																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is the world’s largest consumer electronics event that sets the scene every January for what the upcoming trends are for the global electronics industry. Each year, the tech world pays particular attention to CES’ keynote addresses, which not only signify the opening of the event, but also present the direction of future products, services and technologies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since 2002, Samsung Electronics has been sharing its philosophy and vision for the year ahead – and beyond – through a total of 6 keynote addresses at CES. At CES 2022, the first CES event to be held offline in two years due to the pandemic, Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman and CEO at Samsung Electronics, is set to walk onto the stage and present his keynote address under the headline ‘Together for Tomorrow’ to present the direction for technological development going forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ahead of Han’s keynote at CES 2022, Samsung Newsroom has compiled the key topics and technological trends presented at Samsung’s CES keynote addresses between 2011 and 2020 to provide an insight into the evolution of the phrase ‘future technology’ what really means.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>1. 2011: Human Digitalism</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5373" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2011_EN.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2011_EN.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2011_EN-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2011_EN-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The main topic at Samsung’s 2011 CES keynote was the convergence of digital technology and human beings. Humanism, a philosophy that originated in the culture and arts fields, had recently reached the technology industry and become the latest trend. Illustrating this development, Samsung’s keynote that year centered on the concept of human digitalism, and throughout the address, the company advocated for the “reinterpretation of technology”, an idea that sees the values that human beings fundamentally pursue combined with advanced technologies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BK Yoon, back then President and Head of Samsung’s Visual Display Business, outlined four guiding principles to underly human digitalism. These are: interacting with the world in an easy and convenient manner anytime, anywhere; creating products that blend naturally and seamlessly into consumers’ lifestyles; providing enjoyment through new discoveries; and pursuing corporate social responsibility that prioritizes the environment and pursuing a better tomorrow. The company also outlined its plan to apply this vision of human digitalism to all its technologies and products in order to bring about a new digital paradigm shift.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>2.</strong><strong> 2013: Mobilizing Possibility</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5367" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2013_EN.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2013_EN.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2013_EN-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2013_EN-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2013, it was the very center of all electronic products – their components – that was gaining attention. Accordingly, in their CES keynote address, Samsung introduced its processor – the brain of their mobile devices – its energy-efficient memory solutions – which help reduce electricity usage – and YOUM, its next-generation flexible display line-up.</p>
<p>The keynote speech, delivered by Dr. Stephen Woo, back then President of System LSI Business of Device Solutions Division of Samsung Electronics, highlighted how society and consumers’ lives are set to benefit from the innovations generated when such advanced component technologies go beyond their boundaries and unite with various technological fields.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

BK Yoon, back then President and Head of CE division, emphasized the importance of open platforms in order to achieve a true realization of this vision, and accordingly introduced the SmartThings platform, a hub for all kinds of smart devices and services.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>4.</strong><strong> 2016: IoT, In Sync With Real Life</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5369" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2016_EN.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2016_EN.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2016_EN-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2016_EN-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-shows-that-the-internet-of-things-is-now-in-sync-with-real-life">In their 2016 keynote address</a></span>, Samsung introduced stories of how IoT had become part of daily life to the audience. Samsung began the keynote by introducing the three key elements of IoT: performance, user environment and security. Dr. WP Hong, back then President of Samsung SDS and the Head of its Solution Business, introduced their innovative technologies, such as the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator which is a perfect example of IoT playing a role in the home environment. Samsung also affirmed its commitment to providing infinite value to its consumers by expanding its platform openness through cross-industry collaboration going forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>5.</strong><strong> 2020: Age of Experiences</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5370" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2020_EN.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2020_EN.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2020_EN-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/CES_Keynote_2020_EN-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>

