Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of time clock machines, and in particular to a novel time attendance machine. Background Technology
[0002] The primary function of a time clock is to record employees' arrival and departure times. For employees, this machine acts like a cold, unforgiving enforcer, causing immense suffering for working professionals. While existing time clocks offer comprehensive functionality, they lack incentive features, which only exacerbates employees' negative feelings towards clocking in and out. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of time and attendance machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel time and attendance machine includes a machine body, a card slot, a barcode recognition device, a time and attendance solid-state storage memory, a wireless transmission module, a timer starter, an NFC one-time reader / writer, and employee cards. The card slot is located at the lower front of the machine body. The barcode recognition device is installed in the lower left corner of the machine body and identifies the employee cards in the card slot. The time and attendance solid-state storage memory and the wireless transmission module are sequentially installed in the upper left corner of the machine body. The time and attendance solid-state storage memory is connected to the barcode recognition device and stores attendance records. Data from the time and attendance solid-state storage memory is uploaded to the cloud via the wireless transmission module. The timer starter and the NFC one-time reader / writer are installed in the upper right corner of the machine body. The timer starter is connected to the NFC one-time reader / writer and activates the NFC one-time reader / writer within a set time to write a one-time elevator control card key to the employee cards in the card slot, incentivizing employees to clock in within the specified time and avoid climbing stairs.
[0006] Preferably, the employee card further includes a barcode, an NFC module, and an employee information area. The barcode is printed on the left side of the end of the employee card, and an NFC module is installed on the right side of the end of the employee card. The employee information area is printed on the top of the employee card.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model is reasonably designed and can identify and upload the information records of employees who clock in to the cloud for easy viewing. Moreover, it combines the company's elevator control with the clock-in machine, and uses a timed starter to control the NFC one-time reader to write one-time elevator card codes for punctual employees, thus encouraging employees to clock in on time and avoid climbing stairs. Attached Figure Description

[0009] In the diagram: 1. Time clock machine body, 2. Card slot, 3. Barcode recognition device, 4. Time attendance solid-state storage memory, 5. Wireless transmission module, 6. Timer starter, 7. NFC one-time reader / writer, 8. Employee card, 9. Barcode, 10. NFC module, 11. Employee information area. Detailed Implementation
[0010] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0011] like Figure 1 As shown, a novel time and attendance machine includes a machine body 1, a card slot 2, a barcode recognition device 3, a time and attendance solid-state storage memory 4, a wireless transmission module 5, a timer starter 6, an NFC one-time reader / writer 7, and an employee card 8. The card slot 2 is located at the lower front end of the machine body 1. The barcode recognition device 3 is installed in the lower left corner of the machine body 1, and it recognizes the employee card 8 in the card slot 2. The time and attendance solid-state storage memory 4 and the wireless transmission module 5 are sequentially installed in the upper left corner of the machine body 1. The attendance solid-state storage memory 4 is connected to the barcode recognition device 3 and stores attendance records. The data from the attendance solid-state storage memory 4 is uploaded to the cloud via the wireless transmission module 5. A timer starter 6 is installed in the upper right corner of the attendance machine body 1, and an NFC one-time reader / writer 7 is installed in the lower right corner of the attendance machine body 1. The timer starter 6 is connected to the NFC one-time reader / writer 7 and activates the NFC one-time reader / writer 7 within a set time to write a one-time elevator control card key into the employee card in the card slot 2, incentivizing employees to clock in within the specified time and avoid climbing stairs. The employee card 8 also includes a barcode 9, an NFC module 10, and an employee information area 11. The barcode 9 is printed on the upper left side of the employee card 8, and the NFC module 10 is installed on the upper right side of the employee card 8. The employee information area 11 is printed on the upper part of the employee card 8.
[0012] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Employees who clock in within the time set by the timer starter 6 have their employee information on the barcode 9 on their employee card 8 identified by the barcode recognition device 3, saved to the attendance solid-state storage memory 4, and uploaded to the cloud via the wireless transmission module 5. The timer starter also controls the NFC one-time reader / writer 7 to write a one-time elevator card password to the NFC module 10 on the employee card 8, thus providing employees who clock in on time with the right to use the company elevator and encouraging them to clock in on time.
[0013] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary in all respects, and thus equivalent variations within the scope of this invention are included within its scope.
