EYE RECOGNITION TO BRING NEW LEVEL OF ENTERTAINMENT CONVENIENCE TO LG SMARTPHONE

Technology to Debut in Smart Video Feature in Optimus G Pro

Smart Video, a new multimedia UX feature from LG Electronics (LG), will be unveiled for the first time in the Optimus G Pro. Smart Video takes
viewing videos on mobile devices to a whole new level of convenience with eye recognition that eliminates the need to manually control playback during the viewing experience.
Through the implementation of advanced eye recognition technology, Smart Video recognizes the position of the viewer’s eyes and automatically plays or stops the video
without any manual input from the user. When the viewer’s eyes are no longer focused
on the smartphone display, the front camera recognizes this and immediately pauses the
video automatically. Once the user’s gaze returns to the smartphone, the video resumes
playback from the point last viewed.
In addition to the Smart Video feature, Optimus G Pro will also be equipped with the
world’s first Dual Camera function. The Dual Camera feature is an extension of the
Dual Recording feature which debuted on the Optimus G Pro introduced in the Korean
market last month. Dual Camera simultaneously captures photographs using both the
front and back cameras for a picture-in-picture composition. Users can now be a part of
the story, not just observers.
“LG is continuously innovating to offer creative ways to offer a user experience that
adds value to our customers,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “It’s the positive UX that will differentiate
smartphones in 2013 and beyond, not only cutting-edge hardware specs.”Global Web Site www.lg.com

The Smart Video and Dual Camera features will be introduced as a part of the Value
Pack upgrade which will be offered for the Optimus G Pro in the Korean market next
month. These features will also be made available for some LG premium smartphones
in the future.
Other features in the Value Pack upgrade include:
 Magic Remote Pad and Text Keypad via the QRemote function. These new options
for QRemote work specifically with LG Smart TVs to enhance convenience when
using Optimus G Pro as a remote control for LG Smart TVs.
 The Smart LED Lighting outlining the home button of the Optimus G Pro will be
upgraded so users can customize the colors to correspond to their favorite contacts.
The flashing of the LED in different colors will allow users to identify the source of
incoming calls, missed calls, unread messages and emails.
 Video Pause/Resume allows the user to stop and start in record mode for one continuous video file.
 The first Color Emoticons in an Android smartphone for more personalized text
messages.
