The only one thing you are missing is to be specific on which sectors you have been told: home/transport or industrial.

'''Purposes, applications, characteristics and principles of IOT systems Purposes of IOT systems and services from home/ transport sector''' Internet Of Things systems helps people live and work smart and a gain and control over devices Internet Of Things is a framework which connects the physical world with digital world. Here are some purposes of Internet Of Things systems −	Is to have devices that self-report in real-time −	Improving efficiency −	Delivering important and needed information more quickly than a system depending on a human intervention. −	Exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet. −	Connecting Applications of Internet Of Things •	Smart Home The Internet Of Things in your home can make living simple and convenient. Smart home devices can enable you to manage and control your home even hen you are far away. You can connect devices and applications in your home so that they can communicate with one another wit you through commands that you provide using a remote, smartphones, smartwatches and web applications •	Wearables When I say wearables, I don’t just mean normal wearables I mean smart wearables. Wearables remain a hot topic in the market, even today Smart wearables collect and analyze data, and in some scenarios make a smart decision and provide a response to the user and are finding more and more applications in our daily life.. These devices serve a wide range of purposes ranging from medical, wellness to fitness. O

•	Smart Grids The Internet of Things smart grid enables two-way communication between connected devices and hardware that sense and respond user demands. A smart grid is more resilient and less costly that the current power infrastructure. For example, smart meters.

Smart meters can be used to measure different types of parameters, intelligent power consumption, interoperability between different networks, charging and discharging of electric vehicles manage energy efficiency and power demand •	Self-driven grids cars We’ve seen a lot about self-driven cars. Google tried it out, Tesla tested it, and even Uber came up with a version of self-driven cars that it later shelved. Since it’s human lives on the roads that we’re dealing with, we need to ensure the technology has all that it takes to ensure better safety for the passenger and those on the roads. The cars use several sensors and embedded systems connected to the cloud and the internet to keep generating data and sending them to the cloud for informed decision- making through Machine learning. •	Traffic Management Car traffic management in large cities can be greatly improved with the help of IOT. IOT help us stay informed and improves traffic monitoring by allowing us to use our mobile phones as sensors to collect and share data from our vehicle through apps like waze or google maps •	Telehealth Tele health to tele medicine, hasn’t completely flourished itself yet. Nonetheless, it has great future potential. IOT examples of telemedicine include the digital communication of medicine imaging, Medical diagnosis& evaluations, vide consultations with specialists. Characteristics of IOT: 1.	Connectivity Connectivity is an important requirement of the IOT infrastructure. Things of OIT should be connected to the IOT infrastructure. Anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyhow can connectivity should be guaranteed at all times without connection, nothing makes sense. 2.	Intelligence and Identity The extraction of knowledge from the generated data is very important. For example, a sensor generates data, but that data will only be useful if it is interpreted properly. Each IOT device has a unique identity. This identification is helpful in tracking the equipment and at times for querying its status. 3.	Scalability The number of elements connected to the IOT zone is increasing day by day. Hence, an IOT setup should be capable of handling the massive expansion. The data generated as an outcome in enormous, and it should be handled appropriately. 4.	Safety There is danger of the sensitive personal details of the users getting compromised when all his/her devices are connected to the internet. This can cause a loss to the user. Hence, data security is the major challenge. Besides, the equipment involved is huge. IOT networks may also be at risk. Therefore, equipment safely is also critical. 5.	Architecture IOT architecture cannot be homogeneous in nature it should be hybrid, supporting different manufacturers’ products to function in the IOT network. IOT is not owned by anyone engineering branch. IOT is a reality when multiple domains come together. Principles of IOT: •	Focus on value In the world of IOT, user research and service deign are more crucial than ever. While early adopters are eager to try out new technology, many others are reluctant to take new technology into use and cautious about using it, due to not feeling confident with it. For your IOT solution to become widely adopted, you need to dig deep into users’ needs in order to find out where lies a problem truly worth solving and what is the real end user value of the solution. You also need to understand what might be the barriers of adopting the new technology in general and your solution specifically. •	Take Holistic view IOT solutions consist of multiple devices with different capabilities and both are physical digital touch points. The solution may also be provided in co-operation with some multiple different service providers. •	Put Safety first As the IOT solutions are placed in the real-world context, when something goes wrong the consequences can be serious or worse. At the same time the users of the IOT solutions may be vary of using new technology, so building trust should be one of your main design drivers. But trust is built slowly but lost easily, so you really need to be keen that every interaction with the product/service builds the trust rather than breaks it. •	Build a strong brand Due to the real world context of the IOT solutions, regardless of how carefully you design things and aim to build trust, something unexpected will happen at some point your solution is somehow going to fail. In this kind of situations, it is of utmost importance, that you have built a strong brand that truly resonate with the end users.
