STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

The development of a Student Log Monitoring System based on Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID) technology. The existing student log monitoring system requires students

to be manually monitored by the guards at the gate every time they arrived and specially when

they are leaving the campus. As common as it seems, such system lacks of automation, where a

number of problems may arise, this include the time unnecessarily consumed by the students as

they are being monitored by the guards and checked their identification cards with printed

schedules. Having a system that can automatically capture student's log by flashing their student

card at the RFID reader can really save all the records.

Description of the Study

Daily log of students is one approach of the school to know if the student entering in the

school premises or leaving. In addition, the paper method required a data entry phase in order to

generate reports, which also suffered from similar problems. Therefore, using pen and paper was

ruled out from the beginning. That is why the proponents have come up to this project based on

RFID, which is being displayed every time they time in and out of the school.
13

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

The study will provide a RFID card for the students that they will use every time they

time in and time out of the campus. They will need to tap their card to RFID scanner and that is

provided in order to confirm their identity. With this approach, the admin can monitor the log of

the students without the hassle of manually looking to the log books.

Goals and Objectives

Goals

The main goals of the study will be used to maintain a daily record of a student’s entering

and leaving the campus by automating the recording of date and time of their entry and exit. The

study will greatly contribute in implementing security for the assurance of the parents who

cannot monitor their children in school.

Objectives

The proponents set the main goal of the study to identify the record of time in and time

out of each student in the campus and provide a notification for their parent/guardian for

complacency purpose and also to provide a fast and effective way of monitoring student’s

presence through RFID Technology and provide a reliable source of students log report and a

security of each students.

Significance of the Study

Student log monitoring system helps to monitor the arrival and departure of each student

in school, it would also help to identify the activity log of each student once they entering or
14

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

leaving in the campus and by these it would be a great contribution in terms of students’ security

matters because it provides a SMS notification to their guardians/parents.

Student - The RFID Tags in their School ID will help the students to record their daily log at

campus in an ease period of time.

Parents/Guardians- In terms of the parent’s complacency, notification through

Short messaging Service is made for them to know whether their children were entering and

leaving the campus.

Admin - The principal can easily monitor the students log and if there is an incident report of a

missing student, they can easily track and print a report.

Future Researcher – In future researcher this will be serve as basis or reference to the future

researchers whose studies are related to the system

Conceptual Framework

In this study figure 1 shows the process of the proposed system “Student Log Monitoring

System with Short Message Service using Radio Frequency Identification for Colegio De San

Pedro”. First, the person-in-charge needs to enter the student information such as name, student

id, and grade level. The student information will be recorded or updated with the current records

if there is a sudden change in the existing information for the reliability of the records. Then the

system will gather the logs of the students once they tap their id to the RFID reader when they

arrived or exit the campus and the system will send a short message notification to their
15

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

perspective parents or guardians to give them track of their pupil. The principal can easily

monitor the log of students who entered and leaved the campus.

Figure 1: Research Paradigm

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Scope and Limitation

Scope

The study provides a student log monitoring with short message using a technology such

as radio frequency identification for the automated log of students in Colegio de San Pedro and

generate a printed report. The study helps guardians/parents to give them track of their child

when they have already arrived and left the campus.

Limitation

In this study, college students, faculty, employee and visitors are not part of the user and

it is for limited for elementary to senior high school students, it cannot be used as a student’s

attendance for each subject; it is used only for monitoring the students who entered and left the

school premises. The system is not responsible for the security once the student’s left in the

school. The user mentioned above are exempted because they can free roam inside and out of the

campus. Employees of the school are using a biometric technology to record their attendance/log

to the school.

