Samsung and LG Appliances Linked in I-Park Home App
HDC Hyundai Development Company is enhancing its smart home services to improve residents' convenience. It is applying its proprietary AI (artificial intelligence) voice recognition technology to voice recognition wall pads in newly launched complexes such as Seoul One I-Park. Residents can control home appliances by voice and use facial recognition features to pass through common entrances and even call elevators.

HDC Hyundai Development Company plans to showcase its proprietary AI voice recognition technology at Seoul One. Seoul One is a complex development project around Gwangwoon University Station promoted by HDC Hyundai Development Company. It involves constructing up to 49 floors above ground with 8 buildings, including 3,032 apartment and residence units, street malls, commercial facilities, hotels, offices, and wellness centers on approximately 150,000㎡ of railway facility land in Wolgye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul.
The conversational AI home network system wall pads in Seoul One I-Park apartments and residences will be equipped with AI voice recognition technology. Residents will be able to use conversational AI for complex security and delivery services. Additionally, AI social life services such as community reservation and payment based on residential areas will be available. A senior-focused wellness service featuring 24-hour biometric signal and fall detection monitoring will analyze emergencies in real time and automatically call for help. The AI voice recognition wall pads will be gradually introduced to newly launched complexes as well.
The 'HDC AI Voice Recognition Wall Pad' applies generative AI (Chat-GPT) based voice recognition technology. As a cloud-based proprietary device capable of text analysis, it understands context and enables natural, high-level conversations even for complex questions. It can distinguish speakers and provide home services based on usage patterns, as well as home care services through analysis of spoken keywords.
Realizing a Safe Daily Life with I-Park Smart Home System
HDC Hyundai Development Company has applied technologies considering residents' housing safety from the apartment design stage. Through a facial recognition system-equipped common entrance and CCTV with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), it provides residents with a safe and convenient life.
First, the facial recognition smart one-pass system is a biometric-based smart complex access service that recognizes residents' faces. It automatically calls the common entrance lobby, elevator, and the resident’s floor, enabling contactless access up to the doorstep. At the entrance, the door phone recognizes faces and automatically unlocks the digital door lock. When an external visitor calls, the system supports black box automatic recording and smartphone communication, ensuring both security and convenience.
HDC Hyundai Development Company has applied CPTED to the complex's CCTV to provide residents with enhanced security access control systems. It boasts security without blind spots centered on a 12-megapixel omnidirectional camera.
Various smart parking solutions are also applied in the underground parking lot, offering services such as vacant parking space notifications, automatic registration of parking locations, vehicle movement path search, and parking detection. Representative systems include a tracking system that recognizes and tracks vehicles through CCTV footage and a parking guidance system that searches and guides available parking zones.
Additionally, a 12-megapixel CCTV capable of 360-degree monitoring inside the parking lot is equipped with video analysis technology to track vehicle locations and automatically confirm final positions. This newly developed system supplements the limitations of the current parking location recognition system, which manually registers parking locations near the vehicle via a mobile app. It can detect illegal parking and notify managers through the disaster prevention office system, enabling efficient parking lot management.
Integrated Appliance Control with the Smart Residential Platform 'I-Park Home'
HDC Hyundai Development Company provides the I-Park Home app, which allows residents to control the I-Park complex and home appliances installed inside their homes via smartphones, based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The I-Park Home app enables control of lighting, heating, gas, and ventilation within the household, as well as lighting and temperature control by bedroom and standby power cutoff. It also supports complex access management, smart parking, community services, and weather and convenience information checks.
The I-Park Home app also supports the IPARK BOOKS electronic library service for residents. This service, provided in collaboration with Kyobo Book Centre, allows access to an electronic library through the I-Park Home app and a 10-inch tablet kitchen internet TV. It offers a basic collection of 2,700 types of content, including e-books and audiobooks. It has been applied to the Gwangju Administrative Town I-Park complex and will be expanded sequentially.
HDC Hyundai Development Company offers integration services so residents can control LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics appliances through the I-Park Home app. I-Park residents can integrate home IoT control from housing to appliances with a single app. After pilot testing the integration control between the I-Park Home app, home pads, and B2C IoT appliances last year, the IoT platform integration control service has been provided from this year’s move-in complexes. This enables control not only of convenience functions within the complex but also of appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, and air purifiers.
HDC Hyundai Development Company is developing various technologies that can be linked to smart home IoT for residents. Since 2017, it has applied wireless AP technology integrated with air quality sensors to I-Park complexes and obtained the first domestic patent last year. The wireless AP integrated with air quality sensors is linked to the home network on the living room ceiling and automatically controls ventilation. It measures indoor air quality, provides ventilation guidance via the wall pad, and works with heat exchangers to automatically ventilate through air conditioning units. Ventilation volume, temperature, and humidity can be adjusted according to fine dust concentration.
An HDC Hyundai Development Company official said, "We are striving to develop AI technology and provide more advanced smart home IoT services so that residents living in I-Park can live safely and conveniently." He added, "We plan to expand the I-Park smart home platform by linking various cloud and mobility services to further enhance residents' convenience."
