As the fundamental element of the Internet of Things, the QR code has become increasingly crucial for connecting online and offline services. Concerning e-commerce and logistics, we mainly focus on how to identify QR codes quickly and accurately. An adaptive binarization approach is proposed to solve the problem of uneven illumination in warehouse automatic sorting systems. Guided by cognitive modeling, we adaptively select the block window of the QR code for robust binarization under uneven illumination. The proposed method can eliminate the impact of uneven illumination of QR codes effectively whilst meeting the real-time needs in the automatic warehouse sorting. Experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed approach when benchmarked with several state-of-the-art methods.

The stable temperature in the laboratories is the major requirement for ensuring safety at work. The changes in the temperature which are oftentimes caused by precisely unrecognized factor may provide hazardous impacts on humans who are working in such place. Similar researches were conducted; however, they did not use NodeMCU as a microcontroller and MQTT protocol. This study tried to build a real-time temperature observation system using MQTT protocol based on the Internet of Things which has a fast delivery speed message. The temperature and humidity were captured by using DHT22 sensor that were then stored in database for one month. The result showed that the temperature change of the laboratory could be rapidly detected through the tests process on a certain heat-produced device. It could be analyzed periodically using the real-time application so that the impact of temperature rise could be detected quickly.

In this chapter, I examine trends in today's news-orientated interfaces and the impact of digital interfaces on news consumption. Digital interfaces will be differentiated from traditional informational sources such as newspapers and television news. Additionally, I will explore several major characteristics or trends germane to today's news interfaces and their implications for how people consume news and, more generally, for how they transform information services: a) rapid innovation, b) interactivity, c) social, d) standardization, e) scale, f) media convergence and, g) the Internet of Things and Big Data.
