Internet Of Things 简明教程
Internet of Things - Common Uses
物联网在所有行业和市场都有应用。它的用户群体从想要减少家庭能源使用的人到想要精简运营的大型组织。随着技术的进步和我们向遥远的未来设想的先进自动化迈进，它不仅被证明是有用的，而且在许多行业中几乎至关重要。
IoT has applications across all industries and markets. It spans user groups from those who want to reduce energy use in their home to large organizations who want to streamline their operations. It proves not just useful, but nearly critical in many industries as technology advances and we move towards the advanced automation imagined in the distant future.
Engineering, Industry, and Infrastructure
物联网在这些领域的应用包括提高生产、营销、服务交付和安全性。物联网提供了一种监控各种流程的强大手段；真正的透明度为改进机会创造了更大的可视性。
Applications of IoT in these areas include improving production, marketing, service delivery, and safety. IoT provides a strong means of monitoring various processes; and real transparency creates greater visibility for improvement opportunities.
物联网提供的深度控制等级允许对这些机会进行快速且采取更多行动，其中包括事件，如明显的客户需求、不合规产品、设备故障、分销网络问题等。
The deep level of control afforded by IoT allows rapid and more action on those opportunities, which include events like obvious customer needs, nonconforming product, malfunctions in equipment, problems in the distribution network, and more.
Example
琼恩运营着一家制造厂，为制造设备生产护罩。当护罩的成分和功能法规发生变化时，新的适当要求会自动编程到生产机器人中，工程师会收到有关他们对更改的批准的警报。
Joan runs a manufacturing facility that makes shields for manufacturing equipment. When regulations change for the composition and function of the shields, the new appropriate requirements are automatically programmed in production robotics, and engineers are alerted about their approval of the changes.
Government and Safety
物联网应用于政府和安全领域，可以改善执法、国防、城市规划和经济管理。该技术弥补了当前的差距，纠正了许多当前的缺陷，并扩展了这些工作的范围。例如，物联网可以帮助城市规划者更清晰地了解其设计的成果，而政府则可以更好地了解当地经济。
IoT applied to government and safety allows improved law enforcement, defense, city planning, and economic management. The technology fills in the current gaps, corrects many current flaws, and expands the reach of these efforts. For example, IoT can help city planners have a clearer view of the impact of their design, and governments have a better idea of the local economy.
Example
琼恩居住在一个小城市里。她听说她所在地区最近犯罪率飙升，并且担心晚上回家。
Joan lives in a small city. She’s heard about a recent spike in crime in her area, and worries about coming home late at night.
系统标记已向当地执法部门发出警报，他们增加了警力。区域监控设备已经检测到可疑行为，执法部门已经调查了这些线索以预防犯罪。
Local law enforcement has been alerted about the new “hot” zone through system flags, and they’ve increases their presence. Area monitoring devices have detected suspicious behavior, and law enforcement has investigated these leads to prevent crimes.
Home and Office
在我们的日常生活中，物联网提供了从家庭到办公室到我们经常进行业务的组织的个性化体验。这提高了我们的整体满意度、增强了生产力并改善了我们的健康和安全性。例如，物联网可以帮助我们自定义办公空间以优化我们的工作。
In our daily lives, IoT provides a personalized experience from the home to the office to the organizations we frequently do business with. This improves our overall satisfaction, enhances productivity, and improves our health and safety. For example, IoT can help us customize our office space to optimize our work.
Example
琼恩从事广告工作。她进入办公室，办公室识别了她的脸。它将灯光和温度调整到她的喜好。它打开了她的设备，并向她上次的工作点打开了应用程序。
Joan works in advertising. She enters her office, and it recognizes her face. It adjusts the lighting and temperature to her preference. It turns on her devices and opens applications to her last working points.
她的办公室门在她到达之前检测并识别到一位同事多次拜访她的办公室。琼恩的系统自动打开此访客的消息。
Her office door detected and recognized a colleague visiting her office multiple times before she arrived. Joan’s system opens this visitor’s messages automatically.
Health and Medicine
物联网推动我们走向我们想象中的医学未来，这利用了一个高度集成的复杂医疗设备网络。如今，物联网可以极大地增强医学研究、设备、护理和急救。所有要素的整合提供了更高的准确性、更注重细节、对事件的更快反应以及持续改进，同时减少了医学研究和组织的典型开销。
IoT pushes us towards our imagined future of medicine which exploits a highly integrated network of sophisticated medical devices. Today, IoT can dramatically enhance medical research, devices, care, and emergency care. The integration of all elements provides more accuracy, more attention to detail, faster reactions to events, and constant improvement while reducing the typical overhead of medical research and organizations.
Example
瓊恩是急診室的護士。接到了一个因涉入爭吵而受傷的男人的電話。該系統發現了這個病人並調出他的記錄。在現場，醫護人員的設備會自動捕捉重要的信息，並將其發送至醫院的接收人員。系統會分析新資料和目前的記錄，提供一個指導解決方案。在運送的過程中，系統每秒更新一次病人的狀態。該系統提示瓊恩批准有關藥物分發和醫療設備準備的系統動作。
Joan is a nurse in an emergency room. A call has come in for a man wounded in an altercation. The system recognized the patient and pulls his records. On the scene, paramedic equipment captures critical information automatically sent to the receiving parties at the hospital. The system analyzes the new data and current records to deliver a guiding solution. The status of the patient is updated every second in the system during his transport. The system prompts Joan to approve system actions for medicine distribution and medical equipment preparation.
