Mentor Graphics Customers Expand Use of Calibre Pattern Matching to Tackle Toughest IC Verification and Manufacturing Problems
WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
-- Customers and ecosystem partners are expanding use of the Calibre®
Pattern Matching solution to overcome complex integrated circuit (IC)
verification and manufacturing problems.
-- The solution integrates all Calibre tools and flows to drive new
applications in physical verification, design for manufacturability
(DFM), yield enhancement, and failure analysis.
-- In use across a wide range of IC design companies, process technologies,
and foundries, including eSilicon, Samsung Foundry and SMIC. https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160531/373865
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that customers and ecosystem partners are expanding their use of Calibre Pattern Matching solution to overcome previously intractable IC verification and manufacturing problems. The solution is integrated into the Mentor® Calibre nmPlatform solution, creating a synergy that drives these new applications at IC design companies and foundries, across multiple process nodes.
Calibre Pattern Matching technology supplements multi-operational text-based design rules with an automated visual geometry capture and compare process. This visual approach is both very powerful in its ability to capture complex pattern relationships, and to work within mixed tool flows, making it much easier for Mentor customers to create new applications to solve difficult problems. Because it is integrated into the Calibre nmPlatform toolset, the Calibre Pattern Matching functionality can leverage the industry-leading performance and accuracy of all Calibre tools and flows to create new opportunities for design-rule checking (DRC), reliability checking, DFM, yield enhancement, and failure analysis.
"Our customers count on eSilicon's design services, IP, and ecosystem management to help them succeed in delivering market-leading ICs," said Deepak Sabharwal, general manager, IP products & services at eSilicon. "We use Calibre Pattern Matching to create and apply a Calibre-based yield-detractor design kit that helps identify and eliminate design patterns that impact production ramp-up time."
Since its introduction, use models for Calibre Pattern Matching technology have rapidly expanded, solving problems that were previously too complex or time-consuming to be implemented. New use cases include the following:
-- Physical verification of IC designs with curved structures--for analog,
high-power, radio frequency (RF) and microelectromechanical (MEMS)
circuitry--is extremely difficult with products designed to work with
rectilinear design data. Calibre customers are automating that
verification using a combination of Calibre Pattern Matching technology
and other Calibre tools for much greater efficiency and accuracy,
especially when compared to manual techniques.
-- Calibre Pattern Matching technology can be used to quickly locate and
remove design patterns that are known or suspected of being difficult
to manufacture ("yield detractors"). Foundries or design companies
create libraries of yield detractor patterns that are specific to a
process node or a particular design methodology. Samsung Foundry used
this approach in its Closed-Loop DFM solution to help its customers ramp
to volume faster, and reduce process-design variability.
-- Some customers use Calibre Pattern Matching technology with Calibre
Auto-Waivers(TM) functionality to define a specific context for waiving
a DRC violation. This enhancement allows for automatic filtering of
those violations for significant time savings and improved design
quality.
"To help our customers create manufacturing-ready designs, we use Calibre Pattern Matching to create and use a yield detractor database to fix most of the litho hotspots in the block level. Then we perform fast signoff DFM litho checking at the chip level using an integrated solution with Calibre Pattern Matching and Calibre LFD" said Min-Hwa Chi, senior vice president, SMIC. "By offering a solution for manufacturability robustness that is built on the Calibre platform, we are seeing ready customer adoption of SMIC's DFM solution."
With the Calibre Pattern Matching tool, design companies can now optimize their physical verification checking to their unique design styles. The tool is easy to adopt because it doesn't rely on expertise in scripting languages. Instead, any engineer can readily define a visual pattern that captures the designer's expertise in the critical geometries and context for that configuration.
"With the growing adoption of Calibre Pattern Matching technology, Mentor continues to help our customers address increasing design complexity, regardless of the process node they are targeting," said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager of the Design-to-Silicon division at Mentor Graphics. "By incorporating the Calibre Pattern Matching tool, the Calibre platform becomes an even more valuable bridge between design and manufacturing for the ecosystem."
