Token Number Display Using PC

Introduction:
Token Display System are ideal for Banks, Airports, Public dealing offices , Hospitals , Doctors Clinics, Restaurants and other such places where people have to wait in line for their turn. These systems allow customers to wait without having to stand in line, once their number is displayed then only will they have to get in line for their turn Musical chime for calling number.

PC Interface:
Small windows based application software will be supplied as shown above. Just type the required number in window using PC keyboard and press Send button to display the numbers in the LCD display. It is also possible to serially increment and decrease the numbers from a preset number. Random number call also possible during calling numbers serially without disturbing the series. This project has been designed on the Intels most powerful microcontroller 8051. Circuit explanation: Port 3 has been connected to 43 matrix key pad. To be used to display token number. Three nos seven segments are used to display the numbers. Data Lins of the seven segments are connected to port 0. , digit control lines are connected to port 1 p1.0, p1.1 and p1.2 lines. Q1, Q2 &Q3 are digit driver transistors. R18, 19, 20 are current limiting resistors. Ic4 74ls245 is used as a buffer to drive the common cathode seven segments. R3 to r9 are current limiting resistors. Port0 is a open source port so we have to connect a pull up resistor in order to make this port a normal digital i/o port. 4.7k sill array resistance is connected to port 0 as external pull up resistors. Ic5 is one time recordable speech ic where all our messages are stored .This ic is addressable so the address are generated by P 2.4, P2.5, P2.6 & P2.7 PINS to trigger the required message. Resistor r18, r19, r20 and r21 are current limiting resistors.

This speech ic5 is high logic active so initially we have to make all these pins to low logic through our programs. And whenever we have to trigger any speech we output logic high on those pins. Binary address is generated on those pins by our program. Up to 12 messages can be stored in this IC. And the total duration of these messages should not be more than 42 seconds at 6k sampling rate. If you increase the sampling rate, the quality of sound will improve but storage duration will reduce. 6k sampling rate is quite enough to speak numbers and emergency message. This is driven by 3.3vdc at pin 9 and 12 through r14 resistor. D5 Is 3.3v zener diode connected for the protection circuit.c9 is filter capacitor. Capacitor c10 isconnected for internal clock generation. Vr1 along with r15 are sampling rate adjust resistors .voice is out from pin 7 and is coupled to pin 3 of ic6 through c12 and vr2 volume control. Capacitor c11 and r16 are for noise reduction purpose. Ic6, Lm 386 is audio amplifier ic driven by 12v dc.capacitor c13 and c17 are filters. Amplified audio is out from pin 5 and drives the speaker through acoupling capacitor c16. Resistor r17 and capacitor c14 are tone correctors. Ic3 is an opto coupler whenever a foot switch is pressed, led inside will glow and photo transistor will conduct making its collector to a low logic which is connected to p1.3 pin 4of the microcontroller when ever foot switch is pressed, this pin will become low and microcontroller will output the address of siren and an emergency siren will be heard. Circuit is driven by 5v dc power supply current drawn is not more than 500ma, A bridge rectifier circuit d1 to d4 capacitors c1 to c4 are filter capacitors. 9v 1 ampere transformer is connected at pcon1. ic 1 is 5v regulator 7805. Ld1 is power indication led. R1 is current limiting resistor. PORT0 has open source internally so we have connected 4.7kX8 SIL, pullup resister to make them digital i/0 pins .This port is used as input port all the sensors are connected to this port. PGM SW is connected to p1.4 pin (5) of port1 is input pin this switch is used to store the telephone number. Sw1 is alarm stop switch connected to pin6 (p1.6) of the microcontroller, used as input pin. Port2,pin number ,25,26,27 and 27 are used as output pins All the input PORT pin logic state is normally high and they are active low. All the output PORT pin logic state is normally low and they are active high pin. Port1 pins are normally high and they are active low;

Operation:
Connect the transformer output to pcon1 power indication led LD1 will come on enter some number from the matrix keyboard, you will find characters displayed on the seven segment. When number entry is finished, press # and you will hear the number entered two times. If you want to repeated this operation just press * and it will again speak out the previous displayed number. Pressing the # again will clear display and you can enter new number. Circuit is driven by 9v 1 ampere transformer connected to PCON1

Press the PGM SW and store the emergency telephone number you wants; the device should call you in case of an emergency. Every time when you press a key you will see number displayed on the display. Suppose you want to store telephone number 23887151 so press these keys one by one at the end press# key. # is like end of telephone number key. So you will have to press 23887151#, A displayed indicates that the telephone number has been stored. Now release the PGM SW,
