A time attendance tracking method is provided by which a hand-held device is set as a primary device or a secondary device based on inherent mobile identity of the hand-held device and operable in either a first mode or a second mode. The first mode permits the user to clock-in or clock-out for attendance recording for the user tied account while the second mode restricts the user to clock-in or clock-out for attendance recording for the user tied account.

A time and attendance recording system comprising a computing apparatus in communication with a database, which stores a plurality of registered user identities and each registered user identity is tied to an account; a time clock, connected to the computing apparatus, configured to send a user identity to the computing apparatus upon receiving the user identity from a user and the sent user identity is tagged with a timestamp recording the time and date which the user identity is received; wherein the computing apparatus is operative to verify the sent user identity against the registered user identities; determine an attendance status, check-in or check-out, of the user by comparing the tagged timestamp against a predetermined time interval which is assigned with the attendance status, characterized in that the attendance status in the system is free from user intervention. No Illustration For Abstract.

This disclosure describes an attendance system comprising a target device installed at a location that has a NFC tag and a processor; a mobile device incorporated with NFC module having a unique identification information of a user, and configured to communicate with the target device through performing an action to bring the NFC module in close proximity with the NFC tag when the user checks in or out from the location; and a central station defining at least a server wirelessly connected to the processor with a database for storing data related to the attendance event, identification information of the user and location of the target device; wherein the mobile device is incorporated with a positioning module for detecting position of the user such that the attendance event is recorded when the position of the user matches with the location of the target device that defines an allowable user position which is preset using the positioning module and stored in the database, and the unique identification information from the NFC module corresponds with the identification information of the user that is saved in the database.

A system for collecting and transferring electronic information comprising: one or more servers (200), having one or more centralized databases for storing and/or retrieving the data, connected to a network (500); one or more computing devices (300) connected to the servers (200) via the network (500) for retrieving the data from the centralized databases; a plurality of biometric devices (100) connected to the servers via the network (500), located at different locations, and each biometric device (100) comprises: means for identifying users based on biometric data of the users; means for storing the biometric data and activity information of the users; and means for sending the biometric data and activity information to the servers (200), in communication with the servers (200) in real time via the network (500); characterized in that the biometric devices (100) are configured to identify a user based on the biometric data, and collect activity information of the user, following which real time activity information together with the corresponding biometric data of the user is sent to the servers (200) based on HTTP PUSH protocol; wherein the activity information and the biometric data of the users are stored in the centralized databases of the servers (200) and are enabled to be retrieved by the computing devices (300).

The present invention discloses a biometric device (1) incorporated with an android platform for time and attendance application, the biometric device (1) comprising: one or more biometric sensing module (2, 3) for receiving biometric and time attendance data of an user; an attendance module (10) integrated with one or more predetermined rules for organizing and managing the received data in a way such that the organized data can be directly used in payroll calculation and generation of attendance report; a scheduling module (11) for managing and implementing the predetermined rules; a duty rosters module (12) configured to receive information relating to duty rosters, holidays, and leaves from the user, and to transmit the received information to the scheduling module (11); a payroll module (14) for calculating paychecks of the user based on the organized data; a reporting module (15) configured to generate attendance reports and to export the generated attendance reports in a designated form; and a display module (16) for displaying the outputs of the modules.

The present invention discloses a method for automatically recording time attendance of a user comprising the steps of: accepting, by a biometric device, biometric data and entry time data of the user; transmitting, by the biometric device, the accepted data to a processor via a communication network; comparing, by the processor, the accepted data with those stored in a database to identify the user and a corresponding working schedule of the user; applying, by the processor, a set of predefined rules based on the working schedule of the user to a time attendance template of the user; and organizing, by the processor, the entry time data of the user into the time attendance template of the user.

The present invention discloses a method for electronic attendance recording including at least one mobile device, comprises the steps of activating a local positioning system of the mobile device to acquire position information of the mobile device; and determining movements of the mobile device based on the acquired position information; characterised in that in the event that the mobile device passes through at least one boundary pre-defined by geo-fencing technique, it causes the mobile device to temporarily activate an indoor positioning system or a global positioning system for retrieving position information with higher accuracy than the local positioning system, and then generates an attendance record based on the retrieved position information.

The present invention discloses a system and method for recording electronic attendance, the method comprises the following steps in the sequence set forth: establishing, by a mobile device, a communication link between a server and the mobile device; activating, an application of the mobile device via an verification process; upon activation of the application, detecting and identifying, by the application, a checkpoint station carrying information relating to a checkpoint identifier; establishing, by the mobile device, a communication link between the checkpoint station and the mobile device for data transmission; reading, by the application, information relating to the checkpoint identifier from the checkpoint station; generating, by the application, an encrypted attendance record; transmitting, by the application, the encrypted attendance record to the server via the communication network; decrypting, by a decoder of the server, the encrypted attendance record; and updating, by the server, the record to an attendance report of an account.
