This paper is regarding the proposal of a whole new concept in the category of automatic attendance marking systems. The proposed methodology suggests making use of the fact that more than 99 percent of the student population of today's generation has a smartphone on his or her person, all of which are capable of using and sharing data via Wi-Fi technology. Use of such technology coupled with a background service on the host's smartphone to monitor the phones existing within the range and the amount of time they do so, will enable the host to mark the attendance of such population for which data regarding all students or attendees exist in the host's local database. The interesting feature of this implementation is that fooling the WLAN attendance will require attending the lecture itself, which would show significant decrease in the faulty-accept rates that is shown by the paper-pen attendance systems and would show much higher flexibility and ease of usage as compared to biometric systems.
