Samsung Electronics has introduced new powerful tools for its Bixby and SmartThings platforms development suits, as well as new powerful experiences with the One UI (new user interface) and Infinity Flex display. In order to make connected life a reality, Samsung has made it easier for developers to quickly develop, launch and upgrade new solutions for millions of devices in the world.
Building an upgradable platform for artificial intelligence
Bixby started as an intelligent interface, a convenient way for voice interaction with your phone. Now Samsung is developing it into a measurable artificial intelligence platform that supports various products and services in the lives of users. At the SDC 2018 conference, Samsung unveiled new ways for developers to provide a larger number of users with a personal assistant experience that is more natural, personal and more useful.
Provide a connected lifestyle for everyone
Samsung’s vision of a connected life is based on the open ecosystem of the Internet of Things, which includes an increasing number of devices connected to one platform. Available on more than 200 markets around the world, the SmartThings platform provides connectivity experience in a single app, with which IoT leaves the space of the smart home, and enters the car, the office or anywhere else for that matter. In order to make pairing of devices and services on the SmartThings platform faster and easier for developers, the redesigned SmartThings Developer Workspace offers developers a new suite of tools including SmartThings Cloud Connector, SmartThings Device Kit and SmartThings Hub Connector. Developers can now build and run apps on the platform and easily integrate Zigbee and Z-Wave devices.
Additionally, the enhanced SmartThings platform compatibility program, Works With SmartThings (WWST), gives developers direct access to experts and resources for the SmartThings platform. WWST ensures that the devices and services are fully optimized for this platform so that consumers can use it in the best possible way.
