As an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic employee card 10, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present invention, the control module 100 may control the communication module 101 to transmit the identifying information of an electronic employee card holder acquired in real time to the server. After receiving the identifying information, the server compares the identifying information with the personnel identity information prestored in the server, to generate a comparing result.
In an another embodiment of the present invention, the control module may obtain the prestored personnel identity information in the server and compare it with the identifying information of an electronic employee card holder acquired in real time to generate the comparing result.
Specifically, the electronic employee card 10 is in data communication with the server, mainly via the control module 100 and the communication module 101 in the card. The control module 100 is mainly provided with responsibility for controlling normal operation of the electronic employee card. In an embodiment, it controls, such as, a data communication between the communication module 101 and the server. The communication module 101 is implemented for data transmission. In an embodiment, the communication module 101 performs the data transmission when the electronic employee card 10 is in data communication with the server. The server that is configured to be in data communication with the electronic employee card 10 may prestore some data information, for example, the personnel identity information of the electronic employee card holder, and may prestore the personnel identity information of all of holders of electronic employee cards, which may be in data communication with the server. For example, a server of a company may store personnel identity information of all staff in the company. For example, when an electronic employee card holder enter a certain region of a company, the communication module 101 of the electronic employee card 10 performs a data communication with the server of the company, such that the server of the company may automatically validate the electronic employee card and its holder having entered the company from the exterior, such as being on duty in the morning, so as to achieve checking on work attendance.
It will be appreciated that the personnel identity information includes person data information including personnel identity information of the electronic employee card holder, such as name, gender, person photo, duty job and the like. The personnel identity information of each user is in a one-to-one correspondence with respective identifying information. For example, a company includes ten employees and each of them has his/her respective personnel identity information that is in a one-to-one correspondence with respective identifying information.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the control module 100 may obtain prestored personnel identity information of an electronic employee card holder from the server while capturing in real time identifying information of the electronic employee card holder, when it is in data communication with a server via the communication module 101. After acquiring the prestored person information of the electronic employee card holder, the control module 100 may compare the prestored personnel identity information with the identifying information acquired in real time and generate a comparing result.
The control module and the communication module are provided in the electronic employee card provided according to embodiments of the present invention, such that the control module may be in data communication with an exterior server via the communication module and may control the electronic employee card to acquire in real time some identifying information, so as to compare the prestored personnel identity information with the identifying information acquired in real time to finally determine whether or not the person identity of the electronic employee card holder is valid. If the identifying information matches with the personnel identity information, successfully checking on work attendance is determined. If the personnel identity information does not match with the identifying information, unsuccessfully checking on work attendance is determined.
From this, the electronic employee card enables checking on work attendance of its holder without providing other apparatus or device for cooperation and thus may achieve advantages of flexibility and convenience.
In the present invention, there is no specific requirement on the comparison between the personnel identity information and the identifying information. For example, as an example, the personnel identity information may include the identifying information that is in an one-to-one correspondence with the personnel identity information. The control module 100 may compare the identifying information acquired in real time with the identifying information of the personnel identity information obtained from the server, and generate a matched comparing result when they are in consistent with each other.
