2.4.2 M2P connections

Machine-to-people (M2P) connections occur when information is transferred between a machine (such as a computer, mobile device, or digital sign) and a person, as shown in Figure 20. Whether a person gets information from a database, or conducts a complex analysis, this is an M2P connection. These M2P connections facilitate the movement, manipulation, and reporting of data from machines to help people make informed judgments. The actions that people take based on their informed judgments complete an IoE feedback loop.
