Patent number: 9436933Abstract: A system and method for tracking and communicating time and attendance data for workers at a remote worksite is disclosed. A portable time and attendance device is configured to receive and store worker time attendance data and transmit the data to a remote computer via a wireless network, such as a wireless cellular communications network. In order to conserve battery power, a main unit of the device periodically queries an electronic time and attendance clock of the device according to a pre-established schedule to determine if new worker time and attendance data has been received. If so, according to the pre-established schedule, the new worker time and attendance data is transmitted to the remote computer via the wireless network. Otherwise, certain functions and components of the device remain in a low battery usage sleep mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Exaktime Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Anthony H. Pappas, John K. O'Hara, Casey P. Powers, Eric R. Renken, Scott K. Prewett, Myles Christensen, Matthew K. Dunham, Christopher M. Anderson, Dustin L. Morris

Patent number: 8126788Abstract: A method for tracking time attendance for either a single dedicated user, and typically owner, of a single multi-function electronic hand-held device without the need of entering password information, or selectively interchangeable to multiple non-dedicated users which must enter passwords to access their time tracking screens is provided. The time tracking software on the hand-held device can be placed into solo mode for a single dedicated user, which can be selectively deactivated so as to enable multiple non-dedicated users to enter their passwords to log in and clock-in or clock-out. The solo mode may be selectively reactivated so as to automatically log in the dedicated user and display his or her time tracking screen. An authorized administrator's password may be necessary to activate or deactivate solo mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Exaktime Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Anthony H. Pappas, Thomas F. Bulatewicz, Jr.

Patent number: 8121912Abstract: A method for reconciling asynchronous time attendance records in a time attendance system is provided. The reconciliation method of the present invention can reconcile and synchronize time attendance records from a single time attendance recorder device, or multiple time attendance recorder devices which are independent from one another and not electronically connected to a central processor or each other. Each time attendance event includes a time attendance recorder identifying code, a user identifying code, and is processed according to whether it is determined to be a start activity or a stop activity. A series of completed time records is created for each user as all of the time attendance events from all of the recorder devices are processed.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Exaktime Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Henryk Pappas, Eric R. Renken

Publication number: 20100161462Abstract: A time and activity tracking system includes a hand-held device storing unique codes for a plurality of activities. A user can select an activity from the plurality of activities stored in the memory, and transmit the unique code to an electronic time clock, which associates a time stamp with the codes. The activities can include clocking in, clocking out, or various work activities or projects of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: EXAKTIME INNOVATIONS, INC.Inventors: Anthony H. Pappas, Eric R. Renken, Scott K. Prewett, Valerie L. Doran, John O'Hara, Myles Christensen, John Milligan

Patent number: 7298673Abstract: A time attendance system, including a time attendance clock, designed to be used in harsh conditions, such as outdoor job sites. A portable touch button, including a passively readable code, is brought into contact with the time attendance clock so as to create a time attendance record stored in the clock. Visual indicators and audible notification alert the employee of the acceptance of the act. Periodically, the time attendance records are retrieved from the time attendance clock, such as by using a hand-held electronic device which communicates in a wireless manner with the time attendance clock.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Exaktime Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Henryk Pappas, Scott K. Prewett, John L. Milligan, Stuart A. Karten, Valerie L. Doran
