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.

the student and subjects that needs to enroll every semester. RFID student card
is equipped with RFID code which serves as a tool to call the Student database
(including mobile number) and subjects that needs to be enrolled by the
students. If the RFID Tag is successfully read by the reader subject will be
consolidated and it will proceed to enroll the student and the subjects in the
system; the GSM Module will send notification.

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.

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

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.

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.
