Abstract :
I have lived through an epic technological revolution, the digitization of analog products. As a part of that, Panasonic helped to build the digital networking world by developing a semiconductor-based integrated platform, the UniPhier. The twenty-first century will become the ubiquitous + eco-friendly era, in which we will seek drastic energy savings in both products and networks. In the future, we aim to assimilate all of our individual energy-saving technologies into an eco-friendly architecture on the CE platform, and to develop appliances and systems that optimize energy usage in the home. Our concept is an autonomous, coexisting, controllable, decentralized system that incorporates an autonomous optimizing model and embeds an energy management OS. By expanding this system from the home to the social infrastructure, we aim to get closer to realizing a society whose energy usage is optimized for the ecology.
