The Internet of Things (IoT) utilizes trillions of uniquely identifiable smart objects to connect anything at anytime and anywhere. Radio frequency identification (RFID) techniques are a powerful promising enabler for realizing the IoT. Around how to build hierarchical networked RFID systems for the IoT, this dissertation formulates and addresses problems in three key areas, i.e., communication...

Ambient intelligence is an interdisciplinary field that brings together ubiquitous computing, intelligent environments and context-awareness technologies. This paper describes a context-aware prototype for home environments, and the underlying concepts that we have developed. We propose a standardised representation of the environment context, in such a way that the integration of new developme...

This paper describes a smart home system consisting of Smart Door Porch and a home portal. Smart Door Porch uses cameras, an RFID (radio-frequency identification) reader, and a touch panel for home security as well as the at-home awareness of each family member. The home portal uses Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) framework and Java EE as the middleware to provide services including hom...

According to the National Center for Health Statistics approximately 1.3 million people in the United States are legally visually impaired. Two of the primary challenges that visually impaired people face every day are mobility and orientation. Less than 10% of visually impaired people use canes and approximately 5% use guide dogs. The project scope is to develop a working prototype using ultra...

Ration card plays a vital role for the household details such as to get gas connection, family member details, it acts address proof etc. In this paper, we have proposed smart ration system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technique and IoT prevent malpractices corruption in current distribution system. conventional will be replaced by unique RFID tag. This tag verified at fair price...
