DEVELOPMENT OF A PORTABLE FINGERPRINT ATTENDANCE SYSTEM FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENT

As a partial fulfillment of Final Year Project, the main aim of this project is to develop an accurate, fast and very efficient portable attendance system using fingerprint verification technique. This portable fingerprint attendance management system is specially designed and implemented for university student. This system is based on biometrics, software and database technique to solve the problem of spurious attendance and any else made by the students and others. The current product of fingerprint attendance systems offers minimal, nonflexible and costly system. With an increasing awareness of efficiency of fingerprint attendance system, the implementation of portable fingerprint attendance system has gain interest. The implementation is achieved using a combination of hardware and software development. A Motorola handphone model Atrix 4G is being used as a hardware device while software development is based on the Android operating system. Software called Eclipse is used for the development of android application which based on the Java script language. In this paper, the result of the system were shown sequentially, demonstrating that the system able to run safely and efficient in any real-time conditions.
