Torrance , Dec. 21, 2000 -- With all of the new gadgets and fun toys available for vehicles today, only one manufacturer can provide both entertainment value and safety features consumers want. Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten presents the Eclipse Commander: a voice-activated Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) Navigation and voice-control system for the electronic functions of any vehicle. It's more than just fun - it's safe and convenient for drivers and their passengers to use. That's right - passengers too.
With speech recognition technology, the Commander will pick up a command from any person sitting in the vehicle. Developed in conjunction with Pronounced Technologies, the world's premier voice recognition software, the Eclipse Commander recognizes English with any North American dialect. It's speaker independent and requires no training to operate.
That's just the basics - check out its main features:
The Eclipse Commander allows for advanced voice interactive GPS Navigation, voice control of the Eclipse radio/CD player, complete hands-free control of hand-held cellular phones, and voice control of vehicle options such as windows or power trunk release. All designed with the ability to accommodate future advancements.
Who wouldn't enjoy the convenience and ease of not having to stop at a gas station for directions? The Commander can route a driver to the destination with turn-by-turn directions. With the GPS option, there's no need to inform the Commander of a starting point - it knows that too! It can pinpoint the vehicle's precise location, even if the driver is lost! If the driver makes a wrong turn, the Commander immediately informs and asks for the needs of a new route. It allows a driver to avoid freeways and take alternate routes in case of road closures or traffic. The Commander means never having to worry about getting lost again.
A driver could be driving in an unfamiliar area and in need of a gas station or a hospital. Without the Commander, a driver would have to rely on other people, wasting precious time looking for someone who can be trusted to help, at the same time risking a chance of getting wrong directions. The Commander can route a driver to virtually anywhere. It can route a driver to police stations, shopping centers, ATM's, restaurants and many more. How's this for a feature: the driver and passengers can choose from a list of over 30 different types of food…Mexican, Japanese, Persian, Seafood, Italian, etc. and the Commander will then route them to the nearest or if they prefer the second (or third, fourth…) closest restaurant of their choice.
With the safety of its consumers in mind, Eclipse designed the Commander so that the user can communicate with it purely by voice, so there are no visual distractions. "Virtually all navigation systems today require the driver to look at a small display monitor located on the center dash; but not the Commander,' says Bill Heinlein, National Sales Manager for Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten. The Commander's voice-operated navigation system makes it the only completely hands-free navigation product on the market.
How about changing a radio station, switching CDs in the changer, repeating a disc
or turning up the volume…all by voice? All of the audio controls once handled manually will all be done verbally. Options such as rolling up a window, opening the sunroof, or shutting a garage door can also be added. Any electronically operated feature in the vehicle can hook up to the Commander, giving the driver full control, without ever taking a hand away from the wheel.
The Commander can also be connected to a cellular phone for complete hands-free operation. With new laws and regulations arising at both the state and local levels, the Commander's
hands-free cell phone interface will be very useful in avoiding traffic tickets. The Commander accepts verbal input of phone commands such as dial, redial, answer, hang up, store and look up. There will no longer be the need to keep one hand on the phone with the other on the steering wheel and no more looking away from the road to dial.
"The Eclipse Commander lets drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road,' says Bill Heinlein, National Sales Manager of Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten. "All you have to do is drive and the Commander takes care of everything else while you enjoy the superior sound quality of Eclipse car audio.'
The Eclipse Commander is designed for use with a choice of five E-COM AM/FM CD Players (model 55060, 55040, 55430, 54420 and 54410). The complete Commander (including Voice Control and Navigation software) and CD player package starts from $790 MSRP*. Eclipse optional hands-free cell phone adapter, model 9820N, is sold separately at $200 MSRP*.
Eclipse by Fujitsu Ten advances the art of audio systems technology for the aftermarket in-car electronics industry. Across the country, Eclipse products are sold exclusively
through authorized retailers with the training and experience necessary to install and service Eclipse products including the Eclipse Commander, in-dash DVD player, in-dash CD changers, CD tuner/receivers, cassette tuner/receivers, CD changers, power amplifiers and speakers.
