La presente invention concerne un dispositif de gestion d'informations temporelles et spatiales destine particulierement au  The present invention relates to a device for managing temporal and spatial information intended in particular for

pointage du travail.pointing work.

Ce dispositif est notamment utile pour une entreprise pour le pointage du travail d'une flotte de salaries afin de pointer a la fois les heures de travail effectivement effectuees par les salaries mais aussi egalement la localisation geographique des salaries aux instants de pointage. On conna^t dans l'art anterieur de nombreux systemes de pointage temporel. On conna^t notamment l'utilisation de cartes perforees ou de badges magnetiques qui repondent tous au meme principe qui est celui pour l'utilisateur de valider physiquement sur site sa presence en pointant sur une machine enregistreuse statique et fixe. Ces systemes de pointage permettent de valider, que sur un lieu dit precis le porteur du systeme de s pointage a fait acte de presence dans une plage de temps mesuree. Ces systemes de pointage repondent tous au mOme principe qui est de disposer fixe un dispositif enregistreur, qui peut etre localise dans une armoire, dans un portique ou dans un tourniquet solidarise au sol, qui enregistre les allees et venues de personnel munies chacune d'un zo dispositif identifiant comme une carte ou un badge. Ces systemes de - pointage permettent done de mesurer sur un site fixe ['ensemble des . plages de temps variables de pointage d'une population dtindividus  This device is particularly useful for a company for the pointing of the work of a fleet of employees in order to point both the hours of work actually worked by the employees but also also the geographic location of the employees at the times of pointing. We know in the prior art many time-tracking systems. We know in particular the use of perforated cards or magnetic badges which all respond to the same principle which is that for the user to physically validate his presence on site by pointing to a static and fixed recording machine. These pointing systems make it possible to validate that, at a specific location, the wearer of the pointing system has made an appearance within a measured time range. These pointing systems all respond to the same principle which is to have a fixed recording device, which can be located in a cabinet, in a gantry or in a turnstile secured to the ground, which records the comings and goings of personnel each provided with a zo device identifying as a card or badge. These pointing systems therefore make it possible to measure on a fixed site the set of. Variable time ranges for tallying a population of individuals

munis chacun d'un identifant personnalise.  each provided with a personalized identifier.

On connait aussi le brevet n 2791794 qui concerne un procede et un dispositif de gestion d'informations temporelles qui perfectianne l'art anterieur. Ce dispositif propose un dispositif d'enregistrement compose d'une pluralite de bornes de tailles reduites, de facon notamment a ce que les bornes puissent etre transportees facilement, toutes les bornes etant calees dans le temps sur une origine unique et etant gerees par un logiciel d'exploitation commun, les informations recueillies par les bornes etant ensuite transferees sur un micro ordinateur. Ce dispositif permet done de disposer en de nombreux endroits de bornes de pointage afin de pouvoir repondre a la gestion de ressources humaines repartis sur plusieurs positions geographiques distinctes. Par rapport a l'art anterieur, ce brevet apporte la nouveaute de la gestion d'informations de pointage par une pluralite de bornes statiques de petites tailles, toutes les bornes etant gerees par un logiciel d'exploitation commun, ['ensemble des informations etant traitees par un logiciel specifique et eventuellement transmises au moyen de l'Internet a un ordinateur central. Ce brevet propose done un systeme de pointage temporel, les bornes de pointage  We also know the patent n 2791794 which relates to a process and a device for managing temporal information which perfects the prior art. This device offers a recording device composed of a plurality of terminals of reduced sizes, in particular so that the terminals can be transported easily, all the terminals being wedged in time on a single origin and being managed by software. of common use, the information collected by the terminals then being transferred to a microcomputer. This device therefore makes it possible to have pointing machines in numerous places in order to be able to respond to the management of human resources distributed over several distinct geographic positions. Compared to the prior art, this patent brings the novelty of the management of pointing information by a plurality of static terminals of small sizes, all the terminals being managed by a common operating software, ['all the information being processed by specific software and possibly transmitted via the Internet to a central computer. This patent therefore proposes a time pointing system, the pointing terminals

o etant transportables et toutes calees sur un referential de temps commun.  o being transportable and all wedged on a common time referential.

Selon un aspect de ['invention, le dispositif de localisation spatio temporel est un terminal recepteur d'un reseau satellitaire de positionnement du type NAVS TAR GPS ou du type GLONASS. La reception des signaux d'au moins kois satellites NAVSTAR GPS ou GLONASS permet au dispositif de localisation de calculer par triangulation la position en latitude et longitude sur le globe, la reception d'un quatrieme satellite donnant avec precision ltheure a laquelle la localisation a ete effectuee. Cette localisation spatio-temporel est enregiskee dans la memoire du dispositif d'enregistrement. L'invention selon cet aspect permet done de localiser avec une exkeme precision la  According to one aspect of the invention, the space-time location device is a receiver terminal of a satellite positioning network of the NAVS TAR GPS type or of the GLONASS type. The reception of signals from at least three NAVSTAR GPS or GLONASS satellites allows the localization device to calculate by triangulation the position in latitude and longitude on the globe, the reception of a fourth satellite giving precisely the time at which the localization was performed. This spatio-temporal location is recorded in the memory of the recording device. The invention according to this aspect therefore makes it possible to locate with exkeme precision the

Les reseaux de telecommunication stappuient en effet sur un maillage de cellules relais qui recoivent et emettent vers les terminaux mobiles sur une surface de cellule determinee. Lorsqu'un utilisateur emet, il donne sa position dans le sens ou il indique au reseau a l'interieur du perimetre d'emission de queue cellule il se trouve. L'invention selon cet aspect offre une precision de pointage moindre que la precision de pointage du GPS qui positionne au metre pres mais toutefois avec une precision de quelques centaines de  According to another aspect of the invention, the space-time location device is a receiving terminal of a telecommunication network of the UMTS or GSM type. Telecommunication networks rely on a network of relay cells which receive and transmit to mobile terminals over a determined cell surface. When a user transmits, he gives his position in the direction in which he indicates to the network inside the transmission perimeter of the tail cell that he is. The invention according to this aspect offers a pointing accuracy less than the pointing accuracy of the GPS which positions to the nearest meter but nevertheless with an accuracy of a few hundred

In this context, the invention allows spatio-temporal pointing. This concerns business executives but also maintenance agents, electricity, roads, and others. The invention also finds its application for the more particular cases of public works which are often found in isolated places and not covered by telecommunication networks and therefore particularly interested in the GPS application. In addition to its function of time clock, the invention also opens up new functions such as that of providing an identifier to each worker. This identifier is useful in the context of new functions such as that of control over labor legislation. The invention could also favorably improve the management of the customer relationship for companies working directly at the customer, and thus offer the customer an instrument for controlling the hours of work.
