Introduction to IOT

Introduction to IOT

Internet of Things (IoT) is basically a concept that connects all the devices to the internet and let them communicate with each other over the internet. IoT is a huge network of connected devices – all of which collect and share data about how they are used and the environments in which they are operated.

Introduction to IoT – Internet Of Things


Origin and Impact

Defining the Internet of things as "simply the point in time when more 'things or objects' were connected to the Internet than people", Cisco Systems estimated that the IoT was "born" between 2008 and 2009, the term Internet of Things is 16 years old. But the actual term “Internet of Things” was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 during his work at Procter & Gamble. Ashton who was working in supply chain optimization, wanted to attract senior management's attention to a new exciting technology called RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification).

There are significant positive impact of the IoT on citizens, businesses and governments, ranging from helping governments reduce healthcare costs and improving quality of life, to reducing carbon footprints, increasing access to education in remote underserved communities, and improving transportation safety apart form this is efficient and saves time. .

Building Blocks of IOT

Four basic things to form building block of IoT system these are:

  • ·       Sensors
  • ·       Processors
  • ·       Gateways
  • ·       Applications

Each of the given entity has its own characteristics in order to synthesize a useful and more practical IoT system.


IOT Design and Development Considerations

In order to survive in the industry of Internet of Things (IoT). It is very essential to connect different products to IoT, and providing extra features to consumers more preciously to explore the capabilities of IoT. It also allows the manufacturer to stay connected with their customer while discovering new product use cases and applications that open them up to new revenue streams. When designing your first IoT device, there are some most important things to keep in mind:

  • ·       Cost
  • ·       Features
  • ·       User interface
  • ·       Power
  • ·       Size
  • ·       Antenna
  • ·       Network
  • ·       Cloud
  • ·       Interoperability
  • ·       Security

 

 Security Considerations Using IOT

Some most important security concerns to have in mind before developing an IOT app:

  • ·         Privacy.
  • ·         Hardware issues.
  • ·         Encryption of data.
  • ·         Web interface.
  • ·         Less network awareness.
  • ·         Insecure software.
  • ·         Side channel attacks.
  • ·         Rogue IoT devices.
  •  Secure IoT Through Framework, Design and Deployment Considerations


Opportunities with IOT

IoT business opportunities

  • ·         Medical and fitness spheres. Fitness wearables are not new to us and it seems that they are connected to the Internet as they communicate with our smartphones.
  • ·         Industrial internet of things.
  • ·         Smart cities.
  • ·         Smart houses


IOT in Enterprise

Enterprise Internet of Things or simply Enterprise IoT is the next advancement in technology that enables physical 'things' with embedded computing devices (tiny computers) to participate in business processes for reducing manual work and increasing overall business efficiency. In simple word it will provide ability for IoT to solve business-related problems, improve performance and efficiency and can scale up the way enterprise does business.

Smart Parking System Using Arduino Uno

Image
Smart Parking System Using Arduino Uno Hello everyone! Today, we will learn how to design a smart parking system using HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, buzzer, LCD, and Arduino Uno. Constraints and Conditions took under consideration - Ø   The ultrasonic sensor module place near the gate entrance continuously checks for the incoming vehicles. The LCD display “Smart Parking” on the first row and “Avail. slot: XY” on the second row of the display. Ø   When a vehicle comes closer to the ultrasonic sensor detection area and parking slot is available then the system open a gate the barrier to 90° (close after 10 seconds) to allow the vehicle to the parking slot and decrement parking slot by 1. Ø   If no parking slot is available then display a message “No Parking slot” on LCD (2 nd line) and switch on the buzzer (for 5 Seconds). Have a similar system on the exit and increment the free slot by 1 for every vehicle that leaves the parking slot. Simulate and veri...

Phishing attacks  are the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a reputable source. It is usually done through email. The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information, or to install malware on the victim's machine. Why attackers perform phishing attack? ·                   Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user dat...

Generate sequence of different waveform using MATLAB

Image
AIM: To generate sequence of different signals and to perform several operations on signals using MATLAB simulator. SOFTWARE USED: MATLAB TASK : Generate the following signals using MATLAB        Unit step        Unit ramp      Exponential      Sinusoidal              Exponential TASK LOGIC: This example shows how to generate widely used periodic and aperiodic waveforms. For plotting the required sequence we have to first create an array of 1’s using ones() command and an array of vectors (n) also. After this using proper alignment of array of 1’s and array of vector values (n) we can create any of the above mentioned sequence.   Plotting Unit step, Unit ramp, Exponential and Sinusoidal sequence:   CODE: clc; clear all ; close all ; N=21; x=ones(1,N); n=0:1:N-1; subplot(2,2,1); stem(n,x); %Plotting Unit step function xlabel( 'n' ); ylabel( 'x(n...
