Designing For HCI: A Hand-held Digital Device

What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data.

IoT

• “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.”

• Connecting up all these different objects and adding sensors to them adds a level of digital intelligence to devices that would be otherwise dumb, enabling them to communicate real-time data without involving a human being.

• The Internet of Things is making the fabric of the world around us more smarter and more responsive, merging the digital and physical universes.

• A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device, as is a motion sensor or a smart thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight.

• At an even bigger scale, smart cities projects are filling entire regions with sensors to help us understand and control the environment. 

Multiple Choice

What does the Internet of things platform do ?

• Brings diverse information together and provides a common language for the devices and the applications to work together.

• Predicts the weather.

• Makes sure a house is secure.

• Make sure the internet works correctly.

Multiple Select

A smart Traffic camera device can: (more then one answer)

• Monitor road for traffic congestion.

• Monitor road for accidents.

• Check weather conditions.

• Provide navigation routes to cars.

Multiple Select

A disadvantage of IoT is... (more then one answer)

• Home system can be attacked by hackers.

• IoT uses a lot of sensors to receive information.

• IoT devices collect information which is sent to a centralized system which can be compromised.

• Can be used in cars to anticipate engine problems.

Multiple Choice

A benefit of IoT is:

• Increase my internet speed.

• IoT depends on a reliable internet connection.

• Data can be access by hackers.

• Industries can gather useful information to improve their products.

Multiple Choice

Which one of the following can be considered a good example of IoT.

• Home security System.

• YouTube educational videos.

• Virtual learning of schools.

• Microsoft 365 office suite.

Multiple Choice

Which on of the following is TRUE about IoT ?

• IoT is an application installed on the computer from a CD.

• IoT is an application used for online meetings like Microsoft Teams.

• IoT shares only personal information.

• A devices gathers data through sensors and sends it to an IOT platform.

Multiple Choice

It is an integrated part of Future Internet and could be defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual ‘things’ have identities, physical attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the information network.

• Internet of Things
• Artificial Intelligence
• Geo-Localization
• Architecture
• ZigBee

Multiple Choice

What is a prototype?

• a task in a project that must be completed before another task can start

• a 'mock up' of a software or manufactured solution

• tasks that must be completed on time

• programming new software for a specified purpose

Multiple Choice

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in the process?

• Test the prototype.
• Make sketches of the prototype.
• Identify constraints.
• Collect and analyze the test results. 

Multiple Choice

Which of these is an aspect of prototyping?

• Allows people to evaluate the product
• Allows people to proto-type
• Allows people to have a free product
• Allows people to get a free meal

Multiple Choice

Which of these is a disadvantage of prototypes?

• User may get attached to the prototypes

• Checks if product meets specifications

• Cheapens software development process

• Allows users to interact with the product

Multiple Choice

Which of these is an advantage of prototypes?

• Can distract focus from final product

• Helps to improve original specifications

• Wasted time overproducing the product

• Users may get attached to the product

Multiple Choice

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Creating a prototype is not an important matter for the design process.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

The prototype allows a designer to examine the design's real measurements.

• True

• False
