Todays world is based on the mercy of the internet. So all traditional spheres of our life are revolving around online world. With the advent of internet, we have it in our hands to check on our security measures with utmost ease, sharpness, speed and efficiency. Our said project focuses on the security systems implied in schools, specially kindergarten and primary classes to ensure school going kids are safe and sound at the school premises.
Objective: RFID based smart school security system is basically a tracking system or tracker which traces the unique Tag in the chip which is provided to the student and this ID is used to uniquely identify them. This tracker tracks the ID using radio frequency within a definite diameter. In this project, the RFID module reader typically contains a module (Transmitter & Receiver), a control unit and a coupling element (antenna). This module is interfaced with the microcontroller and when the card is brought near to the RFID module it reads the data in the card and display on LCD. If the data in the card is matched with the data in the program memory then it compares with that ID code and displays as ID FOUND along with his/her name on the LCD. After is a display it records the time at which the person has entered into the premises using REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC). If the data is not matched then it simply displays as ID NOT FOUND.

The tracker is usually installed in the smart phone of the class teacher as a built-in program. This unique RFID tag or ID is then stored in the SQLite file server. The tag is stored in the SQLite file server against a corresponding student_id which contains the information of individual student. The tag is stored as unique and authorized to every individual student in SQLite file server. This information is later on used to verify the identity of each student of the class and also in providing the overall class performance of a student in various fields. This can also be shown as a performance graph.

Technology Overview There are two main ways to integrate RFID with a wireless smartphone: A smartphone with RFID tags and a smartphone with an RFID reader. A smartphone with an RFID tag is a handheld device that can connect to GSM or another wireless phone network and has embedded or attached an RFID chip with some identification information programmed on it. Apart from the cell phone antenna used to connect to the wireless network operator, the device also contains an RF antenna to allow for communication with the RFID reader. When the smartphone with the RF tag and the RFID reader are within range they can communicate; the RFID tag information is sent to the reader and the reader can write some information back to the smartphones RFID tag. A smartphone with an RFID reader is a handheld device that can connect to the wireless phone network and contains an RFID reader that can collect data from various RFID tags. The smartphone should also include and RF antenna. In the typical RFID scenarios (e.g. in supply chain), the RFID reader is a fixed, static device while the RFID tags are mobile passing through the RFID readers active range. In this case though, the RFID reader is a mobile device that can collect info from mobile or fixed tags. The rest of the report focuses on smartphone technology that is integrated with RFID readers. Exhibit 1 shows the communication network among the different devices. The RFID Tag sends identification data using RF frequencies the RFID enabled cell phone transmits it over the GSM and phone network where it finally reaches the centralized management station. U*sing LAN technologies data is finally stored in the centralized database
Hardware Design The RFID reader should be closely integrated with the rest of the smartphone components. In terms of hardware, the RFID reader IC and the RF antenna should fit to the size of a handheld device. The power consumption of the reader should be kept in reasonable levels and the RF antenna should not interfere with the smartphone antenna or other devices.
Software Design The RFID enabled smartphone should include software that will be able reading and writing RFID tags. In addition, it should be easily integrated with call initiation or wireless data transmission so that data collected via the RFID reader can be transmitted over the wireless phone network to a centralized database. It may also require special provisions from the smartphone operating system, to generate alerts, SMS messages etc. Security is also a big concern that the RFID enabled smartphone should address through its software suite. The communication between the RFID tags and the RFID enabled smartphone should be secure. CryptoRF is a company that has developed technologies to address RF security issues using cryptography and authentication.
RFID BASED SMART SCHOOL SECURITY SYSTEM
Standards There are four frequency bands for RFID communications: Low Frequency, high frequency, ultra-high frequency and microwave. The appropriate frequency for the RFID enabled smartphone depends on the range required by the application for which it is going to be used. In the common case, high-frequency bands that allow communication in a few meters are expected to be appropriate for the RFID enabled smartphone. Different bodies specify the appropriate frequency ranges in different parts of the globe causing incompatibility issues between tags and RFID readers. For example, European standards bodies like ETSI have set different frequency requirements for RFID from USA for health and safety reasons. Hence it is harder for multinational firms to have a consistent infrastructure across the globe [1]. In order to address this issue, RFID-enabled smartphone manufacturers should support multiple standards. Apart from the frequency standards RFID enabled smartphone manufacturers should comply with RFID data standards. The EPCglobal industry consortium has released the Electronic Product Code (EPC) specification that describes the data stored in a tag [2]. ISO 14443 is another standard used for RFID communication.
Smartphone Technology:
A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability connectivity than a feature phone.[1] [2] [3] The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smartphones also include high-resolution touchscreens and web browsers that display standard web pages as well as mobile-optimized sites. High-speed data access is provided by Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. In recent years, the rapid development of mobile app markets and of mobile commerce have been drivers of smartphone adoption. The smartphone world is expanding at a rapid pace. There are already more than 1.08 billion smartphone users in the world, out of which, 91.4 million are from the United States.
Android:
2012 has arrived and the statistics show that smartphone usage and data consumption is only on the rise. The US remains the center of the Android market with the highest total Android smartphone user base and app download volume (50%+ market share), followed by South Korea (9% market share). But the largest markets do not display the highest Android app download activity as Sweden has the most active Android user base with each user downloading about 5 apps/month. Greater than 50% of the worlds total Android app downloads occur in the U.S. (3.49 billion), making it the largest market as of October 2011 in term so of Android user base and app downloads with South Korea (9%), the U.K., Germany and France next each exhibiting over 20mil downloads/month. In the month of October 2011 alone the U.S. market share of Android app downloads made up 42.3% (240mil apps) with the UK and Germany beating overall 2nd place South Korea for the month also at 39mil app downloads (6.8%) each. Android app users in the largest download markets are not the most active app downloaders per user as Sweden, a market with low Android smartphone penetration, has Android users with the most download per user at about 5 apps/user per month followed by the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain, all around 4 apps/user per month. The lowest Android app downloading markets were China, Japan and Russia, all less than one app/user per month on average, and the major markets averaged 2 to 3 app downloads/user per month. The report was able to extrapolate four Android app markets based on the frequency of app download/user per month: Markets with a Relatively High Growth Potential (high app downloads/user with low Android smartphone penetration) Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Czech Republic. Cash Cow Markets (high app downloads/user with high Android smartphone penetration) South Korea, U.K., Portugal, U.S., Norway, Denmark, Austria. Very High Growth/Resistant to Change (based on societal factors the market is oppose to change or can exhibit high growth) China, France, Russia, Poland. Highly Saturated Markets (low app downloads/user with very high Android smartphone penetration) Hungary, Finland, Japan. In October 2011 there were 46k+ Android apps, 21% are paid apps, added to the Android Market, with an average 11k apps released every week compared to the 7.5k released during the summer. Also, in October 2011 the average price for a paid Android app was US$3.06 and the prices ranged from US$0.99 to US$14.87.
While the latest versions of Android often provide great APIs for your app, you should continue to support older versions of Android until more devices get updated. This lesson shows you how to take advantage of the latest APIs while continuing to support older versions as well. This section provides data about the relative number of devices running a given version of the Android platform.

