Description

The present invention relates to a work management system, a work management method, a work performance input method, and a program for managing work information of workers.

In the conventional work management system, work schedules and work results are input in a table format. In addition, for work management such as employee attendance, work time management using a time card, a personal computer, or a server is generally employed.

In the following Patent Document 1, in a system in which a company server and an employee terminal are connected via a network, the time at which the company server and the employee terminal are logged on is defined as an attendance time, and the company server and the employee A time and attendance management method is disclosed in which the time when a terminal is logged off is used as the work time. This solves the problem that accurate attendance and attendance management due to forgetting to engrave a time card cannot be solved, and eliminates the complicated procedure of engraving on the time card every time the attendance is made.

The above-described conventional technique is useful for managing the working hours according to the time of leaving the office and the time of leaving the office. However, in organizations where the work content of each employee is diverse, such as commissioned work, it is necessary to clarify how much time is spent on which work content in order to accurately grasp the work performance of each employee. Don't be.

For example, in business such as system development, business items are subdivided such as basic examination, basic design, detailed design, program design, coding, unit test, connection test, comprehensive test, etc., and each unit price is different. ing. Therefore, in order to manage the balance when system development is entrusted, it is necessary to accurately manage how much time is spent on which business item. In the conventional work management system, there is no function for managing work hours for each business item.

Then, the following nonpatent literature 1 is published on the internet about management for every business item. It is related to man-hour management, business / project management, and has basic data such as “who performed what and how much”. The employee can input a record by simply selecting an assigned task (work) from among the tasks displayed on the input terminal and dragging and dropping it onto an area indicating the actual work time. Since it is possible to input intuitively with an image close to filling in a personal schedule with just a mouse operation, troublesome results can be easily reported.

Although this non-patent document 1 has a function that allows work performance data to be input only by a mouse operation, in many cases, the input means in work management is numeric input in a table format. Entering the time for each subdivided item is a very laborious operation.

The following Patent Document 2 is disclosed as a method for displaying a time zone displayed with numerals other than numerals. This relates to conference room reservation. When the time when the conference room is used and the time when the use is finished are input in the input area, the reserved time zone is displayed in a band shape on the daily reservation status screen. The input method of this system is a method in which a pull-down menu is displayed in a reservation input frame, and an hour and a minute are selected in order from the menu.

It is also conceivable to use the input method of the conference room reservation system for the work management system. By the way, in general work of a general employee, it is normal to take charge of several kinds of work within one day. Therefore, in general work entry for employees, the method of entering hours and minutes by entering the pull-down menu of the input frame for each work and entering the work hours is a time. There is a problem that it takes. In fact, there are many companies that abolish work management systems once introduced for reasons such as taking too much time to input.

Also, in general work management systems, the last input data is carefully checked, and if work hours overlap, the system continues to issue errors until the data is corrected. . Therefore, data that is actually wrong cannot be corrected until the last input data is corrected.

In addition, for unentered data, a computer often does not check whether it is unentered or non-working time. Even when checking, since it becomes complicated if it is displayed as an error, it is difficult for the input person to work.

JP 2005-92407 A JP 2002-149928 A Denso Create Co., Ltd. Time Tracker v1.5 June 21, 2006 Search Internet <URL: http://www.denso-create.jp/service/products/timetracker/news/050415/TimeTrackerNewsR15.pdf>

The conventional work management system inputs work schedules and work results in a table format on a table displayed on an input terminal. For this reason, a work input person cannot grasp the details of work as the number of business items increases. For example, taking system development as an example, there are about 10 types of business items such as basic study, basic design, detailed design, program design, coding, unit test, integration test, comprehensive test, and operation takeover for each commissioned business. Exists. For example, an employee who is in charge of three consignment tasks by one person needs to input about 30 types of business items. Therefore, when inputting work, it is necessary to have a function to narrow down the input items so that work data is input only to the work performed.

In order to carry out an accurate balance calculation for each job, it is necessary to keep an accurate record of which job was carried out in which time zone, the business items and the time zone carried out. This work puts a heavy burden on the work input person, so in order to reduce the burden, the work hours are visually represented and using a pointing device such as a mouse, it is visually easy to understand. It is necessary to devise input in the form.

In addition, for each business item, a function for checking data entered with overlapping work hours, and a function for checking data entered so as not to cause a non-input time zone are required. Furthermore, if the business hours are input in units of minutes for each business item, individual differences in input accuracy increase, and data accuracy cannot be unified. Therefore, a device for aligning the accuracy of data is required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a work management system and a work management system that can input work results as easily as writing an arrow on a sheet using a pointing device such as a mouse. An object is to provide an information processing apparatus, a work management method, a work performance input method, and a program.

In order to achieve such an object, in place of the conventional tabular work management system, a work management system capable of visually inputting work results was invented. According to the present invention, the work performance is visually displayed for each business item. Since it can be input in a form similar to a conventional business diary, it is easy to recall the memory of the input worker at work, and the input time can be shortened.

The work input method according to the present invention includes a step of displaying a work management table in a work input method for inputting work items, work start time, and work end time using a computer in employee work management, and a pointing device. Selecting a position on the input screen using the button, moving the pointing device with the position selected, selecting a range, canceling the selection of the position, and input contents Storing and saving.

According to the above configuration, a work input person can visually input a work time zone using a pointing device such as a mouse cursor on the work performance table displayed on the screen of the input device. At that time, the work input person can omit the counting for each business item, and it is efficient because it is not necessary to handle numbers. Also, the work approver can make the system act on behalf of counting and checking work hours, so the approval work can be reduced.

The work input method according to the present invention includes a step of quantizing a work time zone in unit time for each business item, a step of causing the quantized time zone to correspond to a cell on a work management table, and A step of displaying on the management table; a step of selecting a range of the cell by designating a time axis direction for a specific business item using a pointing device; A step indicating that the working time is input for the item; a step of selecting the range of the cell by designating a direction opposite to the time axis for the specific business item using a pointing device; and A step of sequentially canceling the display of the cells and indicating that the work input has been canceled for a specific business item.

Management of working hours is usually quantized using a fixed unit time such as a unit of 10 minutes or a unit of 5 minutes. Since the quantized time is discontinuous, it is desirable to have an input method that allows a worker input person to feel as if the discontinuous time is being handled. Further, if the business hours are not quantized, it becomes necessary to calculate the business hours to the unit of minutes and seconds, and the data becomes difficult to handle when performing work approval and payroll calculation.

According to the present invention, when the working hours of the work management table are divided into fine cells and the cell is dragged in the time axis direction with a pointing device such as a mouse cursor, the colors of the cells are colored in order. It was decided that it was indicated that was entered. Further, when canceling the input work hours, dragging the cell in the direction opposite to the time axis will release the coloring of the cells in order, indicating that the work input has been canceled.

