Interfacing IOT systems and controlling them through smart phones, tablets, smart speakers, physical interactions with the systems are reduced and becomes more accessible and user-friendly. In this research, we investigate application of IoT for the development of smart school bags to help students, parents and the school in managing and packing school bag according to the school program and to get notification for misplaced/missed items in the bag. This paper presents an IoT enabled smart school bag to delivers an easier and quicker timetable management for kids going to school and giving instant notification to the parents about the missed/ misplaced items like books, notebooks, hat, water bottle, sport wears, and lunchbox through the developed mobile application. We present the hardware, the IoT server support mechanism and demonstration of the prototype of the bag.","PeriodicalId":220655,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Internet of Things Research and Practice (iCIOTRP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116858153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goonetillake","doi":"10.1109/iCIOTRP48773.2019.00011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/iCIOTRP48773.2019.00011","url":null,"abstract":"Over the years, the food produced for human consumption is lost or affected due to many factors. Among these, pest/disease incidence is one significant factor contributing to crop losses. Hence, early identification of the presence of pest/disease incidence is essential to manage crop losses. In Sri Lanka, farmers identify a pest/disease incidence by mainly relying on the input given by agricultural experts, and sometimes they rely on fellow farmers, pesticide dealers, and even on their own experience. The current approaches followed by the farmers to communicate the pest/disease symptoms to agricultural experts are not appropriate and resulted in many incorrect choices made by the farmers. In this paper, we discuss about an extension we proposed for a mobile application we developed for farmers in Sri Lanka called Govi Nena. This extension aimed to capture the conditions concerning pest/disease symptoms and climate present in the field to assist agricultural experts in the decisionmaking process. We consider each farmer as a sensor to capture information such as symptoms present in the crop, distribution of symptoms, affected parts of the plant, and growth stage of it. The enhanced version of the application was given to agricultural experts to understand their feedback in regards to this. The feedback was positive, and now, we have undertaken to deploy the application among several farmers based in Sri Lanka for testing purposes.","PeriodicalId":220655,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Internet of Things Research and Practice (iCIOTRP)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129445881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these facilities are inaccessible to visually impaired users. Moreover, voice aided feature with Global Positioning System (GPS) cannot be adopted in indoor applications due to signal strength attenuation and multipath effects. Internet of Things (IoT) has become a backbone for such navigation applications that can assist in locating a user within IoT equipped smart buildings. Despite the growing use of Wi-Fi and beacon technologies, smartphones are uniquely positioned to be a critical part of a localization solution. The popularity of smartphone is increased by the diverse array of microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial sensors. This paper discusses the adaptive distance estimation algorithm for visually impaired people. It represents the use of a smartphone in a situation where external proximity sensors fail to share location information to supplement an indoor navigation system in dark areas. An improved fusion algorithm is presented that adapts the walking style of a user detecting right turns and headings. The proposed fusion algorithm depends on inertial sensors to detect the relative position of the moving user with the absolute initial position using ibeacon. Tests were carried out to determine the accuracy of steps travelled, orientation and heading information for a user holding a smartphone. Our approach estimates heading and orientation from 3-axis inertial sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer) have shown accuracy more than 95%. The positioning root-mean-square error (RMSE) calculation results have demonstrated that the hybrid fusion algorithm can achieve a real-time positioning and reduce the error of indoor positioning.","PeriodicalId":220655,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Internet of Things Research and Practice (iCIOTRP)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121665233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
