Student Attendance Management System with Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and Android Devices

Abstract

An attendance management system is developed such that the students present in the class can register their attendance by scanning their student ID cards over not only the teacher's terminal device but also their own personal Android devices. This system solves the problem with the conventional system that it took a long time for all the students to scan their cards by a single terminal device. In order to spoil cheating students who try to resister their attendance illegally from outside the classroom, we employ a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacon device to transmit a magic number necessary for proper registration within the classroom.
