Android Device-Based Attendance System

An Android-based attendance system uses a smartphone or tablet to mark attendance using face recognition, fingerprint scanning, QR codes, or GPS location. It is a flexible, cost-effective, and mobile solution for schools, offices, and events.

Types of Android-Based Attendance Systems

1. Face Recognition – Uses the device’s camera to scan and verify faces (via OpenCV, TensorFlow, or DeepFace).
2. Fingerprint Scanner – Uses inbuilt biometric sensors (e.g., on Samsung, Pixel) or external USB scanners.
3. QR Code Scanner – Users scan a QR code from an ID card or mobile app.
4. GPS/Geofencing – Marks attendance based on location (useful for remote workers).
5. NFC/RFID – Employees tap an NFC card/tag on the device.

How It Works?

1. User Registration – Employees/students register via the app.
2. Authentication – The app scans the face, fingerprint, or QR code.
3. Attendance Logging – If verified, attendance is recorded.
4. Cloud Sync – Data is stored in a local database or cloud (Firebase, MySQL).
5. Report Generation – Admins can view attendance reports via the app or web.
