-Equipped with LTE communication function and sensor function, making automobiles IoT-

GMO Internet Group January 20, 2020 To all members of the press GMO Mobility Cloud Co., Ltd. ================================= =============== GMO Mobility Cloud Japan's first OBDII connector to automatically detect and report traffic accidents is now available-Equipped with LTE communication function and sensor function to make automobiles IoT- ================================================ GMO Internet GMO Mobility Cloud Co., Ltd. (* 1) (President: Mitsuru Aoyama, hereinafter referred to as GMO Mobility Cloud), which develops connected car-related businesses in the group, has an OBDII (* 2) connector "LINK Drive Air" equipped with LTE communication function. Drive Air) by GMO (patent pending, LINKDrive Air) will be available from January 20, 2020 (Monday). "LINK Drive Air" can detect car malfunctions and breakdowns automatically and in real time, and also has a function to immediately and accurately determine the vehicle status and notify the accident reception center in the event of an accident. It is the first in-vehicle connector (OBDII) in Japan. We provide it to corporate companies that manage automobiles in-house, including automobile leasing business. (* 1) A joint venture between GMO Cloud Co., Ltd., a GMO Internet Group established on January 6, 2020, and Sojitz Corporation, a general trading company. (* 2) OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) is an in-vehicle failure diagnosis function installed inside an electronic control unit (ECU) such as an automobile engine or brake. ------------------------------------------------- [ Environment surrounding connected cars and background of service provision] ---------------------------------------- --------- In Japan these days, ITS construction (*) that connects people, roads, and vehicles by utilizing the latest information and communication technology to improve safety, transportation efficiency, and comfort. 3) is being promoted under the initiative of the government, including the practical application of autonomous driving of automobiles, the utilization of infrastructure / vehicle-derived data, and the utilization of automobile-related information. Against this background, "connected cars" are attracting attention because they have converted automobiles to IoT, equipped with multiple sensors and communication functions, and can collect and analyze various data such as vehicle conditions and road conditions in real time via a network. In addition, the next-generation mobile communication technology "5G," which will be launched in the spring of 2020, is expected to support the spread of connected cars. Under these circumstances, GMO Mobility Cloud, which was established in January 2020, will undertake the connected car-related business that GMO Cloud Co., Ltd. will develop from September 2017, and will automatically analyze and remote the vehicle status through the retrofitted in-vehicle connector (OBDII). We provide "LINK Drive System", an IoT solution for automobiles that can perform diagnosis. GMO Mobility Cloud is Japan's first LTE communication function-equipped type with two types of sensor functions in order to promote improvements in the safety, comfort, and convenience of automobiles in the connected car society, which is expected to grow at an accelerating rate in the future. We have decided to provide the on-board connector (OBDⅡ) "LINK Drive Air". (* 3) An abbreviation for Intelligent Transport Systems, which is an intelligent transport system. ------------------------------------------------- [ Overview of "LINK Drive Air"] -------------------------------------------- ----- "LINK Drive Air" is a service for corporations that manages multiple vehicles by improving OBDII of "LINK Drive", a service for car owners that "visualizes" the condition of automobiles that has been provided so far with a smartphone app. is. By installing it in a car, it is installed in a more advanced advanced safety vehicle (ASV) as well as information such as mileage, running time, fuel consumption, vehicle speed, engine speed, etc. accumulated in the ECU (engine control unit). It is an in-vehicle connector equipped with an LTE communication function that can collect and automatically analyze data around the safety support system and engine. In addition, we will develop an interface (management screen) for viewing vehicle data collected and analyzed on the cloud according to the customer. It can also be used at car dealers and maintenance shops through the cloud system. ■ Feature 1: Secure and continuous data communication OBDII (with digital certificate) ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Like a mobile router, it has LTE communication function and also has an electronic certificate (* 4). This makes it possible to constantly send and analyze vehicle data on the cloud in a secure communication environment. ■ Feature 2: Detects the impact of a car and promptly automatically notifies (equipped with a sensor) ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ It is also equipped with an "accelerometer" that detects movement, vibration, and impact, and a "gyro sensor" that detects rotational movement. Therefore, by attaching the OBDII of "LINK Drive Air" to the car, it is possible to detect a slight to severe impact with the OBDII itself. ■ Feature 3: Diagnosis of unique information of manufacturer and vehicle type based on CAN data (corresponding to about 4,500 vehicle types) ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Due to the sophistication of automobile systems such as engine peripherals and safety support systems, the types of in-vehicle ECUs that electronically control these systems differ depending on the vehicle model and manufacturer, and the number of installed ECUs Is also increasing. This ECU is linked to each other by CAN (* 5) of the in-vehicle network, and OBDII of "LINK Drive Air" collects vehicle data from CAN communication and also contains CAN data unique to the manufacturer's vehicle stored in the cloud. In addition, it is possible to analyze domestic and imported vehicles of about 4,500 models. This makes it possible to collect data on system malfunctions and failures that differ depending on the vehicle model, enabling more detailed diagnosis. ■ Feature 4: Cooperate with the accident reception center in the event of an accident ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Performs multi-analysis that combines the impact data at the time of an accident transmitted on the cloud in real time, driving data such as accelerator and brake operations before and after the accident, and engine power data to detect detailed accidents. Make an immediate decision. Based on that judgment, it is possible to automatically report to the accident reception center on behalf of the person or witness, and promptly cooperate with the fire department or hospital. Furthermore, if you combine the data transmitted on the cloud with the video of the drive recorder, you can check the accident situation in more detail. (* 4) By allowing access only from devices that have a certificate (client certificate) that allows communication, spoofing, falsification, and unauthorized access can be prevented. (* 5) Controller Area Network (CAN) is a communication protocol used to transfer information such as vehicle speed, engine speed, brake status, and failure diagnosis information. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▼ Name: LINKDrive Air ▼ Usage fee (excluding tax) ): Connector price: 24,800 yen Service usage fee (monthly): 1,980 yen ▼ Remarks: The service usage fee does not include the development cost of the management screen of the data collected and analyzed on the cloud.
