The Internet of Things (IoT) was initially intended to enable data collection in difficult environments, as a human being could not stay in a harsh environment for long periods of time to collect data, so it was hoped that electronics could be used to collect this data remotely.
1, it was used earlier in environmental monitoring like marine environment monitoring.
2, and then the military began to apply earlier to collect battlefield data, because the primary purpose of the military is not the scientific and technological benefits, and the country's large military funding provides the possibility of first research applications. The information dust researched by the U.S. military has already been applied to actual warfare.
3, because the Internet of Things devices are not cheap, there are many hardware problems have not yet been solved, so from the technology and cost considerations, it is still difficult to massively popularize the civilian population for the time being. But some blueprints have been planned for its future.
aApplication in medical treatment
Continuous monitoring of patient data is a very important part of medical treatment, and it would be time-consuming and laborious to realize this with human resources. And with the Internet of Things, can be realized by the machine, and on-duty doctors and nurses for reminders and alarms and other actions, will save a lot of manpower and material resources, and the effect will be even better, like a 24-hour companion of the nurses at the side.
bApplication to the home
Smart home applications will rely on the Internet of Things to get more development, even if people are not at home can be clear and control everything at home. By then the home is like a smart computer that can be controlled by you.
c Applied to a variety of detection
Machinery repair needs to know where the mechanical failure, often through personal judgment, and then dismantle the machinery to a certain extent to detect which place has a problem. Detection with sensors in the Internet of Things can improve the efficiency of detection, by the computer to determine where there is a problem. For this has actually been realized.
Long-term quality monitoring of buildings is also needed, so that if a building has a quality problem, the IoT can automatically alert it to prevent a tragedy. And cars, airplanes and the like can also use these to improve security.
d Network security applications. The Internet of Things is also a network, it is actually an extension of the Internet, since it is part of the Internet, there are bound to be hackers, there are invasions. And the Internet of Things will be closer to the essence of people's lives than the Internet, so this aspect of network security people will be willing to spend more money to protect.
cTelecommunication services
The IoT will make cell phone calls and other means of communication even more enhanced, and one day the IoT will be part of a network called the telecom sector's other product, like phone calls and text messages.
The role of the Internet of Things is so broad that it can be combined with every industry to create a new product. The most promising ones are the ones mentioned above. Research on the Internet of Things is generally electronics, computer and communications students more. I am a communication major. Currently, I am also studying abroad to study the Internet of Things.
These are some of my current information on the Internet of Things, write out hopefully help you.
