Description

  The present invention relates to a flexible course system, a flexible course method, and a flexible course program that arbitrarily set progress information of a course that a student attends at the discretion of a lecturer.

  Conventionally, when a student takes a course at a university or the like, he / she attends at a predetermined course opening date.

  At this time, when a student takes a course, the attendee's ID is read and a course management record is recorded, and a course material is sent to absent persons to obtain a course effect (Patent Document 1).

In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of the administrative work for the tutoring of the private cram school, it is detected that the student has entered and exited the facility, and each student will take a class based on this detection result and the attendance information registered by each student. It has been performed to determine whether or not to have attended (Patent Document 2).
JP 2007-52485 A JP 2007-115207 A

  However, the above-described conventional technology detects that a student has entered or exited a lecture room or facility, manages whether or not a predetermined course or course has been taken, and distributes attendance materials to absentees. The lecturer's judgment is to increase or decrease the degree of progress of the course when important matters are communicated to the student at the discretion of the lecturer, or this is changed when the lecturer is busy and there is a delay in the course schedule There is a problem that the lecturer cannot set the value when he / she cannot give a lecture or conveys important matters to students.

  In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to make adjustments such as setting or changing the course start date and time at the discretion of the lecturer when the lecturer is busy at an academic meeting and cannot take the course time. It was.

  In order to solve these problems, the present invention is a flexible course system that arbitrarily sets course progress information that students take at the discretion of the lecturer. The sum of the first table for setting the weight to be assigned, the specified time indicating the total course time assigned to the course with the course name, and the weight of the course contents initially set in the first table or initially set by the lecturer Based on instructions from the instructor from the second table for setting a certain weight, the weight for the course content of the course with the name of the lecturer in charge in the first table is increased or decreased, or in the first table If there is no course content instructed during the course with the name of the lecturer in charge of the instructor, means for newly adding the course content and setting the weight, the course content set in the first table, and its Means for determining the end of the course when the total weight of the course contents that have already been completed is calculated and the cumulative weight, which is the calculated sum, is equal to or exceeds the specified weight set in the second table And so on.

  At this time, if a third table is set with the start date and time and the end date and time to be opened, and the cumulative start time of the lectures accumulated by the instructor exceeds the specified percentage of the specified time set in the second table In addition, with reference to the third table, there is provided means for predicting the end date and time when the same start schedule as the completed class is established based on the start date and end date and time.

  Further, when the calculated end date / time exceeds the end date / time set in the third table, a means for notifying the instructor of a warning that the course end date / time is exceeded is provided.

  In addition, if the calculated end date / time exceeds the end date / time set in the third table, the lecturer is instructed by the lecturer who has not started the course set in the first table during the period from the current date / time to the end date / time. Means are provided for notifying the scheduled start date and time of the automatically scheduled contents and a list of the course contents.

  In addition, with respect to a course with a course name, there is provided a means for notifying a student who is registered to take a course with a course name when a lecturer designates the course date and time.

  In addition, a fourth table is provided for cumulatively setting the attendance time when the student has taken the course, and the cumulative start time for which the lecturer has accumulated the course start time is set to a predetermined percentage of the prescribed time set in the fourth table. If it exceeds the limit, refer to the fourth table to extract students whose attendance rate is less than or equal to the second specified rate from the specified rate, and to provide a means for notifying the student of an insufficient attendance rate warning. ing.

  The present invention provides a first table for setting a weight corresponding to each course content of a course with a course name, and a second table for setting a prescribed time and a prescribed weight, and is based on instructions from the lecturer. Increase / decrease the weight for the course contents instructed by the instructor in table 1 or if there is no course contents instructed by the instructor in the first table, add new course contents and set the weight, By determining the end of the course when the total weight, which is the sum of the weights, is equal to or exceeds the specified weight, the degree of progress of the course will be increased or decreased when important matters are communicated to the students or insufficient Or when the lecturer is busy and there is a delay in the course schedule, so the lecture time cannot be taken, or when important matters are communicated, the value is set afterwards. of Adjustments such as to set or change the offered date and time of the course by the cross-sectional becomes possible.

  The present invention provides a flexible course system that arbitrarily sets progress information of courses that students take at the discretion of a lecturer, a first table that sets weights corresponding to course contents of courses with course names, a specified time, A second table is provided to set the specified weights. Based on instructions from the instructor, the weights for course contents are increased or decreased, or new course contents are added and weights are set. It was realized that when a certain cumulative weight was equal to or exceeded the specified weight, it was judged that the course had ended.

