With the rapid development of smart cars and the Internet of Vehicles, in-vehicle display devices are undergoing an upgrade from "traditional screen" to "smart all-in-one machine". So, what is the difference between the in-vehicle display all-in-one machine and the traditional in-vehicle display screen? What are the differences between the two in terms of function, interaction, technology, and application scenarios? This article will give you a comprehensive analysis.

1. Different definitions: the all-in-one machine is a "smart terminal" and the traditional screen is a "display tool"

The traditional in-vehicle display screen, as the name suggests, is just a screen for displaying information. It mainly undertakes functions such as playing reversing images, displaying broadcast information, and simple audio control. It is usually separated from the host system, has a single function, and cannot run applications independently.

The in-vehicle display all-in-one machine is a highly integrated smart device that integrates the motherboard, operating system, navigation system, communication module, storage unit, etc. It has independent computing capabilities and rich interactive functions, and has gradually become the in-vehicle information interaction center.

2. Functional differences: from "passive display" to "active interaction"

The core functions of traditional car display screens are usually limited to playing videos, reversing images or CD audio control. They cannot connect to the Internet or run APPs and are almost non-interactive.

The in-vehicle display all-in-one supports multiple functions such as navigation, voice control, intelligent voice assistant, 4G/5G networking, application installation, car-machine interconnection (CarPlay/Android Auto)**, etc. It can actively provide route planning, weather forecast, entertainment recommendations, and even link with smart homes. It is a real "car computer".

3. Operating system: whether there is an "intelligent brain" is the key

Traditional car display screens often use dedicated firmware systems, do not have open operating systems, and are difficult to expand or upgrade.

Car all-in-one machines mostly use Android, Linux or automotive-grade dedicated systems, support OTA remote upgrades, and users can download and use various applications like using mobile phones. The system functions are continuously updated and the experience is continuously optimized.

4. Interaction method: comprehensive upgrade of touch, voice, and network

Traditional car screens mainly rely on buttons or knobs for control, which is inconvenient to operate and cannot be voice controlled, which easily distracts driving attention.

The in-vehicle display all-in-one provides high-definition capacitive touch screen, voice recognition interaction, multi-touch operation, and even supports AI voice assistant and gesture control. Users can complete most operations through natural language, significantly improving driving safety and convenience.

5. Application scenarios: Service boundaries continue to expand

Traditional in-vehicle screens are limited to "in-car audio and video entertainment", while the all-in-one machine, with the help of the Internet of Vehicles function, has opened up multiple scenarios such as navigation, entertainment, safety, remote services, and vehicle control, and can even realize remote monitoring of vehicle status, vehicle positioning, remote unlocking, fault diagnosis and other intelligent services.

Conclusion

The birth of the in-vehicle display all-in-one machine represents the transformation of automotive electronics from "information display" to "smart interconnection". Compared with traditional in-vehicle display screens, it is not only more powerful and more interactive, but also a key component of intelligent driving, Internet of Vehicles, and intelligent cockpit systems. For consumers who pursue driving experience and a sense of technology, the all-in-one machine is undoubtedly the first choice in the new era.
