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
Constraints Time Power Budget Footprint Functionality Durability
Deliverables 1 fully functional prototype. 1 fully functional android application capable of interfacing with prototype. Final Presentation.
Plan of Action Brainstorm Design Requirements Order Components Build prototype Develop Android Application Present prototype
Timetable See schedule : watchstuff/wiki/Project_Schedule
Criteria for Success Follow the schedule Attend Meetings Address issues ASAP Maintain regular contact with Sponsor and Adviser
Summary The proposal is accepted by the Sponsor. Although there are things to be added. Like, a theory where final product minimized in size with the prototype; have additional functions to the application such as tracking device.