Definition of Terminologies

For further understanding of the study, the proponents include the technical terminology

and operational terminology that would help the future researchers to fully understand the

current system research.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES, STUDIES AND SYSTEMS

Related Literatures

Foreign

Barwuah & Ley (1997), found that one of the other participating colleges gave complete

commitment to a swipe card registration system, only to later discontinue it. In summer 10 the

entire college site was wired with readers and through 1990-1991 a pilot scheme ran on six

courses. This was reasonably effective, mainly because everyone knew it was a pilot and so staff

and students were vigilant about rooking it. Full implementation was introduced in 1999.

However, since this was a response to a need for careful monitoring following financial

difficulty it was not a strategically panned process. The swipe system was relatively primitive:

‘dumb’ readers which simply displayed a red light when a swipe was done. Cards were very

basic Lectures had to swipe two cards to identify themselves and the module or class they were

teaching. Students were required to make a single swipe.

Nainan & Parekh (2013), found that the implementation of RFID technology has

definitely quickened the entire of process or recording attendance. The traditional method of

recording attendance involves individual manual entry; an arduous and a time-consuming


19

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

process. On average, based on experiment the total time taken to record the attendance of a class

of 60 students by manual entry method took approximately 10 minutes.

Shinghai (2012), found that a RFID tag type of ID Card make the process of taking the

attendance easier, faster and secure as compared to conventional method. Students or workers

only need to place their ID card on the reader and their attendance will be taken immediately.

With real time clock capability of the system, attendance taken will be more accurate since the

time for the attendance taken will be recorded.

Local

Dellosa & Hemedes (2014), found that the RFID system involves an RFID tag, an RFID

reader and a database. A reader scans the tag with the use of computer program and transmits the

information to the computer. The captured information will be processed for intended use.

Wireless transmission of identification data rather than by manual transcription increases the

quality and speed of data transmission and reception. Presently the library of Lyceum of the

Philippines Laguna is using a traditional system wherein students and employees will have to

write their names in the log sheet for their attendance in the library. The application of radio

frequency identification would be a good solution

Mr. Mojares (n.d), found that in the advent of technology, communication becomes faster

and easier in tap of a fingertip. In an academic institution parse, communication between parents

and school is very challenging and important one. It needs to full effort to understand one
20

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

another. One of the worries of the parents is that if their children are really attending or not in the

schooling during their class period.

Alvarez (2015), found that the project was designed using RFID reader for the scanning

of RFID tags, RS 232 to TTL converter to convert the data coming from the reader. A visual

basic programming software was used for the program and Microsoft Access for the database.

All the readers were connected by a local area network.

Related Studies

Foreign

Mr. Patel (2012), found that recording and monitoring of class attendance is an area of

administration that can require significant amounts of time and effort in a school/university

environment, largely due to the amount of time required in lectures to get the necessary

information. This paper presents the integration of ubiquitous computing systems into classroom

for managing the students’ attendance using RFID technology. RFID technology can be a

powerful tool in helping to manage student’s attendance throughout the working school day and

also enhance classroom security. RFID technology has been applied to solve problems where it

is necessary to take automatically record the movements and locations of students in a classroom

of school/university environment.

Olaleye & Olaniyan (2013), found that this study has successfully designed and

developed an enterprise class mass SMS mailing system that support multiple users as well as
21

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

multiple SMS gateways, providing a unified interface and common set of features across many

SMS gateways which prevent vendor lock-in as users can choose among multiple SMS vendor

gateways.

Ahmad & Abbas (2015), found that in this study, they have proposed a push-based SMS

sending approach by GSM cellular network to remote monitoring of attendance of student based

on RFID. It is much faster and it has two components i.e. RFID tag and RFID reader.

Local

Morallo (2015), found that this study was developed to create an electronic attendance

and logging system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Short Messaging Service

(SMS) with a Web-based management system portal that allows user to access real time data to

ensure campus security and smart information management. The students will use RFID card

system to check in and out of the main entrance, to both track attendance and log time and

prevent unauthorized entrance therefore utilize the RFID technology.

Claro & Libron (2013), Found that at this case, they are having problem of sending their

reports on time due to this. It took them two months to submit their reports to Manila branch.