In addition, according to the present invention, when a pointing device such as a mouse cursor is dragged on the cell in the time axis direction, the cells are colored in order as if the fan is spread out and the working hours are increased. It spreads and shows that work hours have been entered. On the other hand, when the mouse cursor is dragged in the direction opposite to the time axis, the coloring of the cells is canceled in order as if the expanded fan is restored to the original state on the cell, and the work input is canceled. Indicated.

The work input method according to the present invention includes a step of determining whether or not business hours input in a plurality of business items are duplicated, and if it is determined that the input business hours are duplicated, And a step of displaying the range of the business hours.

According to the present invention, a work input person can input work information while referring to the system check that the work time zone does not overlap with other business items for which the entered data has already been entered. it can. In addition, when the business hours overlap with other business items, the work input person can correct the work information while referring to the display of the system.

Generally, a system such as work management is constructed so as to avoid receiving an erroneous data input. This is because if an incorrect data input is received, data consistency cannot be obtained, and a complicated error message is flooded when an input error warning is given to the input person. Normally, at the time of entry, incorrect data entry is rejected by the system.

However, according to the present invention, when the work input person inputs data with overlapping time periods, the data is displayed in the overlap display area, so that the work input person can input while recognizing that the time periods overlap. Can continue. That is, even if an error occurs in data input, the input person can continue data input.

Further, the work input method according to the present invention is a display method for searching for and displaying a non-input time zone, and a step of checking a non-input item and a time zone, and when searching for the non-input item and a time zone. Includes a step of displaying a non-input time zone.

According to the present invention, a work input person can input work information while referring to a check of the system that there is no cell of unentered data in the scheduled time zone. As a result, all input business hours are displayed in the input area.

Further, the present invention relates to a program, and the program according to claim 5 causes the computer to execute the work input method according to any one of claims 1 to 4.

According to the present invention, in a work input method for inputting a work item, a work start time, and a work end time in the work management of an employee by installing and executing the program on the information processing apparatus, the work management table , A step of selecting a position on the input screen using the pointing device, a step of selecting the range by moving the pointing device while the position is selected, and deselecting the position Steps,
Storing and storing the input content, and causing the computer to execute a work input method characterized by comprising:

According to the present invention, the step of quantizing the work time zone in unit time for each business item, the step of associating the quantized time zone with a cell on the work management table, and the cell on the work management table And a step of selecting a range of cells by specifying a time axis direction for a specific business item using a pointing device, and displaying a cell of the selection range for a specific business item, A step indicating that a working time has been input; a step of selecting a range of the cell by designating a direction opposite to the time axis for a specific business item using a pointing device; and a display of the cell of the selected range And a step of indicating that the work input has been canceled for a specific business item, and a work input method characterized by comprising: Characterized in that to execute.

In addition, according to the present invention, the step of determining whether or not the business hours input in a plurality of business items overlap, and if it is determined that the input business hours overlap, It is characterized by causing a computer to execute a work input method including a step of displaying a range of business hours and a step of allowing an input operation to be continued by displaying an area representing an overlapping range.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a display method for searching for and displaying a non-input time zone, the step of checking the non-input item and the time zone, and when searching for the non-input item and the time zone, And a step of displaying an input time zone, causing a computer to execute a work input method.

The present invention is a work management system for managing work results, a server that manages a database that stores work results, and a server that manages access from a computer for input installed in a company to each server via a network And a server that executes processing such as work results and work results input.

As described above, according to the present invention, the work table of the work input person is displayed by dividing the work hours into cells of fine unit time for each work item, and the mouse is placed on the cell. When dragging in the time axis direction with a pointing device such as a cursor, the cell time is colored in order as if the fan was expanded with a blow-up, and the selected time zone expands, indicating that work hours have been entered .

In addition, according to the present invention, when canceling the work time once input, if the drag is performed in the direction opposite to the time axis with a pointing device such as a mouse cursor, the fan is expanded as if it was returned to the original state. The coloring of the cells is released in order, indicating that the work entry has been canceled.

In addition, according to the present invention, this system has a feature that it accepts input even for incomplete data such as an overlapped portion or a non-input portion left in the input data. Since human time sense is analog, it is very difficult to input daily working hours digitally and strict working hours for each job. The same applies to the work of eliminating input errors. In the present invention, an input method for displaying work hours in an analog sense has been adopted, so that it can be matched to human sensitivity.

Further, according to the present invention, a work input person uses the graphical input method described above to input work results, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing input errors.

Further, according to the present invention, even when a work input person inputs work information collectively at a later date, if the form is expressed graphically, it is easy to remember and input based on the order of work and rest time. In addition, the accuracy of the data can be kept constant.

Further, according to the present invention, since the work hours can be input by quantizing the results by inputting the results in the work system, it is possible to eliminate individual differences in the accuracy of the data and to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data in the entire workplace. You can arrange the degree.

According to this system, it is possible to calculate a predetermined analysis result regarding the work of the employee based on the work performance. Employees and managers can analyze trends in employee performance, and can perform work management accurately.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a work management system, a work management method, a work performance input method, and a program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The description of the present embodiment is an exemplification, and the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

1 illustrates an example computing system environment for implementing the invention. FIG. 1 shows a work including an input computer 14 which is an embodiment of the work management system of the present invention, an authentication server 11 for authenticating a work input person, and a database server 12 for managing business performance data. It is a figure which shows the network structure of a management system. The input computer 14 is a device for inputting a user's business performance. The authentication server 11 is a device that performs user authentication. The database server 12 is a device that stores and manages business performance data for each user. The application server 15 is a device that executes processing such as work performance and work performance input. Hereinafter, the details of the system will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment, the user's name is the input person A, the name code is 123456, the work day is March 6, 2006, the work in charge is Item A, Item B, Item C, and the work code is Item A: 01, The item B: 02, the item C: 03, and the work classification code are basic design: 002, detailed design: 003, and program: 005. It is assumed that business hours have already been registered with the following contents.
Business hours for item A (detailed design) are 11:00 to 12:00
Item B (basic design) business hours are 13: 00 to 14: 50
Business hours for item C (program) are 10: 20-11: 00

A display example of this work status is shown in FIG. The vertical axis is the business item, the horizontal axis is the time, and item A, item B, item C and the corresponding business time are already input. The auxiliary scale is an input unit time (in the example, 10 minutes). In the system of this embodiment, as the work of item A, the horizontal axis is item A and the time corresponding to the time from 11:00 to 12:00 is displayed in blue. Similarly, for the items B and C, the corresponding areas are displayed in blue. In the non-input display area 21 at the top of the screen, the areas corresponding to working hours from 10:20 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 14:50 are displayed in blue. This display makes it possible to see at a glance the total working hours and the time periods when no data is input.

In the system of this embodiment, employee information, organization information, business information, business item information, and work information are handled. Employee information (FIG. 11), organization information (FIG. 12), business information (FIG. 13), respectively. Management is performed using business item information (FIG. 14) and work information (FIG. 15).

