This project aims to develop a security device designed specifically to safeguard personal property, particularly targeting the needs of college students susceptible to theft. Our solution features a compact device that can be easily attached to belongings like bikes, backpacks, or luggage. It utilizes an accelerometer for movement detection and activates an alarm via a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone app for seamless control, including arming and disarming. We aim for a fully functional prototype and an accompanying Android app to enhance user experience and protection.

Motivation/Background • Provide security for personal property. • Create an innovative new product to meet the needs of an untapped market segment.
Problem Statement • Theft is a common occurrence, particularly among college students. • People have valuable possessions that they want to be able to protect with minimal effort.
Solution • Create a security device that people can attach to their personal possessions, a bike, backpack, or piece of luggage. • This device will sense any movement of the object to which it is attached and sound an alarm. This device will operate with a smart phone app that will allow users to communicate with the device, including arming/disarming functionality.
DesignRequirements • Base requirements: • Technology: • Accelerometer • Speaker - ~80dB and less than or equal to 0.03 watts • Bluetooth – Possibly use a Class 2 (2.5mW and ~10m range) • At least 1 LED
Design Requirements (cont..) • Interface: • Remote activation with phone only • Batteries – Two options: • AAA Batteries ( 1.5 V) for prototype ( not sure about exact voltage value until we have the voltage levels all the components ) • 9V Battery. • AVR Processor – 32 bit AVR microcontroller • Case – Plastic case
Constraints • Time • Power • Budget • Footprint • Functionality • Durability
Deliverables • 1 fully functional prototype. • 1 fully functional android application capable of interfacing with prototype. • Final Presentation.
Plan of Action • Brainstorm Design Requirements • Order Components • Build prototype • Develop Android Application • Present prototype
Timetable • See schedule : https://projects.cecs.pdx.edu/projects/wi2013ece412- watchstuff/wiki/Project_Schedule
Criteria for Success • Follow the schedule • Attend Meetings • Address issues ASAP • Maintain regular contact with Sponsor and Adviser
