Internet of Things (IoT) represents one of the pillars of the internet in the future. Smart devices are becoming more and more connected and, as such, are changing our daily lives. Automated communication of physical devices, machines, and systems enables companies and individuals almost endless opportunities to improve efficiency, increase profitability, and introduce innovative business models.
IoT is also associated with mobile applications that connect and monitor the performance of smart devices in a home or business. Mobile applications offer us an opportunity to be aware of the developments and to monitor our surroundings at every step.
The master's thesis can be divided into two parts. In the first, theoretical part, we introduced the definition of IoT, which represents devices in a smart home. We focused on connecting devices to the internet, protocols that allow two-way communication between devices and are wirelessly connected to the network, and standards required for the operation of devices. Data security and privacy are crucial, despite the convenience that a smart home brings with it. Due to the constant development of the market, we have also presented trends in the field of Internet of Things, which are constantly changing and bringing new innovations.
The theoretical part also presents the definition of a mobile application with a defined history. We have listed different kinds, types, and categories of mobile apps, and introduced Android, iOS, and Windows mobile operating systems in more detail.
In the second part of the master's thesis, we presented in detail the mobile application NEO of Telekom Slovenije. We focused on the user interface and functionality of the mobile application and presented the registration in the application itself. At NEO Smart Boxing, we have described and introduced the advanced features of the device itself and described the smart devices and sensors that operate via Smart Box. With the help of electronics, internet connection, sensors, and other hardware, these devices can communicate and exchange data with each other. They can also be monitored, controlled and operated remotely. We described the development and role of digital television and introduced the fixed-line broadband packages that Telekom Slovenija's subscriber must have to operate a smart box. |
