IoT-based Mailbox System using Android and Arduino
Published in Korea Information Processing Society (KIPS) Spring Conference, 2015
요약: 학부 시절 프로젝트입니다. 우편물이 도착하면 센서가 이를 감지하고, Arduino가 신호를 전달해 Android 앱으로 알림을 보내는 시스템을 만들었습니다. 지금 하는 연구와는 거리가 멀지만, 물리 세계의 개인적인 정보를 네트워크로 옮기는 일을 처음 해본 경험이었습니다.
⚡️ TL;DR
An undergraduate project: a mailbox that tells your phone when mail arrives, built with Arduino sensors and an Android app.
👩🏻💻 My Role
- Co-developed the Android application and the device communication layer.
- Contributed to system design and the conference poster.
🧪 Methods / Data
- Arduino-based sensing of mail arrival, relayed to a paired Android client.
- Focus on low-cost components and a simple notification flow.
📝 Note
This is early undergraduate work, kept here as part of the record. Looking back, it was the first time I built something that moved private information out of a physical space and onto a network — a question I now approach with cryptography rather than sensors.
