Solution Capabilities

Yoga Smart Home is an intelligent system that learns a family’s behavior and adapts itself to their preferences. If they like to have a night-light on all the time, it will stay on. If they are worried about their electric bill, the system will ensure electricity is not being wasted. The system is also proactive when it has to be. It activates home security when the last person leaves and notifies the appropriate people automatically. The following describes other system capabilities.

1. Service Activation: After a customer buys the HCU, there are two possibilities for service activation: • After the customer signs an agreement with a telecom operator, service is activated by the operator’s billing, which uses the Yoga Smart Home to activate service. • The customer goes to a smart home web portal (URL provided to customer while purchasing devices) to activate the service, which is charged by a third party billing system (e.g., PayPal*).

My Comments: If this doesn't sound like NUNCHI, then I will eat my bag hat....lol what say you FRED? Is Intel infringing on our tech?... if so, its time for the CHIP MAKER to pay up and pay up big time. THIS COULD BE HUGE.
