In this article, we design and realize a novel near field communication（NFC）-driven smart home system for Io T, which integrates the wireless sensor network（WSN）, social networks, and the cloud computing. NFC technology provides a way for users to exchange information between them and the system by simply contacting. So, we propose to use NFC as the system drive in the architecture, such that users can intuitively interact with the system and deliver their intentions. Then, the corresponding service over the system will control or adjust the “things” at home to fit users＇ needs. Furthermore, the proposed system provides a platform for developers to easily and rapidly implement their smart home related services. In the system, WSN sensing and control, NFC communications and identification, user profile management and preference analysis, and social network integration are all provided as platform services. We will show how the system works for home automation, intruder detection, and social network sharing.展开更多

For millions of residents to interact with smart grid in the future, there should be an economical and practical schedule to realize the information exchange in low voltage. In this paper, an autonomously developed smart grid product, the optical fiber composite low voltage cable (OPLC), is introduced. OPLC has brought simultaneous transmission of power flow and information flow into reality and solved the high-speed and reliable terminal broadband access problem in the 400 volts power grid. By adopting OPLC and advanced information and communication technologies, such as network security isolation equipment and ethernet passive optical network (EPON), power fiber to the home (PFTTH) (a new network structure from low voltage side of distribution transformer to the household) is presented. The typical application in the smart grid community based on PFTTH shows that PFTTH can integrate electric network businesses and public network businesses in the same cable. The pilots of smart grid communities prove PFTTH is successful in smart grid application, and is an effective and attractive way for the co-development of energy and information.展开更多