Next, an operation when the work input person inputs work contents to the work schedule will be described.
The work input person activates the work management system. Next, log in to the system by entering your name code and password on the login screen. Next, enter the work date. Next, when the work schedule is displayed, the work content is input using a pointing device such as a mouse. Next, when the input is completed, the work content is registered.

Regarding the above operation, the processing of the system is as follows. The outline of the processing will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
(1) System activation (S001).
(2) The work input person is authenticated (S002).
(3) Search for work information (S003).
(4) The searched work information is expanded to an input cell (S004).
(5) The work schedule is displayed from the work information (S005).
(6) The input of work performance is received (S006).
(7) The time zone that has not been entered for the work table input is searched (S007).
(8) A search is made for a time zone that is input in duplicate for the work table input (S009).
(9) The input data is converted into work information (S011).
The above process will be described in detail based on a flowchart.

(1) System Activation FIG. 19 shows a method of logging in to the work management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the work input person clicks the icon of the work management system installed in the personal computer or the like, the work management system can be activated (S101). As a method for starting the work management system, the work management system may be started from a list of Windows (registered trademark) programs. Also, a work management system may be incorporated as part of the in-house system and activated from the menu.

(2) When the work management system for authenticating the work input person is activated, a login screen is displayed to authenticate the work input person. FIG. 5 shows an example of a login screen. On this screen, the work input person enters the name code and password, and the work management system accepts the input (S102). If "work input" is selected on the login screen, the work management system passes the entered name code and password to the login procedure of the database server 12 (S104). If the work input person is not willing to input work, selecting "End" on the login screen causes the work management system to end all the processes (S103).

Next, the database server 12 is inquired of being a regular user (S105), and when a response indicating that the user is a regular user is obtained from the database server 12, the process proceeds to the next process. If it is not confirmed that the user is an authorized user, the process returns to step 102, and the work input person is requested to input the name code and password again.

When the work management system is used alone, a user definition file may be created and held, and the user may log in by collating the file data with the input data.

(3) Searching for work information FIG. 20 is a flowchart for searching for work information from a database.
When the system is configured by a single computer, the date and time may be acquired from the internal clock of the computer and used as the date when work information is input (S202).
If the system is configured by the network 13, the date and time of the application server 15 may be acquired and used as the date when the work information is input (S202).

The work management system searches the database server 12 for business item information using the name code and date (year / month) as keys (S203). The following three records are searched for at this time.
(Name code) (Date) (Business code) (Business item code)
123456, 200603, 01, 003
123456, 200603, 02, 002
123456, 200603, 03, 005

Next, the work management system searches for work information using the name code and date (year / month / day) as keys (S204). The following three records are searched for at this time.
(Name code) (Business code) (Business item code) (Start time) (End time)
123456, 01, 003, 1100, 1200
123456, 02, 002, 1300, 1450
123456, 03, 005, 1020, 1100

(4) Expanding the searched work information into an input cell FIG. 21 is a flowchart for setting work information into an input cell. In this flowchart, the time variable T and the work item index I are used as loop variables.
First, the time variable T is initialized to 0:00 (S302). Next, the business item index I is initialized (S303). Next, the time index IT is calculated by the following equation (S304).
IT = T / dT
It is checked whether or not there is data input for business I at time T (S305). This check is performed by checking whether the property of the work information input cell C (I, IT) is “entered” or “not entered”. If there is data input at time T, the property of the work information input cell C (I, IT) is changed to “input completed” (S306).
In order to check the next business item, 1 is added to the index I (S307). If I has reached the value of the number N of business items, the check for all business items at time T is completed (S308).

If the check has not been completed, the processing is repeated from step 305.
If the check has been completed, the unit time is added to the time variable T in order to check the next time zone (S309). Next, an inquiry is made as to whether the check has been completed for all time zones (S310). If the check has not been completed, the processing is repeated from step 304. If the check is finished, this processing is completed.

Cell C (I, IT) records “entered” or “not entered” on a cell-by-cell basis, so a graphical work table can be created using the information in cell C. Input data and duplicate data can be checked.

(5) Displaying the work schedule from the work information FIG. 22 is a flowchart for displaying the work schedule.
The name of the worker is displayed (S402). The work day is displayed (S403). The work item is displayed (S404). A time zone and a scale are displayed (S405). The work hours are displayed graphically (S406). The uninput display area 21 is displayed (S407). An overlapping input display area is displayed (S408).

(6) Accepting the input of work results Next, an exemplary method of inputting work results for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail.
According to the present invention, a work input person can use a pointing device such as a mouse to input a work time by dragging the mouse cursor on a cell representing a work time zone in the work schedule. it can.

The work input person moves the mouse cursor to the line of the work item in the work table, and when the position (cell) corresponding to the work start time is reached, click the left mouse button and the left mouse button While holding down, move the mouse cursor in the direction of increasing time, and release the left mouse button at the cell end time. At this time, the system recognizes that the working time has been input to each cell by dragging the mouse cursor over the cell in the direction of the time axis (rightward), and moves the cells in order. Colored blue.

Also, when correcting the work time once entered, the work input person moves the mouse cursor to the position of the end time of the time zone to be corrected, presses the left mouse button, and moves the mouse cursor in the direction of decreasing time Drag. At this time, the system indicates that the work input has been canceled for each cell by dragging the mouse cursor over the cell in the direction opposite to the time axis (leftward). Colored white.

When the work input person releases the left mouse button at the business end time cell position, the system inputs the range from the business start time cell position to the business end time cell position as the work time.

In normal Windows (registered trademark) processing, when a user of a computer instructs a computer to perform some processing, the processing target range is specified with the mouse, and then the processing is selected. Processing is to be executed. In the embodiment, the system is recognized as the input of work hours when a normal Windows (registered trademark) process is devised and the range of working hours (working hours) is specified by dragging with the mouse. In addition, when the mouse is dragged to the left from the cell position of the work end time, the system recognizes that the work input is canceled within the specified time range.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the work input person performs the work of the item B from 13:00 to 14:50 for the work of the employee named the input person A, and inputs the result. The work input person moves the mouse cursor to the position of the cell at the work start time 13:00 of the item B, presses the left button, and drags the mouse cursor to the cell at the work end time 14:50 of the item B. Release the left button. With this operation, the business time of item B is input from 13:00 to 14:50. The input result is shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a work input method according to the present invention. The vertical axis of the table represents the business management item 22 (item A, item B, item C), and the horizontal axis represents time 23. In this embodiment, since the unit time for work management is 10 minutes, one hour is divided into six cells and displayed. In this embodiment, the mouse cursor is dragged from point A25 to point B26.

