Android Based Digital Attendance Recording System

ABSTRACT Attendance recording in educational institutions is an important task. But now a day's manual data entry procedures are used to take the attendance. Traditional ways of recording attendance involve manual entering of individual attendance on a sheet of paper. Later, these are fed into staff diary or computer database. It is still possible to access the data by unauthorized person after entering it into computer data base. In this paper we are focusing on developing this project, which will help the lecturers to take attendance easily, securely and will have less error. For this we are implementing android based software for digital attendance recording system at teacher's Android mobile phone and student's Android mobile phone. This system will helps lecturers to take attendance of the students using android mobile phone, by using Bluetooth device of mobile phone, those who are present in the class, whose attendance will be marked. After that captured data will be sent to server database from where attendance list will be updated automatically on the server's data base, lectures will able to edit the attendance and easily get requested information. Also student can able to view their attendance on website. Thus, the project will reduce the workload of lecturer by providing them the android technology based platform where they will be able to take, manage, update and see the attendance of students with efficiency.
