How to use IoT devices to keep children safe?
|
||||

_IoT (Internet of Things) devices are transforming our lives rapidly. These devices are everywhere, from our homes to industries. According to some estimates, there will be 10 billion IoT devices by 2020. By 2025, the number of IoT devices will grow to 22 billion. IoT has found its application in a range of fields, including smart homes, industrial processes, agriculture, and even healthcare. With such a wide variety of applications, it is obvious why IoT has become one of the hot topics in recent years._
|
||||
|
||||
Several factors have contributed to the explosion of IoT devices in multiple disciplines. These include the availability of low-cost processors and wireless connectivity. Moreover, open-source platforms have enabled the exchange of information in driving innovation in the field of IoT. Compared with conventional application development, IoT has developed exponentially because its resources are open-source.
|
||||
Before explaining how IoT can be used to protect children, a basic understanding of IoT technology is essential.
|
||||
|
||||
**What are IoT devices?**
|
||||
IoT devices are those that can communicate with each other, without the involvement of humans. Hence, smartphones and computers are not considered as IoT devices by many experts. Moreover, IoT devices must be able to gather data and communicate it to other devices or the cloud for processing.
|
||||
|
||||
However, there are some fields where we need to explore the potential for IoT. Children are vulnerable, which makes them an easy target for criminals and others who mean to harm them. Whether in the physical or digital world, children are susceptible to crime. Since parents cannot be physically present to protect their children at all times; that’s where the need for monitoring tools is obvious.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to wearable devices for children, there are plenty of parental monitoring applications such as Xnspy that monitor children in real-time and provide live updates. These tools ensure that the child is safe. While wearable devices ensure that the child is not physically in danger, parental monitoring apps ensure that the child is safe online.
|
||||
|
||||
As more children spend time on their smartphones, it is no surprise to see them becoming the primary target for frauds and scammers. Moreover, there is also a chance of children becoming targets of cyberbullying because pedophilia, catfishing, and other crimes are prevalent on the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
Are these solutions enough? We need to find IoT solutions for ensuring our children’s safety, both online and offline. How can we keep children secure in these times? We need to come up with new and innovative solutions that keep our children safe. The solutions provided by IoT can help keep our children safe in schools as well as homes.
|
||||
|
||||
**The potential of IoT**
|
||||
The benefits offered by IoT devices are numerous. For one, parents can remotely monitor their children without being too overbearing. Thus, children have space and freedom to become independent while having a safe environment to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, parents do not have to worry about their children’s safety. IoT devices can provide 24/7 updates about a child. Monitoring apps such as Xnspy go a step further in providing information regarding a child’s smartphone activity. As IoT devices become more sophisticated, it is only a matter of time before we have devices with increased battery life. IoT devices such as location tracking can provide accurate details regarding a child’s whereabouts, so parents do not have to worry.
|
||||
|
||||
While wearable devices are great to have, these are often not enough, when ensuring a child’s safety. Hence, to provide a safe environment for children, we need other methods. Many incidents have shown that schools are just as susceptible to attacks than any other public place. Therefore, schools need to adopt safety measures that keep children and teachers safe. In this, IoT devices can be used to detect threats and take necessary action to prevent the onslaught of an attack. The threat detection system can include cameras. Once the system detects a threat, it can notify the authorities, including law enforcement agencies and hospitals. Devices such as smart locks can be used to lock down the school, including classrooms, to protect children. In addition to this, parents can be informed about their child’s safety, receive immediate alerts on threats. It would require the implementation of wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi and sensors. Thus, schools need to create a budget that is specifically for providing security in the classroom.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart homes have made it possible to turn off lights with a clap, or telling your home assistant to do so. Likewise, IoT devices can be used in a house to protect children. In a home, IoT devices such as cameras can be used to provide parents with 100% visibility when looking after the children. When parents aren’t in the house, cameras and other sensors can be used to detect if any suspicious activity takes place. Other devices, such as smart locks connected to these sensors, can lock the doors, windows, and bedrooms to ensure that the kids are safe.
|
||||
Likewise, there are plenty of IoT solutions that can be introduced to keep kids safe.
|
||||
|
||||
**Just as bad as they are good**
|
||||
Sensors in IoT devices create an enormous amount of data. The safety of the data is a crucial factor. The data gathered on a child falling into the wrong hands is a risk. Hence, precautions are required. Any data data breached from your IoT devices can be used to determine behavior patterns. So one must invest in providing safe IoT solutions that do not breach user privacy.
|
||||
|
||||
Often IoT devices connect to the Wi-Fi to transmit data between devices. Unsecure networks that deal with unencrypted data pose certain risks. Such networks are easy to eavesdrop. Hackers can use such network points to hack the system. They can also introduce malware into the system, making it vulnerable. Moreover, cyberattacks on devices and public networks such as those in schools can lead to data breaches and theft of private data. Hence, an overall plan for protecting the network and IoT devices must be in effect when implementing an IoT solution for the protection of children.
|
||||
|
||||
The potential of IoT devices to protect children in schools and homes is yet to find innovation. We need more effort to protect the network that connects IoT devices. Moreover, the data generated by an IoT device can fall into the wrong hands, causing more trouble. So this is one area where IoT security is essential.

如何使用物联网设备来确保儿童安全?
