THINGSBOOK: MERGING THINGS INTO SNS USING IOT
At present, Social Networking Services (SNS) mainly focus on peoples information (e.g.interests and activities) and often provide a profile for each user.However, information of things, which is also very important for people, has not been involved in current SNS.In this paper, we present a novel social network framework called Thingsbook, which merges things of the real physical world into social network through our designed mobile terminals based rchitecture of Internet of Things (IoT).With Thingsbook, every user can take participation in sensing the states of things by ubiquitous mobile terminals in a Participatory Sensing way.This paper explicitly relates the concept and implementation of Thingsbook framework.We also conduct experiments involving 20 volunteers and show the evaluation. Whether the evaluation results from our testbed or positive responses from volunteers show that Thingsbook is a promising and interesting social network model.
