Abstract

This chapter outlines the current state of the Internet of Things (IoT) from the people’s association point of view. IoT is an intelligent environment where objects become smart and autonomously communicate with one another and human beings, through networks supported by interfaces. The IoT technologies have not only been widely studied in simulation and investigational circumstances but also dealt with real world scenarios. The IoT systems are enhanced by surveying diverse interactions between humans and the IoT to mine the implanted intelligence about individual, environment, and society. The IoT is facilitated by the latest developments in RFID, smart sensors, communication technologies, and internet protocols. In the upcoming years, the IoT is expected to bridge various technologies to enable new applications by connecting physical objects together in support of intelligent decision making. The spotlight of this chapter is to present the support of intelligent human-computer interaction for the IoT and to deal with human-centered concerns in the IoT.
