Panasonic is advancing the development of new IoT services and solutions by combining leading UI/UX(*1) technology with its strong HMI (human machine interface) design technology, which has been refined through the smartphone switch business and automotive touch panel business.
To demonstrate this initiative, Panasonic set up a display booth at CES 2018 (Sands Expo), which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, US from January 9 (Tuesday) to 12 (Friday), 2018. With the concept of "Touch by Panasonic," solutions featuring the natural interface between people and things were showcased with actual applications for homes and factories, as well as hands-on and interactive demonstrations. Panasonic collaborated with customers to create services that can be activated by a touch operation, which is the most natural interface for users.
Panasonic is promoting the development of hardware and services with a focus on user experience, using the lean startup method(*2). Panasonic strengthens collaboration with startups, and accelerates the creation of unique services and businesses.
*1: UI (User Interface) is the interface between users and devices. UX
(User Experience) is experience gained by users through a service, etc.
*2:
The lean startup method is a business startup method in which the user
and market needs are clarified step-by-step through repetitive
hypothesis generation and testing in short cycles and at a low cost
One Touch Home Automation "eny"
Exhibition
concept
This demonstration was to have visitors experience a
"convenient" Smart Home with the one-tap function on offer. With this
function, it is possible to make various aspects of life more
comfortable by simply touching a switch.
Description
By combining
energy-harvesting technology with highly-secure wireless technology,
Panasonic developed a small, high-efficiency, maintenance-free IoT
switch named "eny Switch." It is a service platform triggered by "eny
switch" that enables the control of various smart devices (smart
speakers, smart lights, etc.) and can be integrated with cloud services
and smartphone apps.
The value of this service
By offering
services featuring "eny Switch," Panasonic proposes ways to make various
aspects of life more comfortable. For example, lighting control that
enables all the lights to be turned off at once, a smart speaker for
hearing upcoming personal event and playing personally favorite
background music, and a security monitor that can easily change the
surveillance settings will help create a convenient and comfortable
living space for residents through simple operations.
Suitable applications
Residential
houses, elderly facilities, hotels, offices, etc.

One Touch ID Authentication
Exhibition
concept
This demonstration was proposed realizing of a
factory solution featuring easy ID authentication with communication of
"authorization information" offered. This solution is useful to prevent
problems when factory workers use tools.
Description
Panasonic developed a
communication module using electric-field communication technology that
allows authentication and communication procedures to be carried out
with a natural touching motion. It is a service platform to interface
"people and things," which enables equipment operations according to
workers' tag information.
The value of this solution
By further
simplifying authentication actions, Panasonic proposes a world where
"people and things" are easily and naturally interfaced. For example, by
using ID authentication to link electric tools and a worker wearing a
wristband tag containing authorization information, the operability of a
tool can be quickly assessed and task support provided according to the
worker's skills, therefore helping factories improve work safety and
production efficiency.
Suitable applications
Factories,
offices, hospitals, etc.

Camera Stabilizer
Exhibition concept
Panasonic
exhibited the "camera stabilizer" to be released in March 2018 as a
developer kit. Visitors were able to experience the benefit of image
stabilizer function under any severe vibration.
Description
Panasonic developed an
actuator capable of simultaneous drive of three axes combining image
stabilizer and tracking functions. This device realizes the development
of a camera with a stabilizer capable of reproducing a perfect image of
an object under any circumstance.
The value of this solution
This camera
stabilizer, whose performance is comparable to the "human eye," is
anticipated to be used in the fields of drones and robots, whose
application will continue to expand. It is possible to reproduce
high-quality clear images since the camera can steadily track a fast
moving object, or one that makes sudden rapid actions under any
circumstance.
Suitable applications
Drones, robots,
extreme sports, etc.
