In-App purchases are crucial for many applications, and the Samsung In-App Purchase (IAP) service helps developers manage purchases, subscriptions, and refunds efficiently. To keep your server in sync with user transactions, Samsung IAP Instant Server Notification (ISN) sends real-time notifications to your backend server when purchase-related events occur. ISN for Samsung IAP is a method used by Samsung's system to notify your server about user activities related to in-app items and subscriptions. When a change occurs, Samsung sends a notification to your server. A list of all events that trigger a notification is available here. In this article, we will build a Spring Boot server that handles these notifications. Prerequisites To implement ISN for Samsung IAP, it is important to focus on the requirements that helps you to most easily implement the process: Create an IAP public key in the Seller Portal. This key is used to authenticate the notifications you receive and verify that they are from the Samsung IAP ISN system. The steps you need to follow are outlined in the Create an IAP public key in Seller Portal documentation. Create an in-app item in the Seller Portal. Follow the related documentation to create an in-app item. ISN Structure The ISN for Samsung IAP service sends a notification to the application developer server. The structure of the notification is always a base64-encoded JSON Web Token (JWT) and consists of three parts. The three parts are: Header Payload Signature Header The JWT uses a JOSE (JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption) header. Similar to the envelope of a letter, the header indicates the type of notification being sent. For additional information, refer to the Samsung IAP ISN Header article. Example encoded header: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSXXXXXXXX Example decoded header: { "alg" : "RS256", "typ" : "JWT" } Payload The payload is the actual content of the message, like the letter inside the envelope. This part contains the crucial information you need, like the user’s subscription details, the product they have subscribed to, and the current status of the subscription. More details about the payload check are available in the following documentation and Data claims section. Example encoded payload: eyJpc3MiOiJpYXAuc2Ftc3VuZ2FwcHMuY29tIiwic3ViIjoiRVZFTlRfTkFNRSIsImF1ZCI6WyJjb20ucGFja2FnZS5uYW1lIl0sIm5iZiI6MTcxNzIwNCwiaWF0IjoxNzE3MjA0LCJkYXRhIjp7InNlbGxlck5hbWUiOm51bGwsIm NvbnRlbnROYW1lIjoiTWFydGluZSJ9LCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoXXXXXXXX Example decoded payload: { "iss": "iap.samsungapps.com", "sub": "EVENT_NAME", "aud": ["com.package.name"], "nbf": 1717XXXXXX, "iat": 1717XXXXXX, "data": {..}, "version": "X.0" } Signature The signature is the security feature that acts as a digital stamp to prove the message is genuine and hasn’t been tampered with. You can use this signature to verify that the data in the payload is authentic and was created by Samsung. Further information is provided in the signature documentation. Now that we know the structure of the ISN for Samsung IAP, we can configure the server to handle it. Server Configuration According to the ISN for Samsung IAP requirements, you must set up a server to receive the notifications. Below, we create a Spring Boot server. Use your preferred IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or online Spring Initializr to create a Spring Boot server. Follow the steps below to set up your own server. Step 1: Set Up a Spring Boot Project Use the Spring Initializr tool to create a new project. Choose the following dependency: Spring Web Generate and download the project. Step 2: Import the Project into IDE Open the project in the IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc.) Step 3: Set Up ISN Endpoint Create a controller for ISN Notifications in the IDE after importing the Spring Boot project. The controller receives POST requests (Subscription, Refund and Cancel) sent from Samsung’s IAP server. Add necessary dependencies in the build.gradle file: { implementation 'com.auth0:java-jwt:4.0.0' //For JWT verifier implementation 'org.json:json:20230227' // For JSON parsing } Load the public key detailed in the prerequisite section: private String loadPublicKey(String fileName) throws IOException { ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(fileName); StringBuilder contentBuilder = new StringBuilder(); try (InputStream inputStream = resource.getInputStream(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream))) { String line; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { contentBuilder.append(line).append("\n"); } } return contentBuilder.toString(); } Remove headers, footers, and whitespace from the public key and convert it to the RSAPublicKey format. private RSAPublicKey getRSAPublicKeyFromPEM(String pem) throws Exception { String publicKeyPEM = pem .replace("-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----", "") .replace("-----END PUBLIC KEY-----", "") .replaceAll("\\s", ""); // Remove headers, footers, and whitespace byte[] encoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(publicKeyPEM); KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); X509EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(encoded); return (RSAPublicKey) keyFactory.generatePublic(keySpec); } Create a JWT verifier with RSAPublicKey and, finally, verify the JWT. If the verification is successful, decode the JWT to retrieve the decoded JSON payload. The