Professor Ye Tao, Southern University of Science and Technology
Ye Tao: Thank you very much for your introduction. It is a great honor to be here today with such a high-level seminar. My topic is "Internet of Things and Future Life". I just heard a lot of forward-looking predictions and analysis about the future development of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Dawan District. I would like to introduce to you what kind of technology will be used to realize the future industry of 100 billion and trillion. Now we are looking forward to artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.
Today, I will take a very short time to introduce to you what is the Internet of Things technology, how far is it developing now, and what kind of vision will it develop into in the future? The topic of today's speech is very relevant to the experts just now. Especially the history of Silicon Valley that Mr. He Jin talked about. It happens that I am also studying and working in Silicon Valley. I feel very sympathetic with Mr. He's many opinions.
I just talked about the medical, manufacturing and information industries in the Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. On the basis of the previous speeches, I focused on a key technology, the Internet of Things technology.
Internet of Things (IOT) technology is now known as a very critical technology after the Internet. It is also known as the key technology to upgrade the social quality of ICT industry along with AI. What is the Internet of Things technology? Recently, we have different kinds of people, different experts have their own definitions. In fact, the Internet of Things technology seems to me to be a big box, putting personal technology inside.
Internet of Things technology was proposed long ago. In 1991, Mark Weiser defined Internet of Things technology as invisible technology in the future. What is the best technology? The best technology is invisible. Although we can not realize its existence at any time, we can not do without it. This is the Internet of Things technology. Nowadays, all levels and places have introduced their own technology, whether mobile phones, chips, or even monitoring, sensing, medical treatment, big data or something. In fact, we can change it into a technology of the Internet of Things more or less, or advanced. Surgery.
Of course, because today's lecture and today's report are not a scientific and technological report, but a social-oriented forum report, unlike the university lecture hall, we are not prepared to specifically talk about a variety of specific technologies. Instead, we use a number of various cases to introduce the extent to which the Internet of Things technology is now developing and the course to which it will develop in the future. Degree.
As the name implies, any connection with things is the Internet. Specifically, chips and nodes are placed on each item, and people and things, things and things are connected into a specific network. In this way, information can be interconnected, information sharing, real-time information updating and real-time tracking. This is the essence of the Internet of Things. The essence of the Internet of Things is to catch up with the things around it every time and every second. Data exchange of tracking information is the core technology.
Nowadays, many people put the definition of the Internet of Things in a very wide range, even including large data, monitoring, these are all Internet of Things technology.
In my opinion, the most important Internet of Things technology, especially the most common technology is RFID technology, RFID technology is the most important core of the Internet of Things. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless identification technology. Only when items are identified can they be perceived and information exchanged. RFID is the starting point of the most core technology of the Internet of Things. Since the introduction of RFID 15 years ago, you can't feel that about 5 billion RFID chips are embedded in various products around the world every year. The following PPTs will be popular in the past few years with RFID technology to see what stage Internet of Things technology will develop into in the future.
Speaking of RFID technology, RFID technology is the most specific application of the Internet of Things technology. Other Internet of Things technologies, including sensing, wireless monitoring, are actually used in a very small range or a limited range of scenarios, but the technology of RFID has actually been spread out in the world. In fact, there are about 5 billion new chips in RFID technology every year, and 5 billion chips are embedded in the surroundings. In 2008, IBM put forward the concept of Smart Earth. Daily necessities such as clothing stores, Di Canon and so on. Many of the tags have photos. Including Wuliangye and Maotai liquor bottle caps, there are chips. The chips are all RFID chips. RFID was put forward in 2006, earlier, but the national RFID technology tracking is very early.
As early as 2006, the Ministry of Science and Technology, together with 15 ministries, issued a white paper on RFID identification technology. In view of the emerging technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology quickly followed up. Since 2006, under the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Technology, including various universities and industries, RFID has become a very important industry through the development of the past decade or more. As the concept of smart city and Internet of things, RFID has been developed as a dragon's hair.
Speaking of RFID technology, because this is not a university lecture, not a classroom, there is no need to understand this technology in depth. This technology is very simple. In fact, it is to put a chip on the surface of an object by wireless transmission. The chip can be read and written by a reader at a long distance. In the process of reading and writing, the identity information of an item, including the location information of the item, and even the sensing information of the item can be read in. It is the technology of RFID itself.
This technology has two different working principles, one is the long-distance working principle, relying on Reader and Backscatter technology, read within a range of more than ten meters to twenty meters. There is also a near-field RFID technology, which is within the range of several centimeters and more than ten centimeters, both of which are called RFID technology.
This technology will bring everyone
