GSM/GPS based Device Switching with Fingerprint Module Integration using Arduino

Abstract

With the advancement in wireless technology, many tools have been developed to control a device from a remote location. These tools eliminate the need of physical availability of a person for controlling the device manually. Generally GSM and GPS technology is used in these tools to locate and control a device. But the tools which use only these technologies for their operation are highly insecure and inefficient. This paper proposes an alternate approach for wireless control of a device by incorporating a fingerprint identification module along with GPS and GSM modules. The fingerprint module increases the authenticity of the device and enables multiple users to control the device. These modules are integrated to a simple Arduino microcontroller to demonstrate various functionalities. The proposed approach finds its application in the various fields like automobiles, agriculture, etc.

The Role of Biometric in Banking: A Review

“…The researchers' findings indicate that the car ignition system using a fingerprint sensor leads to savings in traditional keys for starting the vehicle and can also be used when the user forgets to bring the car key, as the car can be turned on by authenticating the user's fingerprint using the sensor. Madhu R and others [18] have designed a method for remote communication with a device using fingerprint identification along with GSM and GPS capabilities. The software implementation process is as follows: initially, the user needs to place their finger on the fingerprint module.…”
