Three Major Technologies of IoT (Internet of Things)
Sensing Technology
Includes a physical sensor to acquire information from the environment
Physical sensors are developing into smart sensors with information processing systems embedded
Includes virtual sensing feature to extract particular information from the sensed data
Wired/Wireless Communication and Network Infrastructure
IoT wired/wireless communication and network systems refer to all wired/wireless networks that can connect people, objects, and services, including the existing WPAN, WiFi, 3G/4G/LTE, Bluetooth, Ethernet, BcN, satellite connection, Microware, serial connection, PLC, etc
IoT Service Interface Technology
IoT service interface connects IOT’s three major components (people, objects, and services) to the applied services with particular features
IoT service interface is not a network interface, but serves as an interface that provides services (saving, processing, converting, etc.) such as information sensing, processing/extracting, saving, decision-making, identification of circumstances, security/privacy protection, certification/authentication, discovery, object standardization, semantics based on ontology, open sensor API, virtualization, identification of location, process management, open platform technology, middleware technology, data mining technology, web service technology, social network, etc
