CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF STANDARDIZATION
FOR MULTIMEDIA CAR SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 63038, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100:
Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
100/2628/DTR 100/2692/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

– 6 – IEC TR 63038:2016 © IEC 2016
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
This document is initiated by the study session 5 in TC 100/AGS and made by stage 0 project,
PT100-9. The study session 5 was formed to study car related issues of TC 100, the study
session 5 proposed stage 0 project, it was approved and assigned as PT 100-9.
The equipment and systems under the scope of TC 100 are firstly used in residential domains
such as in home, school, office, etc. And now these are used in mobile domains such as in
car, train, airplane, ships and with individuals as movable, carryable or wearable device.
These new domains require different specifications from the conventional residential domains.
PT100-9 focuses on the car domain. As a preliminary, this document provides an example of
the conceptual model of car related issues under the scope of TC 100, and then it details
possible standardization items that are car related.

4 Overview of the car system
The TC 100 system model as described in IEC TR 61998:2015, is basically similar to the
model as used for cars. However, specific attention has been paid to the specificities related
to cars.
One model from the viewpoint of data communication is described in Figure 1. Whether the
application area is car, home or any other kind of domain, this model is applicable. The
system model for cars, as decribed in this document, basically uses this model as audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment, and as infotainment system.

Figure 1 – TC 100 system model for data communication
The communication model between the system and user is described in Figure 2. In this
document the TC 100 model is applied to cars. Typical users are drivers, passengers, and
pedestrians as well as users in other domains.
The communication between TC 100 models is described in Figure 3. This communication is
between the TC 100 model via user and TC 100 model, the TC 100 model via user and the
TC 100 model via use, and the TC 100 model and the TC 100 model.

5 Use case
5.1 General
As one of the TC 100 systems, the car system has a similar use case as the home system.
The difference is that the car system is movable on road and land, and autonomous. The use
case should take the following characteristics of a car into account. A car
• is movable and autonomous, and has a self energy supply,
• has various car working and functional modes of the main AV system depending on the
condition of the car such as drive, cruise, stop, park and refuel or charge,
• has human users as drivers, passengers, pedestrians in and around the car, and remote
users away from the car,
• has users remote form the car such as other human beings and non human influences
such as the TC 100 model over the network.
The working and functional mode of a car is specific to the car system and its main AV system.
Each device has a specific function and specification depending on that mode. Each mode
has its function and specification relating to the condition of the car. The mode will shift to
other modes depending on the use of the car, see Figure 6.
