2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the spread of computers, it has been widely practiced to manage the work results of workers, such as going to work and leaving work, by using computers. In this computer management, a worker uses predetermined identification information (ID (Identificatio) on the terminal.
After n)) is input and the user is authenticated, for example, by selecting “Work” on the screen, the work is saved as data.

[0003]

By the way, when managing work at a plurality of work locations, a head office server for centrally managing work performance is installed, while a dedicated terminal for input is installed at each work location. It is conceivable that the work record is transmitted from the input-only terminal to the headquarters server via the network.

However, when input-only terminals are installed at each work location as described above, a problem arises in that a plurality of workers rush into the input-only terminals at work or the like, and the certification of the work time is delayed by waiting for input. Occurs. In addition, increasing the number of input-only terminals to solve this problem increases the cost burden on the workplace side, complicates the management of terminal equipment, and occupies the communication line at the office when accessing each terminal. Occurs. Further, when a personal computer is used as the input-only terminal, there is a possibility that the space of the office at the place of work is reduced.

[0005] Furthermore, in the case of temporary staff, it is often the case that one works one after another at different workplaces or businesses, and it is necessary to memorize different input methods for each workplace or business each time. Invite. On the other hand, various terminals such as a personal computer and a mobile phone have become widespread, and if a worker can input his / her work record with his / her own user terminal, the input operation is simple. Even when the input-only terminal is away from the work place, it is convenient if the input can be performed with these user terminals. In particular, mobile phones having an Internet communication function have become very popular today, and if input can be made using such mobile phones, it is expected that the input operation will be easier. In addition. When a worker performs an input operation at his or her own user terminal, there is a risk that an unauthorized input may be performed even though he or she is not working at the work location. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system for preventing such input.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and by inputting a work record by a user terminal possessed by a worker, the entire system is simplified and input processing of the worker is facilitated. It is an object of the present invention to provide a work management system and method capable of preventing unauthorized input and improving work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a work management system of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present system” as appropriate) 50
1 is a configuration block diagram illustrating one embodiment of the present invention. A system 50 includes a server system 51 and work location terminals 52 and 53 installed at work locations A and B. The server system 51 includes an identification information database (hereinafter abbreviated to “DB” as appropriate) 2, a workplace database (DB) 4, a work record database (DB) 6, an identification information generation unit 8, a control unit 10. , An input / output control unit 20 for transmitting and receiving information to and from the network 100, a worker information database (DB) 22, a clock 24, and the like. The control means 10 controls the entire system and can be realized as a central processing unit of a server system. In this embodiment, the server system 51 constitutes a Web site (work management site) as a whole.

At each of the work places A and B, work place terminals 52 and 53 for acquiring work place identification information, which will be described in detail later, are installed, respectively. Work places A and B correspond to work places of workers α and β, respectively. It has become. At the work location A, a management terminal 92 is provided for the manager of the work location (the manager of the dispatch company) to grasp the work status of the worker α. The server system 51 includes a network 1 such as the Internet.
00, the work location terminals 52 and 53, the management terminal 92, and the user terminals 70 and 72 of the workers α and β are connected respectively. The network 100 is connected to a management terminal 90 of a staffing company that manages the workers α and β. Each terminal 52, 53, 70, 72, 90,
Reference numeral 92 designates a specified URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and can access the server system 51.

As the network 100, instead of the Internet, a dedicated line, a LAN (Local Area Network) is used.
rk), WAN (Wide Area Network) and the like may be used. In addition, work location terminals 52 and 53, management terminals 90 and 92,
As the user terminals 70 and 72, a terminal such as a personal computer or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, PHS (registered trademark), or PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) can be used. In addition to the above, the mobile terminal may be mobile (mobile) such as a palmtop computer or a laptop computer. Each mobile terminal has WWW (worl)
A browser capable of browsing Web pages of (d wide web) is appropriately installed. In this embodiment, the terminal 5
Reference numerals 3 and 70 denote mobile terminals, which are connected to the network 100 via a predetermined mobile communication network. It is preferable that the work location terminal and the user terminal are mobile terminals having an Internet communication function from the viewpoints of convenience of the worker and space saving at the work location. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of operability and the like, it is preferable to use a personal computer or the like as the management terminal.

