      Simplifying Complex Driving With Intuitive Navigation Guidance

      SEOUL, Nov. 6, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) has been awarded the prestigious “King Sejong Award” at the 2024 Technology Patent Awards for its pioneering augmented reality (AR) technology designed for vehicles. This annual event, organized by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, recognizes patents registered within the past decade that contribute to enhancing South Korea’s industrial competitiveness.
      The patent for LG’s advanced vehicle AR technology was submitted both domestically and internationally in 2022. This innovative system aims to improve the future mobility experience by leveraging AR to visualize various driving scenarios. It generates 3D graphics that provide vehicle information and navigation guidance on in-vehicle displays.
      Driving can often be confusing, especially on complex roads or unfamiliar routes, where estimating distances or directions becomes challenging. LG’s in-vehicle AR technology alleviates this confusion by providing clear guidance lines that drivers can easily follow. The system employs sophisticated algorithms to integrate data from various vehicle sensors, including smart cameras, navigation systems and driver assistance sensors, along with external data sources. By harnessing information from GPS, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, the system can predict potential hazards and accident risks based on the vehicle’s location and surrounding environment, thereby enhancing safety during journeys.
      A key feature of LG’s patented technology is its ability to display dynamic AR images. This capability makes route guidance more intuitive by adjusting the symbols representing the vehicle and directional guidance – such as combining a spade and chevron into an arrow shape or separating them – based on real-time driving conditions. The AR graphics can seamlessly separate, transform and merge, allowing the system to visually convey complex driving information, such as speed, incline, lane changes and route recalculations, in a manner that can be easily understood by the driver.
      LG plans to leverage this advanced vehicle AR technology to develop future mobility solutions for global automakers and accelerate the development of new mobility software. The company also aims to generate royalty-based revenue from the patent.
      “LG is excited to utilize its award-winning AR technology to create mobility solutions that elevate driver convenience and contribute to safer roads for everyone,” said Kim Dong-wook, head of the B2B Advanced Technology Center at LG Electronics. “Moving forward, we will continue to refine our AR technology to ensure compatibility across all vehicle platforms. We anticipate that this exciting innovation will significantly contribute to the growth of our software business.”

      In alignment with its Better Life for All initiatives, LG is fostering sustainable growth in local communities around the world through the “LG Ambassador Challenge 2024,” which ran from February to October this year. Now in its 8th year, this initiative empowers local residents by bringing their ideas to life, recognizing that those who live in these challenging environments understand their needs best and how to address them with support.

      The primary goal is to help locals achieve sustainable self-reliance by suggesting practical improvements tailored to their unique challenges, such as inadequate social facilities or poor educational standards. To assist them, LG collaborates on problem-solving projects designed to enhance their social and cultural living conditions.
      To date, LG has implemented 76 successful projects in South Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sri Lanka, significantly improving the quality of life for thousands of often-overlooked citizens around the globe.

      This year’s program, held in Kenya, Peru, Bangladesh and the Philippines, successfully implemented 10 out of 377 submitted project proposals, evaluated based on their social impact and efficiency. In Bangladesh, a project focused on empowering women as a means of alleviating poverty. In the Philippines, a mobile visiting library was created to enhance access to books, providing invaluable knowledge to the community. In Kenya, an initiative was launched to improve IT education in rural areas, including Ntinyika primary school, equipping students with valuable IT skills for future success.

      Notably, the “Atrapanieblas” project held in the Peruvian city of Lima was recognized as this year’s most impactful initiative. It introduced an ingenious solution to combat water scarcity in a coastal desert region characterized by dense fog and low annual rainfall. The project involved installing a fog capture network in the mountainous coastal area, converting fog and overnight water vapor into clean, drinkable water for 85 local households.
      “I was unaware that the fog I wake up to every morning could be harnessed to improve our daily lives. I’m delighted that we had the opportunity to come together, brainstorm ideas that could benefit our community, and see LG bring it to fruition,” said Pomela, a participant from the affected area.
      Meanwhile, LG is supporting other potentially life-changing initiatives, such as the Hope Village project, which aids housing for vulnerable groups, and the LG-KOICA Hope TVET College, which provides free vocational education to low-income youth.

    • Solution For That Pollution
    • By herebedragons69
      I purchased an LG 86" UT8050 4K UHD LED Smart TV (2024) from JBHIFI in Australia. The TV was wall-mounted and set up by a local installer. I discovered that my TV has Chromecast built-in. I tried casting music from Roon, but Chrome immediately crashed and the TV shutdown. I tried again and the audio was distorted. I shut down and tried again and the audio stuttered. I tried Chromecasting with Qobuz and Plex and got the same result on audio playing out to my Yamaha RX-V6A and the TV speakers. I then tried to play audio from the Plex App in the LG WebOS. That played fine, without any distortion.
      Thinking this might have been a result of a hurried setup (the installer did this job "on the run" I reset the TV to factory defaults and set it up again. Everything went smoothly. But the problem with Chromecast persists. First time launching Chromecast the app crashed and the TV shutdown. 2nd try I got distorted audio to the receiver and to the TV speakers. Audio and Video are fine on all other apps. I can see no other faults.
      I've been Googling this and not seeing much info other than a few threads where people are saying that the LG built-in Chromecast feature does not work. I saw that one person returned his TV and the replacement had the same issue with built-in Chromecast. Most discussions on this issue are hijacked by people using a Chromecast streamer or dongle as opposed to the built-in Chromecast. They often talk about turning off this or that specific Chromecast setting, settings that are not accessible with a TV with built in Chromecast
      In the WebOs when I look at connected source devices Chromecast is there with a "Chromecast Settings" option. The settings have only one option and that is opt-in on sending crash data to Google. Apparently, Google is not monitoring the issue very closely.
      I listen to mostly Hi-Res audio. I wonder if the issue is caused by the bitrate of 24-bit Hi Res flac files. I did notice that when I cast audio that was CD quality (16-bit), the distortion did not occur. This is weird though because in the past I have been able to cast 24-bit audio to Chromecast-enabled devices without any problems.
      My TV says my firmware is up to date. I did not see a prompt to install a firmware update during setup. I've set software and app updates to be automatic.
      Appreciate any help or even a "Hey, it's not just you, this is a known issue, I've got this problem too".
