Automakers can now offer a rich user experience
while providing a unified HMI UI across various digital displays in
the vehicle
HARMAN (NYSE: HAR), the premier connected technologies company
for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced today
its automated UI development suite for the automotive industry,
enabling automakers to seamlessly create connected, multi-screen
and secure In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems. HARMAN has
created a leading application and UI framework, based on the Qt
cross-platform application framework, which includes a flexible
architecture that allows automakers to develop human machine
interfaces (HMI) more expediently while simultaneously creating
more personalized user experiences.
Today’s consumers have grown to expect the same type of
connectivity in their vehicles as on their mobile devices. This
includes an integrated experience across all screens in the
vehicle. With the introduction of the Automated UI Development
Suite, HARMAN is facilitating this type of rich user experience and
providing a unified HMI UI across digital displays in the
vehicle.
Key components of the Automated UI Development suite
include:
- A toolchain that enables product
managers, designers and developers to innovate through realistic
simulations and trace requirements through to deployment.
- A Software Development Tool Kit (SDK)
that simplifies the HMI design process through the support of
multi-display solutions, including center display and rear-seat
entertainment.
- Applications as downloadable
modules.
Key benefits of these components include:
- The tool chain includes advanced
features like continuous build and test automation for rapid high
quality HMI builds.
- High-performing, quickly adaptable user
interfaces based on open standards.
- Ability to reuse HMI business logic
across different vehicle models and brands.
- Support for different distributed
system architectures such as Multi-SoC and Single SoC with
Hypervisor.
- Enablement of rapid, continuous
development, including use of simulation, target devices and
test-case validation.
- A more rapid evolution of the HMI
throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
“Automakers are looking for solutions that can improve the speed
and efficiency for end-to-end HMI design – and that includes
advancing the quality of connectivity and comfort that consumers
expect in their vehicles,” said Sanjay Dhawan, president, HARMAN
Connected Services. “To help automakers build, manage and innovate
HMI in their vehicles, we created an automated UI development suite
that consists of a powerful multi-screen HMI framework and an
equally powerful toolchain.”