In the server system 51, the identification information generating means 8 includes identification information for specifying each work location A, B.
(Keywords, numeric strings, character strings, etc.) for each work location. To generate the identification information, for example, the type and the number of columns of a character string or the like are designated for each work location, and the character string or the like may be generated using a predetermined algorithm or a random number. The identification information may include a symbol or a number (for example, “56X”). In FIG. 1, the identification information generating means 8 is provided separately from the control means 10, but the identification information may be generated by the control means 10 based on a program for generating the identification information. It is preferable that the identification information generated for each work location change in real time. For example, if the identification information is the same throughout the day, a worker who knows the identification information at the time of going to work may not enter the work place and may enter the leaving information from another place. From such a point, it is preferable to change the identification information at short intervals as much as possible. However, a predetermined time period is set so that the identification information does not change between when the worker knows the identification information and when the worker inputs the work record. It is preferable to keep it constant during this period.

The identification information database (DB) 2
The identification information generated by the identification information generating means 8 is stored in association with the work location information. When the identification information changes in real time, time (band) information to which the identification information is applied is also stored in association with the identification information. For example, in the identification information data 2a, regarding the identification information of the work location A,
From 8:00 to 8:30, the keyword “1234” is applied, and from 14:15 to 14:30, “6351” is applied, and from 18:15 to 1
It is recorded that “9733” is applied during 8:30.

The workplace database (DB) 4 stores information on workers in association with information on workplaces where they work. For example, the work place data 4a records that the work place of worker α is A and the work place of worker β is B. When the work location changes frequently, such as a temporary employee, new work data is stored each time. For example, if the work location of a certain worker is different every day, or in the morning and afternoon, the date and time zone information to that effect are also stored in association with each other, and when the worker is authenticated, it is based on the time zone information. Authentication is performed.

The work record database (DB) 6 stores the work record inputted by the worker from the user terminal. Here, "work performance" refers to attendance, departure, absence, paid vacation,
Acts (items) related to work, such as overtime hours. The work record is appropriately recorded for each worker, each work day, or each work place so that data can be processed. Also, date information or time information in the case of going to work or leaving work is included as appropriate.

Further, a worker information database (DB)
Reference numeral 22 stores the worker's authentication information (ID, password, etc.) and other information (address, scheduled work hours, contact information, etc.). The worker's authentication information is used for personal authentication of a person who has accessed the server system 51 from the user terminals 70 and 72. The clock 24 is used when acquiring the time of accessing the server system 51 from the user terminals 70 and 72 and the input time of the work record, and using the time as the time of going to work or leaving work.

Next, a processing flow in the present system and a user terminal connected thereto will be described with reference to FIG. In this figure, assume that worker α works at work location A. First, in the server system 51, the identification information generation means 8 generates identification information (keyword) for each work location (step 200), and the control means 10 transmits each keyword to the work location terminal of the corresponding work location (step 200). Step 21
0). The control means 10 also stores the generated keyword in the identification information DB2. The work location terminal 52 appropriately displays the transmitted (acquired) keyword on a predetermined display screen (step 300). The display mode on the work location terminal 52 is as follows.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a keyword is displayed in a predetermined area of the display screen 52a.

Returning to FIG. 2, worker α browses the keyword displayed on work location terminal 52 (step 400) and inputs the keyword to user terminal 70 along with the user ID and password (step 410). The input items are transmitted to the server system 51 (Step 420). The control unit 10 compares the received user ID and password with the information in the worker information DB 22 and performs an authentication process (step 220). Then, if it is determined that the worker is a regular worker, the control means 10 determines whether or not the input keyword is correct (step 230). This (keyword) authentication processing is performed in detail according to the flow shown in FIG.

