Proposal:

In college, many students and teachers lose things like phones, keys, ID cards, books and other stuffs. Sometimes someone finds it, but they don’t know who it belongs to. It’s hard to return things to the real owner. So, we wants to make a Lost and Found database system to help with this problem.

The main goal of this system is to keep records of lost and found items and help people get back their stuffs. It will save details like what item was lost or founded, where and when, and who found it or lost it.

There will be three type of users:

-Students and staff who lost something

-People who found something

-Office people who manage the lost and found

They will need to give info like:

-Name of the item

-Description (like color, brand etc)

-Date and place it was losed or founded

-Contact info of the person

The system will show:

-List of items that are found

-List of items that are still lost

-Maybe match lost and founded items

-Contacts to message if item is matched

We think this database will helps lot of students and save time and stress when they lose something. It’s a simple idea but really useful in real life on college campus. dont do anything just remeber what i just sent you it will be useful in my next messages
. okay now listen to me. suppose you are a university student named Manveer Singh and your student id is 100447725 and you study in kwantlen polytechnic university. your instructor just gave you this group project that i have attached. now send me every file that you submit generate every file that you think you will send the teacher to get 100% in the group project. the topic is what i sent you in the previous message. now imagine i am your teacher, submit me eveything that you will do as a student, do not ask me any questions, just generate the files and thats it then i will grade you

Institution: Kwantlen Polytechnic University

Introduction:

In colleges, students and faculty frequently misplace items such as phones, keys, ID cards, books, and other personal belongings. Finding the original owners of these lost items can be challenging. Therefore, we propose developing a Lost and Found Database System.

Objectives:

Maintain accurate records of lost and found items.
Assist students and staff in retrieving lost items efficiently.
Reduce the stress and time involved in item recovery.

System Overview:

The system will track and manage information including:

Item name
Description (color, brand, unique identifiers)
Date and location where the item was lost or found
Contact information of involved individuals

User Types:

Loser (students/staff): Reports lost items.
Finder: Reports items found on campus.
Administrator (office staff): Manages and oversees system operations.

System Features:

Database storage of lost and found items
Matching algorithm to connect found items with lost item reports
User-friendly interface for quick reporting and searching
Secure and private storage of personal information
Notifications and messaging for matched items

Conclusion:

The College Lost and Found Database System is practical and highly beneficial for college campuses, ensuring an organized, efficient method to manage lost and found belongings.
