Definitions
- the invention relates to systems for monitoring and managing services provided by service providers to users.
- the invention proposes a service control and management system which responds in particular to the complexity of the situations existing in the sector of home services financed by social organizations which are numerous and of different natures. (General Council, CRAM, CNAV, mutuals, provident funds, autonomous funds, town halls, etc.).
- the system according to the invention was designed to take into account this multi-donor and multi-provider aspect.
- the invention therefore proposes a global information management system.
- the system is capable of simultaneously processing the information necessary for several donors and several service providers, each employing several stakeholders. It guarantees the confidentiality of information by sending each actor only the data that concerns them for their control and management.
- the system also makes it possible to deal with the case where an intervener (natural person) working for a beneficiary actually provides a benefit as an allowance (household help for example), then in continuity works under another scheme financed by another lessor than the previous one (life support for example).
- the proposed system takes into account the cases where a lessor mandates several service provider organizations, the case where a service provider organization is mandated by several social landlords, the case where a (social) worker working under the responsibility of a provider organization provides benefits of different kinds, cases where a beneficiary is allocated benefits of different kinds.
- the system adapts to any type of service performed on site giving right to remuneration for the service worker, or requiring a control of the actual presence of a person by a supervisory organization.
- These can be home services provided by a company, an association, a public or private organization, an individual, etc. This service can take several forms: home help, tutoring, home care, troubleshooting, monitoring, etc.
- control system is positioned in a neutral manner as to the nature of the service, to the type of personnel who carry it out, to the bodies to which it is addressed, whether public or private.
- the system according to the invention is an on-site service management system which facilitates administrative and control procedures. Its purpose is to respond to the concerns of the various stakeholders involved in this on-site work:
- the financier of the service also called lessor, who wishes to control the effective use of the sums allocated to the service.
- FIG. 1 represents the overall diagram of the control system according to the invention, in which the various parties or organizations involved in the performance or the processing of a service are represented schematically, as well as the links between them.
- One or more providers of services (Bl, B2, ... Bn), possibly linked by a network, form a central structure.
- This central structure houses one or more servers which run software implementing the control and management system according to the invention.
- a plurality of service provider organizations (PI, P2, ... P) are connected to one or more of the donors (Bl, B2, ... Bn) via telephone lines, the server and the network.
- a set of speakers (II, 12, ... Ik) is available to provide services to a set of beneficiaries (bl, b2, ... bl) to which respective donors allocate rights to benefits.
- Smart card readers L are assigned to the interveners (such as the interveners II and 12 for example), or to the beneficiaries (such as the beneficiary b3). Readers of contributors or beneficiaries are able to be connected by modem (not shown) and telephone line to service providers and / or to the respective donor network, or directly to donors in the absence of a donor network.
- the invention more particularly relates to a control and management system comprising:
- each reader comprising means for initializing a service provision transaction when a beneficiary and / or intervener card is introduced, means for initiating a time counting of service after the initialization of the transaction and until the end of the service, means for periodically recording in non-volatile memory information relating to the performance of the services, and means for transmitting these from the reader to the central server.
- information relating to the execution of a service includes identification data and the nature of the service.
- the identification data includes: an identifier of at least one service provider,
- an identifier of a beneficiary of the service - an identifier of at least one lessor funding the service, and the data on the nature of the service include:
- the readers are fixed (installed on the service premises) or portable.
- the invention will be described more precisely in the case of a work organization carried out by service providers for beneficiaries, at the beneficiaries' homes, and to illustrate it well, we will take the concrete case of a control and monitoring system. management of home help work for the elderly.
- FIG. 1 represents the diagram of a global system according to the invention
- FIG. 2A shows the information contained in the non-volatile memory of the beneficiary's card
- FIG. 3 shows the general architecture according to a particular embodiment of the system according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows a view of the keyboard and the screen of the beneficiary's reader
- FIG. 5 shows a flow diagram of the initialization phase of the reader
- FIG. 6 shows a flow diagram of a transaction phase
- FIG. 7 shows a flow diagram of the communication phase with the central server
- FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of operations performed in the provider organization. To ensure the management and control of on-site services, the system ensures that all the necessary information is taken into account.
- each beneficiary and each member of the working staff has their own smart card and / or reader containing qualified information and identifiers.
- the latter performs the necessary sorting and sends this information to each of the actors according to their needs and their level of responsibility.
- the server can either be hosted by a lessor, or belong to a structure, independent of the lessors and guarantor of the processing of information on behalf of several lessors.
- a “central structure” will designate a provider of services, or several providers connected in a network, and housing a server allowing the information processing according to the invention.
