The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of uniquely identifiable objects that can transfer data without human intervention, evolving from a blend of wireless technologies and the internet. It encompasses various applications and allows for connectivity, monitoring, management, and control of everyday items, while facing challenges related to security, privacy, and resource efficiency. The document provides an overview of IoT's functionality, scope in daily routines, and the technological and societal issues it encounters.

Internet of
Things?
Figure 7

7. 1. INTRODUCTION
It is also known as: Internet of Objects, Machine-to-
Machine Era, Internet of Everything
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which
objects, animals or people are provided with unique
identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network
without requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction. IoT has evolved from the
convergence of wireless technologies,
micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the
Internet.

8. 1.1 Terminology
• The term Internet of Things was first used by Kevin
Ashton in 1999.
• Refers to uniquely identifiable objects (things) and
their virtual representations

9. 1.2 What is a thing?
A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a
heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip
transponder, an automobile that has
built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is
low -- or any other natural or man-made object that can
be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability
to transfer data over a network.

10. 1.3 Physical World + Cloud + Devices =
Internet of Things
Figure 8

11. 2. HOW IT WORKS
User will provide an identity (IP Address) and senses to any
thing/object, then via communication protocols it needs to communicate
this with the cloud. For eg. If user want to know that someone is sitting
on any chair(thing), then he will give an IP address(255.255.255.0) to
chair and then from the sensors, pressure sensor will work and
communicate with the cloud when someone is sitting on the chair.

16. 3.1a Connect with Things
Figure 10
connect with daily routine things like car, light, home etc

17. 3.1b Monitor Things
Figure 11
Let us suppose that a person is wearing an IOT device and he has a
disease. The device will keep monitoring the disease remotely from the
hospital, and if it finds any situation where the patients condition is no
stable, it will generate alarms to the doctor or their loved ones.

18. 3.3c Search for Things
Figure 12
with the unique identity to the each device we can search things

19. 3.3d Manage Things
Figure 13
when you are aware of state of all devices you can
easily manage them.

20. 3.3e Control Things
Figure 14
IOT machine can
control machines. For
e.g a centralized
meter in house
connected to smart
grid can decide as
how much electricity
particular house needs
and will supply
electricity according to
need.
