9 likes4,298 views
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and provides guidance for developers. It defines IoT as everyday devices that are connected to the internet and share information. It predicts that the number of connected devices will grow dramatically in coming years. The document outlines several technologies that enable IoT, such as Bluetooth, sensors, and miniaturized computing devices. It advises developers to avoid lock-in, ensure security and privacy, and consider legal issues when building IoT applications and services.

- 10. Where is IoT • Healthcare • Fitness • Home automation • Industrial • Connected / autonomous car • Wearable computing • Shipping / Transportation • Travel • Shopping / Retail • Smart Appliances • Entertainment
- 11. Smart Devices • Beacons • Android Wear • Apple Watch • Google Glass • Raspberry Pi • Arduino • Set top boxes • FitBit • Ninja Blocks • Emotiv EPOC • Nest Thermostat • PTZ Web Cam • Existing computers, smartphones, tablets. etc.
- 12. What are Beacons? • Broadcast only Bluetooth LE device • Provides signal strength for range estimate • Useful to enhance location data (indoors and specific proximity) • Big brother of RFID and NFC
- 13. Computer Miniaturization & Commoditization • Small and Everywhere • Ardunio, Raspberry Pi, etc. • Sub $50 consumer project devices • Arduino defines standard with multiple manufacturers • Smart Devices Arduino Gemma Rasp Pi 2 BeagleBoard Black Electric Imp
- 14. Device Characteristics • Sensors • Data Collection • Data Analysis • Miniaturization • Discoverability TI CC2541 SensorTag Development Kit - $25
- 15. Connectivity • Internet everywhere! • Bluetooth LE (Smart) • Z-Wave & Zigbee, etc. • LiFi • Google Thread • IPv6 • Beacons • NFC • WiFi Direct
- 17. Bluetooth Low Energy / Smart • Part of Bluetooth 4.0 standard • Defines standard characteristics (GATT) • Device and functionality discoverability • Does not require pairing • Use utilities like “LightBlue” to interrogate
- 18. Development Considerations • Watch Emerging standards • Avoid Network lock-in • Avoid Platform lock-in • Privacy • Security • Legal
- 19. Avoiding Network Lock-in • Don’t let someone else own your data • Use BaaS like Parse • Use self storage or custom cloud (Amazon, etc.) • Never use iCloud • Imagine if you had a different Twitter or email account for each phone, tablet, computer, etc.
- 20. Avoid Platform Lock-in • Users have multiple devices & platforms • You can’t only be on one platform • Avoid platform centric development tools • Maintaining multiple codebases means feature leapfrog • Know advantages over native vs. web technologies
- 21. Privacy • Be clear with your users about privacy • Users getting more comfortable with data sharing • Follow your privacy policy
- 22. Security • Encrypt your transmissions • Encrypt your storage • Use proven security standards • Be educated about security
- 23. Legal • Understand how the law relates to your product and service • There are legal standards around “medical devices” • Legal compliance is important
- 24. Common APIs • Direct Bluetooth • Direct REST / JSON • Indirect REST / JSON • Custom SDK • Ondevice execution (Linux or Android) • IFTTT, Tasker, WebSockets, PubNub, etc.
