Facial data is stored in the Microsoft Azure cloud space and the staff master data is stored in the client’s own server space. We have these types of transactions in SmartFace.
Action | Azure | Client’s Database | Result |
---|---|---|---|
Staff punch in | Valid | Valid | PI – Punch In registered in Client’s database |
Staff punch out | Valid | Valid | PO– Punch Out registered in Client’s database |
Ex staff whose Azure Face data is not yet removed, presents in front of the terminal | Valid | Invalid | PN – An exception transaction registered for later review |
A person whose face is registered in Azure may be as a vendor or on a trial basis, but not available in Client DB | Valid | Invalid | AZ – An exception is registered |
A person whose face is not registered in Azure, presents themselves. | Invalid | XXXXX | UK – Unknown, Exception registered |
In other words, every facial recognition transaction is logged in the client database for reconciliation, analysis and exception handling.
Definitely not
Every client gets a unique key when the client is registered in Microsoft Azure. This is done by Microsoft and not by us. This key cannot be used by others. When facial data of employees are registered, these get grouped under this unique key.
Even within a company, one can have grouping based on departments or work-sites if the number of employees is large. However, in case of such a sub-grouping, staff movement from one site to another, may pose an issue. If the number of employees is not that high, one group is enough for a company.
Each client’s database and the associated code are all completely independent of each other and hence one’s data cannot be seen by another. There is no common code or common data. Thus, the entire system is highly private, secure and confidential.
We shall take care of synchronization of any software upgrades.
In case of large number of staff and especially in the case of Labour Attendance, yes it is a possibility. The same can happen for Biometric terminals and Smart Card readers also.
SmartFace can be installed in the employees own smart phones and also on Smart Tabs at the entrance.
An employee has to only open the SmartFace App in his/her own smart phone and the punch in or punch out will happen. No need to stand in the queue. If it is a common terminal, the queue will vanish quickly because the time per transaction is hardly 2-3 seconds.
All the recent versions of Android are likely to support SmartFace. However, there are android phones that have customised User Interface and customised Android. If SmartFace does not work on such a phone, check the Settings for proper permissions for the App and especially the camera.
If the model number is informed to us at info@innovatussystems.com , we shall also verify and if a patch can be provided, we shall do so.As it is impossible to test the app in thousands of makes and models prevalent now, a common terminal of a make and model where SmartFace has been proven to work, is recommended as a backup.
SmartFace has been tested on several browsers, both on phones as well on laptops, and found to be working. In case one finds an incompatibility with a specific browser, check the settings in the browser. If still not resolved, please inform us at info@innovatussystems.com.
We have tested the app in Safari, Edge, Chrome, FireFox, Brave browsers on the laptop, Chrome and Safari on Smart Phones. The App was found to be working well in all these browsers.
