IoT as a Service

In this demonstration, the applications of IoT sensor bricks [1] including the color sensor system, temperature/UV sensor system, SpO2 sensor system, motion sensor system and alcohol sensor system are presented. Users can stack multiple sensor bricks together to build a unique IoT sensor system according to the requirements. The corresponding APPs of smart phone for 6 sensor systems are used to interact with visitors to experience the IoT sensor bricks. A video [2] is played to introduce the features of this commercial product and its sample applications in life. The firmware development/debug environment including the debug hardware and its GNU tool chains are also explained in this demonstration. Visitors can therefore understand that the proposed IoT sensor bricks is a modular wireless sensing system which features an open architecture and reusability. It has a sharable power supply unit, a computing unit, a communication unit, an output unit, and a sensing unit. The IoT sensor bricks can be disassembled and assembled at will; it is equipped with NFC, Bluetooth communication and wireless charging. Data gathered by IoT sensor bricks can be converted to useful applications and displayed in the smart phone. The demo materials for each sensor system include the alcohol swabs for the alcohol sensor system, pantone color paper for the color sensor system etc. are utilized to facilitate the demonstration.
