CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

I. Introduction

Mobile phone users is forecast to reach 4.68 billion. The number of mobile phone users

in the world is expected to pass the five billion mark by 2019. In 2016, an estimated 62.9 percent

of the population worldwide already owned a mobile phone. We can say that almost everyone

has a mobile phone that we can use to transmit information to one another. And nowadays

information have been a vital commodity for the successful operation of today's organizations.

Even modern business organizations are using computerized information system in order to

obtain such information.

What is a mobile application? A mobile application, most commonly referred to as an

app, is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone

or tablet computer. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to

those accessed on PCs. Apps are generally small, individual software units with limited function.

This use of app software was originally popularized by Apple Inc. and its App Store, which

offers thousands of applications for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

And with this mobile application, the Angels Immaculate of Mary Children's House can

feature their school without the needs of fliers or poster, just simply opening the application, they

can advertise the school. The features of the school is inputted to the system and can be change

or edited by the administrator.

II. Background of the Study

The mobile phone industry has been developing and growing rapidly during the last

couple of years. Old mobile devices with limited capabilities are being replaced by new and

advanced mobile technology supporting a wide range of mobile services. A mobile application

(mobile app) is a software application designed to run on smartphones, tablet computers, and

mobile devices. “Mobile app” has become a very familiar term in the world today. The

popularity of mobile applications has continued to rise, as their usage has become increasingly

prevalent across mobile phone users. Public demand of mobile apps and the availability of

sophisticated developer tools, libraries, and frameworks have made mobile app development

easy, fast and productive. Mobile apps can facilitate users with a wide range of services besides

normal phone functionality such as GPS, mobile games, banking, online ticketing and many

more.

III. Statement of the problem

This study seeks to answer the following problems:

1. Can the application be beneficial to the school?

2. Can you manage to update the information in your mobile application?

3. What are the advantages of being a mobile application?

IV. Hypothesis

Ho: There is no significant difference between manual information and information

system (mobile base).

H1:There is significant difference between manual information and information system

(mobile base).

V. Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework that will be used in the study is the Input-Process-Output

Model. In the IPO model, a process is viewed as a series of boxes (processing elements)

connected by inputs and outputs. Information or material objects flow through a series of task or

activities based on a set of rules or description points. Flow charts and process diagrams are

often used to represent the process. What goes in the input; what causes the change is the

process; what comes out is the output. The IPO model will provide the general structure and

guide for the direction of study.

The Input-Process-Output Model also known as the IPO+S Model is a functional model

and conceptual schema of a general system. And IPO chart identifies a program's inputs, it's

output, and the processing steps required to transform the inputs into the outputs.

The IPO model has many interdisciplinary applications, and is used to convey system

fundamentals in IT overview education and as a brainstorming, preliminary investigation tool in

systems development processes. It consists of at least three, and sometimes four, distinct

components. In contemporary Information Technology, it is almost always discussed as a three

model in which the fourth is a named optional.

The components of the IPO model are defined as:

 Input - The information, ideas, and resources used

 Processing - Actions taken upon/using input or stored material

 Output - Results of the processing that then exit the system

 Storage - refers to secondary storage

VI. Conceptual Framework
The researcher designed Information System (mobile base). using Adobe Animation. The

study is a fitted to what the school needs. It aims to help the advertising of the school.

VIII. Scope and Limitation of the Study

This focuses on the features of the Little Angels Immaculate of Mary Children's House

only. This is designed to fulfill the advertisement and information of the school. This system is

not connected online. This application may be change based on the administrator.

IX. Significance of the Study

This search will be beneficial to the following:
Little Angels Immaculate of Mary Children's - the study will benefit this school since it will
lessen the workload of the administrator or anyone who would like to promote the school. With
this system, advertising the school will be very easy.
Researcher - This study honed the researcher's programming skills and made him appreciate
more importance of information system.
To the Future Researchers – This study will help the future researchers to have an initial idea

on what topic to choose and a guide if they have the same topic as this research and contribute
knowledge on how to make a mobile application. The researchers the project serves as a basis of

the study. It will help to improve the knowledge in new technology and also encourages every

individual to make mobile application.
