解説
問 13
Incorrectア
‘The learning mechanism in artificial intelligence’ describes machine learning; it is a concept in the AI field and is a different thing from IoT.
- イ
正解 IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a mechanism in which various ‘things’ that embed sensors, control units, and the like connect directly to the Internet and exchange information with one another over a network. Choice イ is exactly this definition, so it is the correct answer. Typical examples include home appliances, cars, and factory equipment connecting to the network and sending and receiving the collected data for use in control and analysis.
Incorrectウ
‘A collection of functions and procedures that exposes part of a software’s functionality so that it can be used by other programs’ describes an API (Application Programming Interface), not the definition of IoT.
Incorrectエ
‘A tool that uses software robots to make routine, standardized tasks more efficient’ describes RPA (Robotic Process Automation), a concept different from IoT.
ここがポイント
- IoT (Internet of Things) = a mechanism in which ‘things’ equipped with sensors and control units connect directly to the Internet and exchange information with one another over a network.
- The key to scoring is to distinguish and memorize the definitions of the easily confused, closely related terms (AI/machine learning, API, RPA).