- the main information transmitted from the reader to the server is such as to carry out a check on the effective use of the funds allocated to the services, and makes it possible to ensure payment for the service provider.
- the service provider organization can recover useful information either directly by interrogating the server, or by interrogating the lessor (s), but also by reading the transactions which are contained in the cards of the staff who performed the service (the interveners). This information is mainly used to pay staff and to send a compliant invoice to donors.
- a correlation can be made between the information contained in the card and that returned by the reader.
- the lessor can, before paying the mandated service provider, check the amount of hours billed by comparing it with the information sent by the reader and then processed by the server.
- the server also performs other functions:
- the proposed system also takes into account the electrical personalization of the cards. Either by a service performed outside, or by personalization stations which can be installed at the lessors, the service providers or by an independent information management structure.
- the system according to the invention proposes different patterns of use of cards and readers. Indeed, the system according to the invention can take different forms, in particular: 1) - a fixed reader on site, a card for each beneficiary, a card for each contributor;
- the reader transmits the information to the processing center. It can contain elements of identification either of the beneficiary, or of the intervener, or both, according to the selected scheme.
- Beneficiaries of services are, for example, elderly people who need home help.
- the service providers as a natural person intervener come to work part-time at the beneficiaries' home.
- the more general central structure controls these home service delivery activities, for example because it allocates aid to beneficiaries and wishes this aid to be in the form of subsidized services, or because the legality of the work performed has to be checked, or for any other reason.
- the public body plays the role of provider of services and allocates hourly allowances to beneficiaries; it wishes to record the hours worked, to know who worked them, who are the beneficiaries, for what quantity each time, and it wishes to verify that the subsidies paid to the service providers are well used.
- a control and management system comprising:
- beneficiary cards comprising in non-volatile memory at least a beneficiary identification and an allocated time credit
- takeholder cards comprising in non-volatile memory, a stakeholder identification and a transaction area
- smart card readers installed at the service locations
- each reader comprising means for initializing a service provision transaction when introducing an authorized beneficiary card into this reader, means for initiating a counting of service time at from the introduction of an intervener's card in the reader after the initialization of the transaction and until a time of end of service, means for periodically recording in non-volatile memory, in the transaction area of the intervener's card and in the reader, a service time which is the time elapsed since the introduction of the intervener's card, and means for transmitting from the reader to the central server information on the beneficiary, the intervening, the service time for the various transactions carried out and on the type of service performed.
- the central organization has the server and can collect information on the transactions carried out. However, it can also control the use of readers (authorization given to the various beneficiaries, allocation of service time to these beneficiaries, these allocations being able to be updated after receipt of information on the transactions carried out).
- the transfer of information from the reader placed with a beneficiary to the central server is preferably done automatically at a day and an hour contained in the non-volatile memory of the reader, this memory having been previously loaded by the beneficiary's card.
- the provider organizations which manage the workers i.e. in practice their employers, can collect information directly from the workers about the services provided: this is done by means of the chip cards of the workers which contain the same information (in particular on the delivery time) than that which is transmitted to the central server. Cross-checking information remains easy to do.
- each beneficiary has a personal smart card and a smart card reader placed at his home.
- the reader can communicate with a central server which is owned by the central structure (public body in this example). Communication can be done by any channel, but today, in practice, the most suitable channel is the telephone network, and a communication modem is therefore incorporated in the reader or inserted between the reader and a socket. telephone network subscriber.
- the beneficiary's smart card includes, in a non-volatile memory, at least one identification of the beneficiary, and an amount of allocated working hours, that is to say a credit of hours of services to be received. This credit is transmitted to the reader when the card is inserted into the reader during an initialization phase.
- FIG. 2A shows a possible example of the content of the non-volatile memory of the beneficiary card, with three main areas which are: - a card identification area (one or more fields),
- a beneficiary identification zone (several fields such as name, first name, address, etc.), - a parameter zone intended for the reader during the initialization of transactions.
- This area contains a beneficiary identification code. It can also contain the credit for allocated hours, if it is not expected that this credit for hours will be sent by the server to the reader.
- This zone can also include, as will be seen below, a telephone number to which the central server can be called, and a day and a time of call from this server. 2.
- Stakeholder According to this embodiment i 1 is provided that each stakeholder has a personal smart card.
- the card contains a non-volatile memory intended in particular to store the hours of work actually worked at the home of a beneficiary.
- the service provider can use their card to justify to the service provider that they have worked a certain number of hours and that they must be paid by the service provider for these hours.
