This document describes a proposed Mobile Phone Based Attendance System (MPBAS) that uses Android technology. The system allows lecturers to take student attendance using a smartphone app. Lecturers log in, connect to a server, and take attendance on their phone. Attendance is then sent to the server via GPRS and automatically updated in the database. Lecturers can edit attendance by logging into a website. Students can view their own attendance and curriculum details on a website. The system aims to reduce workload for lecturers and keep students updated on their attendance status. It includes features like location detection using GPS to reduce fake attendance.
