Intel integrated location platform active in their chips

Location-based services (LBS), each company According to IHSiSuppli the company's automotive infotainment and telematics services, is committed to on the phone or car, are some interesting dynamic.

    Five years ago, the location-based services or an independent high-priced services, limited interaction with other applications. Today, the positioning has become a way of user real-time exchange with other people's whereabouts.

    This, changes that affect the positioning service and attitude from the eco-system providers to application developers and end users. Therefore, many companies are rethinking their strategies, how to develop and deploy location-based services. For example, Nokia has changed the traditional way, while Intel LBS to take a new countermeasures.

    In September 2011, Intel announced it agreed to acquire Israel's location-based services and navigation provider Telmap, a cause for concern. Telmap will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, will allow Intel can increase the content of navigation and local search and other LBS in AppUp eco-system. Telmap will its position standardized application programming interfaces (APIs) integration to the Intel platform, enables developers to use location-based functionality in their applications.

    Intel would like to make the location and LBS capabilities to become an integral part of its chips, for smart phone or a car solution. The location information for the user to access is part of the mobile platform. Intel would like to provide an option, this option as part of its chip design already contains the necessary location API to equipment manufacturers and potential automotive customers.

    Such a system for mobile phone manufacturers can be of great significance. To use Intel chips in mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturers will be able to provide end users with a series of proprietary brands of location-based services, regardless of the use of mobile phones is what operating system. Do not have to use Google, Microsoft, RIM, or Nokia location API, device manufacturers can use the Intel chip location platform, which can in a chip level to compete with the operating system ecosystem.

    Mobile phone manufacturers can use the Intel platform to launch its own brand of cross-platform services, but Intel chipset contains more features to mobile phone partners, make chips to achieve differentiation. Integration the Telmap content and functionality, to highlight Intel's desire to make the chip become more central element in a variety of products. Telmap's position can be applied in mobile phones and car, but Intel's interest is not necessarily the content providers in the traditional sense. The Company believes that such integration is a necessary step which allows it to remain competitive, and sell as many chips.

    This strategy will complement Intel used its IntelCapitalConnectedCar Fund's investment in the development of automotive technology. The fund size of $ 100 million, was set up in February 2012,Main products: car DVD player and car dvd , are with good quality. global investment in the next four to five years, investment in hardware, software and services company focused on developing technology for new vehicle applications and the realization of a car with all Connect the connection between the devices.
