LG ThinQ (pronounced as "think-cue";[1] sometimes known as LG SmartThinQ) is a brand launched by LG Electronics in 2017, featuring products that are equipped with voice control and artificial intelligence technology.[2][3] The brand was originally launched for home appliances and consumer electronics, such as refrigerators and air conditioners.[4][5] In February 2018, LG announced the LG V30S ThinQ,[6] which is the first phone to have the "ThinQ" branding.
History
The branding was first introduced in 2011 in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas as THINQ.[7] The first ThinQ product was a smart refrigerator, with features such as smart savings options, food management system, and different software in the LCD screen on the fridge.[8]
The unified branding was then officially launched as ThinQ at CES 2017 as an artificial intelligence-based brand for all their smart products.[9]
Features
LG ThinQ products use voice control to interact with users, and use sensor data and different features such as product recognition and learning engine technologies to enhance their abilities.[10][11]
Deep ThinQ (or LG ThinQ AI) was introduced as LG's own AI platform.[12] It was reported that it could engage in two-way conversations with users and could educate itself according to users' behaviour patterns and habits.[13]
In 2018, LG ThinQ-branded TVs added support for Google Assistant and Alexa voice commands.[14][15]
As of August 30, 2018, LG's ThinQ products now communicate with each other for tasks such as going to an event or following a recipe. They have sensors for communicating with other ThinQ devices and appliances.[citation needed]
