Yesterday 13:20 413651 view As technology advances, increasing the number of connected devices and the spread of the Internet of things, increase the number of gadgets that can be controlled voice. Connecting to the Internet “smart” TVs understand their masters sitting on the couch in front, just a glance. However, modern technology has learned not only to carry out orders, but also to spy on users.
It turned out that the owners of Samsung Smart TV can hear not only those who are close to him and too” clever “TV. Confirming give account on the official website of the company:
1. You can control your TV SmartTV and use many of its features with voice commands.
2. If you turn on voice recognition, you can control your TV SmartTV with your voice. To operate the voice recognition feature some voice commands (along with information about your device, including identifiers) can be transferred to a third-party service that converts voice into voice or code required for voice recognition. In addition, Samsung may collect, and your device can record voice commands and the texts , so that we can provide you with voice recognition, as well as assess and improve their work. Keep in mind that if you spoken words include personal or confidential information, this information will be among the data recorded and transmitted by a third party with your use of voice recognition.
3. If you do not include voice recognition, you can not use interactive voice recognition, but you can control your TV using some predefined voice commands. Despite the fact that Samsung will not collect your spoken words, it can still collect relevant text information and other data on the use to evaluate and improve the service.
So, Samsung actually spying on its users, and it remains unknown how exactly” third parties “are transmitted voice data and how they are processed. However, this is not the first time – a few years ago TP Vision, which produces TVs Philips, was seen in the surveillance of users, and later the owner of the TV LG noticed that he was being watched. Disable tracking then turned, digging in the device settings.
In the case of Samsung, you can disable shadowing, but it will not be available in full voice recognition, and “smart” TV will be subject only to a limited number of commands. Choose and buy TVs at great prices in our catalog can be.
Mikhail Kuznetsov , an expert on the TV Hi-Tech.Mail.Ru direction: « Televisions Samsung, is likely to use the cloud for some voice functions . This is why the data is transferred from the TV to the remote server, as well as to gather statistics and other official purposes. Naturally, in this array can get something “extra”, and warns about the manufacturer in the above quotation. Intentional espionage – perhaps an exaggeration. It should be noted that these technologies are used and other equipment, including Smart TV other marks. Theoretically, all of which can be subject to cracking with access to audio and video information, even if the screen is off, but the TV is connected to the network and is in “sleep mode”. In my opinion, the problem is somewhat exaggerated, and unauthorized access to “smart” TVs is not yet a common ».
