Smart Lock System

Abstract

The thesis was initiated by an idea to control the student’s access to the I2A area. The main idea consisted of letting the student to use their phones to unlock the doors. Later the idea was expanded- where added more functionalities (Not just to lock and unlock the door using the mobile phone) such as student monitoring and integration to student project management system. The development of the thesis work involved a lot of research in the field of wireless communications, embedded systems and software design. As a result, a Smart Lock System was developed for the thesis work to remotely control the access to critical area. The whole process of the work lasted six months and it was conducted in Technobothnia laboratory. The System is based on the Bluetooth modules, serial communication, embedded system and client/server GUI application. The two Bluetooth modules were used to pass wirelessly the data between the M.D. and PC. Embedded system was used to verify the data which was passed from the users and control the door. The GUI application was used as a monitoring system.
