Training at AMC: Protecting smart home solutions with IP-design
The Future is Now: Embracing Smart Home Solutions
In recent years, technology has transformed the way we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. One of the most notable advancements is the rise of smart home solutions. These innovative technologies have reshaped our homes, making them more efficient, secure, and convenient. From controlling lights with a voice command to monitoring your home’s security from anywhere in the world, smart home solutions are revolutionizing our domestic lives.
Feedback by Dirk Reznik, CEO at AMC International, after the training: „We learned a lot about how digital solutions can be made patentable.”
Smart homes offer a multitude of benefits, starting with increased convenience. With the help of virtual assistants like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant, homeowners can control various devices using just their voice. Imagine asking your home to adjust the thermostat, play your favorite playlist, or even brew your morning coffee, all while you’re still in bed. The possibilities are endless, making daily routines more streamlined and enjoyable.
Energy efficiency is another key advantage of smart home solutions. Smart thermostats can learn your preferences and adapt to your schedule, ensuring that your home is always at the perfect temperature while conserving energy. Smart lighting systems allow you to control the brightness and color of your lights remotely, reducing energy consumption. These innovations not only save you money on your utility bills but also contribute to a greener planet by reducing your carbon footprint.
Home automation extends beyond comfort and security, with entertainment systems being a significant beneficiary. Smart TVs and audio systems can seamlessly integrate with other smart devices. You can control your entire entertainment setup with a single voice command or app, creating an immersive experience. Furthermore, smart home solutions enable you to access a vast library of content, from streaming services to online gaming, right at your fingertips.
As technology evolves, the options for smart home solutions continue to expand. Innovations like smart refrigerators that notify you when you’re running low on groceries, self-regulating irrigation systems for your garden, and even robotic vacuum cleaners that clean your floors autonomously are becoming increasingly common. The possibilities are only limited by our imagination and the pace of technological advancement.
Despite the numerous advantages of smart home solutions, there are challenges to consider. Privacy and security concerns, as well as the potential for device interoperability issues, are areas that require continuous attention and improvement. Ensuring that your smart home is safe from cyber threats and unauthorized access should be a top priority.
In conclusion, smart home solutions have redefined the way we interact with our living spaces. The convenience, energy efficiency, security, and entertainment benefits they offer make them an integral part of modern living. As technology continues to advance, the smart home concept will evolve, offering even more innovative features and improving our quality of life. With the right precautions, embracing these smart solutions can truly make our homes smarter, more efficient, and more enjoyable places to live. How to protect such smart home solutions with IP-design was also the topic of a training by Prof. Alexander Wurzer at AMC on 17.8.2023.
AMC – Smart cooking
The smart AMC cooking system is based on a closed water circuit in pots and pans. Thanks to unique technologies, it offers you optimal temperature and time control for time- and energy-saving cooking, nutritious and healthy enjoyment and, above all, delicious dishes.
The AMC cooking system is not only particularly high-quality and efficient, it also opens up completely new possibilities for you – whether for everyday meals or a gourmet menu for a special occasion. But the AMC cooking system should definitely be one thing for you: Inspiration and the best support for your projects in the kitchen.
In addition to the right cooking system, different ingredients also require the right cooking method. The smart cooking components allow you to be always in control of your cooking.
The Audiotherm acoustic signal transmitter lets you know when something needs to be done by beeping. Together with the Navigenio mobile hotplate, the Audiotherm can even automatically regulate cooking time and temperature, making smart cooking a breeze. The Navigenio can be used not only for cooking and roasting, but even for baking. Turn it upside down, put it on the pot and a pot can be turned into a mini oven.
The Navigenio mobile hotplate can be used for cooking, roasting and even gratinating and baking thanks to the overhead function – indoors and outdoors. The Navigenio can be wirelessly connected to the Audiotherm to control the entire cooking process. It increases or reduces the energy input depending on the cooking program selected, it switches off automatically at the end of the cooking time and keeps the food warm for up to an hour if desired.