decoded payload contains the message of the notification. private void verifyToken(String token, RSAPublicKey publicKey) { try { // Create JWT verifier with RSA public key Algorithm algorithm = Algorithm.RSA256(publicKey, null); // Verify the JWT token JWTVerifier verifier = JWT.require(algorithm) .withIssuer("iap.samsungapps.com") .build(); DecodedJWT jwt = verifier.verify(token); // Decode the JWT token String payloadJson = new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode(jwt.getPayload())); JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(payloadJson); //Print decoded JSON payload System.out.println("Payload as JSON: " + jsonObject.toString(4)); } catch (JWTVerificationException e) { System.out.println("Invalid token: " + e.getMessage()); } } In this sample project, we have only printed the payload data to the console. You can use this according to your requirements. Step 4: Deploy the Server The server needs a publicly accessible URL to receive ISN notifications. In our project, we have used CodeSandbox to get the publicly accessible URL for the server. Once you deploy the project on CodeSandbox, you will get a publicly accessible URL that looks like this: https://abcde-8080.csb.app/iap/isn. Testing with Seller Portal Test your server with Samsung Galaxy Store Seller Portal: Set the CodeSandbox URL as the ISN URL in Seller Portal. Go to the In-App Purchase section and create items with the required details. In the "ISN URL" field, set the publicly accessible server URL. After setting the URL, click the Test button. A notification will be sent to the specified server immediately. You will also receive a notification on the server that you just deployed in the CodeSandbox. Figure 1: Testing with Seller Portal Testing with a Sample Application Now it is time to test the ISN for Samsung IAP from the user application. Further details are provided in the Integrate the Samsung In-App Purchase Orders API with Your Application article. Download the sample application from this blog and then follow the instructions until you reach the "Implementation of Item Subscription" section. In the sample application, after clicking the "Buy" button, startPayment() is called. The onPayment() callback returns an indication of whether the purchase succeeds or fails. If the purchase is successful, the IAP server sends a notification to your server. iapHelper.startPayment(itemId, String.valueOf(1), new OnPaymentListener() { @Override public void onPayment(@NonNull ErrorVo errorVo, @Nullable PurchaseVo purchaseVo) { if (purchaseVo != null) { Log.d("purchaseId" , purchaseVo.getPurchaseId().toString()); // Purchase successfull }else { Log.d("purchaseError" , errorVo.toString()); } } }); Example Response After successfully purchasing an item, a JSON response is returned. For more information on each parameter, you can check the Item purchased documentation. Example JSON response: "data" : { "itemId": "example_item_id", "orderId": "XXXX40601KRA00XXXXX", "purchaseId": "XXXXX7245d57cc1ba072b81d06e6f86cd49d3da63854538eea689273787XXXXX", "testPayYn": "N", "betaTestYn": "N", "passThroughParam": null } NoteFor different event types, it sends different data claims. For more detailed information regarding data claims, see Data claims. Conclusion By implementing the ISN for Samsung IAP with your server, you can easily and securely stay in sync with user in-app purchases. Integrating ISN for Samsung IAP helps you improve your application management experience and grow your application’s revenue. Following this guide will help you smoothly set up the system and provide a better way to manage your application.

In video content, audio is just as essential as the visuals, playing a key role in immersion and making viewers feel as if they are part of the scene. To create a truly optimized sound experience, Samsung Electronics collaborated with Google to develop Eclipsa Audio — a cutting-edge 3D audio technology officially introduced through Samsung TVs last month at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas. Samsung Newsroom took a closer look at the technology behind Eclipsa Audio and how it delivers lifelike 3D spatial audio. Developing 3D Spatial Audio Technology In 2023, the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) — a global consortium that includes Samsung, Google, Netflix, Meta and other leading companies — officially adopted Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF) as the industry standard for 3D audio. Developed by Samsung and Google, this innovative 3D audio format is currently available to content creators under the brand name Eclipsa Audio. Eclipsa Audio establishes a shared protocol between different types of media content and the devices that play them. The format delivers a deeply immersive listening experience by optimizing and adapting audio positioning, intensity, spatial reflections and other sound elements to various output environments, such as cinemas, home theater systems, gaming consoles and mobile devices. Depending on the output device, the technology can render sound from multiple directions — including from the front, back, left, right, above and below — to create a sense of spatial depth and presence within the scene being watched. In a concert video for instance, Eclipsa Audio presents the artist’s performance in crystal-clear detail while also capturing the energy of the audience, making the viewer feel as if they are physically there. Designed for Optimal 3D Audio in Everyday Life Among the