At CES 2019, an exposition of cutting-edge technologies brought together from around the world, Alps Electric will present a variety of technologies in response to the major trends in automotive development referred to as “CASE”—namely connected cars, autonomous driving, sharing and services, and electric vehicles. Making its first appearance at the show as a new company following its business integration with subsidiary Alpine Electronics, Inc. (Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture; President: Nobuhiko Komeya) on January 1, 2019, Alps Electric will unveil advanced solutions for automobiles combining its own core device technology with Alpine’s software development capabilities.
Exhibit Highlights
1. Touch Input Module (Debut Exhibit)
An input device integrating
capacitive and force feedback technologies of Alps Electric with
Alpine’s display operation technology (GUI). High-sensitivity capacitive
sensing and original ASIC design enable accurate input, while force
feedback technology is used to convey the feel of pushing a switch to
the user’s fingertips.
As a means of in-vehicle input for use while
driving, the module provides a reliable and premium operating feel.
2. RF Positioning Module (Debut Exhibit)
A positioning module ideal
for smart access and remote parking, which require accurate measurement
of the distance between driver and car. Use of the 2.4 GHz band for
positioning, previously complicated, is enabled by combining RF
technology accumulated by Alps Electric over many years with angle of
arrival (AoA) and time of arrival (ToA) techniques. It is therefore
possible to ascertain detailed information on position both inside and
outside the vehicle. As an example of a development project pursued
jointly with Alpine, indoor positioning trials for autonomous drones
will also be introduced.
When you are at CES 2019, please stop by the Alps Alpine booth.
