Android attendance management system based on bluetooth technology

To improve the performance of attendance management system, a new mobile phone application based on Bluetooth technology is designed in this dissertation. The principle idea is to use mobile phone’s Bluetooth address as the unique sign to recognize user and record their attendance information. The whole system can be divided into 3 parts. The first part is the Bluetooth Scanning Application. This App is to scan employees' Bluetooth devices regularly, get device address and transmit address information to server side. This Procedure is the core of attendance management. According to the result of scanning, server can make judgment of employees' state and generate the attendance table everyday. The second part is Manager’s Application, which provides a tool for manager to: check attendance status in time; edit employee's information; sending message to employees; publish events information. The third part is designing the website flt for administration. Manager can view each employee's attendance status and working time, decide fine and awards, arrange notice board. Also, employees can log in with their account to check their own attendance information,view company news and ask for leave. The test result shows that the speed and throughput of this system is working well and can be widely used in many companies and industries.Master of Science (Communications Engineering
