1.0 PROBLEM OR OPPORTUNITY
smart key detector is a project where we produce a keychain that has a buzzer that is placed
on a key such as a house key or a car key. Usually, someone will forget where they put the
house or car key when they want to go out. this will take a person more time and there will be
a waste of time just looking for the key. The purpose of producing this project is to produce a
sound when the user forgets to put the key where or the key is dropped somewhere. The
keychain that is on the key will make a sound just by pressing the trigger button on the
application on the smartphone.
1.1 Introduction
we produce a tool called "smart key detector" where this tool is in the form of a keychain that
is attached to any key that we often forget or lose. This tool works by making a loud sound
when we press the trigger button on the application (blynk) on the smart phone. A problem that
often happens in our society is that we often come late to work or to class. our research found
that a few of these problems stem from the problem of losing keys or forgetting where they
are, regardless of whether they are car keys or house keys. By using this tool, the user only
needs to open the application (blynk) on the smartphone and press the trigger button only then
this device will emit a loud sound (expected distance is 100 meters) the user will be able to
locate where the lost key is.This method can save the energy and prevent time waste of the
users instead of finding where the key in a long time.
1.2 Problem statement
in our society, people always forget small matter but very important things. for example,
forgetting where they put their house keys or vehicle keys. in addition, the problem of dropping
the key also often happens to some people. this will result in a waste of time and energy to find
where it is. even worse, if someone is late for work, they will definitely be late and will be
scolded by the boss.

1.3 Objective

1. to investigate that the project produced can give benefit to the public.
2. to construct a facility for people where this tool can save their time and energy
3. to develop the name of port dickson polytechnic in the eyes of the world
 2.0 PROJECT SCOPE AND CONSTRAINTS

2.1 Project Scope

This complete project will be powered by the Lithium polymer Battery and AMS117-3.3V is
used to regulate 3.3V for the ESP8266-01 board. VCC and CH_PD pins of ESP8266-01 are
connected to the output pin of AMS1117 while we connect the GND pin to the negative rail of
the battery. The positive terminal of Buzzer is connected to the GPIO2 pin of ESP8266 while
the negative terminal of the buzzer is connected to the GND of ESP8266-01so we are done
with the connections. Now we proceeded with assembling the PCB.
2.2 Project Constraints

This project will take quite some time to complete because of the limited time we had as a
students. So, it will take a week or two to complete the project successfully and this project
will cost around RM200 to develop this project including making the model, the equipment,
the hardware and full functional project. Then maybe hardware resources will be available
within 1 to 2 months.The challenging part of this project is coding, because we have to write
the coding carefully to avoid making any mistake that will effect the result of the signal to be
sent to the smart key detector.
 3.0 CARRY OUT FACT FINDING

the complete setup will be powered by the Lithium polymer Battery and AMS117-3.3V is used
to regulate 3.3V for the ESP8266-01 board. VCC and CH_PD pins of ESP8266-01 are
connected to the output pin of AMS1117 while we connect the GND pin to the –ve rail of the
battery. The positive terminal of Buzzer is connected to the GPIO2 pin of ESP8266 while the
negative terminal of the buzzer is connected to the GND of ESP8266-01.
 4.0 PROJECT USABILITY, COST BENEFIT AND SCHEDULE DATA

4.1 Cost Estimation of Project

The cost estimation gives the big picture of all the components of the project that need to be
managed to make it successful. The cost estimation is also where the project is cost. The
benefits of a cost estimation:
i. A management framework is put in place to support the successful planning and
implementation of the project.
ii. Helps to identify the full costs and realistic timeframes for doing the project.

Table 4.1 Cost estimation of project

NO ITEMS UNIT PRICE (RM)
1. ESP8266-01 1 Rm50
2. AMS1117 3.3V Voltage Regulator 1 Rm10
3. Buzzer 1 Rm5
4. Lithium Polymer battery 1 Rm15
5. 10µf Capacitor 2 Rm5
TOTAL Rm80

4.2 Project Duration

The project duration is the basic project management characteristic that is usually expressed in
terms of working time.

1. Prepare, Making the circuit of the project 2
2. Design and complete the whole project 2
4.3 Project Usability
this smart key detector works to make a sound when the user presses the trigger button in the
application (blynk) on the smartphone. so if the user loses the key at home, he only needs to
open the phone and press the trigger button then this smart key detector will produce a loud
beep sound .the user can easily find where it is by following the direction of the sound from
the smart key only. this product can provide great benefits because it can make it easier and
save a person's time. in addition, it also saves a person's energy. one of the problems the
possibility that can happen if the user does not have internet on the smartphone, then the
application cannot be used and the smart watch will not be able to be detected.
 5.0 FEASIBILITY STUDY

5.1 Technical Resources

From investigation process of this project, there are several technical resources need to take
into account such as: i. We have limited knowledge of the programming coding or the software
but we can make some research in the internet or asking to someone who are expert in coding
to build a coding with the right way for this project. ii. All the electronic component that will
use in the project need to buy early to make the process of the project run smoothly without
problem

5.2 Financial Resources

This project will cost around RM200 including making the model, the equipment, the
hardware and full functional project. We will divide it for two persons, it will only cost
RM100 per person, it will be affordable for both of us as a student. The entire cost started
with our own pocket money without any assistance or sponsorship from others.
 6.0 CONCLUSION

6.1 Judgement/Conclusion

Judgement/Conclusion This project will be successful as long as researcher stick to the main
plan. If there are problems identified in the process of making, we will try to solve the problem
as soon as possible.We also will test our project first to see whether there are problems or not.
If there are problems, we will troubleshoot it to make it run successfully. If this project
succeeds, it will helps a lot for people who always forget and lost their important key.

6.2 Recommendation

This project is suitable for helping a person that lost their key at a certain place in a certain
radius. It is also suitable for a person who always forgot where they put their key at.

6.3 Benefits to the organization

At the end of this project, we hope that our project called Smart Key Detector will contribute
and give benefit to everyone, education community and especially in our country. It is because
our project helps people to find their key that went missing and if they forgot where they put
thier keys.
