Smart Classroom Attendance System, Biometric Authentication, Location-Based Verification, Automated Attendance Management, Proxy Attendance PreventionAbstract
The Smart Classroom Attendance System using Biometric and Location-Based Automation is designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of attendance management in educational institutions. Traditional attendance methods, such as manual roll calls and paper registers, are time-consuming and prone to errors or proxy attendance. This system uses biometric technology, such as fingerprint or face recognition, to uniquely identify students and ensure that only authorized individuals can mark their attendance.
In addition to biometric authentication, the system incorporates location-based verification using technologies like GPS or Wi-Fi to confirm that the student is physically present inside the classroom. The system automatically checks the student's location and compares it with the predefined classroom location. If both biometric and location verification are successful, the attendance is recorded in the database along with the date and time, ensuring reliable and tamper-proof records
