Description

  The present invention relates to a personal management method and system for easily confirming the behavior of an individual, for example, an employee in a company, a student in a school, and the like using a personal terminal.

  As a conventional personal management method and system using a personal terminal, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-092342 (Patent Document 1) discloses an attendance information management system that replaces an employee time recorder. In this Patent Document 1, using a portable terminal with a communication function capable of acquiring position and time information, the owner of the portable terminal arrives at a business trip destination, dispatch destination, customer, work site, etc., and At the time of departure or leaving work after completing work or work, identification information, position and time information of the operator, and status information such as the work type or activity type at that time are transmitted to the management center.

  Also, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-190137 (Patent Document 2), the attendance management system generates random number data from the attendance management server at the time of going to work and sends it to the work place. To determine the attendance status. As an example of ensuring high security in this personal information, for example, it is described that biometric authentication using a voice print, a palm print or the like for confirming the identity is used.

  Also, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-215993 (Patent Document 3), as a time attendance system, the entry / exit time of a dispatched worker and personal information are input in advance to a management server in order to manage attendance data of the dispatched worker. The dispatched workers are managed by using predetermined attendance information transmitted at the time of joining and leaving the company from the dispatched company terminal, and further using a predetermined check list. This checklist can check the physical condition of the dispatched worker by selecting the corresponding item by the dispatched worker.

  However, the above-mentioned employee attendance management in the above-mentioned company confirms the time and position when arriving or leaving the office of work or activity, and when leaving or leaving the office after completing work or work, together with the authentication of the person. It is what you are doing. Therefore, although information at the start and end of work or activity can be obtained, it is not possible to grasp the operating status of the individual during that time, that is, during work, during activity, or during work.

  On the other hand, a system that collects and grasps the working status of workers during working hours is a system for collecting biological information and managing biological activities that measures brain waves and records biological activity status and manages working hours JP 2003-038453 A (Patent Document 4). In this system, brain waves during working hours are recorded, not indirectly and temporarily like a checklist. For example, a worker transmits an electroencephalogram to a brain wave information collection device from a transmitter that has been lent with electrodes attached to the scalp from the time of work to the time of work, and is collected there. Furthermore, the work management device analyzes the collected electroencephalogram information and identifies the work contents.

  However, in this patent document 4, the work content of the worker during working hours is identified using short-range radio inside the office, and the working status outside the office cannot be grasped. . Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate such a system into an information processing system using the Internet, for example.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-092342 JP 2005-190137 A JP 2005-215993 A JP 2003-038453 A Golden Eye 5.0 “PC Operation Status Log Management / Storage Software” URL: http://www.inisia.co.jp/products/GoldenEye/index.html Internet Search: September 27, 2005

  The problem to be solved is information on the time of arrival at the place of the activity and the departure after completing the activity in the attendance management of the employee outside the company in the company or the behavior of the student outside the school in the school. Is obtained, but it is not possible to grasp the work status or activity status during that time.

  On the other hand, a system has been disclosed that measures the brain waves of workers during working hours, collects the activity status of the living body, and records and grasps the operating status, but cannot collect information outside the company or school It is.

  The present invention uses an information processing system to grasp the activity status during an individual's activity at a predetermined place, and makes the individual possess a personal terminal, and the personal terminal used by the individual is active Activity information is collected in time series and transmitted to the administrator terminal used by the administrator via the network. On the other hand, the manager terminal mainly provides the manager with the transmitted personal activity information or activity status information created from the activity information.

  With this configuration, the administrator can grasp and manage the activity status of an individual within a predetermined period from the provided activity status information.

  For collecting the operation information of the device in use, for example, the computer user and the activity information are completely recorded, a safe place is designated and stored, and can be searched later. Software technology provided in “Golden Eye (registered trademark)” can be used.

  Since the personal activity information needs to be obtained continuously, the operation information of the device used during the individual's work, the image information that captures the individual, the image information viewed from the individual, the dialogue voice information, the biological motion information, the electroencephalogram It is desirable to include at least one of information. However, since an enormous storage area for activity information is required, it is desirable for a personal terminal to send it to an administrator terminal, for example, periodically or when the remaining amount of activity information memory reaches a predetermined value. In addition, since the storage area is limited even at the administrator terminal, it is desirable to leave the collection and analysis of activity information to the service provider.

  Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal further includes a business server connected to the network, the personal terminal sends personal activity information to the business server from the start to the end of the activity, and the business server receives the business server. The activity information collected at the end of the activity is analyzed, created as predetermined activity status information, and transmitted to the manager terminal. With this configuration, the configuration of the administrator terminal can be simplified.

  When obtaining activity information from a personal terminal, it is necessary to collate personal information for identity verification that has been registered in advance. The personal information is an identification code, a password, etc., and in particular biometric authentication. Use of the identity is desirable for ensuring high security.

  In the personal activity, it is desirable to confirm the position of the activity and the start time and end time of the activity, and add a comparison to the activity status information if there is a plan.

  The personal terminal for personal use includes an activity information memory for storing activity information on which the individual is active, a personal information memory for storing personal information including personal identification information to be used, and a terminal assigned to the personal terminal. A terminal information memory for storing information; a position acquisition means for acquiring position information of the personal terminal; a time acquisition means for acquiring time information of the personal terminal; and detecting and transmitting activity information on which the individual is active Activity information sending means, activity information collecting and recording means for collecting the activity information and recording it in the activity information memory, and transmitting various data information via a network to a predetermined destination according to the system configuration at a predetermined time Transmission control means.

  The activity information in the personal terminal is, for example, operating information of devices in use including the personal terminal, image information that captures the individual, image information viewed from the individual, dialogue voice information, biological motion information, and electroencephalogram information. . The activity information detection and transmission means such as image information, audio information, and biological information can be formed in a personal terminal built in the headset, for example. In particular, the activity information detection / transmission means based on biological information can be attached to an individual's living body alone, and the main body of the personal terminal can be provided at a location away from the living body.

  It is desirable that the activity information collection / recording means of the personal terminal continuously collects the activity information during the personal activity, and this activity information is transmitted by the transmission control means via the network at a predetermined time, for example, periodically. The predetermined time for transmitting the activity information from the personal terminal is determined when a transmission request is received via the network, when a timer set in advance in the personal terminal of the user is specified, and the storage capacity of the activity information memory is limited. It is one of them when it reaches a fixed amount.

  In the personal management method and system using a personal terminal according to the present invention, the personal terminal used by the individual collects activity information during the personal activity and transmits it to the manager terminal used by the manager via the network. On the other hand, the administrator terminal provides the administrator with the transmitted personal activity information or activity status information aggregated and created from the activity information. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the position of the activity and the start time and end time of the activity as results, and collect the activity information of the individual during the activity. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that the manager can almost completely grasp the attendance management of the employee in the company or the behavior of the student in the school, particularly from the collection of the biometric information mainly on the health management.

  Personal terminals used by individuals for the purpose of managers to understand the activities of specific individuals, for example, employee attendance management outside the company or student behavior outside the school at the school. While collecting the activity information during the personal activity and sending it over the network to the administrator terminal used by the administrator, the administrator terminal is created from the transmitted personal activity information or this activity information It was realized by providing the activity status information to the administrator. At this time, collecting biological information as activity information is very useful for health management.

  As described above, since the present invention is a system in which information at an individual level is transferred between information processing apparatuses via a network such as the Internet, the computer user and the activity information are completely recorded. Software that can be searched later, for example, “Golden Eye (registered trademark)” (Non-Patent Document 1) described above can be used.

  Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawings show portions related to the present invention for the sake of space, but there are elements that are omitted even if they are functions essential to the system or apparatus.

  One embodiment of the present invention will be described as a first embodiment with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing, in functional blocks, a first embodiment of a personal management system according to the present invention. In the illustrated personal management system, for example, a parent at home manages an individual of the children as an administrator, the children possess the personal terminal 1, and the parent owns the administrator terminal 2. Each of the personal terminal 1 and the administrator terminal 2 is connected to a network 3 such as the Internet or a LAN.

