Home AI Edge Technology: Bridging the Computational Gap

Samsung’s Tizen is an operating system developed by Samsung Electronics, designed for various devices like smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs, and other smart appliances. It’s worth noting that Tizen is an open-source, Linux-based platform introduced in 2012, succeeding Samsung’s earlier operating system, Bada.

Tizen already plays a crucial role in Samsung’s smart ecosystem, powering products like Smart TVs, smart monitors, and Family Hub refrigerators.

Samsung‘s ambition is to expand its footprint in the smart home market. However, one of the challenges they face is integrating AI into smaller appliances, which may have computational limitations.

To tackle this challenge, Samsung has introduced Home AI Edge technology, aimed at overcoming these computational constraints. This innovative approach allows less powerful household appliances to request AI services from devices equipped with more robust computational resources, such as stronger CPUs and NPUs. This solution effectively addresses the computational limitations issue.

This approach ensures efficient task execution and resource allocation without the need for every appliance to have powerful hardware. It signifies a new era where household devices can communicate and collaborate, enhancing performance while keeping the focus on design and affordability.
