An AI enabled Smart TV ? Here is my Wish-List
Context :

“Samsung sees TVs not as one-directional devices for passive consumption but as interactive, intelligent partners that adapt to your needs,” said SW Yong, President and Head of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung Vision AI, we’re reimagining what screens can do, connecting entertainment, personalization and lifestyle solutions into one seamless experience to simplify your life.”
With the ability to make your Samsung TV aware of its surroundings, adaptive to user preferences and autonomous in delivering intuitive features, Samsung Vision AI transforms screens into smart companions that enhance entertainment, simplify interactions and seamlessly integrate into connected lifestyles.
At the core of Samsung Vision AI are its personalized features, which redefine how users interact with their screens.
· Click to Search offers instant information about what’s on screen — whether identifying an actor or exploring displayed content — all without disrupting the viewing experience.
· Live Translate, powered by on-device AI translation model, eliminates language barriers with real-time subtitle translations, allowing viewers to enjoy global content seamlessly.
· Generative Wallpaper transforms screens into dynamic, personalized art canvases, allowing users to make images that perfectly match their taste or occasion.
Dear SW Yong :
Congratulations on this innovations . I have no doubt , such path-breaking TVs will be welcomed by a huge number of TV viewers – including myself
I assume this is just a beginning and you must have planned further improvements
I have no doubt you must have conducted some sort of a “ Market Survey “ ( re : what customers want ) before writing down the specifications. Even then , allow me to list below what are my “ Needs – User Preferences – Personalization Features “ – which , I think millions of TV viewers would endorse ( some of these, may require you to come up with an innovative REMOTE CONTROL or for TV to accept SPOKEN commands – in multiple languages ) :
( A ) Subtitle Translation
Whereas this is a definite step forward , it is a “ half-way house “. Consider full “ Speech-to-Speech “ translation of the dialogue into multiple languages . Surely , this technology is already available.
( B ) Volume Controls
Most TV shows are terrible when it comes to catching the dialogues since the loud background music score drowns the dialogues. I want to control the volume of the background music ( or even turn it off altogether )
( C ) Advertisements
These are a “ Pain in the Neck “ . I want to be able to choose “ Advt OFF mode “ , eliminating all Advts.
Now , this may not work since the TV channels run on their ADVT revenue. In this case , on the remote provide a button which would allow me to switch-off the SOUND of advts , or vastly reduce it.
Please also consider possibility of my being able to RATE an advt ( on a scale of 1 to 10 / “ hate “ to “ love “ ). This would enable your AI to generate “ Personalized Play Lists “ and provide very valuable FEEDBACK to the advertisers
Another option >
No separate / stand-alone advts what-so-ever. All product or service advts to become “ Virtually Placed / Embedded “ into the video / show ( as just announced by American company REMBRAND )
( D ) News
Currently , news-related photos / videos keep repeating dozens of times during the announcement of a news item by the Anchor / Reporter. This is very boring – to say the least . Please enable your AI powered TV to FREEZE that image / video , till the announcement gets over. Simply no repetition
( E ) Sleep Detection
If , while watching TV , I doze off , your TV should be able to detect it and shut off after 10 minutes
( F ) Favourite Channels
Currently , the remote enables me to create a list of my favourite TV channels. This manual method must be replaced by your AI TV , learning about my “ interests / tastes “ from my “ watch history “ , and , make up such a list on its own . This should be a dynamic process and not frozen on some past watch-history
( G ) Suggestions
Your AI TV should have “ ability “ to make intelligent “ guesses “ about my interests / likes / dislikes , and be in a position to suggest to me , foreign TV channels that it “ thinks “ I might like.
( H ) Health Monitoring
Now some screen-based devices are available for monitoring my health by just looking at the screen. I just heard about ( 1 ) FACEHEART CARDIO MIRROR ( 2 ) WITHINGS OMNI
I urge you to incorporate these health monitoring features into your TV. If any abnormality is detected, TV should send out messages to personal physician or a nearby hospital and video-call to family members
( I ) Video Conferencing
Since Smart AI powered TVs are internet connected , the set top box should work as a CPU / GPU
While conducting VC meets , TV should have built-in features like “ KRISP “ and “ SWAPCARD “ for automatic language translation and generating note / minutes of the meeting
