Kohler debuts several new smart home innovations for the kitchen and bathroom spaces at CES 2021.

As millions of people around the world spend more time at home, they yearn for balance and seek an escape from the stresses and anxieties of everyday life. The potential for technology to create more moments of wellbeing, and making it easier to unwind, destress, and find peace, is a driving force behind’s Kohler’s continued investment and product development in smart home technology.

"As we grow our leadership in smart home innovation, our products make it possible for consumers to easily enjoy the advantages of touchless and connected experiences, without adding clutter or complexity to their spaces," said David Kohler, President and CEO of Kohler Co. "We believe there is a delicate balance when it comes to technology in the home – and will continue pioneering opportunities for seamless control in the bathroom and kitchen with an eye toward gracious living and wellbeing." 

Kohler showcases new additions to its smart home portfolio during the virtual CES 2021 including:

Stillness Bath: This experiential bath draws its inspiration from Japanese forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Water, light, fog and aromas converge to create an immersive journey of the senses designed to relax the mind, soothe the body, and renew the spirit. Transforming the bathroom into a spa-like environment for quiet mindfulness, the Stillness Bath offers a sanctuary for self-care and wellbeing. It starts with water filling from the bottom of the bath, overflowing into the Hinoki wood mote to create a soothing sound. Full spectrum lighting surrounds the bath, setting the mood, and creating a chromatherapy experience. Fog then envelopes the surface of the Stillness Bath, immersing the bather in a feeling of deep relaxation. Finally, essential oils can be added into the bath’s experience tower which softly emits invigorating aromas to stimulate the senses and promote focus.

Innate Intelligent Toilet: Innate is the newest addition to Kohler’s portfolio of intelligent products. The Innate includes all the comfort, convenience, and cleanliness features that people expect from Kohler’s broad offering of intelligent toilets at a more affordable price. Innate includes a heated seat, auto open and close, intuitive remote, and personal bidet functionality. Further, as many homeowners look for more DIY projects, Innate features Kohler’s easy, ready-lock installation.

Touchless Residential Bathroom Faucet: The touchless bathroom faucet offers hands-free activation for washing hands, brushing teeth, and other daily tasks. Having the ability to wash hands at the end of the bathroom routine without touching the handles of the faucet decreases the potential spread of bacteria and germs in the space. Kohler launches an integrated faucet with embedded sensors as well as a remote puck that allows for a retrofit solution add-on to any KOHLER single control bathroom faucet.

Kohler and Phyn Partnership: Kohler will launch two co-branded products with Phyn in 2021 – the KOHLER Whole Home Water Monitor Powered by Phyn – a DIY unit and a Pro version with an automatic shut off. These products represent a continued evolution of the company’s focus on water safety and peace of mind. Both products leverage Phyn’s patented, best-in-class, high-definition pressure wave analysis to monitor water flow to immediately notify a homeowner if a leak is detected anywhere in the home and to provide detailed insights into how each fixture uses water. The DIY version mounts under a single sink and can be easy installed by a homeowner. The Pro variation is installed at a water main, either inside or outside the home, and can mitigate costly damage through an automatic water shutoff feature.

Always focused on improving upon its solutions to benefit the consumer, Kohler has expanded several smart home technologies that incorporate new features:

  • The brand’s collection of KOHLER Konnect voice-activated and touchless kitchen faucets now offers a "wash hand" command that walks consumers through the recommended steps for proper handwashing, activating the water for wetting and rinsing, along with audible guides for lathering and cleaning.
  • Kohler Power is launching a first-to-market voice feature that allows homeowners to access and activate functions of their standby generators through simple voice commands. Individuals can easily check on their KOHLER generator through smart devices whenever and wherever they are. Having this easy access ensures a home is running at its best and provides peace of mind when homeowners are away.

Kohler will continue to share new product innovations and industry leadership with the launch of its first-ever two-day digital event, Kohler@Home, February 2 and February 3. Additional event information and registration can be accessed at Kohler.com/AtHome.

Infineon takes lead in MEMS microphone market, launches new technologies for further improved acoustical performance and power consumption

Leave a comment

MUNICH, Jan. 8, 2021 — According to research consultancy Omdia*1, Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has successfully positioned itself as the market leader for MEMS microphones. Based on MEMS chip unit sales, the market share was reported to have been catapulted to a staggering 43.5 percent. This positions Infineon at with a lead of almost 4 percent over second place and more than 37 percent over third place. This positive development is due also to Infineon’s long-term experience in MEMS microphone design and high volume manufacturing for delivering an unmatched consumer experience.

Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphone IM73A135A features a 73 dB SNR and a high acoustic overload point (135 dB SPL) for a very high dynamic range microphone with a small footprint of 4 x 3 x 1.2 mm3 with the industry’s lowest power consumption of 170 microampere.
Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphone IM73A135A features a 73 dB SNR and a high acoustic overload point (135 dB SPL) for a very high dynamic range microphone with a small footprint of 4 x 3 x 1.2 mm3 with the industry’s lowest power consumption of 170 microampere.

 

Now Infineon is launching a next-generation analog MEMS microphone that renders even better results – the XENSIV™ MEMS microphone IM73A135. In microphones, designers often have to accept trade-offs: high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a small package, high acoustic overload point, low power consumption, MEMS versus electret condenser microphones (ECM). For this reason, applications that require highest performance microphones may have previously still used ECMs instead of MEMS. The IM73A135 reduces the need to compromise.

A 73 dB SNR and a high acoustic overload point (135 dB SPL) make for a very high dynamic range microphone with a small footprint of 4 x 3 x 1.2 mm3. Infineon’s new MEMS microphone also features tight frequency curve matching for the most effective audio signal processing and the industry’s lowest power consumption of 170 microampere. The IM73A135 thus allows designers to reach a level of high audio performance restricted to ECMs while at the same time reaping the benefits inherent in MEMS technology.

Infineon’s new MEMS microphone offers excellent characteristics to enhance active noise cancellation in headphones, a market that will grow to approximately 250 million devices by 2025 with a CAGR of 16 percent*2. Additionally, the low self-noise makes the IM73A135 especially suited for high-quality audio capturing required in conference systems, cameras, or audio recorders. A market that is also expected to increase significantly.

New digital low power technology for wearables

Infineon is not only expanding its portfolio of branded MEMS microphones but also extending its lead via a new low power digital ASIC technology. This lowest power technology will be used in various next-generation digital microphones manufactured and branded by the "Infineon-inside" microphone partner network. An industry-leading low power mode current consumption of as little as 110 microampere makes it a perfect match for the wearables segment, including smartwatches, fitness bands, etc. The growing demand for aesthetically appealing products with the ability to serve the consumers’ daily needs better will grow this market to reach approximately 650 million units by 2025, at a CAGR of almost 20 percent over a forecast period from 2020 to 2025*3.

Availability

The XENSIV MEMS microphone IM73A135 will be available for the distribution market in March 2021. The new MEMS microphone technology for wearables will be launched by the "Infineon-inside" partners in the next months. More information is available at www.infineon.com/mems, for "Infineon-inside" microphone partner network: www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/sensor/mems-microphones/infineon-inside/.

More HDMI(R) 2.1 Enabled Products Reach The Market Bringing Advanced Consumer Entertainment Features To A Wide Audience

Leave a comment

Ultra High Speed HDMI® Cables Now Available Enabling End-to-End HDMI 2.1 Installations

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 6, 2021 — Over three years after the launch of the HDMI Specification Version 2.1, major products are now widely available that support HDMI 2.1 features including 4K@120Hz, 8K@60Hz, Dynamic HDR and eARC. Instead of asking when HDMI 2.1-enabled products will be available, people are now asking for advice about which new HDMI 2.1-enabled products to buy.


"It’s exciting to see so many new products available with these new features," said Rob Tobias, CEO and president of HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc. (HDMI LA). "And with the launch of the latest gaming consoles, consumers can now enjoy a thrilling HDMI 2.1 end-to-end experience with consoles, AVR’s, cables, TVs and monitors. With shipments of HDMI products reaching almost 10 billion since it launched in 2002, HDMI technology continues to be the universal interface for consumer electronics products."

HDMI 2.1 technology’s enhanced gaming features deliver advanced, unrivaled gaming experiences into the home. These features include Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Quick Frame Transport (QFT); and when combined with new 4K and 8K displays, HDR and eARC immersive audio, HDMI 2.1 brings the best of home entertainment to life. The new Fixed Rate Link (FRL) mode of HDMI 2.1 ensures much more robust video delivery over the cable, by using a robust forward error correction scheme, combined with a link training protocol which adapts the link rate, if needed.

Another year of big accomplishments for the HDMI Forum

"The HDMI Forum didn’t rest after releasing the 2.1 specification and 2020 was one of its busiest years ever," said David Glen of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and President of the HDMI Forum. "We launched the Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable Certification Program (UHS Program) and now these UHS Cables are available in the market to enable full the 48Gbps performance of HDMI 2.1. We also released the Compliance Test Specification for Active Cables, and end-users will shortly be able to purchase Active Optical Cables that support longer length installations, an important step in completing the HDMI 2.1 ecosystem." Regarding the future he added, "In addition to the great products released in 2020, we’re expecting many new products in 2021 supporting the enhanced features of HDMI 2.1."

