Reprinted from IOT home network] IOT is everywhere. We live in it. Through mobile devices, especially mobile phones and various apps, we can communicate with "things", whether indoors or outdoors, whether in close or remote control. Mobile phones are either directly linked to specific Internet of things devices, or regulated in a large range through cloud platforms and sensors. In terms of personal, family, factory and other use situations, mobile phones connect people and things, opening up the feasibility of more innovative applications.

For example, in the smart home environment, users can remotely command the electric rice cooker to cook and turn on the air conditioner, or directly connect with the gateway to control various household appliances, which are convenient applications realized by the connection between mobile phones and the Internet of things. Or in agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, the connection between mobile phones and the Internet of things can save workers a lot of time and effort.

"For example, in the environment controlled by such conditions as plant factories, it is necessary to detect the temperature and humidity, even the concentration of nutrient solution and other values through sensors to ensure the consistency and optimization of plant growth environment." "With the combination of mobile phones, software and cloud platforms, technology farmers can control everything from a thousand miles away," said Lin Junji, an analyst and project manager at DIGITIMES research

The evolution of mobile communication and the enhancement of man-machine communication

With the continuous enhancement of mobile communication technology, the communication between mobile devices and the Internet of things is more smooth. "In the past, mobile communication technology mainly focused on the communication between people, so a little delay in response was allowed, and the two sides would not notice it," Lin said further. "However, in the era of Internet of things, a little delay in transmission may cause serious consequences, for example, in the industrial control application of mining and exploration, the staff through Mobile devices operate machines and equipment remotely, and in a severe environment, the delay of transmission may cause the machine to fall into the abyss without response, so the requirements for communication technology are higher. "

In addition, compared with the communication between people, in some application scenarios, the Internet of things may have higher requirements for the link density of communication, and the number of sensor deployment in specific areas may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Another focus is power consumption. After all, mobile phones can be charged, but many IOT devices are required to operate continuously for 3-5 years, or even for 10 years. From the development of human communication to the era of Internet of things, the requirements for communication technology are also different.

The integration of virtual reality and new experience

Looking forward to the future, the interaction between mobile phones and the Internet of things will generate many new applications. For example, through the connection between mobile phones and intelligent lighting, light may change due to different game situations. Lin Junji said, "that is to say, the change of virtual environment will affect the real environment and reach the realm of virtual reality integration, which will bring more rich entertainment experience."

Mobile devices such as mobile phones link people and machines, bringing more convenience and many innovative applications. "However, in such a relationship, we must have control, remember that human beings are still the main body, and never give everything to machines, otherwise it will bring disaster." Lin Junji
