An app to detect the RFID tags of guests attending an event and mark them present in the database. Its a project aimed to give a unique identy to all the geeks of fnplus though their own RFID.
RFID (Radio-frequency identification) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.
In conventional RFID readers a dedicated hardware device is used to detect RFID tags. But it can also be done using the inbuilt NFC (Near Field Communication) feature in few smartphones.
In this case Passive RFID tags (which doesn't contain power supply of their own) will be used. Each tag contains a unique identification number stored in its memory. While coming in contact to the NFC signal it will send its unique number to the smartphone used.
Here's an image of the RFID tags we are using.
The aim of this project is to create an app with the following capabilities:
- Detect and retrieve the ID number from a RFID tag.
- Match the ID with the database of Geek Information.
- Display his/her name and mark her present in that event.
