Abstract: A time and/or attendance recording device for time and/or attendance recording of people, has a local memory or is connected to a local memory, and further includes a communication interface for communicating with a server system. Personal data may be stored in the local memory, wherein the time and/or attendance recording device is configured such that personal data is stored in the local memory depending on which group of people from a number of groups of people a person is assigned.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the protected operation of an attendance recording terminal, in particular a time recording terminal, for recording attendance information of a person on the basis of an action of the person, includes the following steps: detecting a physical external influence on the attendance recording terminal; checking whether the physical external influence fulfills a predefined trigger condition; and triggering at least one protective function if the check results in the external physical influence fulfilling the trigger condition. A corresponding attendance recording terminal is related.

Abstract: An attendance recording terminal, in particular time recording terminal, for recording attendance information of a person on the basis of an action of the person includes a control unit, a memory management unit having a master record of personal data, and an identification engine is configured for identifying the person and for outputting identification information. The control unit is configured for interacting with the memory management unit in such manner that it checks in the master record, depending on the identification information, as to what type of interaction the identified person wants with the attendance recording terminal. Furthermore, the control unit is configured in such manner that a user-specific type of interaction is provided for the identified person on the attendance recording terminal and/or on a mobile access medium of the person. A corresponding computer-implemented method for operating an attendance recording terminal is also related.
