Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryNow a days one of the most significant challenges that face many families is baby care. Due to great changes in civilization and modern world requirements parents cannot continuously observe or monitor their babies all the time. So the safety and comfort of babies becomes a real worry for the parents.
The smart infant monitor system allows parents to work without any worries about their children and assist them to keep an eye on them remotely. Even so there are various products that support baby monitoring, many of them are not efficient enough. Therefore, the aim of this project is to build a low-cost system that provides high-quality features.
A multi-features system such as : live audio and video, recording audio and playing to baby, measuring the room temperature and humidity ,and the most important characteristic is noise and cry detection.
Project ObjectivesThe objective of the project is to design a system that will simplify the process of monitoring the baby by using Raspberry Pi device and sensor modules.
The proposed system will have many features such as: displaying live video and audio, recording audio and playing it to the baby, measuring the room temperature and humidity, supporting Urdu language, determine if the baby is awake or sleep, and the most important characteristic is the ability to listen to the baby noise, which is the cry detection feature.
Project Implementation MethodInternet of Things (IoTs) simply mentions to a collection of objects and devices that are connected using Internet. It provides different devices the ability to transmit and receive data on the internet simply. One of the most substantial roles for IoT is realtime monitoring so, the objective of this work is to create a smart infant monitoring system based on one of the powerful IoT devices, which is Raspberry Pi microcontroller. In particular, it will focus monitoring the baby using camera, microphone, speaker, and sensor for measuring the surrounding temperature and humidity.
Benefits of the ProjectThe benefits of the Project are as following:
- Displaying live video and audio.
- Recording audio and playing it to the baby.
- Measuring the room temperature and humidity.
- Determine if the baby is awake or sleep.
- The most important advantage of the proposed project is the ability to listen to the baby noise, which is the cry detection feature.
- Supporting Urdu Language.
- . Speech Recognition based on a few words that a baby can speak.
- Micro-controller/sensors integration
- To be able to combine multiple sensors into a control system, monitoring and reporting based project
- To additionally send and receive commands from the system over the internet/ local network making use of IOT features
- IOS/ Android Application
- To extend functionality by making interactive GUI Interfaces on a multiplatform environment
- Programming
