3Internet of Things
3.1 Overview The concept of the so-called “Internet of Things” was first proposed by relevant personnel from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. The exact definition of “Internet of Things” refers to the connection of any items to the Internet through radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners and other information sensing equipment in accordance with agreed protocols to conduct information processing. A network that exchanges and communicates to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management .
3.2 Internet of Things Technology The core technologies of the Internet of Things include item identification technology represented by RFID, sensing and transmission technology, network and communication technology, data processing and storage, and smart object technology represented by 3C integration, etc. By relying on micro-sensor chip technology, intelligence and wireless network technology, people and things, and things and things can “communicate”, achieving the interconnection of all things. It can be used in many fields such as urban public security, industrial production, environmental monitoring , intelligent transportation, smart homes, and public health. Its main system architecture is divided into perception layer, network layer, and application layer, which respectively realize data perception measurement, information transmission and communication, and various application services.
3.3 Development and expectations of the Internet of Things The United States, Europe, Japan and other countries have increased research and investment in the Internet of Things in recent years, establishing application test platforms, formulating strategic plans, and establishing working groups, etc. China has always attached great importance to research on the Internet of Things, and related work has been launched since the 1990s. On October 8, 2010, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established the Chinese Academy of Sciences Internet of Things Research and Development Center. On November 28, 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Internet of Things”. After years of development, my country’s Internet of Things industrial policy environment has been continuously improved, the industrial system has been initially established, innovative results have continued to emerge, application demonstrations have continued to deepen, and the scale has been formed. Specifically reflected in: public network machines.
The number of machine-to-machine (M2M) connections has exceeded 100 million; there have been achievements and breakthroughs in the fields of chips, sensors, intelligent terminals, middleware, architecture, and standard formulation; and quality and efficiency improvements in industry, agriculture, energy, logistics and other industries. However, there are still problems such as weak industrial ecological competitiveness, weak industrial chain coordination, imperfect standard system, and insufficient integration of the Internet of Things and the industry. On January 17, 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated and issued the information and communication industry development plan for the Internet of Things, proposing to promote the large-scale application of the Internet of Things as the main line, proposing the direction, focus and path of the development of the Internet of Things in my country in the next five years, and more clearly requiring the acceleration of the development of the Internet of Things in the next five years.
