Samsung’s latest announcement is to bring AI upgrades to its smart home appliances, the most eye-catching of which is the new AI wallpaper generation function for smart refrigerators. This feature will give users a highly personalized refrigerator display experience and enhance the smart home control capabilities of Bixby voice assistant. This upgrade covers AI wallpaper generation, Bixby voice assistant upgrade, and exclusive functions for specific models of home appliances, aiming to bring users a more convenient and smarter home life. The following is a detailed explanation of this upgrade.
Recently, Samsung announced that it will bring a new round of AI functions to its smart home appliances, the most eye-catching of which is that the smart refrigerator will support AI-generated wallpapers. This feature will be available for Samsung Family Hub refrigerators released in the United States and South Korea after 2022.
Users only need to select a theme, choose from any of seven categories, and then choose from six art styles to generate a personalized wallpaper. The generated wallpaper can be placed on the refrigerator display, used on a whiteboard, or saved to a photo album for recall at any time. However, this feature requires a Wi-Fi connection, and you can only create up to five wallpapers per day.
In addition, Samsung has also upgraded its Bixby voice assistant to enhance smart home control capabilities. The new Bixby can understand more complex commands and remember previous conversations so users can interact with home appliances more naturally. For example, a user can ask the washing machine what time dinner is, and then ask the washing machine to complete the laundry task before then. Samsung even provides an example where users can ask Bixby for a fault code on their refrigerator, or why it's making a clicking sound.
However, this Bixby upgrade is not applicable to all Samsung home appliances. Only specific models launched in 2024 can enjoy this new feature, including models such as Bespoke4-Door Refrigerator, Bespoke AI Laundry Combo and AI WindFree Gallery Freestanding Air Conditioner. . With the launch of these new features, Samsung's smart home appliances will become even smarter, making users' lives more convenient and personalized.
Highlight:
AI-generated wallpapers: Samsung smart refrigerators will launch AI-generated wallpapers, allowing users to customize styles and themes.
Bixby upgrade: The new Bixby assistant will be able to understand complex commands and remember the user’s previous conversations.
Limited applicable models: Only specific Samsung home appliances released in 2024 can enjoy Bixby’s upgrade service.
All in all, Samsung's upgrade aims to improve user experience and make smart home appliances closer to users' lives through AI empowerment, but the scope of application of some functions still needs attention. In the future, I believe Samsung will continue to optimize its smart home appliances and bring more surprises to users.
