Abstract:The Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used in smart home control application system. But this technology is rarely used in baby care and infant incubator. In this research, an intelligent infant incubator system based on IoT is presented in detail. Firstly, the overall architecture of the system is illustrated based on layer framework of IoT. Secondly, the intelligent local gateway is designed on the basis of Zigbee technology and a type of ARM1136J board. Thirdly, the design of the system software is presented which is marked by loading balancing technology, HTTP protocol and XML. The intelligent system showed a good performance in the environmental monitoring during baby care. In the field of baby care, security issues essentially require privacy of residents and safety of families. Thus, a stable and robust security module should be included in the infant incubator intelligent control system. This will be the focus of our future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
