IoT Ecosystem Flashcards
What is the loT ecosystem?
The loT ecosystem is a multifaceted world of interconnected use cases, technologies, and protocols, comprising four main elements: things, people, data, and process.
What are the four main elements of the loT ecosystem?
The four main elements are: 1) Things, 2) People, 3) Data, 4) Process.
What are the four characteristics that define an IoT device or smart object?
1) Sensors/actuators, 2) Communication unit, 3) Power source, 4) Processing unit
What role do sensors and actuators play in loT devices?
Sensors measure physical parameters (e.g., temperature, humidity) and collect data, while actuators interact with the physical world to perform tasks (e.g., controlling valves).
How do lot devices connect to the internet?
IoT devices typically use wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, ZigBee, or Bluetooth to connect to the internet.
What is the importance of a power source in IoT devices?
IT devices require a power source for sensors, communication, and processing systems, often using battery power with low energy consumption for long-term use.
What is the function of the processing unit in an loT device?
The processing unit, usually a low-cost microcontroller, processes and analyzes data collected from sensors and controls other systems like power and communication units.
What types of data are generated by loT devices?
loT devices generate raw data collected by sensors, commands issued to smart objects, and data processed for analysis.
How is time-sensitive data handled in the loT ecosystem?
Time-sensitive data is processed at the edge of the network (close to the loT devices) to reserve bandwidth, while less time-sensitive data is sent to the cloud for long-term storage and analysis.

What role do people play in the IoT ecosystem?
People develop, operate, and benefit from loT networks, interpreting analyzed data for insights to enhance businesses and improve collaboration.
Why is privacy important in the loT ecosystem?
As loT sensors collect personal data, it is crucial for individuals to be aware of privacy implications and the handling of their data.
How can loT data optimize industrial processes?
Analyzed data from loT sensors can be used to optimize and enhance the efficiency of industrial processes, making them more intelligent.
