Internet of Things

An Introduction
What is Internet?
• The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide
system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users
at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information
from any other computer
• Can send and receive all kinds of information such as text, graphics, voice,
video, and computer programs.
Internet Usage
Do you use internet in your daily life?
What is the Internet-of-Things?
IoT is simply the network of interconnected things/devices which are
embedded with sensors, software, network connectivity and necessary
electronics that enables them to collect and exchange data making
them responsive.
What is the Internet-of-Things?
How Does Fridge Do That?
• An adult leaving the home (sense user)
• There’s no milk in fridge (sense object)
• Use this information to make a decision (process)
• Inform user of decision (communicate)
How Does Fridge Do That?
• You are leaving the home (sense user)
• What type of sensor?
• Distinguish between parent and child
• Identify reason for leaving home
• Identify other contexts (e.g., store hours)
• There’s no milk in fridge (sense object)
• Use this information to make a decision (process)
• Inform user of decision (notify)
How Does Fridge Do That?
• You are leaving the home (sense user)
• There’s no milk in fridge (sense object)
• What type of sensor?
• Is milk needed?
• No milk or “little” milk? (prediction)
• Use this information to make a decision (process)
• Inform user of decision (notify)
How Does My Fridge Do That?
• You are leaving the home (sense user)
• There’s no milk in fridge (sense object)
• Use this information to make a decision (process)
• Where is processor?
• What are the rules?
• Fixed rules versus dynamic rules (learning)
• Inform user of decision (notify)
How Does My Fridge Do That?
• You are leaving the home (sense user)

• Use this information to make a decision (process)
• Inform user of decision (notify)
• How?
• When?
• Information overflow?
