Ticket Vending Machine for the Visually Impaired Persons / Ticket Vending Machine for the Visually Impaired Persons

REHMAT, BADDAR, ISHFAQ, MUHAMMAD January 2011 (has links)
In the field of technology, every day new inventions are introduced in the society for promotion human beings life. By virtue of which all the citizens of society are facilitated according to their needs of life style. Most of the people from developed countries are benefited in all ways of life due to their nonstop efforts and struggle in the field of technology. However some are completely denied due to lack of awareness and lacking of technical education in the subject field. The handicapped people are not very well explored in each part of world, especially third world countries by the researchers. So we can claim it, for their weaknesses and so called interest to understand more about the handicapped people worldwide. To understanding about such people will provide us with opportunities to excel in the subfield. There is a big gap between the handicapped and society which causes to cut them off from society. This gap needs to be filled in, while carrying out researches in the desired fields. Our research area is related to ticket reservation machine for the visually impaired people, to make the process easy for them to buy ticket at their own from the ticketing machine. After studying different articles on the subject, it is proved that many inventions have already been done by researchers and others are in progress for helping out the handicapped people. We have presented screen prototypes of the interface of the ticketing machine for the visually impaired people. We collected many hardware devices as one kit which can be use in the machine for the visually impaired users. It will enhance their power of visual sense to perform tasks at their own. There are some principles to follow in building up any system for visually impaired or blind people. If followed these principles in true sense it will facilitate to make new interface designs for interaction with visually impaired or blind users in friendly way. In this way we can overcome the shortcomings between normal and visually impaired people, which will be a great achievement to serve the deprived people.

Security of NFC applications

Pham, Thi Van Anh January 2013 (has links)
Near Field Communication (NFC) refers to a communication technology that enables an effortless connection and data transfers between two devices by putting them in a close proximity. Besides contactless payment and ticketing applications, which were the original key drivers of this technology, a large number of novel use cases can benefit from this rapidly developing technology, as has been illustrated in various NFC-enabled application proposals and pilot trials. Typical NFC-enabled systems combine NFC tags, NFC-enabled mobile phones, and online servers. This thesis explores the trust relationships, security requirements, and security protocol design in these complex systems. We study how to apply the security features of different types of NFC tags to secure NFC applications. We first examine potential weaknesses and problems in some novel use cases where NFC can be employed. Thereafter, we analyze the requirements and propose our system design to secure each use case. In addition, we developed proof-of-concept implementations for two of our proposed protocols: an NFCenabled security-guard monitoring system and an NFC-enabled restaurant menu. For the former use case, we also formally verified our proposed security protocol.  Our analysis shows that among the discussed tags, the NFC tags based on secure memory cards have the least capability and flexibility. Their built-in three-pass mutual authentication can be used to prove the freshness of the event when the tag is tapped. The programmable contactless smart cards are more flexible because they can be programmed to implement new security protocols. In addition, they are able to keep track of a sequence number and can be used in systems that do not require application-specific software on the mobile phone. The sequence number enforces the order of events, thus providing a certain level of replay prevention. The most powerful type of tag is the emulated card since it provides a clock, greater computational capacity, and possibly its own Internet connection, naturally at higher cost of deployment. / Near Field Communication (NFC) hänvisar till en kommunikationsteknik som möjliggör en enkel anslutning och dataöverföring mellan två enheter genom att sätta dem i en närhet. Förutom kontaktlös betalning och biljetthantering ansökningar, vilket var den ursprungliga viktiga drivkrafter för denna teknik, kan ett stort antal nya användningsfall dra nytta av denna snabbt växande teknik, som har visats i olika NFC-aktiverade program förslag och pilotförsök. Typiska NFC-applikationer kombinerar NFC-taggar, NFC-kompatibla mobiltelefoner och online-servrar. Denna avhandling utforskar förtroenderelationer, säkerhetskrav och säkerhetsprotokoll utformning i dessa komplexa system. Vi studerar hur man kan tillämpa de säkerhetsfunktioner för olika typer av NFC-taggar för att säkra NFC-applikationer. Vi undersöker först potentiella svagheter och problem i vissa nya användningsfall där NFC kan användas.  Därefter analyserar vi de krav och föreslå vårt system design för att säkra varje användningsfall. Dessutom utvecklade vi proof-of-concept implementationer för två av våra föreslagna protokoll: en NFC-aktiverad säkerhet-guard övervakningssystem och en NFC-aktiverad restaurang meny. Dessutom, för fd bruk fallet, kontrollerade vi formellt vår föreslagna säkerhetsprotokoll. Vår analys visar att bland de diskuterade taggar, NFC taggar som baseras på säkra minneskort har minst kapacitet och dlexibilitet. Deras inbyggda trepass ömsesidig autentisering kan användas för att bevisa färskhet av händelsen när taggen tappas. De programmerbara beröringsfria smarta kort är mer flexibla eftersom de kan programmeras för att genomföra nya säkerhetsprotokoll.  Dessutom kan de hålla reda på ett löpnummer och kan användas i system som inte kräver ansökan-specik mjukvara på mobiltelefonen. Sekvensnumret framtvingar ordning av händelser, vilket ger en viss nivå av replay förebyggande. Den mest kraftfulla typen av taggen är den emulerade kortet eftersom det ger en klocka, större beräkningskapacitet, och möjligen sin egen Internet-anslutning, naturligtvis till högre kostnad för utplacering.