The above contents will be described from the processing of the system. The operating system of a personal computer provides an event processing program that is called by pressing a mouse button or the like, and each event interrupt processing program can be defined or created by a system creator. As an input means with a pointing device, a series of processes when the left mouse button is pressed, when the mouse cursor is dragged, and when the left mouse button is released are created for each event. And it is executed in combination.

The work input person moves the mouse cursor to a location (cell) corresponding to the job start time on the input screen and presses the left button of the mouse to specify the job start time for a job. Then, the operating system of the personal computer calls an event interrupt processing program (hereinafter referred to as “interrupt processing when the mouse left button is pressed”) corresponding to the pressing of the left button of the mouse.

Next, the work input person moves the mouse cursor while pressing the left button of the mouse in order to designate the business hours. (This is called dragging.) When the mouse is operated, the operating system of the personal computer calls an event interrupt processing program corresponding to mouse dragging (hereinafter referred to as “interrupt processing during mouse drag”).

Next, the work input person releases the left button of the mouse on the cell corresponding to the work end time on the input screen. When the left button of the mouse is released, the operating system of the personal computer calls an event interrupt processing program corresponding to the up of the left button of the mouse (hereinafter referred to as “interrupt processing when the left button of the mouse is up”).

If programming is performed in combination with the above interrupt processing, the work input person can enter or cancel the work hours on the work schedule displayed on the computer screen.

Hereinafter, each process will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 23 illustrates (a) an interrupt process when the left mouse button is pressed, FIG. 24 illustrates (b) an interrupt process during mouse dragging, and FIG. 25 illustrates (c) an interrupt process when the mouse left button is up. This is a flowchart. FIG. 16 is a timing chart of the interrupt process related to the business time input process. FIG. 17 is a timing chart of an interrupt process related to cancellation of business time input.

(A) Interrupt process when the left mouse button is pressed FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the interrupt process when the left mouse button is pressed, regarding the business time input process. When the left button of the mouse is pressed, the operating system of the personal computer calls this program corresponding to the pressing of the left button of the mouse (S501).

The meanings of the symbols used in the calculation formula are described below.
X0: Work table origin X on the input screen
Y0: Origin Y of the work schedule on the input screen
T0: Time corresponding to the origin of the work schedule on the input screen X1: X coordinate of the work start time clicked with the mouse Y1: Y coordinate of the point clicked with the mouse T1: Work start time Dx: Screen in the X-axis direction Dot number Dy: Number of screen dots in the Y-axis direction dT: Unit time (min) for work management

This program checks the click processing flag to check that no other program is performing mouse processing (S502). If another program is performing mouse processing, the interrupt processing when the left mouse button is pressed ends the processing. If another program is not performing mouse processing, the following processing is executed.
In order to block other processes from performing mouse click processing, the click processing flag is set to ON (S503).

The selected business item I1 is expressed by the following calculation formula (S504).
The business start time T1 is expressed by the following calculation formula (S504).
An argument of an array corresponding to the cell C (I1, IT) is calculated from I1 and T1 by the following equation (S505).

The block selecting flag is checked (S506). If the block is being selected, the click processing flag is turned OFF (S513), and the interrupt processing is terminated. If the block selection is not in progress, the block selection in-progress flag is set to ON in order to prevent other processes from executing the drag process (S507).

If the property of the cell C (I, IT) is “not input”, the system regards that the work input person has clicked the cell as the starting point of the work, and performs the following processing. Substituting I for I1 designated as the business item and substituting the current time T for the business start time T1 (S509). When the cell is selected as a working hour, the system displays the cell in blue, changes the cell property to “entered”, and displays the corresponding part of the non-input display area 21 in blue. If there is an overlap of work input in the same time zone, the corresponding place in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in red to warn the work input person that there is an overlap. In order to execute the process, the procedure blue is called (S510).

If the property of the cell C (I, IT) is “input completed”, the system considers that the work input of the cell clicked by the work input person is canceled, and performs the following processing. Substituting I for I1 designated as the business item and the current time T for time T1 for canceling the work input, the data is stored (S511). When the work entry of the cell is canceled, the system displays the cell in white, and the corresponding part of the unentered display area 21 is displayed in white to indicate that the work record has not been entered. When there is duplication of work input in the time zone, the corresponding part of the duplication display area 20 is displayed in white. In order to execute the process, the procedure white is called (S512).

The procedure blue (FIG. 29) performs the following processing. The business item argument is represented by J instead of I, and the time argument is represented by JT instead of IT. In the range of J = 0 to N−1 (number of business items), the property of the cell C (J, JT) is checked, and the number of input cells is counted (S1102). If the number of input cells is 0, the property of the cell C (J, JT) is set to “input completed” (S1104), and the corresponding cell (JT) in the uninput display area 21 is displayed in blue ( In step S1105, the cell C (J, JT) is displayed in blue (S1108). If the number of input cells is one or more, it is assumed that there is already input in another business item in that time zone, the property of the cell C (J, JT) is set to “input completed” (S1106), and duplication The corresponding cell (JT) in the display area 20 is displayed in red (S1107), and the cell C (J, JT) is displayed in blue (S1108).

The procedure white (FIG. 30) performs the following processing. Set the property of the clicked cell C (J, JT) to “not entered” (S1202), and check the property of cell C (J, JT) in the range of J = 0 to N-1 (number of business items) Then, the number of “input completed” cells is counted (S1203). If the number of “input completed” cells is 0, the corresponding cell (JT) in the non-input display area 21 is displayed in white (S1206), and the cell C (J, JT) is displayed in white (S1207). . If the number of “input completed” cells is one, the corresponding cell (JT) in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in white (S1205), and the cell C (J, JT) is displayed in white (S1207).

After all the processing is executed, the click processing flag is turned off (S513), and this interrupt processing is terminated.

(B) Interrupt process during mouse drag FIG. 24 is a flowchart of an interrupt process during mouse drag related to the work time input process.
The meanings of the symbols used in the calculation formula are described below.
T: Time indicated by the current mouse cursor T1: Time specified for the first time with the mouse T2: Time used in the previous interrupt processing I: Business item index IT: Time index (used as cell or array argument) To do)
X0: Work table origin X on the input screen
Dx: Number of screen dots in the X-axis direction dT: Unit time (min) for work management

When the work input person drags the mouse, the operating system of the personal computer calls this interrupt processing program (S601). In this interrupt process, the click process flag is checked to check whether another program is performing a mouse process (S602). If another program is performing a mouse process, the interrupt process during the mouse drag ends.

If another program is not performing mouse processing, the following processing is executed. In order to block other processes from performing the click process, the click process flag is set to ON (S603). The time T indicated by the mouse cursor is calculated from the position (X, Y) where the mouse cursor is dragged by the following equation (S604).
The argument of the array corresponding to the cell C (I1, IT) is calculated from I1 and T1 by the expression (3) (S605).

