move towards an 'Internet of Things' in which 50 to 100
billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020.

Smart Building
Poised to generate $100Billion by lowering operating
costs by reducing energy consumption through the integration
of HVAC and other systems.

Gas Monitoring
Generate USD 69Billion by reducing meter-reading costs and increasing the
accuracy of readings for citizens and municipal utility agencies.

SmartParking
Residents can identify and reserve the closest available space, traﬃc wardens
can identify non-compliant usage, and municipalities can introduce demand-
based pricing.
Create USD 41Billion by providing visibility into the availability of
parking spaces across the city.

Water Management
Could generate USD 39Billion by connecting the household water meter over an IP
network to provide remote information on use and status

“We are at the tipping point for
broader IoT adoption with 53
percent of organizations planning to
implement an IoT solution in the next
24 months. Organizations in Asia
Paciﬁc and Latin America are more

respectively, planning to implement
over the same time period”

NoiseTube – Crowdsourcing of Pollution Data Using
Smartphones. What Motivates?
•  Citizens and Communities concerned with noise
•  Measure your daily sound exposure in dB(A) with
your mobile phone
•  Tag noisy sources to inform the community about
them
•  Visualize your measurements on a map and
contribute to the creation of collective, city-wide
noise maps
•  Compare your experience with that of others
•  Local governments / city planners
•  Improve decision-making by understanding local and
global noise pollution in your city using maps and
statistics
•  Get immediate feedback and opinions from citizens
•  Give immediate feedback to citizens
•  Researchers
•  Get access to and analyze (anonymized) collective
noise data
•  Find out what is important in soundscape perception
•  Developers
•  Extend our mobile app in whichever way you see ﬁt
•  Use our environmental sensor web API to do your
own web mashups

HOW MANY STEPS
HAVE YOU
WALKED TODAY?

Average 3,000 – 4000
YESTERDAY I MADE 5,559
The recommended 10,000 steps a day originated in Japan in
the early 1965. Japanese researchers led by Dr Yoshiro Hatano
determined the average person took 3,500 to 5,000 steps per
day, and that if they were to increase their steps to 10,000
steps per day, the result would be healthier, thinner people! 
 
Dr. Hatano’s calculations also showed that we should walk
10,000 steps a day to burn about 20% of our caloric intake
through activity.

Classiﬁcation of Pedometer-Determined Physical Activity
•  < 5000 steps/day - "sedentary lifestyle index”
•  5,000-7,499 steps/day - "low active"
•  7,500-9,999 steps/day - "somewhat active”
•  10,000 steps/day - "active”
•  > 12,500 steps/day - "highly active"

Am I a “Couch Potato”?
Umrah Trip: 26/2 – 7/3/2014

I Want To Know More About Myself
•  Where you’re going?
•  Who you’ve interacted with?
•  How long you’ve spoken to friends?
•  The aﬃnity of connections?
•  How long it takes to get to work?
•  The tone of your messages
•  The amount you text, tweet or update?
•  How much exercise you’re getting?
•  How much you get distracted?
Can Internet of Things (IOT) Help Us To Know More About Ourselves?

Lifelogging 
Take a Stroll Down a Virtual Memory Lane

“How much more IOT can do is only left to your imagination and to your budget. You
can do as little or as much with IoT as you want.”

Digital memories can do more than simply assist the recollection
of past events, conversations and projects.

Beneﬁts of Lifelogging
It will take quite some time for people to feel comfortable with ‘always connected’
devices that can discreetly take photos or videos.
One question is if the beneﬁts outweigh the negatives.

Beneﬁts of Lifelogging – Precious Moments
In ‘Total Recall’ (no relation to the movie) Gorden Bell (of Microsoft acclaim) found that by
digitizing everything in his life he was able to reduce stress by a massive amount. Need a
receipt of something you bought years ago? No problem, just do a quick search and it should
pop right up.
What he also found was that by taking photos of everything moment of his life he could go
back to precious unexpected moments that you wouldn’t normally take photos of.

Beneﬁts of Lifelogging - Security
A huge amount of crimes are being ﬁlmed these days by passer’s by with cell
phones. No need for security cameras when everyone in a building has a smart
phone with a camera.

These moments could include a photo of your wife on the day you both met or a last photo of
your beloved dog. It could also help with memory. Search for someone’s name
and you’ll have all the information (including photos) of that person pop up when you are about
to talk with them.

Top 10 Places That Have Banned Google Glass
Because of these concerns, Google Glass has
already received a number of pre-bans at certain
places.

2.  Sports Arenas/Concert Venues
3.  Locker Rooms/Dressing Rooms
4.  Movie Theaters
5.  Cars
6.  Hospitals
7.  Classrooms
8.  Strip Clubs
9.  Casinos

“I think the really big issue here is that you might, individually, not worry about
publishing details of your personal life. But you are publishing your friends, family and
business contacts details at the same time. You are potentially compromising your
family and friends!”
Lifelogging: Is It An Invasion Of Privacy?

Lifelogging – Beyond Than Just Counting Steps
How can you organize and browse all the video, audio,
image and text data you amass?

Auto Tagging
•  Fast browsing through memories will be dependent on such annotation
•  To do this eﬃciently, we'll need machine learning algorithms that can automatically
recognize and tag all forms of life-logged data.
•  Only then will we get the killer applications,

Logging Your Mind
In the future, Gurrin (Dublin
City University in Ireland)
envisages that wearable
headsets incorporating
brainwave sensors will do
memory ranking. "A spike
due to excitement in a certain
part of the brain could then
be logged alongside the
video to infer its importance
level," he says
How to automatically
annotate ﬁles with
descriptive, searchable tags
and to easily browse them.

The ﬂagship product, MindWave, is a
headset that can log into your computer
using just your thoughts. Researchers
recently used the EEG headset to develop
a toy car that can be driven forward with
thought.

NeuroSky’s smart sensors can also track
your heart rate and other bodily metrics
and can be embedded in the next
generation of wearable devices.

“We make it possible for millions of
consumers to capture and quantify critical
health and wellness data,” Yang (CEO of
Softbank) said. Softbank is the funder.
