Independent research shows that India will have almost 840 million total internet users and 2.2 billion networked devices by 2022. The Internet of things (IoT) refers to all these devices, i.e. smartphones, electronics like TVs, vehicles, smart sensors, etc. that are connected to each other and the internet.
Given the rapid pace of development in the technological space, data, storage, internet, and sensors are becoming simultaneously cheaper and better. It is evident if one notices the recent product line ups of Samsung, Haier, and LG LED TV, where the prices have gone down, and more features have been added.
As such, the way we use appliances like smart TVs is also changing at a rapid pace.
Use of Smart TV in IoT
Smart TVs are an exciting topic of discussion since this class of devices’ growth potential is massive. If one notices the recent development in hardware and software sectors, future applicability of such devices becomes evident.
Storage
In the IoT environment, there are many devices like sensors with limited storage capacities. As such, an appliance within the environment like an LG LED TV can act as the storage hub, collecting and sharing information from the said sensors.
Some modern-day smart TV platforms can already be used as a media server. Essentially, this opens the avenues for a seamless transition from one display to another while streaming content in a home.
Point of interaction
Smart TVs can also serve as a means of interacting with the IoT infrastructure. Essentially, this means that users can use an integrated interaction device, e.g. remote or voice input to control the Samsung LED. When and if on the same network as other IoT devices, the same remote could be used to manage the entire IoT platform.
Visualisation
Smart TV platforms are now capable of acting as a visualisation device. This means that televisions can be used as a display device for content from other sources. Examples include the latest-generation Samsung LED TVs, which can be used to share content (mobile mirroring) from local devices like smartphones and laptops.
Data source & processing
Finally, if sensors are built into appliances like Samsung and LG LED TVs, it could essentially be used as a data collection source. This information could then be processed into more usable forms, like to perform external computations and request the status of other sensors on the network.
To stay ahead of the curve, a good idea will be to grab a smart TV with maximum available features, irrespective of its price tag. A Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card helps make such big-ticket purchases by allowing the buyer to convert the final MRP into easy to pay monthly instalments.
Bajaj Finserv also extends customised pre-approved offers to expedite the credit application process. Such offers can also be availed on finance products like credit cards and personal loans. You can check your pre-approved offer using a few essential details like name and contact details.
Features of a smart platform like Samsung, MI, and LG LED TV may differ among vendors, but the fact remains that IoT is evolving and will keep changing the way we live and work. From smart cities to transportation and agriculture, the importance of IoTs will only keep growing in the contemporary lifestyle.
