Based on proper management and security purposes,
authorities of various institutions use different methods to control access.
The system they are using to achieve this may be different. But there are some
instances where we want to verify the identity of a user very accurately. One
example is examinations. Examinations are conducted in various educational
institutions such as schools, universities, etc. The basic process of exams is
issuing admissions for the registered candidates before the exam. At the exam,
candidates can use admissions to show permission to seat in the exam. Most of
the time, what the invigilators do is, check the admissions and IDs of
candidates while conducting the exam and keeping a record of attendance.
Examinations are for the assessment of a person. Depending on various reasons,
people are cheating on exams. For a year, there are a considerable number of
cases that report violating rules in exams. One of the common violations is
seating for exams instead of someone else. What we identified as problems here
are as follows.
It costs time to manually check and verify users accurately.
Violating rules by unauthorized access can be preventable.
Keeping records of attendance and storing data can be done
more efficiently.
So, the motivation of our project is to design a system that
can verify the identity of a person/user who registered for the
examination/event, keep a record of their presence/attendance, and provide the
administration of relevant institutions with manageable records. The system
could be used for any institution where they need to have authorized people to
enter/access premises.
ACCOL | Anywhere is a system that gets the presence of a person using a fingerprint scanner (including a keypad and a display screen) and a drop arm gate that opens for a correctly verified fingerprint. The system is connected with the management system of the institution. The administration of the institution can view and handle data there. The registered users can use the fingerprint scanner. If the fingerprint scanner cannot detect the fingerprint correctly, the user can use the keypad to get permission for the entrance. The registration number will be the key to marking attendance. After scanning the fingerprint or giving the key, the display screen will display the relevant details of the user. Then, the gate will open for some time for the user to pass through the gate. Before and after passing the gate, the laser sensors will detect whether the user passes the gate. So, with this process, the administration of the institution can see the record of the entrance of the verified user from the website. So, the system provides a solution for the above problem by reducing the time spent on the process and accurately verifying whether a person is registered.

A fingerprint module is a device that captures and processes
fingerprint data to verify an individual's identity (User Authentication). R037
Fingerprint module captures an image of fingerprint data and sends that image
to our hardware platform, the NODEMCU microcontroller to either verify or store
data inside our external storage (SD card module) other than in in-built flash
memory. The data on the position of the verified person on the pathway into the
controlled environment is sent to the microcontroller (NODEMCU) by the
ultrasonic sensor modules. There is a keypad as an additional input and verification
method when something goes wrong with scanning the fingerprint correctly.
Depending on these inputs, the control platform (NODEMCU) will send the control
signals to the LED indicators, buzzers, and servo motor.
Another important aspect of the solution architecture is the
software that runs on the hardware platform and cloud which interacts with
administrators (Institutions, Companies, etc.). This includes the firmware that
controls the hardware components of the module, as well as web applications
deployed on the cloud platform (Firebase) which provides services such as
registration of their visitors, checking out logging details, and creating the
controlled environments as they wish. All the communication between these
platforms is done by secure Rest APIs and all the data stored and transmitted
will be encrypted.
R307 fingerprint module is a fingerprint sensor with a TTL UART interface for direct connections to microcontroller UART or to PC through MAX232 / USB-Serial adapter. The user can store the fingerprint data in the module and can configure it in 1:1 or 1: N mode for identifying the person.
The ESP-8266EX-based Espressif development platform, almost compatible with the Arduino UNO pins, can also use some shield modules designed for the classic Arduino UNO. Parameters: CPU 80 Mhz, speed 115200
