DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on information obtained from a time and attendance system and a network management system.
When starting access to the network management system, it is possible to prompt each worker to correct the data such as going straight / going home, etc., and to request the approval of his / her supervisor from his / her superior. System.
Mainly use personal computers and other terminals regularly,
The present invention relates to a system suitable for a workplace in which access control of a terminal used by an individual is performed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, with respect to the attendance and departure management, the attendance and departure time is managed by an attendance and departure system centered on a time clock. In addition to using a paper medium to record the time on this time clock, a method that uses a magnetic card or IC card and records the time of attending and leaving the system by passing it through a card reader is generally used. ing. However, the conventional attendance system
It is only to stamp or record the time of going to work or leaving work, and it is not usually possible to record or adjust the time when there is a direct business trip, bounce, or special circumstances due to business use. is there. Therefore, if there is such a situation, you can correct the time collectively every month later, fill in holes later by hand without embossing, explain the situation,
It often takes time and effort to submit an application or notification, approve or disapproval, or bother.

On the other hand, when accessing a server, a network management system similarly uses a magnetic card,
Using a C card or a non-contact type IC card, the time of access or release of access is recorded and managed. Information to be logged into the server, such as a server name, a user name, or a password, is recorded in a card medium, and the information is read by using this card when logging in. This network management system also only manages on the network and is not used for attendance management. As in recent years, under the situation where the majority of business processing is performed by personal computer terminals and the terminals are arranged for each individual, the multi-faceted use of the network management system is required. In other words, the function that only records the time and attendance system does not allow the correct work status of the worker to be grasped.
The method of confirming is complicated, and there is a face that it is not possible to streamline office work.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention,
Attend time and attendance data in network management system
By providing a function of confirming, the function of the time and attendance system is supplemented, and the idea of fulfilling the function of both systems in the past is conceived, and the present invention has been completed.

[0005]

A first aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a system for managing a network and managing data of attendance and departure of workers, wherein the worker is connected to a network. When the access is started, the display of the personal computer displays the latest time and attendance time data of the worker, and the worker can make necessary correction of the time and attendance time data on the display. If a modification is made, the contents of the modification will be displayed on the display of the personal computer of the employee's superior or administrator and approved, and a combined network management and attendance management system, It is in. With such a system, the procedure for correcting and approving the clock-in / out time data can be simplified.

A second aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is a system for performing network management and managing the attendance and departure data of workers, wherein the system includes an attendance and departure system or a gate management system. And a network management system having a function of correcting and confirming the clock time data, when a worker starts accessing the network, the latest clock time data of the worker is displayed on the display of the personal computer. Along with the network management and time and attendance management system, the system allows workers to make necessary corrections on time and attendance data on the display, and obtains the approval of their supervisor or manager. is there. With such a system, the procedure for correcting and approving the clock-in / out time data can be simplified.

[0007] In the above, the time and attendance system or the gate management system and the network management system are performed by a card medium, and if the card medium is any one of a magnetic card, a contact type IC card, and a non-contact type IC card, the system is preferable. Can be operated. In addition, if the necessary correction of time and attendance time data and the approval of the correction are made on an electronic form, the written procedure can be eliminated, and the activation of the time and attendance time data correction / confirmation function cooperates with the activation of the network management system. It will work and will not forget the procedure unless you need a special startup operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The combined network management and attendance management system of the present invention comprises an attendance / exit system, a network management system, an attendance / attendance time data correction / confirmation function, a management server, and the like. Figure 1
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a network management and attendance management system. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes an attendance / departure time system, reference numeral 20 denotes a network management system, reference numeral 30 denotes an attendance / departure time data correction / confirmation function, and reference numeral 40 denotes a management server. The reason why 30 is used as the clock-in / out time data correction / confirmation function is that the hardware of the network management system 20 can be used as it is, and it is sufficient to respond to the software. The management server 40 accumulates data from the time and attendance system 10, the network management system 20, and the time and attendance time data correction / confirmation function 30, calculates the time and attendance management data, and displays and outputs the data as needed.

A worker using the present system carries the card medium 2 and, as an employee ID card for the attendance system,
Alternatively, it is used as a network access or login authentication key. As the card medium 2, a magnetic card, a contact IC card, a non-contact IC card, or the like can be used. Since an ID number for identifying an individual is recorded on the card medium 2, entry or exit from a company, entry or exit to an office, or access to a network is recognized. Of course, a portable medium that replaces the card medium 2, for example, a coin-shaped medium or a pen-shaped medium that performs the same function may be used.

