Abstract

Social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are important for people nowadays to do business, communications and also for entertainment purposes. Social media also have two kind of account which are private account and public account. Some users did not know that data from media social can be intergrate to WordPress website and it is a bit difficult to integrate them into WordPress, as we know that WordPress has different interface and style compared to usual website. Therefore, a plugin and themes were used to increase the usability, responsiveness and beautify the WordPress. To learn this usually takes time and need more workshops and costs to help user understand this. Through this development, our objective was to help user easily update their personal website using WordPress by only updating their social media account without any interaction with coding or source code for those who did not familiar with programming stuff.

Keywords: WordPress, integrate, entertainment, business, communications.

 

Introduction

The integration of social media content to website has been developed for many intentions such as for business, communications and entertainment. This integration help us to share updates, favourites, products and any other things directly to our own website. In other point, this could help the user that have lack knowledge of programming to easily updating their website from the social media. While integration of social media content on website has been widely used nowadays, our development made some innovation to this by creating a new function to integrate the data into WordPress.

WordPress is a open source and free Content Management System (CMS) that using PHP and MySQL as the source code. WordPress is installed on the web server, which is Internet hosting service or a network host. There are two type of wordpress which are WordPress.org and WordPress.com. The different between this two types is we can host our own website, download the software and install it on our own web server by using WordPress.org, while WordPress.com will take care everything for the user, no need to download, pay for hosting and manage the web server. [1]

WordPress has plugin, widgets and themes in order to increase the functionality and make the interface more interactive. It can be bit difficult for new user to understand it and usually takes time to mastered on it. By doing this development, this can help user to easily update their activities and works or business from their social media directly on their website by using WordPress platform.

In the social media statistics conducted on Americans in the year 2016, the most popular social media sites was Facebook (79%), followed by Instagram (32%) and Twitter (24%). [2] This show that these three sites were the common social media that has been used by the user.

Jurnal ini akan menerangkan bagaimana staff UTM dapat mengenal pasti tetamu yang datang tanpa membuka pintu terlebih dahulu. Kebiasaanya, staff UTM akan meminta tetamu mereka mengelurkan kad pengenalan pelajar/ staff sebelum berususan dengan mereka terlebih dahulu. Jadi, dengan adanya teknologi pengesan muka pada pintu, staff UTM akan mudah untuk mengetahui tetamu walaupun tetamu belum buka pintu terlebih dahulu. Kajian mendapati, setelah tetamu berada di hadapan pintu, Pi Kamera akan mengesan bentuk muka mereka terlebih dahulu. Kemudia, Raspberry Pi B+ akan mengesahkan tetamu dengan menggunakan data set di dalam system pangkalan data. Akhirnya, Raspberry Pi akan mendapat pemberitahuan daripada Telegram berkenaan tetamu tersebut

Pengenalan

Dunia sekarang yang dipangil dunia teknologi, semua negara berlumba-lumba untuk mencipta teknologi yang canggih dan moden. Tambhan pula, sekarang semua maklumat atau pekerjaan banyak mengunakan teknologi tidak kira di dalam mahupun di luar tempat kerja bagi memudahkan kerja tersebut mahupun menjimatkan masa.

Selain itu,manusia sekarang mementingkan perhubungan dan peranti pintar sudah menjadi suatu keperluan yang dikira sebagai penting pada hari ini, justeru ia dapat mengubahsuai hari seseorang yang ada sekarang agar lebih mudah dan menjimatkan tenaga dan masa mereka. Walaupun peranti pintar semakin maju dan berkembang pesat kita jangan ambli mudah terutama bahagian keselamatan dimana kita bercakap mengenai kunci pintu kita. Untuk menukar atau memodenkan apa-apa objek yang sedia ada ia perlu menghapuskan kelemahan yang ada dan menambah fungsi tambahan pada objek tersebut.

Kekurangan utama yang terdapat pada pintu biasa ialah sesiapa sahaja boleh masuk ataupun buka pintu konvensional dangan duplikasikan atau mencuri kunci, ia juga agak mustahil jika kita ingin kawan atau keluarga kita untuk masuk rumah tanpa memerlukan orang di dalam rumah. Oleh itu, bukan sahaja dapat menyelesaikan masalah tersebut bahkan ia dapat mengenalpasti seseorang tersebut. Jadi pada era ini telah datang di mana peranti boleh berinteraksi dengan penggunanaya dan pada masa yang sama memastikan keselamatan rumah mereka.

Konsep utama untuk mereka dan memodelkan akses ini sistem kawalan adalah pengetahuan tentang antaramuka seperti peranti pengkomputeran Pi Raspberry  yang digunakan dan disambungkan dengan pemandu yang berbeza bersama dengan pembangunan aplikasi untuk membangunkan desktop. Kamera yang berkualiti tinggi disambungkan dengan memaparkan menggunakan LCD. Dengan menangkap foto dan pemprosesan melalui pengesanan wajah keluar imej dan menghantar ke Data Set untuk pengesahan.

Satu kajian intensif terhadap platform openvc dan perpusatakaan telah dijalankan untuk menghasilkan kod, yang mana pengiktirafan muka yang betul dan boleh dipercayai dengan penggunaan perkakasan yang baru dan efisien. Ketika dunia sedang berkembang dengan pesat, manusia makin takut akan keselamatan, harta benda, maklumat dan diri mereka sendiri. Dengan model Pintu Pintar, impak yang mendalam dijangkakan pada industri keselamatan dan menjadikan ia berguna pada masa hadapan dalam kehidupan seharian. Model ini akan menjadi salah satu sumbangan yang besar dalam bidang keselamatan rumah ataupun  tempat kerja.
