From Tree IoT to Network IoT
Shuichi Fukuda · The Proceedings of Mechanical Engineering Congress Japan · 2018
Most discussion on IoT is nothing more than just advanced sensor or RFID technology applications. What distinguishes IoT from these discussions is IoT works both ways or bilateral. It enables us to communicate. And further it enables communication not only between humans, but between humans and products and between products. Up to now. changes were small so we could predict the future and we could carry our system identification. Therefore, we could control machines/products from outside of the system. The goal is clear in traditional engineering, so that one way signal transmission worked effectively and tree structure meets well with such engineering.
