1. 万物互联(IoE)：
IoE 是 4 个关键要素之间的智能连接，即人、流程、数据和事物。它被认为是物联网(IOT)的超集。 IoE 涵盖了更广泛的连接概念，其中网络智能是物联网的基础。万物互联是物联网的延伸。
2. 物联网(IoT)：
物联网是互连物理设备/对象的网络，它通过无线网络收集和交换数据。物联网有两个主要部分，即作为连接性支柱的“互联网”和对对象/物理设备而言的“事物”。它将互联网、数据处理、分析和决策的力量带入现实世界的物理对象。
万物互联和物联网的区别：
| Serial No. | Internet of Everything (IoE) | Internet of Things (IoT) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | The term IoE is coined by CISCO. | The term IoT coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 during his work at Procter & Gamble. |
| 2. | IoE is the intelligent connection between people, process, data and things by creating ‘web of things’ which is the next generation of internet. | IoT is the network of physical devices where collection and exchange of data occurs without human intervention. |
| 3. | The goal of IoE is turning information into actions, providing data based decision making and provide new capabilities and richer experiences. | The goal of IoT is to form an ecosystem of connected objects/physical devices. Or to create an ecosystem connecting from Thing to Thing. |
| 4. | In IoE, communication occurs between Machine to Machine, Machine to People and technology assisted People to People. | In IoT, communication occurs between Machine to Machine. |
| 5. | It is more complex than IoT as IoE includes IoD (Internet of Digital), IoH (Internet of Human) and IoT (Internet of Things). | It is less complex than IoE as IoT(Internet of Things) is considered as a part of Bigger IoE ecosystem. |
| 6. | It has four pillars people, process, data, and things. | It has one pillar things i.e it focuses on physical objects only. |
| 7. | It is considered as the superset for Internet of Things(IoT), along with IoH, IoD, communication technologies and the internet iteself and it is considered a generation after IoT. | It is considered as the subset of bigger Internet of Everything(IoE) and IoT is considered one generation before IoE. |
| 8. | Example are Connecting roads with hospitals to save more lives, Connecting homes for comfort living, Connecting food and people in the supply chain, Elderly care monitoring. | Examples are Wearable health monitors, Connected appliances, Autonomous farming equipment, smarter energy management systems, Smart surveillance. |