- the working hours will be entered directly into the service provider's card by the reader located at the beneficiary's home, where the work is done, and it is this same reader who will communicate them to the central server, thus making control possible.
- FIG. 2B represents an example of organization of the non-volatile memory of the card of the speaker. It includes here three zones, which are respectively: - a card identification area,
- - a stakeholder identification area (surname first name, address, qualification level, etc., an identification code)
- a transaction area itself divided into sub-areas, each corresponding to a particular transaction.
- Transaction means a recording of working time data during a service delivery session by a specific operator for a specific beneficiary.
- a transaction sub-area may include the following fields:
- Sub-zone number, - beneficiary identifier (in the form of the code recorded in the beneficiary's card and transferred as we will see in the intervener's card during a service),
- the service provider may also have the equipment necessary for the personalization of the speakers' smart cards, that is to say, the recording of data concerning them in non-volatile memory.
- the central structure has, as we said, a central server which can communicate with the readers installed in the beneficiaries.
- This server can also communicate with means of communication located in service providers. This communication is necessary to ensure control by the donor (s) of what is done by the provider organizations, but it can be done by any means.
- the telephone network is a convenient means of establishing this communication, using modems. Communication between the central structure and the provider organizations is useful, particularly in the case where the money or part of the money necessary for the remuneration of stakeholders is provided by the central structure based on the hours of work provided by these stakeholders.
- the central structure is in principle the structure which manages the beneficiaries themselves, that is to say the structure which decides who are the beneficiaries entitled to participate in the system and which allocates hour credits to each beneficiary .
- this central structure may have the equipment necessary to personalize the smart cards of authorized beneficiaries.
- FIG. 3 The overall architecture of the management system according to the invention is represented in FIG. 3:
- the smart card reader installed at the beneficiary can be of a very simple model as regards the keyboard and the screen for dialogue with the user.
- Figure 4 gives an example, with a few function keys (FI, F2, F3), a numeric keyboard, a validation key (OK), and a summary display screen, for example a two-part liquid crystal display. lines of 16 characters.
- the card reader can only function properly if the beneficiary who uses it is authorized, that is to say if he has a smart card that gives him rights.
- the rights are conferred by the central structure in the form of a beneficiary code and an hour credit, both contained in a specific area of the beneficiary card.
- the reader therefore has its own system program which performs preliminary initialization operations before starting transactions.
- the initialization of the beneficiary's reader during a first start-up at the beneficiary is therefore done with the following three phases, possibly using the function keys to specify that these are initialization operations: - introduction of the beneficiary card into the reader, to place in the non-volatile memory of the reader the necessary information relating to the beneficiary and contained in the card which has been allocated by the central structure; this information is essentially a beneficiary identification code, the credit for hours allocated, and, as will be seen, preferably a telephone number and a call date from the central server; this phase takes place under the control of the reader who is programmed to execute it, with possible intervention for simple operations (validation, etc.) of an operator who in practice will be a person belonging to the service provider;
- the server is able to transmit to each reader any information not present on the cards or any information to be renewed, the reader then being able to establish a priority between the information which it has memorized and the information present in the card.
- FIG. 5 recalls the general flowchart of the initialization phase of the reader.
- the transaction is carried out according to the following process: the beneficiary's card is inserted in the reader; the card information relating to the beneficiary is read and compared in the reader with the information present since initialization in the reader. A distortion in the comparison can lead to a rejection of the card and a ban on the transaction (especially if the card is not the beneficiary's card).
- the beneficiary's card is removed from the reader and replaced by the intervener's card who came to the beneficiary's home to perform a work service.
- the cardholder's information is read by the reader, and a transaction begins and will last as long as the card remains in the reader and until an end of transaction validation operation.
- the transaction seen from the side of the management system, essentially consists in registering units for counting the time that elapses while the intervener's card remains in the reader. This recording is made simultaneously in the speaker's card and in the reader.
- the transaction also includes date and time records and the recording of recipient identification information.
- the time counting takes place periodically and the time units corresponding to the period, or to a multiple of the period, are recorded and accumulated in the memory of the reader and in the memory of the card.
- the reader has an internal clock establishing this periodicity.
- the counting is carried out under certain conditions, and in particular under the condition that the intervener's card is in the reader and that the time remaining allocated to the beneficiary is not zero (time after counting of the services previously performed).
- the reader For each new unit of time elapsed, the reader reads from the card memory (in the zone corresponding to the transaction in progress) the number of time units already recorded, it increments this number, and it saves in the same memory area the new number of cumulative units. At the same time, it performs the same operation in its own non-volatile memory: reading the number previously recorded, incrementing by one, and writing the number incremented in the same memory area corresponding to the transaction in progress. In addition, it decrements by one unit a memory area which contains the number of units allocated to the beneficiary, a number which was originally taken from the beneficiary's card.