In FIG. 4, first, the control means 10 acquires the user ID, password, and keyword transmitted in step 420 (steps 231 and 23).
3). Further, the control means 10 acquires the time when the server system received the input items in step 420 with reference to the clock 24 (step 232). Next, control means 1
0 searches the worker information DB 22 for the worker corresponding to the user ID and the password (step 234). Then, the work location of the found worker is searched from the workplace DB 4 (step 235). Next, the control means 10 searches the identification information DB2 for a keyword in a time zone including the reception time based on the searched work location and the reception time acquired in Step 232 (Step 236). For example, when the reception time is “8:07”, the keyword “123” of the work location A in the time zone “8:00 to 8:30” in FIG.
4 ". Then, the control means 10 executes step 2
It is determined whether the keyword retrieved in step 36 matches the keyword acquired in step 233 (step 2).
37) If they match, it is determined that the input (acquired) keyword is correct, and the authentication process ends.

Returning to FIG. 2, when the keyword authentication processing is completed, the control means 10 transmits a screen for inputting the work record to the user terminal 70 (step 240). The worker α sets a predetermined work record according to the input screen to the user terminal 7.
0 is input (step 430), and the input items are transmitted to the server system 51 (step 440). The control means 10 also obtains the scheduled working hours of the worker from the worker information DB 22 (step 250), and determines whether the working record input by the worker is related to the time (attendance, leaving, etc.).
(Step 260). Then, in the case of time, a comparison is made with a scheduled work time zone described later (step 27).
0), register the value based on the result as work record
(Step 280). On the other hand, when the work record is not related to the time (for example, absence, paid, etc.), the control unit 10 registers the input items as the work record.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are flowcharts showing a comparison process between a work result (hereinafter, referred to as “input time”) input by a worker and a scheduled work time zone. In FIG. 5, first, the control means 10 determines whether or not the input time exceeds the scheduled work time zone (step 271). For example, the working hours are 8: 0
In the case of 0 to 17:00, it is determined whether this range is exceeded.
Then, if it is determined that it has exceeded, the start time (8:00) or the end time (17:00) of the scheduled work time zone is registered as the work result (step 272). Here, when the input time is the work time, the start time is used, and when the input time is the work time, the end time is used. Whether to go to work or leave is determined from the input items of the worker.

If "No" in step 271, the control means 10 determines whether or not the input time is equal to the payable time (step 273). Here, the pay-payment target time refers to a unit time to be employed as the time of going to work or leaving work in the calculation of working hours within the range of the scheduled working hours. For example, if the scheduled working hours are from 8:00 to 17:00, the payable hours are 8:00, 8:10,.
It is specified as 7:00. Then, if the input time is equal to the pay target time, the input time is registered as work performance (step 274).

On the other hand, if "No" in step 273,
The control unit 10 registers the pay target time closest to the input time as the work performance (step 275). here,
If the input time is a work time, a pay target time later than the input time is employed, and if the input time is a leave time, a pay target time earlier than the input time is employed. For example, input time
If (working time) is 8:16 and the payable time close to that is 8:10 and 8:20, the working result is 8:20. Also, for example, if the input time (work-out time) is 16:33 and the payable payment time close to it is 16:30 and 16:40, 16:30 is the work performance. If the input time is later than the start time (8:00) of the scheduled work time zone, it is processed as being late, and if it is earlier than the end time (17:00), it is processed as being early.

FIG. 6 shows a mode of calculating the clock-in and clock-out time according to the flow of FIG. 5, and the input time (7:50, 17:15) exceeding the clock time zone is clock-in at 8:00 and 17:00, respectively. (Time out), and input times (8:16, 16:33) different from the payable time are processed as 8:20, 16:30.

Next, a display screen on the user terminal in the above processing flow will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, an example of a screen on a mobile terminal capable of accessing the Internet will be described. First, on the user authentication screen 500,
User ID, password, text box 500a
And a keyword are sequentially input, and a “login” button 50 is input.
When 0b is selected, authentication processing of the input item is performed. When the authentication is completed, a menu screen 510 for inputting work results
Is displayed, and when the "time input" button 510a is selected, a time input screen 520 is displayed. When the "work registration" button 520a is selected here, the work registration screen 5
The clock-in time “08:30” calculated by the flow of FIG. The clock-in time is calculated, for example, by acquiring the time at which the information indicating that the "register" button 520a is selected is received by the server system by the clock 24 in the system, and as the clock performance in the flow of FIG.

