Abstract:
This paper presents a novel approach defined as “Lab-on-Phone” which is a new “Dielectric Footprint Measure” platform, specially for food quality control with storage and administration processes over the Internet. It can also be used for other types of products making minimal changes. A small acquisition device, with an inter-digitized capacitor sensor sends measurements to a smartphone via Near Field Communication (NFC) protocol. An Android application installed on the smartphone displays these measurements in a graph and sends them to a web server via Wi-Fi or cellphone network. For example, Lab-on-Phone allows users to know on site the food quality, and to companies, to have a quality control sensor network with a data base and a web server.
