After the electronic computer and Internet technology, the global information industry chain has entered the third wave, the Internet of Things.

Along with the rapid development of IoT technology, IoT has penetrated in all aspects of daily life. Can you imagine a scenario like that, if you come home from work and return home as soon as you pull open the door of your room, the lighting effect lights up, the central air conditioner is turned on, the curtain cloth is opened, the favorite melody plays, the hot water has been boiled for you,embedded module and the freshly ground coffee is being prepared for you in advance. This kind is all the reflection of the Internet of Things and smart home products. Smart home system is a system containing home furniture integrated wiring system, smart home control intelligent management system, home application system, home lighting automatic control system, home intelligent security system, public broadcasting system, home theater set and multimedia software, home atmosphere automatic control system and other eight smart home control system software.

Smart home system is just the tip of the iceberg of the Internet of Things in daily life, in people's work, life, the Internet of Things has been various aspects of our daily life to give service projects, intelligent Internet of Things, change daily life. So what are the common applications of IoT in people's life?

1. Intelligent car

Is in the general car basically enhance the excellent sensor (radar, shooting), control board, electric actuators and other equipment, according to the vehicle-type sensor system software and information terminal equipment to complete and people, cars, roads and other intelligent information exchange, so that the car has intelligent indoor environment cognitive ability, can analyze the car driving safety protection and risk situation, and make the car in accordance with the intention of people to reach the end Finally, the purpose of replacing the use of people is completed.

2. Intelligent street light

IoT-capable street lights can now "communicate" with public administrators in major cities several kilometers away, pushing IoT data information about power engineering applications, and remotely controlling the adjustment of lighting effects to fill local natural environmental standards - for example, dimming lights on moonlit nights. -for example, to dim the light effect on moonlit nights, or to brighten the light effect during heavy rain and foggy days. The ability to adjust roadway lights based on climate can save resources and reduce resource costs.

3. Autopilot quadcopter (UAV)

Crude oil and gas exploration companies, mining companies, and agribusinesses are already using overhead UAVs equipped with IoT sensors to oversee remotely controlled, inaccessible areas and to produce data charts that accurately measure metric values such as soil composition and water content. The ability to implement such practical operations remotely can save time on site and reduce the safety risks when staff are assigned to remote and unknown areas.

4. Logistics tracking and freight logistics situation

Today's main freight logistics medium is a truck equipped with sensors, so that you can track the status of transport along the way, select the best transport routes, track the length of time, etc.. In many cases, sensors are also used to track the driver's rate, brake pedal habit, etc., to ensure the most reliable and environmentally friendly driving personal behavior.

5. Monitoring system/tracking Alzheimer's patients

According to IoT sensors to track people suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorders, when they leave home and can not find the way back. In addition, IoT sensors can also serve as a safety net for potentially risky situations. For example, sensors can be placed on additional burners to prevent them from being left unattended.

6. Smart Healthcare

Smart healthcare is a recent emergence of dedicated medical term, and is also a new area of key IOT technologies. According to the use of the most modern IOT technicality, China Unicom a variety of diagnostic and treatment instruments and equipment, hardware configuration, complete the interactive communication between patients and medical personnel, designated medical institutions, medical equipment in the middle, gradually do information technology, build a reasonable and effective diagnosis and treatment information service platform.

In the hospital, medical staff can grasp the patient's medical history information and new diagnosis and treatment report according to PAD anytime and anywhere, and quickly formulate the treatment plan; medical staff can also view the image diagnosis materials and medical advice at any time; at the same time, the treatment information service platform can help several hospital outpatient clinics reasonably share the resource patient's medical information and medical history.

7. Smart Wearable Products

Smart wearable products are the best-selling products in the pre-Internet of Things key technology. Smart bracelets, smart sports bracelets and other wearable goods have caused many customers to care once they are introduced, and their functionality is shown in video voice care, health monitoring and other levels. Customers can not only count their own physical and mental health real-time data, and at the same time can submit data synchronization specific guidance physical and mental health. And at this stage, along with the technological iteration of the Internet of Things, the design concept of smart wear products also tends to improve, will be more in line with the real needs of customers.

8. Traffic and travel infrastructure construction

Setting sensors at key points on roads and high-speed railroads allows major cities to monitor the physical and mental health of traffic and travel infrastructure construction, and its regulation of things like traffic flow and congestion. This IoT sensor sends information back to the head office and is used to inform drivers of congestion points and to give reserved routes. It is also used to predict and analyze what common failures are imminent, so that maintenance personnel can be assigned to problematic points to overhaul sensitive machinery and equipment before they specifically create common failures (and traffic jams).

9. Mobile device tracking

Bicycle sharing is a good use.

10. Machine and equipment diagnosis and preventive maintenance in factories

Along with the manufacturer's choice of 21st century practices, machinery and equipment in factories are equipped with a variety of sensors that can automatically push alerts to the central factory operation inspection internet when they detect bad parts or other criteria that are likely to open common failures. In this way, the manufacturer can take the machine and equipment offline, update the manufacturing operation again, and repair the commonly faulty machine and equipment before it generates common failures that are likely to stop working.
