Electronic Password Based Door Lock System

Software with Security Alert

Abstract - Presented here is an electronic locking system in which GUI( Graphical User Interface) plays the role of the processing
unit. Access control for the door is achieved using GUI JFrame Forms. This project exhibits a system for locking and unlocking
purposes using a pre-defined password. These locking systems are used to control the movement of door and are functional without
requiring a key to lock or unlock the door. These locking systems are controlled by an onscreen keyboard.The main objective of this
project is to give safety at every common place like home or any public place. In this user would give a known password. The
information will be stored in database. When the correct password will be entered, the back end coding will give instructions to the
linked JFrame Form. That form will perform the action on door unlocking. Thus, what we want is digital technology to construct an
integrated and well customized safety system software at a price which is reasonable.

1. INTRODUCTION 2. a a aMETHODOLOGY

An electronic lock allows activation of an electric appliance only

Science and technology have advanced our life in many
ways. It facilitates the process of industrialization as well as
modernization of the world.Password based locking system
is one of the modern electronic lock system. This project
“GUI based password protected locking system software”
can be used to provide enough security in various places
like bank lockers, security doors, On successful password
entry, the door unlocks for a specified amount of time
enabling the user to store or restore their valuable
information.If the password is wrong, then door would
remain locked,denying access to the person. Main idea
behind this project is of adoor-latch opening using a
password entered through onscreen keyboard. As well as
following the progress bar till 100% when password is
entered wrong for multiple times.User can modify this
password anytime they want. The main component in the
system is Graphical User Interface performed on tool
Netbeans version 8.2. Bulk SMS is also used to send a text
message to owner of the house about the breach of asecurity
.Onscreen keyboard is used to enter the password.The
entered password is compared with the known password. If
it is acorrect password, the system opens the door and
displays the status of door on message pop up. If the
password is wrong then door remains closed and displays
a“WRONG PASSWORD” on and an alert is sent to through
SMS. This lock can be used in many fields.
on entering the correct password. Such electronic locking systems in
which a microcontroller plays the role of the processing
unit,interfaced with a 4×4 matrix keypad and a 16×2 LCD to the
user interface. Using this circuit, one can make any electrical
appliance password protected. It can be used as an electronic door
lock by interfacing the output of the circuit with an electrically
actuated door lock. The system turns on the appliance on entering a
three digit’s password. But here we have presented this system
through Graphical User Interface which is commonly known as
GUI. It is a system of interactive visual components for computer
software. A GUI displays objects that convey information, and
represent actions that can be taken by the user. The objects change
color, size, or visibility when the user interacts with them. We have
introduced JFrame forms that link each other resulting in the
validation of correct password. The software we have used to
execute this system is NetBeans IDE version 8.2 which supports
Java's Object Oriented Programming Language. The four pillars of
OOP are abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
An additional feature has also been coded through Java that
immediately notifies the user in the form of a text message in order
to secure the system functionally. The owner of the system will
receive a message on his mobile phone if incorrect password is
entered or an unkown access has been verified.
3. a aCOMPONENTS aUSED aIN aDESIGNING
We will be providing the detailed description of every
componenta used in designing this password based door
locking system:
3.1 GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
A GUI includes a range of user interface elements
which just means all the elements that display when
you are working in an application. These can include
Input controls such as buttons, dropdown lists,
checkboxes, and text fields. Informational elements
such as labels, banners, icons, or notification dialogs.
Figure 1. GUI Hierarchy
3.2 MESSAGE DIALOGUE BOX
The JOptionPane class is used to provide standard
dialog boxes such as message dialog box, confirm
dialog box and input dialog box. These dialog boxes
are used to display information or get input from the
user. The JOptionPane class inherits JComponent
class.
Figure 2. JOptionPane Example
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaa 3.3 SHOWMESSAGEDIALOGUE( )
Most Dialogs present an error message or warning to a user, but
Dialogs can present images, directory trees, or just about
anything compatible with the main Swing Application that
manages them.For convenience, several Swing component
classes can directly instantiate and display dialogs..An alert
message will pop up on the screen as a JOptionPane Message
Dialogue when alerts are observed. This is a review of
the showMessageDialog() method of JOptionPane Class. This
method is a quick and easy way to tell the user about something
that has happened.

3.4 COMFORT ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD PRO
The on-screen keyboard displays the characters that are actually
typed in any language, which allows you to type text without a
localized keyboard. You can quickly switch between languages
with just one click or touch.
You can customize the on-screen keyboard's look and behavior
the position, size and number of keys.

4. a aWORKING aOF aTHE SYSTEM 6. AIMPLEMENTATION OF CLASSES

Front page display form is shown below. By clicking the next

button select your country page form will be shown.
Select a country and enter your mobile number so that if you
enter wrong password or someone else tries to login then you
would be immediately notified. Contact number details of the
user will be saved automatically in the system after entering it.
Security alert message will be sent to the provided number if
incorrect password is entered or multiple incorrect entries are
noted. Login page form has been displayed asking for the
credentials of the user. Enter correct and accurate information.
Login page form has been displayed asking for the credentials of
the user. Enter correct and accurate information. By entering the
correct password a message dialogue will pop-up verifying that
the password has been entered correctly. As soon as the user
clicks the”OK” button from the message dialogue the door will
be opened in the form of a GIF image.A progress bar as also been
inserted in order to check the movement of the door. Now the
door movement will vary according to percentage of the progress
bar. For example a random time delay at 76% is been shown in
which the door is partially closing. As soon as the progress bar
reaches upto 100% the door will automatically close. It can
opened again by entering the correct password. By entering a
wrong password a message dialogue will be displayed that will
quote” Incorrect Password entered and security alert message has
been sent to the number”.

The above flowchart gives a brief idea as to how the project works.
Initially the password is known. When login form is displayed the
user is prompted to enter the password. The user enters the
password through a keypad which is read by the system coded..
Now the entered password is checked with the known password. If
the password matches, then the door unlocks until the progress bar
reaches hundred. Else the alert messages indicating invalidity of
the password.

12. FUTURE SCOPE
The security level can be increased by adding a biometric
fingerprint scanner. We can interface sensors like Fire,LPG,
PIR motion detector to microcontroller in case of any
accident so that door will open automatically. We can
interface camera to the micro controller so that it could
capture the picture of the thief who is trying to breach the
security. This simple circuit can be used at places like home
to ensure better safety. With a slight modification, this
project can also be used to control the switching of loads
through password. It can also be used at organizations to
ensure authorized access to highly secured places.
13. CONCLUSION
This project is effective in providing enough security as long
as the password is not shared. In future this “Arduino based
password security locking System” can be provided
maximum security by the above enhancements in order to
completely satisfy user’s needs. Hence, a common man can
afford to purchase such locking system in minimal cost to
keep his valuables safely without any worries. Designing this
project through different programming languages e.g. Object
oriented programming can have a more economical and
budget friendly effect on the users. It can also be used as an
individual application security lock for different applications
like Whatsapp, Photo Gallery and other built-in social media
apps. For instance if someone unlocks your phone they still
cannot have access to personal data and information on these
apps since it is secured with password.
14. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Various novelty and modification can be performed in our
project. We can make the locking system more secured by
adding more stage. We can use card authorization system in
which card will be scanned first then password will be
checked later.We can use another technique called
biometrics. Biometrics may be more prominent and a
recognized means of positive identification. Their use may
enhance security. Some new technologies such as fingerprint
scanning, retinal scanning and iris scanning, and voiceprint
identification also can be inserted.
