The Purpose of the project is to trace out the status and progress of the employee mobile and the relevant information is transferred to the mobile of the project manager and updated in the web server. The employees problem related to the company can be monitored by the project manager and he can also track the employees current location through the GPS. In existing system, the CBI alone can trace the mobile phone of any person with the help of unique IMEI number in telephone exchange. So there is no possibility to trace any information regarding the employees mobile details by the project manager. So to overcome, this system was implemented.

3. 1. Mobile Application Module

      The mobile application runs as a background process in the employees mobile phone and it will monitor incoming and outgoing SMS, calls and identifies the location change. There are three sub modules in mobile application. They are

      1. Monitoring and alerting about SMS

         This applications register for incoming and outgoing SMS and MMS in order to monitor the employee. When the employee sends or receives any SMS or MMS in mobile, the same content and the details about the mobile number will be send to the project managers mobile with the date and time. At the same time it will send the HTTP request to the web applications Monitoring servlet (Non- UI).

      2. Monitoring and alerting about calls

         The background applications are useful to monitor the call informations like source or destination mobile number, time of call, call duration and missed calls. These details will be sent to the project manager mobile through SMS format. At the same time the same information is send to the web

         applications monitoring servlet (Non- UI).

      3. Monitoring and alerting about Geo- Location

      The background application identifies the location change and sends the Geo-Location details like Latitude, Longitude, speed and time to the project manager mobile in SMS format and also to the centralized server at the configured interval of time and distance. Date/time, speed and the address details are also shown in the Google map with the routes plotted in the map and the route paths are in the different colors according the speed of that vehicle.

   2. Web Application Module

      Web application runs in the web server and performs request-response and database operations. There are two sub modules in web application. They are

      1. Monitoring servlet (Non-UI)

         This servlet application runs in the web server without UI. The primary reason of this servlet is to receive the request parameter from the mobile phone like the incoming, outgoing SMS, Call and location details and storing it into corresponding tables in the database.

      2. Dashboard servlet (UI)

      This servlet application runs in the web-server with UI associated with it. This web-application allows the project manager to login into the application and view the employees phone history like the history of SMS, calls and location details.

      Date/time, speed and the address details are also shown in the Google map with the routes plotted in the map and the route paths are in the different colors according to the speed of that vehicle.

   3. Input Design

      The Input is designed with the following objectives:

      To track the employee activities effectively through mobile.

      To control the unwanted usage of the mobiles from employee.

      The major steps followed in input design are:

      Data is collected from the employees mobile via the monitoring software.

      The collected data is forwarded to the project managers mobile and web server.

      The collected data is verified. Data is checked for its accuracy.

      Data is transmitted to the database.

      Input Stages

      Data provided in the employees mobile can be viewed.

      Data Verified in the project managers mobile.

4. Testing

   Software testing is a practical

   analysis conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test, with respect to the environment in which it is planned to operate. This includes the process of executing a program or application with the plan of finding software bugs.

5. System Implementation

   After the system has been tested, the implementation type or the changeover technique from the existing system to the new system is a step-by- step process. In the system, at first only a module of the system is implemented and checked for suitability and efficiency. When the end-user related to the particular module is satisfied with the performance, the next step of implementation is proceeded with.

   The mobile with android operating system is implemented in monitoring system. Monitoring system is really very helpful for the project manager to monitor the employee

   through mobile phones. By using this system, the employees problem related to the company can be monitored by the project manager and he can also track the employees current location through the GPS.

   The implementation stage involves careful planning, investigation of the existing system and its constraints on implementation, designing of methods to achieve changeover and evaluation of changeover methods. Implementation is the process of converting a new system design into operation.

   After the system is implemented and conversion is complete, a review should be conducted to determine whether the system meeting expectations and where improvements are needed.

   A post implementation review measures the system's performance against predefined requirements. It determines how well the system continues to meet performance specification. Unexpected change in the system that affects the user or system performance is a primary factor that prompts system review.
