摘要

智慧聯網係一個廣泛的定義與概念，國際間目前尚無一致的共識。本文係在智慧聯網聯結於網路的前提下，探討「智慧聯網」與「巨量資料」彼此相互間之關係。從白宮、聯邦貿易委員會及美國國會近年來隱私權保護法制變革趨勢，可以觀察：「從設計著手保護隱私」、「簡化選項」及「更佳透明化」已經成為三大重要原則。同時，聯邦貿易委員會也開始正視智慧聯網技術趨勢下，消費者隱私權及資訊安全二項議題。本文因此建議我國廠商，在前端研發設計階段，應即著手保護隱私。同時，在智慧聯網和巨量資料資通訊技術整合趨勢下，我國主管機關得參考美國聯邦貿易委員會近來關於消費性電子產品之隱私權保護執法，落實消費者權益保障。

Internet of Things (IoT) is an expansive term, encompassing a wide range of systems and technologies with one key feature: direct communication between different devices and objects, typically in near-real-time. Under the premise that the IoT should be connected to the Internet, the author will make efforts to construct a bilateral relationship between IoT and big data. After the examination of the relevant policies and the Congress Bills, the article will primarily focus on the issue of privacy and will identify three basic principles: Privacy-by-Design (PbD), Simplified Choice for businesses and consumers, and Greater Transparency. The author recommends that as an ICT leader in the East Asia, Taiwan should be aware of the recent trend.