									<description><![CDATA[Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. today announced, at the Samsung Developer Conference 2019 (SDC19) in San Jose, California, U.S., new ways its platforms will]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Samsung Electronics Canada Inc.</strong> today announced, at the Samsung Developer Conference 2019 (SDC19) in San Jose, California, U.S., new ways its platforms will enable developers to introduce simpler, more powerful experiences to consumers around the world. Samsung shared its vision for the next era of mobile and connected living, offering inspiration to developers, enterprise leaders, and consumers through innovative experiences with the devices they use every day.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“We are fortunate to work with the world’s best developers and designers. Together, we have built an extensive and secure ecosystem of devices and services,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT &amp; Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “We continue to make progress toward our vision to be the innovator of new mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously wherever we go.”<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Creating Opportunities for Developers through Open, Scalable AI and IoT Platforms</span></h3>
<p>To help consumers discover new ways <strong>Bixby</strong> can work with them to get things done more quickly and easily, Samsung launched Bixby Marketplace earlier this year in the U.S. and Korea, creating a way for developers to introduce their Bixby capsules to millions of Bixby users in those countries. In the past six months, the size of the Bixby developer community has doubled. And starting in 2020, the Bixby Marketplace will expand gradually, enabling developers to offer their services across more Samsung devices.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
To make it easier for developers to create new experiences on its AI platform and ensure consumers have more intuitive experience, Samsung announced enhanced capabilities in the<strong> Bixby Developer Studio </strong>at SDC19.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>New <strong>Bixby Templates</strong> makes it easy for developers to create capsules using pre-existing forms so that they don’t have to start from scratch.</li>
<li>Enhanced <strong>Bixby Views</strong> enable developers to build capsules with a consistent design even beyond smartphones—to televisions, tablets, smart watches and refrigerators.</li>
<li>Developers can now register their capsules under <strong>Natural Language Categories</strong>. When users ask Bixby for help related to a category—such as radio, news, or navigation—Bixby suggests a capsule that can help them get what they need more quickly and easily, even without having to call out exact name of the capsule.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
More consumers now are seeing how seamlessly connected devices and services can make everyday life easier. Developers can scale their device and service offerings through Samsung’s IoT platform, <strong>SmartThings</strong>. Already, developers and partners have brought connected experiences to more than 45 million monthly active users globally and thousands of compatible devices, and the platform is expected to grow further with the <strong>Work as a SmartThings Hub (WASH) program</strong>, which allows partners like network operators to embed SmartThings Hub software into their devices.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
To help developers build on and integrate existing devices with the SmartThings platform, Samsung announced new capabilities for developers:<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The new <strong>Rules API</strong> brings to life more automated smart home experiences to reflect individual daily routines across a broad range of SmartThings devices.</li>
<li>Samsung is launching the <strong>SmartThings Device SDK Beta program</strong> in early 2020 to enable more third-party manufacturers to create SmartThings-compatible devices.</li>
</ul>
<p>Samsung continues to invite developers to actively participate in its ecosystem and supports the developer community with several incentive programs—including the <a href="https://program.developer.samsung.com/best-of-galaxy-store/"><strong>Best of Galaxy Store Award</strong></a><strong>, </strong>the <a href="https://www.dezeen.com/samsung/"><strong>Samsung Mobile Design Competition</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="http://www.bixbydevjam.com"><strong>Bixby DevJam</strong></a> and the <a href="https://security.samsungmobile.com/rewardsProgram.smsb"><strong>Samsung Mobile Security Reward program</strong></a>.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Inspiring Developers with New Experiences Across Devices</span></h3>
<p>Samsung continues to refine the mobile experience to allow users to <strong>focus on what matters</strong> most to them. <strong>One UI 2</strong> includes new features that de-clutter the user interface—making it easier for people to interact naturally while also making it easier on their eyes. And now, to make both the developer and the user experiences consistent across devices, Samsung is expanding the use of One UI 2 beyond smartphones to tablets, wearables and new form factors, including foldable category.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
With the launch of Galaxy Fold, Samsung designed a first-of-its kind mobile experience that is much more than a foldable device. Samsung, alongside hundreds of developers and partners, created an entire foldable ecosystem that continues to grow and opens up new possibilities to the mobile experience. As promised at SDC2018, Samsung will continue to explore a range of <strong>new form factors in the foldable category</strong>. And at SDC19, Samsung invited developers and users alike to join the exploration of exciting new use cases and user experiences.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
To deliver the best possible TV viewing experience, Samsung is also investing in 8K technologies. With <strong>AI ScaleNet</strong>, Samsung has made it possible to stream high-quality 8K videos on networks with lower bandwidth capabilities. Samsung has also announced new tools that make it easier for developers to bring new experiences across the nearly 100 million Smart TVs that are powered by <strong>Tizen</strong>.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wits</strong> automatically uploads a code edit to the TV, so developers can see their update almost immediately, significantly trimming development time.</li>
