| # Item-Tracking Backpack # Team Members: Abdullah Alfaraj (alfaraj3) Raef Almuallem (raefma2) # Problem Many people use backpacks to store their belongings when going out. Since backpacks can hold many items, it can be easy to lose track of what has been put in it. The act of checking the bag to ensure nothing has been forgotten can often be inconvenient. This becomes especially time-consuming when many items have been placed in the backpack. Keeping track of where each item has been placed can also be a hassle for smaller items or when there is a large number of items in the bag. # Solution A system for monitoring the items present in the backpack using RFID can be implemented as a solution. Users can input the items they plan on placing in the bag using a phone application. RFID tags can be placed on these items, and once all of the items listed have been detected, a green LED will light up to indicate that nothing has been forgotten. Moreover, to assist with keeping track of the items within the bag, the user will be able to specify where a specific item will be placed. A red LED will light up to indicate that a compartment does not contain the exact items desired. # Solution Components ## Subsystem 1: Sensors This subsystem will deal with detecting the items present in the bag. RFID will be used to monitor each individual item present. ## Substyem 2: Microcontroller The microcontroller will interface with the RFID sensors to determine which items are present, and whether all items have been placed. It will turn on the green LED and turn off the red LEDs when all items are present. ## Subystem 3: Indication A 10 mm green LED will be used to indicate if all the items the user was planning on placing in the backpack are present. The LED will light up once the RFID has detected all the desired items to inform the user that nothing has been forgotten. A 10 mm red LED will be used for each compartment, and it will light up if the RFID could not detect a desired item in the compartment. ## Subsystem 4: Application The application will allow users to create a list of items to be placed in the backpack. Items can be added and removed from the list and any items missing will be displayed. The application will also allow for the organization of the items in the bag by allowing the user to add items to a given compartment. # Criterion for Success Green LED lights up when all the desired items have been placed, otherwise, it is off Red LEDs light up if items are missing from a given compartment Two compartments capable of storing large items properly track the items contained in it One compartment capable of storing small items properly tracks the items contained within it The application allows for the list of items to be placed in the backpack to be changed The application allows for the organization of the items to be placed in different compartments The application recommends missing items or items placed in an incorrect compartment |
