網路的發展歷程曾經引起經濟的泡沫化,物聯網是不是也可能有這樣的發生疑慮?台積電董事長張忠謀以「Next Big Thing」,來形容物聯網是接著下來的經濟發展重心所在;然而友達董事長卻吐槽說物聯網要起來至少還要三年。

The IP for Smart Objects Alliance (IPSO Alliance) will publish at least one reference architecture this year for an IP-based IoT stack. It will also release a basic set of smart object data types for IoT communications over a variety of higher-level transports, including HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, and DDS.
市場情報機構ABIResearch指出,OEM Telematics(應用無線通信技術的車載電腦系統)與售後Telematics將成為蜂窩M2M連接的主要領域,超過連接總量的40%。而在這個市場中,蜂窩M2M連接將保持兩位數增長(含所有類別的應用程序)。預計到2019年,蜂窩網絡所處理的鏈接數量將超過6億。
ABIResearch公司事業部主管丹·謝伊(DanShey)表示:“無線連接從兩個方面瞄準車輛。OEM廠商為之嵌入蜂窩,既增加了車輛的安全性、方便性和信息娛樂功能,同時也提高了車輛的可維護性,而最重要的是避免召回。保險公司正在將蜂窩連接作為售後產品,用在基於用戶的保險和被盜車輛跟踪服務方面。蜂窩連接為兩個目前滲透率仍然相對不足的市場提供了巨大的價值。”

iSwimband是一個用於防止用戶溺水的裝置,它懂得經藍牙跟 iOS 裝置同步,如果它偵測到穿戴者在水中浸太久的話(他們稱之為「危險地久」,有機會等於小孩子遇溺了),就會向 iOS 裝置發出警告。
企業級軟體這幾年來發生許多重要的變化,包括移動裝置的興起、雲端的演進以及 Big Data 的產生,許多軟體公司也因此發生了許多變革,雖然 SAP 以企業級軟體著稱,但該公司的變化腳步也不算緩慢,也嘗試透過該公司的軟硬體技術做了許多新發展。
在智慧手錶品牌 Pebble 擔任佈道長(chief project evangelist)的Myriam Joire表示,目前在智慧手錶領域只有兩個比較大的平台,而且都還有改善空間。
「除了Pebble與Moto 360,我不認為還有哪款智慧手錶看起來不錯﹔」Joire在日前於美國舉行的穿戴式技術展會(Wearable Tech Expo)發表演說時表示:「可穿戴式裝置比以往更強調個人化,你會希望這類裝置反映你自己的個人風格,因此客製化、亮眼的設計是非常重要的,需要考量材質、外觀與尺寸。」
The magnetic, interconnecting circuit boards that make up LittleBits' library of electronic modules make it easy to build all sorts of neat (and noisy) devices with almost no technical knowledge at all -- but if you want to create something that connects to the cloud, you're out of luck. Well, you were: today LittleBits is announcing the Cloud Bit, a new module that, as company CEO and founder Ayah Bdeir puts it, allows builders to "just add internet" to almost anything. Bdeir tells me that it's gives the average person an easy and open way to contribute to the Internet of Things without wasting time prototyping devices from scratch. She also says that the module is a landmark in changing the perception of LittleBits from toy, to tool.
No one wants to be left behind in the Internet of Things revolution. IoT thought leader Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO ) created a big buzz earlier this year when it put a $19 trillion figure on the size of IoT. Since then, a number of companies have come forward boasting their IoT credentials, with chipmakers leading the charge. Already, the likes of Avago, Broadcom, and Skyworks have showcased their IoT portfolios, and now Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL ) is joining the fray.

FLIP is the latest in the wearable biometric tech craze, but quite different from fitness bands and smartwatches. Rather than on your wrist, the device adorns your ear like jewelry for a more discrete and comfortable look and feel that one might even forget is there. Easily paired with smart devices, FLIP acts as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep analyzer and more, providing real-time bio-data expressed in a simplified, user-friendly app.
