Germany and the UK rank a respective fifth and sixth with 9,686 and 9,548 patents filed within the review period. South Korea and Japan follow with 46,312 and 36,034, respectively. This massive growth was led by China, with the volume of IoT patents filed between 20 reaching 286,246, almost double the US, which is ranked second with 155,374 patents filed. To reach pervasive IoT, industry standards for communication protocols and security must be agreed in addition to the provision of real-time intelligence driven by AI. The end goal is ‘pervasive’ IoT, which implies a level of seamless and total connectedness within an environment, but most industry experts agree that this is some way off. Is a seamless internet of things within reach?
The connected vehicle also has a part to play in the development of this emerging technologically interconnected environment. Examples of this include the way homes, businesses and even entire cities – smart cities – are becoming more automated using sensors and controls for optimal efficiency of everyday processes, including energy use.Ī growing component of IoT is the monitoring of people moving within those environments through wearable technology. The internet of things (IoT) is a catch-all phrase to describe how technology can be used to connect various automated functions within an environment.
