Abstract:
This article shows the first steps of a new remote access technology for a smart kitchen. With a mobile device and this technology the user will be able to remotely check the foodstock at home by using a smartphone application. Therefore, we firstly integrated a scale application and Radio--Frequency Identification (RFID) to measure the fill level of food boxes in the kitchen. This information is processed and stored by a specific component of an information system called FillLevelCheck, which is part of a smart kitchen project. By setting up a connected web server this information will be available online and can be requested by mobile web applications. This article describes the functionality of the information system component FillLevelCheck and the used hardware. In a next step, we will continue setting up the web frontend and the mobile application for remotely accessing the information. Altogether, this article presents a solution to measure fill levels of food boxes, which is more comfortable than other applications and acceptable for users.