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
[![][1]][2]
|
||||
|
||||
IoT (物联网)设备正在迅速改变我们的生活。这些设备无处不在,从我们的家庭到其它行业。根据一些预测数据,到2020年,将会有100亿个 IoT 设备。到2025年,该数量将增长到220亿。目前,物联网已经在很多领域得到了应用,包括智能家居,工业生产过程,农业甚至医疗保健领域。伴随着如此广泛的应用,物联网显然已经成为近年来的热门话题之一。
|
||||
多种因素促成了物联网设备在多个学科的爆炸式增长。这其中包括低成本处理器和无线连接的的可用性, 以及开源平台的信息交流推动了物联网领域的创新。与传统的应用程序开发相比,物联网设备的开发成指数级增长,因为它的资源是开源的。
|
||||
在解释如何使用物联网设备来保护儿童之前,必须对物联网技术有基本的了解。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**IOT 设备是什么?**
|
||||
IOT 设备是指那些在没有人类参与的情况下彼此之间可以通信的设备。 因此,许多专家并不将智能手机和计算机视为物联网设备。 此外,物联网设备必须能够收集数据并且能将收集到的数据传送到其他设备或云端进行处理。
|
||||
|
||||
然而,在某些领域中,我们需要探索物联网的潜力。 儿童往往是脆弱的,他们很容易成为犯罪分子和其他蓄意伤害者的目标。 无论在物理世界还是数字世界中,儿童都很容易犯罪。 因为父母不能始终亲自到场保护孩子; 这就是为什么需要监视工具了。
|
||||
|
||||
除了适用于儿童的可穿戴设备外,还有许多父母监视应用程序,例如Xnspy,可实时监控儿童并提供信息的实时更新。 这些工具可确保儿童安全。 可穿戴设备确保儿童身体上的安全性,而家长监控应用可确保儿童的上网安全。
|
||||
|
||||
由于越来越多的孩子花费时间在智能手机上,毫无意外地,他们也就成为诈骗分子的主要目标。 此外,由于恋童癖,网络自夸和其他犯罪在网络上的盛行,儿童也有可能成为网络欺凌的目标。
|
||||
|
||||
这些解决方案够吗? 我们需要找到物联网解决方案,以确保孩子们在网上和线下的安全。 在当代,我们如何确保孩子的安全? 我们需要提出创新的解决方案。 物联网可以帮助保护孩子在学校和家里的安全。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**物联网的潜力**
|
||||
物联网设备提供的好处很多。 举例来说,父母可以远程监控自己的孩子,而又不会显得太霸道。 因此,儿童在拥有安全环境的同时也会有空间和自由让自己变得独立。
|
||||
而且,父母也不必在为孩子的安全而担忧。物联网设备可以提供7x24小时的信息更新。像 Xnspy 之类的监视应用程序在提供有关孩子的智能手机活动信息方面更进了一步。随着物联网设备变得越来越复杂,拥有更长使用寿命的电池只是一个时间问题。诸如位置跟踪器之类的物联网设备可以提供有关孩子下落的准确详细信息,所以父母不必担心。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然可穿戴设备已经非常好了,但在确保儿童安全方面,这些通常还远远不够。因此,要为儿童提供安全的环境,我们还需要其他方法。许多事件表明,学校比其他任何公共场所都容易受到攻击。因此,学校需要采取安全措施,以确保儿童和教师的安全。在这一点上,物联网设备可用于检测潜在威胁并采取必要的措施来防止攻击。威胁检测系统包括摄像头。系统一旦检测到威胁,便可以通知当局,如一些执法机构和医院。智能锁等设备可用于封锁学校(包括教室),来保护儿童。除此之外,还可以告知父母其孩子的安全,并立即收到有关威胁的警报。这将需要实施无线技术,例如 Wi-Fi 和传感器。因此,学校需要制定专门用于提供教室安全性的预算。
|
||||
|
||||
智能家居实现拍手关灯,也可以让你的家庭助手帮你关灯。 同样,物联网设备也可用在屋内来保护儿童。 在家里,物联网设备(例如摄像头)为父母在照顾孩子时提供100%的可见性。 当父母不在家里时,可以使用摄像头和其他传感器检测是否发生了可疑活动。 其他设备(例如连接到这些传感器的智能锁)可以锁门和窗,以确保孩子们的安全。
|
||||
|
||||
同样,可以引入许多物联网解决方案来确保孩子的安全。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**有多好就有多坏**
|
||||
物联网设备中的传感器会创建大量数据。 数据的安全性是至关重要的一个因素。 收集的有关孩子的数据如果落入不法分子手中会存在危险。 因此,需要采取预防措施。 IoT 设备中泄露的任何数据都可用于确定行为模式。 因此,必须投资提供不违反用户隐私的安全物联网解决方案。
|
||||
|
||||
IoT 设备通常连接到 Wi-Fi,用于设备之间传输数据。未加密数据的不安全网络会带来某些风险。 这样的网络很容易被窃听。 黑客可以使用此类网点来入侵系统。 他们还可以将恶意软件引入系统,从而使系统变得脆弱,易受攻击。 此外,对设备和公共网络(例如学校的网络)的网络攻击可能导致数据泄露和私有数据盗用。 因此,在实施用于保护儿童的物联网解决方案时,保护网络和物联网设备的总体计划必须生效。
|
||||
|
||||
物联网设备保护儿童在学校和家里的安全的潜力尚未发现有什么创新。 我们需要付出更多努力来保护连接 IoT 设备的网络安全。 此外,物联网设备生成的数据可能落入不法分子手中,从而造成更多麻烦。 因此,这是物联网安全至关重要的一个领域。
