Introduction Attendance Management System Using Fingerprint Scanner.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

This project is to design and develops a reliable tracking and recording systems based on biometric fingerprint identification used to monitor attendance. Biometric Access Control System also provides the highest level of security available today by eliminative the stolen, transferred and duplicating. It also will eliminate the problems related with manual work associated with paper based and punch card. The systems will be developed with extended GUI by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integrated with Microsoft Fingerprint Reader which stores the login names and passwords in an internal database located in the users computer. When needed, the device interactively sends the login names and passwords to compatible applications and websites which can be used to perform the login operation automatically. The device could be useful in an office or campus environment. This project is a combination of software and hardware. The project is to recognize fingerprint images and match within the database. The database need to be created and inside the database will contain information of the student likes the picture, name, matrix number and the course. In order creating the database, a programming codes is needed and the Microsoft Office Access is been used for this project. The second step for this project after finishing the database is to make a connection with the hardware. The hardware that represent here is the Fingerprint Images Scanner Device. The database system will utilize with the hardware together with a software development kit. The established connection between the database and device will make the project successful. The true work of the project is to match the information that store in database with the right fingerprint when the student using the device. This is means that for the first time, the student will be set to match with the right information of them in database. And the next time, the student used the device, its will automatically with the right information that been set earlier.
