物聯網趨勢影響之下產品設計活動轉變之研究

Abstract

隨著科技技術的進步，帶來行動計算的普及、感測裝置成本的下降、網路協定等環境因素的轉變，造就物聯網趨勢的興起。物聯網實體產品具備收集數據的感測能力、將數據傳至雲端平台的網路連結能力、通過雲端運算下達指令於多個產品以服務使用者的能力。在此基礎下，產品的能力不若以往受限於硬體本身，已能整合產品背後龐大的服務系統，成就新一波的產品改革。物聯網趨勢引入產品創新商機，同時帶進傳統領域定義的變革。產品設計師對於產品的造型定義與功能定義，若仍僅僅沿用傳統設計原則，從單一物件思考，將無法利用物聯網架構下的設計因子從中締造價值。本研究藉由藉由案例分析法，探討物聯網產品對營運模式帶來的創新機會，藉此歸納出物聯網趨勢帶來產品設計活動的轉變。With the great advancement of technology, bringing alone mobile computing more popular, bringing down the cost of sensing device and the changes of setting factors, network protocols for instance. These allow a risen of Internet of Things (IoT).The entity product with IoT properties has capability to collect data by using sensor, updating the data to cloud by network connecting, and through the cloud computing to issue instruction in a variety of products to serve users. Under this basis, the products can be able to overcome the limitation to the hardware itself in the past. And it has been able to integrate the huge service system behind the product, bringing a new wave of products reform. Internet of Things (IoT) introduced the innovation to products, resulting in a transformation of the traditional business definitions. If a product designer sticks to traditional principles of design for modeling and function definitions, and think of a single object, he will not take advantage of the factor of IoT which can create value. The study summed up the changes for product design activities which caused by IoT trend. We explored the innovation of business model create by IoT product wth case analysis, whereby sum the changes of IoT trend brings to product design activities.
