Windows Embedded Automotive Deep Dive: Phone and Media Cores Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Deep Dive: Phone and Media Cores Abstract Windows Embedded Automotive 7―based on the newest generation of embedded operating systems from Microsoft, and combining the award-winning Windows Automotive and Microsoft Auto platforms―is designed specifically for developing state-of-the-art, in-vehicle infotainment systems. It offers a standardized, industry-proven platform for building communication, entertainment, and service-enabled location-based solutions. The Phone Core and Media Core components, part of Windows Embedded Automotive 7, are robust, integrated technologies that allow easy and safe access to phone and media features. Phone Core and Media Core establish a solid foundation for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by providing standardized tools and application programming interfaces (APIs) compatible with a wide range of mobile devices. Automotive OEMs can build solutions with the assurance that Microsoft’s extensive testing of devices and frequent software updates ensure interoperability with the latest mobile handset and media player technologies. This white paper discusses the Phone Core and Media Core components of Windows Embedded Automotive 7 in detail and provides specific industry examples of how these technologies are currently being used.

  • Microsoft Auto 4.0 Datasheet
    Driving Connectivity Microsoft Auto provides a flexible, robust, high performance infotainment platform that enables you to: Create innovative, differentiated solutions for your customers Reduce development cost and shorten time to market Keep your vehicles up-to-date with support for the latest technology 1 Welcome and Foreword The automotive industry is at an inflection point, where software plus services will redefine the future of the in-vehicle experience, and innovation is the new currency. This innovation goes beyond the features and scenarios enabled inside the vehicle cabin, it creates new vehicle ownership scenarios enabled on the web, the PC, and the mobile phone, and extends the relationship with the customer beyond the point of sale. These new scenarios require innovation in the business models and design and engineering processes used to bring breakthrough products to market. Consumers are expecting more from their vehicle systems, and from the level of integration those systems have with their other electronic devices and services. The key challenge facing automakers is how to bring these innovative solutions to their customers quickly and affordably, while maintaining a competitive edge and differentiation. The Microsoft Auto platform and Microsoft Auto Services are the critical components needed to deliver end to end scenarios on that challenge. Automakers face many challenges today, from competitive pressure and cost pressure at every point in the supply chain, to globalization of manufacturing and ensuring global applicability of solutions, and in marketing solutions in new and creative ways to sell cars faster. Microsoft is partnering with the automotive infotainment industry deeply to help address these challenges.

    April 12, 2011 Company Report Electronic Parts Cheil Industries (001300 KS) and Materials Growth engines remain intact Will Cho +822-768-4306 [email protected] Maintain Buy call with TP of W150,000 (vs. current share price of W117,000) We reiterate our Buy call on Cheil Industries with a target price of W150,000. Cheil IndustriesÊ share price has underperformed the KOSPI by 10.2% over the last two months, due to worries about weak 1Q earnings and delays in the companyÊs development of AMOLED materials. However, these weak 1Q earnings projections have already been priced in, and the company is anticipated to roll out AMOLED materials this year as scheduled. In light of rosy growth prospects for 2Q and beyond, we believe that now is the optimal time to buy Cheil Industries. 1Q11 Preview: OP to fall shy of market forecast, reaching W72.5bn Buy (Maintain) Cheil IndustriesÊ 1Q earnings are projected to fall shy of market consensus forecasts in the wake of the slow recovery of IT demand. Sales in 1Q are forecast Target Price (12M, W) 150,000 to remain flat QoQ at W1.31tr (down 0.1% QoQ; up 12.5% YoY), while operating Share Price (04/11/11, W) 117,000 profit is estimated to reach W72.5bn (up 28.3% QoQ; down 7.3% YoY; OP margin Expected Return (%): 28.2 28.2 of 5.5%), failing to meet the market consensus estimate of W83.5bn.