The mandatory UHS Program ensures that quality Ultra High Speed HDMI® Cables reach the market and support 4K and 8K video, HDR, VRR, eARC and all other HDMI 2.1 features, and cables are required to affix an Ultra High Speed HDMI Certification Label to each package notifying consumers of the certification status of the product. These Certified cable designs must pass rigorous testing requirements for 48G signal performance and pass new state-of-the-art EMI tests designed to minimize interference with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other radio frequencies.

The HDMI Forum is also promoting HDMI Cable Power. With this feature, active HDMI Cables can now be powered directly from the HDMI Connector, without attaching a separate power cable. This makes attaching and using active HDMI Cables as easy as using passive, wired HDMI Cables.

Shipments of Premium High Speed HDMI Cables grow along with expansion of 4K content distribution

With the explosion of 4K content, this cable is vital to both the consumer and commercial sectors connecting 4K cable, satellite and IPTV set top boxes to TVs. It is specified globally for use by service providers for in-home installations. It also requires packaging to display the Premium HDMI Cable Certification Label for added verification of compliance and to prevent counterfeiting; this cable certification program is also administered by HDMI LA.

HDMI LA Ramps Up International Enforcement of Counterfeit Products

HDMI LA ensures licensed and compliant products reach the market and works with international law enforcement and customs and borders officials to conduct factory raids, product seizures and takedowns of counterfeit product listings on e-commerce and social media. This benefits the licensed HDMI Adopters and authorized resellers and ensures end-users can purchase legitimate products, enabling a seamless plug-and-play experience.

HDMI LA at CES 2021

Wondershare Cares about Consumer Confidence and Builds Deep Connections with Users

Leave a comment

As a global leader in the field of digital creativity, Wondershare has always paid attention to users’ behavior and feedback.

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 31, 2020 — Believing that consumer confidence can drive products to improve, Wondershare highly values every customers’ opinion and has continuously updated product lines based on user experience and feedback, ultimately making a close connection with them.

Wondershare Cares about Consumer Confidence and Builds Deep Connections with Users
Wondershare Cares about Consumer Confidence and Builds Deep Connections with Users

 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, customer experience is transforming fast. Now more than ever, consumers spend more time online and interact with service suppliers 24/7/365. According to research by the American Marketing Association, the conversational marketing platform market will experience stunning growth through 2026.

"As the global environment continues to lean into remote work, the trend pushes every company to transform their digital experiences to address the new customer journey," said Shaan Jahagirdar, Vice President of Wondershare. "The impact between our products and users are a two-way street. No matter the feedback from social media, email, live chat, or other channels, we all listen to and follow up to improve them."

  • Wondershare Follows User Stories and Feedback on Social Media

Key opinion leaders (KOL) have been a popular marketing tool for quite a few years already, but recently a shift from key opinion leader to key opinion consumer (KOC) marketing has become a new trend starting in 2020. Different than KOLs, KOCs are real consumers who decide which product they want to try and review without a huge fan base.

Considering the impact of KOCs, Wondershare was compelled to promote a new marketing attempt in that field, which attracted a lot of users to share their stories about Wondershare products on social media including areas such as daily life, gaming, technology testing, photography, videography, and tutorials.

For example, a 17-year-old boy used Wondershare Filmora to edit "A Day in The Life of a Content Creator" video and published it on his YouTube Channel, which received a lot of praise from other viewers. He replied that these comments greatly encourage him to create more videos through Filmora.

"It’s the most affordable, versatile video editor out there for beginner editors," another user commented for Wondershare Filmora on Twitter. "It isn’t complex for people who want to start making videos and has a friendly user interface."

These online reviews are highly important for other users’ decision-making process. To spread more credible voices and build brand awareness, Wondershare will encourage and support more users to share their own opinions and product reviews with the objective of understanding their feedback on social media.

  • Users Participate in the Improvement of Wondershare Products

On the other hand, Wondershare also concentrated on improving the user experience. This November, Wondershare established a "Wondershare Ambassador" volunteer team in Japan, to help the product to move more in line with the localized market. Those who are interested can apply to participate in either display of software, operation, or new features.

In the first stage, the recruitment team received more than 300 application emails with a lot of attachments such as picture descriptions and video recordings. The feedback contained various aspects from the copyright issues, product use issues, suggestions, and other comments for Wondershare product lines.

So far, there are 40 volunteers who have become ambassadors and keep in touch with the team. The next time the product upgrades, Wondershare can contact them to receive more feedback. Plus, Wondershare will build a deeper cooperation with them, such as helping them become KOCs who can continuously provide optimization suggestions and content regarding products.

Although it has been a tough and challenging year for everyone, there can still be some hope and joy taken from the ordeal. Wondershare cares about product services and user experience. With rapid development, Wondershare will continue to strengthen the tracking of user’s feedback and upgrade products, to blend the humanity of the brand with the creativity of users.
