The working prototype
The working prototype
What problem you are trying to solve?
Save deposit box is common in people’s house
Key could be recognised and stolen easily.
The safety of the password would be strongly decreased if the owner wrote the password down on paper.
Thieves would come for either a key or password.
Who would use it?
Anyone who needs to keep something safe in their house and is using a traditional safe box.
What is your prototype?
Save deposit box (that uses pictures, i.e., colour pattern, as the “key”)
How does your prototype work?
A colour strip to open a basic lock. The Colour pattern is detected by a sensor. The lock is opened and locked by a motor.
How did you implement your prototype?
Use Arduino and C++ to implement a safe box locking system with a colour sensor.
Benefits
No one ever thinks about this kind of “key”, including thieves
It is probably okay if you just hang the picture (colour pattern) on the wall. Nobody would know.
Future potential
A more friendly GUI user interface may replace the current command line interface.
What we learned
The Internet of Things technology.
The embedded software development.
Video creation and editing.
