ABSTRACT
Nowadays mobile communication is a necessity as one of the ways of acquiring
information. All level of users, including higher education students have a mobile phone as one of
their communication device choice. This paper explores the adoption of SMS based system to
measure the usability and effectiveness of this broadcast communication option in disseminating
information among students and lecturers.
We examine its usability and effectiveness through sets of questionnaire. Result shows
that the propose prototype can be an option for managing and disseminating information.

Introduction
Project Context
Computer is indeed a powerful tool in the process of improving our nation. It contributes
to the dissemination of basic knowledge and necessary information that a certain individual
should know. Computer helps a lot in compiling data. The benefits of computer are more than
what we expect, they are able to provide and access information. This technology helped our
nation to speed up the growth of progress. Short Message Service (SMS) today is particularly
used by society to shout out their opinions or feelings.
The role of SMS nowadays is significant. Everybody now somehow depends and
succeed. It gives everybody full package of what they want to know and do. Some school use
SMS or texting to spread or to expand information everywhere. It is use to connect and update
people.
We chose this study because we care and we are honest that we can help them to give
information through SMS or texting.
A system that improves for faster viewing of information thru SMSnotification. It is one
way of modernizing the traditional of informing students account. The researcher will help the
operations and transactions of the cashier regarding student account records. It increases the
standard and services of the management and it will help the cashier and staff to develop their
transactions, operations, and receiving payments.
Purpose and Description of the Project
3. A system that notify their parents if the student pay their tuition fees or not.
4. To update the parents for announcement made by the school.
A subscriber
identity
module or subscriber
identification
module (SIM)
is
an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and
the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as
mobile phones and computers).

Review of Related Literature
Theoretical Background
Nowadays, most of mobile payment transactions are made through Short Message
Service (SMS). A number of SMS-based mobile payment protocols have been proposed but
ccccstill lack of necessary security properties. This paper introduces a new SMS-based operatorassisted mobile payment protocol called SOMP. The proposed protocol offers clients the ability to
perform payment transactions directly to the mobile operator itself or to merchants through the
mobile operator. We perform accountability analysis to show that SOMP satisfies necessary
security
properties.
Moreover,
SOMP
is
easy
to
use
and
compatible
with
existing SMS infrastructure. (Duangphasuk, S. Fac. of Inf. Sci. & Technol., Mahanakorn Univ. of
Technol., Bangkok, Thailand, Warasart, M. ; Kungpisdan, S.)
A secure network partially depends on user authentication and unfortunately
authentication schemes used at present are not utterly secure. Most of the systems today rely on
static passwords to verify the user's identity. This paper describes a method of implementing two
factor authentication using mobile phones. The proposed system involves using a mobile phone
as a software token for One Time Password generation. OTP algorithm powered with user's
unique identifications like International Mobile Equipment Identification and Subscriber
Identification Module; makes a finite alphanumeric token valid for a session and for a single use.
The generated One Time Password is valid for only a short user defined period of time and is
generated by factors that are unique to both, the user and the mobile device itself. Additionally,
an SMS-based mechanism is implemented as both a backup mechanism for retrieving the
password and as a possible mean of synchronization.

the strictest sense, a modem is a device that converts between analog signals, such as sound
waves, and digital signals, which are used by computers. However, the term has also come to
include devices that permit the transmission of entirely digital signals.
Cellular Phone-A portable telephone that uses wireless cellular technology to send and receive
phone signals. This technology works by dividing the Earth into small regions called cells. Within
each cell the wireless telephone signal goes over its assigned bandwidth to a cell tower, which
relays the signal to a telephone switching network, connecting the user to the desired party.
MySql-Font-MySQL-Front is a Windows front end for the MySQL database server. The database
structure and data can be handled via dialogs or SQL commands. Import and Export in standard
file formats is supported. The MySQL server can be connected directly or via HTTP tunneling.
Broadband - In telecommunications, broadband is wide bandwidth data transmission with an
ability to simultaneously transport multiple signals and traffic types. The medium can be coaxial
cable, optical fiber, twisted pair, DSL local telephone networks or wireless broadband. In
contrast,baseband describes a communication system in which information is transported across a
single channel.

System Architecture
Network Model
The network model is a database model conceived as a flexible way of representing
objects and their relationships. Its distinguishing feature is that the schema, viewed as a graph in
which object types are nodes and relationship types are arcs, is not restricted to being a hierarchy
or lattice.
Development
System Development
An information or evaluation system acquired today must not only satisfy present
business needs; it must also be flexible and capable of being enhanced to meet changing
circumstances well into the future. Thus a pre-requisite to the introduction of a new system is for
management to identify and understand their organizations mission and its related information
needs. Writing this down helps to ensure common understanding and direction, and provides a
yardstick against which achievement can be measured. A Student Account Monitoring System
Strategy is typically a high level management document. It serves to the people in information
needs, the student account information required to satisfy those needs, the skills and resources
required to develop and implement them, and the development timetable.

b. Back end- MySQL-Font is the back-end of the system which serves as the brain
of the developed application. It is a part of the system that is never visible to the
user.
Deployment diagram
It serves to model the hardware used in system implementation, the components deployed
on the hardware and the associations between those components deployed on the hardware and
the associations between those components.
Testing
Alpha Test- the researchers are performed through peer-to-peer testing in their respective
class. This testing is based on knowledge of the internal logic of an applications code.
Internal software and code working should be known for this type of testing. Tests are
based on coverage of code statements, branches, paths, conditions.
System/Beta Test- the researchers is performed with the present of capstone instructor.
Entire system is tested as per their requirements. It involves testing of a complete
application environment in a situation that mimics real-world use, such as interacting
with a database, using network communications, or interacting with other hardware,
application, or systems if appropriate.
Unit Testing
This phase deals with actual coding and building the system, First, is to develop system
in small programs, which are integrated with source to be best, to determine if they are it used to
be needed in the next phase. It is the implementation testing for the development of the system
for actual coding.
Integration Testing
The integration test is performed when all application modules are completed to ensure
that the system operates correctly together. In the system, it is used to see if the forms are
successfully linked with each other.
System Testing
System testing is performed when unit and integration testing are completed. It ensures
that all software and hardware components work together correctly. In the system, it will be done
to ensure that the whole software product performs its necessary function. After the software
product was developed, feedback from the selected respondents was gathered through the use of
questionnaire.
System Testing is the last type of testing but the most important one of all other test.
Before the system testing, unit and integration test are done so before the system testing. It is
expected that at this stage, minor errors have already been trapped and solved.
The end user must test all the modules if they are functioning correctly. The end user will
also check if the data from the computerized system are the same as the proposed system, and if
there are differences after two months of testing. If this situation occurs, manual system will be
discontinued.
Acceptance Testing
The researchers performed during the presentation of the system to the agency for
implementation. Normally this type of testing is done to verify if system meets the customer
specified requirements. User or Customer does this testing to determine whether to accept
application.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
This chapter discusses the presentations, analysis and interpretations of data gathered by
the researchers.
Statistical Treatment
Data were analyzed using simple frequency distribution table and comparison of
weighted mean in order to asses responses of respondents.
Data are gathered are tabulated, analyze and interpreted using formula below:
WM = 1(f) + 2 (f) + 3(f) + 4 (f) + (f)
