Achieving a Software-Defined Multi-Display System with Unified HMI – Deguchi Yukinari, Panasonic Automotive Systems Co. Ltd.
In recent years, the increasing number of in-vehicle displays has created a demand for flexible application display across multiple screens, introducing new UI/UX possibilities. However, developing this flexibility using existing graphic frameworks is costly, as display interconnection must be customized for each hardware platform. There are needs in automotive industry for a “Software-Defined” display framework that separates software from hardware. Our Unified HMI system is a display virtualization technology that allows for flexible development of the entire cockpit UI/UX across multiple displays, regardless of hardware configuration. Unified HMI supports software-defined UI/UX development on different SoCs and OS (e.g., AGL and Android), reduces development time and costs by developing seamlessly in cloud virtual ECU, and enables continuous OTA upgrades to meet customer preferences throughout the vehicle’s long lifespan.
