With the development and popularization of artificial intelligence, as well as the rapid popularization of hardware such as sensors and data collection equipment, an intelligent lifestyle is gradually becoming the consensus of society. As the connection point between the physical world and the digital world, the Internet of Things (IoT) can transmit data from the physical world to the cloud in real time for processing and analysis, thereby realizing intelligent applications. At the same time, based on deep learning algorithms, raw data from different sensors can be predictively analyzed to obtain richer intelligent services. Therefore, by utilizing various sensor devices, cloud computing resources and big data warehouses in smart cities to integrate data, and applying deep learning technology, a smart city with highly intelligent functions can be built. Smart cities can help solve growing pollution problems, air quality detection, water supply quality management, traffic safety management, urban maintenance management and other problems. At the same time, the competitiveness and efficiency of the real estate market can also be improved through intelligent management, precise allocation, refined operations and other means to provide residents with a higher quality of life.
2. Explanation of basic concepts and terms
2.1 Sensor
A sensor is a device used to monitor or measure various regular phenomena in objects or the environment. In smart cities, sensors mainly include environmental sensors (such as temperature, humidity, illumination, moisture content, etc.), location sensors (such as GPS positioning, barometer, camera, etc.), smart meters, and environmental control systems (such as fans or elevator doors) wait. Sensors can record and translate various information in the environment, and send this information to network servers for processing and analysis to provide valuable information to city managers and decision-makers.
2.2 Intelligent terminal
Intelligent terminals refer to terminal products composed of electronic computers, microcomputers, wireless communication modules and other related supporting hardware. Their main functions are to implement information collection, data processing, result feedback and other functions. In smart cities, smart terminals mainly include smart phones, smart bracelets, smart car machines, smart fitness balls, smart sockets, etc. Smart terminals can collect raw data from different sensor devices and upload them to the cloud for processing.
