2. Description of the Related Art In a work site such as a construction, a time card is generally used to manage the working state of a worker. When a worker goes to work, he goes to a time clock and stamps it on a time card. Also, when leaving the office after engaging in work, the time stamp is similarly stamped.

[0003]

However, it is often difficult to install a time card or a time clock at a work site. In order to install time cards and time recorders, it is necessary to set up a control room.Management rooms at such work sites are often temporary sheds and store time cards etc. Not suitable to do. Further, according to such a management method, the worker must stop by the management room when he / she goes to and from work. This is troublesome for the worker, and the burden is placed on the worker particularly when the management room is away from the place where the worker is engaged. Furthermore, since the worker sometimes forgets to stamp on the time card, the management itself may not be possible.

[0004] Further, according to such a management method, it is not possible to grasp in real time the status of worker attending and leaving work in an office or the like that is far from the work site. In particular, it is not possible to confirm whether all the workers have left at the end of the work, and there is a problem in terms of safety management.
Furthermore, when performing processing such as salary calculation, work such as calculating and totaling working hours based on the time stamped,
It has to be done for each worker's time card, which is very troublesome.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a management system which does not require a space for installing a time card or a time clock, and which allows real-time monitoring of the attendance and departure of workers and the number of workers at each work site. The purpose is to do.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, a work site management system according to the present invention is a system for managing the attendance and departure of workers at a work site, and includes an information code representing personal information of the workers. A portable terminal that reads an information code from the printed nameplate and transmits radio waves based on the read information,
A reception and information processing means is provided for receiving radio waves transmitted from the terminal to generate reception information, processing the reception information, and obtaining attendance / departure information regarding the attendance / departure of each worker.

According to the present invention, a portable terminal for reading an information code from an operator's name plate, and a reception and information terminal located in a control room near the work site or an office remote from the work site. By transmitting and receiving radio waves to and from the processing means, it is possible to process the received information and obtain the attendance information of each worker. Therefore, there is no need to store a time card or the like in a small management room or to have the worker drop in at the management room, and it is possible to grasp in real time the worker's attending / leaving status and the number of people at each work site.

Whenever the manager reads the nameplate of each worker or finishes reading the nameplates of all the workers who have come to work by a predetermined time, the manager 2
4 is transmitted to the transceiver and input to the computer (step S104, step S104).
201). The computer has a data input unit 4 shown in FIG.
The received data is input via the server 1 and, in step S202, the received data is processed to create attendance data and input to the attendance processing unit 42. The attendance processing unit 42 performs the attendance processing based on the input attendance data. That is, data such as attendance time and work place is added to the data of each worker recorded in the work data recording unit 45, and an entrance flag is set. These data are stored and recorded in the work data recording unit 45 in step S203.

When performing the leaving process, the manager selects leaving registration in step S101 and reads the information code of the name plate of the worker. In response, read data is generated in step S103, transmitted to the transceiver, and input to the computer (step S104, step S201). The computer inputs the received data via the data input unit 41,
In step S202, this is processed to create leaving data and input to the leaving processing unit. A leaving process is performed based on the entered leaving data. That is, the leaving time data is added to the data of each worker recorded in the work data recording unit 45, and the entrance flag is deleted.

When a worker leaves the work site during working hours, entry / exit processing is performed. That is, in step S101, the administrator selects halfway exit registration from the operation panel of the handy terminal, and in step S102,
Read the information code on the worker's name plate. In step S103, based on the read information,
Read data is generated, transmitted to the transceiver, and input to the computer (step S104, step S2).

The computer inputs the received data via the data input section 41, and in step S202 processes the received data to create exit data or entrance data, and inputs the data to the entry / exit processing section 44 (see FIG. 3). . The entry / exit processing unit, based on the input data, the work data recording unit 4
5 and the re-entry time data is added to the worker's data recorded in Step 5. Further, the entry flag is deleted based on the exit data, and the entry flag is set again based on the entry data.

In the event that the data is not correctly transmitted to the computer due to, for example, a trouble in transmission / reception during the time attendance / departure processing or the entry / exit processing, the computer can request retransmission of the data. You may do it. For example, if the data input to the data input unit 41 is not complete, the optional processing unit 47 generates data requesting data retransmission, and sends the data via the data output unit 46 from the transceiver to the handy terminal. Send to

During the working time, when it is desired to confirm the number of working workers at each work site, a command is input from the input unit 51 of the computer. In response, the occasional processing unit 47 searches the work data recording unit 45, extracts the worker with the entrance flag set from the workers at the corresponding work site, and displays it on the display unit 52. . Similarly, at the end of the work, it can be useful for safety management by checking whether all the workers have left.

By performing such day-to-day processing and day-to-day processing, the work data recording section 45 stores work data of each worker. These data can be used for attendance management and salary calculation of workers. For example, when performing the salary processing, the work time may be calculated from the attendance time and the leave time recorded in the work data recording unit 45, and may be added for the pay target period. Such processing may be performed by the computer 40 (see FIG. 1), or may be performed by another computer using only work data.
