Embedded intelligence is characterized as the ability of a product, process or service to reflect on its own operational performance, usage load, or environment to enhance the product performance and lifetime, to increase quality or to ensure customer satisfaction. This self-reflection, facilitated by information collected by embedded sensors, processed locally or communicated remotely for processing, must be considered from the earliest design stage. Embedded intelligence depends, by its very nature, on a multidisciplinary approach for successful implementation. == Delivering smarter products, systems or services to industry == Embedded intelligence aims at delivering smarter products, systems or services to industry through their integration and purposeful use for a given application. This integration can be realised by: * Construction whereby integrated assemblies show an irreversible and intimate fusion of technologies, as for example in semiconductor integrated circuits and “More than Moore”〔'More Than Moore' White Paper by the IRC, International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors: http://www.itrs.net/Links/2010ITRS/IRC-ITRS-MtM-v2%203.pdf〕 systems that build directly upon semiconductor devices. * Combination of functions whereby products are allowed to exploit multiple capabilities for improvements in use. An example would be the touch screen that combines actuation with indication. * Connection whereby the propagation of information from one product sub-element, system product or service to another is carried by wires, radio, photonic or other communication media such as sound or chemical signatures. Embedded intelligence can serve many purposes: * The monitoring of the health and usage of products and high-value assets. Such an application is described in detail later. * The ease of use of a product, system or service. * The market appeal and acceptance where a product becomes fashionable, an example of which would be the tablet which regained popularity by the addition of enhanced services, ergonomic design in terms of shape and functionality, and enhanced aesthetics. * The ability for a service, system or product to be used by ageing, disabled or previously socially excluded people. 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「Embedded intelligence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
