The document discusses developing mobile IoT applications for a connected world. It explains that the aim of IoT is to reduce errors through automation and improve operational efficiency. By 2020, each person will own 19 connected devices. Popular IoT application areas include smart homes, wearables, retail, industrial uses, connected cars, smart farming, and healthcare. When developing mobile IoT apps, developers should consider using a layered architecture with things, actuators, cloud servers and analytics. The choice of platform and solving real problems are also important, as is embedding security.

2. Aim Of IoT
The primary aim of IoT is to cut down the amount of manual errors and
discrepancies that arise as a result of manual intervention. It will help
businesses to sharpen their operational accuracy, improve functional
efficiency and also deliver a superior user experience.
The positive impact of IoT will be visible across multiple industries
including (but not limited to) manufacturing, healthcare, retail, eCommerce,
power & energy management, connected automobiles among many
others.

3. The Future of IoT

4. Uses of IoT Applications
By 2020 each person in this planet will be owning at least 19 connected
devices. Internet of Things, a.k.a IoT can be rightly called the Fourth
Industrial Revolution of this century which will empower everyday Things,
ranging from home appliances to cloud applications software and servers
to interact with each other for smarter living.
Internet of Things examples extend from smart connected homes to
wearables to healthcare. In fact, IoT is slowly becoming part of every
aspect of our lives. Not only are Internet of Things applications enhancing
our comfort, but they also give us more control to simplify routine work life
and personal tasks.

6. IoT Applications
We know the potential of IoT markets is huge, but some domains will
mature more quickly than the rest. Here are Internet of Things application
areas that have the potential for exponential growth.
 Smart Homes
 Wearables
 IoT Retail Applications
 Industrial IoT
 Connected Cars
 Smart Farming Applications
 Smart Health Care Applications

8. Developing Mobile IoT Apps
Here are some things to bear in mind while IoT mobile applications:
1. Layered Architecture of IoT mobile apps:
Mobile IoT apps have several layers underlying them. The first and foremost
layer is the thing itself. Next to the Thing is the actuator or another Thing to
which the first Thing communicates to exchange data. Thirdly, there would be a
cloud server or cloud application software which will gather data from the
Things.
Finally, there will be analytics to decipher the meaning from the data collected
from all of the above components. A mobile iot app android can be positioned
anywhere in the above levels. It can help users to trigger information or to
collect data from them or even do the analytics part.

2. Choice of Platform
Mobile IoT app development being a relatively new field and with few
players taking it mainstream, the choice of platform for IoT mobile app
development is a tough choice to make.
Tech behemoths like IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Apple are some of the players
who have placed high stakes to develop iot applications but have also
developed specific platforms upon which IoT app development companies
can build their own mobile apps for Iot devices.
Some such examples include:
IBM Watson
Google Brillo
Microsoft Azure IoT Suite
Apple HomeKit

3. Solve a problem
In the Digital Age, connectivity is productivity. However, for a mobile IoT app for
android or iPhone to succeed in the market, it must solve a real-life problem. An
IoT app that connects devices and people together is not anything great unless
it solves a problem.
Some problems which IoT can solve easily include:
Manufacturing: Automating machine tracking, real-time inventory
management, ensuring flow optimization, etc.
Smart cities: Automated traffic systems, smart power grids, home security
systems, elderly monitoring systems, etc.
Wearables: Fitness trackers, employee safety wearables, smartwatch, etc.
Connected Cars: Personalized infotainment, usage based insurance, Vehicle
2 Vehicle communication, geo-location tracking, etc.

4. Embedding applications with security
The IoT applications are built on many different technologies and platforms,
including power management devices, sensors and microprocessors. Hence,
performance and security requirements vary significantly from one application
to another. But an IoT apps require user confidence in robust, easy-to-use, fail-
safe security capabilities.
This requires mobile IoT app builders to think proactively and build IoT mobile
apps that are high on security. Embedded IoT devices with encryption,
firmware, device safety, etc. need to be setup to ensure longer life span of the
device and also user lifetime value.
