HONG KONG, April 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Home Touch (OTCBB:HMTO), a leader in intelligent home system technology, introduces a revolutionary home/building control application for the Apple iPad to the Hong Kong, China and Asia Pacific markets. The application allows residents to operate their existing Home Touch building control systems from their iPad, offering convenient local and remote access.
"We believe products like the Apple iPad represent the future of mobile computing," says David Gunawan, Home Touch President and CEO. "We plan to continue developing and introducing products which are compatible with this platform."
Apple's recently released iPad features multi-touch user interface, 3-axis accelerometer, screen rotation, Wi-Fi/3G access and sound recognition. In addition to iPad access, owners of Home Touch systems enjoy a range of innovative control devices and can operate their intelligent building controls with flat screen monitors, remote control devices and software installed on a remote computer.
In March, 2010, Home Touch received two new patent approvals for its Flatten Touch Technology™ and The FLOW™ remote control device. Several intelligent control technologies have already been approved by Hong Kong's Intellectual Property Patent Division and others are scheduled to enter the application phase.
Home Touch's Intelligent Control Systems integrate home controls to operate with higher energy-efficiency and enhanced living experience. The innovative green system combines wireless, paperless and keyless technology to control multiple functions – everything from lighting and temperature control, security and entry control, and entertainment systems. The technology reduces and regulates energy output based on space and usage.