<li><strong>EasyST</strong> makes testing content playback easier because developers don’t need to build their own test app to make sure their content is streaming as intended.</li>
<li><strong>TIF</strong><strong>A (Tizen Identifier for Advertising)</strong> gives consumers the option to limit ad tracking or opt-out of targeted advertising</li>
<li>Samsung is making <strong>Tizen TV OS </strong>available to third-party TV makers for the first time.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">End-to-End Security Built in Every Solution and Experience</span></h3>
<p>Emerging technologies, such as IoT, AI and 5G, are bringing new capabilities and opportunities to the developer landscape. For Samsung, it means providing the community with the tools and programs necessary to deliver more secure and more reliable solutions.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Secure Development Lifecycle</strong> delivers systematic reviews at every phase of the development, supply chain, and manufacturing process. To give both developers and users peace of mind, Samsung offers the <strong>Knox SDK</strong>, allowing partners and app developers to integrate advanced security solutions into their apps and services. In addition, Samsung has been working with German government agencies, especially BSI, and industry partners on developing a <strong>mobile-enabled eID</strong> for digital services to support customers and governments by developing a solid foundation for trusted identity services.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Samsung invites developers and partners on its journey to bring new and increasingly secure experiences to life.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Mississauga, ON – January 9, 2018 –</strong><span> </span>Samsung Electronics Canada today at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) outlined its vision and strategy for intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>During today’s press conference, Samsung demonstrated its unique ability to deliver simplified, seamless connected consumer experiences across Samsung devices at home, at the office and on-the-go. Samsung has been working to make all Samsung products IoT ready by 2020. In addition, the company announced today its plan to advance IoT adoption via an open, consistent and intelligent platform.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;At Samsung, we believe IoT should be as easy as flipping a switch. With the new products and services announced today, we’re making IoT easy and seamless,” said Hyunsuk (HS) Kim, President, Head of Samsung’s Consumer Electronics Division and Samsung Research. “We’re committed to accelerating IoT adoption for everyone and making all Samsung connected devices intelligent by 2020. These advancements will help consumers realize the benefits of a seamless and simple connected life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Intelligence of Things for Everyone</span></h3>
<p>The Samsung IoT philosophy is built on the concept of open innovation, making it accessible to more people and when infused with intelligence, enabling consumers to personalize their experience. Today’s fragmented and complex IoT ecosystem is a barrier to adoption. For IoT to be approachable and accessible, it requires scale and open innovation.

<p>In spring 2018, Samsung will unite its IoT applications, including Samsung Connect, Smart Home, Smart View and more into the SmartThings app to connect and control any SmartThings-enabled device directly from their phone, TV, or car from a single application. Additionally, Samsung announced plans to connect HARMAN Ignite to the SmartThings Cloud, moving the IoT experience beyond the smart home to the car.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An integral part of Samsung’s vision is to connect devices and make them intelligent. With Bixby, Samsung is bringing its personalized intelligence service to more devices. In 2018, select Samsung Smart TVs and new Family Hub refrigerators will have voice control via Bixby to simplify everyday tasks. With devices and services working together and infused with intelligence, in-home activities become easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because increased connectivity requires improved security, Samsung announced that it has incorporated its trusted Samsung Knox technology into its connected devices, including Smart TVs and Smart Signage, additional mobile products and Smart appliances. Knox technology includes a hardware security system and firmware updates to help ensure devices are protected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Building the Connected Future</span></h3>
<p>Samsung highlighted its ongoing commitment to investing in breakthrough technologies. In 2017, Samsung spent more than $14 billion on R&amp;D. The company also increased investments through Samsung NEXT – a key initiative to accelerate its transformation into an integrated hardware and software company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also created a new AI Center as part of its newly consolidated Samsung Research unit. The AI Center, which includes four labs in Toronto, Montreal, Cambridge (UK) and Russia in 2018, will be coupled with Samsung’s ongoing work in Korea and in Silicon Valley and the company’s M&amp;A activities to drive its AI ambitions forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">Seamless Device Experiences</span></h3>