- the beneficiary validates the end of the transaction by inserting his card in the reader. In the event that it is expected that the validation is made by the speaker, this will be done for example by means of the OK validation button on the reader, or by a specific function key), before the speaker has removed his card from the reader.
- This validation makes definitive the information on the transaction, recorded in the memory zone corresponding to the transaction in progress, and this as well in the memory of the card of the speaker as in the memory of the reader; this information is information on the date and time of the service and the duration of the work carried out while the intervener's card was in the beneficiary's reader.
- the beneficiary's reader contains information on the latest transactions made. This information may be communicated by the telephone network to the central server. And this communication will be done automatically, without intervention of the beneficiary.
- the intervener's card contains the same information and he can have this information read by the service provider to which he is attached ad inistratively.
- Figure 6 shows the general flowchart of a transaction.
- the reader has in memory the telephone number allowing communication with the central server. It also has in memory a day and a time of call from the server, the different beneficiaries having different days and times so as not to risk call conflicts, this information has been placed in the reader from the card of the beneficiary during the first commissioning.
- the reader is connected to a modem (or includes a built-in modem) and is capable of triggering a dialing request by the modem at a specified day and time, and on a specified telephone number. On the day and at the appointed time, the modem automatically connects with the server. Server programs then control the reader to transmit stored transaction information to it.
- the memory areas which contain the information read can be blanked for recording of future transactions.
- the day and time stored in the player is preferably a day and an hour of the week, so that communication can be weekly and carried out systematically.
- the server issues an acknowledgment of the information received, and may send the reader other information.
- FIG. 7 recalls the general flowchart of the functions of communications with the server, seen from the side of the reader which begins by constantly monitoring whether the day and the time of the server call are reached.
- FIG. 8 schematically recalls the operations which are carried out by the service provider when the service provider brings his card after he has performed one or more work services.
- the card is inserted into a reader of the service provider, a reader which is connected, or which can be connected, to a computer capable of processing information gathered from the cards of the various participants.
- the different transactions stored in the card are downloaded (working dates, working time, beneficiary identifiers, etc.).
- the areas of memory of the transactions unloaded are reset to zero for future transactions.
- the computer which processes the data will in particular establish the corresponding wages, in this application example where the wages are paid by the service provider.
- the reader records in its own non-volatile memory not only the time count for each elapsed time unit, but also the date and time of this recording. In addition, it decrements the time unit account allocated to the beneficiary.
- Transactions write operations are carried out in several stages to ensure writing security even in the event of an interruption (power outage, card snatch).
- These writing steps include data backups in a non-volatile memory backup area before their replacement by a new data, and they include the establishment of flags (also in non-volatile memory) which indicate that an operation is running.
- flags also in non-volatile memory
- an operation to write a new time account consists in reading the old unit account in the time counting area of the non-volatile memory, in copying it into a saving area by establishing a flag (bit at 1 for example) indicating that the memory modification operation begins, then incrementing the account, rewriting the new account in memory, and finally removing the flag (resetting the bit).
- a power outage or a tear-off of the card takes place before the establishment of the flag, the old account will remain valid.
- the new account will be valid. If it occurs while the flag is set, the presence of the flag (in non-volatile memory) will be detected when the power is restored and it will be known that an operating anomaly has occurred.
- the comparison of the contents of the main area of the non-volatile memory and the backup area will allow a decision to be made on the content to be restored in the memory.
- the reader when it executes an operation, identified by an operation number, belonging to a program unit identified by a program unit number, it can systematically store the operation numbers in non-volatile memory, d program unit, and flags, so that when power is restored it can easily detect the location of the interruption and resume the interrupted program.
- the transactions can proceed correctly in abnormal situations.
- the reader stores in its non-volatile memory the date and time at each elementary writing operation, so that it is then possible to detect if there has been an interruption (power cut for example) which would shift the countdown.
- Such a difference is measurable and can be used to correct the stakeholder's account (which is used to calculate his salary).
- mechanisms can be provided which only take these cuts into account if they are limited in number and in duration during the same transaction or during the same period of time. For example, we allow one stop per hour and only stops of less than 5 minutes.
- certification programs consist in calculating and recording in non-volatile memory, using a secret algorithm, a result or certificate, from the data whose integrity is to be ensured and from keys such as for example the number of card identification.
- This certificate is calculated and entered by the reader in the speaker's card and is verified when the card is used again.
