MUTUAL RECOGNITION DEVICES VIA INFRARED TRANSCEIVER AND CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Through this paper, the possible mechanism of a device that recognizes other devices in a meeting setting is discussed. The purpose of such a device is to simplify the physical human interactions during certain meetings and to help people network with one another. This functionality is achieved through the use of an infrared laser properly power rated for everyday use, internet connectivity of the sensor via microcontroller boards like Arduino Nano 33 IoT or ESP32, and the cloud integration general mechanism. The paper will mainly focus on the hardware of the whole system and the integration capability to the cloud, rather than the cloud structure itself. Reviews of the Infrared and other optical communication methods, and the specific functionality we are trying to achieve show that it should be possible for this device to be functionally implemented in meeting settings of medium to low densities. So in a conclusion, the implementation of a device with the above-mentioned functionality and mechanism is possible, but the accuracy would have to suffer due to user dependency.