<p>New products and services announced at CES 2018 highlight exactly how Samsung is making progress to create seamless IoT experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Home:</strong>Starting this year, Samsung Smart TVs will create a connected fabric between devices to provide effortless log-in for users from the moment the TV is unboxed. The new Family Hub refrigerators offer a wide range of smart features like syncing food storage with meal preparation, and keeping family members better connected and organized. Samsung Smart TVs and Family Hub refrigerators featuring Bixby, give Samsung TVs greater access to applications, the ability to easily search movies by genre and actors and display personal photos and provide the Family Hub refrigerators with the ability to recognize individual voices of family members and give personalized information such as news, weather and calendar updates. Samsung Smart TVs and Family Hub refrigerators will also operate on a single connected cloud platform, the SmartThings Cloud, serving as a smart dashboard to monitor and control connected devices.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Office:</strong>Samsung is redefining the concept of the traditional office with flexible solutions that fit the needs of the modern mobile workforce. The 55-inch Samsung Flip interactive digital flip chart simplifies office collaboration by connecting seamlessly with group members’ smartphones and notebooks for faster content and idea sharing. Up to four different participants can introduce content or annotate directly on screen at the same time using either their fingers or an embedded pen.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mobility:</strong>Samsung is helping to lead the transition to 5G networks that will usher in a new set of connected experiences. Samsung is partnering with wireless carriers and broadband providers to conduct the first customer trials of 5G connectivity with up to 100 times faster speeds than the 4G LTE available on phones today. With 5G connectivity, Samsung demonstrated its vision for more comfortable driving experiences. The Samsung Digital Cockpit shows how cars will become seamlessly connected with other ‘things’ as part of IoT. The new dashboard design, along with Bixby, allow drivers to easily control the in-car experience and connected devices at home through voice, touch, gesture and context-based triggers. Passengers can also enjoy ultra-fast streaming movies on the go. The industry-first 5G-capable Telematics Control Unit (TCU) can download and upload data faster and enables vehicle-to-everything communications, laying the groundwork for better autonomous driving.</li>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>CES 2018 – LAS VEGAS, NV – January 8th, 2018</b><span> </span>– Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its new Samsung DRVLINE<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> platform, positioning itself as the go-to partner for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) providers in the autonomous driving market. The DRVLINE<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> platform is an open, modular, and scalable hardware and software-based platform, which is a valuable solution for automakers because it can integrate technology into new vehicles, while also building a foundation for fleets of the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The cars of tomorrow won’t just change how we get around, they’ll transform our streets and society. They’ll bring mobility to people who need it, make our roads safer, and revolutionize our communities,” said Young Sohn, President and Chief Strategy Officer at Samsung Electronics, and Chairman of the Board at HARMAN. “Building an autonomous platform requires close collaboration across industry, as one company cannot deliver on this enormous opportunity alone. The challenge is simply too big and too complex. Through the DRVLINE platform, we’re inviting the best and brightest from the automotive industry to join us, and help shape the future of the car of tomorrow, today.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s announcement, at CES, comes after a year of historic firsts for the company. These include: an $8 billion acquisition of connected technologies company HARMAN and the creation of a joint automotive Strategic Business Unit; the establishment of a $300 million Samsung Automotive Innovation Fund; and a series of investments and partnerships designed to promote collaboration in the automotive sector.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many hardware and software autonomous driving platforms force the end user to adopt particular technology as an all-or-nothing black-box package. The DRVLINE<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> platform however, has been designed so vendors can collaborate and the software can be customized or enhanced and individual components and technologies can be swapped in and out as needed. This also helps ensure the platform is ready for the future – an essential consideration in such a fast-changing industry: OEMs can market the most advanced existing autonomous technology, while incorporating new innovations as they work toward Level 5 automation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The DRVLINE<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> platform incorporates several components and technologies, which leverage Samsung’s global expertise in electronics, IoT, and embedded systems, including in-car compute for Levels 3, 4, and 5 automation. It also includes a brand-new ADAS forward-facing camera system, created by Samsung and HARMAN, which is engineered to meet upcoming New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) standards. These include lane departure warning, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In a car, the human brain is constantly performing incredibly complex calculations while driving,” said John Absmeier, SVP of Autonomous/ADAS Strategic Business Unit at HARMAN and VP of Smart Machines for Samsung Electronics. “How far is that lamppost? Is that pedestrian going to step into the street? How long until the yellow light turns red? The industry has made incredible advances in automation, yet in-car compute is still a long way from approximating the power of our brains. The DRVLINE platform with its open and high-level compute capability is a first major first step toward building an ecosystem to support full autonomy.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung appears at CES alongside several of its partners in ADAS and autonomous driving. As part of its strategy of open innovation and collaboration, the company has engaged a robust ecosystem of partners across the industry, including:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Software: TTTech, AImotive, Hella Aglaia, Renovo Auto</li>