Next, the block select flag is checked (S606). If the block is not being selected, the click processing flag is turned OFF (S618), and the interrupt process is terminated.
Next, the time T is compared with the time T1 designated by the mouse, and the time T is compared with the time T2 used in the previous interrupt processing (S607, S608, S611, S614). The direction of dragging the mouse cursor is analyzed according to the combination of the respective magnitude relationships, and it is determined whether the input is working time or canceling working time.

There are four types of mouse cursor movement as follows.
(A) When the mouse cursor is dragged without changing the direction to the right (B) When the mouse cursor is dragged without changing the direction to the left (C) Dragging the mouse cursor in the cell in which the working hours have been entered (D) Case where the direction in which the mouse cursor is dragged changes in the middle of a cell in which work hours have not been entered. Each case will be described below.

(A) When the mouse cursor is dragged without changing the direction to the right When the mouse cursor is dragged from the start point T1 to the right without changing its direction on the way, the time from the time T1 It is determined that the work has been input up to T, and the cell (I, IT) is displayed in blue. In order to execute the process, I is substituted for J and IT is substituted for JT, and procedure blue (FIG. 29) is called (S613).
The judgment condition in this case is
・ When T1 <T, T ≧ T2
・ When T1 = T, T> T2
Under these conditions, it is determined that the mouse cursor has been dragged to the right without changing its direction.

(B) When the mouse cursor is dragged without changing its direction to the left When the mouse cursor is dragged from the start point T1 to the left without changing its direction halfway, the time from the time T1 It is determined that the work input has been canceled until T, and the cell (I, IT) is displayed in white. In order to execute the processing, I is assigned to J and IT is assigned to JT, and the procedure white (FIG. 30) is called (S612).
The judgment condition in this case is
・ When T1> T, T ≦ T2
・ When T1 = T, T <T2
Under these conditions, it is determined that the mouse cursor has been dragged to the left without changing its direction.

(C) In a cell in which the working hours have been entered, if the drag direction of the mouse cursor changes halfway, the mouse cursor being dragged by the work input user will be displayed on the cell that has been entered in blue and is displayed in blue. If the direction is changed halfway, it is determined that the work input or work input is canceled from time T1 to time T, and the display of the previous cell (I, IT2) is returned to the original state (blue display). In order to execute the process, the procedure blue is called by substituting I for J and IT2 for JT (S610).
The judgment condition in this case is
・ When T1 <T <T2, cell (I, IT2) is already input. ・ When T2 <T <T1, cell (I, IT2) is already input. , It is determined that the mouse cursor has been dragged by changing its direction from the middle.

(D) When the drag direction of the mouse cursor changes midway in a cell where work hours have not been entered The mouse cursor that is being dragged by a work input user over a white-displayed cell where work hours have not been entered When the direction is changed in the middle, it is determined that the work input or the work input is canceled from time T1 to time T, and the display of the previous cell (I, IT2) is returned to the original state (white display). In order to execute the process, I is assigned to J and IT2 is assigned to JT, and the procedure white (FIG. 30) is called (S616).
The judgment condition in this case is
When T1 <T <T2, the cell (I, IT2) is not input. When T2 <T <T1, the cell (I, IT2) is not input. It is determined that the mouse cursor has been dragged while changing its direction from the middle.

As described above, after processing the above, T is substituted for T2 (S617). After all the processing is executed, the click processing flag is turned off (S618), and this interrupt processing is terminated.

(C) Interrupt processing at the time of mouse left button up FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the interrupt processing at the time of mouse left button up related to the work time input processing.
The operating system of the personal computer calls this program corresponding to the up of the left button of the mouse when the left button of the mouse is released after the left button of the mouse is pressed (S701). This program checks the click processing flag to check whether another program is performing mouse processing (S702). If another program is performing mouse processing, the interrupt processing at the time of mouse left button up ends the processing. If another program is not performing mouse processing, the block selection flag is turned off (S703), all processing is executed, then the click processing flag is turned off (S704), and the interrupt processing is terminated. To do.

By combining and executing the above interrupt processes (a), (b), and (c), it is possible to visually execute the work performance input or cancel process.

(7) Searching for a time zone that has not been input FIG. 26 is a flowchart for searching for a time zone that has not been input in business time input.
Employees must enter in the work table how much time was spent on which work for which work during work hours. All employees are engaged in some business other than break time, and if there is a non-input time zone during work hours, it is considered that the work input person forgot to input. In the following, a process for searching the uninput time zone from the database will be described.

In this program, a search is made for a time zone in which work data is not entered for all time zones of the day and for all business items 22. First, the contents of the input check array CHK are all initialized as “not input” (S802). Since the time is scanned from 00:00 to 24:00, the time variable T is initialized to 00:00 as an initialization condition of the loop variable (S803), and then the business item index I is initialized to 0 (S804). The time index IT is calculated by equation (3) (S805). However, dT is a unit time for work input.

The property of the cell C (I, IT) is checked (S806), and if it is “input completed”, the property of the input check array CHK (IT) is changed to “input completed” (S807).
In order to check the next item, 1 is added to the index I of the business item (S808), and I is compared with the value of the number of business items (S809). If I is greater than or equal to the number of business items, it is determined that all business items have been checked, and the processing from step 810 onward is executed. If the check has not been completed, the process returns to step 803 and the same processing is repeated.

In step 810, a unit time dT is added to check the next time zone for the time variable T. If the search is continued until the time variable T reaches 24:00, all time zones have been checked. In step 811, the time variable T is compared with 24:00. If T is less than 24:00, the process returns to step 803 and the same processing is repeated.
When the time variable T reaches 24:00, it is considered that the check has been completed, and this processing ends.

With this process, the work data input status is stored in the input check array CHK (IT). For example, when the unit time is 10 minutes, if the time zone from 10:00 am to 10:10 am is investigated, since IT = 60, the value of CHK (60) is examined, and CHK (60) = If it is “not input”, it can be determined that the working data is not input.

(8) Searching for Duplicately Entered Time Zones FIG. 27 is a flowchart for searching for duplicately entered time zones in business time input.
A work input person may perform a plurality of tasks during the day, and must enter a result for each task item 22. However, due to an input error or a memory error, a plurality of task items 22 may be input. In some cases, business hours may overlap. In that case, a means for searching for and alerting the overlapping time zone is necessary. Below, the process which searches this overlapping time slot | zone is demonstrated.

The system is activated (S901). The time variable T is initialized to 0:00 (S902). The time index IT is calculated using equation (3) (S903). In the range from I = 0 to N−1 (where N is the number of business items), the number of cells whose properties of the cell C (I, IT) are “input” is counted (S904). It is checked whether the count is 2 or more (S905). If the count is 2 or more, the property of the check array D (IT) is set to “duplicate” (S906). If the count is not 2 or more, the property of the check array D (IT) is set to “normal” (S907).

