Mobile Biometric Attendence System
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryWe are living in 21st century with so many innovations making human life much better than ever, there is one thing that is still going on since years. It is “student attendance monitoring” in an educational institute. Even today most advanced colleges use attendance sheet printed on paper having names of students on left hand side and day-wise columns to make short mark. As soon as professor enter classroom he calls the names of students for attendance. Obviously there are many lacunae in it like some students missing to call or somebody wrongly or on purpose call for another student. And if anyone loses the attendance sheet a whole week's attendance data will be lost since there is no back up.
Fingerprint recognition is being extensively functional for individual proof of identity with the determination of high grade of safety and accurateness. It also decreases the human energy for attendance procedure.A huge quantity of processes for automatic fingerprint matching are used now days. Two given impressions are matched by a matching algorithm and return either a degree of similarity (also called matching score) or an acceptance/rejection decision. An enhanced attendance method is proposed to improve the efficiency.
Versatility is one noteworthy issue which decreases time in excess of an individual reach to gadget stamping participation one by one. This venture is to plan and builds up a dependable participation frameworks dependent on biometric unique mark ID used to screen participation. It additionally will kill the issues related with manual work related with paper based and punch card. It will assist personnel with taking the participation consequently without investing some energy amid the class. The frameworks will be created with expanded Web Interface incorporated with Fingerprint Module through Server. Whenever required, the gadget which is convenient and intelligently sends the unique finger impression id for check, which will confirm the unique finger impression structure database to good web application which will be utilized to play out the task consequently.
Project ObjectivesThe main objects of the project are as follow:
- Make the attendance process easier and effective.
- Help faculty in the attendance process every time.
- Mange and organize the attendance page through Web Interface.
- Eliminate buddy punching.
- Frequent Monitoring of Attendance anytime from anywhere using Web Interface.
- Portable hardware which is handy enough to carry.
Hardware Module:
Transformative prototyping can be communicated to as a method of programming improvement procedure in which an early model is set up and advanced through different game plan ultimately to the end whole structure. The motivation to creation the transformative prototyping methodology in this headway is for the reason that it consents the planner uninterruptedly getting responses and recommendations for system enhancements of the model that had been reachable to the customer until the finishing structure is spread. Transformative prototyping had contained of four stages which incorporates fundamental idea, structure and complete starter show, clean model, and pass on whole system.

Software Module:
The Development of the web interface will be done under the agile development methodologies. In the agile world is the notion of employing "user stories" which is a requirement lists. Which will be converted in the form of functionalities and code that causes the system to exhibit specific behaviors under certain conditions. So a translation needs to take place from a high-abstraction user story to the functional requirements.
Spry advancement, in its least unpredictable structure, offers a lightweight framework for helping gatherings, given a continually creating utilitarian and specific scene, keep up an accentuation on the quick movement of programming regard. On account of this inside, the upsides of flexible programming improvement are that affiliations are set up to do in a general sense decreasing the general danger related with programming progression.

Working:
The Project is expected as a Web based application and equipment gadget for stamping participation and thus is web application is bolstered on Web programs and Mobile gadgets. The Biometric Attendance System is being grown explicitly for Web programs and every single new form discharged after it that help responsive arrangement. Data will be sent utilizing ESP8266 Wi-Fi module (TCP/IP and the HTTP convention).
The Hardware device will mark the attendance with the recognition of fingerprint print and match the data with database and mark the attendance in the portal.
- Available hardware module.
- Good internet connectivity of hardware module.
INPUT AND OUTPUT PROCEDURE
- Input data consists of attendance updates, sign in details, applications, notifications, marking attendance by users to the server.
- Output data consists of updates from the server regarding attendance record view on overall attendance as well and attendance alerts.
SERVICES AND COMMUNICATIONS
The application will update all record in database from communication between hardware device and web interface.
The overall block diagram of the system is as follow:

This application is very beneficial for Educational Sectors because there are multiple class of students occur in a day and the data manipulation is more as compared to industrial or business sectors. The application is based on Student, teacher and Administrator. The Target audience is the Students and Teachers. Because this application is specifically for solving the problem faced by teachers during the class attendance.
The proposed structured of the unique mark participation framework settles the participation issues by the accompanying methods: no time squander as the participation is taken amid address without intercession of instructor, adaptability to utilize timetables of school, dealing with the participation is computerized, no way for phony participation stamping, assess dimension of participation for understudies consequently, demonstrate understudies' participation gives an account of web.
- This project will benefit educational institutional like universities and colleges to reduce the time and effort involve in the attendance process.
- The ‘buddy punching’ is also eradicated.
- Biometrics provide an extremely accurate, reliable and secure student monitoring solution.
- Improve student accountability for time management.
Biometric Attendance System is a standalone system which operates portably. With wireless communication 24/7 LAN connectivity. It consist of Identification mode of Fingerprint (built-In Module). With a display of LCD 20x4, it also allows a fingerprint updates. The Data communication between the device and server will be done through Wi-Fi module ESP 8266. The Software is also used which a web interface is used to display the record of attendance and to finalize the reports. The device uses a power voltage of 5V & 7V, the finger print verification is 1:1 and 1:N. The device operation mode is online. Its access control option will be given to the authorized user of an organization (Administrator). The Web interface provide the access to view, update or modify the attendance according to the authority given to the user. The Web Application will be developed with extended Web Interface by using Html, CSS, JQuery and ASP.net integrated with Hardware through Esp8266.
