NFC Application in tourism

1- We will start by introducing the tourist places in Qatar.

This video shows most of the places that are being promoted for tourism, among the others in Qatar.

2- Then we will talk about tourism in general.

3- Then we will introduce the whole program to the participant.

• The entire program is about tourism and how technology has impacted the realm positively.

4- Then we will ask the participant about technology.

• Technology is the part that involves in the human life where it makes their lives easier.

5- The following video will show the technology to interfere with tourism over the following years and how it will change the experience of the tourist.

6- Then let’s take the participant ideas about the impact of the technology.

7- Then lets explain one of the most used technologies these days when it’s used to pay worldwide using the phone like Apple Pay.

8- This technology works over very low range as the transmitter and the receiver has to be very close, almost 1 to 2 cm of distance between in order to send and receive the data.

9- some application used over this technology.

10- How do you think this technology is an added advantage for the tourism realm.

11- What we will be doing today –>

• We will read and write NFC tags using our smartphones.

12- What we will need today.

13- What is the NFC tag ion general.

• The tag is the chip that stores the information.

• An emulator is an application that can be transmitter or receiver on the mobile phone.

14 – Now we will be using the smartphone with an application of NFC installed to read and write tags.

1- We will start by asking the participant about what they know about electronics.

• Most of them will be sure that electronics are no more than the devices that they use and see.

2- Then we will ask them the difference between electric and electronic.

• The difference is that :
• In electric, we are studying the flow of the current in the conductive materials.
• In Electronics, we are studying the flow of current in the Semi conductive material.

3- The main particle here to study is the electron and its movement, as the electrical current is the flow of this electron from particle to another and so on.

4- Then we will explain the difference between the electron current and the conventional current.

5- Then we will show how this electron is being controlled.

6- The video below will explain the electrical current.

7- Then we will ask the participant if they know the flex circuits.

8- What would be the advantage of flex circuit.

9- Flexible circuits are normal circuits, but they are made up of flex material that can bend and stretch according to the needed application.

10- Some of the uses for the flex circuits.

• Flex circuits are widely used for sensors in order to fit on the human body skin, keeping the comfort of the user.

11- The below video will show a real application for flex sensor under research.

1- We will start showing the participant what we are going to do.

2- Then we will show the participant what is needed to build the prototype.

3- This is the connection we have to achieve with the Arduino to have the circuit working.

4- Before the connection of the circuit, we have to solder the NFC module.

5- Then we will start coding the Arduino microcontroller using the Arduino IDE.

6- Coding or programming is the process of telling the machine what to do through writing instructions line the machine can understand.

7- We will use the mfrc522 library in order top send and receive data from the module.

8- We will go through loops in order to let them understand the irritation process happens each time the tag is approaching the reader.

9- Then we will go through the if statement and what is the importance of having them in the code.

1- What is the technology of Wearable technology.

• It’s all about the devices that are worn on the body with comfort.

2- Wearables are classified into several types according to how it’s being worn.

3- Then we will show a video that will explain wearables

4- Wearables are widely used these days, most of us have at least one wearable device.

5- Most of the fields have gained the maximum from the wearable technology, but for sure there is the field which mostly gained from.

1- We will show the participant what we will build today and how to connect it.

2- Then we will briefly explain what is microcontroller.

3- We will discuss what is the force sensor and how the sensor works.

4- Then we will go through the LED and how it works.

5- Then we will start coding the microcontroller using the Make-Code Adafruit from Microsoft.

1- IOT is not spread from too long it’s a concept wanted to happen from 1950, but it did not show very clear to users until the 21st century.

• IOT is a network where every thing is talking to each other and every thing is reachable and monitored through Internet.

2- This works when sensors are gathering data and pushing it to the network and a user can access the network from a different location to read the sensor data.

3- The advantage of such systems are not going to meet an end as long as its application are in every realm.

4- The below video will describe the concept of IOT.

5- Then we will ask the participant about what would make this technology true.

• Sensors are the real game changing as it made all of this True due to the ability of gathering data.

6- Sensors works when a real physical quantity stimulate the sensor then the sensor will change the physical stimulation to electrical signal.

7- Sensors have types according to the need of power to work as active sensor need power to work but passive works when ever there is a physical quantity to stimulate the sensor.

• Sensors are being used by us every single day.
• We are carrying sensors in our pocket.

8- One of the application on the IOT system.

• This is a management system that keeps an eye on the number of people within a certain area.

9- We will build an IOT system using an ESP 32 microcontroller to collect data through sensor and respond from the Online platform.

10- ESP 32 is a microcontroller integrated with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

11- The circuit we will assemble is too simple; we will connect the ESP32 with the Arduino in order to send the data from the Arduino to ESP32 in order to use the Wi-Fi module.

12- Then using the ESP32 we will connect to an online platform called Thinger.io to monitor and respond to the data.
