In recent years the problem of home land security has attracted increasing attention and resources. The search for solutions that can guarantee greater independence and a better quality of security has begun to develop easily available state-of-the-art technology. Intelligent control systems, most called smart homes, smart environment systems, intelligent buildings, or intelligent homes can now be planned and would go far towards simplifying the interaction between difference technologies. A great number of benefits would stem from the implementation of such systems: greater safety, autonomy and self-esteem, and consequently, better relationships with others.

The proposed project is to utilize Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Voice Recognition technology to create a Security Hands Free Entry System. This project is motivated by the many times when people are hurriedly entering or leaving their residence as they are carrying groceries or boxes which may occupy the use of both hands. With the completion of this project, one will be able to easily enter a home or office even with both hands preoccupied. RFID Technology utilizing a 125 KHz proximity key will allow the user to unlock a lock within two feet (basic) from the door they are trying to open. The users will be able to walk up to the door with their key in their pocket and open the door without having to physically touch the key. The proximity key would replace manual keys, swipe cards. The proximity key design will work in combination with voice recognition to ensure a higher level of personal security when opening the door. A user spends a few moments enrolling his or her voice in an application (creating a voice profile). Under normal operating conditions when the proximity key is within range, the user will be prompted by the application to speak a predetermined phrase of which will be compared to the voice profile on file. If there's a match, the user is accepted, and the door automatically open. The door will remain open for a pre-programmed period of time, and will close at the end of the complete process.

The security hands free entry system is simple and straightforward. It is designed so that it is self-explanatory in its operation and simple for anyone to use regardless of their educational background even the people that are not as technologically oriented should be able to use the system with much ease. Any technological device should be to facilitate certain aspects of life and not make matters more complicated.
