Just when we started believing that IoT won’t be able to continue its hype, we can see a blockbuster peep. What is it all about that is going to change the way IoT functions. Will it be possible to welcome the invention of the industry or it would remain just in thoughts. Answers to all these questions are described in a nutshell here.
What will IoT serve you?
IoT holds the potential to work smartly ranging from kitchen appliances, equipment to medical devices to vehicle electrical systems. Imagine yourself returning home – a signal from your car is sent to the alarm which triggers the doors to get unlock. As the door gets unlocked a signal is sent to the lights and fans and they turn on without you moving to the switchboard. That’s what IoT can do for you.
The Internet of things would be the world’s largest device industry in a distinct future. According to a survey conducted by a business insider, it is easy to predict and judge the growing number of devices in IoT. A 35% increase in a number of devices would take place by 2019.
How easy it would be to control each IoT device?
With the increasing number of IoT devices and their applications, it is quite possible that it becomes a tough game for the user to control each device. Each device functions on its own from language to functionality. Imagine that you need a separate app from Philips to control the lighting and separate one from LG to control the microwave!
This would be the same resonating experience for different pin size chargers for different mobile phones. The concept of a universal charger was brought into practice, later on, to provide comfort in use.
What will happen on Jul 29, 2015?
Coming back to IoT devices, it would be wise to bring all devices under a single protocol avoiding the management crisis from a user perspective. And this would be taken charge by the release of Windows 10 on 29 July 2015. Windows 10 will hold the capability to control the Internet of Things (IoT) devices teaming up with the AllJoyn open-source framework.
Microsoft has torched on this idea first and with the help of more than 150 companies, has developed an open-source framework – All Join for all IoT devices. AllJoyn is a common language developed for all IoT devices to communicate better. Any device having AllJoyn support within the network can be controlled by Windows 10.
Currently, Alljoyn is supported on devices for the following OS –
- Android 2.2 and above (> 90% of android devices).
- iOS
- Windows RT
- Windows 8
- Windows 7
- OS X
- Linux
- Embedded Linux
It would be very easy and simple for consumers to start using this technology for the purpose of a smart home. The only thing you need to do is buy AllJoyn supported devices and connect to the local network along with the physical objects.
