SDC19: Samsung Advances Experience Innovation, in Collaboration with Partners and Developers<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"Samsung showcases new ways for developers to scale their services across billions of devices through its extensive, secure and connected ecosystem<\/p>\n

Samsung announced, at the Samsung Developer Conference 2019 (SDC19), 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 rely on every day.<\/p>\n

DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics said, \u201cWe are fortunate to work with the world\u2019s best developers and designers. Together, we have built an extensive and secure ecosystem of devices and services. We continue to make progress toward our vision to be the innovator of new mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously wherever we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creating Opportunities for Developers through Open, Scalable AI and IoT Platforms:<\/p>\n

To help consumers discover new ways Bixby can work with them to get things done more quickly and easily, Samsung launched Bixby Marketplace earlier this year, creating a way for developers to introduce their Bixby capsules to millions of Bixby users. 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.<\/p>\n

To make it easier for developers to create new experiences on its AI platform and ensure consumers have a more intuitive experience, Samsung announced enhanced capabilities in the Bixby Developer Studio at SDC19.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New Bixby Templates make it easy for developers to create capsules using pre-existing forms so that they don\u2019t have to start from scratch.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Enhanced Bixby Views enable developers to build capsules with a consistent design even beyond smartphones \u2013 to televisions, tablets, smartwatches and refrigerators.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Developers can now register their capsules under Natural Language Categories. When users ask Bixby for help related to a category<\/p>\n

\u2013 such as radio, news, or navigation \u2013 Bixby suggests a capsule that can help them get what they need more quickly and easily, even without having to call out the exact name of the capsule.<\/p>\n

More consumers than ever are seeing how seamlessly connected devices and services can make everyday life easier. Developers can scale their device and service offerings through Samsung\u2019s IoT platform, SmartThings. Already, developers and partners have brought connected experiences to more than 45 million monthly active users and thousands of compatible devices, and the platform is expected to grow further with the Work as a SmartThings Hub (WASH) program, which allows partners like network operators to embed SmartThings Hub software into their devices.<\/p>\n

To help developers build on and integrate existing devices with the SmartThings platform, Samsung announced new capabilities for developers:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The new Rules API brings to life more automated smart home experiences to reflect individual daily routines across a broad range of SmartThings devices.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Samsung is launching the SmartThings Device SDK Beta program in early 2020 to enable more third-party manufacturers to create SmartThings-compatible devices.<\/p>\n

Samsung continues to invite developers to actively participate in its ecosystem and supports the developer community with several incentive programs\u2014including the Best of Galaxy Store Award, the Samsung Mobile Design Competition, Bixby DevJam and the Samsung Mobile Security Reward program.<\/p>\n

Inspiring Developers with New Experiences Across Devices<\/p>\n

Samsung continued to refine the mobile experience to allow users to focus on what matters most to them. One UI 2 includes new features that declutter the user interface \u2013 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 foldables.<\/p>\n

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 SDC last year, Samsung will continue to explore a range of new form factors in the foldable category. And at SDC19, Samsung invited developers and users alike to join the exploration of exciting new use cases and user experiences.<\/p>\n

To deliver the best possible TV viewing experience, Samsung is also investing in 8K technologies. With AI ScaleNet, 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 Tizen.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wits automatically uploads a code edit to the TV, so developers can see their update almost immediately, significantly trimming development time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 EasyST makes testing content playback much easier because developers don\u2019t need to build their own test app to make sure their content is streaming as intended<\/p>\n

\u2022 TIFA (Tizen Identifier for Advertising) gives consumers the option to limit ad tracking or opt-out of targeted advertising<\/p>\n

\u2022 Samsung is making Tizen TV OS available to third-party TV makers for the first time.<\/p>\n

End-to-End Security Built-in Every Solution and Experience
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 secure and reliable solutions.<\/p>\n

Secure Development Lifecycle 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 Knox SDK, allowing partners and app developers to integrate advanced security solutions to their apps and services. In addition, Samsung has been working with German government agencies, especially BSI, and industry partners on developing a mobile-enabled eID for digital services to support customers and governments by developing a solid foundation for trusted identity services.<\/p>\n

Samsung invites developers and partners on its journey to bring new and secure experiences to life.
