III. RESULT DISCUSSION
as the student presses the finger, module will
recognize the fingerprint and store the attendance To All sections of the system were tested starting
record on serial memory .All the attendance records with the administrative part of the attendance. At
will be stored in the memory. At the end of lecture start the student fingerprint, roll number and other
the microcontroller will send the attendance records bio data is stored into the database for student
to PC via ZIGBEEE based RF module. For registration. The subject code and lecture time are

The PC received the Fingerprint information attendance are enrolled. It fingerprints being
wirelessly from classroom unit from the student enrolled and same time databases is created as
compares it with the database of the students stored shown in Fig.4.
If entered finger is matched with previously stored database, the user is automatically recorded for that
particular lecture and message is displayed on LCD. as shown in fig6. Below
But if the user is not accepted for attendance then failure message, is displayed on LCD as shown in Fig7, This
process is repeated for all students present. Hence at the end of lecture, teacher can recognise how many
students are present and absent as shown in fig.7
The attendance record of one day dated 30th March 2015 for subject code 3 allocated to Operating system, which
is automatically available in excel format is as shown in fig.9 similarly attendance record on 12 th April 2015 is
as shown in fig.8 and 9.
From this record we can automatically get the attendance status of particular student as shown in fig.10.
Suppose we want to check the attendance status of roll no. 2, enter it and we automatically get its result that
he/she is defaulter or not and hence he/she is applicable for detention.
