How to understand smart city 2 - the device-cloud network chain of smart cities

As mentioned in the previous article, under the Internet thinking, the basic idea of building a smart city is no different from building a website or an APP.

The difference is that within the framework of smart cities, the scope of consideration is broader and more means can be used.

For example, when making a mobile app, you only need to consider the scenarios and features of the mobile terminal. However, a smart city involves mobile terminals, PC terminals, large screen terminals, smart hardware terminals, robot terminals, etc. It is necessary to consider which terminals to use and what their respective functions are.

Aspects that need to be considered when building a smart city: end, cloud, network, and chain.

1. End

Smart cities can involve multiple terminals.

PC, mobile phone, large screen, smart hardware, robot, etc.

In a smart city application, the decision on which terminals to use needs to be determined by specific scenarios, situations, needs, problems, user experience, etc.

2. Cloud

Cloud computing/cloud

Smart city applications often involve a large amount of data calculation, artificial intelligence and complex logic, and how to structure the cloud is a relatively big problem.

3. Network

Internet, Internet of Things.

Smart city applications often involve many people, many roles, a lot of hardware and many types of hardware. This involves how to design information flows to provide a better user experience and make human and logistics flows more efficient.

4. Chain

Blockchain.

Blockchain has expanded a greater imagination space for smart cities. It can be said that without blockchain, the development of smart cities will be very limited.

In the future, as blockchain technology becomes more and more mature, more and more blockchain-based smart city applications will emerge.
