Implementation of Seat Identification and Attendance System using Beacons

Systems that provide services to users through wearable sensors or smart devices are increasing. Thus, research on the use of Bluetooth low-energy beacons or near-field communication is expanding for detecting location in indoors. This paper proposes a seat identification system that uses beacons to detect the micro-location and smart device to recognize user's movement. Using the proposed equation, the smart device can calculate the distance between user(device) and desks(beacons). With calculated distance, the smart device can predict a user's seat. Further, we automatically check the user's attendance with user's movement using the distance and the acceleration sensor in a smart device. The accuracy is greater than 90%.
