Internet of Things (IOT), also called Web of Things, is deemed as the expansion of Internet focusing on the development of Internet of Things and following the principle of innovation on the user experience.

Internet of Things realizes machine to machine (M2M) of terminal equipment and facilities, such as “smart object or animal” or “smart dust”, including the sensor, mobile terminal, industrial system, building control system, family intelligent facility and video monitoring system with “internal intelligence” and various assets with RFID and the individual and vehicle of portable wireless terminal with “external intelligence” by various wireless and/or wired long and/or short distance communication network, and bases on the SaaS operation mode of cloud computing to adopt the proper information security guarantee mechanism in the internal network, special network and /or Internet to provide the secure, controllable and customized real-time online supervision, position tracing, alarm interaction, scheduling direction, plan administration, remote control, security prevention, remote maintenance, online update, statistic report, decision support and desktop guidance (centralized demonstration) to realize “effective, energy-saving, secure and environmental” integrated “administration, control and operation” of “things”.

General industrial design of the architecture of Internet of Things is:

Compared with the traditional Internet, Internet of Things is featured in:

Firstly, it is the wide application of various sensation technologies. Internet of Things is deployed with many types of sensors, each of which is an information source, and different types of sensors capture different content and format of information. Data obtained by the sensor is real-time and the sensor collects the environment information at a certain frequency and keeps updating the data.

Secondly, it is a ubiquitous network on the Internet. Important foundation and core of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, which integrates various wired and wireless networks to accurately transfer the information of thing. Information regularly collected by the sensor on the Internet of Things shall be transferred by the network. Due to the large quantity, it forms the mass information, and in order to guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the data in the transfer, various heterogeneous networks and protocols must be suited.
