integrated into the Subject Consolidation Management Module will become a

turning point of elevating the standards of enrollment procedures on a fast and

user-friendly atmosphere. We further envisioned a drastic improvement in the

collection of student subjects every enrollment taking away the writing down of

students desired subject with an object oriented approach.

1.1 Statement of the Problem

This thesis is an attempt to redefine the subject consolidation procedures

that will be beneficial to AMA students and AMA Campuses in general to

address the following key problems in a current subject gathering protocol:

1. Time consumed in writing down every subjects by the students in front of

the bulletin boards;

2. Mis-spelled subjects and subject codes that tends to enroll students to

another subject that he does not need to have;

3. Manual encoding of subject class number in AMA enrollment system.

1.2 Purpose / Objective of the Study

AMA Olongapo currently has the following procedures performed by every

student during subject gathering:

1. Setting up of bulletin boards and posting course, subject and subject

codes;

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

3/40

3

2. Issuances of Subject Plotting Forms and patiently waiting for your turn to

approach the bulletin boards in order to copy the subjects and subject

codes;

3. Manual summary of the total units and to add/deduct in the event of

exceeding the required units;

4. Manual encoding of subject class number into the enrollment system;

These tasks tend to consume a lot of time and effort for the students and the

university. Thus, we have proposed this thesis particularly to re-define the

subject consolidation management system for the following reasons:

1. Introduction of RFID cards for students in replacement for the existing

PVC-type university cards;

2. Introduction of RFID Tags as a tool to call the student database and

subject curriculum as well.

3. To apply the use of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) as a

reminder or notification that the student has been enrolled and informed the

list subjects code taken.

4. Real-time data analysis of the AMA Subject Consolidation

Management (ASCM).

1.3 Significance of the Study

The study allows both the student as well as the university an added

advantage considering a very short time it would take to reflect the students

subject to his personal database and calling it to the next step (ex. Payment) in a

more transparent and accurate way and eliminating the manual writing and

encoding procedures.

1.4 Scope and Limitations

The following are the capabilities of the AMA Subject Consolidation

Management (ASCM).

1. RFID Tagging of student database together with subjects needed to take

by the students.

2. Central Repository or database which will host the digital aspects of the

RFID Tags.

3. Subject Consolidation Management System Software which will act as the

media between students and the admin officer.

4. Students Summary report/s on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly report

generation.

5. GSM notification of number of subjects code taken of the student upon

completion of the process.

The following are the limitations of the AMA Subject Consolidation

Management (ASCM):

1. Amount to be paid was not provided by the system: hence payment

system shall still be done in the usual ways.

2. Doesnt have reflection of evaluation of grades of the student in the

system.

3. SMS notification only includes the subject codes enrolled by the student.

1.5 Hypothesis

The introduction of the AMA Subject Consolidation Management (ASCM) for

AMA Olongapo can significantly reduce the time and effort of the students in

writing down their desired subjects every enrollment week. It will also eliminate

the reduction of paper and ink consumptions. Installing and creating student

profiles into a single database can also help in the proper tracking of every

student and makes it easy to update student profiles that is inter-related into the

AMA Subject Consolidation Management (ASCM).Lastly, the thesis aims to

eliminate long lines during enrollment in looking into the bulletin board. Now

students will just present their RFID student card which has the RFID tags to use

as a tool to call the student database as well as the subject curriculum per course

and year.

Chapter II

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents a review of literature and related studies conducted

by the researcher which are relevant to the study and to have a profound and

meaningful solution to the present design.

2.1 Related Literature

The RF in RFID stands for "radio frequency"; the "ID" means "identifier."

The tag itself consists of a computer chip and an antenna, often printed on paper

or some other flexible medium. The shortest metaphor is that RFID is like a

barcode but is read with an electro-magnetic field rather than by a laser beam.

The similarity ends there. RFID is an advanced technology compared to

barcodes. The RFID tag does not have to be visible to be read; instead, it can be

read even when it is embedded in an item, such as in the cardboard cover of a

book or the packaging of a product. It can also carry a more complex message

than a barcode, which is limited to an identification number. The chip that is part

of the RFID tag can carry many bytes of information, which means that it has the

potential to carry not only the item number used by a library but also information

such as the title of the book and/or its call number. The size of the information

payload of RFID chips is one of the features that will undoubtedly expand as

future technology advances allow the creation of smaller and more powerful

chips.

A key thing to understand about RFID is that it isnt a single technology;

there are hundreds of different RFID products on the market today, and new

ones appearing constantly. There are the RFID tags that are used for automated

toll-taking for cars that can be read from many feet away as cars speed along

highways. There are those that are in the card keys that many of us use to gain

entry to our office buildings by swiping the card within a few inches of a pad by

the office door. There are chips that are used to track animals on farms or

identify lost pets, and others that help warehouses manage the inventory of

pallets of goods. The Food Drug Administration is considering the use of RFID to

identify drugs and prevent counterfeiting, and there may be a use for RFID in

DVDs to prevent movie piracy. These are all very different technologies that

work on the same principle. What varies is the amount of information the tag

carries, the range in which it can be read, the frequency of its radio waves, its

physical size, and of course its cost. The tags used in libraries today are among

the lower priced tags, with short read ranges and limited functionality, yet even

within a single library the technology can vary based on the need at that

particular station. For example, where RFID is used to read shelves a narrow

range is needed so that the reader doesnt pick up items on shelves above or

below the one being read; yet a circulation check-out station will be designed to

handle a stack of books at a single read. (M. Akgun and R.U Caglayan,.2013).