The best use of the people tracking system will be in jails. It becomes an easy tracking system to track their inmates. Many jails of different US states like Michigan, California, and Arizona are already using RFID-tracking systems to keep a close eye on jail inmates. Document tracking: This is most common problem. Availability of large amount of data and documents brings lots of problem in document management system. An RFID document-tracking system saves time and money by substantially reducing:
Time spent searching for lost document The financial and legal impact associated with losing documents.
Government Library: Many government libraries use barcode and electromagnetic strips to track various assets. RFID technology uses for reading these barcodes unlike the self-barcode reader RFID powered barcode reader can read multiple items simultaneously. This reduces queues and increases the number of customers using self-check, which in turn will reduce the staff necessary at the circulation desks. Healthcare: Patient safety is a big challenge of healthcare vertical. Reducing medication errors, meeting new standards, staff shortages, and reducing costs are the plus points of use of RFID solutions. RFID wristbands containing patient records and medication history address several of these concerns. Another key point to consider is that till now all the RFID based systems that are used in our country face the signal traffic congestion. When there is huge amount of signal to be processed, traffic jam can occur which block the whole process may shut down the system. We would try to overcome this drawback using effective algorithm.

As far as the smartphone use is concerned, RFID tracker is used to serve purposes such as opening or closing doors in corporate office, but a full-fledged application of this tracking technology to continuously track a specific individual chip and store the information about the location and using this information to generate a comparison graph are not in vogue. Our project covers all the above mentioned processes and features to provide a complete security package that provides ease and efficiency both.
