 INTRODUCTION

 The Application is a GPS service based application

which would help us in locating the exact geo-position
of people (any single entity of a large set) depending
upon their current location/whereabouts.
 Geo-position would be displayed on the map view on
our android set and display functioning can analogue
to the current usage of Google Maps.
 All user locations would be retrieved from an online
database so as to centrally control the permissions
for viewing.
 For restricting user access, user authentication would
be supported.
 All devices would be having a unique ID (UID) and this
would be used for searching for the user.
GPS(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)

 The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-

based radio navigation system owned by the United
States government and operated by the United States
Air Force.
 It is a global navigation satellite system that
provides geolocation and time information to a GPS
receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is
an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS
satellites.
 The GPS does not require the user to transmit any
data, and it operates independently of any telephonic
or internet reception
BASIC CONCEPT OF GPS
 The GPS concept is based on time and the known
position of GPS specialized satellites.
 The satellites carry very stable atomic clocks that are
synchronized with one another and with the ground
clocks.
 GPS satellites continuously transmit data about their
current time and position.
 A GPS receiver monitors multiple satellites and solves
equations to determine the precise position of the
receiver and its deviation from true time.
 At a minimum, four satellites must be in view of the
receiver for it to compute four unknown quantities
(three position coordinates and clock deviation from
satellite time).
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The application was installed on users mobile.

A unique user ID and location (GPS coordinate) was associated

with the application.

A time and attendance software was installed on workstation for

process the data receive from user mobile and store the
information (time, entry and leaving) to the Database.
System Architecture
 The schematic diagram of our location-based time and
attendance system is shown in Fig. 2.
 This system employs four hardware and software
components, described as follows.
1. The Smartphone is built-in with a GPS receiver, which can
receive radio signals from GPS satellites.
2. Google maps API (Application Programming Interface) is
used here for finding personal meaningful location.
3. Based on the GPS readings, the application can perform
geo-locationing to estimate the current location of the user.
3.Then the application sends the location
and user Id to Attendance Management
Software for further process.

4. After processing the data the

management software store the
information to Database.
Fig. 3 shows the flows of operation of Mobile application.

First, the application figure out the location using GPS. Then,
its check the location with pre stored (office/workspace)
location, if location matched then the application makes a
data packet containing user ID and location , encrypt them
and send it to the management system.

The flows of operation of the management software are:-

1) Receive data from Mobile application
2) Decrypts the data
3) Retrieve user ID from Database
4) User Identification
5) Store the information.

Attendance Management software.
 The software first receives the information from
the mobile application.
 Then its decrypt the information and check for
validation.
 After passing the validation steps it stores the
information to the database according to the
user ID.
V. CONCLUSION
 This system will provide an android based application
for attendance marking of employee's.
 The application offers user friendly, reliability, time
savings and easy control.
 It helps to identify the employees and provides way to
make entry of their presence in college.
 Records of attendance will be safe and updated.
 All attendance records can be easily accessed by
principal but securely by unauthorized user just
because of bio-metric authentication process.
