Q1) Mention Different Examples and case studies which describe the

“Flavour of Internet of Things” (at least 3 Examples)

Answer:
THE FLAVOUR OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS:

• Nike Wrist Band Tracker:

On your lunch break, a pedometer in your training shoes and a

heart monitor in your wrist band help track your run around the block.
The wrist band’s large display also makes it easy to glance down and
see how fast you are running and how many calories you’ve burned. All
the data is automatically uploaded to your sports tracking site, which
also integrates with your online supermarket shopping account to
make it easy to compare with how many calories you’ve eaten.

• My Train Schedule and alarm clock:

The alarm rings. As we open our eyes blearily, we see that it’s five
minutes later than our usual wake-up time.
(b) It just a simple state machine that slept until it got close to wake-up
time, then startedmonitoring the departure boards.
(c) The clock has checked the train times online, and your train must be
delayed, so it lets you sleep in a little longer.

• Medicine Glowcaps:

Vitality GlowCap is an easy-to-use, comprehensive medication

adherence system comprised of a smart cap and bottle, Vitality Mobile
Application, and the Vitality Medication Adherence Portal. The Medicine
Glowcaps are placed in your kitchen and a blinking light from the glowcap
reminds you to take your medicine.Incase you forfet to take the
medicine,it goes online and emails your doctor to remind the patient to
take the medicine.

• Wheredial:

(a) Your phone checks you in automatically to a location-based service

(such as Foursquare).
(b) On your mantelpiece at home, an ornament with a dial notices the
change and starts to turn so that the text on it points to the word
“Travelling”.
(c) Your family will also see later that you’ve arrived at “Work” safely.

• Umbrella with Weather-Forecasting Handle:

(a) A model for appropriate embedded technology, the Forecast umbrella
provides information about the likelihood of rain so that users can make a
simple, informed decision about whether to take their umbrella with them
as they leave for home.
(b) Using existing Wi-Fi technology to wirelessly pull information from the
internet, Forecast’s lighted umbrella handle glows more intensely with the
increased chance of precipitation offering a clear and unobtrusive signal
to the user.

Q2) What is the importance of “Equation for the Internet of Things”?

Answer:
The Internet of things is defined as a paradigm in which

objects equipped with sensors, actuators, and processors

communicate with each other to serve a meaningful

purpose. Equation of Internet of Things:

Physical object
+
Controllers, Sensors and Actuators
+
Internet
=
Internet of Things
 A. Physical Object:

Devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which are

embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and

network connectivity, which enables these objects to

collect and exchange data.

B. Controllers:

A controller, in a computing context, is a hardware device

or a software program that manages or directs the flow of

data between two entities in a general sense, a controller

can be thought of as something or someone that interfaces

between two systems and manages communications

between them.

C. Sensors:

Sensor is a device, module, or subsystem whose purpose

is to detect events or changes in its environment and

send the information to other electronics, frequently a

computer processor. A sensor is always used with other

electronics.
 D. Actuators:

An actuator is a component of a machine that is

responsible for moving and controlling a

mechanism or system.

E. Internet:

The internet is a globally connected network system that

uses TCP/IP to transmit data via various types of media.

The internet is a network of global exchanges – including

private, public, business, academic and government

networks – connected by guided, wireless and fiber-optic

technologies.

Q3) Who is making Internet of Things? Explain with diagram “I Make

Things” with the importance of each team member of IOT
development.

Answer:

Although we look at various theoretical aspects in this book, we are

largely interested in the practice of actually designing and making
Internet connected Things. As Internet of Things thought leader and
entrepreneur Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino noted at the Victoria and
Albert Museum’s Power of Making Symposium, both these words mean
many things to different people. The following graphic depicts her initial
attempt to map out the meaning of making things:

The following people make the internet of things:-

• Designer.
• Hacker.
• Engineer.
• Developer.
• Crafrsperson.
• Artist.

Designer:- The role of designer in the Internet of Things to design the

interface of ecommerce websites, or they do frontend development, or
they design the business structure around a product ie its website,
application and other touchpoints. Some designer are also reponsible to
design products physically.
Hacker:- In IOT, we need inhouse hackers for the client’s safety. The
inhouse hackers can test the product and see if there is any slightest of
possibility for an unauthorised user to access the data and cause harm to
the owners of the products. If found any possibility of hacking, the
inhouse hackers make the required changes resulting into the prevention
of data accessing.
Engineer:- The role of engineers in Internet of Things is to follow the
products they design throughout their entire product lifecycle,
enabling engineers to learn how their design performs in reality so they
can create more productive and efficient products in the future. There are
types of professionals such as System Design Engineers that create the
architecture of systems, while IoT Software Developers work to develop
the software within the systems and IoT Solution Architects create
hardware systems.
Developer:- Since Internet of Things involves communication between
applications and physical devices, developers are assigned in different
areas, among software programming, hardware programming, security
implementation, networking, and systems engineering. An IoT
developer is one popular role within the larger IoT field, focusing primarily
on the creation of software that allows products to function and connect
to other devices.
Artists and Craftperson: Artists may collaborate with designers on
installations or with traditional craftspeople on printmaking. Designers
and engineers work closely to make industrial products, and hobbyist
“hackers” by their nature, are a diverse group encompassing various
technical and
artistic interests and skills.
