ABSTRACT

The system entitled Student Log Monitoring System with SMS notification

using RFID for Colegio De San Pedro. The existing traditional requires students to be

manually monitored by the guards at the gate every time they arrived and left the campus.

Collecting students log by using the developed system can help the school to monitor the

student’s activity log inside the campus. Student parents will be notified by sending a

Short Message from the school when the students arrived and left the school. Parents or

guardians is one of the beneficiaries of developed system because they can monitor too

their child even they are not around at the campus. The developed system is using the

technology Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) helps to fasten the process of

collecting data or logs of the students. The developed system can issue a printed report if

necessary.

The developed system platform is web based, the coverage of the system is from

Kinder 1 to Senior High School Students. Guards will monitor the ins and outs of every

student, Admin is in charge of the main functionalities of the system, gathering of data

and information from the students. The last chapter of this paper discussed the setting of

the study, its population and environment where we conducted some tests to identify the

functionality and the usability of the proposed system.

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 enter or

leave the school premises. 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 students 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 leaving in the campus and by these it would be a great contribution in terms
 14

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

of students’ security matters because it provides a SMS notification to their

guardians/parents anywhere they are.

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 – To 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 perspective parents or guardians to give
 15

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

them track of their pupil. The principal can easily monitor the log of students who entered

and leaved the campus.

Figure 1: Research Paradigm

 16

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 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 the school. The users mentioned above are exempted because they can

free to 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.

 17

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Technical Terminology

HTML – (Hyper Text Markup Language) a standardized system for tagging text files to

achieve font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide pages.

RFID - (Radio Frequency Identification) identification uses electromagnetic fields to

automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically

stored information.

RS 232A – is a serial port that personal computers used them for connections not only to

modems, but also to printers, mice, data storage, uninterruptible power supplies, and

other peripheral devices.

TTL converter- are a range of USB to serial converter cables which provide

connectivity between USB and serial UART interfaces

Operational Terminology

Moderator – a person in the first-line who monitors and maintained the system

functionality.

Students – a student or pupil is a learner or someone who attends an educational

institution.

Admin – a person who is allowed to access the system database and records.

Parents / Guardian- a person who received a SMS Notification from the school.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES, STUDIES AND SYSTEMS

Related Literatures

Foreign

According to Barwuah & Ley (1997), 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 process. On average, based on experiment the total time taken to record the
 19

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

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), stated 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

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
 20

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

to understand one 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

Patel (2012), stated 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.
 21

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

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

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

well as 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.

 22

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Galicia & Co (2011), 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 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 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 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.

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
 26

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

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.

 28

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.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary

After the survey conducted, the proponents got the results on how the IT experts
and User able to access the system based on the different criteria of the survey. The
functionality characteristics Overall weighted mean (WM) 3.04 “good” for IT Experts
while the Overall Weighted Mean (WM) 3.32 “good” for Users. The Reliability
Characteristics Overall Weighted Mean (WM) 2.87 “good” for IT Experts and while the
Users of Reliability Characteristics got Overall Weighted Mean (WM) 3.16 “good”. The
Usability Characteristics got the Overall Weighted Mean (WM) 3.64 “very good” for IT
Experts. While the Overall Weighted Mean (WM) of Users got 3.47 “good “. The
Efficiency Characteristics Overall weighted (WM) 2.77 “good” for the IT Experts while
the Overall Weighted Mean (WM) 3.40 “good” for the Users. The Maintainability
Characteristics Overall Weighted Mean (WM) of IT Experts got 2.95 “good” while the
Users Overall Weighted Mean (WM) got 3.29 “good”. The Portability Characteristics
Overall Weighted Mean (WM) got 3.18 “good “for the IT Experts while the Overall
Weighted Mean (WM) got 3.44 “good” for the Users. The proponents got the total
Weighted Mean of IT Experts and Users, for the IT Experts 3.07 “good” for the Users
3.35 “good”.

Conclusion

The reliability and the maintainability of the system got the lowest mean from the
IT experts based on the results of the survey. The reliability characteristics of the system
got 3.16 (Good) and the maintainability characteristics got 3.29 (Good). The results
showed that the system occur problems and can’t access functionally. The result also
showed that the system can’t easily update can’t easily allow modification and expansion
of the system.
 60

STUDENT LOG MONITORING SYSTEM WITH SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Recommendation

For future researchers, the proponents recommend to the study how to include all
the college students to the current system and study how to upgrade the current system to
a future attendance monitoring system because the system is focusing only in student’s
activity log inside the campus. Commented [N1]: This should be based on the conclusion. You
can make 2 for IT and 2 for Users