At the 2016 Design Automation Conference, Mentor has a Calibre Pattern Matching presentation on Tuesday, June 7 at 3PM in the Mentor booth #949. Register for the session using the registration form.

-- Samsung Foundry Closed-Loop Design for Manufacturability (DFM) solution
leverages data from design, test and manufacturing to identify and
classify customer product yield limiters.
-- Samsung Foundry has demonstrated more than 10 percent yield gains(*) in
products that employed this innovative continuous learning solution.
-- Closed-Loop DFM solution is built on Mentor® Calibre® and Tessent®
platforms. http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140317/AQ83812LOGO
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that Samsung Foundry's Closed-Loop DFM solution uses production Mentor Calibre and Tessent platforms to accelerate customer yield ramps. A successful yield ramp directly impacts customer product cost and time-to-market. In the Closed-Loop DFM flows, Samsung integrates its comprehensive DFM kits with its testing and manufacturing expertise to identify integrated circuit (IC) design patterns that are most likely to impact manufacturing yield, thereby helping customers improve design quality, yield, and ramp to production. The Samsung solution extracts customer yield-averse design patterns, feeds that information forward to optimize manufacturing and testing, and closes the loop with feedback from silicon results for product design and yield improvement. This solution is not only useful to initial customer designs, but it also allows learnings from current production designs to be applied to next-generation designs from that same customer across entire product families.
"Samsung is committed to helping our customers to ramp up as quickly as possible and get to market faster with their semiconductor designs," said JaeHong Park, senior vice president, Design Services, Samsung Foundry. "Our Closed-Loop DFM solution, which is built on top of Mentor platforms, gives our customers deeper, faster insight into design hotspots, improving quality and yield. Our work has shown more than 10 percent product yield gains in the initial phase of production when compared to the same design without our Closed-Loop DFM system applied."
"This new use model for the Calibre and Tessent platforms is another milestone in our continued partnership with Samsung," said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager of the Design-to-Silicon division at Mentor Graphics. "Our joint customers can use Closed-Loop DFM with production Calibre and Tessent software to deliver leading-edge products faster on all of Samsung's process nodes."
The pre-manufacturing flow in Closed-Loop DFM, called PRISM (Pattern Recognition & Identity Scoring Method), analyzes an IC design by deconstructing it into layout patterns and, using the Calibre Pattern Matching(TM) solution, identifying patterns known to have been yield detractors in the past. Samsung then uses Calibre LFD(TM) software along with other Calibre DFM products to spot previously unknown potential lithography hotspots and analyze their likely impacts on manufacturability. Samsung and the customer jointly make the best use of PRISM results to determine design and/or manufacturing changes needed to ensure that the customer's unique design style achieves target yields and reduces production ramp variability.
After manufacturing, a second Closed-Loop DFM flow called FLARE (Failure anaLysis And yield Rank Estimation with DFM hotspot database) identifies yield-limiting layout patterns based on silicon results. Fail data from wafer test are diagnosed by the Foundry customer and analyzed by Samsung Foundry to identify unique layout patterns that cause yield loss. Samsung and its customers use this information to analyze systematic issues caused by physical design features to improve the ramp-up speed for design re-spins, as well as for new designs using the same IP blocks and or subsystems. Samsung Foundry also uses FLARE data to improve its DFM kits to share silicon findings with customer designers. FLARE uses the Tessent Diagnosis tool for layout-aware diagnosis, the Calibre Pattern Matching solution for generating a hotspot database, and statistical analysis in the Tessent YieldInsight® product to identify the yield limiting layout patterns.
The Closed-Loop DFM flows are in production use today for customers of Samsung Foundry services. While proven in 14 nm technology, the flows can be used for ICs manufactured with other Samsung process nodes.
At the 2016 Design Automation Conference, Mentor and Samsung are co-hosting a lunch seminar entitled "Accelerate Yield Ramps with Samsung Foundry Closed-Loop DFM and Mentor Tools." The event is Monday, June 6, from 12:00 to 1:30 PM. Interested customers can register for the event using this registration link.

