face recognition on the ground floor.

[tufguy]

At my work place face recognition on the ground floor overrode my previous recognition of punching in on first floor(we have to stand in front of a camera for our faces to be recognised by biometric and that marks our arrival or departure).


Please check my sentence.

What does "my previous recognition of punching in on [the] first floor" mean?

What does "my previous recognition of punching in on [the] first floor" mean?

Our company has three floors. I was a new joinie so I didn't have access to all three floors. One day I went to the first floor as soon as I reached office for face recognition but later on I was given access to the ground floor by our IT team so, I did face recognition again on the ground floor so, the first face recognition punch in got voided because of me doing it again on ground floor.

@tufguy Who are you directing this message to and why do you need to explain what happened? There are quite a lot of corrections needed and we don't want to spend time doing them without knowing what they're for.

 

[Tarheel]

I'd like to say that explanation helps. I'd like to, but I would be lying if I said that. Apparently, you have face recognition for security purposes. Also, it's not enough to do it on the first floor. You have to do it on every floor you go to. (I would normally say "first floor", but the British would probably say "ground floor" (I think).)

Yes, we certainly would.

I would take 'punching in' to refer to some kind of time card (aka 'clocking in'). That's for tracking time and payment, which isn't really related to security.

Facial recognition however is a security measure. I don't understand the connection between tracking time for hourly pay and security. I think you may mean something other than 'punching in'.

I did face recognition again on the ground floor so, the first face recognition punch in got voided because of me doing it again on ground floor.

This bit confirms my suspicion. At least in AmE 'punch in' is for time clocks, not security. I'd use 'sign in' or possibly 'log in' for keypad entry. I'm not terribly keen on either of them, but I can't think of a better phrasal verb for entering a security code at the moment.

Facial recognition would be a 'scan'.

I also don't understand the issue. If there are security measures on every floor, then presumably you'd have to submit to them every time you moved between floors, so how can they be voided? Regardless of which direction you move (up or down), you'd have to go through them each time anyway, no?

Here's my best guess for what happened, based on what I've worked out so far:

You're a new employee at the company and your details have been registered for security purposes. On your first day, you somehow managed to have your face scanned on the first floor before it had been scanned anywhere else, even though you can't have entered the building on the first floor. Sometime later that day, your face was scanned again on the ground floor and, for some reason, that scan overwrote the earlier one so it now looks as if the ground floor scan was the first one.

Am I even close to what actually happened?

Wait, wait - I have a solution! It's one of those buildings with entries at multiple levels because it's built into the side of a hill due to elevation- aka a slope house, bermed house, or hillside house. Tufguy entered the first floor from the higher elevation, then later needed to access the ground floor internally.

That allows for an architectural plausibility, but I still don't have a theory on why the scan override matters.

You are right on point. This is what I was saying. You got itthank you. Could you please check my sentences now?

You still need to answer my question in post #4.
I'm now curious to know if you've found out why the ground floor scan overwrote the first floor scan. Have you contacted the security department at the company about this? It seems like something they need to know as there could be a flaw/glitch in their system.

It took us ten posts to figure out what you were saying. Was it supposed to be a puzzle?

 

[Rover_KE]

... or a Mensa admission test question?

Interesting guess, but impossible. I believe the part of India where @tufguy
lives is flat as a pancake.

Right. This is a recurring pattern with tufguy, which is quite suspicious as far as I'm concerned.

I think we have gone as far as we can go with this. Thread closed.
