Tech outlook 2018

摘要

As more devices are getting linked to the internet, connectivity is growing exponentially and getting extended to appliances such as televisions, home appliances, cards etc. For the various connected Internet of things to work, they need to have common language for interaction and data exchange regardless of the type of devices and wireless connection networks. Software standardization initiatives for loT are designed to be embedded in a vast gamut of devices across manufacturers, operating systems and wireless links such as Wi-Fior Bluetooth. As devices get connected through common standards, they can work in conjunction, for example a motion of temperature sensor can work with other nearby connected sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerom-eters, door and window locks, video camera, light bulb or speakers which alert the owner. Smart environments are embedded with sensors which collect data across distributed locations. Sensors enable enterprises to monitor a phenomenon remotely and transmit the information to other sensors or to a control unit. Embedding sensors, controllers, devices and data into the physical spaces of human beings facilitates immersive interactions and mul-ti-modal interfaces, resulting in seamless experiences. Given below are some key enterprise trends from leveraging smart environments:1. Connect and engage end customers accessing products and services via multitude of devices such as mobile, TV, sensors, appliances as well as via multitude of delivery and interaction channels.
