Abstract

Existing student attendance systems essentially use RFID system where the student attendance is recorded when students put their RFID card near to the reader. Although this system is more efficient than the traditional paper based attendance sheet, it is vulnerable to fraudulent. This is because the attendance of a student can be done by other colleagues. Therefore, a more secure attendance system is required. This project aims to design a prototype that records the student attendance securely and wirelessly. This attendance system ensures that only authentic students can record their attendance. The established yet reliable fingerprint identification and Zigbee technologies are the core of the system. The project consists of two parts that are a fingerprint wireless reader and an attendance Windows application. The operation of the fingerprint wireless reader is controlled by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that was developed. This GUI will identify the fingerprint image and convert the scanned fingerprint into data to be stored in the database. The fingerprint image data is then transferred to the computer wirelessly. In addition, the Windows application – developed using Visual Basic language – reads the transferred data and compares the fingerprint image and with the one stored in the database. It will then determine the attendance status of the student. An attendance report and analysis will also be prepared for this application. The prototype has been successfully designed and developed. Furthermore, performance evaluation shows that the prototype is able to function as desired. Future work is directed to the design of an optimum fingerprint algorithm and hardware, as well as the reliable fingerprint storage.
