Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 28 (Xinhua)-- LG and Korean AI sleep technology startup Asleep are developing smart appliances that can detect when users fall asleep and adjust accordingly, such as air conditioners that will optimize room temperature accordingly, according to LG Korea website and Korea Economic Daily.

Asleep's AI technology reportedly uses devices with microphones such as smart TVs and smartphones to track four sleep stages based on the user's breathing sound. LG plans to integrate the technology into other products such as televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, air purifiers and washing machines.

Based on the user's sleep information, these devices can turn on or off and optimize settings based on whether the user is asleep or not. For example, LG's Whisen air conditioner can automatically adjust and optimize room temperature according to the user's sleep stage. Other devices, such as LG's air purifier Aero Furniture, can switch to sleep mode if it detects that the user is not awake.

CTOnews.com learned that Asleep will also show off its Sleeptrack API at next month's CES 2023, a technology that measures sleep and sends information to other companies' products. The startup will also work with other companies, such as Amore Pacific, to develop different products such as beauty and health equipment.

LG will also participate in CES 2023 and will showcase other technologies, including new appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, ovens and dishwashers that will omit unnecessary buttons and decorative elements and use simplicity as a selling point. These minimalist devices will be upgradable through software, and users will be able to add new software features through the upgrade center in the LG ThinQ application.

"upgradeability challenges the idea that expensive appliances are designed with phase-out in mind," Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Appliances, said when launching LG's upgradeability program in January. We want customers to experience the feeling of a new washing machine or refrigerator throughout the life cycle of LG appliances, not just when they bring the product home for the first time. "
