Checking Class Attendance System Using wifi

Abstract

Recent advancements in wireless technologies have evolved the growth of smart systems in day to day life. Nowadays, people are using WiFi connectivity for accessing the Internet or local hub inside home or office. Localization mechanism over a WiFi network can cover a specific area so that any user connected to this a WiFi terminal can be identified. Covering this particular area is called geofencing as the connected devices to this specific WiFi terminal are workable if they exist within this covered range. Keeping this geofencing mechanism in our mind, we have developed a design and implemented a smart phone based checking system for monitoring class attendance through WiFi signal. Our system consists of three types of dedicated participants i.e. admin, teacher, and students. This system can identify a registered student whenever the student enters into the covered area and matching the BSSID or geofence and send a notification to server, At that current time student get notification and submit this then the attendance is marked. The teacher is responsible for controlling the system while conducting a class.
