Abstract

Owing to the recent increased interest in wireless communication technology and rapid technology development, a range of applied technologies utilizing them are being released. In addition, at school, by adopting an attendance management system using wireless communication technology, attempts to solve problems caused by attendance books are being made. Representative attendance management systems include those using RFID, Bluetooth and clicker. Although these systems have solved the problem of wasting paper and time due to calling and writing attendance, they have other problems of generating additional expenses of purchasing or renting more equipment. To solve all of these problems, this paper suggests prototype system that can manage attendance by using NFC (Near Field Communication), which most smartphones provide. The attendance management system using NFC consists of two applications; one for professors and the other for students. The system solves problems, such as proxy attendance, loss of lesson time and additional cost by automatically managing attendance information using NFC and TCP/IP technologies.

최근 무선 통신 기술에 대한 관심 증가와 빠른 기술 발전으로 인해 이를 이용한 다양한 응용 기술이 출시되고 있다. 학교에서도 무선 통신 기술을 이용한 출결 관리 시스템을 이용함으로써 출석부에 의한 출결 관리의 문제점을 해결하는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 그 대표적인 시스템이 RFID, Bluetooth, 클리커 등을 이용한 출결 관리 시스템이다. 그러나 이들 시스템은 출석 호명과 수기에 따른 종이와 시간 낭비를 해결하기는 하였으나 부가적인 장비를 구매 또는 대여함으로써 비용 추가를 발생시키는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 모든 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 대부분의 스마트폰에서 지원되고 있는 NFC(Near Field Communication)를 이용한 자동 출결 관리 시스템의 프로토타입을 제안한다. NFC를 이용한 자동 출결 관리 시스템은 교수용과 학생용 두 개의 앱으로 구성되며, NFC와 TCP/IP 기술을 이용하여 출결 정보를 자동 관리하게 함으로써 대리출석 및 수업시간 손실, 부가적인 비용 발생 등의 문제점을 해결하였다.
