Background：
1、 In 1990, The Internet of things put into practice earlyest can traced back to 1990- Xerox's Networked Coke Machine.
2.In 1999, International Conference on mobile computing and Internet was held in the United States, professor Ashton of MIT Auto-ID Center first proposed the concept of Internet of Things, when he is studying the RFID. He proposed Combined with product coding, RFID and Internet technology solutions. At that time, based on the Internet, RFID technology, EPC standard, based on the computer Internet, using the radio frequency identification technology, wireless communication technology, etc., to create a global things information real-time sharing network--- "Internet of things" , that is the base of 2003 Huaxia internet of things upsurge. International Conference on Mobile Computing and Internet in the United States proposed "sensor network is another development opportunity for mankind in the next century."
3、 In 2003, the US "technical commentary" proposed sensor Network technology will become to the most important of the top ten technologies to change the human being’s life in the future.
4、On 17 November 2005, World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Tunisia, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) issued “the ITU Internet Report 2005: Internet of Things”, which quote the concept of "Internet of Things". The definition and scope of the Internet of Things has changed, the coverage has been greatly expanded, not just refers to the Internet based on RFID technology.
5、 After 2008, in order to promote technological development, to find new economic growth point, governments began to pay attention to the next generation of technology program, and turn eyes on the Internet of things.
In November, 2008, Peking University, China, The second term of China Mobile government Seminar was held “knowledge society and innovation 2.0" proposed mobile technology, the development of Internet of Things technology represents a new generation of information technology formed, and led the economic ,social and innovation form, which promote Knowledge oriented society the user experience as the core the next generation Innovation form (Innovation 2.0) formed, The innovation and development are more concerned with the users, focusing on people-oriented. And the formation of innovative 2.0 form further promote the healthy development of a new generation of information technology.
6、In January 28, 2009, Obama inaugural the president of United States, with US industrial and commercial leaders held a "round table", as one of only two representatives, IBM CEO Peng Mingsheng first proposed " Smart Earth " concept , recommended that the new government invest in a new generation of intelligent infrastructure. That year, the United States will be the new energy and Internet of Things as the revitalization of the two major economic focus.
7、In February 24, 2009, 2009 IBM Forum, IBM Greater China CEO Qian Daqun published the latest strategy of "smart Earth". Once this concept raised, got high attention from all walks of life in the United States , even analysis that IBM's idea may will rise to the United States national strategy, and Cause a sensation around the world .
IBM believes that the next stage task of IT industry is to fully use the new generation IT technology in all walks of life, specifically, using the sensor embedded and equipped in the power grid, railways, bridges, tunnels, roads, construction, water supply Systems, dams, oil and gas pipelines and other objects, and generally connected to form the network of things. At the strategic press conference, IBM also proposed that if the implementation of the infrastructure, implanted "smart" concept, not only can stimulate the economy in the short term, promote employment, but also can building the Mature intellectual infrastructure platform in a short time.
IBM hopes that the "smart earth" strategy can set off another revolution in science and technology industry after the "Internet" wave. IBM ex-chief executive Lou Gerstner raises an important standpoint that the computing model will change each 15 years. This judgment is as accurate as Moore's Law, and been called "fifteen-year cycle law".
Around 1965, the revolution marked by the mainframe, Around 1980, marked by the popularity of personal computers, around 1995, the internet revolution. Each time such kind of technological revolution will raise the significant turbulence and changes competitive pattern among enterprises, industries, even countries. To a certain extent, the Internet revolution was ripened by the US "information highway" strategy.
In the 1990s, the US Clinton administration planned to build the US national information infrastructure spent 20 years and cost $ 200 billion to $ 400 billion, to create enormous economic and social benefits.
Today, Many Americans think, the “smart earth" strategy are similarities as the "information highway". They also think which will be the key strategy to revitalize the economy and to establish competitive advantage. Is the strategy can a new drive as the Internet revolution, not only concerned United States, so as the world?
8、In August 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao inspected the Chinese Academy of Sciences Wuxi Internet of things Industry Research Institute, also puts forward some opinions and requirements, Since the Premier Wen proposed "perception of China", the Internet of Things has been officially listed as one of the Five emerging strategic industries, and wrote into the "government work report". In China, the Internet of Things are concern by the whole society, the United States, the European Union, and other countries are incomparable.
The concept of Internet of things is already a "Made in China" concept, it coverage move with the times, and have beyond the 1999 Professor Ashton and 2005 ITU report scope, the Internet has been labeled "Chinese".
Till 2010, the NDRC, Ministry of Industry and other ministries and commissions jointly with the other relevant departments, to performing research a new generation of information technology, to form some new policy to support the new information technology , and to promote China's economic development.
