In addition, since the present invention is mostly constituted by software technology incorporated in a computer, there is no significant increase in cost. Furthermore, if there is a student number such as a student number as in the configuration described in claim 2 above, it is also possible to confirm attendees by collating them with the student's unique information. Related information can also be created. Furthermore, since the combination number can be an astronomical number by using a random number of 5 digits or more as in the configuration according to claim 3 or 4, it is appropriately input by a non-attendant. There is almost no possibility that the entered number coincides with the regular password by chance, and reliable attendance management is possible. For example, when a 7-digit password is created using numbers 0 to 9 and lower-case alphabets a to z, the number of combinations becomes 78.3 billion or more. In addition, with the configuration described in claim 5 above, it is possible to make it convenient for the attendees to enter a password.

  The inventions according to claims 6 to 11 achieve the same effects as the inventions according to claims 1 to 5 using a computer.

That one or more computers, is composed by function as the database 2 and means 3 to 8 by the predetermined program.

  The password generating means 3 includes a pseudo random number generating means 10, and the pseudo random number generating means 10 generates a character string of 5 digits or more by a combination of pseudo random numbers. For example, when generating a 7-digit character string using pseudo-random numbers from 56 kinds of character symbols consisting of numbers other than 0 and 1, lower case alphabets excluding l and o, and upper case alphabets excluding L and O, about 1 trillion 954.8 billion passwords can be generated.

  The information associating means 4 associates the personal identification number created as described above with information related to the lecture. That is, each password is assigned corresponding to information such as a subject, a teacher, a day of the week, a time limit, a classroom, and an implementation date. As a result, it is possible to determine from which personal identification number, which subject attended, which teacher received the lecture, and the like. With such a function of the information association means 4, a personal identification number database (DB) 21 as shown in FIG. 2 is constructed in the master database 2.

  In the database 2, a student information DB 22 indicating information related to students is constructed. In this student information DB 22, each student's unique information is associated with a student number (corresponding to the student number in the claim), that is, the student's name, mail address, etc. are associated with each student number. It is recorded.

  The input number detection means 6 detects the input number input by the communication terminal 13 via the WEB management means 12. Then, the number collating unit 7 stores the input number detected by the input number detecting unit 6 and the number stored in the master database 2, that is, the code number stored in the code number DB 21 and the student information DB 22. Check the stored student number.

  The determination means 8 determines which student attends and is late, based on the verification result of the number verification means 7. Based on this determination, an attendance situation DB 23 as shown in FIG. 2 can be constructed in the master database 2, for example. In this attendance status DB 23, 25 and 26 are summaries of attendance status for each student (student number), and 27 and 28 are examples of summarization for each subject.

  Attendance management using the attendance status management system 1 configured as described above is performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 100, a personal identification number is created by the personal identification number creating means 3, and then in step 101, the personal identification number is associated with information related to the lecture. In step 102, as shown in FIG. 4, the personal identification number 31 is printed on the attendance card 30, and in step 103, the attendance card 30 is distributed to students in the classroom. After that, the students who have received the attendance card 30 operate the communication terminal 13 (see FIG. 1) that constitutes a part of the number input means 5 in step 104 to make a number disclosed on the Internet 11. At the WEB site for input, enter the PIN number of your attendance card distributed to you and your student number. Then, in step 105, the code number and student number input by the input number detecting means 6 are detected. In step 106, the code number and student number are checked by the code number checking means 7, and the code number is checked. If the student number is regular, it is determined in step 107 that the student was present and the data is organized in the master database 2 (see FIG. 2).

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a system that enables efficient and accurate management of attendance status while suppressing an increase in cost in a lecture hall such as a university.
