Abstract

In a situation in which around 50 million metric tons of electrical and electronic products is generated globally per year, the total installed base of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is projected to amount to around 75 billion worldwide by 2025. However, there is very little research on identification schemes for end-of-life treatment (EoLT) of IoT devices. To address this issue, this paper proposes new identifiers including EoLT information such as recyclability rate (Rcyc) and recoverability rate (Rcov) of an IoT device, recycling rate (RCR) and recovery rate (RVR) of each part in the IoT device, etc. and implements them by using object identifier (OID), mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) and quick response (QR) code. The implemented OID and mobile RFID can be used with cooperation of a remote server via communication networks and the implemented QR code can be used simply with a smartphone app.

전 세계적으로 매년 약 5천만 톤의 전기 및 전자 폐기물이 발생하고 있는 상황에서 사물인터넷 디바이스가 2025년 약 750억 개에 달할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 그러나 사물인터넷 디바이스의 폐기 처리에 필요한 식별 기법에 대한 연구는 미미하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 사물인터넷 디바이스의 재활용 가능률과 재생 가능률, 각 부품의 재활용률 및 재생률 등의 EoLT(End-of-Life Treatment) 정보를 포함한 식별자를 제안하며, 객체 식별자, 모바일 RFID 및 QR 코드로 구현한다. 구현된 객체 식별자와 모바일 RFID는 통신 네트워크를 통해 원격 서버와 연동하여 사용될 수 있고, 구현된 QR 코드는 스마트폰 앱을 통해 간단히 사용될 수 있다.
