2. The Internet of Things
• Let’s start with some generic definition:
+
?

3. The Internet of Things
• The purpose:
Sense & Control
Things
Sense Communicate Interact

4. The Internet of Things
• Sensing

5. The Internet of Things
• Communicating

6. The Internet of Things
• Interacting

7. The (recent) Past
• Many DIY- community projects
o Evolution of Open Hardware (Arduino, Flyport, etc.)
• Some commercial devices
o Self-Tracking domain (very popular)
o Home Automation (Philips Hue Connected Light bulb)

8. The Present
The Connected Body
The Connected Home
Connected Cities +
Mobility
The Connected Industry

9. The Present
• QuantifiedSelf
o Devices for self tracking
• New Interfaces

10. The Present
• QuantifiedSelf
o Devices for self tracking

11. The Present
• QuantifiedSelf
o Devices for self tracking
• Features ?
o Collect and visualize information
• Performance
• Habits
o Motivate
• Social features
• Reminders
o + great space for improvement…

12. The Present
• The Connected Home
• Home Automation & Control
o Indoor location services
o Power monitor and remote control
o Lights
o Irrigation systems

13. The Present
• The Connected Home
• Home Automation & Control
o Smart Door Locks and Access Management
o Smart Gateways (fusion of networking technologies)
o Fire-Smoke Detectors
o Thermostats
o …

14. The Present
• The Connected Home
• Features:
o Control remotely
o Generate reports (energy, etc.)
o Better (?) automation
• Lowest market penetration = huge space for
improvement

15. The Present
• The Connected City
o Vehicle and Traffic Management
o Parking systems
o Waste management

16. The Present
• The Connected City
o Sensing & Crowdsourcing data

17. The Present
• The Connected Industry
o Location services (Assets, People)
o Security
o Payment

18. The Present
• The Connected Industry
o Pricing - Promotion
o Packaging

19. The Present
• The Connected Industry
• Features
o Promoting services based on geo-location
o Simplify payment
• Open space for fusion of services {home, car,
appliance sensing with retail}

22. Internet of
Things
{How?}

23. Internet of Things
Things
Services

24. Things
• Smartify = Sense & Control
• Brain (microcontroller-
microprocessor)
• Sensors
• Actuators
• Communication interfaces
(&protocols)

25. Prototyping

26. Prototyping

27. Sensing
• Gas & Air quality
• Barometric pressure
• Temperature & Humidity
• Light & Sound
• Motion
• Flex & Force
• Position
• Magnetic fields
• Electricity
• Biometrics

28. Sensing
• Proximity & Presence
• Weight
• Liquids & Liquid flow
• Radiation
• …

29. (Re)Acting
• Move things (motors)
• Activate (switches)
• Interfaces
o Sound
o Light
o Displays
• Remote interfaces
o Social
o Email, text, …
o Phone (twillio)

30. When prototyping…

31. Communicating

32. Communicating
• No golden solution!
• You will always need a gateway!
• The questions are:
o Range
o Power consumption
o What gateways are already available

33. Communicating
• Wearables:
o Small size -> small battery, but great autonomy
o Smartphone as a gateway
o Short range -> BT and BLE
• Home automation:
o WiFi router available
o If power is an issue -> ZigBee or RF

34. Protocols
• Web based:
• HTTP
o REST
o WebSockets
• M2M (lower resources + actuation)
o MQTT
o CoAP
o XMPP
o STOMP
o …

35. Services
Web Mobile
Web

36. Part B
Let’s talk about building your own IoT Environment

37. What does it take on the
back-end?
• Application server
• Database system
• Setup & Maintenance
• Scalability? -> Cloud environment
• Provide APIs
o Bring more users, external apps
• Support external APIs
• Support M2M protocols
• …..

38. What does it take on the
back-end?
