Automotive interconnection, Bosch teaches you to play internet

With the rapid development of mobile Internet technology, it is no longer a new thing for IT hardware and software manufacturers to cross the border to play cars. The ever-expanding interconnected functions have gradually turned the car into a computer terminal running on the highway. Although there are still some technical difficulties, there are no universal standards, how to accurately perform sensing and calculation, and how to ensure information security. And so on. These problems have been encountered in the development of both the PC and mobile terminals in the Internet and mobile Internet. Resolving them is only a matter of time.

Therefore, in the era of automotive interconnection, it is even more important for companies to seize opportunities to expand their applications so that the Internet can truly bring value to users. At the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Bosch CEO Dr. Volckermar Dunnell once delivered a speech and said that in the face of future automotive trends, automotive suppliers must also actively respond. How does Bosch play in the interconnection of one of the three major trends?

The automobile interconnection is based on real-time data and information transmission. Many car brands have embedded systems with interconnected features into their vehicles, such as Cadillac's OnStar system and BMW's in-vehicle iDrive system. These systems can remotely control vehicles through specific platforms such as control centers and smartphone apps. Specific features, but these are just the beginnings, and the future of automobile interconnection will also extend between vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and infrastructure. But in Bosch's view, apart from the development of new technologies and products, new service solutions and business models are more important.

Customer-friendly service solutions

For different user groups, different requirements and different service solutions are required. Bosch is developing solutions that are targeted at the team and are aimed at maintenance personnel. Of course, there are also owners.

Interconnect control unit

For fleet operators, such as car rental companies, truck fleets, etc., how to more easily obtain status information for each car, and more scientifically manage the fleet to reduce operational risk is the most important It is also the most urgent need. In response to this demand, Bosch introduced the Connected Control Unit (CCU) service, which allows the vehicle to connect to the vehicle via the on-board bus, monitors the vehicle's operating data in real time, and provides diagnostic information and maintenance recommendations based on the data. After the information is generated, it will be automatically transmitted to the control center of the vehicle fleet so that the management personnel can promptly collect the status information of the vehicle and make reasonable arrangements for travel.

Bosch has already signed an agreement with a car rental company. This technology was put into use in 2014.

How2Fix

How2Fix is ​​an internet application developed for auto repair shops and maintenance technicians. It is a mobile app.

How2Fix user interface

How2Fix user interface

To use this app, you must first register your account on the Bosch TTS website and then log in on the mobile phone. After login, as long as the keyword search is entered in the operation interface, How2Fix will give appropriate options to assist maintenance personnel in troubleshooting and maintaining. There are currently more than 60,000 maintenance programs available in Bosch's back-end database. Of course, if you do not find the desired repair program on the APP, you can use the TBS (TroubleTicketSystem) function to send the vehicle's symptoms back to the car maintenance specialists in the background. They will provide new solutions and these plans will also be updated. To the database. On the Bosch TTS website, it is also possible to enter fault information online or search for it. The website uses the same database as the APP.

In November last year, this app also landed on iOS and Android.

mySpin

I have briefly introduced mySpin (MySmartphoneintegration) before. MySpin is the same as How2Fix, but it also works on both iOS and Android.

mySpin enables communication between a smartphone and an on-board system via USB or Bluetooth, and the user can directly project the APP in the smartphone onto the display of the in-vehicle system. In this way, even if you are not satisfied with the original car entertainment system, you don't need to spend a few thousand dollars to buy one, as long as you have a smart phone. It should be noted that when the APP is projected to the on-board display through mySpin, the APP cannot be displayed on the mobile phone and can only be operated through the on-board display. This means that the quality of the on-board display directly affects the user's experience. If the display's experience is not good, this feature is a little tasteless. In the future, mySpin can be connected to the car system via wifi.

