中国製台頭での日本製スマホ、新たな機能は
2015年03月02日 20時43分
スマートフォンやタブレット型端末の国際展示会「モバイル・ワールド・コングレス」が２日、スペインのバルセロナで開幕した。
世界のスマホ・タブレット市場は米アップルと韓国サムスン電子の２強に加え、低価格を売りにする中国メーカーらが台頭し、日本メーカーは苦戦している。日本勢は新たな特徴を持たせた機種を開発し、顧客の獲得に躍起だ。
劣勢に立つ日本勢だが、これまでも高い防水・防じん機能や、中高年層向けに狙いを絞った機種など、高度な技術やアイデアを搭載したスマホは海外でも受け入れられている。こうした経験を踏まえ、特徴を持たせたスマホやタブレット端末を展開し、特定のファンを獲得したい考えだ。
富士通は、利用者が端末を目で見るだけで本人確認ができるスマホの試作機を発表した。利用者の目に端末から赤外線を当て、あらかじめ登録してある目の虹彩をカメラで読み取る。画面に触れなくてもロックを解除できる。虹彩は指紋のように個人で異なるため安全性が高いという。

On the 2nd (March), an
international exhibition of smart phones and tablet terminals: the "Mobile
World Congress" was open in Barcelona of Spain.
In the world
market of smart phone and tablet, on top of the two big suppliers of the US
Apple and the Korean Samsung Electronics, Chinese manufacturers and others
which sold at a low price were rising up and causing a hard time to the Japanese
manufacturers. The Japanese groups were developing models with new features and
were eager to win customers.
The
Japanese groups were in an unfavorable position: up to now smart phones were with
functions of high waterproofing and dust protection, and focusing on the
middle-aged and elderly group; models loaded with high technology and ideas
were also popular in foreign countries. Based on these experience, they would consider
developing smart phones and tablet terminals with special features, and to attract
certain specific fan group.
Fujitsu
released a pilot model of smart phone: its terminal just judged from one’s eye could
confirm whether the user was the owner himself. After the terminal applied an infrared
ray to a user's eye, a camera would read the iris that was registered
previously. Even if one did not touch a screen, the lock could be released. It
was said that safety was high because an individual’s iris was different, just
like a fingerprint.
From a
user’s point of view, keen competition in the market will encourage the
production of better and cheaper mobile phones etc.
