ABSTRACT
Page 2 of 15

The term 'smart' is in fact an abbreviation for 'Self-Monitoring Analysis and

Reporting Technology', although it is used with its actual meaning of 'clever' to
describe any kind of available technology that allows users to connect with
internet networks.

Smart Technology Helps Conserve Energy.

In homes that use smart technology, light usage is automatically regulated,

heating and cooling equipment is monitored and appliances are shut off if not in
use. Homeowners have the added benefit of being able to turn appliances on or
off while they are away from home.

What makes a technology 'smart' is its ability to communicate and work with
other networked technologies, and through this ability to allow automated or
adaptive functionality as well as remote accessibility or operation from
anywhere.

1. INTRODUCTION TO SMART MODEL

1.1 WHAT IS A SMART MODEL

The dawn of the 21st century brought a technological revolution that we are still

riding today. Transitioning from the fourth industrial revolution to the fifth, we

have become so used to the fast pace of innovation that we continue to expect

ever more effective and work efficient technological solutions. Coming fast on

the heels of disruption conferred via the internet and touchscreen smartphones,

it’s now the turn of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart technology to head the

next phase of global innovation.

Why?

Well, because it is changing the way we live, communicate, and work.

We can see this by taking an in-depth look at one of the top trends in

technology – smart technology.

The word “SMART” refers to “self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting

technology. It is a technology that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning,

and big data analysis to provide cognitive awareness to objects that were in the

past considered inanimate.

What makes a technology 'smart' is its ability to communicate and work with

other networked technologies, and through this ability to allow automated or

adaptive functionality as well as remote accessibility or operation from

anywhere.

ITS ORIGIN CAME BETWEEN 1966 – 1967 - ECHO IV and the Kitchen

Computer – Although it was never commercially sold, the ECHO IV was the

first smart device. This clever device could compute shopping lists, control the

home's temperature and turn appliances on and off.

A recent global market research report defines the smart workplace

as technologies, services, and solutions that “connect and engage,” enabling

people to work better, faster, and securely.

1.2 EXAMPLES OF SMART MODEL

Smart technology can be divided into three different kinds:

1. Internet of Things (IoT) devices

A network of devices that make use of sensors, chips, software, online

connectivity, analytics, and applications to bring static physical objects to life.

These devices create substantial value, and they are futuristic, scalable, and

automated.

Some prominent examples include smart cities, smart homes, and smart

factories.

2. Smart Connected Devices

Controlled via a remote and connected via the internet or Bluetooth, smart

connected devices can offer a customised experience but have to be handled

given that they don’t adapt to the extent IoT devices do.

Smart security cameras, smart bulbs, and smartphones are some examples of

smart connected devices.

With limited automation, no need for internet connectivity, and programmable

nature, smart devices, for instance, smart coffeemakers, provide certain

personalised services at a particular time.

Several notable types of smart devices are

smartphones, smart speakers, smart cars, smart
thermostats, smart doorbells, smart locks, smart
refrigerators, phablets and tablets, smartwatches,
smart bands, smart keychains, smart glasses, and
many others .

2. BENEFITS OF SMART MODEL IN

TECHNOLOGY

Some of the key benefits of using smart technology are as follows:

1) Convenience

Never has it been possible to do so many tasks simultaneously with minimal

effort, such as just using your voice, as it is today. This has become possible

due to smart technology. Whether it be adjusting the lighting of a room,

securing your home, or ordering your favourite food online, smart technology is

available at your beck and call. It takes convenience to a whole new level.

What’s even better is that the latest smart technologies are:

 Well-equipped to understand your preferences by analysing them in order

to provide you an automated, personalised service.
 Able enough to take into account external factors such as traffic and the
condition of, for instance, your vehicle or the environment to inform you
in advance as well as guide you safely to your destination.

2) Ensures Sustainability
Page 10 of 15

With the pressing need to ‘go green’ and save planet Earth as well as avoid high

energy costs, industrial and domestic sectors are trying hard to deploy smart

technology.

Given that, more often than not we do not optimise our use of energy and

instead waste it by forgetting to turn off domestic appliances, smart technology

can play a pivotal role in helping conserve energy.

