Design and implementation of personal ICT asset management service based on smart power socket

Abstract

As the numbers of ICT assets consumers own are increasing, consumers have problems managing and maintaining their personal ICT assets. Consumers are used to unnecessary consumption because they cannot predict the lifetime of ICT assets. Also, consumers sometimes throw away old electronic devices including sensitive personal information. To solve these problems, the personal ICT Asset management service is proposed. The proposed service transfers invisible data into visible data using smart power sockets and a service platform, and it provides a convenient way to manage and maintain consumer's ICT assets.
