[0021]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0022]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining the outline of the attendance management method and the attendance management system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, when a worker makes an application for time management to an administrator, the worker makes an application to the time management server 3 from a worker terminal and records the application in the time management server 3.
[0023]
The attendance management server 3 manages attendance status information of workers. The attendance management server 3 uses this attendance status information to automatically set the application of the attendance items of the employees who need to apply to the manager. The worker's attendance items include, for example, attendance, absence, leave, lateness, early retirement, overtime, and holiday work of the worker.
[0024]
The attendance status information can be acquired, for example, by a work-in / out operation from the employee terminal 6, and the attendance management server automatically applies for the attendance items of the employee based on the attendance status information. Therefore, the worker does not need to perform any operation regarding the application related to attendance management in the operation of leaving and leaving the office, and in a situation where the application is required without any awareness, the automatic setting is performed.
[0025]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an operation state based on attendance management according to the present invention. The steps indicated by the numbers in parentheses below correspond to the steps indicated by the numbers in FIG. Steps 1 to 3 and steps 11 to 13 show an operation of applying for attendance status information.
[0026]
Steps 1 to 3 are an example of an automatic application operation for a post-application, in which a worker performs the operation of leaving or leaving the office from the worker terminal. As an example of the operation of entering and leaving the office, for example, the operation of login or logout performed by the worker terminal with respect to the attendance management system can be used. The time at which the authentication process was performed at the time of login or logout can be set as the time of leaving or leaving the office. In addition, when managing whether to leave or leave the office by using a time card, the time acquired by using the time card can be set as the time of leaving or leaving (1). The attendance management server receives the work-in / out information and manages the work status of the worker based on the work-in / out information (2).
[0027]
Further, the attendance management server automatically makes an ex post application based on the work status of the worker. Whether or not to make an ex post application is determined by comparing the time at which a worker leaves or leaves the work obtained from the work status of the worker with the working hours set for that worker.
[0028]
For example, if the first arrival time of the worker on the day is later than the start time of the worker, the post application information for late arrival of the worker is automatically set, and the arrival time of the worker is set on the same day. When it is outside the working hours of the worker, the post-application information for the employee's leave acquisition on the day is automatically set, and when the employee's departure time is in the holiday period of the worker, the employee's holiday Automatically set post-work application information, and if the last leaving time of the worker's day is earlier than the worker's work end time, post-work early application post-work information is automatically set, and If the last withdrawal time of the day is later than the work end time of the worker, the post application information for the overtime work of the worker is automatically set.
[0029]
In addition, the number of overtime hours is calculated by subtracting the employee's end time from the last withdrawal time on the day of the employee, and the number of overtime hours is calculated from this number of hours in units of a predetermined time width. The number of hours is added to the post-employment information for overtime work (3).
[0030]
Steps 11 to 12 are examples of the application operation of a pre-application and a post-application by a worker. The worker makes an application from the worker terminal with respect to attendance, absence, leave, lateness, early retirement, overtime work, holiday work, etc., of the worker (11). The attendance management server receives the application for the attendance items and records the application based on the application. If the application is in advance, an advance application is made, and if it is after the fact, an ex post application is made (12). By the above process, the time management server stores the application for the time matters separately in advance application information and post-application information.
[0031]
Steps 21 to 27 are an example of an application approval operation. When the administrator performs application approval processing, the administrator terminal requests application information from the attendance management terminal server (21). The attendance management server reads the application information of the worker based on the request (22), and transmits the read data to the manager terminal (23).
[0032]
The administrator terminal displays the attendance status and the application status of the worker based on the data transmitted from the administrator terminal (24). Based on the display, the administrator determines whether to approve or reject the application (25). The approval result is sent to the attendance management server (26) and recorded (27).
[0033]
When the worker refers to the approval result of the application, the worker terminal sends a reference request to the attendance management server (31). The administrator terminal reads out the approval result and attendance status information for the worker's application based on the reference request (32), and transmits it to the requesting worker terminal (33). The worker terminal displays the transmitted approval result and attendance status information on the display means. Thereby, the approval status information and the approval result of the application can be confirmed. At this time, by referring to the post-application information, the application information automatically set based on the attendance status information of the worker can be confirmed (34).
[0034]

The attendance management system of the present invention acquires time information of a login time or a logout time at the time of a login operation and a logout operation performed when accessing a network, and compares the personal information of the accessor and the acquired time information with the attendance time. It can be sent to the management server and used for time management. Hereinafter, acquisition of time information will be described.
[0090]
FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining the login time information and the acquisition and transmission of the login time information by the attendance management system, which are shown together with the screen display displayed on each terminal.
[0091]
FIG. 23A is an example of an initial display screen displayed on each terminal (6, 7) by the menu server 5 when each terminal (6, 7) accesses the network 9. At the time of access, a personal authentication screen is first displayed. This personal authentication screen is a screen for authenticating whether the access requester is a user who authenticates access to the network. For example, an input frame display 10a for inputting an employee number and a button display 10b for requesting a login are provided. , A display portion 10c for displaying conditions required for performing another authentication of the password is displayed.
[0092]
When the employee number is input to the input frame display 10a and the button display 10b is operated by clicking a mouse or the like, the employee number is collated. When the employee numbers are collated, the display portion 10c is displayed, and the acquisition of the authentication information is required. For example, an instruction to put a finger on the fingerprint sensor is displayed on the display portion 10c.
[0093]
When the personal authentication is confirmed by collating the password and obtaining the authentication information, a login process is performed, and then a menu screen is displayed. At this time, the login time is obtained from a clock (not shown), and the login time information is sent to the attendance management server 3. For the clock function, an arbitrary server such as the authentication server 2 or the menu server 5, a terminal (6, 7), or a clock device can be connected to the network by itself.
