Understanding how devices in the home are getting smarter and more intuitive

CES the annual trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association is a platform that large consumer technology companies make major announcements on advancement of technology in their products. The announcements in the last couple of years have integrated cloud, the Internet of Things, Artificial intelligence demonstrating how devices are getting smarter and companies collaborating to make consumers lives easier.

I want to break down the DeepThinQ 1.0 developed last year with the establishment of LG’s Artificial Intelligence Lab in Korea to accelerate research into AI. The platform enables integration of AI into a wider range of products, allowing LG product developers to apply deep-learning technologies to future products.

Products developed with DeepThinQ have a feature to educate themselves using cloud servers to become smarter over time. The learning feature is at the heart of this technology allowing LG products to understand not only their external environments but also the patterns of their customers. Imagine with me with the changing unpredictable weather patterns in Kenya having an air conditioner that learns the environment and patterns over time cools or warms the room automatically to the preferred temperature by the customers based on previous changes done.

Now the juiciness of this technology comes when LG products in the home with AI in them learning o automatically adjust the music, lighting in the home. I am particularly interested in the Insta view door to door Fridge that is smart enough to send messages to your phone and tell you when you are running low on various groceries. It would be even more convenient if LG collaborated with a local supermarket and I would have my groceries delivered to my home.

I think it, I act it out and the product learns with time that I enjoy a cooler room during the day or possibility of seeing in the future if my air conditioner can get input of the current temperatures and adjust accordingly if warm, moderate or cooler. DeepThinQ is adaptable to your way of living through learning your patterns thus making you focus on other matters as the mundane such as changing the AC or having to think of shopping after a late night is done. You start dozing on your couch and the light dim or the music volume goes down or off when a conversation takes place or your child is playing the piano.

ThinQ will change the way consumers use products as the products provide intelligent services, which is the age we live in. To more collaborations as LG innovates on this advanced platform and key is to roll out these products worldwide as internet connectivity continues to increase year on year with smarter communities. The next generation is in for a treat with smarter technologies.