A. Should University Use RFID?

Because of the privacy issues, some universities question whether they

should consider using RFID at all. While we can ask this question today, we may

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

10/40

10

be facing RFID in our future regardless, especially if RFID becomes the

successor technology to barcodes. Should barcodes and barcode readers go the

way of vinyl records and turntables, libraries needing new or replacement

technology will have little choice but to purchase RFID-based systems. Because

of this possibility, we cannot afford to ignore this new technology, even if we do

not embrace it today. (R. Mahdi,. December 2012.).

B. Specifications of RFID Cards

RFID card is fundamentally just a memory storage device, where the memory is

divided into segments and blocks with simple security mechanisms for access

control. They are ASIC-based and have limited computational power. Thanks to

their reliability and low cost, those cards are widely used for electronic wallet,

access control, corporate ID cards, transportation or stadium ticketing.

The RFID Classic 1K offers 1024 bytes of data storage, split into

16 sectors; each sector is protected by two different keys, calledA and B. Each

key can be programmed to allow operations such as reading, writing, increasing

value blocks, etc. RFID Classic 4K offers 4096 bytes split into forty sectors, of

which 32 are same size as in the 1K with eight more that are quadruple size

sectors. MRFID Classic mini offers 320 bytes split into five sectors. For each of

these card types, 16 bytes per sector are reserved for the keys and access

conditions and cannot normally be used for user data. Also, the very first 16

bytes contain the serial number of the card and certain other manufacturer data

and are read only. That brings the net storage capacity of these cards down to

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

11/40

11

752 bytes for RFID Classic 1k, 3440 bytes for RFID Classic 4k, and 224 bytes for

Mini. It uses an NXP proprietary security protocol (Crypto-1) for authentication

and ciphering. (R. Karthikeyan, B. S. Rao, M. V. Viveck,. 2012).

2.2 Related Studies

2.2.1 Local Studies

An SMS and RFID Based Parent Notification System

Lipa City Colleges

Lipa City Colleges is one school in the Philippines which desires to fully

automate its business transactions. Though, some of the processes of the said

school are now automated such as students record keeping, payroll, enrollment,

grading and library management, the monitoring of the students are not yet

developed. The school has no way of determining if the students are inside the

school premises which is very important information on the side of the parents or

guardians.

The program evolves the needs of the parents of Lipa City Colleges in

monitoring whether their children are in the school or not in specific time. It gives

the parents to have information about the presence of their children in school. It

tackles the time in and time out of every student as well as sending of SMS

notification and generating the attendance report for the parents. Using RFID, a

student requires to login in the system on a daily basis. The scanning of the ID is

a must because it indicates students data in the system. If the process is

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

12/40

12

successful the student will be allowed to enter in the campus. Then the next

process is sending SMS notification on students guardian on what time their

children come to school. If the student leaves the campus logging-out is required.

In this case, there is also a text message sends to the parents in order to know if

their children are really attending the class. Because logging out of every student

is considered necessary it will also determine the time out of the student in the

school.

2.2.2 Foreign Studies

Made by B. Alomair and R. Poovendran,.2010.Most contactless ID and

door access systems use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to

store and transmit a unique card-holder identity code from their card to a reader

mounted on the wall. Popular high-frequency 13.56MHz RFID technologies used

in this market include Mifare, iClass and FeliCa, while older systems use various

low-frequency 125KHz technologies including HID Prox.

The process of adding a user to a system, also known as enrollment,

usually involves entering all of the user's personal data at the point of card

activation, or calling up an existing database record for that user, and adding

their card details. This will 'tie' the user to a specific pre-programmed card ID and

will typically enable the card for use at the door within a short period of time.

In some cases, the card may also be printed with the user's photo and

other identity information, while other data, such as PKI-based digital certificates,

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

13/40

13

may also be generated and loaded onto a chip for logical access (e.g. Windows

PC logon) purposes.

. Some systems use a 'Weigand converter' to enable a standard wall-

mounted door reader to be connected to a PC, but this is not ideal, since these

readers are usually expensive and require separate power supplies and

mounting panels. Alternatively, some systems require the operator to 'swipe' the

card past a nearby door reader, and then look up the ID using the access system

logs before it can be stored against the user's record.

Read-a-Card provides a perfect solution to this problem. It enables quick and

easy card ID reading on a PC, using low-cost desktop readers from a wide range

of suppliers. It can read multiple card types, technologies and data formats, and

therefore provides future-proofing against the introduction of different card

technologies and systems.

