The control unit 221 reads all the “student IDs” in which “attendance” on the day in the attendance management DB 222 is “attendance” and “attended” is “leaving” and received from the wireless tag reader 103. Compare with student ID. As a result of the comparison, if the student IDs match, it is understood that the student has re-entered the room. When a student who re-enters the room is detected, the control unit 221 obtains the time when the student has left by subtracting the “leave start time” from the current time, and sets it as “leave time”. For students who have repeatedly left and re-entered multiple times, the “seating time” is cumulatively added. In addition, the “exit start time” of the student who re-enters the room is set to the initial state.

Next, the control unit 221 tries to detect a student who has left the room. The control unit 221 sets “Attendance” for all students whose “Attendance” on the day in the Attendance Management DB 222 is “Attendance”. Next, the control unit 221 compares the “student ID” in the attendance management DB 222 with the student ID received from the wireless tag reader 103, and sets the “attended status” corresponding to the matched “student ID” to “ Set to "".
This process is performed for all student IDs received from the wireless tag reader 103. Through this process, students who have left the room are identified.
Next, in order to detect the student immediately after leaving the room, the control unit 221 indicates that “attendance” on the day in the attendance management DB 222 is “attendance”, and “attendance status” is “leave”, The current time is set in the “Leave Time” for the “Leave Time” in the initial state.

Thereafter, the control unit 221 repeatedly performs access to the wireless tag reader 103 of the classroom 100a, detection of a reentrant, and detection of a person leaving the room at predetermined time intervals. Further, when the class ends, the control unit 221 tries to detect a student who has not re-entered the room until the class ends after leaving the room. The control unit 221 starts “exit from the current time” in the “exit time” although the “attendance” on the day in the attendance management DB 222 is “attendance” and the “attended status” corresponds to “leaving”. Set by adding the time minus "time".
Thus far, the attendance confirmation process during the class in the one-time class in the classroom 100a is completed.
