Problem Statement: Locating the right key on a key ring is a tedious process of testing multiple keys, especially when there are 50+ keys to choose from without remembering which key is associated with which door. Solution: A key ring that reads a RFID tag that can be added to standard door locks and identifies the appropriate key by lighting the LED attached to the key. System description: There will be three parts: the key cover, a keyring with an attached controller pack, and an RFID to attach to the standard lock. Each key cover will have simple logic that allows it to be matched to the controller's signal. The controller will send the signal out as well as power the LED embedded in the key cover. On the key ring is both the controller and the power bus. In the controller is an RFID reader that will read the tag on the nearest lock, and depending on the lock, a signal is sent through the key rail. The key rail is composed of three layers. The first and third layers will be the outer layers like a normal key ring while the inner layer acts as a conductor to power the LED attachments on the keys. The second layer will be recessed in order to prevent contact with anything other than the key cover. Only the correct key's LED will light up and rest will remain off. Finally, the lock will just have an RFID tag attachment. Group Members Petar Barac - barac2 Amanda Beck - ajbeck3 Leslie Cheng - lcheng12 |
