Summary
This report was prepared by MarkLines based on patent information from the "Technical Information Distribution Service - swimy" provided by Toyota Technical Development Corporation (TTDC), and reports on recent technology topics surrounding the auto industry. The two business areas of TTDC are intellectual property (IP) and measurement control solutions. The IP side of TTDC is involved in the collection and analysis of information on automotive technology developments globally, and provides services such as consulting for research planning, applying for patents in foreign languages, and technical translation.
This report estimates the development system and investigated trends in development items based on patent information for automotive logic semiconductors that integrate multiple functions and CPUs into a single chip, such as SoC (system on chip) and system LSI (Large-scale integration). A look at the trends of the top companies in terms of the number of applications filed suggests that the industry is characterized by the entry of companies from outside the automotive industry that are advancing (artificial intelligence) AI-related development, such as GPUs. A review of each company's patents showed that they address unique issues that arise when processing chips are installed in automobiles and used in autonomous driving control.
