1. RFID Event Specification and Notification Kayla Eucken

2. Project Motivation Humans are often forgetful We use many ways to remind ourselves o Post-it notes o Emails o Calendar entries These methods must be visible at the critical time Example: o Post-it note reminder to bring a book to a meeting o Must see the reminder before leaving your office to go to the meeting o The reminder may not be necessary or may be overlooked Our system uses the RFID Ecosystem to allow conditional reminders.

3. Problem Statement The average, non-technical user cannot currently benefit from creating their own RFID events, context-specific reminders, and other notifications.

4. Project Goals 1.Allow users to graphically specify events o Scenic o Templates 2.Allow users to subscribe to notification for events o Email or SMS o Certainty threshold o Notification sent when event is detected

5. Scenic The purpose of Scenic is to allow non-technical users to specify RFID events o drag-and-drop o no need to learn a scripting language Previous sensor or RFID reminder systems have required the user to create events using a scripting language o Mik Lamming's SPEC

7. Encounter o Example: I meet with Magda Enter/Leave a place o Example: I leave the DB lab Example Events

8. Example Events (cont.) Item Security o Example:The little girl statue leaves the building o Example: Projector #30053376 leaves the DB lab

9. Templates Templates are events with some of the details missing

10. Template XML

11. Notifier The purpose of Notifier is to allow users to subscribe to notification for events that they have specified o Email o SMS o Phone (not yet)

14. System Architecture The events specified using Scenic are available to all the RFID Ecosystem applications.

15. Notification Module The program listens for an event to be detected o Receives an Event ID and a probability Retrieves the details for the event o User's contact details o Notification method Sends the notification

16. Sending the Notification Currently can do email or SMS Uses the Javamail API and a UW mailserver Send SMS like emails o Requires knowing the user's phone provider Example: 5554443333@vtext.com

17. DEMO DEMO Example: o I meet with my advisors in the database lab o Notify by email
