Samsung Development Personal assistant platform Sami enhanced wearable application

Tencent Science and technology Tom November 12 compiled according to the British Guardian news that the former Apple Siri engineer Luke Julia (Luc Julia) has moved to the former club's largest rival Samsung, as the Latter innovation Laboratory (Innovation Lab) vice president of the post, and is mainly responsible for "Samsung multi-platform interactive Infrastructure" (Samsung architecture for multimodal Interactions, hereinafter referred to as Sami) project. The Sami project aims to create a digital platform that aggregates data from various internet-connected devices and is available to other devices. It is learnt that the platform will be able to access the built-in data flow including wearable computing equipment, smart home appliances, automobiles and other related electronic products after molding. Also, the data obtained can be invoked by the Voice attendant service similar to Siri. In fact, at a Samsung developer conference in Menlo, Calif., last week, Julia had already shown how Sami could collect data through Fitbit Health tracker and the networked weight-meter. Sami then generated a comprehensive report of the user's activities based on the data. It should be noted that similar functions are not possible in the past because of the independence of the devices. At the conference site, Julia also threw a standard question similar to Siri on the service: "Sami,how am I doing?" (SAMI, how did I do?) ）”。 Later, the application replied that "You have completed the current daily campaign plan." "As part of the company's ability to strengthen software development, Samsung hopes the Sami project will be able to fully connect the original stand-alone devices, especially those that are likely to be hot in the market." Samsung has already tested with some 50 manufacturers on Sami's service capabilities, including Fitbit and Pebble, a well-known wearable equipment manufacturer. In addition, another source said that the project in the next three years has locked 100 million of dollars in development funds.
