Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the next generation of its award-winning
Family Hub refrigerator, continuing to innovateand redefine the refrigerator category.Family
Hub continues to set a new standard forconnected living, bringing the family
together in the kitchenwhile freeing users up to focus on what’s important to them.
As
the new generation of homeowners look to technology to define both who they are
and how they want to live their lives, there is no better place to do this than
in a connected kitchen. And with the Family Hub, which offers thesimplified
connectivity they’ve grown accustomed to, families can spend more time focusing
on the things that matter most to them.
In 2019, with the new
Family Board, a communal screen thatfamily members can interact with in a
personalized way, Family Hub helps foster true family connection, food
management, and a connected home experience in today’s fast-paced modern world.
“When
we first launched Family Hub three years ago, it was an app-based experience
anchored in food management, family connections and entertainment,” said John
Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung
Electronics America. “Today we are introducing the latest version of Family Hub
featuring Bixby with AI capabilities. Bixby now provides a new level of
connectivity and intelligence designed to make everyday tasks much easier. When
combined with our new Family Board, the Family Hub is the perfect combination
of convenience and connectivity.”
Intelligence
Bixby
allows for a smarter, hands-free, more personalized way to use the Family Hub.Users
can ask Bixbyfor their Morning Brief while getting breakfast ready for the kids
so they know all of their daily essentials like the weather andtop news.All of
this appears on the Family Hub screen so they can seeas well as hear it. And
through Bixby’s voice ID technology, each family member’s voice is
distinguished, so everyone can get tailored information for their individual
needs. Bixby is even smarter and more conversational – allowing users to interact
more naturally. Imagine, now users can search fora plane ticket through
Expedia, call an Uber and pre-set the oventemperature just by talking to the
Family Hub.
Taking
intelligence astep further, with the Family Hub’s seamless integration of
SmartThings, owners can now see and control hundreds of Samsung and third party
smart home devices right from the refrigerator screen and by voice with Bixby.
Family Connections
The new Family Board screen
acts as a digital bulletin board in which members can easily stick notes and
photos and even doodle right on the screen.Users can now have a devoted screen
to share photos, messages and memories on their fridge, and are able tocustomize
their photos with different photo styles, add handwritten notes and stickers,
and even change the background color to match their kitchen – all bringing the
family closer to elevate the way they connect and share.
The
Family Hub displays a dynamic screen saver that can be used to display precious
family moments, important information such as the weather, or even artwork. It
can also be set to blend withthe décor in the kitchen.
Healthier Food
Management
From
the beginning, food management with Family Hub has been a cornerstone feature elevating
the way homeowners manage their food – whether using “View Inside” to see if they
need eggsfromtheir smartphone while at the store or adding items to their shopping
list and tagging expiration dates. The Family Hub enables a user to create better
and healthier meals with Meal Planner, which customizes recipes based on food
preferences, dietary needs and the items in the fridge.
In 2019,Samsung will expand the Family Hub platform across
more models to ensure that there is a Family Hub configuration that meets the
needs of all consumers.
A
2019 CES Innovation award Honoree in the
Software and Mobile Apps product category, the new Family Hub will be
featured at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from January
8-11, 2019at booth 15006 Central Hall at the LVCC.For more information about
