A Review on IOT Based Smart GPS Device for Child and Women Safety Applications
This paper is based on IOT (Internet of Things) As we know in present era everything is based on digital technology. Nowadays every person is connected with each other by many ways,where most popular communication is internet so it is internet which connects people. This paper proposes an Android based solution to aid parents to track their children in rea ltime. Different devices are connected with a single device through channels of internet. The concerned device is connected to server via internet.The device can be used by parents to track their children in real time or for women safety. The proposed solution takes the advantage of the location services provided by GSM. It allows the parents to get their child's location on real time by SMS. Here,a prototype model (device) is created which is simulation based. The work comprises ARM 7 LPC2148 as microcontroller, along with GPS and GSM module. Embedded C core compile using Keil and virtual simulation check using Proteus 8.1 is done.A server is created which will collect all the data generated by our prototype system and send the same to server using GPRS. A Dummy server will be created by using Filezilla. This device will also have the facility of Emergency help key (SOS) if anyone presses the key automatic help message will be sent to 3 registered mobile numbers on Server. Keywords Embedded System,Smart System,Internet, 1.INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the use of intelligently connected devices and systems to exploit data gathered by embedded sensors and actuators in machines and other physical objects [11] IoT refers to the ability of network devices to sense and collect data from the world around us, and then share the data across the Internet where it can be processed and utilized for various purpose. The IoT is comprised of smart machines interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environment and infrastructures. Almost every device today has an embedded processor typically a microcontroller or MCU, along with user interfaces, that can add programmability and deterministic command and control| functionality. The electrification of the world and the pervasiveness of embedded processing are the keys to making objects smart. Your old toaster that mechanically controlled the color of your toast now has an MCU in it, and the MCU controls the color of your toast. The toaster completes its task more consistently and reliably, and because it is now a smart toaster, it has the ability to communicate with you electronically using its touchpad or switches. After a device becomes smart through the integration of embedded processing, the next logical step is remote communication with the smart device to help make life easier. For example, if I am running late for the office, can I turn on my house lights for security reasons using my laptop or mobile phone? Communication capability and remote manual control lead to the next step how do I automate things based on my settings having sophisticated cloud based processing, make things happen without my intervention? The ultimate goal of some IoT applications is to connect with the Internet to achieve the goal,for which they must first become smart| (incorporate an International Journal of Engineering Research and General Science Volume 4, Issue 3, May June, 2016 ISSN 2091 2730 160 www.ijergs.org MCU/embedded processor with an associated unique ID) then connected and, finally, controlled. Those capabilities can then enable a new class of services that makes life easier for users. The term Internet of Things was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 in the context of supply chain management. However, in the past decade, the definition has become more inclusive covering wide range of applications like healthcare, utilities, transport, etc. Although the definition of Things' has changed as technology evolved,however, the main goal of making a computer sense information without the aid of human intervention remains the same. The evolution of current Internet into a Network of interconnected objects not only harvests information from the environment (sensing)and interacts with the physical world (actuation/command/control) but also uses existing Internet standards to provide services for information transfer, analysis, applications, and communications. Fueled by the prevalence of devices enabled by open wireless technology such as Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID) Wi Fi, and telephonic data services as well as embedded sensor and actuator nodes, IoT has stepped out of its infancy and is on the verge of transforming the current static Internet into a fully integrated Future Internet. The Internet revolution led to the interconnection between people at an unprecedented scale and pace. The next revolution will be the interconnection between objects to create a smart environment. Only in 2011 did the number of interconnected devices on the planet overtook the actual number of people. Currently there are 9 billion interconnected devices and it is expected to reach 24 billion devices by 2020. In today's world, over 80% of the world population, including children around the age of eight or seven, owns smart phones. This is due to many reasons. One of them is the remarkable features and capabilities that new smart phones offer especially Android based smart phones. GPS offers outstanding capabilities in locating position and this can be used to develop resourceful application that helps in locating missing or lost children [1] The essential idea of the IoT has been around for nearly two decades, and has attracted many researchers and industries because of its great estimated impact in improving our daily lives and society [2] When things like household appliances are connected to a network, they can work together in cooperation to provide the ideal service as a whole, not as a collection of independently working devices. This is useful for many of the real world applications and services, and one would for example apply it to build a smart residence; windows can be closed automatically when the air conditioner is turned on, or can be opened for oxygen when the gas oven is turned on. The idea of IoT is especially valuable for persons with disabilities, as IoT technologies can support human activities at larger scale like building or society, as the devices can mutually cooperate to act as a total system [2] The Internet revolution led to the interconnection between people at an unprecedented scale and pace. The next revolution will be the interconnection between objects to create a smart environment [10] The wide variety of potential IoT applications needs a software development environment that ties together the applications, the command, control and routing processing and the security of the node and system. While the importance of software in MCU solutions has increased during the past few years, for MCUs supporting the IoT, even more software, tools and enablement will be needed. A broad ecosystem with easily accessible support is key to enabling the development of embedded processing nodes and IoT applications [9] These days, however, with technology growing at a fast pace, automated vehicle tracking system is being used in a variety of ways to track and display vehicle locations in real time. In this project we are using the concept of tracking the child instead of vehicle. One device is connected with server via internet. Using that device parents will track their children in real time or women safety. The proposed solution takes the advantage of the location services provided by GSM since kids carry that device. It allows the parent to get their child's location on a real time by SMS.

Literature Review Ten critical| trends and technologies impacting IT for the next five years were laid out by Gartner [5] The Internet is expanding into enterprise assets and consumer items such as cars and televisions. The problem is that most enterprises and technology vendors are yet to explore the possibilities of an expanded Internet and are not operationally or organizationally ready. Gartner identifies four basic usage models that are emerging:
