BioLock – Biometric Home Entry System
Team Members: Sydney Bitner, Mavis Chan, Brent Erickson
The goal of this project was to create a fingerprint enabled lock designed for home entry control. This system is implemented with the Altera DE2 Cyclone II FPGA board along with external peripherals. When the fingerprint sensor detects a finger with an enrolled fingerprint, it relays the fingerprint ID to the DE2 to determine if the user has scheduled access. If a user is successfully authenticated, a solenoid is signaled to unlock, otherwise an alarm is sounded. Every entry attempt is logged storing the access date, time and result. In addition, the Android application utilizes the web server to view access history or a current snapshot of guests at the lock; it also has the capability to manage authorized users and their permitted access timeframes.
