Yanfeng, one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers and specialist in smart cabin concepts, showcases its expertise in the field of integrated electronics and interior technology with a true masterpiece in craftsmanship the touchIN Interior Demonstrator. Its human-machine interface (HMI) technologies are designed to be intuitive and convenient, featuring the latest materials for smart, user-friendly, and eco-friendly surfaces.
The combined interior and electronics excellence and expertise of Yanfeng come together in the new touchIN cockpit module. The company excels in the integration of interior components, resulting in the state-of-the-art functionality and stylish elegance of the touchIN. Yanfeng’s customers will enjoy the uniqueness of the interior aesthetics created through mastery of lighting, materials, and processes.
“When designing the touchIN demonstrator, our global research and development teams from across our company’s areas of expertise, such as HMI electronics engineering or functional surface development, have worked to achieve the collective vision of a comfortable, relaxed, and pleasant driving experience that starts with a single touch. Through our cutting-edge technologies’ seamlessly integrated look, feel, and functions, we are proud to present flagship cockpit technologies that are now production-ready,” said Han Hendriks, Chief Technology Officer at Yanfeng Technology.
With industry-leading research and development capabilities for smart interiors, the company has optimized functionality not only for its new generation of Smart Cabin controllers but also for its floor console armrests and the entire cockpit space of the cabin.
Interior Electronics Systems: Smart Cabin Controller
Yanfeng’s new generation Smart Cabin Controller provides the latest in-vehicle electronics technologies and HMI intelligence, to provide cockpit, floor console, and cabin space control. When it comes to individual systems, the touchIN demonstrator excels in all details, as is shown by the integrated Augmented Reality (AR) Navigation System. The AR Navigation system features a live-action display of road and navigation information, giving auxiliary information about driving safety and creating an intuitive, real-life navigation experience.
Individualized electronics features such as face detection or warnings of unsafe driving provide additional assistance technology for drivers and passengers. Using facial recognition technology, the system can read facial fatigue and emotional cues, alerting or accommodating the driver with ambient lighting changes. Detectable sentiments or expressions include joy, smiling, sadness, anger, yawning, or sleepiness. For monitoring the environment around the car, a new Unsafe Driving Warning is instrumental in Yanfeng’s Smart Cabin Controller. Using radar sensing in conjunction with ambient lighting color changes, drivers are effectively warned when pedestrians get too close to the vehicle.
The instrument panel framing the cockpit features Yanfeng’s Slim Air Vents, an obtrusive, stylish interior solution that perfectly regulates the vehicle’s environment. The slim design of the invisible air vent free up space for display screens or smart decorative packages. The Smart Cabin Controller enables position memory, smart directing and more to enhance passenger comfort.
Adaptive Floor Console and Functional Surfaces Gain in Performance
Multi-functional features and adaptive behavior are the key to enhancing floor consoles. The new touchIN demonstrator showcases a smart Adaptive Floor Console concept with variable size and volume. The armrest area converts on receipt of charging signals, near field communication (NFC) signals, or touch button signals, while offering open storage space when the adaptive surface is activated. Mobile devices can be charged by simply placing them onto the surface, providing real-time feedback of the charging status. A functional, translucent skin with an indicator lighting display has been integrated into this adaptive floor console. The company pays great attention to detail when configuring the floor console area into an attractive, adaptive space for consumers under different usage scenarios.
Increased vehicle infotainment requirements create new opportunities to redesign the automotive interiors of the future, and Yanfeng’s multi-functional surfaces and decorative panels showcase an efficient way of supporting these requirements. The company seamlessly integrates multi-functional decorative panels with vehicle interiors. Not only does it improve the overall interior aesthetics of Yanfeng-designed interiors, but at the same time, the smart touch panel provides an interactive and responsive HMI experience which can be customized. A perfect fusion of the infotainment display and HMI system has been achieved by the seamless integration of the decorative panel into the vehicle’s interior surfaces when the functions are not activated. A display panel with touch functions operates the multi-functional control area and is protected by an elegant acrylic glass surface, to create a premium interior appearance.
