ABOUT ME

WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?

History of Internet of Things

KEVIN ASHTON – “FATHER OF THE IOT” “So you get stuff like the smart wine

bottle, the smart bikini, and the smart water bottle. This stuff is not the Internet of Things – this stuff is all

rubbish.”

He believed IoT could “turn the world into data” that could be used to

make macro decisions on resource utilization.

“Information is a great way to reduce

waste and increase efficiency, and that’s really what the Internet of

Things provides” [Source: The Reimagination Thought Leaders Summit ,Sydney, 17 November 2015]

TECHNOLOGIES THAT ENABLE IOT

Cheap sensors (50% cheaper)

Cheap bandwidth (40x cheaper)

Cheap processing & smarter

(60x cheaper)

Ubiquitous wireless coverage (free wifi)

Big data (unstructured

data)

IPv6

Smartphones (personal gateway)

For the Past 10 Years

How Big is the IOT Market?

By 2016 Gartner predicts 6.4 billion devices will be connected to the internet --

and 5.5 million new 'things' will join them each day.

63 devices connected every second

IOT in Smart City •  Improve the quality of life overall for all residents •  To make a better use of the public resources •  Reduce the operational costs of the public administrations.

BUILDING 3 TYPES OF CITIES

Vanity-driven

VISION OF THE CITY OF THE FUTURE

Open source and open data

Make visible the invisible

Sensing the city Provide tools for the citizens to interpret and change the workings of the city

Technology may help mitigate the “black hole” problem.

The goal is to make decisions in real time as events or emergencies occur, mitigating their impact on the daily lives of city’s residents while making sure the city’s budget is used as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Building Trust Citizens encounter good customer service across government channels

Smart City Agenda

For city leaders wanting to pursue a smart city agenda, citizen inclusion is critical

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT FOR SMART CITY

I want to easily report and communicate to my Local Councils,

As a Citizen

So that they can quickly solve my complaints

“The Improve Detroit app has ushered in a new era of customer service and accountability in city government,” Mayor Mike Duggan said. “It’s never been easier for Detroiters to get their voices heard and their complaints taken care of.”

•  Launched in April 8, 2015 •  6,500 downloads within 6 months •  More than 10,000 complaints made on the

app have been closed. •  The average time to close a case is nine days

– a vast improvement from when problems often languished for years. 

•  In the past six months, residents have used Improve Detroit to get: •  More than 3,000 illegal dumping sites

cleaned up. •  2,092 potholes repaired. •  991 complaints resolved related to running

water in an abandoned structure. •  565 abandoned vehicles removed. •  506 water main breaks taken care of. •  277 traffic signal issues fixed.

HOW IOT HELP QUANTIFIED-SELF

HOW MANY STEPS HAVE YOU WALKED TODAY?

CLASSIFICATION OF PEDOMETER-DETERMINED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

•  < 5000 steps/day - "sedentary lifestyle index” •  5,000-7,499 steps/day - "low active" •  7,500-9,999 steps/day - "somewhat active” •  10,000 steps/day - "active” •  > 12,500 steps/day - "highly active"

The recommended 10,000 steps a day originated in Japan in the early 1965. Japanese researchers led by Dr Yoshiro Hatano determined the average person took 3,500 to 5,000 steps per day, and that if they were to increase their steps to 10,000 steps per day, the result would be healthier, thinner people! Dr. Hatano’s calculations also showed that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to burn about 20% of our caloric intake through activity.

LIFELOGGING TAKE A STROLL DOWN A VIRTUAL MEMORY LANE

“How much more IOT can do is only left to your imagination and to your budget. You can do as little or as much with IoT as you want.”

Digital memories can do more than simply assist the recollection of past events, conversations and projects.

BENEFITS OF LIFELOGGING It will take quite some time for people to feel comfortable with ‘always

connected’ devices that can discreetly take photos or videos.

One question is if the benefits outweigh the negatives.

BENEFITS OF LIFELOGGING – PRECIOUS MOMENTS

In ‘Total Recall’ (no relation to the movie) Gorden Bell (of Microsoft acclaim) found that by digitizing everything in his life he was able to reduce stress by a massive amount. Need a receipt of something you bought years ago? No problem, just do a quick search and it should pop right up.

What he also found was that by taking photos of everything moment of his life he could go back to precious unexpected moments that you wouldn’t normally take photos of.

BENEFITS OF LIFELOGGING - SECURITY

A huge amount of crimes are being filmed these days by passer’s by with cell phones. No need for security cameras when everyone in a building has a smart phone with a camera.

These moments could include a photo of your wife on the day you both met or a last photo of your beloved dog. It could also help with memory. Search for someone’s name and you’ll have all the information (including photos) of that person pop up when you are about to talk with them.

How to automatically records your real life story, as told by the places you visited and the things you've done because some of us have a great story to

tell.

The 150 Days of My Life

Life-Logging

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MYSELF •  Where you’re going? •  Who you’ve interacted with? •  How long you’ve spoken to friends? •  The affinity of connections? •  How long it takes to get to work? •  The tone of your messages •  The amount you text, tweet or update? •  How much exercise you’re getting? •  How much you get distracted?

Can Internet of Things (IOT) Help Us To Know More About Ourselves?

TOP 10 PLACES THAT HAVE BANNED GOOGLE GLASS

Because of these concerns, Google Glass has already received a number of pre-bans at certain places. 1.  Banks/ATMs 2.  Sports Arenas/Concert Venues 3.  Locker Rooms/Dressing Rooms 4.  Movie Theaters 5.  Cars 6.  Hospitals 7.  Classrooms 8.  Strip Clubs 9.  Casinos 10. Bars

“I think the really big issue here is that you might, individually, not worry about publishing details of your personal life. But you are publishing your friends, family and business contacts details at the same time. You are potentially

compromising your family and friends!”

Lifelogging: Is It An Invasion Of Privacy?

AUTO TAGGING

•  Fast browsing through memories will be dependent on such annotation •  To do this efficiently, we'll need machine learning algorithms that can automatically

recognize and tag all forms of life-logged data. •  Only then will we get the killer applications,

LIFELOGGING – BEYOND THAN JUST COUNTING STEPS

How can you organize and browse all the video, audio, image and text data you amass?

LOGGING YOUR MIND In the future, Gurrin (Dublin City University in Ireland) envisages that wearable headsets incorporating brainwave sensors will do memory ranking. "A spike due to excitement in a certain part of the brain could then be logged alongside the video to infer its importance level," he says

How to automatically annotate files with descriptive, searchable tags and to easily browse them.

THOUGHT CONTROLLED COMPUTING

[Source: http://venturebeat.com/2013/11/04/next-step-for-wearables-neurosky-brings-its-smart-sensors-to-health-fitness/ ]

The flagship product, MindWave, is a headset that can log into your computer using just your thoughts. Researchers recently used the EEG headset to develop a toy car that can be driven forward with thought. NeuroSky’s smart sensors can also track your heart rate and other bodily metrics and can be embedded in the next generation of wearable devices. “We make it possible for millions of consumers to capture and quantify critical health and wellness data,” Yang (CEO of Softbank) said. Softbank is the funder.

Lifestyle”
