30 - TINK 2.1 Communication model for connected objects. Figure 12. Wall Analysis of Connected Objects After having acquired a theoretical knowledge on the topic of IoT, an analysis was conducted on 47 research and design project in order to gain a more practical understanding on the topic. The list of projects was initially retrieved from a research done by Emma Gores and Elisa Giaccardi on socially tangible media. In order to have a complete picture of different kind of IoT products other 23 projects where then added to the initial set. A system diagram was drawn for each project analysed, a special focus was given in mapping out the connections between the different elements involved in the system. As a first result of the analysis five entities were identified as recurring actors that are most of the time present in systems of connected products. This 5 entities communicate and exchange information between each other in a fixed structure. Figure 13 shows a communication model representative of how information can flow between the different entities. The flow of information is also representative of how the different entities interact with each other. Objects In a pervasive technology perspective, objects are the one that, equipped with sensors, actuators, micro controllers and networking capabilities, evolve. They become able to contain, create, share information and sometimes take or suggest decision. In this perspective objects are actively taking part to a conversation with users. Other objects can mediate interaction with connected objects. Those will be touch point of the same system. For example a system can be composed of an object that post data on the Internet, the data can then be fetched through a web browser or displayed via an other objects. Data Data is the base element of an informational system. 13 Data can be recorded by sensors embedded inside objects or produced directly by people in the digital world. Data can be transmitted from object to object, stored and analysed. Data enables the system to be smart. Users Without users, systems do not need to exist. All systems are designed around users, who produce data or make valuable use of information collected via objects and devices. Users never have direct access to data, their access to the information stored in to the cloud is always mediated by either objects or devices
Market analysis - 31 Devices The device, or multi-purpose device can be a smartphone or a laptop. In most cases it has a screen and an interface that allows people to visualize and manipulate digital information. While objects can manipulate and present data as well, object are, in most cases, very specialized things. Devices are not specialized but multi-purpose. Different programs/apps can be installed on them allowing endless possibilities. Places Places serve as stages for the interaction to happen. Object can have direct interaction with users, but they can also can interact with their users indirectly by affecting people’s environment. Places in fact can be controlled, monitored and modified by objects. DEVICES PEOPLE DATA OBJECTS Figure 13. Communication model for Connected Objects PLACES
