Elmos launches a new generation of gesture recognition sensor solutions based on the E909.21/22 chip

Non-contact gesture recognition for automotive central control entertainment systems
 
On July 8, 2019, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany, the German technology system solutions provider Germany Elmos has announced the launch of a new generation of multi-functional contactless gesture recognition solution demonstrator. As the global market leader in automotive applications, the solution board presents a variety of features in a variety of application scenarios and demonstrates examples of next-generation automotive CCP entertainment systems: radio station operation, music selection, volume control, and accurate images. Choices as well as telephone call answering and other applications. This is the first time that an optical long-range touch sensor has been integrated – this makes the “wake-up” control as intuitive as its operation. This new concept makes it easy to integrate gesture control outside the display, such as the center console or armrests.
 
The demonstrator's circuit structure is very compact and this unit contains all the hardware circuitry for complete gesture recognition and optical sensors. The module screen uses a standard car LCD display. The control unit and screen are connected via USB to ensure an organic combination. First-time users can interact with each other accurately and easily through an intuitive GUI for a better user experience.
 
The gesture recognition solution demonstrator is based on the ELOS.21 (controller) and E909.22 (signal conditioning) ICs based on the elmos HALIOS® principle. They are used in automotive electronics for optical proximity and gesture recognition. Features. The controller and chip conditioning chip are designed for use in a large display on a car's large screen, and the combination of the two provides a perfectly coordinated solution for precise human interaction with a graphical user interface (GUI).
 
These two ICs can perform gestures such as proximity, sliding, air sliding TM, and zooming. Real-time processing of object recognition and motion analysis based on simple infrared optoelectronic technology.
 
Elmos is a pioneer in gesture recognition in automotive applications, and in this application elmos is in the first place in the world. One of the reasons is that the product has the best resistance to external ambient light and automatic system calibration on the market. In addition, many important features are integrated to simplify system and sensor design, making it a plug-and-play solution. E909.21 has been used in various models of well-known OEM car manufacturers.
