Description

The present invention relates to the Internet of Things (IoT).

In one aspect, an Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body and sensors including a camera and an accelerometer; a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

Implementations/applications of the above aspect may include one or more of the following. The ability to network embedded devices with limited CPU, memory and power resources means that IoT finds applications in nearly every field. Such systems could be in charge of collecting information in settings ranging from natural ecosystems to buildings and factories, thereby finding applications in fields of environmental sensing and urban planning IoT systems could also be responsible for performing actions, not just sensing things. Intelligent shopping systems, for example, could monitor specific users' purchasing habits in a store by tracking their specific mobile phones. These users could then be provided with special offers on their favorite products, or even location of items that they need, which their fridge has automatically conveyed to the phone. Additional examples of sensing and actuating are reflected in applications that deal with heat, water, electricity and energy management, as well as cruise-assisting transportation systems. Other applications that the Internet of things can provide is enabling extended home security features and home automation.

Thus, the Internet of things creates an opportunity to measure, collect and analyze an ever-increasing variety of behavioral statistics.
