Summary: As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to permeate diverse industries and numerous application scenarios, the demand for customized, ubiquitous, and high quality of IoT services is rapidly increasing. Furthermore, vertical industry users generate massive, multimodal, and time-sensitive data, demanding tailored IoT services that leverage domain-specific expertise. Industry users are generally well-acquainted with their business requirements but may have limited knowledge of the technical configurations of IoT networks and devices. Enabling IoT systems to recognize and interpret users' business intents and translate them into actionable system configurations would greatly enhance operational efficiency and streamline management processes. Intent perception and processing capabilities in IoT effectively address above challenge, enabling the seamless implementation of user intents. Through capabilities such as intent acquisition, intent translation, intent-based configuration, and intent-based optimization, IoT systems can bridge the gap between users' business expertise and the technical complexities of IoT networks and devices. Intent perception enables IoT systems to identify and understand users’ and system-generated intents, while intent processing translates these intents into actionable configurations tailored to real-time network and device conditions. This process helps to transform the IoT operation system from a static profile-based system to a dynamic system that can understand and respond to industry users’ business requirements and high-level objectives in real time. This approach helps industry users achieve automated, intelligent, reliable and real-time verifiable IoT operations without the need to delve into the complexities of IoT technical issues. By meeting the growing demand for diverse, customized, and high-quality services, intent perception and processing capabilities can advance IoT technologies, paving the way for adaptive, user-centric ecosystems that can support smarter, more versatile, and scalable applications in various industries.
