Idea

Our project is inspired by the coke dispenser. We want to introduce this concept into the living environment. This concept aims to promote home automation and make users feel convenient. Also, this device is to help users’ arrangement of their snacks and prevent a messy situation. Thus, we think that a candy dispenser is the best choice because eating candy is no age limit. It can be attractive for everyone.

Function

Each user will have their RFID tag or cards to get the candy. If they want to get their candy, they need to put their cards or tags on the readers. It will automatically detect their cards. If their RFID UID is accurate, the green light on the reader will be on, and the reader will command the servomotor rotating. Then, the users can get their candy from the dispenser because the candy will be falling from the container

On the other hand, if users use other inaccurate cards such as student cards, the red light on the RFID reader will be on. It means that the UID of the card is not accurate. The readers cannot command the servomotor rotating. So, they will not get the candy if they use other cards such as Octopus card and credit cards. It is simple to use.

Features

The main feature of this dispenser is using the RFID technique, which replaces the traditional switch button. The users do not need to press the button to get their candies. Also, this device is inspired by a coke dispenser. People may feel interested in this installation because it is unexpectedly for them to use this conceptive device at home. For instance, if some friends or family members visit users’ homes, they likely feel that the device is very modern and attractive. Also, it can be an item of mini furniture too. As we all know, Hongkongers like to decorate the living environment, and this device is a desirable installation to decorate users’ homes. Thus, it can achieve many things at once stroke.
