This invention relates to LoRa and Internet of Things Inspired System for Food request in cities by needy people.
Background of the Invention
Generally, to needy people it is difficult for some time to find the food in the city. So, they is need of establishment of the system, that can alert the food providing unit to deliver the food at the particular location. This indeed feed the needy people.
TWI711413B An intelligent food delivery vehicle system is suitable for transporting a food and includes a rail device, an intelligent food delivery vehicle, and a control device. The track device includes a number positioning tag. The smart food delivery truck includes a cargo front and an electronic control unit. The carriage head includes a tray base and a movable wheel set. The movable wheel set has at least two rollers and at least one motor. The electric control unit includes a control module.

Generally, in the cities, it is difficult to needy people to identify and get the food to satisfy their hungry. With the presence of advanced technology like internet of things (IoT) and LoRa protocol, a system can be implemented for requesting the food on the basis of request. In this invention, we proposed a system that is mainly focused to generate food request through LoRa protocol and internet as shown in figure.1.
The food request module (10, 11, 12, 13) is the primary module that are deployed in different location of cities with the certain range in between them. The push button switch (92) is the main task to be done by the needy people for requesting the food. The remaining task like communicating request and location are processed by controller (90) through LoRa module (91).
A central supervisor unit (20) will be placed in the particular radius for processing the food request received from food request module (10, 11, 12, 13) that are connected to it. This central supervisor unit (20) transmits request to local food center unit (31) through internet. Based on request received from the food request module (10, 11, 12, 13), the food will be delivered to that location. This invention indeed assists the needy people to satisfy their hunger and food distribution center can distribute the food to needy people effectively at any location.
Figure.2 illustrates the food request module (10, 11, 12, 13), where the controller (90) is interfaced with push switch button (92) through relay to generate food request. LoRa module (91) transmits the request and location from GPS (96) to central supervisor unit (20). An LED (95) is interfaced to the controller (90) to indicate that the request is sent successfully. A solar panel-based power supply (94) is utilized for powering the complete module.
Figure 3 illustrates the central supervisor unit (20), which is responsible for supervising the ‘n’ number of food request module (10, 11, 12, 13). LoRa module (81) receives the request from the module and through Wi-Fi module it connects to internet and update the request to the local food center unit (31) through internet. A color LED display (84) the location and number of requests receiving from the module. An external power supply (83) is used for powering the unit.
