Smart Life Challenge: GeoCar update SMS relay to PSoC

Here is quick update on the GeoCar project. This is a small use case sample of a project functionality. I like watching videos of projects so I uploaded one myself.

 

Use Case:

If the car get stolen via a carjacking. The owner leave the phone inside the car and get to safety. Once on safety the car owner sends an SMS security code to his/her phone by using else's phone. When the phone receives this message connects to the PSoC via Bluetooth and sends a distress signal. The PSoC then turn off the car.

 

The action of turning off the car is being simulated by turning the on board RGB LED to red. For this a Control Reg tool is used. Bellow is a simple video showing this feature.

On the video demo the Android phone is configured to receive an SMS message containing a secret code ( T for the sample) and when this happens it connects to the PSoC via Bluetooth, then the PSoC turns the RGB  LED red for a few seconds.

    Yes, the idea is for the Android app to respond the sms with the location. I didn't wanted to get into that details since are not part of the PSoC. Once the link between the PSoC and external devices is made, all needed is imagination to add functionality. A good reliable hardware allow a software guy to build upon. And that is the feeling that I have with this PSoC4 platform. Cheap but still professional grade device.

    Good update.

     

    Your app would come in handy if someone steals your car.  You can call it up and have it tell you where it is.
