Diversity Of IoT Applications, Trend Of Civil Use Purpose Is Obviously

The initial application of the Internet of things can be traced back to 1990, when Xerox made the Networked Coke Machine for coke; later in 1999, Professor Ashton put forward the concept of the connection of things when studying RFID. Therefore, the initial idea of the Internet of things lies in the interconnection among commodities, logistics, and supply chain. This technology, which realizes the interconnection of things through RFID technology, product electronic code, and Internet technology, has become the cradle of the development of modern logistics and warehousing, and the Internet of things has also been frequently used in cargo tracking, warehousing management application, port application and postal express package and so on.

In addition to logistics and warehousing, the Internet of things is also used for intelligent transportation management. The intelligent transportation system (ITS) improves the security, transportation efficiency, and manageability of the transportation system by applying the Internet of things technology in infrastructure and transportation tools. Compared with the traditional "increase capacity" method of traffic decompression, it can analyze and dispatch the maximum optimized utilization rate of traffic equipment through roadside sensors, radio frequency tags, vehicle wireless communication equipment, etc., which is a way to solve the problem.

With the increasing global demand for energy conservation and emission reduction in recent years, the United States, Japan, Europe, including China and other countries have launched the "smart grid" upgrading plan. Smart grid can automatically maintain the normal operation of the system without any intervention; seamlessly connect different types of generation points and energy storage equipment, realize plug-and-play; realize two-channel communication with users, and promote the common construction of the power system. The most basic application of the smart grid is a smart meter, which has been widely used in the first and second-tier cities.

The Internet of things applications represented by intelligent logistics, intelligent transportation, and smart grid, they are mostly public or commercial use. In recent years, the concepts of "smart earth" and "smart city" are basically government-oriented. However, with the infiltration of the concept of the Internet of things and the inevitable demand of the development of the information age, the application of the Internet of things gradually began to appear in the personal application market, and the trend of the civil use application became more and more obvious, which to a certain extent marks the development of the Internet of things industry is becoming more and more mature. Here lists the trend of the civil use purpose of the Internet of things based on several popular applications.

1. Intelligent medical and healthy care: intelligent medical monitoring system

WIT120 is a newly rising medical term. General intelligent medical care consists of three parts: an intelligent hospital system, a regional health system, and a family health system. At present, the family health system is not very popular. However, due to the common problems of the society, such as the difficulty of medical treatment, the difficulty of registration and the imbalance of medical resources, the intelligent medical system can play a very effective role for improvement, so the intelligent hospital system and the regional health system are slowly entering people's lives.

Take the intelligent medical monitoring system as an example: This is an intelligent system composed of electronic medical records, remote monitoring, electronic patrol, remote rescue, mobile service, and other modules. Through the establishment of personal electronic health files, when patients are treated in any hospital, they can let doctors know their own medical history, examination conditions, medication information, X-ray films, test results, etc. instead of repeating diagnosis and test every time they go to a hospital, they can reduce the time of meeting a doctor and the reuse of medical resources. Through ambulance monitoring and remote rescue, hospital staff can form wireless video monitoring through TD technology, learn the situation in the first time, provide guidance for on-site rescue, and make full preparation for reception.

In the field of family health, there are many Internet hardware companies participating in it. For example, Healthkit, a health application of Apple, can monitor a series of body data such as blood status, respiratory rate, body vitality, heart rate, Oxygen content, weight, water content, blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, nutrition value, etc.; Besides, Samsung's health application, SiMBAnd, which can monitor the heartbeat and Oxygen level.

2. Smart campus: campus one-card system

The campus in the information age can not do without the information management. Smart campus generally takes the campus one-card system as the core content. In a radio frequency card, it can realize many functions, such as student status management, life consumption, identity authentication, online payment, etc. Due to the unified management, the campus one-card solution is easier to achieve than city one-card solution, which is very conducive to the improvement of the campus information management level. The problems and experience accumulation found in the operation of campus one-card solution can provide the first support for the city one-card solution.

Campus one-card system is composed of a digital campus center platform, campus card management center platform of academic affairs and finance, and application system platforms, with functions of consumption settlement, identity recognition, financial services, self-service query, etc. In addition to the access control function, the cardholder of the campus card can make personal consumption expenditure in the campus (such as canteen, library, sports center, copy room, electronic control, etc.), due to the local sales terminal is used, offline consumption can be carried out, so the transaction time and cost will be greatly shortened.

3. Smart consumption: retroactive code and smart payment

The personal consumption market is one of the most dynamic markets, so the application of the ioT in intelligent consumption will agent much vitality for the iOT market.

With the improvement of food safety awareness, many products have started the use of traceability codes. Consumers can trace every process of the production of the product with the proprietary label on each product, which plays a role in quality control and supervision to a certain extent. As early as 2004, Yili started the traceability system of infant milk powder. At first, it used digital code to collect data manually. By 2006, it used a one-dimensional code, and in 2011, it began to use two-dimensional code.

Intelligent payment is a hot technology product in recent years. Ali's face-scanning payment system, Apple's fingerprint authentication, Alipay and Yintai's code payment for smart payment. Intelligent payment is not only applicable offline, but also online. Other biometric authentication technology to online payment also used in platforms, such as: intelligent identification, intelligent products, self-service equipment, Network communication, security monitoring, as well as the above-mentioned intelligent medical treatment and one-card solution products. It is believed that there will be more and more cases of using non-civilian technology such as security to consumers in the future.

4. Smart home: home appliance control

The forms of the smart home are various, which can be generally divided into home appliance control system, light control system, audio-visual control system, face recognition system, door and window control system, security control system, etc. The home appliance control system is composed of home appliance terminal, control module, and control platform software. The householder can remotely control and manage the home appliance through mobile phone and computer terminal at any time, such as: instruct the washing machine to work, check the food storage in the refrigerator, check whether the gas is off, etc. In the future, even without the instructions of the householder, "Internet of things refrigerator", "Internet of things TV", "Internet of things kitchenware" will automatically carry out the optimal use configuration and interactive coordination of household appliances according to the householder's pre-set wishes.

With smart home, life will become very interesting: when it rains, the window magnetic sensor will automatically close the window; when the householder goes to the corridor in the evening, the light sensor will automatically turn on the electric light; when there is no fruit in the refrigerator, the online refrigerator will automatically order online; when the householder goes out, the gas sensor, smoke sensor, infrared radiation sensor, etc. will monitor the indoor conditions at any time.

In order to develop a mature civil use market, the Internet of Things needs to be low-cost, safe, and practical. For the popularization of the Internet of things, the road is still long and tortuous. But just as the saying goes, there will be a market if there is demand, the civilian use of the Internet of things will be the direction and trend of the promotion of the Internet of things in the future, we believe it will not wait too long.
