Personal Radio. Aupeo relied on its technology to enable listeners to develop a personalized radio stream either by selecting a genre of music, an existing station with a pre-defined theme, or by typing in the name of an artist. The AUPEO! Personal Radio recommendation system functioned by using an automated classification system that is subsequently verified by members of staff. In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, Aupeo developed an algorithm which allowed the service to quickly identify certain musical qualities, automatically assigning genre classification. These classifications were then reviewed and refined by Aupeo members of staff. Over the years, Aupeo teamed up with several leading manufacturers from the Mobile, PC, Connected TV/STB and Home Entertainment industry such as Loewe,〔 Retrieved 11 Nov 2011.〕 Philips,〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Asus,〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Acer,〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Nokia,〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Onkyo,〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 TechniSat 〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 and Sonos.〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Aupeo's technology rapidly attracted the interest of the automotive industry and thus, in 2010, the company brought the AUPEO! service into Mini vehicles〔 Retrieved 08 Nov 2011.〕 Aupeo quickly expanded its platform availability to several car partners such as BMW,〔https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/pressDetail.html?title=your-personal-dj-on-board-%E2%80%93-with-the-new-aupeo-app-bmw-connecteddrive-and-mini-connected-to-offer&outputChannelId=6&id=T0125124EN&left_menu_item=node__5238〕 Mercedes-Benz,〔http://www.mandmglobal.com/news/16-10-12/mercedes-benz-cars-to-integrate-online-music.aspx〕 Honda,〔http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Honda-Connect-Infotainment-System-Unveiled-in-Paris_a5090.html〕 Toyota,〔http://blog.toyota.co.uk/2014-toyota-yaris-introduces-aupeo-audio-streaming-service〕 Ford,〔http://rainnews.com/aupeo-scores-placement-in-fords-european-sync-rollout/〕 Audi,〔http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Aupeo-Streaming-Service-Debuts-in-Audi-Vehicles_a5095.html〕 Volkswagen〔http://telematicsnews.info/2014/04/14/aupeo-personal-radio-first-audio-app-certified-for-mirrorlink-by-volkswagen_a5144/〕 and Jaguar and Land Rover.〔http://www.interactivejaguar.com/blog.do?id=1028&p=entry〕 In April 2013, the company got acquired by Panasonic Corporation of America and is now focused on providing entertainment and infotainment services in vehicles.〔http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/04/08/panasonic-automotive-acquires-berlin-based-audio-streaming-startup-aupeo/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aupeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
