A smart locker

Abstract

Nowadays, the Internet of Things is becoming a reality more and more. Beside smart thermostats, light switches and power outlets controllable by smart phone apps creating smart homes, technology has solutions for daily encountered problems as well. We have identified two specific problems related to locking system and we proposed solution for the same. The one is vehicle and the second is mail box. Having a lock on a bike or mail box is not a guarantee that the vehicle or the documents won’t get stolen. The proposed work provides a convenient way of locking, providing reliable security system for the vehicle/mail box. The proposed system uses the IoT technology and smart phone to lock or unlock the device remotely through authentication. In particular, this work proposes security enhancement against any physical damage or theft. The proposed locker allows the user to lock and unlock easily and securely. Using user’s phone, the lock system can be locked/unlocked by entering a pass code in the Android application. One can also use the system using the registered touch patterns that can be entered through a touch sensor present in the lock. It provides intelligent lock/unlock with the location of your phone to the locker with the Bluetooth strength. It also provides theft alert to the user.
