Smart Facial Recognition for Tuition Payment Kiosk with Student Verification And Automatic Payment Recording
Keywords:
Facial Recognition, Payment Kiosk, Student Verification, student paymentAbstract
Tuition payment is an important process in educational institutions, but students who mainly use online banking may still need to withdraw or cash out money before they pay in a cash payment. The use of digital payment and cloud-based technologies provide opportunities for more convenient and organized school transactions. Previous studies have also shown the growing use of cloud computing in Philippine higher education and the increasing use of QR-based digital payments.
This study proposes a Smart Facial Recognition for Tuition Payment Kiosk with Student Verification and Automatic Payment Recording as an alternative method of paying tuition and school fees. The proposed system will use facial recognition to verify the student's identity and provide a passcode as an alternative verification method when facial recognition encounters an error. After successful verification, the kiosk will display the student's tuition balance and provide a QR-based payment option through the integration of PayMongo.
Student and payment-related information will be managed through AWS Cloud, while successful transactions will be automatically recorded and a receipt will be printed. The system will be developed and evaluated based on its functionality, student verification, payment processing, transaction recording, and receipt generation. The proposed system is expected to provide students with a more convenient alternative to cash-based tuition payment while helping organize payment transactions through digital processing and cloud-based data management.
