promises to be a user-friendly and efficient tool for unlocking the hidden value within WhatsApp
chat data.
1.2 Literature Review
Existing System
In olden days there was no analysis for whatsapp chat. If someone wants to analyze there is no
CSV file to analyze. WhatsApp Application provides an export txt file which is in raw format. It
is very complicated for analysis. So we have to forget that system and switch over to the
WhatsApp Chat Analyzer.
Disadvantages of Existing System
11

1.3 Objective
Everyone today uses Whatsapp for daily conversation. It has become one of the biggest business
engines where multiple e-commerce businesses share the product-designs and product details,
accept orders, are involved in money transactions, and a lot more. Indeed the business support
Whatsapp does not have analytics support where the people or business can analyze their
monthly or daily activities to get an idea of where they are lacking, the demand of customers,
sales, marketing, activeness of group members, and many things.
So to gain the solution to the above statement, we aim to develop a complete interface where
users can upload the WhatsApp chat in text format by exporting the chat from WhatsApp. It will
provide users with two options to study the chats. On submitting the chat, the engine will display
12

the complete report with interactive graphs, which is easy to understand. The user can get an in-
depth idea of how the business over WhatsApp is performing. The report we want to display will
include the following analysis from the chat we need to showcase.
 Total number of messages best, and in a year, which month

includes the most conversations?
 Total words

3.1 Data Flow Diagrams (Level 0, Level1)
A data flow diagram (DFD) maps out the flow of information for any process or system. It uses
defined symbols like rectangles, circles and arrows, plus short text labels, to show data inputs,
outputs, storage points and the routes between each destination. Data flowcharts can range from
simple, even hand-drawn process overviews, to in-depth, multi-level DFDs that dig progressively
deeper into how the data is handled. They can be used to analyze an existing system or model a
new one. Like all the best diagrams and charts, a DFD can often visually “say” things that would
be hard to explain in words, and they work for both technical and nontechnical audiences, from
developer to CEO. That’s why DFDs remain so popular after all these years. While they work
well for data flow software and systems, they are less applicable nowadays to visualizing
interactive, real-time or database-oriented software or systems.

Fig 3.1.2 Level 1 DFD
3.2 Activity Diagram
Activity diagram is another important behavioral diagram in UML diagram to describe dynamic
aspects of the system. Activity diagram is essentially an advanced version of flow chart that
modeling the flow from one activity to another activity. Activity Diagrams describe how
activities are coordinated to provide a service which can be at different levels of abstraction.
Typically, an event needs to be achieved by some operations, particularly where the operation is
intended to achieve a number of different things that require coordination, or how the events in a
single use case relate to one another, in particular, use cases where activities may overlap and
require coordination. It is also suitable for modeling how a collection of use cases coordinate to
represent business workflows
21

3.3 Flow Chart
A flowchart is a diagram that depicts a process, system or computer algorithm. They are widely
used in multiple fields to document, study, plan, improve and communicate often complex
processes in clear, easy-to-understand diagrams. Flowcharts, sometimes spelled as flow charts,
use rectangles, ovals, diamonds and potentially numerous other shapes to define the type of step,
along with connecting arrows to define flow and sequence. They can range from simple, hand-
drawn charts to comprehensive computer-drawn diagrams depicting multiple steps and routes. If
we consider all the various forms of flowcharts, they are one of the most common diagrams on
the planet, used by both technical and non-technical people in numerous fields.

3.4 Class Diagram
A class diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of static structure
diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system's classes, their attributes,
operations (or methods), and the relationships among objects.
A class is a description of a group of objects all with similar roles in the system, which consists
of:
Structural features (attributes) define what objects of the class "know"
 Represent the state of an object of the class
 Are descriptions of the structural or static features of a class
Behavioral features (operations) define what objects of the class "can do"
 Define the way in which objects may interact

23

 Operations are descriptions of behavioral or dynamic features of a class
Fig 3.4.1 Class Diagram
3.5 ER Diagram
The Entity Relational Model is a model for identifying entities to be represented in the database
and representation of how those entities are related. The ER data model specifies enterprise
schema that represents the overall logical structure of a database graphically. The Entity
Relationship Diagram explains the relationship among the entities present in the database. ER
models are used to model real-world objects like a person, a car, or a company and the relation
between these real-world objects. In short, the ER Diagram is the structural format of the
database.
24

Fig 3.5.1 ER Diagram
3.6 Sequence Diagram
Sequence Diagrams are interaction diagrams that detail how operations are carried out. They
capture the interaction between objects in the context of collaboration. Sequence Diagrams are
time focus and they show the order of the interaction visually by using the vertical axis of the
diagram to represent time what messages are sent and when.
Sequence Diagrams captures:
 The interaction that takes place in a collaboration that either realizes a use case or an
operation (instance diagrams or generic diagrams)
 High-level interactions between user of the system and the system, between the system
and other systems,between subsystems (sometimes known as system sequence diagrams)
25

Fig 3.6.1 Sequence Diagram
3.7 Use Case Diagram
In the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a use case diagram can summarize the details of your
system's users (also known as actors) and their interactions with the system. To build one, you'll
use a set of specialized symbols and connectors. An effective use case diagram can help your
team discuss and represent:
 Scenarios in which your system or application interacts with people, organizations, or

external systems
 Goals that your system or application helps those entities (known as actors) achieve
 The scope of your system
