Today, Taiwanese citizens visiting Japan can use the mobile payment APPs they are accustomed to, such as JKOPay, to scan the QR code of Japan's PayPay to make payments at stores that may or may not accept credit cards, for example, ramen restaurants, takoyaki stands and B&Bs, realizing cross-border cashless payments. What drives the QR code scanning economy behind the scenes is the HIVEX Net, developed by TBCASoft based on blockchain technologies. By introducing the HIVEX Net, TBCASoft created a win-win-win situation for consumers, merchants, and payment service providers. One can't help but wonder what TBCASoft is like.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has changed many aspects of our lives. In particular, the launch of generative AI at the end of 2022 has created a large wave of technological innovation, leveraging text, images, music, videos, programming codes, and other data to create high-quality outputs. Applications include creation of coherent and smooth poems, business proposals with intricate details, even awe-inspiring movie scripts. Generative AI is enhancing creativity in AI technologies and creating more room for growth for startup teams as they seek opportunities for success.
Hospitals and nursing homes are increasingly using technology. For example, various technologies are being introduced in many fields, such as health management using sensing technology, telemedicine and communication support using Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and entertainment provision. These technologies additionally contribute to improving the quality of life (QOL) of people using these facilities and reducing the workload of staff who are working there. Here, we introduce Time of Flight image sensors (ToF sensors) that is already in use in nursing homes.
iCatch Technology is pleased to announce the official approval of PSA (Platform Security Architecture) Certification Level 1 on the Vi57 series SoC. This certification, conducted through collaboration between ARM and a trusted third-party security lab, confirms that the design of the SoC, along with the device and software, complies with IoT threat models. It not only ensures the establishment of robust security measures, but also enhances the overall security strength from chip-level to system-level.
Amid the ongoing evolution of urban transportation, the landscape of in-vehicle products, such as dashcams, GPS vehicle terminals, and in-vehicle entertainment systems, is undergoing a notable transformation. These products are no longer limited to collecting basic driving information, GPS location data, or image capturing alone. The contemporary demand extends to real-time video recording for comprehensive scene reconstruction. Simultaneously, the precise gathering of various vehicle signals is a dependable data source for evaluating driver behavior, monitoring passenger loads, and assessing vehicle operational statuses. This growing emphasis on in-vehicle surveillance underscores its increasing significance in our evolving urban environments.
Committed to driving Taiwan's startup developments, Startup Terrace Kaohsiung AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC) hosted Startup Demo Day on November 8th. The event gathered seven startup teams from Kaohsiung and abroad to showcase their innovative solutions, including advanced AI image recognition, one-stop carbon management and smart factory services, as well as their overseas market expansion achievements. The results of the hackathon challenge, "Stream Your Life," organized by the Kaohsiung City Government, iPASS, KKCompany, LINE Taiwan, FamilyMart and AWS JIC, were also presented at the event. The teams that participated in the challenge demonstrated how public data from the city government, private data from the collaborating companies and cloud computing technologies can be synergized to bring net zero emission innovations to reality.
