Samsung gives clear – TV, listens only to users with desire

Once the Terms of Use have aroused from Samsung TVs fears of spying in the living room, the electronics group is clear.

Users need only click a button on the remote control a search query via voice command enabled. Only then would sound recordings transmitted to third-party, a spokesman said on Monday. Expressly only for this case, the warning was meant in the Terms of Use, that this also any confidential conversations could be transmitted. The generally formulated set in the terms of use allowed the interpretation that the television constantly could transfer recordings from the room. That is not the case, assured the Samsung spokesman.

Another function, when about the volume or channel can be changed via voice control, working principle without an Internet connection. The TV reacts to certain code words like Hi, TV or smart TV. In order to hear from the speech flow, he must listen while permanently. But the speech information would thereby process exclusively in the device itself, said Samsung spokesman.
