The document discusses a smart hardware platform that enables end-to-end management of hardware devices and add-on services through an integrated hardware and software solution. It aims to allow remote management of devices after production for customization based on business needs. This is an improvement over managing hardware through mobile applications alone. The platform provides capabilities like OS management, security, IoT capabilities, and analytics reports. It works by pushing a custom boot configuration to devices when they connect to remotely manage the device lifecycle. Example use cases discussed include smart city applications and an iTaksi platform.

SMART HARDWARE PLATFORM
An integrated hardware and software
platform, that enables end-to-end,
secure and manageable services.
3. SMART HARDWARE PLATFORM 3
INDUSTRY PAIN POINT
To manage hardware and hardware's
operating system after production, remotely,
for fully customization of the device based
on business needs -kiosk mode, specific
wall paper etc- and to manage mobile
applications seamlessly

COMMON APPROACH THAT FAILS
Managing the hardware and hardwares
operating system through mobile
application
5. SMART HARDWARE PLATFORM 5
OUR APPROACH THAT SUCCEEDS

HOW IT WORKS
Devices that come with customized
firmware based on client needs -as
soon as they connect to Internet- are
being pushed a custom boot
configuration by Management Platform
9. Configuration Options
Various functions can be set by Management Platform
SMART HARDWARE PLATFORM 9
} Custom Logo at Boot
} Peripheral (usb, serial etc) Access Control
} Application Permission (Whitelist or Block)
} Connection Control (WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM etc)
10. Device Lifecycle Management
Processes that can be evaluated per device or per set of devices using Management Platform
SMART HARDWARE PLATFORM 10
} Firmware Update
} Application Install, Update and Delete
} Collecting data generated by sensors connected to device
} Collecting visuals from cameras connected to device
} Storing data in the cloud that generated by device operation
} Processing analytics
13. Usage Scenarios
With built-in App Store, integrated sensors and extensible connectivity options, it is easy
to put Smart Hardware Platform as a central hub for Smart City Applications.
