IoT based real-time synchronized clock

Abstract

Maintaining the perfect timing is a necessity in every human life. We all are accustomed to clocks, both the analog and its digital counterpart. But, different clocks, even within the same geographical position, show different times. They are not synchronized. This problem of de-synchronization and all the trouble it causes has motivated us to look for a feasible solution. Keeping in mind the course of current technological progress, we have proposed an IoT based solution to the problem of de-synchronization. We have come up with a digital clock which is smart enough to update its time with the help of internet by fetching the time from NTP servers at a regular interval and displaying it. We describe, in this paper, our system, its methodology, hardware and software implementation, integration and synthesis of different components, its technical and financial aspects, and finally, the future works.
