A Study on the Characteristics of IoT Environment from the Perspective of Mediatization - Based on the Case Study of IoT Awards

The present study focused on the concept of mediatization to analyze the cases of IoT(Internet of Things) technology and thus to consider the aspects of IoT environment from the perspective of change in daily routines resulting from media use in everyday life. In this context, the change in everyday life due to mediatization was analyzed from the perspective of spatial and temporal expansion and personalization. Based on the analysis findings, relevant cases were analyzed among the IoT Awards winners(2015/2016). The case analysis shed light on such aspects as remote control, real-time information provision, social network responsiveness, cooperative relationship building with existing devices and expansive use and scope of existing space from the perspective of spatial and temporal expansion. Also, the case analysis derived such aspects as personalized service provision, diversified and sophisticated choices, convenience of installation and use, and intuitive use from the perspective of personalization
