Development of an HMI Evaluation Tool Supporting Test of Interaction with IoT-Based Systems

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the hyper connection revolution, which allows the formulation of intellectual relationships including sensing, networking, and data processing, between human beings, things and services, which are three separated environments, via internet without the physical intervention of human beings, leading changes in a modern society and industries. In this study, users aim to design the IoT-AGS(Application-Gateway-Sensor) HMI system, which is based on the virtual rapid prototyping with rapid expandability and reliability, based on virtual SCC (Sensor-CPU-Communication) and wireless network, through an application and then, evaluate its performance. In the information-oriented age, the virtual prototyping considers of securing of reliability and expandability of IoT beyond its functional and physical boundaries, by reflecting users' demands and needs in a prompt manner. The suggested system managed to conduct the virtual prototyping of the wireless network HMI platform, which consists of a virtual sensor, components, related devices and applications. As for the components required for communication between IoT factors, 3 managers including Mobile Network Manager, Server Manager and M2M Manager are suggested, and processes of development, modification and evaluation are realized with the virtual prototype, testing an IoT environment and evaluating its performance. With the proper development of the virtual prototype-based IoT system, it would be possible to expect to secure the dominant position in the IoT market in terms of technologies and standardization of technologies, where there is no absolute dominator.
