So, looking around really great opportunity that is not enforced? Look no further than the home of high technology.
Yes, I know, all the main computer and consumer electronics companies are investing billions in the market for pumping entertainment content via fat pipes into the house. And no doubt this is still a very large market that will eventually be huge. But it's not what I'm talking about. I believe there is an even bigger, but more mundaneOpportunities for business software, semiconductors and electronics, which largely ignored.
This new approach has been mentioned and discussed theoretically, usually futurist speaker at trade shows and the TV sound for many years. So in this sense is not really new. But something has been done in terms of real investment business and product development, to attack this potentially huge market. So what I'm talking about? Remember several yearsgiggling again around the Internet Toaster?
We call this the market for Internet refrigerator.
What's so compelling about this potential new market segment than the options for home entertainment monster almost all high-tech companies are already hunting? Be ', of course, is the first interesting thing that not everyone still hunting! As I say, very few. The second thing that pops up when you are on this potential market, which should bePayback for customers. This is something that the entertainment area will never be able to say – that is sexy, fun and high profile – but it stretched to a share of the portfolio of consumers already take for purchases discretionary. Third, the technology is already there, all you need. In the recent study on broadband penetration this year, Nielsen / Netratings found that 56% of American homes are connected to the Internet now using a broadband connection. Worldwidealmost two thirds of all broadband Internet connection. The world broadband has arrived and it's time to start using it for something other than just surfing the World Wide Web And finally, this approach should bring substantial benefits to the United States and the world economy by driving some of the costs labor and inefficient tasks in modern Western society. Yes, I said a significant economic benefit. Curious yet? Happy reading!
I proposed that all major systems andThe devices in our homes are high-tech and Internet-enabled with our home network. We see the benefits of this approach with an example for our Internet refrigerator.
The problem
This example is a set of similar experiences I've had many times since reaching adulthood. You are in full time work, working 15-45 minute drive from your home. If you are married, your spouse is probably similar in these busy days. An important devices asYour refrigerator is broken – and of course is out of warranty (which he designed!). You can call the store unit was originally purchased from, or if you're the thrifty type, look around at a lower cost of independent service providers. What happens next? Most frustrating, though my typical experience.
First of all, no one can be on a service call for three days (there is a reason for this – these companies are highly inefficient). They did not evenKnowing what is wrong with your refrigerator, and by the way – the food is starting to rot. Besides waiting for three days, no one will give a real specific "appointment" in those days. They usually give you the dreaded "4 hour appointment window. Oh, and incidentally, there is a minimum of $ 65 just to come to your house. No warranty, no refund, even if you do not solve the problem. But what can do? They swallow food, go for the next three days (at an additional cost to your budget andBelt line) and wait for his appointment.
The day of the appointment and arrive finally head home to your window of 4 hours, with dismay, your boss. Four hours to come and go, and of course no one appears. It's called the service company, and as usual, "I'm late." (This happens because the inefficient service companies that request Have not That need for customer orientation, only very little and use technology to optimize their business processes). Then, waitadditional hours for them to arrive, and then another hour to diagnose the problem. Almost shot an entire day of labor productivity – I hope you're not paid by the hour! But it is even better. After diagnosis of the problem, the mechanic says, "is $ 200 for the part and $ 150 for the labor market. Unfortunately I have not participated in the truck – I'll order it." Great! You are now planning another date with a window of four hours – you get the drill at this point.It 'pretty ugly. In this modern world that are there, make sense. And I think there is.
The solution
What if the refrigerator was instrumented with a microcontroller and low-cost, embedded Web server software and the Ethernet port or Wi-Fi? Now, especially with all broadband households now online, it could be if major changes in this productivity sapping fire drill service.
The first thing you would do in this new scenario is to call your favoriteService provider and explain the problem. After granting access to the refrigerator IP address with the software "Home Network Console on the PC, the service would be a diagnostic software program on your refrigerator. With a little 'fortune could diagnose the problem there and then. Perhaps all it takes a little 'fine-tuning the setting tool that can be done remotely or from you, and only a small service fee two. Although it might be a defective part, the service providerCheck your parts and inventory immediately when the party is exhausted. Only if the part is available, a service truck for a quick installation, would be sent.
Consider those saved technician service time. Or how much gas, stored less trucks on the road and not on the productivity of dissatisfied customers at home waiting to speak again. The service providers become more efficient, so that a better service at lower prices to offer, with lessTechs. Customers would have affected productivity and further its processes. And I think the first manufacturer of this option would offer a huge advantage and the opportunity to quickly acquire market share, increasing its brand as a "cutting edge". This option applies to nearly all homes in the Capital Purchase refrigerators, washing machines and dryers, Home Entertainment, furnaces, air conditioners, ovens, dishwashers, etc.
Some of you may thinkThat sounds great, but it is too futuristic and unrealistic. But as I said, there are all the technologies needed. If you think this idea is really just an extension of computer software in most modern installed, the control problem and allows for remote diagnosis of an IT professional. And the campaign for the acceptance of this concept could shoulder the huge investments by business demand entertainment and communications products / services over broadbandThe pipes that are already underway.
Who and when?
So why this has not happened yet? Because this is ignored, while all you Dukes of home entertainment? It 's hard to say because it really is the proverbial "could be Next Big Thing .. But once again, is not very sexy. And appliance manufacturers are not technology-oriented companies, and not as a result of "innovative technologies or adopt new very quickly. But it will happen, it's just too big. It 's just a matter ofOthers So, what will? Perhaps it is a smaller device, a board must be competitive and agile and more willing to innovate and take risks. Or you could possibly occur when a network / systems management software company looking to grow, decided to expand their core competencies B2B B2C, speaking manufacturers of home appliances market-ready software. Or an integrated software and silicon company that offers the opportunity to expand theirMicrocontroller and embedded Web server from the industrial world to the huge consumer market.
When will it happen? I do not know. I expected to be moving now. But sometimes great ideas catching on slowly. With this, I believe that is only a matter of time. Your company is that you can use?

The first model of vacuum cleaner Henry was very large and made a lot of noise. Obviously this was not a very popular model and will not sell well. James Sprangler made some simple changes, the vacuum cleaning tool that we now know, has changed, as a fan, a pillow and a box forFramework.
