A semantic mechanism for Internet-of-Things (IoT) to implement intelligent interactions

Intelligent interactions of IoT mean that devices can perform proper actions and communicate with each other to support specific application scenarios without human intervention. To do this, the biggest challenge is providing IoT objects with common knowledge and abilities to analyze data and to reason. In this paper, we present a semantic mechanism to realize intelligent interactions of IoT devices on account of the semantic knowledge and machine learning technology. Based on this mechanism, a three-layer IoT system named IoT-Book is built, and every action performed by a device is deduced through analyzing the environment data and personalized preferences of the user. Finally, a smart home use case is demonstrated, and our approach is proved to be effective.
