Abstract- This paper gives the implementation techniques of RFID, integrated with biometric sensor to improve the security
system. In this system we use both techniques for registering proper attendance of student. No one can do the proxy .In this
system we are replacing old paper base attendance system. Movements and increase their safety. In this we required
computer system. This computer system has dedicated “Visual Basic” based software to deal with different fingerprint and
RFID tags. Attendance will be stored daily according to time and date. when the data of RFID reader and Finger print
reader is matched then and then only the attendance will be registered

Keywords- RFID Reader, RFID tags, Fingerprint reader, visual basic software,RS232IC

I. INTRODUCTION a .RFID reader and tag

Basically of this system has three part one is RFID

system another is Fingerprint system and third one is
computer system which have been dadicated’visual
basic’ based software to deal with different
Fingerprint and RFID tags.

A. System Overview
The overall system design is shown in following

III. PRINCIPAl COMPONENT ANALYSIY

RFID reader is used to collect the data from tag and

send it to PC though serial port. Fingerprint reader is
also used to collect the from thum impression,
convert it into ASCII code and it to PC through serial
port communication for further process. In this
project we are using microcontroller(89c51)which is
more suitable for programming and connected to
LCD for displaying ‘Student attendance registered’.
Micro-controller is also connected to motor though
ULN. This ULN is consist of transistor pairs and is
used as switch for moter. motor shows Door on /off
working. PC is dedicated visual basic base software.
Following figure shows the component used in this
project

VI. SYSTEM FLOW OF MODULES

Figure6.Online system sample

An online user interface has been developed to ease

the management system to monitor the student
movement and to search the student data easily. The
technologies used to develop monitoring systems. We
found that by adding the second layer of
authentication to the system enhanced the security
level. Finally, based on the application scenario
proposed we develop a monitoring system and
discussed the flow of the overall system. The
application of this system will improve school
management procedure, monitor the interest group
movements automatically and increase assets security
