TOOL FOR AUTOMATICALLY CHECKING ATTENDANCE OF STUDENT IN CLASSROOM

We design and use a software tool capable of automatically checking the attendance of an enrolled student by using a smartphone. The student needs to install the application on his/her smartphone. The challenging issue of the software tool is that we need to automatically find out if a student is inside or outside the classroom. For this purpose, the application of the smartphone of the student will measure the current signal strength of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices near the classroom. The measurement results are reported to a server running software to check the attendance of the student. The server can analyze the signal strengths to determine whether the student is inside or outside the classroom. A comprehensive measurement of the strength of WiFi and Bluetooth signals shows that WiFi scanning of the smartphone consumes more energy than BLE scanning. Also, the received signal of a Wi-Fi beacon can change dynamically due to interference and fading. In other words, we are not able to find ...