Similarly, an example of a display screen when another work record is input on the user terminal will be described with reference to FIG. After logging in, the menu screen 600 displays an “Attendance Input” button 600a, a “Paid Absence Process” button 600b, a “Monthly Confirmation” button 600c, and the like. Here, when the "time attendance" button 600a is selected, the time attendance screen 61 is displayed.
When "0" is displayed and the "Work attendance" button 610a is further selected, an attendance work screen 640 is displayed, so that "Yes" or "No" selection buttons 640a indicate whether or not normal work is performed.
To select. Further, when the “time out registration” button 610 b is selected on the time attendance input screen 610, the fact that the time is “17:20” is displayed on the time out registration screen 650. The departure time is
The clock can be obtained by the clock 24 in the system in the same manner as the above-mentioned work time. When the “overtime registration” button 610 c is selected on the time entry screen 610, a text box 660 a for inputting the overtime hours of the day is displayed on the overtime registration screen 660.
660b is displayed. Here, a numerical value of "2 hours 00 minutes" is input, and a "register" button 660c is selected to perform registration. On the other hand, when the “paid absentee processing” button 600b is selected on the menu screen 600, the absentee processing screen 620 is displayed.
Is displayed, and absence processing is registered. Further, when the “monthly confirmation” button 600c is selected on the menu screen 600, a monthly confirmation screen 630 is displayed, and it is possible to browse the work results of the current month.

Next, an example of a display screen on the management terminal 90 of the temporary staffing company will be described with reference to FIGS. The management terminal 90 requests the server system 51 to transmit information, receives predetermined information from the work record DB 6 as appropriate, and performs management work. In FIG. 9, the predetermined work date (June 2000)
(Employees) belonging to a certain staffing company
The work record of G is displayed as a screen 700 on the WWW browser. Here, ○ indicates a work day, and ● indicates a absence day (unpaid), but it is possible to display a leave of absence, a paid vacation, or the like with other colors or identification marks as appropriate. For example, a blue circle can be used for attendance, a white circle for departure, a red circle for absence (unpaid), and a pink circle for paid vacation. The manager confirms the work performance of each worker, selects the corresponding employee's check box 700a, and performs approval processing. When a specific employee name 700b is selected, the display jumps to the work performance screen for each employee shown in FIG. 10 to obtain detailed information.

FIG. 10 shows the work result screen 710 of the employee A in June 2000, in which the administrator can view the start time, work time, break time, overtime work hours, approval / non-permission, etc. of each day. Can be. When date 710a is selected,
Jump to the time data correction screen shown in FIG.
Can be modified.

FIG. 11 shows a time data correction screen 720 for employee A on June 1, 2000. The administrator inputs a predetermined numerical value as appropriate in a text box 720a and selects a register button 720b to display the work performance. Can be modified.

As described above, the temporary staffing company can grasp the work situation, and can use this information for management of workers and salary calculation. For example, the acquired (or corrected) work record can be converted into a predetermined data format such as CSV (Comma Separeated Value format), and the information can be transferred to a computer that performs payroll calculation and work management.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, in the above embodiment, when a worker inputs a keyword (identification information) of a work location, the worker browses the keyword displayed on the work location terminal.
For example, the user terminal may be connected to the work location terminal, or communication may be performed between the terminals, and the keyword may be acquired by the user terminal.

In the above embodiment, the keyword is always transmitted to the work location terminal. For example, a keyword transmission request is issued from the work location terminal when necessary, and the keyword is transmitted from the server system in response to the request. You may receive it.

The work management system of the present invention can be realized by a computer, various peripheral devices such as a communication device, and a software program executed by the computer. Can be distributed via a computer-readable storage medium or a communication line.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the worker inputs the work record based on the identification information obtained by the work location terminal, even if the worker performs the input using any user terminal, the worker works at the predetermined work location. Can be confirmed that work management can be performed accurately. In particular, when the identification information changes in real time, it is possible to prevent a situation where a worker who knows the identification information in advance does not work at the place of work and illegally inputs the work record.

Further, since a worker can perform input using an arbitrary user terminal, it is not necessary to set up a dedicated input terminal for each work place, and many input operations are concentrated and confused when going to work. By preparing a plurality of input terminals, the system does not become complicated. In addition, work management can be easily performed according to various work forms of workers.
