The car computer is a vehicle information revolution! Car computer is a product of historical development. It is the microcomputer automotive product setting entertainment, communication, the status, and other functions as one. Computer integrated automotive electronic products represent the future mainstream of automotive electronics technology and product development direction. Based on car computers, each vehicle can build a perfect vehicle information and entertainment system terminal, can fully integrate the four-vehicle driver assistance systems: automotive communications, navigation, digital and entertainment, easily achieve document processing, wireless Internet access, GPS navigation, audio and video players, digital mobile TV reception, traffic information browsing, remote monitoring, reversing imaging, and other functions.
In fact, these above-mentioned functions and those we have not thought of will appear in our onboard computer in the near future. However, the car inside space is small with poor environment, if integrate more features into the platform-onboard computer, network, is a very important "middleware"!
Middleware is the common service between the platform (hardware and operating systems) and applications, with a standard interface and protocols. For different operating systems and hardware platforms, they can interface with a variety of norms and achieve agreements. As we all know, middleware includes a wide range, for different applications emerged in a variety of middleware products with special characteristics. I put on the Internet as a vehicle computer and other external services, external equipment of a middleware.
The network here, includes Bluetooth, infrared, WIFI, GPRS, CDMA, etc., and the forthcoming implementation of the 3G services (telecom operators have the reorganization, 3G license to be issued). Car computer should provide more "interface" for these network services and even set aside space.
Now many parts of electronic products around us have the functions of Bluetooth, infrared, WIFI and other, the earlier ad on the cannon cameras have been integrated GPS navigation. When you go outings, how convenient for you after getting off and directly using camera navigation! Just imagine: what a good thing if the camera or cell phone can exchange data with the car computer. Transfer photos, video, notice GPS location of each timely short message, or camera real-time transmits video to the other end of the earth through the wireless network of onboard computer.
This is the unlimited expansion of car computer. |
