Furthermore, I/O 2015 where Google introduced its IoT OS and features was mainly organized for the developers. Hence the gadgets could be predicted to arrive during 2016 which would revolutionize the trend.

1. IOT – A Technology Mobilizing The Things To
Work For You
2. Internet of Things: Concepts and Technologies
This is a techno era. Things have changed at a great pace over the last few
years. Not only their formats have changed but at the same side they have
become “technologically” convenient. Various innovations have happened in
the recent decade among some of which truly gave a new direction to the
world; one of them being the Internet. It has made the world virtually
smaller. Clearly, you could avail anything from the web being from anywhere.
Other than as a useful source for desktop, smartphones, tablets and likewise,
you would soon find internet serving to the other aspects of your home like
the lock, the shelf, the drawer, the furniture, appliances and every other
known thing! Astonishing isn’t it? But yes, the concept has already been
structured by Google. Meaning, in the coming next few years you could find
yourself operating your entire home using an app! Further, this concept has
been named as “Internet of Things” or IoT.
3. Since its announcement, this term became a buzz for the civilizations. The
reason? It’s just because of the abilities of Internet that has been shown by
Google that what more could this technology actually do. In general, IoT
could be defined as the concept which has been designed for the devices to
make them completely functional in the real world. Further, the devices and
objects under this concept operate through the use of the internet.
So What Exactly Is An IoT?

5. These connected devices would be able to mention the requirement for
which they have been specified. One of the other features of these Internet
connected devices is that they would be able to establish communication
between other objects including your device too. Meaning, there would be
enough generation of information which would expectedly help to make the
day to day tasks easier for us.
Apart from all these, the devices and gadgets would be in entirely control of
the user who could also be able to configure as per their requirement. Thus
the devices would work as per your preferences.
6. How Would It Work?
The major part of the working process is based upon the idea of
communication of devices. Evidently, the devices would make use of various
internet sources like Wi-Fi for their communication process either with the
cloud, a master device or also with any of your most preferred devices like
your laptop or smartphone. Additionally, you would have the convenience to
access the communicating information from central devices regardless of
your location either in home or outside. Quite comfortable isn’t it?
7. Where else IoT Could Be Used?
Of course these internet devices are just not limited to residential use, but
they also have wide range of other applications too. Internet of Things or IoT
could be suitably used in medical sectors resulting in effective treatment for
surgeries and implants, automobiles, fire fighters, pantries, hospitality
centers and organizations. The devices installed in all of these sectors
respond variably as per they are programmed.
8. Device To Device Communication: A Lucrative
Feature
Now you could expect things to be ready just as you want them without your
much involvement. All you need is to set the IoT devices as per your
preferences and you won’t have to care for the rest. This is possible through
the functionality of Device to Device communication. This enables one device
to respond and perform as per sensors. The devices could exchange
information based upon which the next task is performed.
If you look for the instances then there are already various appliances and
devices which are operating using this technology including Samsung which is
gradually covering the market through its smart home aspects. Besides,
refrigerators, washing machines, lightings, dishwashers and mobile apps have
already serving the people while there are many other facets which resemble
the IoT technology.
9. Brillo: A Key Factor behind The Operation of IoT
Well, in order to make its project more operational, Google unveiled its much
awaited operating system Brillo which has been specifically configured for the
operation of IoT. Being designed using android application development it
performs as an end to end operating system. It also provides a great support
to some of the features like Wi-Fi, BLE and other devices. Moreover, Google
also aspires to enhance IoT user interface through the use of this feature.
10.
11. The user would also be able to switch to the Brillo platform through the use
of mobile device and could also add other user as per the need. Further as
per Google, Brillo is a developing software that could be operated on very
low power devices thereby interfacing with other nearby devices. In addition,
the talking feature of the devices mutually is possible due to Weave, which is
a language for connected devices again engineered by Google.
12. Weave: Google’s Official Language for the Devices:
One of the most important facades for accurate performance of devices is
Weave. Designed as a communicating feature for IoT integrated devices,
Weave provides specific language and speech to the devices so that they
could exchange information with each other on the same network thereby
performing their assigned functions. Furthermore, this communication API
also provides an ideal gateway for interaction between cloud, appliances and
the phones. This feature would be available in Q4 where all the Brillo and
Weave devices would be auto detected by Android devices.
13.
14. The developer’s API from Weave is exposed in a cross platform format.
Hence, all the connected devices interact with the same language. The
connectivity of the devices with cloud proves to be advantageous for the
users. If in case your phone loses connection, the devices would still remain
connected. In addition, it would also lessen the battery strain from
phone/tablet.
