Antolin

Product: VEHICLE ACCESSS SYSTEM

Description

The Vehicle Access System offers a secure keyless access to the car by means of several technologies such as Biometrics (Facial Authentication, Voice Authentication and Fingerprint), Digital Key (through Mobile APP or NFC Card) and PIN Code. In addition, the product includes a backlit solution with functional and ambient illumination and a display as an exterior HMI solution (included in the exterior B-pillar). The multi-factor authentication provides a high level of security for car access, with facial authentication being the most secure system combining 3D facial identification and real live skin detection. All seamlessly integrated packed in a sleek display with intuitive user interface.

Unique advantages

The technology developed has been integrated into an Exterior Vehicle Access System, developed by Antolin. This safe and convenient access system is a combined software and hardware solution for seamless integration into the driver's door or any other external area of the vehicle.  The system includes several authentication methods to access the vehicle:  Biometric data (voice recognition, facial recognition, and fingerprint), Digital key (mobile phone app or NFC card) PIN code.  In this way, drivers are protected against unauthorized access and vehicle theft, requesting, if necessary, double authentication for access.  Opening and starting the car with the voice or the face: the authorized driver will only need his voice or the face to access and start the car, quickly and easily, without the need for physical keys! Customized driver settings: by identifying and recognizing the authorized driver, the car will be able to set the driver's settings, such as seat and mirror placement, favorite music, or even read the latest mails received or social media posts as an assistant.  For face authentication, the head sensing system (IR Camera, IR LED, Dot Projector) is seamlessly integrated in an exterior pillar ensuring a proper field of view and avoiding internal light reflections.  The display and touch panel are optically bonded to the decorative part. This technology reduces light reflection for a sunlight readable solution. The display provides access to the PIN pad and other functionalities such as battery status or glass window operation. The touch panel offers sufficient sensitivity to work in wet conditions. For voice authentication, a MEMS digital microphone is integrated to ensure watertightness. In addition, a Wake-Up Word algorithm avoids standby power consumption. For the fingerprint, the system includes a capacitive sensor suitable for outdoors.  The NFC antenna is integrated to enable digital key use cases via smartphone or NFC card. The mobile app allows remote delivery of a ‘virtual key’ to access the car, even temporarily, for an occasional driver or parcel delivery. The card also enables valet mode. The backlit solution includes high-power RGB LEDs bright enough to be used in sunlight. Packaging of all devices and sensors is critical due to the lack of space in the area where the pillar is installed.

Application

The Vehicle Access System, a combined software and hardware solution for access system seamless integration into driver’s door or any other exterior area, is the latest proposal of Antolin for a convenient vehicle access. The vehicle access system also incorporates several functionalities such as enabling parcel delivery to the car by granting access to the couriers, the possibility of activating the windows from outside the car or GPS location, among others. The systems include an interactive screen and presents a piano black surface with functional and ambient lighting.

BDStar Intelligent & Connected Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd.

Product: Cockpit and Parking integrated Domain Control Unit 

Description

EEA (Electrical/Electronic Architecture) has evolved from Modularization, Integration, Centralization, Domain Fusion to Vehicle Computer (Zone ECUs) and Vehicle Cloud Computing. New Product, like Domain Fusion product (Driving+Parking), or Domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking), has emerged as the EEA trend develops. Qualcomm SA8155P(GEN3) chip, cost-effective and high in Performance (CPU/GPU/DSP…) has enjoyed great popularity among OEMs, more OEMS resort to Use it for Cockpit. The redundant CPUs of Cockpit based on SA8155P can support Auto Parking system development.

Unique advantages

Domain Fusion products (Driving+Parking) launched since 2022, while Domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking) has a late start, no product launched yet in the market. BICV, empowered by its insight and accumulation in Auto market, has planned domain fusion(Cockpit and Parking) early in 2022. Now it is capable for commercial Mass Production after performance optimizing. Product Advantage: -Functions highly integrated: one Domain controlled can support Cockpit functions (Smart Voice Recognition、DMS/IMS、AR-HUD、infotainment Services, etc) and Auto Parking functions, and more parking signals will be transferred to Cockpit to have better HMI; -Cost Effective: 1) hardware sets (Box、Harness, etc.) can be reduced to save vehicle budget; 2) share redundant computing power of Cockpit chipset; 3) to share sensors (AVM cameras) for visual perception and Parking processing;

Application

Domain Fusion product (Driving+Parking) is strongly related with Smart Cockpit, Auto Parking and Intelligent Driving Business, and it enriches product portfolio of Domain Fusion and can fit OEMS’ request with differentiated solutions.  One Supplier response for Cockpit and Parking development, can reduce cost in coordination among Parties concerned, and can improve efficiency of Project Management.   Compared with separated Domain controller solution, Product Cost of Domain Fusion (Driving+Parking) can be Reduce 400-500 RMB/set; and Reuse of Platform can be reached to 70%, which conforms to cost reduction of OEMs.

Prospect

More than 30+ vehicles loaded with SA8155P chipset, and more vehicles will follow this trend as intelligent development. According to prediction of some professional institutes: with increasing demand for smart functions, penetration rate of cockpit domain controller is estimated to be 11% (2.5 million sets) in 2023, 20% (5 million sets) in 2025., APA equipment rate was 10.2% in 2022, 20%+ to be in 2023. A increasing and potential market for BICV to enter into.  Empowered by EEA trend evolution, technical development and better customer experience, OEMs has planned Vehicles with domain Fusion Architecture, while under the circumstance of “Price War” among OEMs, BICV’s domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking) based on SA8155P platform can be better solution to meet both demands for Cost effective and Product completeness.
