[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when managing a work site such as a construction site, the number of workers who work on a given day is about 1/5 of all the workers to be managed. It is said that. Moreover, among them, there are various workers such as regular workers, supporters, short-term workers, newcomers, late workers, etc. A significant number of workers are moving. Therefore, when comprehensive management is to be performed, basically, it is necessary to collectively grasp a plurality of work sites and manage the working conditions of the workers.

[0003] In the labor management in a work place having such a working situation, it is necessary not only to know the workers to be managed and the workers on that day, but also to know the names of the workers on that day, It is necessary to grasp and confirm the remaining persons after the scheduled time, record long-term site history, etc., and management items are very diverse. In addition, it will be necessary to check contact information and health status, and to thoroughly conduct acceptance education.

[0004] If the person in charge at each construction site individually grasps the workers at each work site, labor management, process management, and safety management, there is inconsistency. It is difficult to manage. Therefore, it is necessary to have a workplace management system capable of accurately grasping the unique information of each worker and capable of comprehensively managing workplaces including process management, labor management, and safety management. The present applicant has proposed a labor safety management device (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-42060) and a workplace management system (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-82455) that meet the above demands. The outline is described below.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of a conventional work place management system. 61 is a work card, 62 is a worker ID card, 63 is a reader / writer, 64 and 65 are card readers, 66 is a printer, 67 Is the display, 6

An outline of workplace management using the workplace management system will be described. First, the worker checks the presence or absence of a card when entering / leaving. If the worker has a card, the card is read. If the worker does not have a card, a predetermined item is entered using key input means. And issue the card. In the card reading process, the card information is read and checked, and its contents are displayed on the screen and written in the visitor file.

In the process of inputting predetermined items, information unique to each worker is entered in a data sheet, and key input is performed based on the information. Then, the input information is registered in the visitor file and the management master file, a card is issued, and the management master and the register and the card issue book are output.

[0012] As described above, the visitor file stores information on visitors at the workplace at that time, and the management master file stores information on all visitors from the past. Then, predetermined data search, totalization, and classification are performed on data registered in the visitor file according to a timer setting or an instruction from the operator as needed,
A list of visitors and other various lists are listed and output.

[0013] These data are collected by a central host system through a telephone line or other communication lines, for example, disaster information processing, process management information, labor management information processing,
Health management information processing, work instruction book creation processing, construction log creation processing, and the like are performed.

As described above, a plurality of work sites are comprehensively managed in the host system, and workers who frequently move between the work sites can always know which work site they are working in. We can predict disasters at places and take measures to prevent disasters before they happen.

[0015]

On the other hand, in an ultra-large-scale construction project with the expansion of the construction scale, workers from a plurality of various companies come in and out. Various problems arise when trying to manage the above-mentioned system in a concentrated manner.

First, in order to issue a unified storage card to the workers related to all the work sites, since the workers of a plurality of companies are targeted, it is necessary to make a unified storage card through all the companies. Become. Therefore, the degree of freedom for each company is limited, and in a company that has already prepared a storage card, the card is issued twice, resulting in waste of card issuance. Also, as the information read from the storage card increases, the burden of data reading and processing on the system side increases.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an entry / exit management system using a card capable of identifying and reading / writing a storage card having a different information storage configuration and eliminating useless reading, and a card therefor It is an object to provide a reading device.

Knob recess, 56 indicates an air outlet, and 57 indicates a spring.

In FIG. 6, the card mounting step 51 is substantially the same size as an IC card and has a step.
The card contact terminal section 52 is a terminal that is provided at a position that comes into contact with a terminal of the IC card when the IC card is mounted on the card mounting step section 51 and that reads and writes data stored in the IC card. The read switch 53 is connected to the card mounting
It is an instruction key for mounting a C card and starting a read / write operation, and a read display pilot lamp 54 is a lamp that lights up during a read / write operation on the IC card. The air outlet 56 is provided with a plurality of small holes (or slits) provided along each side wall or lower corner side of the card mounting step 51.
, And a blower is housed inside the card mounting step 51.
The air for dust cleaning is blown toward the IC card mounting surface. The concave portion 55 for the card knob is
I of the card mounting step 51 so that the IC card can be mounted on the card mounting step 51 while pinching the end of the IC card.
It is configured with a dent or a notch so as to form a gap between the C card mounting surface and the IC card.

In the card reading device having the above-described structure, an IC card is mounted along the bottom surface of the card mounting step portion 51 from the card knob concave portion 55 side, and the reading switch 53 is pressed to read / write data from / to the IC card. It is like that. Further, the IC card contact terminal portion 52 or the vicinity thereof is supported so as to be pushed up from the bottom surface of the card mounting step portion 51 by a spring 57, and the switch is operated by mounting the IC card and pressing it against the spring 57. And the reading switch 53 may be used instead.

Since an IC card that is carried by a worker at the site is easily stained, the air for cleaning dust is blown out as described above, thereby eliminating a reading / writing operation defect due to the contamination of the IC card. And can be adapted to a particularly dusty site environment.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a work place to record the entry / exit time of a worker and record the site history is described. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can be similarly applied to a general business place. It may be applied to communal buildings. In this case, the work place and the construction name are, for example, a business place and a building, and the cooperating company and the foreman belong. In addition, as a memory card, an IC
Although an example using a card has been described, it goes without saying that an optical card, a magnetic card, and other recording cards may be employed.

[0044]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, only the card identification data portion of the IC card is standardized, and a read / write control program is provided in the host computer for the other data portions. Then, IC
Since the cards can be made freely by the respective companies, the IC cards can be shared for company-specific management and common management, and wasteful IC card issuance can be reduced. In addition, since all the information necessary for each individual on a daily basis is stored in the card, it is possible to prove and confirm them without having to carry a qualification / license, insurance card, etc. on a daily basis. Further, since the history data for a certain period is stored in the IC card, the host computer can use the data storage area for the other use, thereby reducing the storage capacity, effectively using the storage area, and storing wastefully. The processing can be reduced, and the efficiency of use of the host computer can be increased.
