  • the transmitter 36 may comprise two or more distinct transmission areas 40a, 40b on a transmission display 42 such as a CRT or a flat panel display such as an LCD or plasma display, as shown in more detail in Figure 3.
  • Data is transmitted via the transmission areas 40a, 40b by the periodic transition of pixels in the transmission areas 40a, 40b between dark and light colours, such as black and white.
  • the light sources may be LEDs or ordinary lamps transmitting data in a similar manner. It will be appreciated that other known methods of data transfer may be used.
  • the communications interface 36 is set up between the attendance device 10 and the server 12.

  • the registration packet may contain the following information:
  • Each locationID is unique to one of the set of the devices linked to a particular manager (company, entity, body corporate etc).
  • An encryption key which is unique to the manager's set of devices All devices calibrated in connection with a distinct manager may be calibrated with the same encryption key.
  • Each encryption key may be linked to a single manager so as to be used only on devices linked to that single manager.
  • private/public key encryption may be used to increase the security of the encrypted data.
  • Each device may be supplied with one of a set of public encryption keys, the set unique to the manager's set of device.
  • a single key for decryption may then be kept by the manager and, for example, stored at the server 12, as will be described in further detail below.
  • a double encryption technique may be used in which the data is encrypted twice by the attendance device 10 and subsequently decrypted at the server 12 using a two stage process, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the server 12 transmits two encryption keys to the attendance device 10; a primary encryption key and a secondary encryption key.
  • the primary encryption key is unique to the manager.
  • the secondary encryption key is one of a set of secondary encryption keys also unique to the manager, a particular secondary key chosen at random from the set and transmitted to the attendance device 10.
  • the server 12 then links the chosen secondary encryption key with the locationID of the attendance device 10 to which it was sent, and stores the link.
  • the processor 14 stores these variables in the memory 16.
  • the locationID and encryption key may be stored in EEPROM or other non-volatile memory whilst the counter value may be stored in volatile memory such as RAM.
  • a counter offset for reset of the counter 22 to a predetermined value may, by default, be set to zero.
  • the counter offset may be a random number within the counter's 22 range, generated by and stored on the server 12.
  • the processor 14 then offsets the counter 22 by the value of the counter offset.
  • the counter 22 is synchronised with a system time of the server 12 offset by a known time period. Since the offset is known only to the server 12, the level of encryption of the time/date information to which the counter value relates is further increased.
  • a size of the offset is small compared to the size of the counter's 22 range. For example, for a 21 bit counter, an 8 bit offset seed may be used. This may decreases the registration time since less information needs to be transferred across the communications interface 38.
  • the attendance device 10 may be mounted to a wall or other surface at a site location.
  • the design of the device's 10 casing is so as to inhibit the device from being opened or dismounted without damage to the device 10.
  • the mounting screws may be tamperproof allowing only tightening of the fixing to a surface.
  • the moulding may be click sealed once the calibration process has been completed.
  • the attendance device 10 preferably has no user serviceable parts.
  • the internal power source may be replaceable by a manager or an authorised person such as a maintenance engineer.
  • the internal power source is preferably chosen to last for the device's 10 entire service period, which may correspond to the time range of the counter 22.
  • the counter 22 is configured to monitor time elapsed from a particular time reference, stored on the server 12.
  • the counter 22 may be a 21-bit counter having a time resolution of one or two minutes. With a two minute resolution, the time range of the counter is 2x2 21 (4,194,303) minutes - approximately 8 years. Thus the internal power source may be chosen with an 8 year service period in mind.
  • the counter 22 may be a wraparound counter such that its value returns to zero after reaching its maximum value of 2 22 .
  • the value of the counter 22 at any particular time can be determined and, vice versa, the time for any particular instantaneous value of the counter 22 can be determined.
  • Using a counter 22 to monitor elapsed time provides several advantages. Whereas prior art attendance devices store comprehensive time and date information with high granularity for encryption of location and time information, the inventor has realised that valuable memory can be used up by the large variable length of standard 32 or 64 bit system time. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the attendance code 36 is advantageously kept short so that a contractor can easily record the attendance code 36 at a site location with minimal error.
  • the attendance device 10 may optionally extract or monitor a value of the level of charge left in the battery. This level may be stored in the memory 16 or extracted when required by the processor 14. A small number of bits of the 40 bit display capacity may be used to encrypt an indication of the level of the battery or simply, using a single bit, an indication that the battery charge is running low, so that a manager can keep track of the battery level of each of his devices in each location. In such cases, a reduction in size of either the locationID, counter or checksum may be made. For example, figure 6 shows a configuration in which the size of the checksum has been reduced to 4 bits to make room for a 1 bit battery indication.
  • the number of bits allocated to each of the counter 22, locationID, checksum may by chosen at the managers discretion. For example, where fewer devices are required and thus a smaller number of unique locationlDs are required, the locationID can be made smaller leaving room for a larger counter, checksum, or battery indicator value. Equally, if the capacity of the counter is increased, counter granularity can be reduced, thus increasing the accuracy of monitoring of contractors while the time range of the counter is maintained. It will, however, be appreciated that an increase in size of one variable will lead to a compromise in the size of another. Such choices depend on the requirements of the manager. It will also be appreciated that with larger displays the number of encryptable bits will increase.
  • the attendance device 10 Once the attendance device 10 has been installed at a site location, it is ready for operation.
  • the device may generate an attendance code on activation of the optional user input 24.
  • the attendance device 10 may periodically update the display 18 to display an up to date attendance code based on the current value of the counter 22 and the locationlD.
  • the processor may load 50 the current counter value, locationlD and encryption key(s) from the memory 16. Based on the counter value and the locationlD, a checksum is optionally generated using any known method.
