Message from the President Hiroshi Yasuda President of HIKARI Service Architecture Consortium Increase in concern over high-speed access environments in the Internet and broadband communication services is demonstrated by the fact that the number of subscribers to ADSL in Japan exceeded 1.5 million at the end of 2001. In addition, fiber-optics-based 100-Mbps-class services have started also in Japan as a full-fledged broadband service. The advent of the broadband era has been supported by dramatic advances in information technologies (IT) based on progress in computer and telecommunication along with sophistication of devices. Having said that, for most of people, broadband services are not yet a familiar part of daily life. For example, people who make full use of the Internet as a new medium are limited to business people and teenagers with cellular phones. On the other hand, for most housewives, seniors, and children, the Internet has not yet caught up with a conventional medium like TV as a part of daily life. If we want a world in which everyone can enjoy broadband delivery of content such as video streaming, the development of intelligent home appliances that are as easy to operate as TV sets will be essential. All the more, fresh content that families need in their daily lives, such as bargain offer at local supermarkets, remote hookup of a sports meeting, and information on wide variety of events to be held in the community, is necessities. Besides delivery of information content, a new form of interactive broadband services can be envisaged. If one can see the living room of his/her parents’ home and converse with his/her parents face to face on the screen at any time, the home of a young couple living in a city and the parents’ home located far away will be connected through an optical network, and a new lifestyle of “parents’ and their children’s families’ virtually living together” may be materialized. As to service providers, starting with telecommunication-service providers and computer-system integrators, many types of operators, such as home-appliance producers, content-distribution providers, and application-service providers, will be involved in realization of broadband services. For various types of operators to tie up with one another in order to develop broadband services smoothly to form a larger market, guidelines and standardization, such as for standardized operating instructions of terminals, and standardized procedures of network use between home terminals and networks, networks and providers, and among providers, will be necessary. Against such a background, the idea of establishing HIKARI Service Architecture Consortium (HSAC) --an alliance among industries that aims for realization of new broadband services-- was announced in November 2000, and companies and bodies that would be interested in joining it were recruited. As a result, the number of companies/bodies who have joined HSAC increased from 49 in January 2001, when the Consortium started, to 80 in July 2001, reflecting heightened interest in broadband communication. HSAC defines “HIKARI services” as 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps full-fledged broadband services through fiber optics. It defined three main elements for modeling HIKARI services and systems: content providers, end-users, and a “HIKARI service platform” which connect providers and end-users. By doing so, it aims to: (1) Find HIKARI services with media-rich feature that are characteristic of the broadband era (2) Clarify functions and architecture of the HIKARI service platform that distribute/deliver content from content providers to end-users (3) Clarify interface requirements between the HIKARI service platform and content providers/ end-users For these purposes, two committees, the Service Committee and the Technical Committee, are organized and these issues are discussed over the course of the past year. As a result of the study, the Service Committee extracted twenty-two types of services to make a service model, focused on typical five among them with intensive discussion, and drafted descriptions about concepts of HIKARI services. The Technical Committee then selected two prospective ones and clarified functions and architecture of the HIKARI service platform, and defined requirements for interfaces between the HIKARI service platforms and content providers/end-users. The following documents systematically summarize the discussions so far on realization of whole new HIKARI services by the Service Committee and the Technical Committee: [a] Summary of HIKARI Service Concepts [b] Technical Report on HIKARI Service Network Architecture [c] Interface Requirements for HIKARI Services These documents, which were drafted by the energetic members of the two committees in just one year, cover a wide range of areas, but needed further investigation in some parts. These documents are important, because they are the first that show the frameworks of architecture, and system requirements of HIKARI services with the collaboration of people in different industries. We expect that these documents will be fully utilized in your discussions on setting out to HIKARI-service businesses in the broadband era.

  • 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.
