The growing technological capacities result in a constant growth of the area where the concept of the Internet of Things can be applied. This occurs through installation of sensors that enable data transfer in a great number of areas. Information maximisation leads to simplified decision-making process. The final customer will be provided to the receiver (e.g. smartphone) specific, resulting information, which will allow for making effective, on-the-spot decisions. Presently, the number of devices that communicate with the use of the Internet in order to gather data, process particular functions as well as supporting man in implementing particular social or business processes is tremendous. This concerns in particular the basic areas of everyday human life (KryĆkiewicz, 2016).
