MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631017965 A) filed by C. V. Raman Global University, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, on Feb. 18, for 'automated student attendance monitoring and analytics system for college.'
Inventor(s) include Sayantan Bag; Pragnya Priyadarshani Dash; Nitika Shaw; Vaibhaw Sagar; Saquib Ali Khan; Akshat Gautam; and Prof. Rojalina Priyadarshini.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent attendance management system that integrates multiple verification modalities-Quick Response (QR) codes, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) proximity detection via mobile devices, and WiFi hotspot association-to enable accurate, tamperresistant, and hardware-light attendance recording in educational institutions. The system employs a fusion decision engine that processes signatures from all three modalities and applies anti-proxy heuristics to verify genuine presence without requiring specialized hardware beyond smartphones already in student possession. A cryptographically-signed, time-limited QR token is generated per session to prevent code reuse and replay attacks, while BLE-based proximity sampling leverages the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from peer devices with temporal voting to infer physical presence. The backend applies weighted scoring rules configurable by the institution, allowing flexible acceptance thresholds when multiple modalities confirm attendance. The solution supports offline operation with local event caching and automatic synchronization once connectivity is restored, ensuring robustness in intermittent network conditions. An integrated analytics module aggregates attendance records in real-time, providing institution-wide dashboards, trend detection, defaulter alerts, and predictive insights to identify at-risk students. The invention is implemented using only commodity smartphones and cloud infrastructure, eliminating capital expenditure on specialized beacons or hardware while maintaining cryptographic integrity, privacy-preserving ephemeral identifiers, and role-based access control. The system has been deployed as a proof-of-concept and demonstrates significant improvements in accuracy, reduction of proxy and unauthorized attendance, faster processing compared to manual methods, and lower operational costs while contributing to a paperless institutional environment."
