TIME ATTENDANCE TRACKING METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A time attendance tracking method is provided by which a hand-held device is set as a primary device and/or a secondary device based on inherent mobile identity of the hand-held device and operable in either a first mode and/or a second mode. The first mode permits the user to clock-in and/or clock-out for attendance recording for the user tied account while the second mode restricts the user to clock-in and/or clock-out for attendance recording for the user tied account.

a server in communication with a database storing a plurality of registered mobile identities and user accounts, the mobile identities are categorised into primary and secondary mobile identity, and each mobile identity is tied to at least one user account; and at least one registered mobile device in communication with the server, having a mobile identity and an application configured to: provide a selection of first and second operation modes for a user to select one of the modes upon the activation of the application; provide a verification process for the user to log-in upon the selection of the mode; and provide different accessibilities of operations to the logged-in user depending on the selected mode and the mobile identity of the mobile device upon being successfully verified; wherein, in the event of the mobile device having a primary mobile identity and the logged-in user account is an account tied to the primary mobile identity, the first mode of the application permits the logged-in user to perform attendance recording for any user account, and the second mode of the application permits the logged-in user to accept, reject, or modify a request sent by another user account or to transmit a request or modified request to the another user account; wherein, in the event of the mobile device having a primary mobile identity and the logged-in user account is not an account tied to the primary mobile identity, the first mode of the application only permits the logged-in user to perform attendance recording for that particular account, and the second mode of the application permits the logged-in user to send a request to the at least one account tied to the primary mobile identity or accept a modified request; and wherein, in the event of the mobile device having a secondary mobile identity, the application only allows the account tied to this secondary mobile identity to access the operations of the application, the first mode of the application only permits the logged-in user to perform attendance recording for the particular account, and the second mode of the application permits the logged-in user to send a request to the at least one account tied to the primary mobile identity or accept a modified request.
