Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for centralizing heterogeneous information linked to an identity, collected and time-stamped from delocalized terminals. It particularly finds its application in the collection of all the information which concerns the personnel of a company, and which is acquired and time stamped by means of interactive terminals disseminated in the company, intended to be used by an individual by means of '' an identification support, and dedicated to various applications such as access control, staff pointing, workshop time management, photocopiers, beverage dispensers ...
  • document FR.2.635.895 describes an access management system consisting of access control terminals which are used by means of a smart card and which are networked with means of remote management.
  • the function of each access control terminal is only to control access control means as a function of data stored on the smart card and predetermined operating parameters stored in a memory from the access management unit for each terminal.
  • the function of the remote management means is to allow remote configuration of each access control terminal. No data is acquired by the access control terminals to be then centralized and processed by the access management means.
  • the access management system described in document FR.2.635.895 does not allow the centralized collection and processing of information which would be acquired by the remote access control terminals.
  • terminals dedicated to access control to acquire an identity which is written on the identification medium, as well as the date and time of passage of the individual.
  • interactive terminals which are dedicated to an application, and which allow the acquisition of time-stamped information, and linked to an identity. It can, for example, be terminals dedicated to staff pointing, to the management of beverage dispensers, or to fuel pumps ...
  • the centralized collection and processing system of homogeneous information by means of delocalized interactive terminals has a hierarchical structure at three levels.
  • the lowest level consists of a unit called SDRU; the intermediate level is made up of a unit called MDRU, which allows the collection of data acquired by several SDRU units; the highest level consists of a concentrator, managing several MDRU units.
  • This data collection and processing system is applied to the collection of information from remote workstations in a company, so as to calculate in real time the salary of each operator on a given workstation.
  • an SDRU is associated with each workstation.
  • an MDRU unit When an MDRU unit wants to recover data acquired by an SDRU unit, it sends the microprocessor of the SDRU unit a interruption, and the microprocessor of the SDRU unit is responsible for transmitting the acquired data to it.
  • Each SDRU unit therefore does not have any storage means, of the RAM type, directly accessible in read and write mode by an MDRU unit. The same is true between a concentrator and each MDRU unit.
  • all SDRUs are identical to each other, as are MDRUs and hubs; the information which is acquired by each SDRU, and which goes back up in the hierarchical structure is not heterogeneous.
  • the aim set by the applicant is to propose a system for the centralization of information collected from delocalized terminals, which overcomes the drawback noted, in particular in document EP.391678, in that it consists of '' a single central computer connected to a plurality of interactive terminals, which can be dedicated to totally different fields of application, and which thereby collect heterogeneous information whose nature and format vary from terminal to terminal other. It is thus possible at the level of this single central computer, to exploit all the time-stamped information which can circulate in the companies and which are linked to an identity, in order to exploit them in terms of analysis and management, in particular accounting.
  • this system consists of a plurality of autonomous interactive terminals, intended to be used by means of an identification medium and connected in network to a central computer; each terminal comprises storage means and processing means, which on the one hand are capable of managing, depending on the application to which the terminal is dedicated, one or more peripherals, including at least means for reading the support which, on the other hand, are suitable for each use of the terminal, to be stored in the storage means, an elementary group of data consisting at least of the identity entered on the identification medium, the date and time of use of the terminal.
  • the storage means of each terminal are accessible in reading and possibly in writing by the central computer; for each terminal, the structure of the storage means and the format of the elementary groups of data depends only on the application to which the terminal is dedicated; the central computer knows the structure of the storage means and the format of an elementary group of data for each type of application, as well as the address and the type of application of each of the terminals to which it is connected, and is suitable to address the storage means of a terminal which has been selected so as to recover, in the storage means of said terminal, all the elementary groups of data which have been stored since the last interrogation of the terminal.
  • each terminal of the system of the invention contain a counter variable which is incremented by the processing means each time the terminal is used, which is read by the central computer, before each group recovery operation elementary data stored in the terminal, and which is reset to zero by the central computer once said operation is completed.
