Desarrollo de un prototipo para localización de mascotas basado en tecnología NFC.

Abstract

In this final Degree Project, a prototype is implemented that allows locating pets, which has an Android application and uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. The architecture of the prototype is client-server type and is composed of: Android client application, database and web service. In addition, the prototype uses NFC tags, which helps to identify the pet while reading all the details on the tag in case a pet gets lost. This document is organized as follows: Chapter 1 presents a summary of the concepts, everything about tools and technologies used for the prototype´s development. Chapter 2 presents the methodology applied for the prototype development, a particular analysis of the applications available on the market for searching for pets, a summary of the design made and its implementation. Chapter 3 presents the test results of the prototype, as well as the modifications of all errors found. Finally, Chapter 4 brings together all the conclusions and recommendations obtained at the end of this project. Additionally, annexes include: the interview model applied to pet owners, the sketches made for the interfaces, the interview model to validate the operation and its results, the source code of the developed prototype, the user manual and the installation manual.
