Internet Hardware Mash-up Using Bluetooth
In the "Internet of Things" vision, the physical world becomes integral with computer networks. Embedded computers or visual markers on everyday objects allow things and information about them to be accessible in the digital world. However, this integration is based on competing standards and requires custom solutions, thus requires extensive time and technical expertise. Based on the success of Web 2.0 mash-up applications, we propose a similar approach for integrating real-world devices to the Web, allowing for them to be easily combined with other virtual and physical resources. In this paper, we discuss the possible integration method, in particular how the REST principles can be applied to embedded devices. Finally, we show how internet interactions can be leveraged to quickly create new prototypes and mash-ups that combine the physical and virtual world.