Una aproximación cualitativa a los motivos de consumo de productos ultraprocesados de máquinas expendedoras en estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima, Perú / A approach qualitative to the reasons for consumption of ultra-processed products from vending machines in students from a private university in Lima, Peru

Del Aguila Flores, Luz Jasmine, Nuñez Paucar, Tania Shandini 31 August 2020 (has links)
Introducción: En los últimos años, los patrones alimenticios de la población han cambiado tanto en países desarrollados como en los de vías de desarrollo. Esto debido a la urbanización y globalización de los mercados, y por consiguiente, ha causado el reemplazo de los alimentos tradicionales o mínimamente procesados por alimentos ultraprocesados en la dieta diaria. Incluso, se ha evidenciado que uno de los medios más convenientes para la adquisición de estos productos son las máquinas expendedoras. Objetivo: Explorar los motivos de consumo de productos ultraprocesados en máquinas expendedoras en estudiantes de una universidad privada en Lima.  Método: Es un estudio cualitativo de diseño fenomenológico. Se realizaron 40 listados libres, 18 entrevistas a profundidad y 2 grupos focales a universitarios mayores de 18 años utilizando guías de preguntas. La muestra fue de 66 personas seleccionadas por conveniencia hasta llegar al punto de saturación.  Resultados: El producto más consumido de las máquinas expendedoras fueron las papas fritas picantes. Los motivos de consumo de productos ultraprocesados en máquinas expendedoras fueron el sabor, horario académico, la cercanía, la accesibilidad, el precio, la facilidad y rapidez. También, se evidenció que el estado de ánimo, como estrés, ansiedad, tristeza y depresión influye en el proceso de compra de estos productos.  Conclusión: A pesar de que los estudiantes saben y conocen que los productos ultraprocesados son perjudiciales para la salud los siguen consumiendo principalmente por el sabor, horario académico, el precio, la accesibilidad y la rapidez hacia ellos. / Introduction: Currently, the eating patterns of the population have changed both in changed countries and on development paths. This is due to the urbanization and globalization of markets, and as far as it is concerned, it has the replacement of traditional or minimally processed foods with ultra-processed foods in the daily diet. In addition, it has been shown that one of the most convenient means of acquiring these products is vending machines. Objective: Exploring the reasons for consuming ultra-processed products in vending machines in students from a private university in Lima. Methods: A qualitative study of phenomenological design. We were used 40 free guides, 18 in-depth interviews and 2 focus groups for university students over 18 using question guides. The sample was 66 people selected for convenience until reaching the saturation point. Results: The most consumed product of vending machines was spicy potato chips. The reasons for consuming ultra-processed products in vending machines were the taste, academic hours, proximity, accessibility, price, ease and speed. Also, it is evident that mood, such as stress, anxiety, sadness and depression influence the purchasing process of these products. Conclusion: Although the students know and have to receive the ultra-processed products, they are harmful to health, those who continue consuming mainly due to the taste, the academic schedule, the price, the accessibility and the speed towards them. / Tesis

U-Med : A Mobile Application and a Reverse Vending Machine for Individuals to Reduce Unused Medication Waste

Bacaksizlar, Ecenur January 2022 (has links)
Medication waste, both packaging and actual drug waste, has been having a tremendous impact on the environment and healthcare budget. However, this is even more concerning after Covid-19 affects the drug purchasing behaviours and causes potentially more unused medications while many people are not able to access healthcare. Some of the main challenges of lack of contribution to the life after the purchase of unused medicine are the patient’s lack of knowledge of how to dispose of them, the medication distribution, the legislation and not having an encouraging sustainable system to reduce medication waste on a bigger scale. This project focused on understanding medicine usage behaviours in Turkish society and developing a circular model called U-Med (Unused Medications). The model has a mobile application and reverse vending machines which are linked with e-Nabız (e-Heartbeat, an application that Turkish citizens and health professionals access to health data collected from health institutions) to reduce medication waste by providing individuals to dispose of or share their unused medicines with the healthcare system or the other industries that can reuse. The concept also aims to show a sustainable approach which can influence decision-making in legislation on medication distribution. This project includes face-to-face, semi-structured interviews in a neighbourhood in Sarıyer, Istanbul Turkey with 5 patients, 3 doctors, 3 nurses and 5 pharmacists along with the health director in the municipality of Sarıyer. Additionally, remote interviews were organised with a non-profit organisation in Greece called GIVMED which has similar concerns. Apart from these, a Turkish survey among 88 Turkish citizens about medication usage behaviour was conducted.