  The personal terminal 1 is a portable information terminal such as a portable personal computer or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a communication terminal such as a mobile phone, and is mobile and is connected to the network 3 using a wireless line. The personal terminal 1 is a terminal address assigned to the personal terminal 1 and information for identifying the individual who owns the personal terminal 1 as the principal. The personal information that is registered in advance or acquired from the living body of the principal, at least movement The information memory stores information on the location and time obtained from, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System), and information on the activity of the camera, such as camera image information that shows the activity status of the individual, or biological information such as brain waves and pulses obtained from the individual living body. Hold on. Due to such a configuration, the personal terminal 1 takes the form of, for example, a helmet or a headset that facilitates activities.

  Among them, the position information and time information that change in time series are continuously captured, but are notified to the request source when requested. Activity information that changes in time series is captured continuously or periodically, and is recorded in an information memory by using a data reduction technique. The recorded information is transmitted to the administrator terminal 2 via the network 3 together with the position information and time information when a transmission request is received from the administrator terminal 2. When information is transmitted / received via the network 3, confirmation of personal information registered in advance is executed. It is assumed that the activity information is transmitted by a request from the administrator terminal 2. However, when the recording capacity reaches a predetermined memory capacity periodically or in a period longer than the request period of the administrator terminal 2, the personal terminal 1 It is also possible to transmit it spontaneously.

  The administrator terminal 2 is an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer installed in a home, and is connected to a network 3 such as the Internet or a LAN. The administrator terminal 2 registers in advance in the personal activity information memory a terminal address corresponding to each personal terminal 1, personal information including the identification information of the person, activity schedule information, and the like. Further, the administrator terminal 2 records the activity information transmitted from the personal terminal 1, creates the activity information as activity status information at the end of the activity such as when going home from outside, and records it in the personal activity information memory. And hold. The administrator terminal 2 outputs various information corresponding to the request of the user administrator in an audible / visible state, or in a screen / printed state when visible. Further, the administrator terminal 2 can obtain the latest activity information by requesting the personal terminal 1 at the request of the administrator.

  Although the above-described personal terminal is used as a mobile type for acquiring activity information outside the home, it may be an information processing terminal connected to a home LAN for acquiring activity information such as studying in a child's room at home. Good. Such a system is also effective when the manager of the company acquires the activity status of the individual employee.

  With such a configuration, since the administrator terminal can acquire and output the activity status information from the start to the end of the personal activity as an activity status information, the administrator can easily grasp the status of the target individual's activity.

  However, when the activity information has a huge amount of data such as a continuous image or a pulse of a living body, the memory capacity of the administrator terminal is insufficient. In order to cope with this, a separate memory may be provided and activity information may be recorded in this separate memory.

  One embodiment of the present invention will be described as a second embodiment with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing, in functional blocks, an embodiment of the personal management system according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the service provider that provides the personal management service is requested to collect activity information and create activity status information that briefly describes the activity status, thereby simplifying the administrator terminal configuration. In the second embodiment, a case will be described in which a company / organization that is a member of a service provider grasps the attendance of the employee. That is, in the illustrated personal management system, an administrator at an office manages the employee, and the work place of the employee may be inside or outside the office.

  This personal management system is configured by an information processing device such as a computer, and includes an employee terminal 10, an office terminal 20, and a service provider server 30, each of which is connected to a network 3 that is, for example, the Internet or a LAN in a business office. Are interconnected. In the figure, one service provider server 30 is used for one member having a plurality of employees, that is, one establishment, but naturally, one service provider server 30 is used by a plurality of members or establishments. Can be used.

  The employee terminal 10 is an individual terminal, and in the case of a work style such as SOHO (Small Office / Home Office), the employee terminal 10 is installed in a stand-alone manner at the home of an employee who works at a member company or organization. Connected to the internet. In the case of an employee working as an office worker or a designer in the office, the employee terminal 10 is connected to the LAN. Further, in the case of working outside such as a sales staff or a field worker, the employee terminal 10 is, for example, a portable notebook personal computer, a portable information terminal such as a PDA, or a communication terminal such as a cellular phone. Yes, since it is mobile, it connects to the network 3, for example, the Internet or a LAN using a wireless line.

