Smart Kitchen

• Suppakrit Forbes Chatchayanusorn
• Charles Christopher Onyeama
• Nachiket Shelgikar
• Saravana Sivasankaran

How it works!

• System
• Smart phone/ PDA with Docking Station
• RFID reader reads tags off the products in the
  kitchen 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
Test Cases

• Transmission of tags to Gumstix
• Connect Gumstix to a terminal on PC during
  testing
• Print data as it is processed in real time
• Transmission of database to phone
• Dump tag database out to screen on gumstix and
  compare it to file received on the phone

4
Demo Scenario

• User walks in with a couple of bags full of
  groceries
• The RFID reader reads all the tags on the
  different products
• The gumstix processor updates the current
  status of the kitchen oblivious to the user

5
Evaluation Criteria

• Read tags on all the products in the time that a
  person enters the house
• Cope up with the readers capability of reading
  multiple tags per second (25ms per tag)
• Reading different tags close to each other
• Not reading any tag multiple times

6
Looking Ahead

• Issues with RFID tags
• Not working efficiently with metals and/ or some
  liquids
• Most difficult test case
• Direction of motion given the constraint of one
  RFID reader