It can regulate and automate the use of energy, for example by switching off or

adjusting lights, heating, and cooling appliances when they are not in use, or

when the required conditions have been achieved. This saves money and at the

same time helps conserve energy, a true win-win.

3) Security-

Smart technology offers more reliable security than traditional, manually

operated security systems. Smart security gadgets such as door sensors, alarm
systems, security cameras, and video doorbells help warn building owners about
the various threats to their property. Apart from alerting the owners, law
enforcement agencies are also informed, and protective measures such as,
blocking certain pathways or locking rooms, are taken.

In addition to this, smart digital smoke, gas, water and sewerage leakage can not

only be detected, but also the technology enables real-time preventive action,

potentially saving one from discomfort and even bodily harm.

4) Efficiency

Smart technology makes use of data to understand how improvements can be

made. It tracks and analyses what’s going on to deliver better results in the
11

future. This entails that processes and systems become more efficient, and you

as a person become more productive.

Imagine waking up exactly on time after having slept comfortably to find that

everything is ready for your needs to start your day well, eliminate distractions

and leave for work on time.

5) Saves Money and Time

Energy bills can be reduced by using smart technological devices such as a

smart thermostat, smart lighting, remote power management, water heaters,

washing machines, and fridges as they can optimise the use of energy and in

turn, use less of it to do more.

Smart technology automates repetitive chores and eliminates lost or wasted

time.

3. TYPES OF SMART MODELS

(I) SMART PHONES

A smartphone is a portable computer device that combines mobile

telephone and computing functions into one unit. They are distinguished
from feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and
extensive mobile operating systems, which facilitate
wider software, internet (including web browsing over mobile broadband),
and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming),
alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging.
Smartphones typically contain a number of metal–oxide–
semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chips, include various sensors that
can be leveraged by pre-included and third-party software (such as
a magnetometer, proximitysensors, barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer and m
ore), and support wireless communications protocols (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,
or satellite navigation).

Early smartphones were marketed primarily towards the enterprise market,

attempting to bridge the functionality of standalone personal digital
assistant (PDA) devices with support for cellular telephony,

(An umbrella term for an automobile with advanced electronics.

Microprocessors have been used in car engines since the late 1960s
and have steadily increased in usage throughout the engine and
drivetrain to improve stability, braking and general comfort. There
can be a hundred or more microprocessors in a car today.
(8)
The 1990s brought enhancements such as GPS navigation, reverse sensing
systems and night vision (able to visualize animals and people beyond normal
human range).

The 2000s added assisted parking, Web and email access, voice control, smart
card activation instead of keys and systems that keep the vehicle a safe distance
from cars and objects in its path. Of course, the ultimate smart car is the one that
drives itself (see self-driving car). See automotive safety systems, embedded
system, connected car and smart

(III) SMART LOCKS

 A smart lock is an electromechanical lock that is designed to

perform locking and unlocking operations on a door when it receives
a prompt via an electronic keypad, biometric sensor, access card,
Bluetooth, or Wi-FI from a registered mobile device.

 These locks are called smart locks because they use advanced
technology and Internet communication to enable easier access for
users and enhanced security from intruders.

 The main components of a smart lock include the physical lock, the
key (which can be electronic, digitally encrypted, or a virtual key to
provide keyless entry), a secure Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection, and
a management mobile app.

 Smart locks may also monitor access and send alerts in response to
the different events it monitors as well as other critical events related
to the status of the device. Smart locks can be considered part of
a smart home

4. HOW DOES A SMART MODEL WORK?

 Smart technology relies on smart devices that are

equipped with one or several sensors that provide data
that they use to analyze and infer from, drawing
conclusions from preprogrammed rules, confer with
other smart devices, and act accordingly. To do that,
they also need a certain amount of computing power, one
or more actuators, and communication capabilities (such
as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi).

 Some smart devices are also capable of learning by using
experience to improve performance, anticipating, thinking
and reasoning about what to do next.

 The sensors that smart devices can be equipped with can
perform all kinds of measurements – temperature,
acceleration, radiation like light intensity, humidity, motion
like heartbeat, pressure, and so on – so there really is not
limit as to the application areas where they can be used.

This combination of sensor data, interconnectivity and learning gives

smart devices a certain degree of autonomy – and that improves their
performance when compared to their non-smart counterparts
