The Internet of Things is a HUGE Idea. It encompasses Consumer Devices, Connected Devices, Industrial Sensors, and Huge Amounts of Data. What if all of those "Things" could work beautifully in harmony, to create a complete a symphony of Real World interactions that removed friction from every aspect of our lives. Octoblu lets everyone from the Tech Dunce to the Computer Science Professor easily, and quickly connect the things that are important to you.

2. If we can think past the
Industrial Internet of
Things

3. Forgetting about
prediction sensors in
gizmos, toasters,
doohickeys, & jet
engines….

4. The (not industrial)
Internet of Things
is …

5. The UI for Hyper
Connected, Real
World, Physical
Spaces

6. User Interface &
User EXperience are
being re-defined by the
IoT

7. While at the same time
UI & UX are defining
the adoption of the IoT

8. The Internet Of Things
is like a Symphony…

9. When the Maestro is in
complete control, and all of
the instruments are in
sync…

10. The music can be so
beautiful it inspires
humanity to reach new
levels of thought!

11. But, if even 1
chair is out of
time…

12. Patrons, will not
be forgiving!

13. Patrons a.k.a Consumer
Adoption is the biggest
driver of IOT

14. But in this case consumers
include SMB, Enterprise
AND Individual People!

15. So we have a 3x greater
chance of resonating with
an audience than
Bluetooth did in 1989

16. But Only IF
(drumroll please)…

17. We can create
Experiences that
Enhance our the way we
interact with the World
Around Us

19. Cross Protocol Messaging Platform
Meshblu
✓
Communicate across CoAP, MQTT,
HTTP/s, etc…
✓
Device Registration / Registered Device
Directory
✓ UUID/Token Device Authentication
✓
Device Authorization with
White/Blacklists
✓ Secured Message Encryption
✓ Public/Private/Device Deployment
✓ Open Source

20. Fixed & Mobile gateways for connecting
devices to Meshblu and Octoblu
Gateblu
✓ Device Plugin Manger
✓ Platform Agnostic
✓ Supports Native Device Protocols
i.e. Bluetooth & AllJoyn
✓ Secured Message Encryption
✓ Gateblu is OpenSource
Mobiblu

21. Web Based Application For
Managing Devices, Messages, &
Communication Flow
Octoblu
✓
UI For Managing Devices, Channels,
and Flows
✓ UI Based Device Configuration
✓
UI For Managing Communication Between
Nodes
✓ Process Monitoring of Flows & Devices
✓ Tablet Enabled Flow Designer
✓
Big Data Analytics & Basic Machine
Learning
✓ Drag & Drop UI

22. Octobl
u
Core Components:
Node:
Anything that can send/receive data i.e. Person,
Service, Sensor, Phone, Flow etc…
UUID:
Every Node has a Unique Identifier and can be
addressed by any other node
JSON:
Data for all Communication between nodes is
serialized into JSON
Flow:
Series of actions and interactions of nodes,
which manages how data flows from input to exit
API:
Simple Machine to Machine (M2M)
Communication with or without UI based Flows.

23. All M2M Over GateBlu/MeshBlu/Octoblu
✓ Tracked in real time
✓ Accessable via API
✓ Actionable as Trigger for All other Nodes
✓ Can be Analyzed using Splunk
✓ Naive Machine Learning with Splunk
✓ Sent to a specific UUID
✓ Visible on the Dashboard

24. Machines, Applications &
API’s that know nothing
about each other ….

25. Can communicate with Sensors &
Devices that they don’t know how
to see or hear…

26. Allowing even a novice to set up
a chain reaction of lights, locks,
temperature, displays, and
MUCH more…

27. Transforming an ordinary
space into a
ConnectedSpace.

28. Configuring
Nodes
Octoblu
There will then be a list of
nodes available to be
configured
For the example select the
Twillio
Node and Activate it

29. Configuring
Nodes
Octoblu
Activation (oAuth) is as simple
as:
Facebook Login

30. Once a Node is
configured, it is available
for use in a Flow.

31. A Flow is a series of
connections between
services || devices that
create a chain reaction

32. Transform the
Office
Connected Space Concept 1:

33. Connected Space Concept 1: The Conference Room.
✓
Has a Dedicated
computer/appleTV/RaspberryPi
✓ Has a Dedicated Screen
✓ Has a Dedicated Conference Ready Phone
✓ Uses GoToMeeting / ShareFile / Podio
✓
Uses Company Email For
Correspondence

34. Connected Space Concept 1: The Conference Room.
✓
Email Reminder sent 1 hour before
meeting starts
✓
First Person Arrives => GoToMeeting
Launches
✓ Video Displays On Screen
✓
Twillio Calls into Phone to Connect with
GTM
✓ Meeting Begins Recording
✓
Last Person Leaves => GTM Closes
Meeting
✓
Email a link to the recording to all
participants

35. Connected Space Concept 1: The Conference Room.
✓ I am on a GoToMeeting at My Desk
✓
I Open GoToMeeting On My Mobile
Device
✓ I Arrive at the Conference Room
✓
GoToMeeting Connects on the
Dedicated Box
✓ Twillio Calls into the Conference Room
✓
Dedicated Display begins showing the
Meeting

36. This has really
been done
Connected Space Concept 1:

37. almost entirely
with
Drag-and-Drop

40. Connected Space Concept 2: Connected Commerce
✓
I have a smart phone with Bluetooth
Enabled/On
✓
Custom Application that Responds to
Beacons
✓ I Pass a Storefront
✓ Storefront serves me a notification

41. Many Beacon
companies have their
own app ‘like’ this.
Connected Space Concept 2:

42. Problems with the
model:
Connected Space Concept 2:

43. NO ONE wants to be
Notified that much!!
Connected Space Concept 2:

44. Solution for the
problem:
Connected Space Concept 2:

45. Use the beacons
to send user
behavior data
silently
Connected Space Concept 2:

46. collect big data,
and use the
analysis
Connected Space Concept 2:

47. to only raise
specific, carefully
curated
notifications
Connected Space Concept 2:

48. Solution using
Octoblu:
Connected Space Concept 2:

49. Instead of raising
the notification on
the consumers
phone
Connected Space Concept 2:

50. Or Losing an
opportunity to
engage with the
customer
Connected Space Concept 2:

51. Send the
Notification to the
Closest In
Store/Window
Connected Space Concept 2:

52. and load the stores
website custom
tailored with an
experience for ME!
Connected Space Concept 2:

53. This can be as
simple as:
Connected Space Concept 2:

54. Connected Space Concept 2:

55. All of which
achieves the main
3 goals