After executing the processing of step 906 and step 907, unit time is added to the time variable T (S908). An inquiry is made as to whether the check has been completed for all time zones (S909). If the check has not been completed, the processing is repeated from step 903. If the check is finished, this process is finished.

By this process, duplication of input data is checked for all time zones. If this process detects a duplicate time zone, the duplicate time zone is displayed in the duplicate display area 20. The work input person refers to the duplicate display displayed in the overlap display area 20 and corrects the entered work record. It is desirable to program to continue work input even if there are multiple overlapping time zones. In addition, it is desirable to program so that a warning message is displayed when a work input person instructs registration of data.

(9) Converting Input Data to Work Information FIG. 28 is a flowchart for converting data input to the work table into work information.
In this program, all work items 22 input by a work input person are scanned in a double loop for all time periods of a day to create work information. When this program is called, first, the business item index I is initialized (S1002).
Next, since the time is scanned from 00:00 to 24:00, the time variable T is initialized to 00:00 as a loop variable initialization condition (S1003), and the business continuation flag is initialized to OFF ( S1004).
The time index IT is calculated by the equation (3) (S1005), and this IT is used as an argument of the cell information C (I, IT). However, dT is a unit time for work input.

In this program, the properties of the cell C (I, IT) and the business continuation flag are checked, and business information is created according to the ON / OFF state. (S1006, S1007, S1010) If cell C (I, IT) is “input completed” and the business continuation flag is OFF, it is determined that the business of business item I has started at time T. The name code, business code, business item code, and business start time T are stored in the J-th record of work information (S1008). Further, it is determined that the business is continued from this time, and the business continuation flag is turned ON (S1009).
If cell C (I, IT) is “input completed” and the business continuation flag is ON, it is determined that the business is continued and the state of the flag or the like is not changed.

If cell C (I, IT) is “not input” and the business continuation flag is ON, when time T is reached, it is determined that the business has been completed in the previous step, and T-dT is set. The job end time of the job item I is saved in the Jth record of the job information and J is incremented by 1 (S1011). Since the business has already ended, the business continuation flag is turned OFF (S1012).

When the processing from step 1005 to step 1012 is completed, the unit time dT is added to the time variable T in order to check the next time zone (S1013). Next, an inquiry is made as to whether the check has been completed for all time zones (S1014). If the check has not been completed, the processing is repeated from step 1005.

If the check has been completed for all time zones, 1 is added to the index I of the business item (S1015), and it is determined whether the check has been completed for all business items (S1016).
If the check has not been completed, the process returns to step 1003 and the scan of the data input to the work schedule on the screen is repeated. If the check is finished, this process is finished.

Next, an exemplary work performance change input method for carrying out the present invention will be described. In the example, the work input person (1) displayed the work management table, (2) entered additional work hours, and a duplicate warning was displayed for multiple items for the work hours. Accordingly, the input operation and the processing of the system (3) canceling the input of the overlapping work hours and (4) displaying the input contents numerically and checking them will be described in order.

(1) Displaying a work management table An embodiment in which a work input person downloads work information that has been input and displays the work management table on a screen will be described. The meanings of the symbols used in the calculation formula are described below.
I: Work item T1: Work start time T2: Work end time dT: Unit time Y0: Origin of work table Y on the input screen
X0: Work table origin X on the input screen
T0: Time corresponding to the origin of the work schedule on the input screen Dy: Number of screen dots in the Y-axis direction Dx: Number of screen dots in the X-axis direction

In FIG. 6, the user's name is the input person A, the name code is 123456, the work day is March 6, 2006, the work in charge is Item A, Item B, Item C, and the work hours are as follows. Registered.
Business hours for item A (detailed design) are 11:00 to 12:00
Item B (basic design) business hours are 13: 00 to 14: 50
Business hours for item C (program) are 10: 20-11: 00
Here, the business code is item A: 01, item B: 02, item C: 03, and the business item code is basic design: 002, detailed design: 003, and program: 005. First, the work input person enters his name and date. The system checks whether the user is a legitimate user by using the name code as a key, and executes the following process if the legitimate user is confirmed.

The system searches the database using the name code and date as keys (not a unique key). The following three records are searched for at this time.
(Name code) (Business code) (Business item code) (Start time) (End time)
123456, 01, 003, 1100, 1200
123456, 02, 002, 1300, 1450
123456, 03, 005, 1020, 1100

Next, in order to check the non-input display area 21 and the duplicate display area 20 for each unit time from the work start time, the retrieved records are sorted using the work start time and the work code as a sort key.
123456, 03, 005, 1020, 1100
123456, 01, 003, 1100, 1200
123456, 02, 002, 1300, 1450

The coordinates on the screen are calculated by numerical conversion from the business item code, the business start time, and the business end time in the business data record.
The system fills the area corresponding to the record with blue and displays the work management table.

(2) The work input person who additionally inputs the work hours will be described in detail, assuming that the work input from 14:00 to 15:20 is newly entered in item C this time. FIG. 7 shows an example of work input.
In this embodiment, the work input person moves the mouse cursor to the cell (point A) at 14:00, which is the work start time, and presses the left button of the mouse, and the work end time is 15:20. Move to the next cell (point B26), confirm that the newly input cell range is displayed in blue, and then release the left mouse button. The input work for one work item 22 is once completed when the worker input user releases the left mouse button. When working hours are added, business results can be additionally input in the same manner as many times as possible from this state.

The above contents will be described from the processing of the system. When the work input person presses the left mouse button at the position of the business start time 14:00 cell of item C, the operating system of the personal computer presses the left mouse button corresponding to the left mouse button being pressed. Start the interrupt process.
This program checks the click processing flag (S502). Since no other program is performing mouse processing this time, the click processing flag is turned ON (S503), and the following processing is executed.

When the work item index I1 and work start time T1 are calculated from the position (X1, Y1) of the mouse cursor when the left button of the mouse is pressed (S504), I1 = 1 and T1 = 84. In this case, since the block is not being selected, the block selecting flag is turned ON (S507). Next, when the property of the cell C (1, 84) is checked (S508), since it is “not input”, 1 is assigned to I1 and time 14:00 is assigned to the work start time T1 and saved (S509). . Since the cell C (1, 84) is “not input”, the system recognizes that the working time zone has been input and calls the procedure blue (S510).

The procedure blue (FIG. 29) performs the following processing. In the range of J = 0 to 2, the property of the cell C (J, 84) is checked, and the number of “input completed” cells is counted (S1102). In this case, since the number of “entered” cells is two, the property of the cell C (J, 84) is set to “entered” (S1106), and the cell (84) in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in red. (S1107), cell C (J, 84) is displayed in blue (S1108). The program control returns to the interrupt process when the left mouse button is pressed, the click processing flag is turned OFF (S513), and the interrupt process is terminated.

