Kariya, Dec 9, 2011 (JCN) - DENSO has developed ARPEGGiO, a smartphone-based information system that uses the onboard navigation screen to display and operate smartphone applications, to help drivers safely stay connected while driving. DENSO's ARPEGGiO will be released in Japan next year and the company plans to have the service used worldwide in the future.
DENSO's new system requires an ARPEGGIO-enabled car navigation system and the respective DENSO ARPEGGiO app, which users will need to download to their smartphones. Once complete, the smartphone and car navigation system will automatically communicate with each other through a Bluetooth connection and display a list of smartphone applications, available through ARPEGGiO, onto the car navigation display.
ARPEGGiO is not just a system that displays the smartphone operation screen on the navigation display. It modifies the look of the original smartphone application and formats it in a way that's easier to view on the car navigation screen. In addition, to ensure safety, the system is designed to restrict the driver's operation of certain applications while driving.
At present, the initial application services planned for the Japanese market include:
- Searching for locations and setting destinations
- Playing music stored on smartphones and streaming Internet radio
- Track vehicle fuel efficiency
- Registering the vehicle's current location on social networking services (SNS), such as mixi
Content providers will update information and supply these services through users' smartphones, enabling them to obtain the latest information without updating their car navigation systems.
