IoT (Internet of Things) concept in Intro to Computing - Flowchart & Logic Diagram

Process Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system where everyday objects connect to the internet to send and receive data. This flowchart shows how an IoT device collects information, sends it to the cloud, and receives commands back.

This flowchart shows the step-by-step process of an IoT device collecting data, sending it to the cloud, the cloud processing it, and then sending commands back to the device.

Step-by-Step Trace - 6 Steps

Step 1: IoT device collects temperature data from a sensor.

Step 2: Device sends the temperature data to the cloud server.

Step 3: Cloud checks if temperature is above a set limit.

Step 4: Cloud sends a command to the device to turn on a fan.

Step 5: Device turns on the fan as commanded.

Step 6: Process ends until next data collection cycle.
