Smart Homes

Mi Yung Kim and his 10-month-old son Jae Won moved to their new apartment in Seoul. Looking outside, the building is just as common as any other building, but this is a special building designed with 'dream' functions.

Control panel of indoor devices

There is a control panel on the wall that clearly shows the plan of the apartment, all that Mi Yung needs to do is . press the button, then everything will be cleverly managed by the system. First of all, air quality is always kept at the best level for health thanks to the cleaning mode.

Data and energy are transmitted by cleverly installed cables to ensure the aesthetics of the house. Each device in the home is compatible with HomeNet system, one of the systems that are competing fiercely on the Korean market. Appliances can be installed depending on the type of service they choose. The panel will act as a 'butler', monitor electricity consumption, pay bills, and record all messages sent via the Internet or from neighbors.

Going home from work, the landlord can watch the TV show with interest, the TV is connected to the system that will notify when the clothes are finished washing. And suppose that the parents in the countryside suddenly visited when the landlord was away, there was no need to leave the running job, just use the remote control function to open the door for them.

Behind the 'smart home' project is the giant electronics group LG. The group said, starting from 2008, it will build about 30,000 such houses each year.

Unsatisfied, engineers continue to think of higher ideas and test applications into model houses.

Accordingly, there is no need for a wall-mounted control panel, just a tiny personal computer worn on the wrist will help with everything, like turning on and off the device, opening the door, locating the owner. . all are voice activated.

The refrigerator automatically lists items inside to make suggestions with appropriate cooking methods and will alert if the food is out of date.

The key lies in the labels attached to the packaging, containing all food related information. Refrigerators can 'read' this information whenever food passes by the door.

In the bedroom, the wardrobe will advise the appropriate style of clothing, based on the work schedule and the weather, traffic is constantly updated through the system. When the owner leaves the house, the house automatically 'sleeps' to save energy.

With the rapid development of today's technology, these 'surreal' ideas will soon be present in our own homes.