In order to ensure traffic safety, the mySpin system has set up a "white list". Only through Bosch's internal auditing mechanism can a certified mobile phone APP enter the "white list" and operate through the car entertainment system. According to Bosch, the certification process will be further improved in the future, and vehicle manufacturers, industry associations, and policy makers may be added to the certification team.

This technology has not yet been put into use on any models and is expected to be produced in volume this year.

Drivelog

Drivelog is Bosch's online platform. The Chinese translation is a logbook. Unlike the previous services, Drivelog is an e-commerce service platform for repair stations. It is also the vehicle cloud bacteria. One of the most important features of several functions. Unfortunately, the current Drivelog, whether it is a website or a mobile app, is only available in German and is also used only in Germany. For those who only know Hallo and IchLiebeDich, living in the Cosmos fungus of the Celestial Capital, it is too difficult to use.

What can I write on this platform?

For car owners, after registering an account, they can register their own vehicles in the platform. After registration, the platform will track the vehicle and produce a digital service log. The log will include information such as driving data and vehicle status. Based on these data, Drivelog can know the vehicle's scheduled inspection time based on the model, and can remind the owner to do a fixed inspection when the inspection date approaches. Because the platform is also connected to the vehicle maintenance site, the owner can search for the nearest car repair station through the platform and make an appointment.

However, these functions now have on-board systems such as the Toyota G-Book, which is quite common. What makes cloudworm bacteria can not help but praise is that the platform will collect all kinds of recall information, and provide recall information to the owner according to the brand and model, so that owners can know in time. What is not yet clear is whether the vehicle information on the Drivelog platform is manually entered by the owner or whether sensors are implanted in the vehicle. The owner only needs to provide the number and it can be automatically read.

In addition, Drivelog can also monitor and record the various costs incurred by the vehicle. Because the Drivelog platform is also a part of the e-commerce platform, although the current product is only sold tires, but will also provide owners with some e-commerce preferences and where the gas station is discounted and the like information. According to speculation, the platform's current recordable cost should be the consumption of the owner on the platform (for example, the purchase of tires), and the consumption of service stations, gas stations, etc. recorded on the Drivelog. If the coverage of the Drivelog is wider, all service stations, gas stations, and even parking lots and expressway toll stations in an area can be included in the statistics, so that future owners can see all the expenses involving the vehicle on the platform.

For a maintenance station, etc., Drivelog can be considered as a promotion platform. The maintenance station can upload preferential information and service items in the store to Drivelog, and can also maintain existing customer information on Drivelog.

At present, Germany has more than 55,000 drivers registered with Drivelog, and more than 3,000 maintenance stations use this platform. In July last year, Drivelog became the official partner of the German Automobile Association (ADAC).

Combining electrified business models

In the business model, Bosch integrates the interconnection with the other development trend of the car - electrification. Electric vehicles are considered to be one of the most viable technological paths in the future, but current battery technologies and many other aspects have yet to be broken. People with mileage anxiety worry about how to reduce the application threshold of electric vehicles. Can it improve efficiency?

In 2011, Bosch joined the electric vehicle pilot project launched in Singapore to participate in the design, implementation and operation of charging infrastructure as a technology supplier. In this infrastructure system, each charging station is connected to each other via an open source network platform. Registered users can check the nearest charging station at any time through the network. Due to the open source design, other infrastructure providers can also participate in the design of solutions.

The pilot project continued until 2016. During this period, this set of solutions will also be continuously improved and gradually form a business model that can be widely promoted.

Apart from Singapore, Bosch also operates electric vehicle-related projects in cities such as Stuttgart, Germany.

Singapore Electric Vehicle Pilot Project

It is estimated that by 2015, there will be more than 6.5 billion devices connected to the Internet globally. Of these devices, automobiles will occupy about 10% of the total. Therefore, the future of automobile interconnection may not only be limited to automobiles and intelligent transportation, but also extend to people-related medical and security aspects. In the future, the development of smart cars will be inseparable from the Internet, because the Internet is the basis for realizing these convenient functions.
