  1. Smart KitchenMid-Semester Demo March 2nd, 2006 Suppakrit Forbes Chatchayanusorn Charles Christopher Onyeama Nachiket Shelgikar Saravana Sivasankaran http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece549/spring07/team6/index.html

  2. Project Concept • System • Smart phone/ PDA with Docking Station • RFID reader reads tags off the products and updates the ‘status’ of the kitchen. • Smart phone/ PDA generates a shopping list based on ideal stock and current kitchen status • Assumptions • All the products will be RFID tagged replacing currently used UPC Barcodes

  3. Architecture Block Diagram • RFID sensors detect the tags using RF and sending data to CPU via Ethernet interface • CPU shall handle the database immediately • CPU shall wait until the device requests data and starts synchronize via Bluetooth interface

  4. Status Update • We finally found a RFID reader and an antenna to work with (phew!) • Able to communicate with the reader through a laptop. We can get the information we want. • Developed a simple Phone GUI. Not synchronized to take files received through Bluetooth. But the file can be read as a document in the phone.

  5. ThingMagic’s Mercury 4 RFID Reader * Sensormatic Antenna * Parts Nokia E62 Gumstix with BT connectivity (on its way) *Thanks to Burcu Akinci for letting us borrow the kit

  6. Mid-Semester Demo Send data to reader Antenna reads products Transmit tag id and other data via Ethernet Transmit list via Bluetooth

  7. Next Steps • Get the gumstix soon (fingers crossed) • Work on implementing Bluetooth connectivity via C. • Get writeable (smaller) RFID tags • Look into possibly getting another RFID reader to keep track of things that are disposed in the kitchen.

  8. Software Architecture

  9. Lessons Learned • Be weary of projects that require expensive equipment. (Unless..) • Don’t believe everything on the box. (Range issues) • Tech support are some of the biggest helps you can get. • Some things just don’t work together (quite literally)

  10. Tentative Schedule

  11. Questions?
