Android Application for Attendance Monitoring System using Biometric Overview and Survey

Abstract

Managing the attendance of employees during work is a difficult task and it becomes more difficult during the report generation phase, because the process of marking attendance and maintaining the data is not automated and manual computation and calculation produces errors and wastes a lot of time. Queuing in front of the fingerprint scanner is tedious task and also the employees who work outside the office cannot mark their attendance. For this reason, the expansion of Attendance Monitoring System (AMS) using android is proposed so that employees can mark attendance through mobile, higher authorities can directly access the reports and monitor the system on their personal mobile anywhere. The system aims to improve the accuracy as compared to using paper-based approach. Moreover, the proposed technique provides an ease on touch way for generating reports, sending leave request, responding to leave request and marking attendance based on Global Position System (GPS) plus fingerprint.
