APAC Channel Sounding 1

In April, Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) executives visited member companies across four cities in Greater China to enhance engagement and drive innovation. On 23-24 April, in partnership with the Intelligent Connected Car Open Alliance (ICCOA) and the Intelligent Connected Car Ecosystem Alliance (ICCE), and alongside experts from Texas Instruments, Silicon Labs, DENSO, NXP Semiconductors, Huawei, Goodix Technology, Lambda:4, Rohde & Schwarz, Xiaomi, Synopsys, STMicroelectronics, Infineon, and Yuanfeng Technology, the Bluetooth SIG hosted two workshops on the upcoming Bluetooth® Channel Sounding feature. These events, attended by hundreds from the smart vehicle industry, provided critical updates and infused new energy into the Chinese automotive sector.

Bluetooth® Channel Sounding enables secure, fine ranging between two Bluetooth devices, improving the accuracy and security of a wide range of Bluetooth devices and use cases, including Bluetooth digital keys. To help member companies in Greater China understand these advancements, the workshops gathered experts from various sectors to discuss the development and application of the technology.

With the rapid development of automotive intelligence, the consumer market has higher expectations for human-vehicle interaction. The digital key, as a crucial part of the human-vehicle interaction, has become a focal point within the industry. ICCOA and ICCE, as major industry associations established by automotive and intelligent terminal companies in China, play a leading role in promoting automotive industry intelligence. They are committed to deepening cooperation among smart device manufacturers, formulating technical standards, and continuously promoting the process of vehicle-smartphone interconnection.

At the workshops, the Bluetooth SIG delivered impressive presentations on ranging methods, security, and application scenarios for Bluetooth Channel Sounding. In addition to providing greater security and accuracy to Bluetooth keyless entry solutions, the new secure fine ranging technology will enable Bluetooth item finding solutions to provide higher accuracy as users approach the located items and increase the performance and safety of Bluetooth Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions.

With market demand and technological maturity driving growth, digital car keys and human-vehicle interaction are thriving. The Bluetooth SIG will continue collaborating with the ICCOA, ICCE, and other standards organizations to advance Bluetooth Channel Sounding applications in the digital key sector, aiming to deliver a more convenient, secure, and intelligent driving experience in Greater China.

4月、Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group)の幹部が、連携強化とイノベーション促進のためグレーター・チャイナの4都市でメンバー企業を訪問しました。4月23日から24日にかけて、Bluetooth SIGが主催する2つのワークショップが、今後新たに登場するBluetooth® Channel Sounding (チャネルサウンディング)機能をめぐって開催されました。ワークショップはICCOA(インテリジェント・カー・コネクティビティ・オープン・アライアンス)、ICCE(インテリジェント・コネクテッド・カー・エコシステム・アライアンス)の協力のもと、専門家たちがテキサス・インスツルメンツ、シリコン・ラボ、デンソー、NXPセミコンダクターズ、ファーウェイ、Goodix Technology、Lambda:4、ローデ・シュワルツ、シャオミ、シノプシス、STマイクロエレクトロニクス、インフィニオン、Yuanfeng Technologyの各社から集い、行われました。スマートビークル業界からの参加者は数百名に及び、最新の重要な情報を提供して、自動車業界に新たな活気をもたらしました。

Bluetooth®︎チャネルサウンディングは、セキュリティを確保しつつ高精度で2つのBluetoothデバイス間の測距を行えるため、Bluetoothデジタルキーをはじめ、幅広い種類のBluetoothデバイスやユースケースで精度とセキュリティを向上させます。グレーター・チャイナのメンバー企業にこうした最新技術への理解を深めてもらうため、ワークショップではさまざまな分野のエキスパートが招かれ、技術の開発と応用について議論を交わしました。

自動車インテリジェンスの急速な発展に伴い、人と車の対話に関する消費者市場の期待も高まっています。デジタルキーは、人と車の対話機能の極めて重要な部分として業界の注目を集めています。ICCOAとICCEは、中国の自動車およびインテリジェント端末企業によって設立された主要な業界団体で、自動車業界におけるインテリジェンスの推進で中心的な役割を担っています。これらの団体では、スマートデバイスのメーカー間の協力の深化と、標準技術の策定、自動車・スマートフォン接続プロセスの継続的な推進に取り組んでいます。

ワークショップでは、Bluetoothチャネルサウンディングの測距方法、セキュリティ、アプリケーションシナリオについて、Bluetooth SIGからプレゼンテーションが披露されました。この新しくセキュアな高精度測距技術は、Bluetoothを使用するキーレスエントリー・ソリューションのセキュリティと精度の向上に加え、Bluetoothの持ち物探索ソリューションでユーザーが探し物に近づく際の精度を高めるほか、BluetoothのHMI(ヒューマンマシンインターフェース)ソリューションの性能と安全性も向上させます。

市場の需要と技術の成熟度が成長を後押しし、自動車のデジタルキーや人と車の対話機能は活況を呈しています。Bluetooth SIGは今後もICCOA、ICCE、および他の標準化団体と協力を続けることで、デジタルキー分野でのBluetoothチャネルサウンディングの応用を進め、グレーター・チャイナにおける、より便利で安全性が高く、かつインテリジェントなドライビング体験の実現を目指します。
