LITREATURE REVIEW:
An audio tourist guide is widely used in a lot of foreign countries that
attract a large number of tourists. It can be seen in many museums and sites of
attraction. Often such audio tourist guides are available on a variety of
languages to give the tourist the best experience and understanding of the
location.
In our project we aim to create an audio guide for our college campus as a part
of the 225th year celebrations. A lot of alumni will be visiting the college all
year throughout and this could be a new medium for them to view their matter.
This feature is used in the London Red Bus. The bus has a fixed route with a
hop an hop off feature or you can just go sightseeing on their bus itself. The
audio guide gives information about the location viewed in real time .

ABSTRACT:
RFID based museum guide (Electronic hand held device) is designed to
replace tourist guides to an extent. It’s a voice powered device that speaks out
as the tourist is travelling from one monument to another monument
(museum).This is achieved by placing a RFID receiver with the tourist (palm
device). As soon as the electronic hand held device comes in the local area id
the microcontroller receives the RF tag unique id from the receiver and compete
it with its own data. If there is similarity occurs the microcontroller will play an
audio clip related to that statue/painting. An RFID module basically comprises a
tag and a reader. A RFID system comprises of an antenna, a transceiver and a
transponder.

RFID BASED TOUCH SCREEN MUSEUM GUIDE SYSTEM

ABSTRACT:
Tourism plays an important role in the economies of many countries.
Tourism can secure employment, foreign exchange earnings, investment and
regional development. The goal of the system is to provide correct and easy
information to the tourist, to make tourism attractive. Visitors are not always
able to be given a guided tour at the museums. However, the learning outcome
is related to the skills of the guides that explain the things. In order to provide
a self-learning environment, interactive device were designed to provide
relevant content, when the visitors are browsing by themselves. The objective
was to replace the manual guide. Guides use various pedagogical strategies to
make the contents interesting. In order to provide personalized learning
Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology is used to associate
each user with a unique identification. RFID comprises a reader and a tag. The
reader receives the identity of an object from the embedded tag wirelessly
using radio waves and then compares it with the corresponding identification
stored
in the database. When a match is found, detailed information is retrieved and
user can able to listen the audio clip of the painting, with these our project is
providing images related to that painting. So the user can take a audio as well
as image tour of the museum. This seminar focuses on to make a user friendly
device for making easy guide line to tourist with combination of audio and
image facility

COMPONENT ANALYSIS:
How Does RFID Technology Work?
RFID is an intelligent application of radio communication technology.
Every RFID tag embedded in a product contains an integrated circuit chip
(illustrate in the accompanying picture), with memory, which can be used to
store information about a product, along with a transponder mechanism, which
can transmit this information over a radio carrier wave after encoding and
modulating it. An RFID tag can either be active or passive. When the tag is
powered by a battery to transmit data, it's known as an active tag. Passive tags
don't have on board power to transmit data. They borrow energy from the
scanner antenna in the RFID reader to transmit data. An RFID reader consists of
a scanning antenna which can receive signals from the tags, decode them and
process them for storing it in a database. Here is how a typical RFID tag reading
occurs.
Step 1: RFID Antenna Sends Scanning Signal
An RFID tagged product may either be passed through a reader or
scanner or brought into the vicinity of one. Line of sight identification is not
necessary in case of RFID technology and the tags are embedded inside a
product. The tag reading process begins with the RFID antenna sending a
scanning signal which activates the transponder in a tag to respond. The
scanning frequency is chosen to match with the transmitting frequency of the
transponder.
Step 2: RFID Tag Transmits Signal
As soon as the active or passive RFID transponder receives the scanning
signal, it sends out its own encoded and modulated signal over a radio carrier
wave. Active RFID tags can transmit signals over long distances.
Step 3: Tag Signal is Received, Decoded and Stored
This transmitted signal is received by the reader through its tuned
antenna. Subsequently, the signal is demodulated and decoded to register
product information in a database. These RFID scanners are attached to
computers where this information is stored. Bulk identification of products and
short scanning time are two of the prime advantages of using RFID tags, instead
of bar code labels. RFID tags find varied applications. They have been used to
track dwindling populations of animals in the wild. Employee ID cards have
built in RFID tags, encased in plastic layers that are used in most corporate and
industrial settings nowadays. The US army is one of the biggest patrons of this
technology, using it to tag all containers transported worldwide, followed by
Walmart which uses the technology in all its retail outlets. RFID chip implants
in humans have been used for providing medical history and identification
purposes.
