24 Introduction to Internet of Things 2 1.2 Physical Design of loT 1.2.1 Things in loT The "Things" in loT usually refers to IoT devices which have unique identities and can ting and monitoring capabilities. loT devices can exchange data with other connected devices and applications (directly or indirectly). or collect data from other devices and process the data either locally or send the data to centralized servers or cloud-based application back-ends for processing the data, or perform some tasks locally s within the loT infrastructure, based on temporal and space constraints (i¢., memory. processing capabilities, communication latencies and speeds, and deadlines), Figure 1.3 shows a block diagram of a typical loT device. An IoT device may consist of several interfaces for connections to other devices, both wired and wireless. These include (i) V/O interfaces for sensors, (ii) interfaces for Internet connectivity, (iii) memory and storage interfaces and (iv) audio/video interfaces. An IoT device can collect various types of data from the on-board or attached sensors, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity. The sensed data can be communicated either to other devices or cloud-based servers/storage. IoT devices can be connected to actuators that allow them to interact with other physical entities (including non-IoT devices and systems) in the vicinity of the device. For example, a relay switch connected to an IoT device can turn an appliance on/off based on the commands sent to the IoT device over the Internet. IoT devices can also be of varied types, for instance, wearable sensors, smart watches, LED lights, automobiles and industrial machines. Almost all IoT devices generate data in some form or the other which when processed by data analytics systems leads to useful information to guide further actions locally or remotely. For instance, sensor data generated by a soil moisture monitoring device in a garden, when processed can help in determining the optimum watering schedules.

These functional blocks are described as follows: e Device: AnloT system comprises of devices that provide sensing, actuation, monitoring and control functions. You learned about IoT devices in section 1.2. e Communication : The communication block handles the communication for the loT system. You learned about various protocols used for communication by IoT systems in section 1.2. e Services : An IoT system uses various types of IoT services such as services for device monitoring, device control services, data publishing services and services for device discovery. e Management : Management functional block provides various functions to govern the IoT system. Security Security functional block secures the IoT system and by providing functions such as authentication, authorization, message and content integrity, and data security. n : JoT applications provide an interface that the users can use to control e Applicatio: ft low users to View and monitor various aspects of the IoT system. Applications also all the system status and view or analyze the processed data. LO] JO SxS] g [euonoun, :9°] omns1y
