Commercial-use Android 10.1-inch tablet "TA2C-CS8"

We will standardly equip our original application "Log Transmission App" in future shipments of the Android tablets "TA2C-NF8" and "TA2C-CS8," enhancing our domestic support services for early resolution of issues. For customers who have already received their shipments, updates can be handled either through AWS by the customers themselves or through our support center. Our original application "Log Transmission App" collects and compresses logs from the tablet by combining it with the preset "Log Collection Mode," and sends them to our server via the internet. This reduces the time taken to respond after an issue occurs. Additionally, for issues dependent on the customer's environment, it may not be possible to reproduce them at our repair center, which allows us to eliminate the hassle for customers who had to reproduce issues while operating in their actual environment.

Our company, a manufacturer of business information terminals, will provide a functional update for the 10.1-inch Android tablet "TA2C-CS8," released in March 2024 for business use, starting in July. This update is designed with the use of the tablet as a hotel room terminal or a bedside terminal in hospitals in mind. We will continue to incorporate features that are frequently requested by our customers into our proprietary OS, significantly enhancing convenience and flexibility. The TA2C-CS8 is equipped with unique features that address customer customization requests, such as a proprietary battery protection mode that prevents battery degradation during constant AC power supply and the ability to resume from a screen-off (LCD OFF) state with a touch. It is widely used in various establishments, including restaurants and hotels. This functional update will include a power LED lamp off function, which was requested by customers using the tablet as a hotel room terminal or bedside terminal in hospitals, as well as an Auto Boot Browser that automatically launches the browser and connects to a specified URL after startup, and the option to hide the Google search bar to give the impression of a generic terminal.

This is the world's first 10.1-inch Android tablet equipped with a FeliCa M-class NFC reader/writer at the center of the screen. In recent years, the opportunities for using NFC have increased, including cashless payments via touch, reading My Number cards, and managing entry and exit. The "TA2C-NF8" has passed the stringent FeliCa M-class certification in the NFC testing, allowing NFC usage on the tablet's large screen without the need for an external card reader. For example, by combining the tabletop ordering system and payment function in restaurants, it significantly streamlines the entire process from ordering to payment using just this device. *1 According to our research. As of April 2, 2024. As a 10.1-inch Android tablet equipped with an NFC reader/writer that has obtained M-class certification for FeliCa reader/writer RF performance testing, with the reader/writer located at the center of the screen. *2 The FeliCa reader/writer RF performance testing is conducted by Sony Corporation to establish common communication performance standards for FeliCa devices, ensuring compatibility between products. The M-class is the recommended class for payment terminals.

We will begin the digitization of manuals (user manuals, warranty cards, etc.) for our tablet products. From March 2024, starting with the Android tablet "TA2C-CS8," we will promote the digitization of manuals for all our products, with the aim of reducing environmental impact, improving customer convenience, and reducing on-site workload. Additionally, since last year, we have also been switching the packaging boxes of some tablet products from white boxes to environmentally friendly brown boxes.
