ABSTRACT

Home security system is needed for occupants' convenience and safety. Nowadays, there

is lot of burglary happening across the city, the reason is no one helping or getting late for help.

Sometimes, guard in housing area also not helping because of the big area housing environment.

Nowadays, Malaysian still uses old technology alarm for their home security. How people react

for the alarm? Can the guard in housing area hear it? For this paper, I have design and

implementing a security system for home using Bluetooth and SMS notification which is smart in

helping owner to get helps from neighbor, friend, police station or guard in housing area faster.

The user can choose the recipient number from contact's phonebook and set SMS by self. This

system was implemented in J2ME to operate in mobile.

ABSTRAK

Alat penggera dirumah diperlukan untuk keselesaan penghuni dan keselamatan. Sehingga

kini, ada banyak kecurian berlaku di seluruh bandar, alasannya adalah tidak ada yang membantu

atau terlambat mendapatkan bantuan. Kadang-kadang, penjaga di kawasan perumahan juga tidak

membantu kerana kawasan perumahan yang luas. Pengguna di Malaysia saat mi masih

menggunakan penggera lama untuk keselamatan rumah mereka. Bagaimana orang sekeliling

bertindak balas? Bolehkah penjaga di kawasan perumahan mendengarnya? Untuk kajian mi, saya

telah merancang dan meiaksanakan sistem keselamatan untuk rwnah dengan menggunakan

Bluetooth dan notis SMS yang bijak dalam membantu pemilik untuk mendapatkan bantuan dan

tetangga, teman, pihak polis atau penjaga di kawasan perumahan dengan lebih cepat. Pengguna

boleh memiiih nombor penerima daripada buku telefon dan menetapkan SMS sendiri. Sistem mi

dilaksanakan di J2ME untuk beroperasi secara mobile.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

Currently, there are many systems developed in order to meet user requirements. In this

modern lifestyle, the important thing to know is what to input in order to receive the desired

outputs of a system. In this global world, technologies growth wider and makes user wish for a

system that can assist them in their daily life. With this growing demand, it is recommended to

develop a system that can achieve user's target and expectation.

Nowadays, mobile phone is one of the most essential things of people. It takes much

convince for people. The technology of mobile phone is increase rapidly every day. Form l'

generation up to now. When phone had been found at the first time, Phone just use to

completing our voice communication need. When newer technology was found, we only know

that SMS (short message service), as text communication service. SMS service has been caught

pager user to use SMS and nowadays anything can be done using mobile.

The system that will be developed is Project Sarjana Muda (PSM) Integrated Home

Security System: Module on Mobile Application (IHSS). The target users of this project are the

household who wants to secure their house. HISS can help the owner of their house to get helps

1

2

from neighbor, security guard or people they know and knowing them without panicking. So in

this situation, it will exist the cooperating in their neighborhood and improve the level of the

home security.

12 Objective

The main objectives for the development of Security System on Mobile Application are:

I. To develop mobile application on security system.

ii. To implement new technology for Home security using mobile.

iii. To implement wireless networking using Bluetooth protocol for signal

transmission.

iv. To make easier for household to inform and get helps from neighbor, security guard

and friends earlier without panicking.

1.3 Scope

The scopes of this project are as follows:

L Target Users

. The main user of the system will be the owner of their house

ii. Modules • The system will automatically send SMS to the chosen numbers.

• The system is using Bluetooth connection to retrieve connection from

the device detector.

• The system is going to develop using the JAVA programming language

for the software application.

• The main software to develop this software is using Wireless toolkit.

3

• The system will provide a simple user interface for the users, and will

mostly be focused how to setup the uses of the application.

. The mobile phone will make alert sound from the phone after retrieve

the connection from the device detector.

1.4 Problem Statement

Security has been the main issues in any organization or enterprise. A large number of

security systems existed in the whole world that has the same goal which is to create an efficient

and formidable security system. Out of all these systems, only a number of systems truly

achieve the goal. And to be more specific on the scope, there is lack of security system applied

that truly organized and efficient in handling home security with SMS notification.

Mobility in security has always been slow in progression nowadays. It will be a great

achievement if the mobility aspect in security could be integrate or combined. To give an

example, often, when a home intrusion occurs, the owner of the house should be the first to be

informed and he should inform to their friends or neighbor to get helps. But with the old system

alert using wired that triggered the alarm sound, the owner maybe can be panicked and will be

late to inform to the others friend or neighbor to get helps. And usually, they will get to know

about the intrusion late. But nowadays, people hate to hear the noisy alarm sound and that

always does not helping in home security. This is due to the lack of mobility aspect provided in

security.

