Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for managing a workforce working from a single or multiple locations through software and hardware components integrated under a modular solution for workforce management tasks, such as worker's biometric recognition, hiring, enrollment, time and attendance capturing, access control, tracking and managing schedules, overtime, leaves, holidays, absence, breaks, official and personal time-outs, trainings, assets, vehicles and transport, work orders and tasks, payroll and performance management, and reporting.
Claims30
A method of performing workforce management, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a biometric scanning device, a plurality of biometric templates, wherein each of the plurality of biometric templates is associated with an individual;
- storing, by the biometric scanning device, the plurality of biometric templates to an internal memory;
- switching, by the biometric scanning device, to a detection mode;
- capturing, by the biometric scanning device, an image of a subject;
- processing, by the biometric scanning device, the image to identify a face;
- processing, by the biometric scanning device, the image to identify an eye included in the identified face;
- comparing, by the biometric scanning device, the identified face to at least one of the plurality of biometric templates stored on the internal memory to identify a first match;
- comparing, by the biometric scanning device, the identified eye to at least one of the plurality of biometric templates stored on the internal memory to identify a second match;
- comparing, by the biometric scanning device, the first match and the second match to determine an identity of the subject;
- and
- when an identity of the subject is determined, outputting, by biometric scanning device, information.
The method of claim 12, wherein comparing the first match and the second match to determine an identity of the subject includes:
- determining if the second match is the same as one of the plurality of first matches;
- and
- when the second match is the same as one of the plurality of first matches, determining the identity of the subject based on the second match.
A system for performing workforce management, the system comprising:
- a biometric scanning device including a camera and memory;
- and
- a server storing a plurality of biometric templates and configured to transmit the plurality of biometric templates to the biometric scanning device, wherein each of the biometric templates is associated with a different individual,
- wherein the biometric scanning device is configured to
- receive the plurality of biometric templates from the server,
- store the plurality of biometric templates to an internal memory,
- switch to a detection mode,
- capture an image of a subject using the camera,
- process the image to identify a face,
- process the image to identify an eye included in the identified face,
- compare the identified face to at least one of the plurality of biometric templates stored on the internal memory to identify a first match,
- compare the identified eye to at least one of the plurality of biometric templates stored on the internal memory to identify a second match,
- compare the first match and the second match to determine an identity of the subject, and
- when an identity of the subject is determined, output information.
A system for performing workforce management, the system comprising:
- a left eye, right eye, and three-dimensional face based multi-biometric scanning device;
- and
- a server storing a plurality of biometric templates and configured to transmit the plurality of biometric templates to the biometric scanning device, wherein each of the biometric templates is associated with an individual,
- wherein the biometric scanning device is configured to identify an individual based on the plurality of biometric templates and integrate with at least one selected from the group comprising:
- a radio frequency identification reader,
- a computing device providing a policy override function,
- a computing device displaying a survey,
- a payroll system,
- a cash dispensing machine,
- a vending machine,
- a metal detector,
- a mobile telephone transmitting a remote access instruction,
- a mobile telephone performing video conferencing,
- a palm vein reader,
- one or more proximity sensors for detecting individuals entering or leaving the area, and
- a pair of augmented-reality glasses.