Frost & Sullivan Applauds Altia Systems' Unmatched Focus on Product Innovation in the Video Conferencing Camera Market
With no downloads or drivers required, PanaCast 2 buyers can easily add value to their current investments in products and services
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its ongoing analysis of the video conferencing camera market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Altia Systems(®) with the 2016 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation. Altia Systems' PanaCast(®) 2 enables customers that invest in professional-grade video collaboration solutions to deploy high-quality peripherals at affordable prices. PanaCast 2 is compatible with popular on-premises or cloud-based video conferencing services to accelerate the deployment of low-cost Huddle rooms to make video collaboration accessible to everyone.
The PanaCast 2's Panoramic-4K 180 degree-wide field of view enhances the user experience by presenting unobstructed range of vision. Most USB cameras have a narrower field of view, which prevents remote participants from seeing all of the meeting participants at the same time. This causes them to lose context and prevents them from reading body language. There are alternative cameras with active speaker tracking capabilities; however, these are prohibitively expensive and restricted to use with proprietary systems. In contrast, PanaCast 2 is an excellent, flexible option to enhance meeting experiences at scale across varied meeting environments.
PanaCast 2 is a compact, plug-and-play USB 2.0/3.0 connected device for Windows and Mac, requiring no downloads or drivers. It can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, set atop a desktop or table, or installed at optimal height on a conference table or desk. As it does not need IT intervention, PanaCast 2 works out of the box with Skype for Business/Lync, Skype, WebEx, Citrix GoToMeeting, Google Hangouts, Zoom Conferencing, and other popular collaboration platforms. Additionally, Altia Systems extends the PanaCast Experience Service to every meeting participant, enabling them to personalize and control their individual view, while delivering capabilities such as 4.1 megapixel video, zoom, and panoramic view from any PanaCast 2 camera in the meeting.
"The PanaCast 2 has an innovative design that enhances both visual appeal and ease of use," said Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst, Robert Arnold. "In its compact form, Altia Systems has packed three miniaturized cameras and the PanaCast Processor, which simultaneously processes three video streams for real-time dynamic stitching and rendering for a 180 degree-wide, 54 degree-high field of view. This task is performed by nine processors that can process almost 300 million pixels and deliver a 32:9 aspect ratio."
Support for 4K video is a rarity for cameras designed for business video conferencing--it is a technology more commonly found in consumer camcorders and digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR) and expensive professional production quality motion picture video cameras. PanaCast 2's features easily outclass less expensive business-grade video conferencing models and at half the cost of cameras with competitive components and functionality support.
PanaCast 2 allows companies to make the most of the latest capabilities available with advanced visual collaboration systems and services, including features such as:
-- Dynamic, five millisecond, real-time stitching and rendering of three HD
video streams
-- Electronic digital zoom
-- Five user-defined cropping presets and host control
-- Up to 4.1 megapixel output
"Due to PanaCast 2's support for emerging 4K video, buyers will own a future-proof asset," noted Arnold. "PanaCast 2 works with standards-based video conferencing infrastructure and services from leading providers. As a result, customers do not need to make significant capital investments or rip and replace anything."
Altia Systems has demonstrated a deep understanding of customer needs in the video conferencing camera market and developed an innovative product to address those needs. Its PanaCast 2 addresses the core issues of quality, functionality, and reliability and is; therefore, poised for significant success.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment (ROI) it offers customers, which, in turn, improves customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Neuroon Revolutionizes Sleep with New App for Lucid Dreaming!
SAN FRANCISCO and WARSAW, June 1, 2016 /CNW/ -
Neuroon - an intelligent sleep mask that can monitor and analyze users' sleep and enhance its quality -will soon add a new feature for lucid dream induction. This long awaited function combined with a brand new mobile app will change the way we think about our dreams and interact with them.
Have you ever wondered how your life would change if you could go to sleep and control your dreams? This is what lucid dreaming can offer - being aware while being asleep and therefore able to consciously influence the content of your dreams. It seems like a computer game, but then so is science sometimes! The scientific evidence on lucid dreaming came out of Hull University in the UK in 1975, when Dr Keith Hearne recorded the predetermined eye movements of his lucid dreaming patient during the REM phase of sleep. Since then ongoing neuroscience discoveries have strengthened researchers' beliefs that lucid dreaming can no longer be thought of as just a fantasy in a movie script.