Hereinafter, each system and function will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the time and attendance system. The attendance system 10 is installed, for example, at the entrance 3 of a company or the like, and includes a card reader 11, a storage device 12, and a communication device 13. When entering, use a card medium carried by the individual M1 (in the case of the attendance system, "employee ID"
It can also be said. 2) When 2 is inserted into the card reader 11,
The card reader 11 reads information recorded on the card medium 2, particularly an ID number for identifying an individual. At the same time, the entry time is collected from the timing device. At this time, since the ID numbers that can be entered are registered in the storage device 12, the possibility of entry is also determined. Usually, the possibility of leaving is not determined, but the card medium 2 is read in order to obtain a record of the leaving time. In the case of a non-contact type IC card, reading is performed only by holding the card over the card reader 11. The information read by the card reader 11 is stored in the storage device 1
2 and read each time it is read, or
The data is transmitted to the management server 40 using the communication device 13 in units of days or weeks. In the case of this system, it is assumed that the attendance system which only stamps on a paper medium is excluded.

When only the gate management system for entry control is provided without providing the time and attendance system 10, the gate management system can be used for time and attendance management. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a gate management system. The gate management system 50 includes a card reader 51 and an electronic lock 52.
And a controller 53. At the time of entry and exit, when a card medium 2 (in the case of a gate management system, also referred to as an “electronic key”) 2 carried by the individual M1 is inserted into the card reader 51, information recorded on the card medium 2, especially an individual Is read by the card reader 51.

The information read by the card reader 51 is
Sent to controller 53. An ID number is registered in the controller 53 in advance, and it is determined from the transmitted information whether the individual is a person who can enter the room. If the person can enter the room, the electronic lock 52 is unlocked. If it is determined that the person cannot enter the room, the electronic lock is not unlocked. In the case of unlocking, the unlocking time is stored in the controller for each ID, and the time is sequentially transmitted every time the unlocking is performed, or the time is stored and stored in the management server 40 using the communication device in units of one day or week. Send. Although the possibility of leaving the room is not usually determined, it is preferable to read the card medium 2 in order to obtain a record of the time of leaving the room.

In the case of the gate management system 50, when a plurality of persons enter the room at the same time, there is a person who does not perform a card reading operation, so that data loss may occur. In this case, the missing data is complemented by adding a certain correction to the data (access start and access release times) of the network management system 20. When the card medium 2 used for the gate management system 50 is a non-contact type IC card, loss of data is considered to be reduced. That is, even when a plurality of persons enter and exit the room at the same time with one card medium, the ID numbers of a large number of IC cards carried can be recognized and read with a non-contact type IC card. Also, when leaving the room, the card reader 51
Although it is troublesome to read the data, a non-contact type IC card can be read only by a person passing through the card reader 51, so that it is sufficient to carry the card reader and the user's labor is reduced.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the network management system. The network management system 20 includes a card reader 21 and a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a personal computer).
“PC”. ) 22 and a server 23 and the like. It is not necessary for each terminal such as a PC to be specified as one terminal, but it is preferable that access control of all terminals is performed. This is to reduce data loss. Simultaneously with the activation of the PC 22 or the like or after the OS activation,
In an environment for accessing the server, the card reader 21 reads the information from the card medium 2 in which information such as a server name, a user name, and a password required for access is recorded, and kicks the server,
If access is possible, access is made. If access is not possible, do not allow access. In addition, when the access is possible, the fact is notified to the time and attendance time data correction / confirmation function 30. When releasing the access, the card is removed from the card reader 21 and automatically discriminated and the access is released. Information such as the time when the access / access is released is stored in the PC, and the information is transmitted to the management server 40 every time the access / access is released or collectively.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a clock-in / out time data correction / confirmation function. Attendance time data correction / confirmation function 30
Is the same as that of the network management system. This function is performed by the network management system 20 by the management server (or server function, the same applies hereinafter) 4.
When access to the management server 40 is permitted, or when the access is permitted in the management server 40, the latest time data of the worker who accessed at the beginning of the day or on a weekly basis is stored in the terminal of the worker. And send it to the display. Not limited to the access information, the information may be displayed based on login information to the system. The contents displayed on the display screen are as shown in the frame in FIG. On this screen, the worker operates the correction button 31 by operating the mouse to correct the time. If there is no correction, only the confirmation button 32 needs to be clicked. The time and attendance time data correction / confirmation function is not a separate function from the network management function.It is a function that works in cooperation with the launch of the network management function in this way. It is preferable in that it can be performed.

