Abstract

The disclosure provides a method device and system for recording an attendance. The method includes that: a Femto ( 74 ) receives a registration request or a de-registration request of a mobile terminal ( 72 ), wherein the registration request or the de-registration request includes an identifier of the mobile terminal ( 72 ); and the Femto ( 74 ) saves the identifier of the mobile terminal ( 72 ) and time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal ( 72 ) together to serve as an attendance record of a user corresponding to the mobile terminal ( 72 ). The method, device and system for recording an attendance solve the problems of great configuration difficulty and high cost of a system for implementing attendance recording in related technologies, and realize fully-automatic attendance statistics; and this implementation mode is easy to operate and low in cost.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for recording an attendance, comprising:
receiving, by a Femto, a registration request or a de-registration request of a mobile terminal, wherein the registration request or the de-registration request comprises an identifier of the mobile terminal; and
saving, by the Femto, the identifier of the mobile terminal and time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal together to serve as an attendance record of a user corresponding to the mobile terminal;
wherein after saving, by the Femto, the identifier and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal together, the method further comprises: obtaining, by an attendance platform, the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal which are saved in one or more Femto; and collecting statistics, by the attendance platform, to attendance records of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal according to the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal;
wherein collecting statistics, by the attendance platform, to the attendance records of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal according to the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal comprises: the attendance platform reading, in a database, a correspondence table for the identifier of the mobile terminal and a name of a user whose attendance is to be recorded; according to the correspondence table for the identifier of the mobile terminal and the name of the user whose attendance is to be recorded, the attendance platform replacing, in a correspondence table for the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal, the identifier of the mobile terminal with the name of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal to generate an attendance record table of the user.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein collecting statistics, by the attendance platform, to the attendance records of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal according to the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal comprises:
the attendance platform recording the earliest registration request of the mobile terminal during the first specified time period as an on-duty attendance record of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal; and/or,
the attendance platform recording the latest de-registration request of the mobile terminal during the second specified time period as an off-duty attendance record of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining, by the attendance platform, the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal which are saved in the one or more Femto comprises:
the attendance platform obtaining the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal which are saved in the one or more Femto during a specified time period.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before obtaining, by the attendance platform, the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal which are saved in the one or more Femto, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the attendance platform, mobile terminal information submitted by the user; and
saving, by the attendance platform, a correspondence between the name of the user and the identifier of the mobile terminal in the database according to the mobile terminal information.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein after establishing and saving, by the attendance platform, the correspondence between the name of the user and the identifier of the mobile terminal according to the mobile terminal information, the method further comprises:
setting, by the attendance platform, operation permission of logging in the attendance platform for the user.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein after collecting statistics, by the attendance platform, to the attendance records of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal according to the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the attendance platform, at least one operation instruction of a login user, wherein the at least one operation instruction comprises at least one of the followings: an operation instruction for querying attendance records of a specified user, an operation instruction for displaying an attendance statistics result of the specified user, and an operation instruction for informing the specified user of an abnormal attendance situation; and
determining, based on the operation permission corresponding to the login user, by the attendance platform, whether to operate correspondingly according to the at least one operation instruction.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal comprises at least one of the followings:
time when the Femto receives the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal; and
time of initiating the registration request or the de-registration request which is carried in the registration request or the de-registration request.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier of the mobile terminal comprises:
an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the mobile terminal.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after receiving, by the Femto, the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal, the method further comprises:
providing, by the Femto, a preset Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) Identity (ID)for the mobile terminal.

10. A device for recording an attendance, wherein the device is provided in a Femto and comprises:
a first receiving component configured to receive a registration request or a de-registration request of a mobile terminal, wherein the registration request or the de-registration request comprises an identifier of the mobile terminal; and
a saving component configured to save the identifier of the mobile terminal and time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal together to serve as an attendance record of a user corresponding to the mobile terminal; in order to make an attendance platform replace, according to the correspondence table for the identifier of the mobile terminal and the name of the user whose attendance is to be recorded, in a correspondence table of the identifier of the mobile terminal and the time corresponding to the registration request or the de-registration request of the mobile terminal, the identifier of the mobile terminal with the name of the user corresponding to the mobile terminal to generate an attendance record table of the user.

11. A system for recording an attendance, wherein the system comprises a device for recording an attendance according to claim 10 and an attendanc
