Introduction
The self-unblock feature in Windows Login Presence Detection offers a seamless and secure way to manage user interactions by automatically unlocking a blocked screen after a specified period. This guide explains how the feature works and the customizable options available for its configuration.
Presence Detection Overview
The Presence Detection feature in Oloid’s Windows Login Application monitors user presence at a defined endpoint. Using a camera, the system continuously evaluates conditions to ensure compliance with security protocols. Key aspects include:
Face Detection: If the camera fails to detect a user’s face, an alert is triggered.
Violation Detection: The system can be customized to detect various violations, such as:
Face tracking issues
Use of prohibited devices
Detection of multiple faces
Other predefined events and actions
When violations are detected, the system blocks the Windows screen, disabling all interactions except for specific buttons displayed on the blocked screen.
Self-Unblock Feature
How It Works
Screen Blocking: When a violation is detected or a non-Oloid user logs in:
The Windows screen is immediately blocked.
Alerts are sent to supervisors to notify them of the detected event.
Auto Timer Activation: If the self-unblock feature is enabled:
A countdown timer starts running simultaneously when the screen is blocked.
The timer’s duration is configurable based on organizational requirements.
Screen Unblocking:
After the timer elapses, the screen is automatically unblocked without requiring supervisor approval.
The user can resume their activities seamlessly.
Additional Use Cases
Non-Oloid User Logins:
If a user logs in with credentials other than Oloid’s, the system blocks the screen and starts the auto-timer.
After the timer expires, the screen is unlocked, granting access.
Note: The screen block pop-up will reappear after a specific interval and persists until the user logs in with their Oloid credentials.
Benefits
Enhanced Security: Continuous monitoring ensures unauthorized actions or presence are promptly addressed.
Customizable Configurations: Organizations can tailor the feature to detect and respond to specific violations.
Improved User Experience: The self-unblock feature minimizes downtime and reduces the need for supervisors to manually intervene.
Configuring the Self-Unblock Feature
Enable Presence Detection: Ensure the presence detection feature is active in Oloid’s Windows Login Application.
Customize Violation Settings: Configure the system to detect the desired conditions, such as face-tracking violations or multiple faces.
Set Auto Timer Duration: Define the duration for the auto timer based on organizational policies.
