Control LG THINQ Appliances By Smartphone

Jan 4, 2011, 7:35 AM by Philip Berne

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, LG will show off a new series of appliances with its so-called THINQ feature. THINQ will let smartphone and PC users control the appliances remotely. The system will offer diagnoses and information about the appliances, which will include ovens, refrigerators, washers and dryers. Users will be able to monitor the contents and temperature of their refrigerator, manage wash cycles in the washer, or see alerts when an appliance door is left open accidentally. THINQ appliances will also notify users if service is necessary, and will help technicians troubleshoot problems.

This will allow Owners/ Managers to access and observe daily conduct of their stores as well as monitor the efficiency and operations of their equipment. This type of technology requires a large amount of programming and accuracy. New technologies such as WiMAX and LTE are perfect candidates for handling such data usage.
