Abstract
Over the last few years, the mobile and wireless market has been one of the fastest growing markets in the world and it is still growing at a rapid pace. With mobile technology, banks can offer a wide range of services to their customers such as balance enquiry, mini statement, cheque status etc.
Mobile Banking is an application that lives on a mobile phone, which lets one access their bank accounts with just a few presses away. This application lets the banking institutions provide value added services to their customers. Mobile Banking is the most promising way to reach more number of customers who cannot frequently visit banks or ATMs to get the information about their account. And due to its ability to provide services anywhere anytime the customers of Mobile Banking rapidly increases.
Mobile Banking is being used to attract low-income populations in rural locations.
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
Here we are first assuming a login process, a very usual process of getting username and passwords for users. We are also considering that they have the bank accounts that means they are having manual transactions with the particular bank, so a good customer of this bank whom we will not want to lose for the reason of security breach in.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project acts as an interface between the Customer and Bank.
• Customer has to request for new password when he or she wants to login.
• Customer can login with his new password.
• He or she can view his balance
• Can view mini statement
• Can logged out
If any of the above-specified functions fail the corresponding error message will be displayed which makes the project friendlier to the user. The application software is developed with MySql database and GUI based front- end tool J2EE. The information about the users is stored in the database in the related tables. All designing of pages are done with LCDUI using mobile wireless tool kit and Java. Using Java Technologies makes our project more robust and importantly portability over different systems.
Chapter -2 System Analysis
PROBLEM DEFINITION
2.1 Existing System
The first step of preliminary study in the system analysis process involves the identification of needs for computerization. The motivation behind this project is to overcome all the defects in the existing system.
Some defects in existing system are:
Every time Customer has to visit the bank whenever he want to perform any transactions.
2.2 Proposed System
Features of proposed system:
• No need of visiting bank every time
• All banking services like checking balance, mini-statement, applying for cheques are provided in mobile.
2.3 User Classes and Characteristics
The Customer has to be very familiar with accessing the Internet and how to use the basic controls displayed in the mobile. The Customer can request for new password, interacting with mobile application.
2.4 Operating Environment:
Software Requirements are Windows as Operating System. J2ME Tool Kit as Front-End designing tools. MySql is used as Database Server. Tomcat server is the Web server. Servlets are used as server side languages, J2ME tool kit for Mobile service.
2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints
This project will be developed using the technologies like Java, J2ME,Java Servlets, MySQL and Web for all which I need to fetch knowledge on all of them in order to code for the project. Also I’ll be learning clearly about Software Development Life Cycle.
2.6 User Documentation
This document also includes a user manual which assists the new user to go about the project, he can even get the online help which caters the needs of a new user and makes this project more user friendly, a step by step approach online makes it easy to use software for a naïve user.
2.7 Module Description
In this we have five modules
• Balance Enquiry
• Mini Statement
• Cheque Status Enquiry
• Request for New Cheque book
• Change Password
• View Bills
Balance Enquiry
This module provides facility to know the balance of the customer
Mini Statement
This module gives the whole transaction details such as deposit, withdrawal and balance.
Cheque Status Enquiry
This module gives the withdrawal information if withdrawal mode is ‘Cheque’
Request for New Cheque
This module provides facility to request a new cheque book by the customer.
Change Password
This module allows customer to change his current password to new password
2.8 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Hard Ware Requirements
Processor:: Pentium-III (or) Higher
Ram:: 254MB (or) Higher
Cache:: 512MB
Hard disk:: 40GB
Soft Ware Requirements
• Technology: Java 2 Standard Edition, JDBC, and J2ME Tool Kit
• Server Side Technologies: Servlets, Tomcat 5.5
• Operating System: Microsoft Windows, Linux or Mac any version
Chapter – 3 FEASIBILITY STUDY
3. FEASIBILITY STUDY:
The next step in analysis is to verify the feasibility of the proposed system. “All projects are feasible given unlimited resources and infinite time“. But in reality both resources and time are scarce. Project should confirm to time bounce and should be optimal in there consumption of resources. This place a constant is approval of any project.
Feasibility has applied to Mobile Banking pertains to the following areas:
• Technical feasibility
• Operational feasibility
• Economical feasibility
3.1 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY:
To determine whether the proposed system is technically feasible, we should take into consideration the technical issues involved behind the system.
Mobile Banking uses the web technologies, which is rampantly employed these days worldwide. The world without the web is incomprehensible today. That goes to proposed system is technically feasible.
3.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY:
To determine the operational feasibility of the system we should take into consideration the awareness level of the users. This system is operational feasible since the users are familiar with the technologies and hence there is no need to gear up the personnel to use system. Also the system is very friendly and to use.
3.3. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
To decide whether a project is economically feasible, we have to consider various factors as:
• Cost benefit analysis
• Long-term returns
• Maintenance costs
The proposed Mobile Banking is computer based. It requires average computing capabilities and access to internet, which are very basic requirements hence it doesn’t incur additional economic overheads, which renders the system economically feasible.
Chapter – 4 SYSTEM DESIGN
SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is transition from a user oriented document to programmers or data base personnel. The design is a solution, how to approach to the creation of a new system. This is composed of several steps. It provides the understanding and procedural details necessary for implementing the system recommended in the feasibility study. Designing goes through logical and physical stages of development, logical design reviews the present physical system, prepare input and output specification, details of implementation plan and prepare a logical design walkthrough.
The database tables are designed by analyzing functions involved in the system and format of the fields is also designed. The fields in the database tables should define their role in the system. The unnecessary fields should be avoided because it affects the storage areas of the system. Then in the input and output screen design, the design should be made user friendly. The menu should be precise and compact.
SOFTWARE DESIGN
In designing the software following principles are followed:
1. Modularity and partitioning: software is designed such that, each system should consists of hierarchy of modules and serve to partition into separate function.
2. Coupling: modules should have little dependence on other modules of a system.
3. Cohesion: modules should carry out in a single processing function.
4. Shared use: avoid duplication by allowing a single module is called by other that need the function it provides
