Our project is primarily a security device that allows a client to be authenticated remotely (approx. 20-30 yards away) and given access to a facility, entry to a building, control of lights or other devices, etc. Secondly it is a Biometric information transmitter that could be used to transmit patents bio-signs to a nursing station, a doctor's PDA or other electronic device.
We will create two devices: the primary device that is responsible for authentication and communication and the secondary device that controls the light, garage door, etc., and receives data collected by the primary device.
- Fingerprint authentication using FPGA in primary device.
- Communication with secondary device using radio signal/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi
- Activates light, door, etc.
- Send data (Pulse, oxygen level, blood pressure, etc)
- Verify that user of authenticator is living using a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels in blood and pulse rate.
- Secondary device is able to cut and supply power to device being controlled.
- Secondary device send basic signal to controlled device.
- Create a user interface for operating the primary device.
- Add/Remove fingerprint
- List of devices functionalities
- Add/Remove controlled devices
- Create interfaces for other devices, garage door, elevator, computer access, etc.
- Connect other data gathering devices to primary device so that one can monitor environment remotely (for example, a hospital patient).
Feasibility: due to the high complexity of the project as well as the limitation of members in the group, we think the primary device can be completed with a LCD user interface. For the secondary device, if we don't have enough time, activates light module will be chosen for the purpose of the course.
