Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, humidity, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location. Web architecture offers a high degree of interoperability and a low entry barrier to combine the physical world with Web contents. Today WSNs in electronic engineering are used in many industrial and consumer applications and the need for Web-based real-time data from the physical world collected by a large number of sensors and actuators is becoming more and more in electronic engineering. HTML5 standards offer an ideal harmony between performance and functionality. This paper describes a Web-based real-time monitoring system with special circuit for WSNs in electronic engineering using WebSocket, Canvas, Geolocation, Chart, and various other new techniques of the HTML5 standards. The proposed system can monitor and control WSNs in electronic engineering with the Web in real-time manner.
