Description

The system of accounting and control of working hours

The utility model relates to computer technology, in particular, to electronic-software systems designed to register the real time of arrival / departure of employees to work with subsequent monitoring and taking into account the working time of personnel located at distance monitoring objects.

The known system of automatic recording of working hours of personnel "Integra-SKD" (see the catalog "SKUD.Anterrorism-2005, p. 74".

Recording the time of arrival and departure of each employee and his movement around the facility allows you to keep track of time worked, overtime lateness, schedule violations, etc. Each employee and visitor receives a Proximite identifier - a card with an individual code. The identification code, information about the card holder and access level is entered by the pass office employee in a special database. Access to the premises is permitted when the card is brought to the reader with the subsequent transfer of information to the controller. The system includes: a central server, readers, controllers, light-sound indication systems, electromechanical locking equipment, video cameras for monitoring the presentation of cards. Converter of interfaces with galvanic isolation (RS-232 RS-485).

The disadvantage of this system is the very limited buffer of the controller events memory; the information transfer speed is also low (RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces are used).

A known system for monitoring the use of working time (application for a patent of Russia No. 2007121025 dated 04.06.2007), which contains a software and hardware complex with automated workstations, a server, an administrative zone with a personal administration computer. Each workstation includes hardware and software, the hardware includes a WEB camera connected to the employee’s personal computer, capacitive and infrared sensors, which are connected through the converters to the employee’s personal computer. The software part includes the Krot-client software, configured to receive and process signals from sensors and send the results to a server including the Krot-server software, which provides the possibility of creating a database and interaction with the administration’s personal computer, the Krot software -monitor ”provides reading information from the database and viewing the current status of the employee.

This system provides control of the use of staff time only within the framework of one enterprise (locally).

The closest in technical essence to the proposed utility model is the "System for recording working time based on biometric identification (options)" (Russian patent for utility model No. 51430 of 04/28/2005).

The known system consists of a terminal containing a reader and a controller connected to a light-sound indication unit, an actuator connected to the controller and a control object, and a server connected to a network adapter (message transmitter). The reader is made optoelectronic. The network adapter is located in the fingerprint processing unit (information processing unit) and is connected to the server using a high-speed interface. On the front panel of the optoelectronic reader, buttons for requesting “input” and “output” are installed. As a device for acquiring and fixing an image, a video camera is used, connected to a fingerprint information unit (information processing unit) using digital (USB) or analog communication and is intended for visual monitoring of control zones.

A feature of the first option is that the reader is optoelectronic, and a fingerprint processing unit is connected to the reader and controller, and the network adapter is integrated into the fingerprint processing unit.

The second option represents two interconnected circuits of the first option, that is, we get two versions of the controller in one system, which leads to a rise in the cost of the system as a whole.

The known system has the following disadvantages.

- The system may contain one or two video cameras installed outside the controller, which are wired to the terminal, which requires special installation and configuration of the video camera (camera calibration and adjustment of the viewing angle), a setup failure reduces the reliability of the system.

- The buttons for requesting “input” and “output” installed on the front panel of the optoelectronic reader are subject to increased mechanical stress during operation of the system and often fail, which reduces the reliability of the system and requires additional costs.

- The use of a biometric scanner can cause a lot of emergency situations related to damage or contamination of the fingers of employees, which leads to a malfunction of the system and its reliability in operation.

Therefore, the above arguments of the known system of accounting and control of working time contribute to reducing the reliability of this system in operation.

The technical result of the proposed technical solution is to create, reliable and efficient in operation, an electronic software system for recording and controlling working time, by increasing the reliability of the terminal.

The above task, and the specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the system of accounting and control of working time, consisting of a terminal containing a controller with a reader associated with the block of light and sound indication, a device for receiving and fixing the image associated with the information processing unit, located in it, a timer and a message transmitter for communication via the Internet with a data collection and processing server. According to the proposed utility model, an additional reader connected to the th light and sound information, wherein, contactless readers performed in the terminal, as a device for receiving and capturing the image, the camera is installed, an information transmitter configured as a radio, and a timer connected to the memory cells and message shaper installed in the information processing unit.

