Abstract

We present an attendance management system where the student and the seat position are identified by IC cards of the FeliCa standard. Seated in a classroom, each student first touches his/her student ID card of the FeliCa standard with his/her own Android smartphone and then touches another FeliCa card fixed on the desk at his/her seat. Then the developed Android application software sends the student ID and the seat ID to the server. The developed service program produces the seating list with the student names mapped onto the seat map of the classroom. The seating list can be updated instantly as soon as the students touch the cards after getting seated or moving to other seats in the classroom. Looking at the seating list as a web page, the teacher can easily identify and call on each student. The seating list also helps the teacher spot a blank seat or a student missing, or equivalently, cheating in attendance.
