INTRODUCTION

In the fast -faced daily life, the phenomenon of losing

things is common and the situation of picking up
lost properties also happens frequently. Instead of
going to complaint we have developing a new web
application called Find and Found. In this project,
we designed and build a lost and found web
application with basic functions like the lost and
found portals available online: user registration,
login/logout, changing user password, posting lost
stuff, posting found stuff, admin login
 PURPOSE
• The main purpose of the proposed find and found system is to
streamline the process of reporting and searching for lost items,
making it more efficient and convenient for users. The system
would use technology to create a searchable database of lost and
found items, allowing users to easily report lost items and search
for items that have been found. The system would also reduce the
workload of lost and found departments by automating much of
the process. Ultimately, the goal is to increase the chances of lost
items being returned to their owners. The purpose of a find and
found project is to create a system or process for collecting,
storing, and returning lost items to their rightful owners. This can
help to improve customer satisfaction, reduce the number of lost
items, and increase efficiency in managing lost items
 Software Requirements

• User interface: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap,

Angular 9
• Programming Language: Java 11
• IDE: STS (Spring Tool Suite), Visual Studio
Code
• Database: JSON, My SQL
• Web Application: Restful Web Services
 Hardware Requirements
• RAM: 3GB
• Hard Disk: 150GB
• Processor: 32/64 Pentium (Windows 8
LINUX)
 Use Case diagram
• Use case diagram is a graphical depiction of a
user’s possible interactions with a system. It
describes the high-level function and scope of a
system. These diagrams also identify the
interactions between the system and scope of a
system and its actors. A use case diagram shows
various use cases and different types of users the
system has and will often be accompanied by
other types of diagrams as well

1. User Module: This module allows users to register, login and access the
found and found system. They can report lost items, search for found
items, and update their contact information.
2. Admin Module: This module is used by administrators to manage the find
and found system. They can view and manage lost and found items,
approve or reject lost item reports, and communicate with users.

3. Search Module: This module enables users to search for lost or found
items based on various parameters such as item type, location, date, etc.

4. Notification Module: This module is used to notify users about the status
of their lost item reports, updates on found items matching their lost
items, and other important information related to the find and found
system.
• 5. Reporting Module: This module allows users to report lost items
by providing details such as item description, location, date, and
contact information. The module also allows administrators to
approve or reject lost item reports.
•
• 6. Inventory Management Module: This module is used to manage
the inventory of lost and found items. It enables administrators to
add new items, update item details, and remove items from the
inventory.
•
• 7. Analytics Module: This module provides insights into the
performance of the find and found system.

 Activity Diagram
An activity diagram visually presents a series of actions or flow of control in a system
similar to a flowchart or a data flow diagram. Activity diagrams are often used in
business process modelling.
For example, the activity diagram could show the following steps:
1. The user reports a lost item by filling out a form with details about the lost item.
2. The system stores the information about the lost item in a database.
3. The system sends notifications to users who have opted to receive alerts about lost
items that match the description of the lost item.
4. The finder searches for and finds the lost item.
5. The finder contacts the administrator to report that they have found the lost item.
6. The administrator verifies that the lost item belongs to the user who reported it as
lost.
7. The administrator facilitates any payments involved in returning the lost item to its
rightful owner.
8. The lost item is returned to its rightful owner.

 Dataflow Diagram
• A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the flow of data
through a system. In the context of a find and found system, a DFD would
illustrate how information flows between different components of the system,
including the user interface, item tracking technology, database, notification
system, and administration interface.
• The DFD would typically show the different processes involved in the find and
found process, such as reporting a lost item, searching for lost items, and
updating the status of lost items. For example, when a user reports a lost item
through the user interface, the information would flow to the item tracking
technology, which would update the database with the details of the lost item.
• The DFD would also show how different components of the system interact
with each other. For example, when a lost item is found, the notification
system would send an alert to the user through the user interface, and the
administration interface would update the status of the lost item in the
database.
 Advantages
Increased efficiency: A find and found system can help improve the efficiency of the lost and found process,
making it easier for individuals to report lost items and for businesses to manage and return lost items.

Improved customer satisfaction: By providing a reliable and efficient find and found service, businesses can
improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. This can lead to increased revenue and positive word-of-
mouth recommendations.

Reduced costs: A find and found system can help reduce the costs associated with managing lost items,
such as storage, disposal, and staff time.

Enhanced safety and security: By ensuring that lost items are returned to their rightful owners, a find and
found system can enhance safety and security by preventing potential security risks and reducing the
likelihood of theft or fraud.

Improved data management: A find and found system can help businesses better manage data related to
lost items, such as tracking information, owner information, and item descriptions. This can help
improve the accuracy and efficiency of the find and found process.
 Disadvantages
Implementation costs: Implementing a find and found system can be expensive, especially for
smaller businesses that may not have the resources to invest in new technology or software.

Maintenance costs: Maintaining a find and found system can also be costly, as it may require
ongoing updates and maintenance to ensure that it continues to function properly.

Privacy concerns: Collecting and storing personal information about individuals who report lost
items can raise privacy concerns, especially if the information is not properly secured or
protected.

False reports: A find and found system may be vulnerable to false reports, which can lead to
wasted time and resources as staff investigate reports of lost items that do not actually exist.

Limited effectiveness: Despite its potential benefits, a find and found system may not be effective
in all situations, particularly if items are lost in areas where there is limited access to
technology or if individuals do not have the means to report lost items.
