Challenge
The aim of IQP is to provide a highly productive application development environment that
enables companies to respond to the challenges as well as competitive advantages and
fast-approaching opportunities offered by IoE.
It is clear that IoE will require new and innovative approaches in application development. The
complexity of IoE demands a level of application development productivity that is far beyond
what can be achieved with traditional development methods. Semi-automatic tools, such as a
template-based approach or an SDK type offering, cannot match IoE's technical requirements.
We are actively working to ensure that the IQP solution is IoE-optimized and ready for the future.
The primary target users of IQP are “Power Users”, who are the experts of some specific areas,
such as Hardware Engineers and Business professionals, but who don’t have any experience with
IT system development or more specifically, they have no programming language experience
General computer users who have little or no IT expertise are also potential candidates for IQP.
Anyone can begin to create IQP application with just 2-3 days training.
For Professional Software Engineer, IQP provides professional Software Engineers with the
option to do additional programming. HTML, JavaScript Editor and SDK are supported for more
advanced system development needs and flexibility.

IQP Overview
Application Development in IQP
The traditional approach to developing Web applications requires you to have knowledge of
HTML, JavaScript, RDB and Java.
With IQP, no programming skill or experience is required – you can learn to create Web
applications with just 2-3 days of training.
IQP System Structure
In IQP, the client (Browser installed) and server (IQP server installed) environment are used for
application creation.
After applications are created, they are run using a Web browser that communicates with the
IQP server.
A relational database is installed as the core component in the IQP server.

IQP Overview
Sensor device data is stored in the relational database (or NoSQL database as an option) through
the IQP M2M protocol API, enabling IQP applications to use the stored data.
Device Connectivity
IQP supports standard open source protocols as well as maker specific protocols.
Inter-Cloud communication is also supported.

Big data handling
Displaying the amount of data depending on the device. It is used by choosing the
amount of data in Query or used by Lazy loading.
The diagram shows the overview and the relationships of the various IQP features.
 The IQP features are implemented by allocating the UI components (Widgets) in the multiple
pages (screens) which represent the parts of an App. The Queries and Functions can be
connected to these UI components.
 Widgets are categorized as Input (for example, Input Text box or Button etc.), Display (for
example, Header, Map, Table, Graph etc.), Layout (for example, Container or Repeater etc.)
and Tool (for example, Event control etc.).
 These UI components are allocated in the Design Area. Actions, Appearance, or Responsive
Patterns are set in each Property of the component.
 The core feature of the IQP is database managed by the IQP Server. The data from the
database table is connected to the UI component via Page Data area. The device control
functions provided by IQP are also connected via Page Data area.

IQP Overview
 In order to execute Queries, the Entities (database tables) have to be prepared. However,
M2M data is stored in the predefined tables by IQP.
 Events (Alert Monitoring) are defined by Event feature. As the sub-functions of the Event,
Email and Parameter features are provided.
 For the App level setting, Theme, Navigation, Settings are available. Explorer or App
Import/Export features are also provided. The App is saved in the IQP Server and it can be
previewed or executed with the click of one button.
 For the value passing among the components, the UI components and Query result fields
can be set to “Global” variables in the Page Data area for the value passing and sharing; such
as “Custom Global”, that is the variables can be defined by the developer.
Initial Menu
When you log in to the IQP server, there is a main menu that allows you to select App, Entity,
Query, Event and Management functions.
An IQP App is built with multiple pages (screens), so using the App menu enables you to easily
access each individual creation page.
