/EINPresswire.com/ -- SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - August 11, 2016) - e.Digital Corporation (OTCQB: EDIG), a long standing source of innovation and future-defining patented technologies, today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, ended June 30, 2016.
Patent monetization update - The Company began enforcing its Nunchi
"The Internet of Things (IoT) is being called the next industrial revolution," said Fred Falk, president & CEO of eDigital. "Analysts predict that by 2020, there will be 24 billion IoT devices connected to the internet. The connected home market, one segment of the IoT industry, is the space where eDigital and its supporting patents expects to participate. Utilizing our patented intellectual property, we are developing a smart home product that will monitor a household's water usage, help prevent water damage and reduce homeowner insurance claims by detecting leaks and monitoring water pressure in real-time, assess water quality, and assist homeowners with water conservation efforts. Water damage claims cost homeowners thousands of dollars, and insurance companies billions of dollars every year. Water conservation is a critical issue impacting the environment as nationwide water supplies become increasingly stressed. Water conservation not only saves the consumer money, it benefits the greater community.
"In addition to our smart home product development, we will continue to enforce our patents and we expect to continue to be successful in doing so," Falk concluded.