The figure 1 presents a block diagram of a system for accounting and control of working time, consisting of a terminal containing a controller for accounting of working hours 1 connected to the information processing unit 2, transmitting the results to a data collection and processing server 3.

The controller contains a power supply 4, two readers 5 and 6, in the form of an inductor connected to a light and sound indication unit 7, a camera 8 and an antenna 9, through which information is transmitted via the Internet 10 to a message receiver 11 entering the database 12 .

The message transmission unit contains a signal decoder 13 connected to the coils of readers 5 and 6, which ensure the receipt and accumulation of information in memory cells 14. The reader 5, in turn, is connected to the clock 15 and to the camera 8. Information from the memory cells 14, according to the timer signal 16 enters the message generator 17, where it is processed (encoding) and then the encoded information is transmitted to the message sender 18 and then enters the message transmitter 19, made in the form of a radio module for communication via the Internet. Through the Internet 10 information enters the message receiver 11, connected to the database 12, located on the server for collecting and processing data 3.

The system operates as follows.

Cards containing radio frequency tags with a unique code are handed out to staff. When entering or leaving the controlled room, employees attach a card with a unique code to the reader 5. Coils of readers are constantly waiting for a contactless card to be presented. In the case of bringing a contactless card, the coil generates a signal that is transmitted to the signal decoder 13 located in the information processing unit 2. Signal decoder 13 activates the ultrasonic indication unit 7. The signal decoder 13 also converts the electrical signal of the reader coil into a unique contactless card identifier and stores the obtained digital value in the memory cells 14.

At the same time, signal decoder 13

- saves in the same memory cells 14;

- the number of the reader from which the signal comes depending on the type of events - the beginning or end of the employee's work;

- current time value from 15 hours

- initiates the process of photographing and saving photos in the same memory cells 14.

The timer 16 constantly counts a certain time interval and after this interval initiates the process of transferring the accumulated data from the memory cell 14 to the message shaper 17. At the same time, the timer 16 initiates sending data to the server 3 via the Internet 10 without allocating a static IP address. The message generator 17 prepares (encodes) the data and transmits the processed data through the message sender 18 to the message transmitter 19, made in the form of a radio module, while the message sender 18 configures the radio module for communication with the data collection and processing server 3 and through the Internet 10, transmits an information message to the radio module and controls the fact of message delivery to server 3.

Server 3 decodes the received message and stores the following information in database 12:

- The unique number of the monitoring accounting controller that sent the message;

- The number of the reader to which the card was brought;

- Unique number of each brought up contactless tag;

- The time of presentation of each contactless card to the reader;

- A photograph of each person bringing contactless cards to the reader.

According to the information collected in database 12, there is a tracking of the movement of employees of enterprises, their accounting and control.

The proposed system of accounting and control of working time has the following advantages:

- Using the camera as a device for receiving and fixing the image allows you to increase the speed of processing the accumulated information in case of violations of the rules for using the card (transfer to third parties)

- Installing the camera inside the terminal does not require special installation and adjustment (camera calibration and adjustment of the viewing angle), which eliminates the additional time costs, and improves reliability and ease of use of the system.

- The installation of two contactless readers in the controller increases the reliability of the system by eliminating the “input” and “output” buttons, which are subjected to increased mechanical stresses during operation of the system and often fail.

- Using a wireless connection of the information processing unit with the server provides the ability to record and control working time, not only within the framework of one enterprise (building).

- The connection of the timer with the memory cells and the shaper eliminates the need to allocate a static IP address by the wireless Internet service provider, which increases the reliability of the transmission of the message itself.

In this case, the timer counts down a certain time interval and initiates the process of transmitting the accumulated data with the formation of a message with a unique observation accounting number, manages the transmission of information and finds the destination (server) itself.

- Introduction to the radio module system eliminates the need for cabling between the terminal and the server, which increases the reliability of data transmission.

All of the above improvements, in general, increase the reliability of the proposed system of accounting and control of working time during its operation.
