Get ready for your smart home. Interest in home automation, security and monitoring, and lifestyle IoT technologies is growing rapidly. According to BI Intelligence research, “the number of smart home devices shipped will grow from 83 million in 2015 to 193 million in 2020. This includes all smart appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.), smart home safety and security systems (sensors, monitors, cameras, and alarm systems), and smart home energy equipment, like smart thermostats and smart lighting. How do you manage and control your smart home and all of these devices? The smart approach to interacting with and controlling smart technology is to turn the human hand and fingers into a dynamic touchscreen display. Wearing a standalone smartphone eliminates the need to carry a phone or access a laptop because the person becomes the console and controller. When a human hand becomes the display, touch screen, gesture interface and command center for smart technology, life is simplified. Advanced biometrics enable people to effortlessly lock and unlock doors, or remotely access their home, vehicles and all of their networked appliances. People can live stream media content and video games with voice, gesture, touch screen and projection interfaces. In their Connected Home Forecast, research firm NPD Connected Intelligence claimed that by the end of 2019, 238 million installed devices are expected to be connected to the Internet and able to deliver apps to TVs, representing 59 percent growth from 2015 to 2019. The Internet of Things is set to change how we live, work and play.

  The smartphone market is still in its infancy, and yet with each passing year, new and more powerful mobile devices are released that outshine previous generations. In fact, smartphone technology has progressed to the point where it rivals the desktop and portable devices with enough memory and computer power to support complex work applications. Simultaneously, smart wearable technology is emerging at lightning speed. The Fitbit launched just over 2 years ago in May 2013. In March 2015, market research firm GfK reported 17.6 million smartwatches and health and fitness trackers (HFT) bought worldwide in 2014, and that number continues to grow exponentially. [1] But, it is impractical to wear single- and dual-use devices such as health and fitness monitors and “smart watches” that are dependent on the user carrying a handheld smartphone for most functionality to even work -- including networking, applications, and interfacing. The future is wearable smartphones. It free users entirely from handheld phones, watches, and scores of wrist-based monitors. Companies like ours are designing new wearable products and technologies that will replace handheld phones and Internet-connected devices as the primary wireless communications. OEMs will be able to drive the future of the mobile industry with new 3D interface, display, and biometric identification systems and capture more of the market. For the incumbent smartphone OEM looking to create breakout products in a rapidly commoditizing market, there is opportunity in licensing products and technologies that can be incorporated into generations of mobile devices.
