Abstract
In recent times, the traditional time consuming chalk and board
class room teaching methodology are transformed into smart
classroom teaching which involves digital devices such as laptops,
projectors, speakers and more. These devices improve the interaction
between teachers and students, but the cost is a major factor that still
restricts most of the institutions to adopt digital technology.
The main objective of this paper is to design and implements a
cost effective technology-aided system which enhances the quality of
service teaching by effectively utilizes the teaching time.
Introduction
• Today, almost all institutions have eliminated the conventional chalk
and board teaching method by replacing it with laptops provided for
every faculty.
• Each laptop costs around a minimum of Rs200,000 and the list includes
a varied range of laptops from various popular brands.
• The next major challenge of classroom teaching is taking a endance by
every slot faculty.
• To eliminate the time wastage and improving teaching efficiency we
should not involve teacher in a endance process.
Continued
• There have been instances where teachers wishing to share some fact,
theorem, definition, meaning or some other interesting thing which is
not part of the curriculum but is important to explain currently
discussing concept to students and find it difficult to recall which
affects the effectiveness of thee teaching.
• There are few systems present which address few of the objectives
mentioned above in their implementation like a endance system
using fingerprint module.
• These systems focus on improving one aspect of the existing methods.
Importance of project
• To reduce total expenditure on laptops alone when the cost of each one is
multiplied by the number of faculty members is disastrous and is totally
wastage of huge amount of money that can be spent on improvising
other facilities.
• To reduce the major challenge of classroom teaching is taking
a endance by every slot faculty.
• The teacher has to call out the name of each and every student that
consumes a significant amount of time slot allo ed for teaching. To
eliminate the time wastage and improving teaching efficiency we should
not involve teacher in a endance process by using this project.
Features of project
• Performance analysis of fingerprint sensors.
• Comparison of various fingerprint enrollment sensors shows that
Radio Frequency, Optical sensor techniques provides highest
accuracy and compatibility.
• To build a smart conference system with personalized Bluetooth
supported equipment to identify each participant’s identity.
• Biometric sensor a unique identity is assigned to each individual
student.
• This module is useful to take a endance of students for individual
lectures and to produce an a endance report as per the need.
Installation of strech to Raspberry pi
• Step 1: Download the stretch image
• Step 2: Put your SD card into your computer
• Step 3: Use Etcher to burn OS to the SD card
• Step 4: Format the SD card
• Step 5: Download and launch the Win32 disk manager.
• Step 6: Flash the SD card
• Step 7: Boot your pi
• Step 8: Update and upgrade pi using sudo apt-get update and sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade
Algorithm
Step 1: Raspberry pi booting up the essential software.
Step 2: Starting the particle software packet in raspberry pi
Step 3: Take voice command form mobile through Google assistant
Step 4: Google assistant will match with the library of input that we have created in If t
API
Step 5: If t call the Handel to access the particle API
Step 6: Particle API will Handel the request and will send instructions to raspberry pi
through Internet
Step 7: Raspberry pi will execute the instructions and control the specific hardware based
on the voice command input
Step 8: Return to step 3 for new input commands
Step 9: Stop when completed and shutdow

Working components
Raspberry pi 4

The Raspberry Pi 4 uses a Broadcom BCM2711 SoC with a 1.5

GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, with 1 MiB
shared L2 cache. The Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W use the
same Broadcom BCM2835 SoC as the first generation Raspberry
Pi, although now running at 1 GHz CPU clock speed.
Ultrasonic sensors
The ultrasonic sensor HC SC04 is used in this system. Two ultrasonic
sensors continuously measure the distance and report it
To the R-Pi.
Fingerprint module
SM-621 is an optical fingerprint module that has large capacity and
high digital signal processing function. It has a low power ARM
processer with Flash memory and has CMOS technology. The module
can perform tasks like fingerprint enrolment, storing templates,
matching fingerprints, and searching fingerprints.
USB microphone
In this system a USB microphone is used to detect the speech and is
used by Google voice assistant to record the commands. The software
used for creating the website is Hyper Text markup Language (HTML)
[14] and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP).

Conclusion
There is a need for shift in teaching methods from conventional
techniques as the digital age requires the teaching to evolve into advanced
methods reducing the burden on the teachers and also improving the
efficiency. In this project, we have integrated four modules such as smart
projector with PPT upload and download feature, gesture based PPT
control, smart a endance system and Google voice assistance system on a
low cost single controller platform using Raspberry Pi.
This proposed system can be considered As an alternative high cost
smart classroom for the educational institutions that tries to adopt digital
technology.
