Smart Lock Systems

Noke lock: register when your smartphone is nearby and then allow you to unlock your Noke in one of two ways: 1-Step Unlock– Afuer you click the padlock shackle, signaling your Noke to search for your smartphone, your Noke will automatjcally unlock when it connects to your device via Bluetooth. TappLock: smart fjngerprint padlock. Using just your fjn- gerprint, which you can program in the app, you’re granted instant, one of a kind access. You don’t need your phone on you to use it but you can use the app to grant users access with their fjngerprint when you’re not around.

Smart Lock Systems currently on the market.

Moocall - SMS Calving Alert Sensor

Moocall: An SMS calving alert sensor, Moocall, texts you when calving has started. Moocall is the fjrst of its kind; easy to use, non-invasive and cost efgectjve solutjon for live calf birth monitoring. This non-invasive, tail mounted sensor gathers over 600 pieces of data a second. It can accurately predict when your cow is most likely to give birth by measuring tail movement patuerns triggered by labour contractjons. When they reach a certain level of intensity over a period

• f tjme it then sends an SMS text alert directly to your cell

phone on average 1 hour prior to calving.

/ How it works /

The Bull Lock system operates with the print of the user. The fjnger /thumb print of the user operatjng as a key for the Bull Lock to lock and unlock. This is completed by the user scanning their thumb/Finger print

• n the fjnger print reader on the face of the Bull Lock. When the

thumb/fjnger print is read by the Bull Lock. The print informatjon is saved to the Bull Locks data. On farms all over the world more than one farmer works on the

• land. Therefore access is needed to the farm for more than just
• ne person. The Bull Lock allows the owner to set up additjonal
• utside user access by downloading their print details like before.

Community contacts can be added to the Bull Locks data is regard- ing to alerts in an emergency situatjon. The owner can view the lock history in regarding, who locked/un- locked and tapered with the Bull Lock. Within an emergency situatjon the owner can send an emergency message to the Bull Lock community contacts all at once.

Paper Prototype

Prototype - Marvel POP App

/ User T esting /

Paper Prototype: Within the paper prototype the user scenario that was created was for the user to create a profjle, add fjnger print details to the Bull Lock and add community contacts to the Bull Lock Library. This was accomplished by creatjng a linear patuern of screens. In order to give the user more of a realistjc experience I used the Marvel POP app, which allows paper prototype testjng on the phone. This was ideal as it saved me carrying a large prototype out to Co. Tipperary. Testjng: Once the Paper Prototype was model ready for testjng I asked the farmer in which I completed the research phase with to act as my test subject. This in- volved traveling back out to Tipperary to commence the user testjng. It was easy to conduct as it was designed in a functjoning app like fashion. I re- corded the exercise through photos and audio recordings for analysis later on. The partjcipants role was to navigate without my help and comment what they felt or thought as they went about the task. From this I would learn if the in- terface was user friendly and if extra functjons needed to be added in order to make the process more seamless. The testjng was efgectjve and I learned both good and bad factors about the app.

Paper Prototype test results:

The fjrst issue occurred when the partjcipant were asked to add community contacts to the Bull Lock account. (In which to contact in an emergency). I found that the user was somewhat confused to why he had to type in phone contacts individually. He found it to be not an ideal use

• f tjme.

It was suggested that it would be more appropriate if the user sync their phone contacts from their phone to the Bull Lock contacts.

Paper Prototype test results: There was also some confusion with the partjcipant when looking into the alert functjon. The user did not understand what they were to do in an alert senario. I explained that the alert optjon actjvates within an

• emergency. But he then wondered would he be able

to customize the alert message details to the Bull Lock community contacts as he said that each gate

• n his farm is in difgerent locatjons , in which i have

never have though of before. He advised that he would like to customize the alert message with the Bull Lock alert locatjon to provide clarity of the locatjon. I received a lot of positjve feedback from this exercise and overall the user were satjsfjed with the interface. Some of the positjves I found from the testjng phase were the lock set up feedback as he explained it was clear and easy to set up, The range of functjonality when looking at the history log of the Bull Lock and the overall ease of use was a big positjve within the feedback of the Bull Lock interface.
