Smart Hospitality Display Introduction

This document introduces the Samsung Smart Hospitality Display devices since Tizen 6.5 and its new platform, Tizen Enterprise Platform.

As the needs of the hospitality display partners have evolved and more businesses begin to use hotel TV, there has been a surge in the variety of display device offerings available to them. Over time, multiple solutions were introduced, but they still did not completely address the core need for lightweight and simple media players.

Samsung wants to advance Tizen’s capabilities into a broader area as a solution for the enterprise business community, especially for the hospitality service business. Samsung continues to improve the business opportunities based on Tizen by providing a diverse range of features that are catered specifically for business uses.

Samsung has developed and produced Smart TVs based on Tizen since 2015. From 2022 onwards, with Tizen 6.5, Samsung provides Smart Hospitality Display devices with the newly adopted Smart TV platform. This platform, known as the Tizen Enterprise Platform, provides additional features and extensions from Tizen for Smart TVs, and simplifies everything such that users just need to establish an internet connection to begin playing digital content from the content server.

Tizen Business Manager Portal

Samsung envisions the Tizen Business Manager Portal to be the starting point for businesses using Tizen Enterprise, providing all the tools for a simple yet powerful experience.

The Tizen Business Manager Portal functions as follows:

• After registering and customizing your account and devices, you can manage multiple devices to maximize your work efficiency.
• You can also monitor and control 24 hours by 7 days via your connected device.
• You can collect valuable data and business insights about the display device usage.

With a single profile, you can efficiently manage multiple devices and become your very own display device specialist.

Install your product and start your business immediately without seeking professional help. The Zero-Touch Configuration feature allows you to accelerate your business. The Tizen Enterprise Platform will continue to support you as you grow your business.

Tizen API and Samsung Product API

Samsung is continuously innovating display solutions for the customer's convenience. An essential part of growing your business is to deliver the right content, that is unique to your business, to your customers. This may require the use of applications and in many cases, functionality beyond what’s typically available on consumer TVs. Samsung provides a set of special features and APIs for your hospitality business application needs by expanding the Tizen API.

Tizen APIs for Business are the driving force behind these innovations. These APIs are required to cater to the custom needs of the unique use-case scenarios, important for the Enterprise customers. Different verticals have different preferences with respect to graphics, resolution, and multi-input sources.

Tizen APIs for Business serves all these requirements. Samsung keeps expanding our own Tizen APIs, Samsung Product APIs beyond Tizen API. You can develop your own solution using the Tizen API and its extended Samsung Product API.
