MirrorLink™ (previously known as Terminal Mode) offers seamless connectivity between a smartphone and the car infotainment system. The consumer merely gets into the car (1), connects the phone with a cable (2), and immediately gains access to phone applications through car controls such as the navigation screen and steering wheel buttons (3).
Too many words .... by allowing consumers to access their smartphone in the same way they access their car radio MirrorLink™ allows consumers to use their smartphones safely and simply, keeping eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
MirrorLink™ is based on a set of well established, non-proprietary technologies. It uses standard Internet technologies (such as Internet Protocol) for compatibility with a wide range of devices. It also uses technologies already common in the car, such as Bluetooth™ and USB™, and newly-introduced car technologies such as Wi-Fi as well. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) is used for controlled access to applications. Virtual Network Computing (VNC™) is used to replicate the phone's display on the navigation screen and communicate user inputs back to the phone. Besides Bluetooth™, audio can also be streamed using the Real-Time Protocol (RTP).
MirrorLink™ also provides a mechanism that ensures only approved applications are accessible while driving. Applications will be approved using a standardize testing process that will be introduced later this year.
MirrorLink is supported by he Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), which is dedicated to developing global standards for smartphone in-car connectivity. Since its inception in February 28, 2011 the CCC has grown to 57 members. These members are among the world’s leading automotive, mobile communications, and consumer electronics industry companies representing over 70% of the worldwide market share in vehicles and over 60% of the worldwide market share in smartphones.
The responsibilities of the CCC include writing technical specifications, building test tools for certifying products, supporting application developers with user-interface guidelines and conferences, and ensuring a trouble-free experience for users through publicity and trademark enforcement.
The Car Connectivity Consortium's first effort is MirrorLink™. MirrorLink™ is a technology standard that allows a consumer to access their phone using the same controls they use for accessing the car radio, climate control, and navigation system. -- Roger C. Lanctot
