The main goal of this project is to help people who lose their objects frequently and also to avoid stolen of object. Usually people get frustrated when they lose something such as wallets, keys, pen drives, laptop, etc. An object finder is capable of locating an object of interest in a 150 meters range. In this project we use android latest version 4.4 kitkat with Bluetooth low energy technology which having 4.0 version. Android powers hundreds of millions of mobile devices in more than 190 countries around the world. This project relates in general to systems and devices for enabling persons to easily locate and find lost or misplaced objects or items common to a household or office environment, and more particularly to a system utilizing a wireless transmitter (Android app) and plurality of wireless receiver (Bluetooth tag) attachable to objects or item needing to be located at various times. The object could be anything such as luggage, a car, a bicycle or even a person. We write code for android app in Eclipse Juno. Then the .apk file is installed in Smart Phone. The BLE 113 Bluetooth module is developed by Bluegiga technologies which is use in the tag. It will be programmed by smartbasic. There are two possible mode of project one is when user wants to find the object which having attached tag by using app then he have to open the app. Connect Bluetooth & transfer data to tag then tag will beep loudly. By hearing voice we can reach towards the object. So by using this we can find out our misplaced object. The another mode is when we activate the tag already by app and whenever the Smartphone is goes out of range then app will beep loudly by showing message you are not with your object. The first mode is explained in this paper. Our smart object finder is low cost effective. Because android is open source. So app is almost free of cost. Tag contains Bluetooth module with buzzer. CR2032 AAA size battery is required for supplying a tag.

Abstract
The main goal of this project is to help people who lose their objects frequently and also to avoid stolen of object. Usually people get frustrated when they lose something such as wallets, keys, pen drives, laptop, etc. An object finder is capable of locating an object of interest in a 150 meters range. In this project we use android latest version 4.4 kitkat with Bluetooth low energy technology which having 4.0 version. Android powers hundreds of millions of mobile devices in more than 190 countries around the world. This project relates in general to systems and devices for enabling persons to easily locate and find lost or misplaced objects or items common to a household or office environment, and more particularly to a system utilizing a wireless transmitter (Android app) and plurality of wireless receiver (Bluetooth tag) attachable to objects or item needing to be located at various times. The object could be anything such as luggage, a car, a bicycle or even a person. We write code for android app in Eclipse Juno. Then the .apk file is installed in Smart Phone. The BLE 113 Bluetooth module is developed by Bluegiga technologies which is use in the tag. It will be programmed by smartbasic.