These problems are extracted during the project identification process:

i. There is lack of security system applied that truly organized and efficient in handling

home security with mobile application through SMS notification.

ii. Often, when breaking and entering home occurs, the safety unit, friends, or neighbor

will get to know about it a bit late or just ignore it because hate the noisy sound alarm.

4

This is due to the lack of mobility aspect. So, SMS notification will be used in order to

encounter the issues.

iii. The old home security systems that have been use today make a noisy alarm to rouse

other people. But people hate the sound and this is not helping.

2.2 Literature Review

Literature review is aims to review the critical points of current knowledge on a

particular topic. Therefore, the purpose of the literature review is to find, read and analyze the

literature or any works or studies related to this system. It is important to well understand about

all information to be considered and related before develop this system.

For this project, some researchers have been done to understand the concept and

purpose of alert using mobile (SMS notification), programming language, protocol language,

and existing system that related to this project.

2.2.1 Domain

Every project has its own domain. in the IHSS for home protection, the domain for

the project is Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Wireless Technology that

using the Bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth on Wireless connection normally used to refer to any type of electronic

operation that does not require a wired connection. Bluetooth is a standard and a

communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range

(power-class-dependent: lOOm, lOm and 1 m, but ranges vary in practice; (see Table 2.1) based

on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. Bluetooth makes it possible for these devices

to communicate with each other when they are in range. Because the devices use a radio

(broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in line of sight of each other.

Table 2.1 Bluetooth device classes

Type j Power Consumption Operating Range

Class 1 100mW (20 dBm) Up to 100 meters (300 feet)

Class 2 2.5mW (4 dBm) Up to 10 meters (30 feet)

Class 3 1 mW (0 dBm) 0.1-10 meters (less than 30 feet)

2.2.2 Keyword

2.2.2.1 Wireless Communication

Wireless is normally used to refer to any type of electrical or electronic operation which

is accomplished without the use of a hard wired connection. Wireless is a transmission or

Information transport method that enables Mobile computing over a distance. The distances

involved may be short or long range that refers to any wireless technology used.

The examples of Wireless technology include:

• Two way radios

• Cellular telephones

• Personal digital assistants (PDAs)

• Wireless networking

• GPS units

• Wireless computer mice and keyboards

• Satellite television and cordless telephones.

For the 11ISS, the wireless technology that will be use is Bluetooth and GSM network

that using Short Message Service (SMS).

2.2.2.1.1 Bluetooth

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile

8

phones, laptops, personal computers, printers, GPS receivers, digital cameras, and video game

consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth

specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

Bluetooth is a standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power

consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) based

on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.

Bluetooth enables these devices to communicate with each other when they are in

range. The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of sight

of each other, and can even be in other rooms, as long as the received transmission is powerful

enough.

Bluetooth exists in many products, such as phones, printers, modems and headsets. The

technology is useful when transferring information between two or more devices that are near

each other in low-bandwidth situations. Bluetooth is commonly used to transfer sound data with

phones (i.e. with a Bluetooth headset) or byte data with hand-held computers (transferring files).

Bluetooth simplifies the discovery and setup of services between devices. Bluetooth

devices advertise all of the services they provide. This makes using services easier because

there is no longer a need to setup network addresses or permissions as in many other networks.

2.2.2.1.1.1 Topology

Bluetooth device are grouped in piconets. Each piconet consists of master and different

slave. A master and a slave are connecting through the point-to-point communication. So if they

are more than one slave, a point-to-multipoint is established. The master is the unit which

initiates the communication. A device in one piconet can connect to a device belonging to

another piconet, forming a scatternet.

2.2.2.1.1.2 Protocol Stack

The Bluetooth specification aims to allow Bluetooth devices from different

manufactures to work with each other, so it is not sufficient to specify just a radio system.

Because of this, the Bluetooth specification does not only outline a radio system but a complete

protocol stack to ensure that Bluetooth devices can discover, -explore and use these services with

each other. The Bluetooth protocol stack is shown in Figure 2.2.

The Bluetooth stack is made up of many layers. The HCI is usually the layer separating

hardware from software and is implemented partially in software and hardware. The layers

below HCI are usually implemented in hardware and the layer above the HCI is usually

implemented in software. Tables 2.2 give a short description of each layer shown on figure 2.1.
