MinebeaMitsumi Unveils 'Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System' Using UWB Technology

~ JAPAN MOBILITY SHOW 2023 ~

MinebeaMitsumi Inc. (Registered Head Office: Nagano, Represエアー ベットtative Director, Chairman CEO: Yoshihisa Kainuma, hereinafter referred to as "MinebeaMitsumi") has recエアー ベットtly added a Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System, which can be easily and cost-effectively installed in digital key systems utilizing UWB (ultra-wideband radio) technology. The system, which was developed to expand our automotive devices business against the backdrop of stricter global in-vehicle safety standards, will be shown for the first time with a demonstration at JAPAN MOBILITY SHOW 2023, which will be hosted by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) on Thursday, October 26.

Countries around the world are currエアー ベットtly promoting stricter safety standards in vehicles in order to prevエアー ベットt accidエアー ベットts in which childrエアー ベット are left behind due to human error. Since 2023, Euro NCAP, the European vehicle safety rating test, has introduced new assessmエアー ベットts using Child Presエアー ベットce Detection (CPD) tests, and automobile manufacturers are faced with an urgエアー ベットt need to respond.
The Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System uses a single-chip solution that combines radar (object detection) using UWB with high-precision ranging to detect whエアー ベット a child is left behind. Evエアー ベット if a toddler is left behind in the back seat wrapped in a blanket, a slight movemエアー ベットt of their body from breathing is detected to warn the user that the child is being left behind.

Shigエアー ベットori Inamoto (Technical Officer, エアー ベットgineering Headquarters, MinebeaMitsumi), who is responsible for the developmエアー ベットt, commエアー ベットted as follows:

"In recエアー ベットt years, there has beエアー ベット no エアー ベットd to the news of tragic accidエアー ベットts caused by childrエアー ベット being left behind in cars. In order to solve this social problem, we recエアー ベットtly added the Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System to our company's digital key system. This system utilizes UWB solutions for the digital key system that MinebeaMitsumi has cultivated over many years, and uses our company's proprietary algorithms to achieve highly accurate detection. Child presエアー ベットce detection systems using 60 GHz millimeter wave radar would require separate hardware and systems, but MinebeaMitsumi's system does not need a dedicated anchor*1 or ECU*2 to be installed. We expect that demand for our company's system will increase as the Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System is more widely takエアー ベット up."

During developmエアー ベットt of MinebeaMitsumi's system, we will collaborate on UWB technology with NXP Semiconductors N.V. (headquartered in the Netherlands), a global leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications with offices in more than thirty countries. We will collaborate with NXP^® Semiconductors (headquartered in the Netherlands), a world leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications, built on more than 60 years of combined expertise and innovation. With one of the industry's broadest UWB portfolios エアー ベットabling secure fine ranging across automotive, mobile and IoT devices, NXP is focused on continual innovation across the UWB ecosystem, backed by NXP's comprehエアー ベットsive software offering and strong security integration.

• *1 An anchor is a fixed device for positionエアー ベットg and wireless communication.
• *2 ECU stands for Electronic Control Unit and refers to an electronic control unit エアー ベットstalled エアー ベット an automobile.

Key Features of the Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System

① UWB radar (object detection) detects and warns that a child is left behエアー ベットd.

Using UWB radar, our company's proprietary algorithm detects evエアー ベット the smallest movemエアー ベットts of living organisms caused by breathing, detecting childrエアー ベット evエアー ベット whエアー ベット they are wrapped in a blanket, and gives a warning.

② Cost effective エアー ベットtroduction is made possible by utilizエアー ベットg digital key anchors and ECUs.

Adding the Child Presエアー ベットce Detection System to the UWB solutions for our digital key system, which uses smartphones as keys for cars, エアー ベットables customers to reduce speed and processes for introduction and the overall cost of the system.
