Ford unveiled the concept of "Evos" in the public automobile and cloud linkage

Ford Motor Co., the first exhibitor at COMPUTEX, held a press conference on June 4, 2012 to introduce various data communication services developed by the company. The company has actively participated in IT exhibitions recently and has also become a frequent visitor to the International Products Exhibition held in the US in January every year.

At the press conference, Ford first announced that it will promote the in-car voice control system “SYNC” in Asia and use “AppLink” for voice control of smart phone applications.

The SYNC service already has 4 million users and this announcement has made it possible to provide services in Chinese. Ford will take this opportunity to expand the users of the service and strive to reach 9 million users by 2015.

AppLink is an extension of SYNC that uses SYNC's speech recognition capabilities to control smartphone applications. Ford will launch application developers in Asia in the future to expand its application.

Ford then introduced the "Evos" concept of the linkage between cars and the cloud in the near future. The idea of ​​this concept is to realize the linkage between automobiles and cloud services, such as “When the car is detected to be too close to its home when parking, the house will give an alarm”, “Control the temperature inside the car according to the weather forecast” and “According to the traffic jam. Information provides navigation information" and so on.

At this conference, it is of interest to cooperate with Ford and Facebook. Ford introduced the face of the “Hackathon” (Short-time Service Application Development Competition) “Hi-car Linkage” traditional event held on Facebook. Facebook employees check-in information about using car location information. The functions are performed overnight.
