Automatic Attendance Control System based on BLE Technology

摘要

As an emerging low power wireless technology, Bluetooth Low Energy lately has become an essential part of the Internet of Things world. Its pervasiveness has given the possibility for many different, otherwise manually driven, concepts to work in a different, enhanced, and more automated fashion. In this paper, we present an automatic attendance control system based on the interaction between a modified BLE iBeacon mechanism and users' smart devices. As such, the system can recognize users according to predefined profiles and eventually broadcast valuable information that corresponds to recognized profiles. The proof of concept shows that this is a promising approach regarding automating specific tasks, recognizing users and interacting with them less complexly.
