 ABSTRACT

All institutions in our country are concerned about regularity of attendance. Mainly there are two conventional
methods for attendance taking and they are by calling names or by taking sign on paper. They both were more
time consuming and inefficient method. Hence, there is a requirement of smart i-card. This project defines the
basic problem of attendance management in various organization as well as adding credits to a student’s profile
which can be considered for this overall assessments. This project also supports updating book issue status for
libraries. In this project the various computerized system which is being developed by using different techniques
and QR-codes. Based on this a new approach for attendance, credits and updating book issue status is proposed to
be used for various organization
 INTRODUCTION

The technology aims in imparting a tremendous knowledge oriented technical innovation these days. Deep
Learning is one among the interesting domain that enables the machine to train itself by supplying some datasets
as input and supplies a suitable output during testing by applying different learning algorithms.

Nowadays Attendance is considered as a key factor for Industries as well as an educational organization. With the
advancement of the deep learning technology the machine automatically detects the attendance performance and
keeps a record of those collected data. In general, the attendance system can be kept in two different forms
namely, Manual Attendance System (MAS) Automated Attendance System (AAS). Manual Attendance
Management system is a process where an Industries as well as an educational organization concerned with the
subject need to call the name and mark the attendance manually. So, the problem arises when we think about the
traditional process of taking attendance in the classroom. To solve all these issues, we go with Automatic
Attendance System (AAS). Automated Attendance System (AAS) is a process to automatically estimate the
presence or the absence of the student in the classroom by using scanning the QR code technology.

It can also be implemented in the exam sessions to ensure the presence of the student. And to avoid excess stress
of the unsorted library system we will assign a QR which represents the basic info of the particular student so the
librarian can easily understand and arrange the details and books taken and returned by the student. We will also
include credit system which is a credit-based system where the selected admins or in our case the faculties can
give credits which the students can use to avail special offers to the books the Eligibility of exam can be availed
and the leaves and the internal markings can be achieved by the credential system.
 Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering for Smart I-Card Project:

The given project aims to develop an Automated Attendance System using QR code scanning. The system is
intended to replace the traditional manual attendance process in industries and educational organizations.
Additionally, the project proposes the use of QR codes for managing library books, implementing a credit system,
and facilitating exam eligibility, leaves, and internal markings. To reverse engineer the project, we will outline the
steps involved in its implementation.

1. Data Collection:
- Gather a sufficient amount of attendance data, including both positive (presence) and negative (absence)
instances, to train the deep learning model.
- Collect student information such as names, unique identifiers, and other relevant details required for generating
QR codes.

2. QR Code Generation:
- Develop a system to generate unique QR codes for each student, containing their basic information and unique
identifiers.
- Establish a method to associate the generated QR codes with the corresponding student records in the attendance
database.

3. Attendance Tracking:
- Implement a mechanism to scan QR codes using appropriate technology, such as a dedicated QR code scanner
or a mobile device with a camera.
- Develop software or algorithms to process the scanned QR codes and extract the relevant student information.
- Update the attendance database based on the scanned QR codes and mark the students as present or absent
accordingly.

4. Integration with Library System:

- Create a library management system that utilizes the QR codes associated with each student.
- Develop a database to store information about borrowed and returned books, along with corresponding due
dates and penalties (if any).
- Enable librarians to scan QR codes to retrieve student information and track their book transactions.

5. Credit System and Exam Eligibility:

- Design a credit-based system to allow selected administrators or faculty members to assign credits to students.
- Develop a mechanism for students to redeem their credits for special offers related to library books or other
privileges.
- Implement rules and conditions for determining exam eligibility based on credit accumulation or other criteria
specified by the faculty.

6. Leave and Internal Markings:

- Establish a credential system that allows students to apply for leaves and track their attendance-related
information.
- Develop a mechanism for faculty members to review and approve leave requests, update internal markings, and
manage student attendance records.

By following these reverse engineering steps, the project can be implemented to create an Automatic Attendance
System using QR codes and additional features like library management, credit system, exam eligibility, leaves,
and internal markings.
3. Canvas Activities

3.1 AEIOU Canvas

AEIOU charts describe overall ideas about all details about previous concrete.
This comprises of five elements
1. Activities: the general observation or activities done in the domain.
2. Environment: the activities done in a specific surrounding is called environment.
3. Interaction: all type of interaction performed to get the job done.
4. Object: all the props, tools or objects used to get the job done.
5. Users: all the individuals that took part in the process are users.

3.1.1 Activities
These are goal-directed sets of action towards things people want to accomplish. What are the modes
people work in, and the specific activities and processes they go through?
In Summary of activities We describe general Impression, elements and summary of activities in general

 CONCLUSION

Concluding, Reverse engineering is a valuable process we used in our project in this semester to understand the
inner workings of a product, system, or technology. By deconstructing and analyzing the design, functionality,
and components of an existing object or system, reverse engineering can provide valuable insights and benefits.
Here are some common conclusions that we drew from the use of reverse engineering in our project:
Understanding Functionality, Identifying Design and Construction Techniques, Troubleshooting and Debugging
and Enhancing our Performance and Optimization.

Thus, the team acknowledged how to do documentation of a project and learnt how to make the canvases, which
gives the idea regarding project. Canvases helped us to be specified regarding project features and decide the
basic problem statement upon which we are working. Through this project users can rent properties easily without
much hassle. By making it online and in such a way that procedure is very smooth and easy going.