Next, when the work input person drags the mouse cursor to the cell at the work end time 15:20 and designates the work time zone, the operating system of the personal computer causes the interrupt during the mouse drag corresponding to the mouse drag. Call processing.
This program checks the click processing flag (S602). Since no other program is performing mouse processing this time, the click processing flag is turned ON (S603) and the following processing is executed.

When the time T indicated by the mouse cursor is calculated from the position (X, Y) where the mouse cursor is dragged (S604), in this case, T = 14: 10. If the block select flag is checked (S606), since the block is being selected, the following processing is executed.
The time T, T1, and T2 are compared, and the drag direction of the mouse cursor is analyzed from the magnitude relationship. In the first loop, T = T1 = T2 = 14: 10, T is substituted for T2 (S617), the click processing flag is turned OFF (S618), and the interrupt process is terminated.

When the work input user drags the mouse to the next cell, a second interruption occurs. In this case, since T1 = T2 = 14: 10 and T = 14: 20, T> T1 and T> T2, and the process of step 613 is executed. In this interruption process, it recognizes that the additional work hours have been input, and calls the procedure blue (S613).

In the procedure blue (FIG. 29), the property of the cell C (J, 85) is checked in the range of J = 0 to 2, and the number of “input” cells is counted (S1102). In this case, since there are two “entered” cells, the property of the cell C (J, 85) is set to “entered” (S1106), and the cell (85) in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in red (S1107). ), Cell C (J, 85) is displayed in blue (S1108). As described above, control of the program returns to the interrupt process during mouse dragging, the value of T is substituted for T2 (S617), the click process flag is turned OFF (S618), and this interrupt process ends. Thereafter, the mouse cursor is dragged until reaching the cell at time 15:20, and this interrupt process is called each time it passes through one cell, and sequentially displayed in blue.

The work input person drags the mouse cursor to the work end time 15:20, and then releases the left button of the mouse. The operating system of the personal computer calls an interrupt process at the time of the mouse left button up corresponding to the mouse left button up at the timing when the mouse left button is released.
This program checks the click processing flag (S702), and since no other program is performing mouse processing, the block selection flag is turned OFF (S703), and the click processing flag is turned OFF (S704). ), This interrupt processing ends.

Through the above processing, the work input person has performed work input for item C from 14:00 to 15:20, so part of the work input for item B overlapped, resulting in 14 in the display area for duplicate input. The time zone from 0:00 to 14:50 was displayed in red.

(3) Canceling input of business results Therefore, for item B, the business results from 14:00 to 14:50 are deleted and corrected from 13:00 to 14:00.
The operation method of the above process performed by the work input person will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The work input person moves the mouse cursor to the cell 31 (point D) at the work end time 14:40 of the item B, presses the left button of the mouse at the position of the cell 31, and the cell 30 at 14:00. Drag the mouse cursor to (Point C) and release the left mouse button at the cell 30.
Then, the blue display of the cells from 14:40 to 14:00 is canceled, and the normal white display is restored.

The above contents will be described from the processing of the system.
When the work input person presses the left button of the mouse at the cell position of the work end time 14:40 of the item B, the operating system starts the mouse left button pressing process corresponding to the pressing of the left button of the mouse.
In the mouse left button pressing process, the click processing flag is checked to check whether another program is performing a mouse process (S502). In this case, since the other program is not performing mouse processing, the following processing is executed.

In order to block other processes from performing mouse click processing, the click processing flag is set to ON (S503). The business item index I1 and time T1 are calculated from the position (X1, Y1) of the mouse cursor when the left button of the mouse is pressed (S504). In this case, I1 = 1 and T1 = 88.
Next, the block selecting flag is checked (S506). In this case, since the block is not being selected, the block selecting flag is turned ON (S507).
Next, the property of the cell C (1, 88) is checked. Since the cell C (1, 88) is “entered”, 1 is substituted for I1 and time 14:40 is substituted for the work start time T1. (S509). Since the cell C (1, 88) is “input completed”, the system determines that an instruction to delete the already input time zone has been given, and calls the procedure white (S512).

The procedure white (FIG. 30) performs the following processing. The property of the clicked cell C (1, 88) is set to “not entered” (S1202), the property of the cell C (J, 88) is checked in the range of J = 0 to 2, and “entered” is checked. The number of cells is counted (S1203). In this case, since the number of “input completed” cells is one, the corresponding cell (JT) in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in white (S1205), and the cell C (J, JT) is displayed in white. (S1207). The control of the program returns to the mouse left button pressing process as described above. In this process, the click process flag is turned OFF (S513), and the interrupt process is terminated.

Next, the work input user drags a cell from 14:40 to 14:00 with the mouse.
When the mouse cursor is dragged, the operating system of the personal computer calls an interrupt process during mouse drag corresponding to the mouse drag.
In this interrupt processing, the click processing flag is checked to check whether another program is performing mouse processing (S602). This time, since no other program is performing mouse processing, the following processing is executed.

In order to block other processes from performing the click process, the click process flag is set to ON (S603). The time T indicated by the mouse cursor is calculated from the position (X, Y) where the mouse cursor is dragged (S604). In this case, T = 14: 40.
Next, the block select flag is checked (S606). In this case, since the block is not being selected, the following processing is executed.

The time T, T1, and T2 are compared, and the drag direction of the mouse cursor is analyzed from the magnitude relationship. In the first loop, T = T1 = T2 = 14: 40, T is substituted for T2 (S617), the click processing flag is turned OFF (S618), and the interrupt processing is terminated.

When the work input user drags the mouse to the next cell, a second interruption occurs. In this case, since T1 = T2 = 14: 40 and T = 14: 30, T <T1 and T <T2, and the processing of step 612 is executed. In this interrupt process, it is determined that an instruction to delete the input time zone has been given, and the procedure white is called (S512).

In the procedure white (FIG. 30), the property of the cell C (1, 87) reached by dragging is set to “not input” (S1202), and the property of the cell C (J, 87) is set in the range of J = 0 to 2. And the number of “input completed” cells is counted (S1203). In this case, since the number of “input completed” cells is one, the corresponding cell (87) in the overlap display area 20 is displayed in white (S1205), and the cell C (J, 87) is displayed in white ( S1207).

When the processing of the procedure white is completed, the value of T is substituted for T2, and the click processing flag is turned OFF. Thereafter, the mouse is dragged until it reaches the cell at time 14:00, and each time one cell is passed, this interrupt processing is called in order and displayed in white. When this is viewed from the work input person, it seems that work input is released one cell at a time in accordance with the movement of the mouse cursor.

When the work input person arrives at the cell at 14:00, the work left input button is released, and the deletion of the work time once entered is terminated. The operating system of the personal computer calls this program corresponding to the up of the left button of the mouse when the left button of the mouse is released after the left button of the mouse is pressed (S701). This program checks the click processing flag to check whether another program is performing mouse processing (S702).
If another program is performing mouse processing, the interrupt processing at the time of mouse left button up ends the processing. If another program is not performing mouse processing, the block selection flag is turned off (S703), all processing is executed, then the click processing flag is turned off (S704), and the interrupt processing is terminated. To do.