  The employee terminal 10 is a terminal address assigned to the employee terminal 10, a member code assigned to each member or each office, and information for identifying the employee who owns the employee terminal 10. Information memory that is pre-registered or acquired from the living body of the person himself / herself, at least information on the location and time obtained from, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System) during movement, and activity information Hold on. The activity information includes, for example, when the employee handles a device such as a computer, operation information of the device in use, camera image information that captures the personal activity status or the surroundings of personal activity, dialogue voice information in a conference or sales activity, or Biological information such as an electroencephalogram or a pulse emitted from an electrode attached to the living body is included.

  The position information and time information that change in time series as described above are continuously captured, but are notified to the request source when requested. Activity information that changes in time series is captured continuously or periodically using a data reduction technique and recorded in an information memory. The recorded information is transmitted when an activity information transmission request periodically transmitted from the service provider server 30 is received. On the other hand, the recorded information is, for example, when a period longer than the period of the service provider server 30 is reached after receiving a transmission request from the service provider server 30 or when the recording capacity of the activity information reaches a predetermined memory capacity Then, it is transmitted to the service provider server 30 via the network 3 together with the position information and time information. When transmitting and receiving information via the network 3, high security is ensured by executing confirmation of personal information registered in advance.

  Further, the business establishment terminal 20 is an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer installed in a business establishment such as a member company or group as an administrator terminal, and is connected to the network 3. The office terminal 20 includes an employee information memory, and registers a member code corresponding to each employee terminal 10, personal information of employees to be used, work schedule information, and the like in advance in the employee information memory. The personal information includes personal information and identification information. The personal information is information that can identify the employee himself / herself, such as biometric authentication by employee identification (ID) code, password, fingerprint and face authentication. The identification information is unique identification information that can be identified from the personal information of other employees in association with the information, and is used for identification from various information of other employees. Therefore, the employee identification information is attached to the exchange of information specifying the employee terminal 10 to ensure the reliability of information transfer.

  Next, the business establishment terminal 20 records and stores the work performance and activity status transmitted from the service enterprise server 30 in the employee information memory 31. Therefore, the office terminal 20 can output various information corresponding to the request of the manager in an audible / visible state, or in a screen / printed state when visible. Further, the establishment terminal 20 can request the service provider server 30 to acquire the latest activity status at the request of the administrator.

  The service provider server 30 is an information processing apparatus that is installed and managed by a service provider at a service office, and is connected to a network 3 such as the Internet or a LAN. The service provider server 30 records the activity information transmitted from the employee terminal 10 in the employee information memory 31, and analyzes the activity information together with the work record when the activity information is recorded and held at the end of the activity, for example. The activity status information is created and transmitted to the office terminal 20.

  The employee information memory 31 has a memory area for storing daily work schedules, work results, activity information, and activity status information corresponding to, for example, member codes and personal information. The member code and personal information registered in advance from the business establishment terminal 20 are registered. Personal information includes identity information and identification information. The personal information is information that can identify the employee himself / herself, such as biometric authentication by employee identification (ID) code, password, fingerprint and face authentication. The identification information is unique identification information that can be associated with the information and identified from the personal information of other employees.

  The work schedule and work results include the work place, work type, start date and time, and end date and time. In the work place, a display of latitude and longitude is registered together with the name, for example, based on the use of GPS. Examples of work types include hard work, sales, office work, design, and meetings. The work schedule is registered from the office terminal 20. The work performance is determined by comparing the place and time transmitted from the employee terminal 10 with the work schedule. In the activity information, data collected by the employee terminal 10 is acquired and recorded. However, for the continuous change information, another activity information memory area is used for this, and the memory location is written in this activity information area. It is good to do. The activity status information is obtained from, for example, comparison between work schedules and work results and activity information, and is data created in a predetermined format for employee management.

  Next, the main operation procedure of the employee management system in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B together with FIG.

  First, when the business operator terminal 20 receives an employee's personal information input as employee information from a manager who is a user, the business operator terminal 20 generates identification information of the employee and associates it with the personal information. Information is registered in the employee information memory and transmitted to the service provider server 30 (step S1). When receiving the personal information of the employee, the service provider server 30 registers it in the employee information memory 31 (step S2).