growing range of technologies enhancing 3D sound — including surround sound, immersive audio and spatial audio — Eclipsa Audio was specifically designed to provide a 3D audio experience optimized for everyday listening. Traditionally, 3D audio content is created with the assumption that it will be played in environments equipped with multiple surround speakers. However, most home entertainment setups primarily consist of a TV and a soundbar — making it challenging to accurately replicate the content creator’s intended spatial audio effects. Eclipsa Audio overcomes this limitation by automatically analyzing sound elements in each segment of a film — from whispered dialogue to the roar of fighter jets in the background — and delivering a dynamic 3D audio effect fine-tuned for the viewer’s home environment. Building a 3D Audio Ecosystem With Open-Source Technology Eclipsa Audio’s open-source framework sets it apart from other 3D audio technologies by allowing anyone to create 3D audio content without paying royalties. Following its debut at CES 2025, the technology has been met with enthusiasm from content creators and has gained momentum across media platforms and online communities. In this way, Eclipsa Audio serves as an open vessel in which content creators can integrate 3D audio elements from all directions without restrictions. By democratizing spatial audio, Eclipsa Audio empowers content creators and ensures that consumers experience sound as intended — regardless of their audio setup. Eclipsa Audio on Samsung TVs Eclipsa Audio’s immersive 3D sound performs at its best when paired with exceptional hardware. To make that peak performance a reality, Samsung and Google have worked tirelessly to provide consumers with Eclipsa Audio-supported 3D audio content — soon to be available via the YouTube app on Samsung’s latest TVs. Eclipsa Audio is set to roll out across the company’s entire 2025 TV lineup from the Crystal UHD series to the premium flagship Neo QLED 8K models.1 Most Samsung TVs are equipped with stereo speakers at the bottom of the screen, and for QLED 4K models and above, additional speakers are positioned at the top. Flagship models, though, come with extra benefits. Besides surround speakers added to the rear of the sides, their top-positioned speakers are specially designed for height perception. Eclipsa Audio reflects sound off the ceiling with these special speakers, creating an effect that allows viewers to experience upward-directional audio — such as the sensation of an object flying overhead. Pairing the TV with a soundbar further enhances the experience, producing richer and more expansive 3D spatial audio. Eclipsa Audio has established the foundation for a 3D audio content ecosystem by bringing industry leaders — from device manufacturers to content platforms — together under a unified standard. In an era where streaming services blur the line between content creation and consumption, Eclipsa Audio unlocks new possibilities for immersive sound that Samsung is determined to further expand. 1 Rollout schedule and service details may vary depending on the TV model.

Quantum dots have attracted attention as next-generation material for a wide range of applications including displays, medical devices and solar cells. In 2014, Samsung Electronics developed the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material and successfully commercialized quantum dot technology with its SUHD TVs. Since 2017, the company has continued to build on its legacy of quantum dot mastery through QLED — its own quantum dot TV series. Samsung Newsroom explored how quantum dots are taking Samsung displays to the next level. Quantum Dots: The Next Generation of Display Innovation Quantum dots are ultra-fine semiconductor particles that are tens of thousands of times thinner than a human hair. Since inception, their physical characteristics that allow them to provide the highest level of color accuracy and brightness among existing materials had them positioned to revolutionize display technology. When used in displays, quantum dots support a wide color gamut that closely matches colors perceived by the human eye and facilitate pixel-level light adjustment for more accurate black levels. Emitting light in all directions, quantum dots deliver uniform luminance and consistent color from any viewing angle while minimizing blue light exposure for a more comfortable viewing experience. ▲ SUHD TVs at CES 2015 What Sets Quantum Dot TVs Apart: Content, Film Quality and No-Cadmium Technology The TV industry continues research and development into the commercialization of quantum dots as the material becomes a game-changer in display technology. For that reason, a variety of quantum dot TVs have hit the market recently — offering a wide range of options to customers. However, key differences in quantum dot TVs lie in how the technology is implemented and the overall quality of the display. To ensure a premium viewing experience, factors such as the amount of quantum dot content, the quality of quantum dot film and the use of no-cadmium materials must be considered. ▲ Factors to consider when selecting a high-quality quantum dot TV Quantum Dot Content The true quality of a quantum dot TV is defined by its quantum dot content. The quantum dot layer requires a minimum of 30 parts per million (ppm) of the material to achieve the vivid, rich picture quality and color expression that only quantum dots can deliver. Quantum Dot Film Quantum dot displays have