Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a management system, and more particularly to a management system which can be applied to, for example, management of the attendance (work status) of a worker such as a house construction site, progress management of a process, and the like. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, general attendance management in factories, offices, and the like is performed by a time clock, an attendance book, and the like. In recent years, with the advance of information technology, a management system for managing attendance using, for example, an IC card and a card reader has been proposed.

[0003]

However, there are the following problems in attendance management using a time clock, an attendance book, and the like.

[0004] That is, since the time clock must be installed at a predetermined place, it is not possible to use it for work attendance management at a construction site such as a small building or a private house construction site. However, it is not appropriate from the point that it is difficult to secure a stable installation site because it is only the site at first, and it is not known whether it can be safely managed, and the attendance book is also not appropriate.

[0005] In addition, in attendance management using an IC card and a card reader, in addition to the above-mentioned problems, there are also problems such as high cost and the necessity of always carrying the IC card.

Further, in places such as a construction site such as a small building, a private house construction site, and the like, it may be assumed that a worker (craftsman) is not specified.

Therefore, at present, it is difficult to manage attendance at places such as a construction site of a small building or the like, a private house construction site, or the like.

[0008] Similarly, it has been difficult to manage the progress of the process at a construction site such as a small building or a private house construction site.

[0009] As described above, it is difficult to manage work attendance because of the difficulty in managing the work in the end, and in particular, time data has to be based on simple self-reporting or estimation. .

[0010] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a management system which has solved the above problems.

[0011]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display means for displaying information related to a predetermined place placed at a predetermined place, information displayed on the display means, and sender identification information. Communication means for transmitting the managed information including the following, and management means for receiving the managed information from the communication means and creating management information based on the managed information.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the information related to the predetermined location is a password that can be recognized by the management means and specifies the predetermined location.

The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that, in claim 2, the password is different each time the display means is operated once.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the management means has an authentication means for authenticating information related to the predetermined place received from the communication means. And

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the display means is provided at each of a plurality of predetermined locations, and the management means transmits the information transmitted from a communication means. The method is characterized by receiving information related to a plurality of predetermined locations.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the communication means is a portable terminal capable of wireless communication.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a construction site management system to which the present invention is applied.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a password display device, which includes a display unit 1A for displaying a password (for example, 6-digit alphanumeric characters);
A touch key 1B as an input means, and a different password (unique for each touch and unpredictable in advance) is displayed every time the touch key 1B is touched.
A is displayed.

As a system in which a different password is displayed each time the touch key 1B is touched, there is a so-called one-time password system. This is used, for example, as a system for guaranteeing security when connecting to an intranet via a public line, and there are various methods. In the present embodiment, a device for authenticating a password (details will be described later) However, in an authentication server, for example, by managing a large number of different passwords (or their display order) displayed on the password display device for each individual password display device, an authentication request is issued from the public network as described later. It is possible to specify from which password display device the entered password is. In addition, since a different password is displayed each time the touch key of the password display device is touched, the password cannot be confirmed unless the password display device is located. In other words, the person who is attending work cannot enter a password for attendance management as described later unless he / she actually comes to the place.

Such a password display device 1 has the same shape and the same size as, for example, an IC card or the like, and is extremely easy to carry and inexpensive.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a construction site such as a small building, a private house, or the like.
It can be placed in a lockable box fixed on a pillar or the like, and its management is safe and easy.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a portable terminal capable of wireless data communication such as a PHS or a portable telephone, which transmits a password displayed on the password display device 1 and other necessary information (for example, sender information) and transmits necessary information. It functions as a communication means for receiving the information, and is carried by a worker or the like who works at a construction site.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a public network, which is interposed between the portable terminal 3 and the access server 5 when transmitting and receiving signals. An authentication server 6 is connected to the access server 5.

The authentication server 6 has a function of storing a large number of different passwords (or their display order) displayed on the password display device in a memory and managing these passwords for each individual password display device. That is, it determines which password display device the password for the authentication request from the mobile terminal sent from the access server belongs to, and if the corresponding password display device exists, the password is determined to be correct. An authentication response (for example, a message such as "confirmed.") Is returned to the access server 5 (if it does not exist, a message such as "cannot be confirmed" is returned). The access server 5 has an access log 7 in an internal memory. The access log records necessary information from information transmitted from the mobile terminal 3 to the authentication server.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a computer system as an attendance management device for performing attendance management, which is provided with an attendance management application for performing attendance management, and refers to the contents of the access log 7 and the database in the master device 8. Then, management described below is performed according to the attendance management application. The database in the master device 8 records attendance management information corresponding to the information recorded in the access log, that is, the names of construction sites, names of workers and the like, names of organizations to which the authentication request belongs, and the like.

The worker or the like who is to manage the attendance at the construction site 2 transmits information including the password displayed after touching the touch key of the password display device 1 installed at the construction site 2 from the portable terminal 3. , The attendance status is managed as described below.

The information transmitted from the portable terminal 3 includes:
A password displayed on the password display device 1 after touching the touch key, a number indicating whether to go to work or leave (for example, 1 for work or 2 for work), the organization to which the person who operated the portable terminal 3 belongs (** construction , Etc.) (for example, a two-digit number starting from 10 and a two-digit specific number that does not belong to any place), and such information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 3. As a specific operation of the mobile terminal 3, for example, when transmitting as a text mail, while viewing the display unit of the mobile terminal 3, these pieces of information are input, for example, in the order of above, and the destination address of the authentication server 6. Set the address and send.

