In a recent interview, Rob Caruso, director of product management for Google TV, revealed that more practical designs will be added to the Google TV interface, including those linked to smart homes and fitness-related designs.
In fact, Google has joined the smart home linkage design as early as the Android TV operating system, but it seems monotonous compared to the smart home linkage applications of Samsung, Apple, and LG in TV products, especially the TV interface based on the Android operating system. The Xiaomi, which is also highly integrated with its Mijia smart home application content, makes the TV the connection center of the smart home, so Google considers strengthening the application experience of TV products.
However, it is not yet possible to confirm the specific details of the enhancement project that Rob Caruso refers to, but it may make it easier for users to receive smart home-related interactive information through the TV, or use the TV as a giant display control center. As for the scheduled update time, it may be completed within this year.
On the other hand, Rob Caruso also revealed that he will strengthen fitness-related designs on Google TV. This idea seems to be close to Apple and Samsung’s successive launch of subscription-based fitness services, which may mean that Google will also launch similar services for users to subscribe and use, and cooperate with them. Its own health application service allows users to better understand their physical health status.
But at present, Google obviously still needs to solve the current TV products that are still dominated by Android TV. Although it has gradually replaced the operating interface that is close to the Google TV operating system, it is still not the same in nature, and will fully replace the TV products with Google TV as soon as possible.