  • the processor 14 can encrypt an encryption packet comprising the counter value, location ID optional checksum and optional battery level indication, examples of which are shown in Figures 5 and 6, into an 8 digit alphanumeric code 36 and displayed 54 on the display device 18.
  • the attendance device 10 encrypts, at step 57, some but not all of the bits of the encryption packet using the stored primary encryption key. For example, the attendance device 10 may encrypt 2 bytes (16 bits) out of the 5 byte registration packet. The attendance device 10 may then perform a second encryption at step 58 using the secondary encryption key, in which some but not all of the bits of the encryption packet are encrypted. The result is a registration packet in which all of the bits have been encrypted at least once using the primary encryption key, and some have been encrypted twice using both the primary and secondary encryption keys. Bits which have only been encrypted using the primary encryption key contain data relating to the locationlD. the 8 digit alphanumeric code 36 is then displayed 54 on the display device 18.
  • the counter value may be stored in nonvolatile memory. Then, on subsequent generations of attendance codes, the current counter value can be checked against stored counter values to ensure that an attendance code is never issued twice. The attendance device 10 may not issue a code if the current counter value matches on of the counter values stored in the non-volatile memory.
  • the steps shown in Figures 7 or 8 may be performed in real time, at set time periods, or in respond to user input.
  • the contractor may then record the attendance code 36 so that he/she can subsequently confirm his attendance at a site location.
  • the contractor may pass these codes by way of electronic transmission or any other known method either back to the associated manager or directly to the server 12 together with his identity and preferably the identity of his manager.
  • Attendance codes may be recorded on site using a handheld device such as a smart phone and sent in real time to the manager or server 12 via a wireless communications network.
  • the server 12 may receive 60 an attendance code together with information concerning the identify of the contractor and/or identity of his associated manager using any suitable method. So that the server 12 can choose the correct decryption key, which correspond to the encryption key used to encrypt the original locationID, counter value and optional checksum and battery level indicator, one of a) the contractors identity and b) the manager's identity must be known. Once the server 12 has identified the manager and associated decryption key, the attendance code can be decrypted 62, and the locationID, counter value and optional checksum and battery level indicator extracted.
  • Figure 10 shows an alternative method of decryption where a double key encryption is adopted. Like steps have been accorded like reference numerals.
  • the encrypted attendance code is a product of encryption using both of the primary and secondary encryption codes. Decryption may be performed as follows. The identity of the manager is verified as described above with referenced to Figure 9. The manger's unique primary encryption key can therefore be ascertained which may then be used to perform the first part 68 of decryption of the attendance code. At this point, the server 12 may then extract 70 part or all of the locationID from part decrypted attendance code since these parts have only been encrypted once, using the primary encryption key.
  • the server 12 may fetch 72 the secondary encryption key, which was linked to the extracted locationID on registration, and subsequently complete the second and final step of encryption of the attendance code using the secondary encryption key, thus extracting the remaining information - counter value and optional checksum and battery level indicator - as described above with reference to Figure 9.
  • a number of verification steps 66 may be performed on the decrypted elements 64. Firstly, if a checksum has been used, the server 12 may recompute the checksum of the decrypted locationID and counter value and compare the recomputed checksum with the decrypted checksum to determine the validity of the decryption. If the checksums match, there is a high chance that the attendance code is authentic and error free, so no further verification may be necessary. However, there is a small chance of a false positive. Accordingly, further checks may further checked alongside decrypted attendance codes having non matching checksums. In the event that the calculated checksums do not match, the decryption may be marked as "bad" and stored for subsequent analysis.
  • the extracted counter value may be analysed to check that the time/date it relates to is between the time of registration of the device and the current time. Equally, the extracted locationID may be checked to see whether it appears on the server.
  • a near miss analysis may then be performed on "bad" decryptions.
  • the expected time/date and location of a contractor at a particular time can be input by a manager.
  • the server 12 may then calculate expected attendance codes over a time period centred on the expected time and date of attendance. For example, where a contractor was due to arrive at a site location at 12.15 am, 3/1/2013, expected attendance codes for the period of 12 pm - 12.30 pm on 3/1/2013 may be generated. In addition codes having with substituted letters representing common typographical errors can also be generated.
  • the server 12 may then compare the expected attendance codes with the "bad" attendance code to find near matches.
  • the server 12 may then record near matches and a probability that the "bad" code was simply a user error or typographical mistake. Any other suitable near miss technique known in the art may be used.
  • Extracted information from validated attendance codes may then be analysed.
  • the time at which the contractor visited the site location and recorded the attendance code 36 can be calculated. Accordingly, a manager can determine the time at which the contractor was at the site location. Furthermore, if the manager has instructed the contractor to record attendance codes on arrival and departure from the site, the manager has a comprehensive record of the time the contractor spent at that site location.
  • the battery level indicator can also be analysed to determine whether the battery is low in an attendance device 10 and if so, indicate that a manager or an authorised person may be required to replace the battery.
  • the server 12 is preferably provided with a database (not shown) to store all collected data concerning managers and associated contractors such that information regarding attendance can be accessed and analysed, and reports generated in real time or at a later date.
  • the processor 14 of the attendance device may have a system time.
  • the system time of the attendance device is stored in the memory 16.
  • a counter value is generated by subtracting the current system time from the system time stored in the memory 16, which corresponds to the time of registration of the attendance device 10 with the server 12 and then scaling the product to a resolution of, for example, one or two minutes.
  • the calculated counter value is thus equivalent to the counter value generated by the counter 22 described above, providing the same benefits over standard time/date encryption as those discussed above in relation to the counter 22 generated counter value.