Due to these problems, the proponents were challenged to develop their Records Management

System and Online Inquiry.

Galicia & Co (2011), Found that this study aimed to develop a system that would monitor

the vehicle entry to Letran Calamba campus using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Technology. This project uses a gate barrier that would hinder the entering of vehicles in the
22

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

colegio’s vehicle main gate for inspection and verification of RFID card. It opens if the vehicle

owner has a valid RFID card to be read within the reader zone and displays the vehicle and

owner information on the monitor as well as the date and time of the current log-in.

Systems Review

In figure 2 shows the same process of the study which is the students once tap their RFID

Card into RFID Reader the system will process to displayed their time in/time out then system

will send a message to the guardian of the students to know if their children entering in the

school premises or leaving.

In figure 3 shows the output of the study, the system is achieving two aims, the first

objective is to register, record, and manage a student attendance using RFID tag, and the second

aim is to provide student information service such as name, grade level, time-in/time-out and

student-related data that displayed in screen or LCD.

In figure 4 shows the process how to input the information of student and to provide a

reliable, secure, and efficient method of tracking the students’ arrival and departure from

school, Through SMS (Short Message Service) it can be easy to notify their parents or

guardians whenever they arrived or left the school premises. This idea when implemented
24

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

would also innovate the school in terms of modern technology; the management can easily

access the student’s individual information through their identification cards, and can

monitor their time in and out, to be saved in their individual records.

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Synthesis

As stated in the foreign and local literature about in web-based system, the gathered

literary works and studies were carefully checked by the proponents to see its relevance to the

study. The related literature acquired by the proponents aided them in gaining more information

and ideas with relevance to the ongoing development of the attendance monitoring system.

Local and foreign studies helped the proponents to see and proved that the study was vital

to the client’s needs. All the studies gathered shows the probable and possible benefits and

advantages of the proposed system. The proponents learned that automating the process will

greatly enhance record management that will reduce the difficulty of manual computing, with the

use of the RFID technology, monitoring the time-in and time-out of the students will be easy.

With the help of an automated system with a database, achieving the said goals will be easy.

Similarly, making the overload computation in the proposed system automatic will greatly

reduce the time it takes to produce an output. The study also gives great importance to retrieval

of records. While the main focus of the proposed system of the proponents is the attendance

monitoring that will total the number of hours every day or week, other previous studies focused

only on other aspects of the system like record management and monitoring. Other system

provides only information system that will serve as a storage of data for the institution just to

monitor the data. Some system used notification like SMS that helps to disseminate information.

Also, in the system, it will handle the basic information.

METHODOLOGY

System Development Life Cycle

The proponents will use the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) such as planning,

analysis, design, development, testing, implementation and maintenance to produce a high-

quality web based that meets or exceeds user expectations, reaches completion within times. The

planning phase is a set of plans to help guide your team through the execution and closure phases

of the project. The analysis phase is part of the project where you identify the overall direction

that the project will take through the creation of the project strategy documents. The design

phase seeks to develop detailed specifications that emphasize the physical solution to the user’s

information technology needs. The development phase elaborates and builds on the learning

objectives and performance steps that were produces in the design phase by fleshing out all the

previous content that was created in the prior two phases, analysis and design, into a complete

learning environment. The testing phase is where you focus on investigation and discovery.

During the testing phase, developers find out whether their code and programming work

according to customer requirements. The implementation phase is where the automated

system/application or other IT solution is moved from development status to production status.

The maintenance phase involves making changes to hardware, software, and documentation to

support its operational effectiveness.


27

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Planning Phase

The proponents produced a web-based system using RFID card for students and conduct

a consultation meeting to the advisor for the documentation and development of the system and

from all this information, better understanding of the existing system’s problems will be gained.

Analysis Phase

After collecting all the needed requirements from the organization and the hard time for

planning what the system would be. The proponents will spend time for brainstorming session to

get idea on how to start, to create the proposed system.
