Internet of Things (IoT) involves connecting physical objects to the Internet, to provide opportunities to build smart systems or applications by leveraging Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), and universal mobile accessibility advanced technologies. In this paper, we propose an Internet-of-Things Based Smart Resource Management System. To further prove the concept, we implement a case study of Intelligent Chair system, where the chairs are connected to the internet. To be specific, the Intelligent Chair system includes an assembled Arduino system, which is responsible for scanning user ID, obtaining chair occupancy status, and then sending that information to the cloud server. The collected data stored on the cloud can be retrieved at anytime anywhere, and can be displayed on an Android application with authorized user. Additionally, the analyzed data can be used in various commercial/educational systems such as students attendance checking, tutor time tracking management, and dynamic ticketing system. Finally, the energy consumption of the Intelligent Chair system is tested and analyzed in this work.