The management server 40 may be provided with a personal computer, a display 41, or the like. Can be calculated. In addition, by setting a work schedule for each individual in advance, it becomes possible to discriminate between late / early work in the attendance time of a worker.

Next, data handling by the present system will be described. In the case of the attendance system or gate management system, it is as follows. <Attendance system> When the entrance 3 is unlocked, the individual uses the card medium (employee ID) 2 and the card reader 11
After confirming the identity of the person, enter. The worker who enters enters the card reader 2 through the card medium 2 and records the clock data. This data is stored in the storage device 12 and further transmitted to the management server 30 via the communication device 13.
, Or output to a medium such as a floppy (registered trademark) disk (FD) and collectively process by the management server, so that entry / exit time data can be managed for each individual ID number. .

<Gate Management System> At the time of unlocking the door (gate) 4, the individual uses the card medium (electronic key) 2 to confirm that he / she is himself, and then unlocks the electronic lock. The person who enters and leaves the room can be specified by the person's ID number. The person entering (leaving) the room unlocks the card medium 2 by passing it through the card reader 51. The controller 53 holds a record of unlocking. The obtained time information is sequentially transmitted to the management server 40 or a floppy disk (F
D) and the like, and the batch processing is performed by the management server, so that the entry / exit time can be managed for each individual ID number.

In this gate management system 50, the time at which a person first enters the day is regarded as the work time, and
Data processing is performed by regarding the time at which the user left the room at the end of the day (unlocking time) as the time of leaving the office. Time information is obtained for each individual's entry and exit, but except for the first and last entry and exit times of the day,
It is not required for attendance management.

<Network Management System> In the network management system, a PC used by each person is connected to a card reader 21. Pass the card medium 2 through the card reader and enter a password for accessing the card. If the password is OK, the login information stored in the card medium is transmitted to the management server 40.
The contents of the data are the same as in the case of the time and attendance system.
At the time when the access is started, it is assumed that the clock data is displayed. It goes without saying that the network management system performs ordinary network connection management, and manages records as usual, with the time when a worker logs in to a certain system as the login time and the time when the user logs out as the logout time. Information to be logged in to the server, such as a server name, a user name, or a password, is recorded on the card, which is a portable recording medium, and the information is obtained by using this card medium when logging in. Is read.

<Attendance time data correction / confirmation function> Attendance time data correction / confirmation function 30 and management server 40
In and the data is bidirectional. In other words, the clock-in / clock-out time data temporarily stored in the management server is always displayed on the display at the time of the first network access. Since the person who accessed by worker access is specified,
The management server displays the attendance time data on the display of the worker. This display shows recent, especially unreported, uncorrected, and unapproved, as received from the attendance or gate system. This will prompt each worker to make corrections. Each worker confirms the displayed contents, and if there is a direct or bounce-back at the destination outside the company due to business reasons, corrects the request, and requests approval from the superior or manager. Correction of numerical values and the like is performed using a keyboard or the like. Only when the supervisor or the administrator approves, the personal attendance time data in the management server 40 is corrected.

Further, when the superior accesses the management server 40, similar to the individual, the latest attendance and departure time data of the worker who accessed at the beginning of the day or on a weekly basis is displayed. As a result, the superior is required to confirm. Also, if a request for approval of time and attendance time data correction has been received from a subordinate, the content is displayed, and approval / non-approval is selected for a reason. The display is continued until all requests are completed. Necessary correction of the time and attendance time data described above and approval for the correction shall be made on an electronic form. As a result, the conventional document-based procedures can be omitted, and the work can be streamlined.

<Management Server> Management Server 40
Is the attendance / departure system 10 or the gate management system 50
Alternatively, it functions as the information source of the clock data of each person obtained from the network management system 20, the clock data for clocking in and clocking out, and the access information. Network management system data can be used to determine if a clock
It is referred to when data is lost, such as when a plurality of people enter and exit the gate management system 50 at the same time as described above.

The management server 40 handles data as described above and stores the data in a database. In addition, software for calculating the time of attending / leaving and working hours for each worker and calculating the actual results monthly is installed. By setting the work schedule of each individual, it is also possible to discriminate late / early from the time at which the worker goes and goes.

[0025]

As described above, according to the combined network management and time and attendance management system of the present invention, the time and attendance time data can be easily corrected and approved using the existing system. The administrative procedures can be streamlined. Since each worker and his / her manager do not dare start the attendance management system, the attendance / attendance management combined system is activated in conjunction with a normal access operation of the network management system, so that the procedure is not troublesome. In addition, the procedures for confirmation, correction and approval are not forgotten.