  FIG. 1 shows a system configuration diagram of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a server 1 is connected to a network and executes various processes in accordance with a program, and constitutes a flexible course system that arbitrarily sets progress information of courses that students take at the discretion of the lecturer. Yes, here, from presetting means 11, date and time notification means 12, student number determination means 13, weight accumulation means 14, completion determination means 15, prediction means 16, warning notification means 17, weight change means 18, and database 21 It is composed.

  The pre-setting means 11 sets various parameters in advance, and registers the student and the name of the course to be opened (see FIG. 6 (c)), and the instructor 3 sets and changes the weight of the course. (See FIG. 9C, etc.), the administrator registers in advance the course ID, lecturer ID, student ID, etc. to be offered (to be described later with reference to FIG. 2).

  The date and time notification means 12 notifies the students and lecturers who take the course by e-mail or the like when the date and time of the course is set or changed.

  The student number determination means 13 determines the number of students who have taken a course.

  The weight accumulation means 14 calculates the total of the weights assigned to the course contents that the lecturer has finished the lecture.

  Completion determining means 15 determines that the course is completed when the accumulated weight value for each course accumulated by weight accumulating means 14 is equal to or exceeds the prescribed weight.

  The predicting means 16 predicts the end date and time of the course from the lecture opening status of the lecturer 3 up to the present time.

  The warning notification means 17 notifies various warnings (for example, when it is determined that the scheduled end date / time predicted by the prediction means 16 exceeds the set end date / time of the course, the warning is notified to the instructor, and the attendance ratio) Warning notices for attending low-risk students).

  The weight changing means 18 increases the weight assigned to the lecture contents lectured by the instructor 3 when the lecture contents are sufficiently lectured, decreases when the lecture is still insufficient, When there is a shortage, a new course content is provided and a weight is set on the course content.

  The database 21 stores various data in an easy-to-access structure. Here, course data 22, course setting data 23, empty classroom data 24, registered student data 25, weight distribution data 26, and the like are registered. Is.

  The course data 22 registers and manages the course ID, the number of registered students, the prescribed time, the prescribed weight, the accumulated class opening time, the accumulated weight, etc. in association with the course name (see FIG. 6A). ).

  The course setting data 23 sets data necessary for a course, and registers and manages, for example, a course name, a lecturer name, a specified time, a start date, an end date, a specified weight, and an outline of the weight. (See FIG. 8A).

  The empty classroom data 24 manages empty information of the classroom used for the course (see FIG. 6B).

  The registered student data 25 is registered and managed for students who have registered for each course (see (c) of FIG. 6).

  The weight distribution data 26 sets and distributes weights for each course content constituting the course (see (c) of FIG. 9).

  Instructor 3 is instructor 3 who gives a lecture. Here, the lecturer 3 possesses the ID card 31, the PC / mobile terminal 32, and the like.

  The ID card 31 is an ID card possessed by the instructor 3 and in which identification information such as the instructor ID and name of the instructor 3 is written. When entering the classroom, the ID card 31 automatically reads the ID, The ID is automatically read when the user leaves, and the lecture start date / time and end date / time of the lecturer 3 are acquired.

  The PC / portable terminal 32 is connected to the network 7 and is a terminal for the instructor 3 to perform various settings. Here, the PC / portable terminal 32 includes a setting unit 33 and the like.

  The setting means 33 performs various settings. For example, the setting means 33 inputs and registers the next lecture date and time, changes or adds the weight of the course content of the course, and the like.

Student 4 is a student who takes a lecture. Here, the student 4 possesses an ID card 41, a PC / mobile terminal 42, and the like.
The ID card 41 is written with identification information such as the student ID and name of the student 4, and automatically reads the ID when entering the classroom and automatically reads the ID when leaving the classroom. The acquisition start date and the end date and time of the student 4 are obtained.

  The PC / portable terminal 42 is connected to the network 6 and is a terminal for the student 4 to make various settings. Here, the PC / mobile terminal 42 includes a setting means 43 and the like.

  The setting means 43 performs various settings. For example, the setting means 43 designates a course name to be attended and registers the attendance.

  The classroom 5 is a classroom (facility) where the lecturer 3 gives a lecture to the student 4, and here, an ID card reader 51 is provided.

  The ID card reader 51 reads the lecturer ID, student ID, and the like from the ID card 31 possessed by the lecturer 3 and the ID card 41 possessed by the student 4 and notifies the server 1 of them.

  The networks 6 and 7 are networks in which the PC / mobile terminal 31 possessed by the lecturer 3 and the PC / mobile terminal 41 possessed by the student 4 perform data communication with the server 1, such as the Internet and a local LAN. It is.

  Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described in detail according to the order of the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 2 shows a flowchart for explaining the operation of the present invention. The server 1, the lecturer 3, and the student 4 correspond to the server 1, the lecturer 3, and the student 4 in FIG.

In FIG. 2, S11 is a pre-processing in the server 1,
1. Course ID registration:
2. Registration of instructor ID;
3. Student ID registration:
I do. In the server 1, the course ID that the administrator opens, the lecturer ID of the course, and the student ID that attends the course are registered in advance (see registered student data 25 in FIG. 6C). .

  In S12, it is determined whether it is the end time. This determines whether the lecturer 3 is notified to the server 1 by setting the start date and time and the end date and time of the course instructed by the lecturer 3 in S1 and S2 described later. If YES, the process proceeds to S13. If no, wait until notified.

S1 is a pre-processing by lecturer 3,
1. Setting the specified time:
2. Setting the specified weight:
3. Setting the start and end times:
I do. This is done by operating the PC / portable terminal 31 owned by the instructor 3 and setting the specified time, specified weight, start date and end date of the course for which it is in charge, for example: 38H (hour )
・ 150 as the specified weight of the course
・ The course will be set from May 11 to the end of December as the course start and end dates.

  S2 notifies the server. As a result, the specified time (38H), specified weight (150), start date to end date (May 11 to end of December) set in S1 are set to the course setting data (instructor) in FIG. Registration is performed as shown in the entry 23 (a). Here, the specified weight (150) is an initial weight schedule set by the instructor 3 on the weight distribution data (change, addition) 26 in FIG. It is the sum. This weight schedule is obtained by multiplying a coefficient (for example, 2) of a unit time (for example, 10 minutes) lectured by the lecturer 3 by a weight (for example, 2), and is set as the weight schedule (4). The higher the importance of the lecturer and the importance when the lecturer 3 lectures, the larger the value (can be changed after the lecture).

  S13 notifies the lecturer and registered students. This is because the lecturer 3 is YES in S1, S2, and S12, and the lecturer 3 has registered the start date and end date of the course in the course setting data 23 of FIG. Refer to the registered student data 25 of FIG. 6C for information (start date, end date, specified time 38H, specified weight 150, etc.) of the course. Notify the teacher by email.

  In S14, it is determined whether or not the date and time of the next course is registered from the lecturer. This determines whether the lecturer 3 has notified the registration of the date and time of the next course. If YES, the process proceeds to S15. In the case of NO, it waits until there is a registration notification.

  In S15, since it is determined that there is a registration notification of the next course date and time in YES of S14, the next course date and time when the registration notification is received is accepted.

  S16 searches for a classroom, and searches for a classroom that satisfies the number of registered students <the number of accommodated students. For example, the number of registered students registered in the corresponding course in the registered student data 25 of FIG. 6C is obtained, and the empty classroom of the next course date and time with the smallest capacity that satisfies the obtained number of registered students is shown in FIG. Search (b) for empty classroom data (specified date) 24.

  In S17, the next lecture date and time and the classroom are stored.

  S18 notifies the lecturer and the registered student. This notifies the lecturer 3 and the registered student 4 by e-mail of the next lecture date and time and the reserved empty classroom.

  In S31, it is determined whether or not the student 4 has received the date / time notification of the next lecture notified in S18. In the case of YES, the server 1 is notified by e-mail of the availability of attendance in S32.

  In S19, it is determined whether or not the server 1 that has received the e-mail notified in S31 has received the e-mail of the student ID scheduled to be taken. If YES, the process proceeds to S20. In the case of NO, S19 is repeatedly awaited.

  S20 memorizes the attendance predetermined student.

  On the other hand, in response to notifying the lecturer 3 of the next lecture date and time in S18, it is determined whether or not the lecturer 3 secures a place (whether an empty classroom could be secured at the next lecture date) in S5. In the case of YES, since it has been found that an empty classroom at the next lecture date and time designated by the lecturer 3 has been secured, the process proceeds to S7. In the case of NO, a different date and time (start date and end date and time of lecture) is set again for the next lecture date and time in S6, and the next date and time (start date and time and end date and time) are set in S4 by e-mail. Notify at. Then, S14 and subsequent steps are repeated, and an attempt is made to secure an empty classroom at the reset next lecture date and time (start date and time, end date and time).

