DTMF BASED DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM

The main aim of this project is to provide security at homes, offices etc. The
system automatically locks the door as soon as it receives a predefined message from the
user.

This project uses the mobile communication, DTMF. To receive the messages
from the user mobile, we use a DTMF decoder in this project. Dual-tone multi-frequency
signaling (DTMF) is used for telecommunication signaling over analog telephone lines in
the voice frequency band between telephone handsets and other communications devices
and the switching center. The version of DTMF used in push button telephones for tone
dialing is known as Touch-Tone, which was first used by AT&T in commerce as a
registered trademark.

If the user is somewhere far from the main door and he wants to close the main door right
from the place he is standing, he has to send a predefined number to the decoder. The
controlling unit will be fixed at the main door. This controlling unit contains the
microcontroller and the DTMF decoder interfaced to it. The microcontroller continuously
checks whether it has received any message from the decoder.

The microcontroller locks the door only when it receives the predefined number from the
user mobile through DTMF decoder. The door locking is preformed by rotating the
stepper motor fixed to the door. This will be done perfectly without the involvement of
any human. The system activates the buzzer for a short duration whenever the door is
closed.