Neuroon, a device that is the result of current trends in neuroscience, is the first product on the consumer market that can automatically analyze human sleep by monitoring brain signals and improve sleep with light therapy. Lucid dreams may occur rarely spontaneously or they can be induced by specific techniques divided into two groups: behavioral techniques and external stimuli. The Neuroon's ability to detect REM sleep precisely, allows it to start implementing external stimuli techniques into the mask and induce lucid dreaming while the person is in the REM phase of sleep. Currently, the Neuroon is the most advanced system on the market due to its built-in professional sleep tracker and artificial algorithmic methods for performance improvement.
The Neuroon Lucid Dreaming feature will consist of two parts: behavioral techniques and external stimuli. Both are based on the research conducted by Heidelberg University in Germany and the University of Bern in Switzerland among others. Behavioral techniques aim at preparing the user's mind to start lucid dreaming while external stimuli are a direct influence of the mask on the user's REM sleep with the help of light, vibration and acoustic stimulus. Only with both of these methods can lucid dreaming be fully experienced.
Working on the lucid dreaming feature was first announced by Inteliclinic, inventor of the Neuroon during their Kickstarter campaign two years ago. The idea was given a very positive reception so after finishing the final version of the Neuroon, Inteliclinic's developers focused on this new function.
The Lucid Dreaming App for Neuroon will be available from August and will only work in its full potential with the Neuroon mask. For all the customers who buy the Neuroon before the end of June it will be free of charge.

"The Panic Room: House of Secrets" Update: New Challenges will be Available to High-level Players
NIKITA ONLINE company announces the launch of an update to one of its flagship products -- extremely suspenseful game "The Panic Room: House of Secrets." Now the fans of the project will get new tests from the Puppeteer -- "Poisoned Puppet" and "Radio Tower."
MOSCOW, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The new update is aimed at players who have reached a certain level: the "Poisoned puppet" is starting at level 25, and the "Radio Tower" -- at the 15(th) level. Mechanics of the update are based on the following principles:
-- At some point, a chain of quests runs, which brings the player to the
house plan, where the figure appears on the front porch;
-- Next, the player is invited to choose from creating his own event or
joining friends in existing ones;
-- When the user launches the event or joins an existing event, in front of
him appears a new window with a challenge and an opportunity to use 5
items;
-- Depending on what item the player uses, he either treats ("Poisoned
puppet") or builds ("Radio Tower");
-- Once the players have the needed amount of points or ran out of time --
the battle ends. There starts a calculation of how effective were the
participants, and the reward is distributed among them;
-- With the help of "Poisoned puppet" game fans have an opportunity to
gather collections and win prizes, as well as to learn a new story about
a reporter. "Radio Tower" offers the chance to compete in the
construction of the tower and, depending on the results, get a reward.
"While working on an update to 'The Panic Room,' we wanted to give our players not simply an interactive experience in passing a new location and exploring the new mechanics, but also to immerse them in an interesting storyline that will shed some light on the sophisticated actions of the mysterious Puppeteer, -- CEO of NIKITA ONLINE Stepan Zotov said. -- We hope that the new tests will appeal to the millions of our project's fans around the world."
In late April the game was launched in Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/436160/), where, according to the service's data, about 100 000 000 of active accounts are already registered, and this will allow the "Panic room" to increase its user base. At the moment, the amount of users of the project in different social networks is about 8.8 billion.
INGLEWOOD, Calif., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ElectroPhonic Innovations® is launching their first-of-its-kind electric guitar, on Kickstarter.

The Lithium-Ion powered guitars feature an all analog FET based preamp for tube-like response, coupled to a stereo Class D power amp and dual paper cone guitar speakers. The guitars also feature high-quality delay and modulation effects.
CEO Joe Floyd, himself an accomplished guitar player, said, "This is the guitar that I've been dreaming about for many years. The dynamic sound and sensual feel is truly amazing. I created this guitar for everyone to enjoy."
