Motivation/Background Provide security for personal property. Create an innovative new product to meet the needs of an untapped market segment.
Problem Statement Theft is a common occurrence, particularly among college students. People have valuable possessions that they want to be able to protect with minimal effort.
Solution Create a security device that people can attach to their personal possessions, a bike, backpack, or piece of luggage. This device will sense any movement of the object to which it is attached and sound an alarm. This device will operate with a smart phone app that will allow users to communicate with the device, including arming/disarming functionality.
Design Requirements Base requirements: Technology: Accelerometer Speaker - ~80dB and less than or equal to 0.03 watts Bluetooth – Possibly use a Class 2 (2.5mW and ~10m range) At least 1 LED
Design Requirements (cont..) Interface: Remote activation with phone only Batteries – Two options: AAA Batteries ( 1.5 V) for prototype ( not sure about exact voltage value until we have the voltage levels all the components ) 9V Battery. AVR Processor – 32 bit AVR microcontroller Case – Plastic case
