    Report Overview

    Summary
    As consumers increasingly accept the notion of replacing ownership rights with usage rights, coupled with a preference for on-demand consumption, vehicle subscription services emerge as a novel transaction model in the automobile industry. Notable for their flexibility and high degree of autonomy, these services free consumers from the ancillary costs associated with vehicle ownership.

    Beyond third-party platform providers, automakers too are venturing into subscription services. The aims are diverse—expanding new markets, boosting sales volumes, and transitioning to service-based revenue models. Each automaker offers unique subscription packages, covering insurance and maintenance costs. Yet, the terms vary. Still in its developmental stage, the vehicle subscription model promises room for improvements, including improving differentiation from leasing and simplifying added conditions.

    [Selected Topics] Development of Image Signal Processors and Computational Photography and Progress in Overcoming Physical Limitations of Smartphone Cameras

    Today, using smartphones to take photos has become a popular way for people to record and share everyday memories. Camera performance has also become an important factor for consumers when deciding to purchase a new smartphone. However, unlike traditional digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs), smartphones are designed to be lightweight and slim. Therefore, adopting a larger CMOS image sensor (CIS) or a heavier lens assembly to improve photoshoot is not practical. To overcome this physical limitation, advanced image signal processors (ISPs) and innovative computational photography algorithms are used to significantly enhance the imaging quality of smartphone cameras. These solutions can effectively compensate for the shortcoming of not being able to incorporate larger optical components into a smartphone camera.
