Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background study
Traditional lock systems using mechanical lock and key mechanism are
being replaced by new advanced techniques of locking system. These
techniques are an integration of mechanical and electronic devices and
highly intelligent. One of the prominent features of these innovative
lock systems is their simplicity and high efficiency.
Such an automatic lock system consists of electronic control assembly
which controls the output load through a password. This output load can
be a motor or a lamp or any other mechanical/electrical load.
An electronic lock (or electric lock) is a
locking device which
operates by means of electric current. Electric locks are sometimes
stand-alone with an electronic control assembly mounted directly to the
lock. Electric locks may be connected to an
access control system,
the advantages of which include: key control, where keys can be added
and removed without re-keying the lock cylinder; fine access control,
where time and place are factors; and transaction logging, where
activity is recorded. Electronic locks can also be remotely monitored
and controlled, both to lock and unlock.
Many times we forgot to carry the key of our home. Or sometimes we
come out of our home and door latch closes by mistake. In these cases it
is really difficult to get inside the house. This project is designed
to solve this purpose. Main concept behind this project is of a
door-latch opening using a password entered through keypad. As well as
turning on the Buzzer when password is entered wrong for multiple times.
User can change this password anytime he/she wish using a keypad.
Here we develop an electronic code lock system using 8051
microcontroller, which provides control to the actuating the load. It is
a simple embedded system with input from the keyboard and the output
being actuated accordingly.
This system demonstrates a password based door lock system wherein
once the correct code or password is entered, the door is opened and the
concerned person is allowed access to the secured area. Again if
another person arrives it will ask to enter the password. If the
password is wrong then door would remain closed, denying the access to
the person.
The main component in the circuit is 8051 controller. In this project
4×3 keypad is used to enter the password. The password which is entered
is compared with the predefined password. If the entered password is
correct then the system opens the door by rotating door motor and
displays the status of door on LCD. If the password is wrong then door
is remain closed and displays “pwd is wrong†on LCD.
1.2 Statement of problem
Home security is one of the major needs of human race, coming to
security locks electronics system has introduce different ways of
protecting lives and properties by the use of password authentication,
this system has one of the major electronic advanced system and can be
used in different locking system.
1.3 Aim and objectives
The aim of this project is to design and construct a digital password
based locking system which is use in different places for door
authentication and other form of locking system.
Objectives includes:
a. To design and create a password door locking system
b. To implement and show how to design a password looking system
c. To show stages involve in the design and implementation of password based system.
1.4 Scope of the project
A student will be show on how a digital password system works, how it
can be implemented and different stages on how to design and construct a
password locking door.
1.5 Significance of the Project
It is important to increase the system of our various abode with a
dependable security system, password system are not just used for
security purpose but due to its mode of operation has being applied to
car ignition lock joints and engine voltage supplied when it saves as a
security system for car system. It importance does include:
a. As a fast way to increase security intrusion protection
b. It saves a better way to protect homes and properties by using
the user personal identification system for effective protection.
c. It also help in highly advance ones to trace treat finger
tips if when trying to intruder without authentication number accuracy
etc.
1.6 Project limitations
a. If not supplied the recommended voltage can keep the door lock until the voltage level is reached.
b. It has a low authentication Barry and can be breaker by hackers.
c. Only one password can be used which only known by the users
1.7 Definition of important terms
Keypad: human interface numerical button to typing passwords
Microcontroller: a programmable unit that controls the whole section
Password: a set of security number or code use only by one person for security authentication