The guitars are beautifully crafted, with gorgeous contours and finishes. The company's first guitar-- "Model One"-- is being offered in several variations. These guitars are all solid hardwood construction, with the playing feel of a classic electric guitar. The 2016 Kickstarter collection also includes limited edition tribute guitars for military, police, and fire first responders.
The company's debut has been much anticipated, as they've been building a serious social following. They also had a Guitar Giveaway, giving three guitars to lucky fans that signed up.

Innovative Answer to Ad Blocking: Secure Lock-and-Key Technology for Publishers
HAMBURG, Germany, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The ATG Ad Tech Group releases a new solution to prevent revenue losses caused by Ad
Blocking. Offering content in exchange for ad viewing, the users get to choose: access OR
Ad Block.
The Hamburg-based video technology specialists from ATG Ad Tech Group employ the tried
and proven lock-and-key principle to minimize revenue loss for website owners due to
widespread Ad Blocking. The so-called ATG Ad Block Prevention enables publishers and
website owners to lock specific content so it cannot be accessed without prior ad viewing.
The patent-pending technology encrypts locked content and offers users ad viewing as a way
of decryption.
The internet has already surpassed TV and print media. Nowhere else content is created
and distributed at an equal rate. But creation and licensing of content is costly. How can
content creators and website owners make sure their journalistic enterprise has long-term
economic viability. While subscription models and paywalls often run the risk of
alienating the user base, newer alternatives like crowd-funding have a long way to go to
become sustainable. Online advertising has been the reliable source of revenue par
excellence, but is significantly affected by Ad Blocking software becoming a common
phenomenon.
More and more counter measures against Ad Blocking have surfaced. These include
blocking the whole website while Ad Block is activated (like on bild.de) or using third
party services in order to circumvent Ad Blocking, which in turn diminishes the financial
gain for content creators and negatively affects ad metrics. ATG's solution goes about the
problem in a different way: Since only specific content is gated and is accessible without
any financial commitment, users will not be alienated, but made aware of the issue. Also,
to cause the least amount of inconvenience, the content encryption will be lifted
momentarily, as soon as Ad Block is disabled (even without page refresh).
The inventor of the solution and managing director of ATG, Marlon Werkhausen, points
out: "We give publishers back the power over their content and revenue. Since our solution
interacts with the Content- as well as with the Ad-Server, Ad Block software has no chance
to interfere. Giving users the freedom of choice makes this model even fair for them."
The ATG Ad Tech Group is an independent provider of innovative, highly scalable video
advertising solutions. The data-driven monetization and personalization technologies help
advertisers, publishers and marketers to develop new sources of value creation and revenue
streams. The ATG Ad Tech Group specializes in the marketing segments online, mobile,
social media and digital out of home (DooH).

Neuroon Revolutionizes Sleep with New App for Lucid Dreaming!
SAN FRANCISCO and WARSAW, Poland, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Neuroon - an intelligent sleep mask that can monitor and analyze users' sleep and
enhance its quality -Â will soon add a new feature for lucid dream induction. This long
awaited function combined with a brand new mobile app will change the way we think about
our dreams and interact with them.  Â
Have you ever wondered how your life would change if you could go to sleep and control
your dreams? This is what lucid dreaming can offer - being aware while being asleep and
therefore able to consciously influence the content of your dreams. It seems like a
computer game, but then so is science sometimes! The scientific evidence on lucid dreaming
came out of Hull University in the UK in 1975, when Dr Keith Hearne recorded the
predetermined eye movements of his lucid dreaming patient during the REM phase of sleep.
Since then ongoing neuroscience discoveries have strengthened researchers' beliefs that
lucid dreaming can no longer be thought of as just a fantasy in a movie script.
Neuroon, a device that is the result of current trends in neuroscience, is the first
product on the consumer market that can automatically analyze human sleep by monitoring
brain signals and improve sleep with light therapy. Lucid dreams may occur rarely
spontaneously or they can be induced by specific techniques divided into two groups:
behavioral techniques and external stimuli. The Neuroon's ability to detect REM sleep
precisely, allows it to start implementing external stimuli techniques into the mask and
induce lucid dreaming while the person is in the REM phase of sleep. Currently, the
Neuroon is the most advanced system on the market due to its built-in professional sleep
tracker and artificial algorithmic methods for performance improvement.