  In S7, if YES in S5, it is determined that an empty classroom for the next lecture date and time has been secured, so the weight setting (change or addition as necessary) of the last lecture time is performed. For example, with respect to the course contents constituting the course shown in the weight distribution data 26 of FIG. 9C, the weight of the course contents lectured last time is increased or decreased as necessary (the higher the importance of the lecture contents, the more The weight is set higher as the lectured content is fully consumed), or the weight of the added course content is set when the previously lectured content is not in the course content. Then, the set weight is notified to the server 1, and it is determined whether or not the weight of the lectured time has been received in S21. Here, since it is YES, cumulative addition is performed for each course in S22. For example, after the weight distribution data 26 shown in FIG. 9C is changed or added as shown in the additional example, the weight (scheduled weight) given to the scheduled content (course content) constituting the course for each course is shown. , After the change) is calculated, and in the example shown in the figure, it is calculated that the initial planned cumulative weight is 150 to 160.

  Through the above procedure, the instructor 3 sets the specified time, specified weight, start / end date and time of the lecture, registers it in the course setting data 23 in FIG. 8A and notifies the registered student and instructor. When the next lecture date and time is specified, an empty classroom will be secured and the registered students and lecturers will be notified of the next lecture date and time, and the lecturer will increase / decrease and add the weight of the previous lecture contents (planned contents) as necessary. It becomes possible to set.

  FIG. 3 shows a flowchart (part 2) for explaining the operation of the present invention.

  In FIG. 3, in S61, the server 1 periodically notifies the cumulative opening time and the prescribed time for each course, and the cumulative attendance time for each student. This is because the server 1 is a database (not shown) for each course, and the cumulative start time and specified time provided by the instructor 3 (the initial setting is the specified time set by the instructor 3 in S1 of FIG. The latest specified time of the specified time after correction by the administrator or the lecturer 3 is read out according to the above, and the cumulative attendance time for each student is read out.

  In S62, it is determined whether the period is 50% or more. This is determined from the start date and the end date (S1 in FIG. 2 described above) of the course set by the instructor 3 that the current date is 50% or more. In the case of YES, since it is determined that the current half of the course has passed, the process proceeds to S63. In the case of NO, it is found that the current half of the course has not yet passed, so the process ends here.

  In S63, it is determined whether the cumulative class opening time is 50% or more. This is to determine whether or not the cumulative start time of the time that the lecturer 3 has started is 50% or more of the specified time. In the case of YES, since it has been found that the current period has passed half of the course and the cumulative opening time has exceeded half of the prescribed time, the lecturer 3 can predict that the lecture will be held as scheduled, so students In S64, students who are under attendance are selected, a shortage warning is sent by e-mail, and in S65, lecturer 3 is lectured as scheduled because the current half of the course has passed and the total course duration has exceeded 50%. Notify by email.

On the other hand, in the case of NO in S63, even if the current half of the course has elapsed (YES in S62), it has been found that the cumulative opening time of the instructor 3 is less than half. The end time is predicted, that is, the end time is predicted when it is performed at the same pace as the current date and time of the lecture that has already been started, and the end time is predicted from the start time and the accumulated weight in S67, and the lecturer in S68 Notify the prediction (end date and time) and the cumulative weight. For example, as shown in the warning screen of FIG.
・ Period elapsed: 70%
・ Total course hours: 30%
・ Total weight: 30%
・ If the course continues, the course will not end on the scheduled end date.
The instructor 3 is notified by e-mail of a warning screen including the contents.

  Further, in the weight schedule (initial setting) in FIG. 9C, it is set to end when the weight total is 150. However, after the instructor 3 changes the weight of the schedule contents (course contents) (the course contents are sufficiently set). If the important weights are changed because the lectures have been fully communicated with important points, the weight will be accumulated 160). If the month and date exceeding the initial 150 is recalculated, the end of December (initial setting) is shown in the example shown in the figure. If it is predicted to be completed at the end of October and can be calculated to end within the scheduled end date, it is predicted to the instructor in S68 (scheduled end date (achieved weight cumulative 150 when completed at the end of October) and weight cumulative (160 (end The scheduled date (the end of December) is reported).

  Through the above procedure, if the course period has been halved and the cumulative course duration has exceeded half, a warning will be sent to the student who has not attended by e-mail, and the lecturer will be informed that the course will be conducted smoothly. Notify by email. On the other hand, if the cumulative class hours are less than half even after the class period has elapsed, it is determined that the instructor is inadequate, and the predicted end month when the class starts at the current pace is calculated, weighted from class hours and weight It is possible to calculate the scheduled end month after the change, notify the instructor 3 of the predicted end date and time, and the total weight by e-mail, and increase the class opening time.

