Hi guys The project I am working on has a webpage where users register. We want to be able to keep track of how many times each user visits our premises. Because it is a somewhat "private" business we are unable to use some kind of membership card or similar. The identification also has to be fast because in one night there can be up to 300 guests of which maybe 200 would have to be identified. The "easiest" solution to this would be a fingerprint identification. Alternatively maybe some kind of face detection software. The database with the user data is a standard mysql database. Ideally I would be able to write something in Ruby but I''m not sure if drivers exist, etc. Throw some ideas over and tell me about any experience you might have about something similar. Thanks for your help. Stefano -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Fast identification (maybe fingerprint) using Ruby?
What about kind of interface where users would choose between male/female date of birth? Quick and easy and it is not complicated!

Yeah thats an idea. I will look into that. The thing is it really has to happen in max 30 secs. Even getting somebody to log into an account with email, password in 30sec is close to impossible. at least not reliably.

Re: Re: Fast identification (maybe fingerprint) using Ruby?
I had a similar situation, where we needed to track personnel for a specific event. We gave out id cards with only a bar code, no other identifying marks. The scanner would check them in/out with one swipe, and it was fast. The only people that could relate the bar code to a person were the people that managed the accounts. the site for the event was a single page with a text box that the bar code scanner placed the output in. after the scan was complete, the page would auto submit, and flash a message. I don''t have access to the source, but I used jQuery, and an auto submit function Jason On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 3:38 PM, Stefano <stefano.hug-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Yeah thats an idea.