  Next, when the operator terminal 20 receives an employee's work schedule input from the user manager as employee information, the operator terminal 20 associates the employee's work schedule with the employee's personal information and registers the employee's work schedule information in the employee information memory. And transmits it to the service provider server 30 (step S3). When receiving the work schedule information of the employee, the service provider server 30 registers it in the employee information memory 31 (step S4). The work schedule information includes information on the work place, work type, start time, and end time.

  The service provider server 30 constantly searches the scheduled start date and time of the employee information memory 31, and when the scheduled time is reached, transmits work start confirmation information to the employee terminal 10 (step S5).

  The employee terminal 10 receives the work start confirmation information from the service provider server 30, and when the employee starts work, the employee terminal 10 transmits the time and personal information for identity verification to the service provider terminal 30 (procedures). S6). The service provider server 30 compares the personal information received from the employee terminal 10 with the schedule information of the work start date and time in the employee information memory 31 (step S7), and then sends a location information transmission request to the employee terminal 10 (Step S8).

  When the employee terminal 10 accepts the location information transmission request from the service provider server 30, the employee terminal 10 transmits the location information of the work place to the service provider server 30 (step S9). The service provider server 30 compares the position information received from the employee terminal 10 with the work place information scheduled to be worked in the employee information memory 31, and then stores the work place performance information in the employee information memory 31. Record (step S10). As a result, the service provider server 30 records the start date and time based on the time information in the employee information memory 31 as work performance information (step S11).

  On the other hand, the employee terminal 10 transmits the location information of the work place in the procedure S9 and starts collecting and recording predetermined activity information (procedure S20). The activity information is, for example, brain waves transmitted from a transmitter with electrodes attached to the scalp if it is brain labor, and distorted waves transmitted from a strain measuring instrument attached to a living body if it is manual labor, Activity information is continuously collected along with time data in time series, and recorded as reduced data.

  On the other hand, the service provider server 30 measures the confirmation time of the activity information that calls the employee terminal 10 at a predetermined time interval from the start of work in conjunction with the timer. When the service provider server 30 reaches the activity information confirmation time, it calls the employee terminal 10 and transmits an activity information transmission request (step S21). When the employee terminal 10 receives the activity information transmission request, the employee terminal 10 transmits the activity information collected and recorded so far to the service provider server 30 (step S22). The service provider server 30 sequentially records the received activity information in the employee information memory 31 (step S23). Steps S21 to S23 are periodically executed.

  When the work ends, the employee terminal 10 accepts the work end information by the operation input of the employee (step S30), so the service provider server records the activity information that has been recorded and the transmission remaining together with the work end information. 30 (step S31).

  When the service provider server 30 receives the activity information and the work end information, the service provider server 30 records the result information of the work end date and time based on the time information together with the activity information in the employee information memory 31 (step S32). Next, the service provider server 30 creates predetermined activity status information aggregated from the recorded activity information and work records, records it in the employee information memory 31 (step S33), and also uses the administrator's business. To the station terminal 2 (step S34). The office terminal 2 records the received activity status information in the employee information memory and provides it in response to a request from the manager.

  With such a configuration, the office terminal 20 handled by the administrator does not require a memory for recording a large amount of activity information, so it can be made compact and a full-time contractor can be used. It is also possible to reduce.

  Here, an embodiment of the employee terminal 10 in the system in which the service provider server 30 exists will be described with reference to FIG. 2 together with the functional block diagram of FIG. The employee terminal 10 is, for example, a portable personal computer, and includes a processor, data input means, data screen display means, and the like, which are not shown. It also does not include functions necessary for failure detection and when a failure occurs.

  The illustrated employee terminal 10 includes a GPS 11, a standard radio wave receiver 12, activity information detection and transmission means 13, activity information collection and recording means 14, activity information memory 15, personal information memory 16, terminal information memory 17, information transmission / reception control means. 18 and a network interface 19 are assumed to be portable.

  The GPS 11 acquires position information such as latitude, longitude, and altitude using radio waves from an artificial satellite. The standard radio wave receiver 12 receives the standard radio wave carrying the time information from the standard radio wave transmission station having the atomic clock and acquires the time information. The activity information detection / transmission means 13 detects and transmits one or a combination of work equipment operation information, camera image information, dialogue voice information, biological strain information, brain wave information, and the like as activity information. For example, when working with a device, operation information of the device can be collected. For business meetings and meetings, images and audio can be collected. For physical labor, you can collect muscle responses, strains, and pulses, and for brain labor, you can collect brain waves. Therefore, these combinations are also possible. These transmit information in a continuous time series.

