The Implementation of the Internet of Things in the automated attendee registration

Abstract

What the internet of things (IoT) makes reference to is the application field in the computer sciences that studies the theoretical and practical knowledge for the design and implementation of devices equipped with sensors and connectivity, thus allowing for an easy control or status monitoring of these objects through the internet.
It is within this field of study that this work is focused; its main objective was to propose new scientific knowledge about the use of IoT technologies and techniques in solving a specific problem situation: the automated attendee registration to a campus or classroom.
This research proposed the design, development and validation of a low cost IoT system for automated attendee registration via internet, based on information collected by wireless electronic sensors arranged at the entrance of the site.
The main findings of this research were divided in different blocks: an electronic circuit, and the firmware for IoT platform plus the display for the user.
The scientific knowledge and IoT techniques applied [in this research] aid in designing low-cost solutions.
Said applications can go far beyond from what was found during this investigation and are a very important foundation in the development of intelligent environments.
