Introduction
Following the initial research, I undertook researching into the internet of things
sector, and analysing the different sectors this technology is deployed into, I have
further been requested to analyse this sector into more detail and come up with an
IoT solution that can be deployed within the company.
I have decided to take this position on board, and hope to provide a scalable,
suitable IoT device that can tackle the current issues within the security sector that
the company are facing.
Moreover, through providing this solution, it will hopefully aid the company in the
future deployments of their products for their consumers.
Problem
Using this initial research of the home sector and transportation sector, I have
decided to opt for a home sector oriented IoT device. Although I did find the
transportation sector to have more variety and excitement in the area of IoT, I
, believe that the home sector could do with some adjustments and innovation in the
development of their IoT devices.
So, in turn of this, I will be designing and looking to implement an IoT device that
can actively monitor a situation, whilst being biometrically robust in protecting any
outside interference such as potential thieves or those looking to vandalise
property. This will solve the problem that many encounter when trying to protect
their valuables in this high crime rate world we currently live in.
This device is likely to come in the form of a biometric lock, that can be remotely
operated and serves its main purposes through the application that will be
developed, allowing individuals to actively monitor a situation taking place. This
device is also likely to pinpoint GPS locations, so an individual can have these
devices in multiple locations, even in some moving vehicles or devices, and still
actively monitor the location of their device.
Design
To provide a decent baseline in which we can build our IoT device off, I will be
designing an IoT device that can be deployed into the intended sector. Through
implementing a design phase in which we must follow, it will allow us to visualise
the final product that will be released to the public, whilst also gaining feedback off
these designs to inform improvements we can make in the development of this IoT
device’s design.

, I personally believe to have produced a design that successfully meets the clients’
requirements listed in the brief originally handed to me. This device solves the
serious issue that current companies have with security, and the simple
misplacement of a traditional key, can lead to an entire company’s security to be
jeopardized.
Moreover, we have not only provided a solution to the current issue that many
major companies are facing, but also provided a simple, intuitive application that
these companies can use to simple control these IoT devices, even from a remote
location.
Finally, to entangle this whole IoT solution together, the smart lock will be written
in C++. This is down to the fact that this programming language is readable by the
Raspberry PI board and that this language can communicate components of the IoT
device to the main board in an efficient manner. In addition to this, this language is
extremely powerful and can also communicate the data processed by the Raspberry
PI through the internet connection provided by the host and send the necessary
data off to the database situated in the company where needed machine learning
can take place.
Architecture
In essence, the architecture is the other factors of an IoT device that make it into
the device it is to function in the way that it can. Examples of these types of
architectural differences are sensors, cloud services, layers and many more.
