Study Notes

Project Overview

Project title: "Tap, Touch, and Track: An IoT Integrated Student Attendance Monitoring System Using Biometrics and RFID Sensors"
Proponents: Anthony Josh Bautista and Andrei Dnalle Y.
Project duration: September 2024 - December 2024
Project adviser: Engr. Rendell Jason Lagman

Problem Statement

Traditional attendance methods (index cards, logbooks) are time-consuming and prone to errors.
Manual systems can lead to impersonation and forgery issues.
Lack of real-time tracking affects attendance accuracy.

Technological Solutions

RFID Technology: Utilizes radio waves for wireless data transmission through tags/cards, enhancing monitoring and tracking.
Biometric Security: Fingerprint scanning provides secure and user-friendly access.
ESP8266: Enables wireless communication and connects to an online database for real-time attendance management.

Research Objectives

Assess effectiveness of RFID for recording student attendance.
Create an integrated monitoring database using Google Sheets.
Implement biometric scanning for enhanced security.

Working Principles

Professor activates the system using a fingerprint scanner.
Students scan RFID key cards to record check-in times.
Attendance data is logged in Google Sheets.
Students check out by scanning their cards.
Daily reports of absences and tardiness are sent to the professor.

Key Features

Fingerprint Activation: Ensures only authorized professors can operate the system via the AS608 Fingerprint Reader Sensor.
LCD Display: Shows current time and instructions ("scan your cards here"); confirms successful attendance recording.
RFID Key Reader: Connects with the ESP8266 to wirelessly upload attendance data.
3D Printed Case: Custom-designed case for component housing, providing a sleek appearance while meeting specifications.

Additional Information

Prerequisites may include relevant courses, programming skills, and both soft and hard skills for successful implementation.
Checklist for research cluster evaluation ensures alignment with research scope and objectives.
