Design and Implementation of the Infant Incubator Intelligent Control System Based on Internet of Things

ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used in smart home control application system. But this technology is rarely used in baby care and infant incubator. In this research, an intelligent infant incubator system based on IoT is presented in detail. Firstly, the overall architecture of the system is illustrated based on layer framework of IoT. Secondly, the intelligent local gateway is designed on the basis of Zigbee technology and a type of ARM1136J board. Thirdly, the design of the system software is presented which is marked by loading balancing technology, HTTP protocol and XML. The intelligent system showed a good performance in the environmental monitoring during baby care. In the field of baby care, security issues essentially require privacy of residents and safety of families. Thus, a stable and robust security module should be included in the infant incubator intelligent control system. This will be the focus of our future work.
