Samsung has been busy with AI part of its smartphone portfolio, with the Korean giant filing trademarks earlier for the supposed ‘Bixby’ logo, while following it up with ‘Samsung Hello’ later on.
Today, Samsung has filed for a new trademark that is dubbed as ‘Bixby Reminder‘ with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) — and it’s got the guts of an AI software that we see in Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri.
Bixby Reminder goes with a Nice class number of 9 and 42, and looking at the details Samsung has submitted it with, it looks quite capable at recognize voice, process voice, organize schedules and remind for them, entertain you with games and quizzes, and even transacting banking transactions.
Moreover, Samsung has touted the Bixby Reminder as SAAS (software as a service), which basically confirms it’s the Samsung AI software we have been talking about for so long now, ever since Samsung got the grip of Viv Labs business.
So, Samsung has both ‘Samsung Hello’ and Bixby Reminder’ in hand, and we may see it launch them both with the upcoming flagship of the company, Galaxy S8, whose bigger variant could come as Galaxy S8 Plus.
