Description
Summary:The project focuses on development of a Java smart card application to be used as Internet prepaid card. The main objectives of this project are to study the smart card technology architecture and to develop an Internet prepaid card application for Internet usage in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) using Java smart card. Currently, UTP students pay a huge fixed amount for Internet fees every semester. The frequent inaccessibility of the network made this an undesirable approach as students cannot utilize the internet to its maximum as compared to the amount they paid. Furthermore students' usage of the internet varies from one student to another. Some students either uses it rarely or did not use at all while some students are heavy users. Thus, it is unfair for the students to be charged the same amount every semester. Looking at this, the author took advantage of the widely available technology that is simple and easy to use to try to solve the current problem faced. The system was developed in 6 phases throughout 5 months. For future improvement, the system can be integrated with bank so that balance will be deducted straight from user bank account. The system can also be enhanced to be a web-based system so that it will be more efficient.