a simpler and more efficient structure compared to LCDs. Samsung QLEDs eliminate the need for a phosphor layer, enhancing light and energy efficiency while delivering more vivid colors. A quantum dot OLED (QD-OLED), which consists of a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer,1 a self-emitting light source and a quantum dot film that uses the light emitted from the light source, takes a step further enhancing picture quality. In either case, a dedicated quantum dot film that contains sufficient quantum dots is key in delivering top-class picture quality and longevity. ▲ A comparison of QD-OLED and LCD displays No Cadmium In the early stages of developing quantum dot TVs, cadmium was essential to achieving the key benefits of quantum dots such as color reproduction and contrast ratio. At the time, cadmium was considered the most efficient material for producing quantum dots. However, cadmium’s toxicity became a significant obstacle to the commercialization of quantum dot technology. The element posed serious threats to the environment — making its widespread use difficult despite being the most suitable material for implementing quantum dot technology. In response to this challenge, Samsung developed the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material in 2014 and successfully commercialized quantum dot technology with its SUHD TVs in the following year to open a new era of quantum dot TVs. 10 Years of Quantum Dot Innovation and Leadership Samsung has quickly recognized the potential of quantum dot technology and led innovation in the global display market over the past decade through continuous research and investment. ▲ A timeline of Samsung’s quantum dot technology development from 2001 to 2022 Samsung began researching and developing quantum dot technology in 2001 — at a time when there was limited research on non-cadmium materials. Achieving vivid colors required making the nano-sized particles uniform, but the lack of technology and research made mass production extremely challenging. Despite these obstacles, Samsung succeeded in creating a no-cadmium nanocrystal material in 2014. Since then, the company has accumulated extensive expertise — registering more than 150 patents — and continuously worked on advancing the technology. Samsung’s long-standing commitment culminated in 2015 when the company unveiled the world’s first SUHD TVs with no-cadmium quantum dot technology. ▲ QLED TVs (75Q8C and 88Q8F) at Samsung’s First Look 2017 event during CES 2017 Samsung’s QLED lineup was revealed in 2017, setting a new standard for premium TVs that overcame the limitations of OLED TVs. By applying metal quantum dot technology, Samsung achieved the Digital Cinema Initiative’s color standard DCI-P3 and achieved 100% color volume for the first time in the world — thereby presenting unparalleled color expression. Notably, the use of inorganic quantum dot technology protected the screens from burn-in2 to ensure consistent picture quality over time. ▲ (From left to right) Kwang-Hee Kim, Dr. Taehyung Kim, Dr, Eunjoo Jang, Sungwoo Kim and Seon-Myeong Choi from Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology Following its success in developing a red light-emitting element for displays in 2019, the company enhanced the luminous efficiency of blue self-emitting QLEDs — considered the most challenging to implement among the three primary QLED colors3 — to an industry-leading 20.2%. “Discovering a blue material for self-emitting QLEDs and demonstrating industry-leading performance at the device level were significant achievements of this research,” said Dr. Eunjoo Chang, a fellow at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology. “Samsung’s distinctive quantum dot technology has once again overcome technical barriers.” This cutting-edge advancements led to the launch of the QD-OLED TVs, making history at CES 2022 by winning the Best of Innovation award for integrating quantum dot technology and OLED displays. Samsung remains dedicated to advancing quantum dot technology through continuous innovation. The company continues to invest in leading display technology — from QLED to Neo OLED — by offering high brightness, color accuracy and frequency. Driven by Samsung’s unrivaled quantum dot innovations, the future of display technology is brighter than ever. 1 An electronic circuit that adjusts and controls the light-emitting layers 2 Occurs when a static image is displayed for too long, causing color distortions or ghost images to remain on screen 3 Red, green and blue View the full article

Smartwatches have become a part of our daily lives, combining functionality and style in one compact device. With Samsung's Watch Face Studio (WFS), designers can create unique watch faces that are customized to their requirements. Dynamic weather features, which display real-time updates and forecasts on the watch face, are particularly appealing. This article covers WFS’s weather features, their uses, and how to create useful weather-themed watch faces. You can create a watch face using weather data as art. This article introduces the following weather features which enhance watch face design: Weather forecast The last time the weather was updated in ICU format Weather tags You can follow the examples in this article by downloading the sample project from here. Forecast for the next few hours and days Weather information becomes more valuable when presented in a way that is easy to read at a glance. Using weather tags, WFS