Internet of things, Create intuitive, connected driving experiences: the real value of Blackberry via QNX Software Systems.



Internet of things trend obliges, progressively we are very excited here at Connectikpeople.co, to see and appreciate a set efforts, technologies and concepts developed by QNX Software Systems a subsidiary of Blackberry Limited.
In this dynamic, Connectikpeople.co observes that, with QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment for example, automakers can offer their customers a controlled, personalized experience in their vehicles with support for user profiles, connectivity to smartphone platforms, speech interfaces, and cloud management services.
During the 2014 International CES January 7, 2014,
QNX Software Systems Limited, software platforms for in-car electronics, has demonstrated its innovations in two new technology concept cars, based on a Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG and a Kia Soul, and
in its reference vehicle, based on a Jeep Wrangler.
Regarding the new QNX Technology Concept Car based on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, the system includes automatic speech recognition from Nuance. The system offers a choice of navigation engines from Elektrobit, HERE (a Nokia business), and Kotei Informatics.

The RealVNC’s MirrorLink™, supports smartphone-to-vehicle integration over USB, and the Miracast® protocol, which projects auto-relevant smartphone interfaces onto the infotainment system over Wi-Fi®.

Connectikpeople.co has also captured a dynamically reconfigurable digital instrument cluster that can display turn-by-turn directions, notifications of incoming phone calls, video from the car’s front and rear cameras, as well as a tachometer, speedometer, and other virtual instruments.
The technology concept car also showcases how any vehicle can become an endpoint in the Internet of Things. The car integrates with cloud technology from DotLinker, allowing the driver to control select vehicle functions with an HTML-based key-fob application that runs on any smartphone. This technology can also enable secure access of in-vehicle data for cloud-based device management, including deployment of software updates from the automaker or dealer.

Regarding the QNX Technology Concept Car for Acoustics based on a Kia Soul, here Connectikpeople.co has experienced full-band stereo voice calling, QNX® Acoustics for Active Noise Control (ANC), an efficient, high-performance alternative to hardware-based ANC solutions that can reduce engine noise created by modern fuel-saving techniques. The car has also demonstrated engine sound enhancement, which can help automotive companies synthesize signature engine tones that are synchronized to the engine and integrated into the vehicle’s sound system.

Regarding the QNX Reference Vehicle based on a Jeep Wrangler, the QNX demonstrated the vehicle’s infotainment system integrated with the digital instrument cluster and offers automatic speech recognition, a Qt-based HMI, Android app support, Elektrobit EB street director navigation, multimedia playback, advanced personalization settings, rear-view camera, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates. Connectikpeople.co has also captured the Internet of Things capabilities from IBM that can transmit vehicle sensor data to the cloud, run realtime analytics against it, and use the results for alerts, notifications, and mobile applications.

The PAVES™ On-demand in-flight entertainment system from Rockwell Collins runs on the QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment and lets airlines offer passengers the latest in high-definition video and entertainment applications. The demonstration illustrates how developers can easily adapt the QNX CAR platform for markets with performance and reliability needs similar to those of automotive, while implementing a completely different HMI and user experience.
