Mobile-Based Attendance Machine

A Mobile-Based Attendance Machine is an app that allows users to mark attendance using a smartphone or tablet instead of a traditional biometric device. It can utilize Face Recognition, Fingerprint Scanning, QR Codes, NFC, or GPS tracking to ensure secure and automated attendance logging.

Types of Mobile-Based Attendance Systems

* Face Recognition – Uses the phone’s camera to recognize faces (via AI models like OpenCV, DeepFace, or TensorFlow).
* Fingerprint Scanner – Uses inbuilt phone fingerprint sensors or external biometric readers.
* QR Code Scanner – Scans a QR code generated by the system or displayed on ID cards.
* GPS/Geofencing – Marks attendance based on the user's location (ideal for remote workers).
* NFC/RFID – Uses Near Field Communication (NFC) to mark attendance by tapping a card or tag.

How It Works?

1 User Registration – Employees/students register in the app with their credentials.
2 Authentication – The app verifies identity using Face ID, Fingerprint, QR, NFC, or GPS.
3 Attendance Logging – If verified, attendance is marked with a timestamp and location.
4 Data Storage & Syncing – Data is stored locally or in the cloud (Firebase, MySQL, Google Sheets).
5 Report Generation – Admins can access attendance records via mobile/web dashboards.

Key Features

✅ Contactless & Secure – Face recognition or QR codes prevent proxy attendance.
✅ Cloud Integration – Syncs attendance data with cloud databases.
✅ Offline Mode – Can store attendance data locally and sync later.
✅ Admin Dashboard – Web or mobile dashboard for real-time tracking.
✅ Automated Reports – Generate Excel/PDF reports for HR or payroll.
