LG is a delightfully smart brand. The slogan ‘Life’s Good’ and the futuristic logo are a representation of what the multinational company stands for. Their main pillars are Global, Tomorrow, Energy, Humanity and Technology.
Pioneering in technology through LG’s innovative continuous growth, the corporation is becoming a faster and smarter global brand for the future.
Established on October 1st, 1958, the brand has since led the way into the advanced digital era thanks to the technological expertise acquired by manufacturing home appliances such as radios and TVs.
With that said, the technological growth of the corporation is admirable. Here are 5 technological keywords behind the functioning of LG’s smart and futuristic appliances.
1. Internet of Things
Simply put, the internet of things is an interconnection of computing devices through the internet enabling them to send and receive data thus enhancing the functioning of appliances to users.
LG has embraced the potential of IoT technology and is constantly pushing boundaries with its heightened connectivity. It is heavily investing in the Internet of Things by making everyday objects smart and connected.
This is the feature that enables the LG ThinQ Application on a smartphone to seamlessly connect to all their AI-powered machines such as the Smart TV, Smart Refrigerator, LG Home Chat, Air conditioners, Dishwashers, Laundry washers, Robot vacuums, Smart wine cellars and so many LG smart home appliances.
If you have LG smart devices in your home, this is an eye-opener to discover so much more power that your machine wields.
With ThinQ, you can live a convenient life with everything running automatically. At the click of a button with your phone in hand, you can control all devices remotely and have access to detailed information about your smart devices.
Download the LG ThinQ app on Play Store or Apple Store for free.
2. Remote Access
Remote access is a software that is installed within a device. It allows local users to establish a connection with a remote device or network. It can be installed directly onto a device and accessed over the internet at any time.
With regards to that explanation, in the case of LG products, particularly the Smart TV, the LG Remote Access software allows far away technicians to check the smart appliance and fix any problems.
This saves you so much time in having to go to the LG shop and get your device checked for underlying bugs and issues.
To access the Remote service;
- Turn on the TV and press the setting icon from the remote control
- Go to all settings
- Click on Customer support then Quick help
- Select the LG Remote service
- Agree to the terms and give the authorization code to the agent.
For this feature to work, the Smart device trying to access the Remote Access feature must be connected to the internet. LG Smart TVs not only deliver a theater-like experience at home, but with the technology built into every television made, they help streamline your space and your life.
3. Wi-Fi
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a facility that allows computers, smartphones, or other devices to connect to the internet and communicate with one another by exchanging data transmitted via radio waves.
Arguably, Wi-Fi might just be the best thing that has graced the digital era.
LG devices using the ThinQ feature have all been connected by the radio waves that are constituted in the Wi-Fi. This is beneficial as it allows one device to communicate with other devices.
For example, an LG Smart device such as a Laundry washer connects to your phone through its Wi-Fi network. To do this, download the ThinQ App and register the device you are trying to connect to.
Follow the simple prompts on your smartphone and the Machine will broadcast its network to your phone. Input the password, which will be the digit at the end of the device’s product name, twice.
With that done you can now multitask by carrying out the laundry duties, controlling the washing machine on your smartphone, while you carry out other tasks.
The same applies to the other LG Smart home appliances.
4. Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is the theory of development of computer systems able to perform tasks that would usually require human intelligence such as speech recognition and decision making. Normally AI would sound like science fiction, however it’s real and is manifested within all Smart LG appliances.
For years, LG has been enhancing its AI strategy to make life easier for customers. Glad to say that they have been successful in doing so. AI ThinQ is the artificial intelligence embedded within all LG products.
Hold up, don’t get lost! Smart ThinQ is what connects LG smart home appliances and the LG AI ThinQ, well, think of it as your personal assistant living with you in the house. The AI ThinQ uses your voice to control the smart appliance.
The reasoning behind the incorporation of AI on LG products was so that the devices could learn the behavioral patterns of their users and improve their performance based on the data. This is in line with the company’s vision; Innovation for a Better Life’.
LG Robot Vacuum Cleaner uses AI. LG’s Hub Bot uses AI to control other smart appliances since it has both AI ThinQ and Smart ThinQ.
5. Machine Learning
Machine Learning is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that works on the concept that a computer program can learn and adapt to new data without human intervention.
LG has constantly been developing algorithms to help provide innovative solutions. Machine Learning is a progressive aspect that is always impelled to keep the AI Smart device up-to-date by learning.
LG AI ThinQ allows for voice and visual innovations that enable products to recognize images, language, and space, changing the way users interact with everyday appliances.
The devices are smart enough to take care of themselves as they live each day by learning something new.