Since the operator does not change the number or the like corresponding to the organization, it is sufficient to change only the password and transmit the password, and the operation is simple.

The access server 5 receives transmission information from the portable terminal 3 via the public network 4 and receives the corresponding authentication server 6
The transmission information from the portable terminal 3 is transmitted to the terminal. The authentication server 6 receiving the information from the access server 5 performs an authentication process. That is, it is determined from which password display device the password of the information is from, and if it is confirmed that the password is the password of any of the password display devices set in the authentication server 6, the password is determined. Is returned, and information of a specific password display device to which the password related to the authentication request (access) belongs (for example, a device ID number corresponding to the password display device) is transmitted. The access server 5 having received the information stores the information of the specific password display device to which the password related to the authentication request (access) belongs (for example, the device ID number corresponding to the password display device) in the access log 7 and the authentication information. The information about the person who made the request, the telephone number of the portable terminal 3, and the reception time of the authentication request are recorded.

The computer system 9 processes the record information in the access log by referring to the database in the master device 8 according to the attendance management application, performs attendance management for each building site, and stores necessary information. Record (save). An example of the processing will be described below.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the access log. Here, the house column is information on a specific password display device (for example, a device ID number corresponding to the password display device).
The example of the record display of the construction site corresponding to (the personal name of the private house: Yamashita House, Yoshida House ...) is shown in the actual access log, and information (for example,
The device ID number corresponding to the password display device is recorded. Further, the column of “in / out” describes a number for distinguishing whether the authentication request (access) is for the time of going to work or for the time of leaving the work. It indicates that 2 is the time of (exit) when leaving the office. In the column of company number, the number corresponding to the company to which the requester belongs is recorded, and in the column of mobile, the telephone number of the mobile terminal (in this case, mobile phone) for the authentication request of the requester is displayed. The time of the authentication request is recorded in the time column. In addition, in the section of the house, "Illegal"
There is a record when the password for the authentication request did not correspond to any password in the authentication server. Here, only the telephone number of the mobile terminal and the time at the time of access Is recorded.

FIG. 3 shows an example (part) in which each access is sorted by house (here, only Yamashita House) based on the access log of FIG. 2 according to the attendance management application. Further, FIG. 4 refers to the database in the master device 8 based on the rearranged information in FIG. 3 and, for a specific private house, here, Yamashita's house, Here is an example (partial) listing the attendance status of employee names. That is, referring to a database (a specific example of which is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7), the company number recorded in the access log is converted into a corresponding organization name (company name) (see FIG. 6), and The telephone number is converted into a corresponding name (see FIG. 7).

As described above, it is possible to manage the attendance of the worker at the construction site with a simple configuration. Also, 1
One authentication server (access log) and one computer system (attendance management application) can centrally manage the attendance of workers at many construction sites (for example, based on the access logs of construction site workers). Thus, it is possible to calculate the amount of the workers' compensation insurance, and the processing efficiency is greatly improved.)

In this embodiment, in addition to the attendance management at the construction site as described above, the present invention can be applied to the process management at the construction site. In this case, the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 3 is not a password displayed on the password display device 1 after touching the touch key, but a number indicating the process management (for example, a number indicating the attendance or leaving work) (for example, 3), a number corresponding to the process (for example, 001 for the basis, 002 for the inspection, etc.), a number indicating the progress of the process (for example, 1 for continuation, 2 for completion),
A number (for example, a two-digit number starting from 10) corresponding to the person in charge of the process or the organization (** construction etc.) to which the process belongs, and these are continuously input and transmitted. Upon receiving the authentication request based on such information, the authentication server 6 performs an authentication process based on the password as described above, and returns an authentication response to the access server 5. The access server 5 determines, based on the above number, that the access is related to the process management, stores necessary information based on the above-described information in a log different from the access log, and the date of the access. And record

Based on the access log created by the access server in this way, the database in the master device 8 is referred to as needed, and the computer system 9
Can manage the process for each installation location of the password display device (for each house). As an example of the process management, a process management table for a private house created by the computer system 9 is shown in FIG. 5 (assuming that the computer system 9 has a process management application and a database in the master device 8 is a process management table creation). , That is, information corresponding to the above-mentioned information.)

Further, the present invention can be applied to material management. That is, as the type number corresponding to the material type to be managed, for example, A001 is an entrance door,
A002 is a waterproof sheet, B005 is a gypsum board, C12
0 is a distribution board and the like. When these materials arrive at the construction site 2, a password and a model number corresponding to the received materials can be input and transmitted from the portable terminal 3 in the same manner as described above, and the access server 5, the authentication server 6, the master The device 8 and the computer system 9 can perform material management in the same manner as described above.

As described above, the progress of the process at the construction site can be easily managed, and unnecessary work can be eliminated to contribute to improvement of work efficiency. In addition, it is possible to centrally manage the progress of processes at a plurality of construction sites.

As means for making an authentication request to the authentication server, in addition to a portable terminal, a certain information such as a symbol is transmitted as in a personal computer having communication means, and an authentication response from the authentication server is sent. Anything that can be confirmed may be used.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of personnel at a certain place and to manage the presence or absence of personnel at a number of places. System
Staff management and companion management at the event venue, management of equipment maintenance service personnel, tutor time management, that is, service staff who go to places where the management is not permanent, such as private homes, event venues, etc. The present invention can also be applied to management of the provision time and the like.
