| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 105 === Whenever there are weekends or holidays, crowds are always packed both in the department stores and shopping areas. Therefore, it is normally hard to find a nice restaurant to dine at. If we don’t make a reservation in advance, we will have to line up for quite a while and doing so can easily spoil your mood.
Because of the aforementioned situation, I figured out a suitable solution -- a smart line-up system based on the embedded Linux platform Raspberry Pi. The system utilizes the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) module and RFID tags as a tool to help people while lining up. It functions in that every RFID tag has an unique identifier (UID). The UID can differentiate between different customers. And also customers will be given numbers in order to keep track of them. This information that contains the UID and the identification number will be uploaded to the MySQL database setup on Raspberry Pi. Thus, the system can be seen as a sort of server that the restaurant can use to organize its statistical data about customers, reservations, and more. Consequently, customers can browse the restaurant’s website or smart phone application to check how many people are waiting on site or use other services such as viewing the restaurant’s information or menu and booking tables.
