A study of in-vehicle infotainment system based on HTML5 using Tizen IVI

Cars are the most essential and important means of transportation to modern people. However, the service paradigm of cars, which were just a simple means of transportation in the past, is being changed in combination with recent IT technology. In-Vehicle Infotainment system (IVI), with this flow, is not only playing an existing navigation role. However, unlike mobile OS market which Android and IOS occupy the most, the In-vehicle infotainment market is still in competition. Technical competition of related companies gets deepened to preoccupy this new market, and IT companies are also participating in competition one after another. Typically, GENIVI to establish Linux based open-source IVI platform, Android Auto of Google, Car Play of Apple, Window Embedded, Car2 of QNX, and Tizen IVI of Samsung are those companies. Therefore, the 3rd party companies have inconvenience having to configure their own services so that they will match with each platform. On the other hand, the services based on HTML 5 standard can reactively respond to hardware like screen size, unlike existing native services, and have advantage that they can promptly correct, distribute existing service so that they will meet the demand of consumers in rapidly changing market. Therefore, this study is going to design and implement In-Vehicle Infotainment system based on open-source and HTML 5 standard. So this study is going to provide the service which is independent in any in-vehicle OS platforms and can promptly deal with the demand of consumers through the design and implement of In-Vehicle Infotainment Application based on HTML 5 and open-source. © 2016 SERSC.
