Motivation
3
Taking attendance in large classes is
cumbersome
repetitive
Consumes valuable class time

Universality of mobile phones motivates to make
better use of this technology.

Objectives
4
Automating user identification via Bluetooth protocol.

Develop and Implement attendance system .

Create an android mobile application to provide a
consistent UI to interact with the system.

Interesting Decisions
15
Points of Discussion
16
Proxy Attendance
Persistent problem that needs to be addressed
Need a robust solution
Present Ideas:
Random checks by professor.
Manual verification of headcount.
Points of Discussion
17
Creation of simple app to authenticate student

E.g. Entering a password for verification
Does not solve proxy problem
Can cause distraction during class

Ease of Use on Mobile
Application
18
Mobile app to have features for enabling plugins.

Some examples of plugins are:
Automatically take attendance as per schedule.
Proxy attendance based (discussed earlier).
Database Features
19
Integration with Kerberos Authentication.
Providing secure and encrypted access to the
database.
Automated Initialization of the database for courses.
Permission Centric model with different privileges to
each kind of user.
Provision of administrative users to police entire
setup.

Delay in procuring android phone.
Procured two weeks before semester started.
Rescheduled plan accordingly.

Unable to access database from entire campus
network
Solved by setting up database on

Create list of people
who can edit the
attendance logs of
one person. [tas ,
profs, course
coordinator]
Very Rigorous.
Pretty Cumbersome.

Create list of
privileged people for
each course.
Each of these people
can edit attendance of
any attendee.
Less rigorous.
More Flexible and
very practical

LDAP Integration - Leaks
44
Only course coordinator in LDAP
Other profs have to manually registered for each
course with super privileges.
TAs are not available in LDAP.
Any super of the course can manually add TAs
Initialization Of Database On App
45
Relevant Data is sent over to the app on
initialization.
Codes:
CA: Course Add
CD: Course Delete
SA : Student Add
SM : Student Modify
SD : Student Delete
SP: Student Proxy

Networking : Server <-> App
46
Transaction Of Attendance Logs
Transaction Of Updated Mac Addresses
Transaction Of Proxy Attendance
JSON encoding is used for transaction of strings.
Network Security
47
Web server uses https(128 bit encryption) for all
communications
Web site
Android app
Installation of website certificate is integrated with
the app installation (automatic).

Next Actions
48
How to get MAC addresses?
49
Proposed Solutions:
Direct Input from user
User looks up bluetooth MAC address and enters into
profile via webpage
Different Procedures as per manufacturer of the phone
Windows Program
Design of windows program
Display a list of Bluetooth Connections in range and
corresponding MAC addresses.
Experimentation
50
Run experiment in Labs
Short circuits:
User registration
Course Attendees Lookup
Data to be recorded:
Number of people present.
Number of people found to be present.
Maximum distance to which a person was
registered present.
Number of people in proximity but not marked
present.
Open Questions
51
How to find maximum number of connections that
can be identified by a mobile phone?

Meeting
60
Adhoc meetings:
Create meeting on the spot
On the spot querying of web server may be
required.

Preplanned meetings:
Send invitations via web interface.
Relevant entries can be synced in advance.

Desktop Application
61
Need : Register students mac-address.
Requirements:
Portable and easy to run.
Independent of bluetooth stack.
Does not allow mac address sharing
Kerberos Authentication
Implementation:
Uses Bluetooth stack provided by python-bluez

Experiment
62
Maximum range till which a person may be
identified?
Maximum number of people that can be
identified?
Are we missing out any people in the vicinity?
How much battery is consumed?
How much time is needed to find n people?
How much time should the application run?
Maximum Range
63
Without any obstructions:54 m
With one wall in the middle: 12m outside wall
Battery Consumed

Number of people
Running time of app?
66
Keep a count of number of people found in
previous 40 seconds.
Stop when count==0

Next steps
67
Store photographs of students in the android
database.
Add proxy catching heuristics to code
Randomly display names of present people
Add scheduling functionality to the app so that it
can run on itself as per a timetable.
Stress testing , checking for any open loops.
Thank you
