In 1995 Bill Gates put forward the concept of the Internet of Things (things) in his book "The Road to the future," but the limitations of wireless networking, hardware, and sensing devices did not attract much attention. As technology progressed, the Internet and communications networks developed to a higher level, and at the World Summit on the Information Society, held in Tunis on November 17, 2005, the International Telecommunication Union issued the Internet Report 2005: IoT, formally proposing the concept of IoT and pointing out that the ubiquitous era of IoT is coming, All the world's objects, tires to toothbrushes, from houses to paper towels can be actively exchanged for information via the Internet. Premier Wen Jiabao in August 2009 in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, put forward the "perception of China", to promote the development of the Internet of things, at the end of November, Wen Jiabao in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, said again, at present, the circulation industry vigorously use network technology, especially the Internet of things technology, to achieve circulation modernization [1]. The "I-japan" proposed by Japan and the "Smart Earth" advocated by IBM have ignited the enthusiasm for the industrialization of the concept.
