universities, to keep track of teachers’ and students’ teaching attendance in real time, and to connect teachers and students in real
time using computer technology. Access to the Android version of the software speeds up the collection and processing of
information and can play an important role in improving the efficiency of personnel management. On the basis of analysing the
operation logic of the attendance system, matching programs and the attendance system software are designed. &e experimental

attendance rate of students with helpless personality is 13%; the attendance rate of students who follow the current personality
accounted for 10%; and the attendance rate of nonmotivated students accounted for 7%. It can be seen from this that personality is
