Online students supervision (OSS ) systems using passive RFID

Automatic identification technologies have been used to reduce the time and manpower to input data manually i.e. Barcode, smart card, radio frequency identification (RFID), biometric technology and optical character recognition. Currently RFID has become one of the hottest technologies implemented in a wide range of application i.e.; these include road tolls, bus and trains payment, security tags and luggage labels used in some airports. In Malaysia, the usage of this technology has not yet been expanded; It is only used as a personal identity in the working place, smart tag in PLUS highway and price tags in market. Based on the above-described overview on RFID, this study attempts to apply the technology in online supervision system to ease the school /university management system to monitor the interest group. The OSS system used the main component of passive RFID system, database management system and online networking. When the RFID tags pass through the RFID reader, the system will record the data from the RFID tag to the database systems. Then the data will be sent online to the management for the supervision of students. This system will ease the school/university management people to monitor the availability of each student in the interest zone and this enhance the school management procedures, monitor the interest group movement automatically and increase the safety of students.
