Container-Based Multi-purpose IoT Architecture for User-Friendly Applications with Cloud Chatbot Agent

IoT is a new era technology that can be used by end users because of its functionality and necessity. Most of IoT devices are aimed at versatile smart devices, and these features need to be conveniently provided to users, such as for use in mobile. In addition, these devices must be able to tailor various functions and purposes to the needs of the user. Currently, open source platform provides flexibility in perspective of the developers in order to enable multi-purpose as a single device in terms of requirements for end users. However, this flexibility should be reconsidered from the end users, too. In this paper, we propose the cloud based multi-purpose IoT and provide convenience to the end user through the chatbot agent for end user friendliness. In addition, container technology is applied for versatility and flexibility of devices. These researches can be useful in multi-purpose robot pendants, protocol conversion genders in factory area, and motor boxes that can convert gears in smart toys situations where change flexibility and affinity are required according to the request of users.
