Abstract
Description
Several terms have been used to describe Internet of Things; Web of Things (WoT) is a
term which can be used interchangeability and it is referred to as the capability of
devices to interconnect to the World Wide Web and sharing the information and data
to one another. WoT has been mentioned in the literature to improve interconnection
between devices at all times. In WoT, two different modes of communication which are
generally mentioned in previous studies include person-to-thing (or thing-to-person)
and thing-to-thing. This paper presents an architecture for transiting from WoT to
speech-enabled WoT known as Speech of Intelligent Things (SoIT). The system
employs a combination of technologies such as system design, server-side scripting,
speech-based system tools, and data management in developing the SoIT prototype
system as a third mode of communication. This paper illustrates a scenario whereby
remote monitoring and controlling of WoT devices within the university campus might
be difficult to manage by only using the modes discussed in the literature. An evolution
of WoT to SoIT was realized using speech technology to provide a prototype system.
Technical implications involve using a telephone by connecting an object telephone
number (OTN) and dial WoT objects and establish a control mechanism. The research
limitation is mainly the cost of dialing an OTN number. The contribution of this paper
is to favor and encourage the use of speech technology to enhance the convenience of
communication between WoT devices within the school campus.
