Samsung executive talks about IoT strategy
Mavis Hong, Taipei; Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES [Thursday 28 November 2013]
Samsung Electronics has developed SAMI (Samsung Architecture for Multimodal Interactions), a system central to Samsung's Internet of Things (IoT) strategy, according Luc Julia, vice president, Open Innovation Center at Samsung.
Julia was previously a software engineer at Apple in charge of developing Siri.
From a software perspective, IoT "is all about sensing and collecting the data - and then transporting it. Once it's there, it's about massaging it and sending back to the user," Julia said.
Julia described SAMI as a "real-time pipeline" for working with unstructured data from connected devices. SAMI will be a platform that aggregates sensor data from all types of IoT devices in the cloud and performs deep analytics, according to Julia.
For example, electrocardiogram (ECG) data can be delivered to SAMI for real-time analysis and decision making, and then be sent to users' terminal devices such as Android phones or smartwatches.
There are already 48 companies working with Samsung's SAMI, including a number of emerging wearable gadget companies such as Fitbit, Pebble, Withings, Vital Connect and Basis Science, Julia revealed. The platform will initially be available for Samsung's partners, but ultimately move towards an open ecosystem, Julia said.
Julia also noted that as a consumer company, Samsung with its IoT strategy is "looking at wellness and not for medical today."
