US 10,255,642 B2 · Display-card for time management purpose

Abstract

A display-card is disclosed for time management purpose, including a display; a clock defining a current date and time; a memory; an internal power supply; and a communication device. The memory includes a user identifier, setup information and time information. The time information includes at least a current time counter and a status information defining an active or an inactive state, the active state enabling the update with the clock of the current time counter and the inactive state disabling the update of the current time counter. The display-card further includes a receiver/transmitter to receive, via the communication device, a command to initiate the change of the status information from active to inactive state, or inactive to active state, and an actuator to initiate the display of at least the current time counter.

Dependent claims

A display-card for time management, the display-card comprising:

a display;
a clock defining a current date and time;
a memory;
an internal power supply;
said memory comprising a user identifier (ID), setup information and time information,
said time information comprising at least a current time counter (CTC) and status information,
said status information defining whether a status of the display-card is an active state or an inactive state,
the active state enabling an update of the CTC based on the clock and the inactive state disabling the update of the CTC;
a receiver/transmitter configured to receive a command to initiate a change of the status information from the active state to the inactive state, or from the inactive state to the active state;
and
an actuator configured to initiate displaying, by the display, of at least the CTC.

A method to give access remotely to a current time counter (CTC) of a display-card, said CTC representing a current active working time per day managed by a management center connected to a remote terminal, said terminal being able to communicate wirelessly with the display-card, said display-card including a display, a clock defining a current date and time, a memory, and an internal power supply and at least one communication device, said memory including a user identifier (ID), setup information and time information, said time information including at least a CTC and status information, said status information defining whether a status of the display-card is an active state or an inactive state, said method comprising:

receiving by the display-card an init command from the remote terminal via the communication device, said init command setting the status to the active state and resetting the CTC;
updating the CTC with the clock while the status is the active state;
receiving a hold command from the remote terminal, said hold command setting the status into the inactive state and disabling the updating of the CTC by the clock;
receiving an un-hold command from the remote terminal, said un-hold command setting the status to the active state and enabling the updating of the CTC by the clock;
and
requesting the display of the CTC through an at least one actuator on the display-card, and displaying the CTC on the display of the display of the display-card.