By executing each of the above interrupt processing in succession, a work input person can visually input work time input or work input cancellation simply by dragging the mouse cursor on the input screen. it can.

(4) The present invention in which the input contents are displayed numerically and checked The present invention is a screen in which the working hours are visually displayed (hereinafter referred to as “graph screen”) and a numerically displayed screen (hereinafter referred to as “numerical display screen”). It is characterized by having a function that can be switched between a graph screen and a numerical value display screen. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to check work data in a multifaceted manner by switching the screen and referring to both the graph screen and the numerical value display screen.

In the present embodiment, an example of numerical display will be described on the assumption that a work input person has input a work having the following contents.
Item A (detailed design) 11: 00-12: 00
Item B (basic design) 13: 00-14: 00
Item C (program) 10: 20-11: 00
Item C (program) 14: 0 to 15:20

FIG. 8 shows a display example of a graph screen on which the work data is displayed. Clicking the “Working time” tab on the graph screen switches to the numerical display screen. FIG. 9 shows a display example of a numerical display screen on which the work data is displayed. Clicking on the “Work schedule” tab on the numerical display screen switches to the “Graph screen”. That is, the numerical display screen and the graph screen can be switched to each other at any time by clicking the “work schedule” or “work hours” tab. When the “working time” tab is clicked with the mouse, the work management system aggregates cell information, processes the information into work information, and displays a part of the work information on a numerical display screen.

The properties of the cell C (I, IT) are two-dimensional arrays, where “0” is represented as “not entered” and “1” is represented as “entered”. In this embodiment, the properties of the cell C (I, IT) are as follows.
00000011111000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000001111111000000000000
0011110000000000000000001111111110000

000000000000000000000000000000000000

The properties of the cell C (I, IT) are as follows. The first line is the business name “item A”, the business item is “detailed design”, the second line is the business name “item B”, and the business item is “basic”. “Design”, the third line corresponds to the business name “item C”, and the business item corresponds to “program”. As for the working hours, “1” is set only in the cell in which the working hours are input by dragging with the mouse.

The program of this embodiment converts this data into the following business information.
123456, 01, 003, 1100, 1200
123456, 02, 002, 1300, 1400
123456, 03, 005, 1020, 1100
123456, 03, 005, 1400, 1520

When displaying on the numerical display screen, the business information is rearranged and displayed in ascending order of business hours.
123456, 03, 005, 1020, 1100
123456, 01, 003, 1100, 1200
123456, 02, 002, 1300, 1400
123456, 03, 005, 1400, 1520

Hereinafter, the numerical display process will be specifically described.
FIG. 31 is a flowchart for converting data input to the work schedule on the screen into work information.
When the work input person clicks the “working time” tab on the graph screen (FIG. 8), the program is started. In this program, all work items 22 are scanned in a double loop for all time zones of the day to create work information.

When this program is called, the business name index I is initialized (S1302). In this embodiment, the initialization condition for the loop variable I is I = 0, and the termination condition is I = 2. Next, the argument J of work information is initialized. This J is a sequential argument that is assigned in order from 0 in the order in which the work input is searched when the property of C (I, IT) is searched in a loop.

Next, the time is scanned. In this embodiment, the initialization condition for the loop variable T is T = 10: 00, and the end condition is T = 16: 00. The time variable T is initialized to 00:00 (S1303), and the business continuation flag is initialized to OFF (S1304).
The time index IT is calculated by the following equation (S1305).
This IT is used as an argument of cell information C (I, IT).

In this program, the property of the cell C (I, IT) and the business continuation flag are checked, and business information is created according to the ON / OFF state.
If cell C (I, IT) has been input and the business continuation flag is OFF, it is determined that the business item I has started business at time T, and T at this time is the business start time of business item I. And The name code, the work code, and the work item code are written in the Jth record of the work information (S1308). The business start time is written in the Jth record of work information (S1309), and the business continuation flag is turned ON (S1310).
If cell C (I, IT) is “input completed” and the business continuation flag is ON, it is determined that the business is continued and the state of the flag or the like is not changed.
If cell C (I, IT) is “not input” and the business continuation flag is ON, when time T is reached, it is determined that the business has been completed in the previous step, and T-dT is used as the business. The work end time of item I is set (S1312). The work end time is stored in the J-th record of the work information (S1312).
Since the business has already ended, the business continuation flag is turned OFF (S1313).

When the processing from S1303 to S1314 is completed, the unit time dT is added to the time variable T in order to check the next time zone (S1315).
Next, it is determined whether the check has been completed for all time zones (S1316). If the check has not been completed, the processing is repeated from step 1305. If the check has been completed for all time zones, 1 is added to the index I of the business item (S1317), and it is determined whether the check has been completed for all business items (S1318). If the check has not been completed, the process returns to step 1303 and the scan of the data input to the work schedule on the screen is repeated. If the check is finished, the process of converting to work information is finished.

The work management system is preferably configured so that the scale and configuration of the system can be changed according to the size of the company and the number of employees.
The work management system according to the present invention may be configured by the network 13 or a single computer.

When the work management system is configured on the network 13, the data and applications of the work management system are arranged on the server group, and a personal computer is connected via the network 13. There are three components of the server: the authentication server 11, the application server 15, and the database server 12. However, all server functions may be installed in one server, or three servers are prepared and each of them is prepared. A server function may be installed. Alternatively, a plurality of database servers 12 can be prepared and operated as a system for managing work of tens of thousands of people.

Further, when the work management system is configured by a single computer, all functions may be installed and used in one personal computer.
Also, work data may be managed in a file without using database software.

As a method for starting the work management system, a method for installing an icon of the work management system on a desktop of a personal computer or the like is general. Alternatively, the work management system may be activated from a list of Windows (registered trademark) programs. Also, a work management system may be incorporated as part of the in-house system and activated from the menu.

As a user authentication method, an electronic certificate may be used in addition to a method using a user ID and a password. Further, an IC card or RFID may be used as a storage medium. Also, biometric authentication such as fingerprint, vein, pupil, fist may be used.

As a method of displaying the selected working time range, a display area having a time axis may be provided in a part of the display screen, and the selected range may be colored and displayed. Further, a display area having a time axis may be provided in a part of the display screen, and the selected time range may be displayed as a numerical value. Alternatively, a switching button may be prepared to switch between numerical display and coloring display.

As a device for inputting work, a pointing device other than a mouse, such as a light pen and a joystick, can be used.

As programming, a work input may be accepted without using a mouse interrupt process. In this case, the interruption from the mouse is masked, and the left button press, drag and up of the mouse are accepted as a series of processes. This eliminates the need for flag processing for blocking other interrupts, resulting in a simple program.