Research Methodology

3.1 Methods of Research

A. Internet Research Method

The proponents used this method primarily due to the fact that the World

Wide Web now contains huge databases of information, thus we used this

method in collecting facts, data and up to date photos or image needed in the

documentation of the project. We have researched in different sites in order to

obtain verifiable information about RFID, RIFD Tags, Visual Basic 6

programming language Software and school management using RFID.

B. Descriptive Research Method

The main idea of our research is to integrate the RFID technology for

studentsenrollment, eliminating manual writing of the subjects while viewing the

bulletin boards. To make full use of the technology, we will propose the

replacement of our AMA official student ID to an RFID Based ID which will be the

new official campus ID. Also, we will be setting up per RFID card to act as the

call point in getting the student database and curriculum of the particular course

in the database. We will also provide a desktop reader where all the RFIDs shall

be read to be reflected into the ASCM software. ASCM shall have functionalities

of computing total units allowed per students, creating the summarized student-

subject data and then send an SMS notification of subject codes enrolled by the

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

15/40

15

student. ASCM also has the capability to be analyzed in real-time to get log

report or student summary reports needed by the university in data analysis.

C. Creative Research Methods

Survey was held to ask respondents and statistics gathered from it were also

used as one of the basis in completing this research. To be specific, we held

surveys to 30 Enrollment Staff in the city as respondents of the said survey.

D. Comparative Research Method

The proposed system was compared with the existing system, the AMA

enrollment system which manually encoded the subject class number and

student information. The proponents sought for the efficiencies of the RFID cards

as an efficient alternative to student IDs when it comes to durability and flexibility

in enrollment operations. Manual writing in the plotting forms and manual

encoding of subject class number is a very time consuming protocol but instead

RFID cards which will serve as the student ID will provide the student information

and subject that needs to be taken can much easier for student and subject

enrollment system. In addition, GSM will send a notification in the student.

For simplicity of the researched, and with scalability in mind, we agreed to

have a modular approached in this research by separating the hardware

components against a software dependency so others in the future could also

enhance our research taking into consideration the latest technology, research

and programming languages.

8/12/2019 chap1-5 err

16/40

Proponents encountered constraint in the course of this research.

Economic const rain t: the use of the Medium Range frequency family is

found to be more affordable compared to the UHF family where the only

difference is the reading distance between the RFID card and the RFID

reader.

3.2 Data Gathering Instruments

Observation

As the proponent entered the last year in college, the proponent thought of

how they can contribute to the betterment of AMA as the main source of their

education. Since students experience the tedious process of writing down their

desired subject every enrollment, the proponent have come into the conclusion

that this thesis can help improve this old-time protocol into a more convenient

procedures advantageous to the students and AMA as a whole. Also, make use

of the GSM as another tool to information dissemination; the proponent

integrated this so that students should know that they have a means of

information.

For the purpose of showing that this thesis is achievable, the proponent will

be using the following items:

1. Issue RFID card with RFID Tag for students3 pcs

Admin Staff: There are only four user account can access the system

currently used here in AMA (School Director, Dean, Admin

Staff and the person in charge in the registrars office).

Proponents: Did AMA Olongapo provided its own system for enrollment?

and what are the restrictions and parameters included in

the system ?

Admin Staff: The system currently used here in AMA came from the Head

Office. There are restrictions and parameters included in the

system like no conflict schedule, no over booking, maximum

of 30 units per student only and no advance subject unless

prerequisites are already taken.

Figure 4.1.2a: Schedule and Work Feasibility

The chart illustrated in Figure 4.1.2a a project schedule. It is a gantt chart

which illustrates the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary

elements of a project. After approval of the project we started the paper works

began on the first week of December together with the construction of prototype

and software and ended from January to March. Currently, the proponents are

now ready for any enhancements.

Our main agenda for this thesis is to implement the solution which is a product

of RFID Technology application. We are proposing that the current AMA

Olongapo student ID be replaced with an RFID-type ID that will be the new

official student ID. This new ID shall have the unique code that differentiates one

ID from the other or from one student from the rest.

The application of proposed system is to update and consolidate student and his

intended subjects to be enrolled every semester and initiate an automatic SMS

notification to the student as a means of making every student feel that AMA

Olongapo cares for their students academic quest. The application also

manages the database profile of every students and also updates if necessary

all subjects per course and per year entry.

5.1 Conclusion

The proponents conclude that they can change the protocol of AMA Olongapo

subject gathering during enrollment into a more student friendly procedure

eliminating the traditional manual subject gathering.

5.2 Recommendation

Since the proponents main objective is to introduce the RFID technology to AMA

Olongapo and at the same time makes some drastic changes in the subject

gathering of students every enrollment, we have countless ideas which if also

incorporated into this proposal, would have a higher level of operational usability

for future:

1. AMA Subject Consolidation Management will be added in the system

currently use in school. In this case if ASCM system will be added in the

system of AMA, upon using RFID code can also access the student profile

through internet.

2. The proposed system could be upgraded in enhancing the ASCM system

by integrating different faces included in the system like in accounting,

registrar and cashiering which is currently use by AMA.

3. Grading system can also be integrated in the ASCM to manage student

grade evaluation accurately.
