The Internet of Things bursts in the era of smart home the most "ground gas"

Even if you haven't heard of the Internet of Things, you've already stuck in its "encirclement": Your ID card is embedded with the most basic RFID of the Internet of Things (RFID); when you look forward to Taobao When the baby's logistics trend is a courier company's complete Internet of Things system behind the silent support; and when you open the WeChat's "scan" function in the supermarket to scan the parity of the price tag, you are witnessing Tencent this Internet giant Advance to the Internet of Things.

Today, the Internet of Things is quietly changing our lives. The promotion of smart homes and the construction of smart cities all reflect its application.

2013 can be regarded as China's "Internet of Things first year." In this year, the new vocabulary of “Internet of Things” emerged in the government work report for the first time; the industrial parks of various provinces and cities have mushroomed on the high-speed train that opens to the future; they are always at the bottom of the industry chain “strive for the upper reaches”. Haier took the lead and released the first "Internet of Things Refrigerator"; China's first Internet of Things Conference is full of heat, and the golden future shines on everybody's face.

After 3 years passed, the market valuations and the future prospects of the science fiction films could no longer make people ups and down. The Internet of Things disappeared from the list of hot words, but they were entering every one of them. Human life: It is a monthly subscription service provided by China Mobile's customer service representative. It is an app for tracking sleep quality on the iPhone. It is a smart home experience hall that appears at the entrance of the cell...

The China Internet of Things Conference has been open for four sessions. From the concept of the first session, the second technical dispute has been applied to this year's application and witnessed the history of the Internet of Things in China in the past three years. From the initial concept of innocence to the increasingly clear path of development, the Internet of Things is getting closer and closer to us.

As a comprehensive network that implements information exchange and communication between objects, the Internet of Things is called the third wave of information industries following computers and the Internet. Thousands of kinds of sensors are implanted into each object to make it behave “ears, eyes, mouths, and noses” like humans, knowing the heat and knowing the heat; through wireless communication technologies such as WiFi and Bluetooth, information transmission between objects can be realized. Exchange; Finally, in all kinds of application scenarios, all things are used by people and services. In a nutshell, the Sensing layer, network layer, and application layer woven together the most ambitious network ever.

With the advancement of technology, the development of IoT hardware has advanced rapidly in the direction of miniaturization and cost reduction. At present, a chip with sensing and computing capabilities can already achieve 2 square millimeters, which is smaller than an ant, and the cost has been controlled under US$1, which could not be realized five years ago.

Looking back at the global Internet of Things, although the technology of the sensing layer has basically matured more than a decade ago, due to the lack of standardized and unified short-range and low-data-rate wireless communication protocols among the sensors, they are not mutually exclusive. Connected "information islands". However, in recent years, several major wireless communication protocol alliances such as ZigBee and Z-Wave have formed a utmost momentum, which is equivalent to paving the way for “connected objects”. Among them, the number of international ZigBee alliance members established in 2011 has exceeded 420, and more than half of the world's top 500 companies have been included.

Xinhe Chuang is also the earliest company adopting the ZigBee communication protocol in China. Currently, all Zhebhuang Chuangxin smart home products use the ZigBee communication protocol, which is more secure than the ordinary WIFI protocol.

With the popularization of smart phones and the development of the Internet, the rise of smart homes has been brought about. The close connection between the Internet of Things and mobile phone communications has prompted applications such as smart homes, light-sensing operations, and temperature and humidity adaptation to be developed on Android. Therefore, there is a saying in the industry that the opportunity for explosive growth of the Internet of Things is smart terminals + mobile Internet.

Today's smart home is in front of the public in this form, with mobile phones, mobile device control + mobile Internet control. Recently, there will be many smart home exhibitions, I believe it will be a lively event.