  Further, it is assumed that the activity information detection and transmission means 13 is built in and integrated with the employee terminal 10. Therefore, when the employee terminal 10 is a terminal such as a PDA, for example, operation information of the PDA as a work device will be collected as activity information. Also, in the case of a terminal such as a mobile phone with a built-in camera, image information becomes activity information by being placed in a place that captures the employee's activity range. For example, when a device such as a camera or an electroencephalogram detector that captures the front is incorporated, the employee terminal 10 can be formed in a helmet or a headset. However, information may be communicated to the activity information collection / recording means 14 by short-range wireless communication from a voice / image collection camera or a brain wave detector.

  The activity information collection / recording means 14 acquires the activity information from the activity information detection / transmission means 13 continuously or intermittently and records it in the activity information memory 15. The activity information memory 15 has a small storage capacity because the employee terminal 10 is small, so the service provider server 30 is notified of the remaining amount of the predetermined memory area, and the recorded activity information is transmitted by calling the service provider server 30. It shall be.

  The principal information is registered in the principal information memory 16 in advance. The personal information is information unique to the user, such as a user name, identification (ID) code, password, etc. that can be freely set by the user, and biometric authentication based on authentication of fingerprints, palm prints, facial features, etc. , Information that can identify the employee himself / herself, and the same information is registered in the employee information memory of the office terminal 20 by transfer or direct input. Terminal information is recorded in the terminal information memory 17 in advance. The terminal information includes a terminal address for connecting to the network 3, such as an IP address, a member code for the service provider, and the like.

  The information transmission / reception control means 18 controls transmission / reception of information via the network 3 based on user input data. Further, the information transmission / reception control means 18 has a function of receiving the notification of the activity information with a predetermined remaining memory capacity and transmitting the activity information as described above, but is longer than the timer of the service provider server 30. It is assumed that a timer having a period is provided, and activity information recorded by calling the service provider server 30 when the timer time limit is reached is transmitted. The procedure will be described later with reference to a flowchart. The network interface 19 is connected to the network 3 via a wireless line, and functions to interconnect with the internal bus. When the employee terminal 10 is a stand-alone type installed at home, the network 3 may be connected by a cable.

  Next, the main operation procedure in the employee terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, it is assumed that the principal information is already registered in the principal information memory 16 and the terminal information is already registered in the terminal information memory 17, respectively.

  First, when the information transmission / reception control means 18 receives work start confirmation information based on the scheduled work date and time from the service provider server 30 via the network interface 19, the information transmission / reception control means 18 reads and transmits the person information from the person information memory 16 (procedure). S41). As described in the above embodiment, when the identity information is confirmed by the service provider server 30, the information transmission / reception control means 18 transmits position information based on the planned work location from the service provider server 30 via the network interface 19. When the request is received, the position information is read from the GPS 11 and transmitted (step S42).

  Following this procedure S42, the information transmission / reception control means 18 starts measuring the timer and drives the activity information memory 15. The activity information memory 15 drives the activity information collection / recording means 14 to collect and record the activity information from the activity information detection / transmission means 13 (step S43). When the timer time limit is reached (YES in step S44), the information transmission / reception control means 18 transmits the activity information recorded and accumulated in the activity information memory 15 to the service provider server 30 via the network interface 19. The timer is initialized (step S45), and the procedure returns to step S43 where timer measurement is started and activity information is collected and recorded.

  If the above step S44 is “NO” and the memory capacity limit of the activity information memory 15 has been reached even if the time limit has not been reached (YES in step S46), or the service provider server 30 sends a request to send activity information via the network interface 19 Is accepted (YES in step S47), the procedure returns to step S43 through step S45. Further, as long as the procedure S46 and the procedure S47 are “NO” and the work end information is not received from the employee possessing the employee terminal 10 (NO in the procedure S48), the procedure returns to the procedure S44, Repeat the following steps.
