A smart device is an electronic device, generally connected to other devices or networks via different wireless protocols (such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, near-field communication, Wi-Fi, LiFi, or 5G) that can operate to some extent interactively and autonomously. Several notable types of smart devices are smartphones, smart speakers, smart cars, smart thermostats, smart doorbells, smart locks, smart refrigerators, phablets and tablets, smartwatches, smart bands, smart keychains, smart glasses, and many others. The term can also refer to a device that exhibits some properties of ubiquitous computing, including—although not necessarily—machine learning. Smart devices can be designed to support a variety of form factors, a range of properties pertaining to ubiquitous computing and to be used in three main system environments: physical world, human-centered environments, and distributed computing environments. Smart homes indicate the presence of sensors and some detection devices, appliances, and a database to control them. In 1991 Mark Weiser proposed three basic forms for ubiquitous system devices: tabs, pads and boards. Tabs: accompanied or wearable centimetre sized devices, e.g., smartphones, smart cards Pads: hand-held decimetre-sized devices, e.g., laptops Boards: meter sized interactive display devices, e.g., horizontal surface computers and vertical SMART boards. These three forms proposed by Weiser are characterized by being macro-sized, having a planar form and by incorporating visual output displays. These were also envisioned more as information appliances. If each of these three characteristics is relaxed, this range can be expanded into a much more diverse and potentially more useful range of ubiquitous computing devices. Smart devices are typically composed of a hardware layer (including a radio that transmits signals), a network layer (through which devices communicate with each other), and an application layer (through which end users deliver commands).

Internet des objets
vignette|upright=1.5|Différents aspects de l’Internet des objets. LInternet des objets ou IdO (en anglais (the) Internet of Things ou IoT) est l'interconnexion entre l'Internet et des objets, des lieux et des environnements physiques. L'appellation désigne un nombre croissant d'objets connectés à Internet permettant ainsi une communication entre nos biens dits physiques et leurs existences numériques. Ces formes de connexions permettent de rassembler de nouvelles masses de données sur le réseau et donc, de nouvelles connaissances et formes de savoirs.
Enceinte connectée
vignette|redresse|Un modèle d'enceinte connectée, ici le Google Home de Google. Une enceinte connectée ou haut-parleur intelligent est un type de haut-parleur sans fil à commande vocale, associé à un assistant personnel intelligent intégré, qui propose des actions interactives et des commandes à mains libres à l'aide d'un ou plusieurs mots-clés. Les enceintes connectées ajoutent à l'enceinte une utilisation de services distants par une connexion sans fil.
Information appliance
An information appliance (IA) is an appliance that is designed to easily perform a specific electronic function such as playing music, photography, or editing text. Typical examples are smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Information appliances partially overlap in definition with, or are sometimes referred to as, smart devices, embedded systems, mobile devices or wireless devices. The term information appliance was coined by Jef Raskin around 1979.
