In the safety confirmation system S according to the present embodiment, a hierarchy in which the manager registers the employee and a hierarchy in which the employee registers the family are divided. Therefore, employees do not need to present information about their family to the manager. In addition, the burden of managing the family members of the employees can be reduced.

  In addition, since the employee enters information on the family in advance and then invites the family, even a family who is not used to operating the family terminal 20 such as a child or an elderly person can easily register. .

  Since the management server 100 automatically generates authentication information and transmits it to the transmission destination when the employee inputs the transmission destination corresponding to the family, there is no need for the employee itself to transmit the authentication information. The authentication information is less likely to be abused by third parties.

Second Embodiment
Safety confirmation system S concerning this embodiment performs processing of operation check of family terminal 20 in addition to processing of a 1st embodiment. This makes it possible to check whether the family terminal 20 authenticated in the first embodiment is still used by the family. The other configurations and processes are similar to those of the first embodiment.

[Configuration of Management Server 100]
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the management server 100 according to the present embodiment. The control unit 110 of the management server 100 according to the present embodiment further includes an operation check unit 116 in addition to the configuration of FIG. 3.

  The operation confirmation unit 116 transmits a message of an operation inquiry to the family terminal 20 authenticated in the first embodiment, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed since authentication of the family terminal 20 or a previous inquiry. . The transmission destination information acquired by the transmission destination acquisition unit 112 may be used as the transmission destination of the inquiry message, or the terminal information acquired by the information reception unit 115 may be used. The inquiry message includes a link to the safety confirmation system S.

  When using transmission destination information as a transmission destination, the operation confirmation unit 116 transmits an inquiry message to, for example, an e-mail address, a telephone number, or an SNS account indicated by the transmission destination information. When terminal information is used as a transmission destination, the operation confirmation unit 116 transmits, for example, an inquiry message to an application installed in the family terminal 20 associated with the terminal information.

  The family receiving the inquiry message accesses the safety confirmation system S in response to the inquiry message at the authenticated family terminal 20. At this time, the family terminal 20 transmits its own terminal information (second identification information) to the management server 100.

  The information receiving unit 115 of the management server 100 receives the terminal information transmitted from the family terminal 20 via the communication unit 120. When the information receiving unit 115 receives the terminal information from the family terminal 20 within a predetermined time from the transmission of the inquiry message, the operation checking unit 116 determines that there is a response from the family terminal 20.

  If the information reception unit 115 does not receive the terminal information from the family terminal 20 even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the transmission of the inquiry message, the operation confirmation unit 116 determines that there is no response from the family terminal 20. When it is determined that there is no response from the family terminal 20, the operation confirmation unit 116 notifies the employee terminal 10 of the employee ID associated with the family terminal 20 that there is no response from the family terminal 20. .

  If it is determined that there is no response from the family terminal 20, the operation confirmation unit 116 may transmit the inquiry message to the family terminal 20 again. At this time, even if the operation confirmation unit 116 determines that there is no response from the family terminal 20 even if transmission of the message of the inquiry is repeated a predetermined number of times, that there is no response from the family terminal 20 to the employee terminal 10 Make a notification of

  The employee who has received the notification inputs destination information on the family again on the employee terminal 10. Thereafter, the management server 100 authenticates the family terminal 20 as in the first embodiment.

[Effect of Second Embodiment]
According to the present embodiment, the operation confirmation can be periodically performed from the safety confirmation system S to the authenticated family terminal 20, and if there is no response, the employee is urged to recertify the family terminal 20. Can. Therefore, even when the terminal used by the family is changed, the new terminal can be promptly authenticated as the family terminal 20. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the situation where the family terminal 20 can not access the safety confirmation system S when the safety confirmation by the safety confirmation system S actually becomes necessary.

  As mentioned above, although the present invention was explained using an embodiment, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the range given in the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modification and change are possible within the range of the gist. is there. For example, a specific embodiment of device distribution and integration is not limited to the above embodiment, and all or a part thereof may be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit. Can. In addition, new embodiments produced by any combination of a plurality of embodiments are also included in the embodiments of the present invention. The effects of the new embodiment generated by the combination combine the effects of the original embodiment.

  The processors of the management server 100, the employee terminal 10, and the family terminal 20 are the main body of each step (process) included in the information processing method illustrated in FIG. That is, the processors of the management server 100, the employee terminal 10 and the family terminal 20 read a program for executing the information processing method shown in FIG. 7 from the storage unit, and execute the program to execute the management server 100 and the employee terminal.