enables you to easily incorporate forecasts for the coming hours and days. Hourly forecast The forecastHours(index, text) tag can be used to show hourly weather updates. One of the two pieces of information that the forecastHours tag collects is an index that takes a number starting at 1 for the following hour. Thus, by setting the index, you can set the data for the next few hours. The text part uses five distinct weather tags: • Temperature • Time of day • Weather condition • Weather condition name • Weather data available Use the forecastHours tag with the weather condition, time, and temperature to offer users a short-term forecast of what to expect throughout the day. Tiny weather icons (like Sunny: , Rainy: , and Snow: ) can be used as bitmaps portraying the current weather conditions and the corresponding temperatures. Forecast hours for icon You can set the weather icon for the upcoming hour by following these steps: Create a text component. Use this forecast tag on the text: forecastHours (1, "COND") Choose the Bitmap Font to use icons for the forecastHours (). Select images for the appropriate weather conditions. NoteYou need to create the icons, using any design tool, for your project. 5. Set the font size to 40. Figure 1: Setting the font size NoteOnly a few icons are used in this article for certain conditions; the clear condition icon is used for all other conditions. Include 10-15 on the CUSTOM tab since weather condition has values up to 15. Figure 2: Bitmap font setting Forecast hours for temperature You can now adjust the temperature by using the forecastHours() tag. You may display the temperature (positive or negative) for the upcoming hour and the temperature unit in degrees by following these steps: Consider a text element. To display the temperature in degrees, use forecastHours(1,"TEM")° Choose the temperature unit (([WTHR_TEM_UNIT] == 1)? "C": "F") The full tag expression looks like this: (forecastHours(1, "TEM"))°(([WTHR_TEM_UNIT] == 1)? "C": "F")) To display the weather forecast for the next hour, just change the index value to 2. Availability of weather data For every forecast tag, you need to check if the data is available with this tag: (forecastHours(X, "IS_AVAIL")). In the sample project, for every forecast group, the corresponding weather tag is used for checking its availability. The following tag expression is used for the next hour’s forecast: ((forecastHours(1, "IS_AVAIL")) - 1) * 100 Figure 3: Tag expression for checking availability of weather data Daily forecast You can incorporate daily weather forecasts into watch face designs using the forecastDays() tag. Customized indices (for example, 1 for tomorrow) make it simple to portray multi-day weather trends. WFS lets you show the weather conditions for a certain day, including high and low temperatures using forecastDays(index, "TEM_HIGH") for highest temperature and forecastDays(index, "TEM_LOW") for lowest temperature. The later parts of the sample project show the weather predictions for tomorrow. WFS uses the forecastDays(1,"TEM_HIGH") tag to show the temperature for the following day’s high and forecastDays(1,"TEM_LOW") tag for the next day’s low. For the high and low temperatures tomorrow, use the following tag expression: (forecastDays(1,"TEM_HIGH"))° ~ (forecastDays(1,"TEM_LOW"))°(([WTHR_TEM_UNIT] == 1)? "C": "F") You can apply a similar tag expression for the forecast for the days after tomorrow by changing the index value. Last weather update (ICU format) This watch face example incorporates the most current update time to reassure customers that the weather information is recent. Weather data should be updated often to remain accurate. WFS offers the most recent weather update in the ICU format. To add the most recent weather update time in ICU format, follow these steps: From the component list, get the ICU date and time. Figure 4: ICU date and time To customize the ICU date and time, select the PROPERTIES tab. Choose the ICU Format as HH: MM from the DATE AND TIME section. Set the Local Calendar to Gregorian and the Time Zone to Sync with Device. Select Last Updated Time (Weather) as the Time Source. Figure 5: Date and Time Other weather tags Current weather condition for icon You can use the bitmap font for the current weather condition since it is already prepared for forecastHours(). Use the [WTHR_COND] tag, which provides the current weather, and choose bitmap as the font setting. Current temperature Use the [WTHR_TEM] tag to show the current temperature. The current temperature is obtained with the following tag expression, which also sets the temperature unit: [WTHR_TEM]°(([WTHR_TEM_UNIT] == 1)? "C": "F") Today’s highest and lowest temperatures You can display the highest and lowest temperatures of the day by using the tags [WTHR_DAY_TEM_HIGH]) for the highest temperature and [WTHR_DAY_TEM_LOW] for the lowest temperature. The highest and lowest temperatures for today are listed below, based on the forecastDays() tag expression for the highest and lowest temperatures for the following day: ([WTHR_DAY_TEM_HIGH])° ~ ([WTHR_DAY_TEM_LOW])°(([WTHR_TEM_UNIT] == 1)? "C": "F") Summary Smartwatches offering weather forecasts are useful and engaging. With WFS, designers can use advanced tags like forecastDays(), forecastHours(), and last update time to deliver real-time weather updates, daily forecasts, and information such as high and low temperatures. Because they provide information at a glance, smartwatch faces are practical and attractive.
