Can Your Doorbell Be Spoofed?

By Palash Koutu - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Voice anti-spoofing is a set of techniques designed to prevent scam attempts that involve mimicked voices and improve the overall UI/UX experience of VUI systems by preventing accidental triggers. These techniques are particularly important to prevent issues related to: Speech Synthesis (SS): This type of attack employs a computer-simulated voice Voice Conversion (VC): In this attack,... » read more

Technology of the Connected Home and Building Delivers On Safety, Comfort and Convenience

By Renesas - 05 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Devices for the home and office are increasingly differentiated by their intelligence and connectivity. Products that can sense their environment, detect users and other people, understand behavior, and respond in a way that humans find intuitive, provide higher value in the form of greater comfort, convenience and safety. This new generation of equipment for the smart home and building is made... » read more

Why Matter 1.0 Really Matters

By Ed Sperling - 05 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Incompatibilities of consumer devices inside the home are frustrating for consumers and a security risk. Skip Ashton, distinguished engineer at Infineon, talks about how the Matter 1.0 standard will fuse together different ecosystems from companies such as Apple, Google, and Amazon, how it will be applied to existing devices, what’s included and missing from the standard today, and how it can... » read more

Developers Embrace Standards To Accelerate Growth Opportunities For The IoT

By Paul Williamson - 10 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

By the end of the decade, the potential economic value of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to reach $12.6 trillion (yes, that’s a ‘t,’ not a typo), according to a McKinsey study. To achieve the scale required to meet this opportunity, critical IoT standards are coming together to enable the frictionless deployment of secure endpoint-to-cloud solutions – and being embraced by th... » read more

Comfortable, Safe, And Energy-Efficient Homes And Buildings

By Danie Schneider - 03 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

The market for smart home technology is booming. More and more things are able to make decisions and perform actions on their own – completely without human intervention, as things talk to things. For example, the washing machine communicates with the solar system on the roof and only starts when the sun is shining and there is enough green electricity available. Or the air conditioner automa... » read more

The Set Top Box Is Getting A Retrofit

By Pablo Fraile - 14 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Will processors jumpstart 8K? System-on-chip (SoC) designers and home device makers are experimenting with AI techniques to upscale high-definition or even standard-definition programs in a way that looks natural and realistic. Here’s how it works. Rather than stretching an image over a wider battery of pixels (causing pixelation) or filling in the new pixels by extrapolating informatio... » read more

Why Does “Matter” Matter?

By Skip Ashton - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

There is a good chance that you have come across "Matter" in recent news related to IoT and smart home. Matter was everywhere at CES 2022, and smart home ecosystems all talk about Matter when launching new devices. Matter helps IoT devices like your coffee maker and smart speaker talk to each other easily so that you as the end user don’t need to read complex user manuals or become an IoT con... » read more

Implementing Improved Security And Connectivity For The Smart Home

By Steve Hanna - 16 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The smart home continues to evolve in available functions and complexity as several different connectivity protocols from numerous suppliers target a variety of products for use in smart homes. However, many consumers (71% according to incontrol) acknowledge fear of their personal information being stolen while using smart home products. At the same time, ease of use for user-installed products... » read more

Smart Home Device Communication In The Era Of Hyperconnectivity

By Frank Schirrmeister - 24 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

In our increasingly hyperconnected world, a fascinating area to watch is what I would call "the last 100 feet, give or take." There are many standards like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Thread used for IoT device connectivity. There are very active discussions about how our smart devices should be allowed to talk to other resources, like our neighbor's Wi-Fi. In the IoT's municipal and industria... » read more