[0094]
FIG. 23B shows an example of a menu screen.

On this screen, a button display 11d for selecting logout is displayed. Note that this menu screen is an example, and other display contents may be used.
[0095]
When the logout selection button 11d is clicked on the menu screen in FIG. 23B, the logout time is obtained from the clock and the logout time information is sent to the attendance management server 3.
[0096]
When a predetermined function management system is selected on the menu screen of FIG. 23B, a processing screen of the selected function management system is displayed. FIG. 23C shows an example of the processing screen. Each processing is displayed on a screen 30a (not explicitly shown in FIG. 23C). For example, a logout display 30b and a processing end are displayed in a bar portion. The display 30c of “close” is displayed. When the logout display 30b is clicked on the processing screen, the logout time is similarly acquired from the clock, and the logout time information is sent to the attendance management server 3.
[0097]
Note that the personal authentication screen 10, the menu screen 11, and the processing screen 30 shown in FIG. 23 are schematic examples for explaining the functions, and other display contents and layouts are based on the functions of each screen. It can be set arbitrarily.
[0098]
The processing at the time of login will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0099]
First, the processing at the time of login will be described using the flowchart of FIG. The process at the time of login can be performed by, for example, the menu server 5, but may be performed by another server such as the authentication server 2.
[0100]
When a login request is issued from the terminal, a personal authentication screen (FIG. 23A) is displayed on the display screen of the terminal (step S1). The personal authentication information is obtained by instructing the user to input personal authentication information such as a password and a fingerprint according to the instruction on the personal authentication screen (step S2).
[0101]
The authentication server 2 performs personal authentication by comparing the acquired personal authentication information with registered personal authentication information registered and stored in the authentication database 2a in advance. When the personal authentication is confirmed by the comparison (step S3), the gate passing information is acquired. This gate passage information can be obtained from authentication information acquisition means provided in a gate management system that manages entry and exit to an area accessible to the network, and includes personal information of a user who has passed through the gate management system. (Step S4).
[0102]
If it is confirmed from the gate passage information that the user has passed the gate properly, login processing is performed, and a login time is obtained from a clock (not shown) (step S5). The data is transmitted to the attendance management server 3 (step S6), and the menu screen (FIG. 23B) is displayed on the terminal screen (step S8).
[0103]
If the personal authentication is not confirmed in the step of determining whether or not the authentication can be performed in step S3, the number of times that the personal authentication is not determined is integrated and compared with a preset number. If the total number of times of the determination is equal to or less than the set number, the process returns to the step S2 to repeat the process. If the total number of times of rejection exceeds the set number, the login process is terminated (step S7).
[0104]
If the user has not passed through the gate in the authentication step 2 of the gate passing confirmation in step S5, the user who has already been authenticated and has completed the login is authenticated. In this step, a screen for approving the authentication is displayed on the terminal screen of the other person who requests the authentication (not shown) (step S10).
[0105]
The authentication server determines the validity of the authentication of the other person, and when determining that the authentication is valid, performs the processing after step S6 to perform the login processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the authentication is invalid, the login process is terminated (step S11).
[0106]
Next, the logout process will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The process at the time of logout can be performed by the menu server 5 similarly to the process at the time of login, but may be performed by another server such as the authentication server 2.
[0107]
When a logout request is issued from the terminal (step S21), a logout time is obtained from a clock (not shown) (step S22), the obtained logout time is transmitted to various management systems (step S23), and a logout process is performed (step S21). S24).
[0108]
Next, a process of acquiring a login time and a logout time performed by the time management server will be described by taking time management and business management as examples. FIG. 26 is a flowchart illustrating a process of acquiring a login time and a logout time in the time management server.
[0109]
At the time of login, the attendance management server 3 acquires login time information from a server that performs login processing such as a menu server or an authentication server, records the login time information in the attendance management data (step S31), and records the information in the gate management system. The acquired gate-in time information is acquired (step S32), and using the acquired login time information and the gate-in time information, it is determined whether or not there is any inconsistency in the order of the two times (step S33).
[0110]
If it is determined in step S33 that the login time information and the gate-in time information are inconsistent, it is determined that there is a problem with the login or the gate-in, and the management is performed to record the attendance management data and to manage the entire system. It notifies the server (not shown) and displays it on the screen if necessary (step S37).
[0111]
At the time of logout, logout time information is acquired from a server that performs a login process, such as a menu server or an authentication server, and is recorded in the attendance management data (step S34). Thereafter, gate-out time information is acquired from the gate management system (step S35), and using the acquired login time information and gate-in time information, it is determined whether or not there is any inconsistency between the two times (step S36). .
[0112]
If there is a discrepancy between the logout time information and the gateout time information in the determination in step S36, it is determined that there is some problem in the logout or the gateout, and the logout or the gateout is recorded in the attendance management data. The server (not shown) is notified (step S37).
[0113]
According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to automatically apply for the attendance items that require a prior application by judging the attendance status of the employee, even when there is no application from the employee.
[0114]
Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the pre-application information and the post-application information can be separately recorded and displayed separately. By displaying the pre-application information and the post-application information separately, workers and managers can easily check the status of the application.
[0115]
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the worker's attendance status information used for making an automatic application can be obtained by using a login operation or a logout operation performed by the worker, and the time Can also be obtained by acquiring the time at the time of operation. Therefore, the worker only performs the operation that is normally performed, and does not require any special operation for the automatic application.
[0116]
According to the time management method and the time management system of the present invention, the post-application is automatically set even if the worker does not make an application for the time matters requiring approval in the time management. can do.
