When a wifi based device, for example, your mobile phone is connecting with Wifi, there is some data generated.

To make use of those data, we can do some interesting thing, even magic!

We scan the Wifi, save the data from the office network, and log the device status on the network.

By long term analytics, we can generate the report of which device join or leave and when.

On the other hand, we can make full use of those data like controller the light and saving the power, controller the AirCon, and analytics the security of the wifi network.

中文简介:

我们利用wifi网络上的信息, 做无线的签到(比如员工上下班, 午饭时间等).

当一个wifi设备, 比如你的手机, 链接到公司wifi的时候, 实际上产生了一些数据. 这些数据可以被利用来做一些有意思的事情.

我们通过扫描wifi, 以及一些人工的命名, 来确定一些设备, 并且记录这些设备的状态.

长期来看, 这些数据可以用来创建一份报告, 记录这些设备加入和离开的时间. 而用户则完全不用做任何事情, 只要带着手机就可以了.

在其他方面, 我们可以用这样的技术来做一些其他的事情, 比如关灯, 节省能源, 控制空调的温度, 监控网络安全等.
