3. Starting from the Internet
Internet appears everywhere in the world
but it is still a connection between people and people

4. What is the Internet of Things?
Internet connects all people, so it is called “the Internet of People”
IoT connects all things, so it is called “the Internet of Things”

5. What’s the Internet of Things
Definition
(1) The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a wireless network between objects, usually the network will be wireless and self-configuring, such as household appliances.
------Wikipedia
(2) By embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of additional gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication between people and things, and between things themselves.
------WSIS 2005
WSIS: World Summit on the Information Society, it’s a pair of conference about information society

9. Why Internet of Things? 1 and 2 factors are about Resource Efficiency,
Dynamic control of industry and daily life
Improve the resource utilization ratio
Better relationship between human and nature
Forming an intellectual entity by integrating human society and physical systems
Flexible configuration
Universal transport & internetworking
Accessibility & Usability
1 and 2 factors are about Resource Efficiency,
Energy conservation is a prerequisite for the Internet of Things. Therefore research producing new knowledge on how to develop more energy efficient electronics will influence the design of all electronics. Concept of energy harvesting will enable larger and larger portions of the consumed energy to be generated by ambient renewable sources available locally thus reducing the losses in long distance energy distribution.
Similar effects will be experienced by road transport and cars. Already today there are hybrid cars available harvesting the kinetic energy of the drive. This, in combination with better and more environmentally friendly energy storage in the future will make electrical vehicles achieve longer range and become more attractive alternatives.
Abundant sensory information will enable unprecedented energy optimised control. Climate control is the most energy consuming activity in modern buildings. The house could adjust the room temperatures according to the personal preferences of those in the room, and avoid heating or cooling rooms excessively without benefits to the inhabitants.

11. History of the Internet of Things
1997, “The Internet of Things” is the seventh in the seri es of ITU Internet Reports originally launched in 1997 un der the title “Challenges to the Network”.
1999, Auto-ID Center founded in MIT
2003, EPC Global founded in MIT
2005, Four important technologies of the internet of thin gs was proposed in WSIS conference. (RFID, Nano, Wirel ess sensors, smart tech)
2008, First international conference of internet of things: The IOT 2008 was held at Zurich.
Auto-ID Center focus on EPC-IOT, EPC is Electric Product Code, It’s a family of coding schemes created as a low-cost method of tracking goods using RFID Technology, it generated Auto-ID Lab and EPCGlobal, former one is to do R&D and second one is to set standard and run marketing.
Four important technologies are nano tech , wireless sensor, RFID and smart tech

21. Business Web A Platform and Marketplace for Business Services
The Business Web is a cloud-based business environment that provides access to the necessary infrastructure, applications, content, and connectivity to deliver end-to-end business services optimized for mobility and ease of participation

22. M2M Scenario – Ice Cream Cabinets
The application provides consumer products companies with detailed information about the location and status of its ice cream cabinets.
This information can be used to find these cabinets, supply them with new ice cream in time, and monitor their temperature in order to avoid ice cream becoming bad due to a defective ice cream cabinet.
The ice cream cabinets become smart items that monitor their energy consumption, send alarms, and become an active part in the companies operation processes as well as sustainability efforts.

23. IoT Configuration 2.5 millon ice cream cabinets Sensoring

31. The Challenge of IoT
Technological Standardization in most areas are still remain fragmented.
Huge amount of Data
Managing and fostering rapid innovation is a challenge for governments
Privacy and security
Testing of Multi-Discipline Systems
Absence of governance
Absence of governance is the first main challenge
One major barrier for the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things technology is the absence of governance. Without an impartial governing authority it will be impossible to have a truly global “Internet of Things”, accepted by states, companies, trade organizations and the common people. Today there is not a unique universal numbering scheme as just described: PCglobal and the Ubiquitous Networking Lab propose two different, non-
compatible ways of identifying objects, and there is the risk to have them competing in the coming future over the global market. There is also the need of keeping governance as generic as possible, as having one authority per application field will certainly lead to overlap, confusion and competition between standards. Objects can have different identities in different contexts so having multiple authorities would create a kind of multi-homing, which can lead to disastrous results.

32. Privacy Example How to convincing users that the IoT technology will
protect their data and privacy when tracking
Potential Solutions
Privacy and security
In order to have a widespread adoption of any object identification system, there is a need to have a technically sound solution to guarantee privacy and the security of the customers. While in many cases the security has been done as an add-on feature, it is the feeling that the public acceptance for the IoT will happen only when the strong security and privacy solution are in place. This could be hybrid security mechanisms that for example combine hardware security with key diversification to deliver superior security that makes attacks significantly more difficult or even impossible. The selection of ssecurity features and mechanisms will continue to be determined by the impact on business processes; and trade-offs will be made between chip size, cost, functionality, interoperability, security, and privacy. The security and privacy issues should be addressed by the forthcoming standards which must define different security features to provide confidentiality, integrity, or availability services. There are also a range of issues related to the identity of people. These must be dealt with in politics and legislation, and they are of crucial importance for the efficient public administrations of the future. Although many of the proposed technologies are based on RFID or smart systems, they will not be discussed in this report whose focus is on objects and things and the related technological and application challenges.
