An Automated and Full-Proof Attendance Marking Scheme (TATTEND) Using Three Integrated Technologies

It is an established fact that we are facing difficulties in the attendance management. Presently the attendance in most of the organizations is marked manually on paper which is an error-prone process. Specifically, in educational institutions, a significant amount of time of both students and staff is wasted while marking the attendance manually. Further, there are additional malpractices like proxy and bunking which make this system flawed. To counter these problems, we propose a system TATTEND which achieves full transparency and it maintains the regular and accurate updating of the attendance in the database. The three technologies have been integrated to achieve a full-proof system for effective attendance marking. The concept is innovative and a fully automated one. The three technologies include the use of RFID, IR Motion Sensor and an Electronic Deadbolt.
