I-Audio (AI Integrated Unit) Development i-audio (AI Integrated Unit) Development Koichi Matsuda Syoji Ueoka Isao Hamada Satoru Nakae Shigeo Nakamura Tatsuo Fujii Takeshi Watanabe Yoshinori Kagaya Shigehiko Miura Abstract The increasing popularity of cellular telephones and personal computers in the consumer electronics market over the past few years has been accompanied by an infusion of vehicular on-board electronic systems, both factory installed and optional, from every manufacturer. (Currently, features such as internet connectivity, e-mail, updated facility information, and electronic navigation systems are offered.) However, the majority of consumers do not feel that these systems are worthwhile in the present telecommunications environment given the demands of a vehicular environment (transmission speed, fees, etc.) and with the feature set and price presently offered. At Fujitsu TEN, we have decided to only pursue consumers who use audio product only and have developed the unit described here (hereafter referred to as "i-audio") pursuant to the objective of bringing to market an on- board system that can be sold at a low price and still offer necessary telecommunications features. The telecommu- nication services provided by this device are Area SHOT-- a service that enables location confirmation and supplies information on the surrounding area through map transmission; and E-iSERV-- a service that dispenses informa- tion from the ECLIPSE dedicated server. This document contains outlines of products and on-board features and information describing the new technology used in hardware/software development. 3 FUJITSU TEN TECHNICHAL JOURNAL 1 Introduction ・Wallpaper Display: Default 2 images, 1 Customizable image Recent developments in the consumer electronics ・Background animation: Default 3 Patterns market, such as the diffusion of cellular phones and per- AV Parts sonal computers have led to improvements in the ・Radio（AM/FM） telecommunications environment.

    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • 2011 Annual Report (42Nd Term)
    Annual Report For the year ended March 31, 2012 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Please accept our gratitude for your continued support. Below are some remarks on the report for FUJITSU TEN's 42nd term (April 2011 to March 2012). Takashi Shigematsu, President (1) Business Environment Looking at the economy this term, although overseas business conditions in ASEAN and so on were good, the Chinese economy is showing signs of uncertainty. Moreover, advanced economies on the whole have been stagnant. In Japan, impacts of the Great East Japan Earthquake and flooding in Thailand led to a temporary downturn in business. Although the economy displayed some signs of recovery thanks to the restoration of supply chains and so on, the positive developments were delayed somewhat due to overseas economic trends and the impact of dramatic appreciation in the yen. In the domestic automotive market, restoration of the eco car subsidy program helped boost car sales, while the complete transition to terrestrial digital broadcasting encouraged repurchase demand for navigation products and so on, however, this was not enough to bring about full-scale recovery. Due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and flooding in Thailand, clients of automotive makers had to suspend operations and supply chains were severed, thus leading to reduced sales and production for FUJITSU TEN. Moreover, against a background of advancing price reduction for navigation products, intensifying competition with rival companies, dramatic and record-breaking appreciation of the yen and stagnation of the Japanese car market, which is our primary sales area, we were unfortunately unable to recover our sales figures.
