 ABSTRACT

The development of a Fingerprint attandance system includes many different features

from as simple as keypad to as complex as using biometrics. The Fingerprint Access

System – Arduino Based is developed to overcome the issue of upgrading and

maintenance the system that occur in the existing system. This report discusses on the

door lock system using Arduino. Arduino is a type of microcontroller that uses its

own programming language. It has its own electronic prototyping platform to be used

during experiment. This project has features as inputs, which are fingerprint scanner.

Interfacing all inputs and outputs with Arduino produced accurate results in accessing

the door based on the accuracy results obtained by performing a test on five

individuals with four different fingerprints each person. This project is reliable as it

could increase the security level of door access system by implementing simple

approach as Arduino.

 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

In this Paper we are trying to solve the problems which occurs related to the security
in homes, shops and offices. These issues can be fixed by using fingerprint system
but here a possibility is may occurred of some unknown person. Using these
fingerprint also make problems if we forget password or pin. Again, using these
patterns in the fingerprint can improve security but again it can open and cracked if
somehow someone guesses the passwords or patterns are known. The pattern which
can or will used as key will be unique. Here, to implement this project successfully
we will use fingerprint as the key. This Arduino NANO project will make use of
different devices to the implementation of the advanced security lock where there are
different features to maximize the security levels

1.1 Background of Study

Fingerprint system is a type of control access system which control the system
to calculate attandences. It is a system that is implemented on a building to keep the
people and assets in the building to be safe from outsiders. The system is usually used
during the activity of people entering and exiting the building. The fingerprint system
helps to differentiate unauthorized and authorized people as the system only allows
the authorized person to enter the building

1.2 Problem Statement

Problem statements are the problems identified by There is a chance of misusing

the technology by placing a fake fingerprint. Beside that, Modules are sensitive
and they need to be handled carefully. which are:-

11
 1- Obsolete components The existence of new technologies comes from the
creation of new components. This fact shows that once the old devices are
obsolete, there are no spare components could replace it. Therefore new
system with new components has to be created.
2- Upgrading issues Most of control access system nowadays uses PIC [11,12].
It would be difficult with PIC because every time upgrading needs to be done,
the stand-alone PIC needs to be pulled out from the circuit and burned again.

3- Complicated programming Since most of control access system nowadays

uses PIC, many engineers will face difficulties if problem occur on the device.
The reason being is because PIC is not an open-source IDE compared to
Arduino. Therefore if problem occur, more time is needed for the engineers
to create new coding for the device.

1.3 Objectives

o This can be used in educational institutions.

o Biometric attendance system can be used in
industries.
o Biometrics can be used in ATM for authentication.
➢ Fingerprint authentication can be used in access control.
➢ Easy to use in dorm or cafeteria.

12
1.4 Scope

The scope of biometric authentication is not limited to only an employee

attendance but can be successfully utilized in all cases where some form of
recording of attendance is desirable and s required to be taken, such as student
class attendance. Beside that, with side sanitizer function are most important
thing to use and easy to get with the schematic base on programming data.

1.5 Significance of Project

The Fingerprint Attandance system Using Arduino is designed to be

technically feasible. It is designed to be simpler compared to the existing door
access system. Since most of buildings nowadays implement the use of
biometric system, this project is economically feasible as it can be marketed
around the world. It is also feasible within the scope and time frame because
Arduino is an open-source IDE which is suitable to be used within the time
frame which leads to less time consumption.

13
 CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

Biometric attandance system has been widely used around the world. It is a type of
security system that is created to help in securing people and assets in a building from
unwanted cases such as burglaries and kidnapping. To develop a biometic attandance
system, features or hardware such as keypad, biometric are implemented. Besides
hardware, software is also included in developing the biometic system as it helps in
interfacing the hardware and to have the desired system flow. Types of software or
programming language being used in this system are PIC language programming,
Microsoft Visual C++, Arduino and many more.

2.1 Introduction

In this project, fingerprint scanner are implemented in developing the

BIOMETRIC FINGERPRINT ATTANDANCE SYSTEM . The features were chosen because of its user-

friendly, smart and high security system compared to other features such as face-
verification, smart card and many more. Fingerprint scanner is a type of biometric
sensors whereby it senses the human fingerprint for identification. Biometric consist
of many types such as voice recognition, face recognition, fingerprint-recognition and
other identification that consist of human body parts.
2.2 Previous Research

Based on a journal written by Wheeler et.al. (2000) on face-verification system, this

system is time-consuming to build because the users need to have more than one
images to separate ID and non-ID images for identification data storage purposes.
Despite of its advantages of identifying intra and interdependencies, it is proven that
this system is inefficient because it took 6 seconds to make decision while the aim is
within 2 seconds

14
2.3 Summary
Well, not only are biometic fingerprint Attandance systems reliable and non-

intrusive, there is also no danger of leaving your fingers at home or at office.

Also, the fact that fingerprints are nearly always unique, makes fingerprint

system perfect with regards to security.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Introduction

4.2 Discussion

This IOT based Biometic Fingerprint using Arduino, we are showing the components
and connected them to the power supply. This system is based for improving the
security which will register the owner’s fingerprint into the Arduino using the
fingerprint sensor, and this system we have given 9v power supply to Arduino through
the code uploading wire. When you put your thumb on fingerprint sensor after
registering yourself the lock will be unlocked and you repeat this process again . The

22
process of access and unlocking requires less than 1 second so this is why the
biometric system is used inside this project.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Introduction

5.2 Conclusion

In this Paper, we have tried to solve the attandance matters in daily life at work or school by
bringing the conceptions of biometric fingerprint with the biometic attendance system. For that
purpose, we are using fingerprint as a rare key to implement device so as to access or unaccess
a fingerprint system. This project is going to implemented in multiple applications and this
concept is still in use in the banks but those systems are specially built for those organizations
to secure the whole organization and the assured will be very high and other companies and
houses.

5.3 Future Recommendations

For future work it is recommended to add another feature such as smart card or idriff to increase

the security level. fingerprint stores data such as name and ID of the owner and in future it can

be used to match the entered ID using keypad.

 27

5.3.1 Project Recommendations

Advancements in biometric identification management technology are moving so fast, In future we will

make advancement and multi functions like mesej alert if authorized person try to access. Image

reconizing process system and password system based. Also eyes retina for password which helps

authorized persons for authentication for entrance so biometric technology makes individual convenient

in real life.
