1.1 Introduction
Electronics display board system, is a system electronically designed and constructed, that is used to display different information to the view of the masses. The information to be displayed could be diagrams, symbols letters, colours, numbers, codes etc depending on what is needed at a particular places and time. This without doubt, has made life easier for the people in different ways, however electronics display board, which is the heart of this system, can be described thus: an electronic display is a computer. In this modern world Mobile Phones and the related technologies are becoming more and more prevalent. Various technical arenas in the field of Telecommunication and Embedded Systems are becoming omnipresent in the people. The use of cell phones has rapidly increased over the last decade and a half. Upgradation in networking technologies has encouraged the development and growth of very dense networks.
Now-a-days the general mass prefer communicating while on the move therefore landlines usage has been drastically reduced Notice boards are one of the widely used ones ranging from primary schools to major organizations to convey messages at large. A lot of paper is been used and which is later wasted by the organizations. This in turn leads to a lot of deforestation thus leading to global warming. Small innovative steps in making use of technology for regular purposes would have an adverse effect on the environment issues which we are presently concerned about. The main aim of this seminar is to design an SMS driven automatic display Board which can replace the currently used programmable electronic display and conventional notice boards. It is proposed to design receive cum display toolkit which can be programmed and later be used from an authorized mobile phone. The GSM modem receives a message from the authorized mobile phone and the message is extracted by the microcontroller from the GSM modem and is displayed on the LED display board.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitation of the study and Definition of technical terms.
