| Before computers or even electricity, trade occurred when two people coincide time and place to exchange goods. Despite new innovation such as Paypal, Ebay, e-check, e-ticket, if one wants to give (or transfer) an object to another person they would have to either use a third party such as US Postal Service or meet up. This thesis tries to address the latter option. Instead of coordinating time and place, perhaps a system can be developed make more convenient of exchanging physical objects. Hence the creation of the E-Lock or Asynchronous Physical Transfer System. | ||
| Methodology: | This system consists of a login/registration website, confirmation page (both in php) as well as a java program to interface with a physical vault. This physical vault is just a wooden box with a locking door which is electronically controlled. I am using a Bx-24 for the firmware logic that is complimented with a matrix-encoded keypad, an LCD screen and a magnetic swipe card reader for user interface. The transfer and login information is stored in a MySql database. | |