  • This variable allows the central computer to know the number of elementary groups that it must recover for a given terminal.
  • this counter variable is used by the processing means for calculating the addresses for writing the data of each elementary group, in the means for storing the terminal.
  • the counter variable is zero.
  • the processing means store the data of the elementary groups again, from the initial address of the zone which is reserved for the storage of the elementary groups of data.
  • the management of the peripherals by the processing means depends on the parameters which are stored in the storage means.
  • the central computer is able to modify the value of these parameters.
  • the central computer can thus configure such a terminal by downloading specific parameters to it.
  • the processing means are able to authorize or refuse the use of the terminal, after comparing all or part of the information entered on the identification medium and / or possibly all or part of the data entered, with one or more specific parameters, called authorization parameters.
  • authorization parameters can be for example a list of identities or professional categories which are authorized or not to use the terminal.
  • Another particular authorization parameter may consist of a secret terminal code. In this case, said code is compared with a code entered by the individual using the terminal using manual input means, such as a keyboard.
  • the expiration date is written on the identification medium.
  • the processing means of at least one terminal are capable of authorizing or refusing the use of the terminal after comparing said expiration date with the date of use of the terminal.
  • a secret code is written on the identification medium.
  • the processing means are capable of refusing or authorizing the use of the terminal, after having compared said secret code with the code entered using the means of manual entry.
  • the storage means of such a terminal contain at least one parameter called the restriction level, which fixes the ability of the processing means to authorize or refuse the use of the terminal.
  • the means for memorizing the terminals dedicated to access control contain several restriction level parameters, each of these parameters being associated with a time slot and possibly with a day of the week.
  • the processing means are able to temper the restriction level parameter corresponding to the time slot and possibly the date of use of the terminal.
  • the heterogeneous information centralization system of FIG. 1 consists of three networks 1, 2 and 3 of interactive terminals, which are connected to a central computer 4.
  • the network 1 consists of a plurality of interactive terminals referenced 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, ... which are connected to the same communication bus 100, which bus is connected to the central computer 4 via a communication port of the computer.

  • Terminal 101 is for example dedicated to access control, terminal 102 for staff pointing management, terminal 103 for workshop time management, terminal 104 for management of a photocopier, ...
  • All of these Interactive kiosks have the common characteristic of being able to be used by an individual by means of an identification medium, such as a magnetic card on which is registered at least one identity number.
  • All the terminals of the system also make it possible to acquire, at each use, a basic group of data, which is constituted by the identity read on the identification medium, the date and time of use, and additional data, the nature and number of which depend solely on the application to which the terminal is dedicated. For example, for a terminal dedicated to pointing, this additional data will be constituted by a code, entered by an individual using a keyboard and indicating either the start or the end of a work period.
  • the centralization system of the invention allows the recovery by a single central computer 4, of all the heterogeneous information which is acquired by the interactive terminals in the form of elementary groups of data, for purposes of analysis and accounting management by said calculator.

This can for example be a photocopier, a beverage dispenser, or a machine mounted in line on a production line.
  • the electronic unit 7 also includes storage means 21 of the random access memory type, accessible for writing and reading by the microprocessor 8 via the internal bus 10. These storage means 21 are also directly accessible for reading and writing, via a communication port 22, RS 485 type. All the electronic boxes 7 of the terminals of the system of FIG. 1 are connected to one of the communication buses 100, 200 or 300, depending on whether the interactive terminal is part of network 1, 2 or 3. The central computer 4 can thus asynchronously come read or write in the storage means 21, which act as a buffer memory between the microprocessor 8 and the central computer.
  • the electronic unit 7 also includes a parallel input / output port 23, allowing in particular to connect the electronic unit 7 to a printer, a communication port 24, of V24 type, in particular allowing emulation of the electronic unit 7 by a videotex terminal, as well as a serial port, of RS 232 type, which makes it possible to communicate the microprocessor 8, according to the application to which the interactive terminal is dedicated with one or more peripherals, other than those of set 13.