The Neuroon Lucid Dreaming feature will consist of two parts: behavioral techniques
and external stimuli. Both are based on the research conducted by Heidelberg University in
Germany and the University of Bern in Switzerland among others. Behavioral techniques aim
at preparing the user's mind to start lucid dreaming while external stimuli are a direct
influence of the mask on the user's REM sleep with the help of light, vibration and
acoustic stimulus. Only with both of these methods can lucid dreaming be fully
experienced.
Working on the lucid dreaming feature was first announced by Inteliclinic, inventor of
the Neuroon during their Kickstarter campaign two years ago. The idea was given a very
positive reception so after finishing the final version of the Neuroon, Inteliclinic's
developers focused on this new function.
The Lucid Dreaming App for Neuroon will be available from August and will only work in
its full potential with the Neuroon mask. For all the customers who buy the Neuroon before
the end of June it will be free of charge.

Handheld Adds eTicketing Capabilities to its Versatile ALGIZ RT7 Android Rugged Tablet
LIDKÃPING, Sweden, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Handheld Group [http://www.handheldgroup.com ], a leading manufacturer of rugged
mobile computers, today announced the Algiz RT7 eTicket, a new version of its popular
Algiz RT7 Android tablet that adds a specialized RFID reader so transit workers can use it
for mobile ticketing tasks.
The Algiz RT7 eTicket offers the optimum combination of advanced functionality,
lightning-fast transaction speed, light weight, reliability and ruggedness for mobile
transit environments. The contactless electronic link between card and reader provides a
fast interface to handle a high volume of transactions.
The integrated Arcontia smart card reader makes the Algiz RT7 eTicket a fast and
dependable tool for contactless payment collection. This powerful reader, compatible with
the entire MIFARE family, supports ISO/IEC and ISO14443 type A/B RFID tags/cards, and has
two integrated Secure Access Modules (SAM) for secure transactions.
This latest product continues Handheld Group's commitment to revolutionizing mobile fare
collection. Starting with the M3 eTicket and Nautiz eTicket series, the company has
developed increasingly feature-rich and powerful devices that retain Handheld's rugged
reliability.
"Major transit agencies around the world have deployed our devices," says Johan Hed,
Handheld director of product management. "They've seen quick return on investment, because
using smart mobile devices streamlines what has traditionally been a slow, labor-intensive
process. Clients have reported completing more tasks, fewer riders evading the ticket
system, and increased fee revenues approaching 20 percent."
Beyond its sophisticated RFID reader, the Algiz RT7 eTicket offers a wealth of other
capabilities. Google GMS certification allows access to the Google Play Store and Google
Maps. Its capacitive touchscreen has multi-touch capability, sunlight readability and
chemically strengthened glass. The Algiz RT7 eTicket includes an 8-megapixel camera and
multiple connectivity options. And it provides dual SIM card slots, an integrated GPS
receiver and a dedicated 2-D barcode imager.
The Algiz RT7 eTicket combines power, ergonomics and ruggedness, with a Qualcomm
quad-core processor and an easy-to-hold design weighing just 660 grams. An IP65 rating
means it's waterproof and fully protected against sand and dust. It also meets stringent
MIL-STD-810G standards against extreme temperatures, drops and vibrations.

A heart-warming story in the movie features an elderly woman living on Tarama Island, a remote island in Okinawa Prefecture, where the penetration rate of smartphones is low.
She missed her grandchildren living in Osaka, located far from Tarama, because she can see them only once a year. SoftBank produced communications devices on an experimental basis that helped her have the virtual experience of using a smartphone to see how her grandchildren were growing. With the help of her son and his wife, the woman can regularly see her grandchildren now, using these devices even though they are far away from each other.
In response to requests from those who say, "We can't use a smartphone and can't see how our grandchildren are growing," SoftBank updated analog tools that elderly people are used to using. "Analog Innovation" allowed the elderly woman on Tarama Island to have the virtual experience of using a smartphone.
