AIoT-3568SC Smart Terminal Board for Interactive Charging Seat Screens
In the era of highly connected public spaces, passengers expect not only convenience but value-added services while waiting at transportation hubs like airports and high-speed rail stations. To meet these needs, ShiMeta’s partner developed an innovative interactive free charging seat arm-rest screen project, powered by the AIoT-3568SC smart terminal motherboard. This solution combines free power services, dynamic content, and real-time information, creating a new interactive experience and a sustainable commercial model.
Project Background: Meet the Modern Traveler’s Needs
As mobile internet and intelligent terminals become ubiquitous, transportation hubs have been exploring ways to deliver seamless services that go beyond basic functions. Traditional charging stations or seat screens often lack interactivity, real-time updates, and monetization potential. The core requirements for this project included:
Multi-service integration: Support USB charging, touch interactivity, flight/train information queries, entertainment, and localized recommendations in one interface.
High concurrent performance: Stable 24/7 operation in high-traffic public environments with multi-task handling.
Intelligent interaction: Low-latency touch response, automatic wake-on-approach, and refined UI.
Advertising compatibility: Dynamic content updates, remote management, and data tracking.
Why AIoT-3568SC Is the Perfect Hardware Platform
The ShiMeta AIoT-3568SC smart terminal motherboard served as the core computing platform for the interactive arm-rest screen. Its balanced performance, rich connectivity, and industrial robustness perfectly matched the project’s technical demands.
1. Strong Performance with Efficient Power Consumption
Powered by a Rockchip RK3568 quad-core processor with Cortex-A55 cores and a 1 TOPS NPU, the AIoT-3568SC delivers smooth 4K video decoding, responsive UI interactions, and basic AI tasks. Its efficient architecture keeps power consumption low while maintaining reliable long-term performance — ideal for continuous public-space operation.
2. Rich Interfaces and Expansion Capability
The board’s comprehensive I/O options ensure seamless peripheral integration:
Display Support: eDP and dual MIPI outputs for high-resolution screens.
Peripheral Connections: Multiple USB ports, TTL/RS232-capable TTL, IIC, and GPIO interfaces.
Network: Integrated Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support for remote content management.
This connectivity enables integration of charging modules, touch sensors, and remote content updates — all managed efficiently from a central platform.
3. Intelligent Interaction and Stability
The AIoT-3568SC supports infrared proximity detection, enabling automatic screen wake-up when a passenger sits nearby — improving usability and saving power during idle times. Its industrial-grade design and wide operating temperature range ensure consistent, reliable performance even in complex public environments.
Real-World Deployment and Value Creation
The arm-rest charging screens powered by the AIoT-3568SC have been successfully deployed in multiple airports and high-speed rail stations nationwide. The solution delivers value for all stakeholders:
Passengers: Convenient, free mobile charging, real-time travel information, and personalized content.
Operators: Data-driven insights, remote management, and content monetization through dynamic advertising.
Advertisers: Targeted messaging opportunities in high-traffic environments.
By combining free charging services with interactive digital advertising, the project achieves a three-way win for users, advertisers, and operators — boosting engagement, generating revenue, and enhancing passenger experience.
Conclusion
As public spaces continue to integrate intelligent services, the role of smart terminal boards like the AIoT-3568SC becomes increasingly crucial. Its balanced performance, strong expandability, and industrial reliability make it a go-to platform for next-generation public service displays, smart seating systems, and interactive IoT terminals.
