What exactly is the Internet of Things, can you talk about it in layman s terms?

What does the Internet of Things mean?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new technology that implicitly refers to the interconnection between various sensors and the existing "Internet".

The technical idea of the Internet of Things is to "connect everything according to demand", with perception technology and network communication technology as the main means, to realize the ubiquitous connection of people, machines and things, and to provide infrastructure for information perception, information transmission, information processing and other services.

The origin of the Internet of Things refers to the real-time collection of any object or process that needs to be monitored, connected and interacted with through various devices and technologies such as information sensors, radio frequency identification technology, global positioning system, infrared sensors, laser scanners, etc., and collects various required information such as sound, light, heat, electricity, mechanics, chemistry, biology, location, etc., and realizes the ubiquitous connection between things and things, things and people, and realizes the intelligent perception, identification and management of items and processes. The Internet of Things is an information carrier based on the Internet, traditional telecommunication networks, etc., which allows all ordinary physical objects that can be independently addressed to form an interconnected network.

The Internet of Things is actually about people and things, and things are connected to things. Through various information sensors, radio frequency identification technology, global positioning system, infrared sensor, laser scanner and other devices and various technologies, real-time collection of various objects and processes that need to be monitored, connected and interacted, and various required information such as sound, light, heat, electricity, chemistry, mechanics, and location are collected, and the ubiquitous connection between people and things, things and things is realized through various possible network connections, and the intelligent perception, identification and management of objects are realized.

The Internet of Things is also an extension of the Internet, an expanded network, through a variety of sensing equipment, radio frequency, positioning systems to form a huge network, to achieve any time, any place, machine and people, people and things interconnection.

The Internet of Things is an important part of the new generation of information technology, and the IT industry is also known as pan-interconnection, which is the connection of things and the connection of everything. The core foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, which is only extended and expanded on the basis of the Internet, and then carries out information exchange and communication between people and things, things and things.

The Internet of Things is the Internet of Things. This has two meanings: first, the core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, which is an extension and expansion of the network on the basis of the Internet; Second, its user terminal extends and expands to any item and item for information exchange and communication, that is, the exchange of things.

The Internet of Things is widely used in the integration of networks through communication and perception technologies such as intelligent perception, recognition technology and ubiquitous computing, so it is called the third wave of the development of the world's information industry after computers and the Internet.
