CES ANNOUNCEMENT
Technicolor unveils Qeo, a revolutionary software bridging ecosystems
to
interconnect devices and applications of all brands
Consumer device manufacturers, developers and service providers can now
use a
common "language" to offer a truly interoperable Connected Life
Paris (France), Las Vegas (NV), January 7, 2013 - Technicolor (EURONEXT
PARIS:
TCH), a worldwide technology leader in the media and entertainment sector,
today
announced the release of Qeo, a software framework that allows for
seamless
interoperability between devices and applications of all brands and
ecosystems.
Today, users want to enjoy their favorite applications and services
on all
devices, but the proliferation of disparate ecosystems creates a
complex and
fragmented experience. Qeo software modules address this problem by
making
devices, applications and over-the-top cloud solutions speak to one
another to
deliver simpler and richer smart home, entertainment, communication and
personal
media services. The result is a truly Connected Life - a simple, user-
friendly
experience that allows consumers to effectively manage and utilize the
full
potential of their devices and services.
Michel Rahier, President of Technicolor's Connected Home Division, said:
"During
the last years, we've built a solid understanding of the issues
created by
heterogeneous and closed ecosystems that fragment the user experience.
This is
why we have developed Qeo: a technology that enables devices to speak the
same
language, be interconnected with each other, and create totally new use
cases
for the Connected Life and the 'Internet of things'. We are excited to
have
received strong support from major operators and industry leaders for
this
initiative that we commit to keep pushing forward as the new
standard for
Connected Life".
Qeo benefits both end users and developers, while answering consumer
electronics
manufacturers and service providers' needs:
* For end users:
Want to remotely manage heterogeneous alarm, automation, and video
surveillance
systems via one comprehensive interface? Need your doorbell to
send a
notification to your TV or mobile screen when someone is at the door?
Want to
switch a video call a friend started on your main TV to your tablet? Qeo
makes
such use cases easy to develop and deploy, and enables the potential of
many
more of these innovative digital life scenarios.
* For developers:
With Qeo, creating cross-devices and cross-OS applications has never
been so
easy and straightforward. Developers can build distributed applications
without
having to care about the diversity of languages, OS, or environments.
It's all
about giving free rein to developers' imaginations.
* For services providers:
Qeo comes with tools to monitor and manage all Qeo-enabled devices,
keeping
operational costs under control. It provides views, from global home
networks
down to individual customers, devices or applications, enabling all
sorts of
personalization.
* For consumer electronics manufacturers
Qeo allows more than just content sharing. With Qeo, devices can exchange
usage
data, information, status. in a simple way to provide better and seamless
usage
scenarios for their users. Devices are also immediately recognized
within the
home network and configured with easy set up.
Qeo capabilities will be demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show
on
Technicolor's booth (Central Hall, booth #8531).
