TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Technicality of the project

Monitoring student’s entry is one of the most vital function of the system, a simple

module but this will serve as the recognition of the students as he or she enters the school

by tapping his ID in the barcode scanner when his or her records were save, adding

students profile can help in recognizing the identity of each pupil and will be rest assured

that the flashes the screen is the students who enters the school. A short messaging

service is used as a communication tool to notify the parent.

Students Monitoring System using Barcode with SMS Notification serves as a

system that lessens the task of monitoring the entry of the pupil every day.

Details of Technology to be Used

Barcode Scanner is an electronic device that can read and output

printed barcodes to a computer. It is used to identify the student’s identity to monitor their

entry. Broadband or Global System for Mobile communication in telecommunications,

broadband is a wide bandwidth data transmission with an ability to simultaneously

transport multiple signals and traffic types. This is where the SIM inserted to send short

message service notification to parents/guardians.

C# (pronounced C sharp) is a programming software application that used for

developing the system for it is relatively easy to learn and use. Structured Query

Language Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables, columns, users) can

be performed via user interface, while you still have the ability to directly execute any SQL
statement. Subscriber Identity Module or SIM Card carrying is an identification number

unique to the owner, storing personal data, and where the system sends SMS notification.

Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service component of phone, to notify

the communication that sends from the systems. Computer is for the general purpose

device that will be used to carry out arithmetic or logical program.

How the Project Work

The project work in a computer with Microsoft Windows 7 professional or any

upgraded OS, with at least 1.6GHz or faster processor that can run the system at ease

period of time and running at 1024 x 768 or higher- resolution display.

First the Administrator, must log in to open the system and add the information of

enrolled students, name, parents name, parents mobile number then there will be a

generated barcode to use as an identification code when a student taps their ID to the

barcode scanner, after the records of the students has been save to the database.

The students may now use their ID with a uniquely generated barcode to the

barcode scanner to recognize the time in and out as the students enter and exit the

school. When the students put their thumb to the barcode scanner a message will be sent

to their parent’s mobile number that their son or daughter entered the school, second

attempt will be recorded as time out and a message will be send again to the parent’s

that their son or daughter left the school.
