Claim Text:
1. A system for collecting and transferring electronic information, comprising: one or more servers, having one or more centralized databases for storing or retrieving data, connected to a network; one or more computing devices connected to the servers via the network for retrieving the data from the centralized databases; a plurality of biometric devices connected to the servers via the network, are located at different locations, and each biometric device comprises: a system for identifying users based on biometric data of the users; a system for storing the biometric data and activity information of the users; and a system for sending the biometric data and activity information to the servers, in communication with the servers in real time via the network; wherein the biometric devices are configured to identify at least one of the users based on the biometric data, and collect activity information of the identified user, following which real time activity information together with the corresponding biometric data of the identified user is sent to the servers based on a HTTP PUSH protocol; wherein, during the data transmission using the HTTP Push protocol, the biometric devices firstly retrieve configuration information including time interval settings under various conditions, real-time settings, authentication settings, activity record settings, operation settings, and biometric data record settings from the servers by sending a request and the servers will return the configuration information to the device, then the biometric devices send an updating receipt to the servers for requesting to upload new data and the servers will return a command for updating if new data is available, and followed by the biometric devices executing the command to push the activity information and the biometric data to the servers; wherein the activity information and the biometric data of the users are stored in the centralized databases of the servers and are enabled to be retrieved by the computing devices.
