Unique Code Based Mobile Attendance System with An Emphasis on Fraud Prevention

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to address the three major problems existing in today's online attendance systems namely attendance record maintenance, fraud prevention and time efficiency. As a solution we have implemented a mobile based attendance tracking system that has a separate module for the teacher, student and an administrator. An emphasis has been given for fraud detection where a five-factor authentication system was implemented to ensure attendance record authenticity. The problem of time consumption and lack of efficiency has been addressed by implementing a strictly time constrained process with an efficient and user-friendly interface. This system incorporates insights from multiple rounds of user interviews along with insights from literature surveys and provides a thorough solution to address the problems mentioned.
