Abstract:

The main objective of this system is to develop the efficient monitoring and updatation of class room automatically. It can also be called as an Energy Saving System because it is designed and programmed in such a way that it will automatically switches OFF all running electric appliances when the class gets empty. Thus it can also be used in places where lighting is very important. For instance, the libraries are well illuminated with many lamps. When people are not present at a reading place the lighting can be made OFF and when they are present, the lighting made ON. All these can be done using this project. The sensing part in the project is IR sensors. Two IR sensors are employed in this project. If a person enters into the monitored area, the IR sensor gets activated and senses the person, and then gives signal to the microcontroller. The Infrared energy emitted from the living body is focused by a Fresnel lens segment. Then only the IR sensor activates and its count increments or decrements as the case may be. It depends on whether the person is entering or exiting. By using this system we can easily check the current status of the class. A 16x2 LCD display is used to display the counting operation of IR sensors. Then finally the desired information can be sent to the HOD room. The control centre and class room module communicates through the GSM module which connects the system module to HOD Smartphone and gives the information; thereby the information monitored is stored in the centre PC. The purpose of monitoring is to find the number of students present in the class in each hour. This system minimizes energy consumption and human intervention.
