Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 97 === Traditionally, forestry and resource conservation needs staff member to inspect and collect data personally, and then bring the information back to workstation for updating database.
However, the traditional practices needs staff member to inspect personally, it is waste of manpower and time. Also, most important of all, the staff member in the workstation cannot reflect on-the-spot, if the tree was felled illegally. Moreover, it simplifies workflow by introducing the RFID technology.
Therefore, construct a RFID Information Service Platform which based on the RFID technology, allows user to stay in the office and monitor the remote forest over the network. On the other hand, the inspection staff member can easily add to the system by using PDA, cell phone or even notebook which supports WiFi wireless network technology, instead of using specific portable reader.
In this study, the forest divided into many regions, each region contains a reader and many RFID tags. Also, each reader connects a wireless access point which allows inspection staff member to adjust the system through wireless network. The primary stages of system construction, all the RFID tags will be attached with location information. Thus, staff member from workstation will be able to report information includes the best location of each reader, in order to get the best results.
The system contains three components, including RFID hardware device, back-end server and the mobile software platform for inspection staff. RFID hardware device is the fundamental of this system for identification of various objects. The server is a repository of RFID system which keeps the attribute of all tags. Inspection staff member can download the attribute of tag and reader and the maps of current area. The main goal of this paper is design and implement software platform for inspection staff member, and it is based on the embedded Linux. The mobile platform provides function such as display map, GPS service, RFID device management, task management and synchronization with server.
