Crowd Check is an Android application designed to streamline the library experience for Adamson University students. The app provides real-time library occupancy data, manages book borrowing and returns, and integrates features to enhance collaboration and resource utilization.
- Occupancy Tracking: Real-time monitoring of library capacity using RFID-based scanning, providing users with timely updates to optimize their visit schedules.
- Book Management System: Seamless borrowing and returning of books, complete with due-date reminders to encourage timely returns.
- User Collaboration Tools: A "Find Friend" feature that helps users identify and connect with peers in the library.
- Data Management: Designed and implemented a hierarchical Firebase Realtime Database to manage user data, book inventories, and occupancy metrics, ensuring scalability and efficient data queries.
- Agile Development: Assigned tasks and coordinated team efforts using an agile methodology to deliver key features effectively, including real-time occupancy tracking and feedback collection.
- Technology Stack:
- Frontend Development: Android Studio and Java.
- Database Management: Firebase Realtime Database with JSON-based schema for optimized data storage and retrieval.
- Hardware Integration: Arduino-powered RFID scanning system for seamless library access and occupancy updates.
