An RFID tag, and barcodes 20:34:57 DR shows reading a barcode 20:35:02 from the screen 20:35:39 … the QR code converts to a URL 20:35:46 clcworld has joined #iot 20:35:59 … DR shows reading a barcode from a book 20:36:22 DR: The problem is that you need to run the application first 20:36:22 web of things - going from objects to web pages with a barcode 20:37:07 DR: better is an RFID … which automatically talks to the system 20:37:40 TV: the us passports now have RFID chips 20:38:16 DR shows a usb key that is a NFC reader 20:38:27 (near field communication reader) 20:38:27 chrisdavidmills has joined #iot 20:38:43 they are electronic versions of a barcode 20:38:54 they are encrypted 20:39:09 s/they/Oyster cards 20:39:46 …there are an increasing number of these kinds things being made available to the world 20:39:59 SLIDE: Microcontrollers 20:40:02 wcarr has joined #iot 20:40:04 DEMO 20:40:21 DR does a demo of device discovery 20:40:56 what they demo does is advertise the phone over UPNP 20:41:47 Kangchan has joined #iot 20:41:47 phone running a discovery plugin 20:42:19 … lots of phones start to appear … 20:43:59 richt has joined #iot 20:44:17 … selecting a phone exposes the services … 20:44:35 … a photo is taken …. phone vibrates 20:44:50 the crowd is impressed 20:44:52 :) 20:45:35 TV: so, how do we then bring all these things that are around us onto the web? 20:46:03 DR: so, there are lots and lots devices and services. 20:46:54 … DR shows lots of different devices currently connected to the network …. 20:47:02 … printers, phones, etc…. 20:47:06 evanli has joined #iot 20:47:19 youenn has joined #iot 20:47:20 si-wei has joined #iot 20:47:27 So, question is, how do we design an API at the right level of granularity? 20:48:04 TV: you could give all these devices an IPv6 address… so, why should my web app care what protocol the devices talk? 20:48:17 I'd like to speak to that question, Marcos. 20:48:56 francois has joined #iot 20:49:02 DR: So yes, why can't you expose these things as URIs? 20:50:06 RT: from Opera, we also did some prototypes and we have some experience to share… so, a devices have multiple services… so it's not about devices, it's about services. 20:51:06 Cathy has joined #iot 20:51:22 RT: next principle is not about targeting one service… is about having a class of a service (e.g., media renderer VS targeting a "sony TV") 20:55:45 MC: so we have the bonjour and UPNP camp. And they seem to be in complex 20:56:05 s/complex/opposition or just different 20:56:40 DR: shows the guts of UPNP 20:56:51 …lots of XML on the screen … 20:57:07 Soonho has joined #iot 20:57:09 VS… bojour, which is much simpler 20:57:37 Soonho has left #iot 20:57:37 they use DNS records, which is basically just text 20:57:50 so it's a bit adhoc 20:58:04 but naming is friendlier 20:58:28 chsiao has joined #iot 20:58:38 shan_ has joined #iot 20:59:30 TV: a device can expose its services over different protocols… but one might be better suited to a task than another (or for the system that is trying to find it) 20:59:48 DR: these are all good questions, but I will defer to DAP 21:01:13 RT: I agree that they are different, but they have the same objective 21:01:30 RT: in the end, they both provide a URL at the end 21:01:43 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 21:02:32 shan2 has joined #iot 21:03:44 RT: so the Browsers speak HTTP … so we can exposes URL, security with the right rules… beyond that, it's a larger question about wanting to support things on different protocol 21:04:52 hoashi has joined #iot 21:06:01 DR: so, you can also do this using browser extensions 21:06:10 DEMO 21:06:49 Showing a webinos demo for taking a photo and for vibration 21:07:35 mihara_ has joined #iot 21:09:09 Debbie: one use case is a washing machine… checking if the laundry is done … or I might be at some place out side and being able check if the laundry is done. How can we cover such a use case? 21:09:19 DR: so, Webinos is looking at this kind of issue 21:09:39 DR: so, looking at all sorts of devices, even cars! 21:10:05 DR: so we have come up with the idea of a "personal zone"… which allow one to set how things are found 21:11:08 DR: so it's desirable to have a service that is available all the time… and be able to access your friend's areas 21:11:16 s/areas/zones 21:11:31 There are a lot of guys building stuff with Arduino in Manchester, UK - use cases I've seen - an LED light that illuminates differently to indicate your device power consumption, a letter box that e-mails you when the mail man delivers snail mail. And a robot controlled nerf gun that detects when people enter a room, and shoots them with foam darts (and is also controllable via a web interface) 21:11:51 :D 21:12:04 aye ;-) 21:17:00 DR shows a Home Network example 21:17:32 discussion about home media frameworks 21:21:48 … discussion about protocols, formats, licensing, and power consumption …. 21:24:48 Bertha: we need to consider on not only discovery but also different service descriptions… because there are lots of levels of abstractions (from lightbulb to more complicated things) 21:25:14 JonathanJ has joined #iot 21:25:20 ryoichi_ has joined #iot 21:26:16 incubator report just came out, forming an activity to address the issue of uniform service descriptions. not just services in terms of software services, much broader scope. 21:26:17 Mark_Crawford: USDL Incubator report just published. 21:26:52 clearly security is very important to all of us 21:26:52 Rrsagent, draft minutes 21:26:52 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/11/02-iot-minutes.html JonathanJ 21:27:11 -> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/usdl/XGR-usdl-20111027/ Unified Service Description Language XG Final Report 21:27:25 it depends on the application author. it's up to what the application developers want to do 21:27:43 tv: does it matter? web of webs? as long as the pieces can talk to each other 21:27:47 JonathanJ has joined #iot 21:28:01 dr: your personal devices can talk with each other, there is some abstraction that can enable that 21:28:48 ryoichi_ has left #iot 21:29:29 ryoichi has left #iot 21:29:32 dsr has joined #iot 21:29:40 mihara__ has joined #iot 21:29:44 rrsagent, set logs public 21:29:48 rrsagent, make minutes 21:29:48 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/11/02-iot-minutes.html dsr 21:30:19 evanli has joined #iot 21:34:30 si-wei has joined #iot 21:34:56 Marcos has joined #iot 21:34:59 si-wei has joined #iot 21:35:19 nwidell has joined #iot 21:35:54 si-wei has left #iot 21:36:07 jun has joined #iot 21:36:29 jun has left #iot 21:38:41 arronei has joined #iot 21:41:13 chsiao has joined #iot 21:42:52 dsr has joined #iot 21:42:53 JonathanJ has joined #iot 21:44:15 chsiao has joined #iot 22:01:51 chrisdavidmills has joined #iot 22:03:13 richt has joined #iot 22:09:09 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 22:15:11 nwidell has joined #iot 22:22:53 JonathanJ has joined #iot 22:29:49 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 22:36:09 Frankie has joined #iot 22:38:50 arronei has joined #iot 22:40:23 chsiao has joined #iot 22:41:48 evanli has joined #iot 22:48:28 JonathanJ has joined #iot 22:51:46 Kangchan has joined #iot 22:54:41 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 22:55:03 chsiao has left #iot 22:59:37 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 22:59:50 nwidell has joined #iot 23:10:22 mihara has joined #iot 23:18:08 JonathanJ1 has joined #iot 23:39:44 Marcos has joined #iot 23:42:28 Marcos has joined #iot 23:43:37 arronei has joined #iot 23:46:11 nwidell has joined #iot 23:59:55 richt has joined #iot
