A design and implementation of a framework for games in IoT

Abstract

Interconnection of the sensing and actuating devices providing the ability to share information across platform through a unified framework for enabling innovative applications. This is achieved by seamless ubiquitous sensing, data analytics and information representation as the unifying framework. Extending the current internet with interconnected objects and devices and their virtual representation has been a growing trend in recent years. Internet of Things (IoT) services are becoming a popular services. This will be supported challenges in a large of aspects such as smart health, green energy, smart home and personalized applications. So, the IoT plays more and more important issue in lifestyle through entertainment such as Games. As of yet, there has not been much research done on IoT environment games as a service. In this paper, we propose schemes of the design and implantation of IT convergence framework for games as a service of IoT. First of all, we discussed what to consider when design and implementation of IT convergence framework for games through contents using user's mobile devices and various sensors in IoT environment and suggest related techniques. Then, we showed the possibility of games in the IoT environment by creating games and measuring the interactions of users in the IoT environment.

A framework for the integration of serious games and the Internet of Things (IoT)

“…Currently, there is a limited number of modular frameworks for the combination of Serious Games and the Internet of Things. Literature is continuously emerging; however most are of a preliminary nature, or are service specific [2], or offer insights towards a framework for SSGs [15].…”

“…There is a distinct lack of frameworks for the integration of Serious Games and IoT. Some research is beginning to prevail such as H Kim's paper [2], which discusses the integration of IoT and games with games as a service. Through his paper, a number of circuit diagrams arise as well as blueprint for the interconnection of mobile clients and server.…”

“…Existing research into SSGs outline bespoke frameworks [2], applications [4], [5] or extensively define the academic spectrum [1]. The previous section outlined the benefits of using modular frameworks for Serious Games, highlighting the vast potential for applications and the ease of adjustment for service specific solutions.…”

“…Application neutral frameworks present greater impact. The background research [2], provides an example for a lack of scope coming with a proposed framework, as there are specifics embedded in, that tailor to a single application.…”

“…The integration of Serious Games and the Internet of Things (IoT) is a research topic that is increasingly attracting attention from the academic community. Literature on the topic is expanding, with investigations on the combination itself [1], frameworks [2], topologies [3], and proposed applications [4], [5]. The term Smart Serious Games (SSGs) was first identified in the book by M. Favorskaya, D. Sharma et al [1].…”
