Smart home into the Internet of Things era

The IoT smart home system is a home-use small-scale internet of things. It needs various sensors to collect relevant information, and analyzes and feedbacks these information to achieve related functions. In order to meet the various needs of smart homes, cloud computing has become the best partner of smart home.

The business opportunity of the Internet of Things highlights the smart home. On the surface, it is a network system where objects can be integrated. However, from the existing nature, the coverage of such network systems will be far greater than the existing network systems. At the same time, the overall smart home operation is actually a process of frequent data exchange. While smart homes have been put into use when related emerging technologies have been put into use, the era of its popularity will come. By then, the entire network will have more data transmission and processing. It is not just a few people. In the current development process of smart homes, it is not alone, and the two networking technologies of the Internet of Things and cloud computing will play an important role in promoting its development.

Internet of Things Enters People's Life Smart Home is Not Alone Around 15 years ago, Kevin Ashton, a pioneer in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, proposed the concept of the Internet of Things. According to the agreed protocol, this is a network that connects any item to the Internet, exchanges information and communicates, and enables intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management. Simply put, the Internet of Things is a "connected object to the Internet." Many people think that the Internet of Things is a conceptual hype, but in fact it has become a reality and it is entering the life of citizens.

Today, the IoT smart home system is actually a home-use small-scale internet of things. It needs to pass through various types of sensors to collect relevant information, and through the analysis and feedback of these information, relevant functions are realized. In order to meet the various needs of smart homes, cloud computing has become the best partner for smart homes. Through cloud computing, building a cloud home, you can achieve more accurate and rapid control of home equipment, and users get better cloud services. At the same time, the cost is also lower. Similarly, the contribution of the Internet of Things to smart home development cannot be ignored.

Currently, the Internet of Things technology will bring opportunities for the development of smart cities to come. With the continuous development and maturity of technology, technologies such as 3G and Internet of Things are becoming more mature and stable. As a business computing model, cloud computing will eventually be combined with these technologies. They complement each other and bring unpredictable changes to the world. 3G and cloud computing are interdependent and promote each other. Cloud computing and the Internet of Things reflect each other, and their application in the smart home area is very popular.

The business opportunities of the Internet of Things highlight the development of the Internet of Things, and the concept of connecting objects is widely used in life. The use of Internet of Things technology, from seeds to planting, to restaurants and supermarkets, functions in the tracing of food information will be given to the citizens of Nanning. Healthy life brings good news.

In 2012, the first urban traceability systems, including Shanghai, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuxi, and Qingdao, were put into trial operation, docked with the central platform, and uploaded more than 26 million pieces of data. Nanning will also launch a construction traceability system for meat dishes. In March of this year, the Ministry of Commerce held a training meeting for the tracing of meat dishes in Nanning and a signing ceremony for the joint procurement of hardware and software for the third batch of pilot cities.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as a new network technology, the Internet of Things has an extremely important role in various industries. The Internet of Things industry includes smart industry, smart agriculture, intelligent transportation, smart logistics, smart grid, smart environmental protection. , smart security, smart medical, smart home, and so on, now business opportunities for the Internet of Things have become prominent.

It is noteworthy that there are still many problems in the actual market promotion process, not because of the technical problems existing in the Internet of Things, but how the project enters millions of households. In the long run, smart communities, smart homes and smart medical services are all unstoppable trends. However, if you really want to achieve “smartness,” I am afraid it will take a long time.

The first Internet of Things research conference in Guangxi—the Nanning Institute of Internet of Things research conference was established in Nanning as early as 2010. It was established to integrate the production, learning, research, and application of the Internet of Things into Nanning’s Internet of Things. Wide application and industrial development provide a powerful impetus.

IoT smart home technology talents Cheng Xiangyu For example, a smart home technology worker recruitment advertisement has listed a number of needs such as application software development engineers, construction engineers, project implementation engineers, software test engineers, and project management engineers. , industrial design engineers, software development engineers, etc. For technical personnel, most employers require working experience and the working period is at least 1 year. In terms of salary, it is mainly based on the job level. For a growing company, the salary may not be very high, but it will give some equity; the listed company will have a strong ability to pay, and the salary will be higher, and the annual salary will probably be between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.

In fact, since the rise of the Internet of Things, the problem of shortage of talent has emerged. Many domestic universities are also eyeing this emerging industry and are eager to establish the Internet of Things and related professions to meet the needs of the market and solve the problem of student employment. The Ministry of Education has successively issued documents, and 64 Internet-related related professions have been set up in 59 colleges and universities in the country. However, it is still far from meeting the needs of the market. The talent gap for the Internet of Things will be about 10 million in the next few years. On the one hand, companies need sophisticated high-level Internet of things talents. On the other hand, colleges and universities are scarce. Under this background, it is not difficult to understand the scarcity of smart homes.

In view of the shortage of IoT talents, the person in charge of the smart home leader IoT Sensing Technology Division stated that smart homes belong to a new type of industry. Theories in colleges and universities have not become mainstream, and many professors and students are very good at electronics, electromechanical and other single aspects. , but rubbing it up is very hard. In colleges and universities, there is a shortage of people with ideas and lack of integrated personnel with overall planning. In addition, China's cloud computing started late and was conceptually weak. After the concept of industrialization was proposed, there was no unified industry rules, no professional disciplines and systems were formed, and there were no vacancies in the positions, but talent supply could not meet the requirements.

The talent training of the Internet of Things can not be isolated. It not only includes talent training in sensors, terminals, and communication networks, but also includes talent training in cloud computing and big data. Basic engineers who are solely responsible for software and hardware require relatively low requirements. The ultimate engineers responsible for the main network and the Internet of Things are more stringent. Internet of Things talents need comprehensive training.

The importance of talent has reached consensus in the smart home industry. Today, the drawbacks of smart home wired technology have been fully exposed, wireless technology is popular, and become the future development trend. At present, various technical talents on wireless smart home are extremely popular, and some companies even do not hesitate to plunder talents.

Conclusion Since the country launched the Internet of Things development strategy in 2009, the Internet of Things has developed rapidly in China and has made great strides in smart homes, smart transportation, smart agriculture, and intelligent industries. Experts predict that by 2015, China's Internet of Things industry will reach 500 billion yuan. The smart home output value will also exceed 124 billion yuan. The Internet of Things enters the lives of ordinary people and smart homes are not alone.
