    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.