  In FIG. 3, S41 further determines whether or not to continue the determination in the case of S3 in FIG. 2 described above. In the case of YES, since it is found that the e-mail asks for the determination from S67, the process proceeds to S43. If NO, the process ends here.

  In S42, it is determined whether the determination is completed. In the case of YES, it is determined that the lecturer 3 has sufficiently lectured although there is not enough time (the weight of the course contents constituting the course is significantly changed, for example, as shown in FIG. Since the weight is 160, which exceeds the initial setting of 150, it was determined that the lecture was sufficiently conducted (specifically, it was determined as the predicted end date (end of October) predicted to exceed the initial setting of 150). If NO, the process proceeds to S43.

  In S43, it is determined whether the determination is a warning. For example, it is determined whether or not a warning is notified on the warning screen (a screen in which an e-mail is opened) in FIG. If YES, the process proceeds to S44. If NO, the process ends here.

  In S44, it is determined whether or not to change the end time. This is because, for example, the instructor 3 who has seen the warning screen in FIG. 10A clicks the “Y” icon displayed next to the message “Do you want to change the end time?” And changes the end time. Select. If YES, the end time is reset at S45 for the convenience of the instructor, the process returns to (c) of FIG. 2, the end time of the course is changed (usually delayed), and the steps after S2 are repeated. As a result, if it is predicted that the lecturer 3 will not complete the lecture by the end time if the lecturer 3 lectures at the current pace, the end time is freely changed for the convenience of the instructor 3 and is particularly busy and scheduled. Thus, a system that can be adjusted in accordance with the convenience of the instructor 3 can be realized when it is desired to have students attend lectures of the Nobel Prize instructor who frequently changes the instructor.

  In S46, it is found that the end time is not changed in NO in S44, so (prescribed time-cumulative course opening time) / remaining period is calculated.

  In S47, the start time m per week is calculated. In S47 and 48, the opening hours m per week of the remaining period are calculated.

  In S48, it is determined whether the mode is automatic. In the case of YES, it progresses after S50. In the case of NO, since it has been found that the setting is made manually instead of the automatic mode, it is determined whether or not the next date / time is set in S49, and in the case of YES, B in FIG. 2 (S4 and subsequent steps) is repeated.

  In S50, since the automatic mode is determined by YES in S48, a selection screen in which m is selected is created and displayed. For example, an automatic schedule screen shown in FIG. 10B, which will be described later, is created and displayed. Here, an example in which the opening hours per week m = 60 minutes is displayed.

  In S51, possible days of the week are selected.

  In S52, the start time is selected. In S51 and S52, on the automatic schedule screen shown in FIG. 10B, the day of the week when the lecturer 3 can make the next lecture and the start time are sequentially selected.

  In S53, start time + m = end time is calculated.

  S54 is the next date and time set value. This sets the start date / time and end date / time of the course set in S50 to S53 as the next date / time. Then, the process from (B) in FIG. 1 (S4 in FIG. 1) onward is executed.

  Through the above S41 to S54, the instructor 3 can change the end time of the course according to the instructor's convenience, or can specify and set the next date and time that is convenient for the instructor without changing the end time. .

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the present invention (part 3).

  In FIG. 4A, S71 determines whether the lecture content exceeds the specified time. If YES, the process proceeds to S72. In the case of NO, since it has been found that the lecture content does not exceed the specified time, the process ends here.

  In S72, it is determined whether or not the lecture content greatly exceeds the specified time. In the case of YES, since it has been found that the lecture content by the lecturer 3 greatly exceeds the prescribed time, another course is set in S73. As a result, when it is found that the content of the lecture by the lecturer 3 greatly exceeds the specified time, another course is set, and the steps after S1 in FIG. 2 described above as the separate course (new course) are repeated. On the other hand, in the case of NO in S72, it has been found that the lecture content has exceeded the specified time but has not significantly exceeded, so the lecture is given so that the excess is processed within the specified time.

  As described above, if the lecture content of lecturer 3 greatly exceeds the prescribed time, a separate course is provided and managed as a separate course after S1 in FIG. 2 described above. If it does not exceed the specified time, it will be processed within the specified time. For the convenience of the instructor, a separate course will be provided to enhance the content of the lecture. It can be modified to do so.

  In FIG. 4B, S81 calculates the attendance rate of students.

  In S82, it is determined whether or not the predetermined rate has been reached. If yes, then continue with S84. If NO, the process proceeds to S83.

  In S83, it is determined whether the questionnaire result is early in the lecture. If YES, the process proceeds to S84. If NO, the process ends here.

  In S84, it is determined that the course has ended too early (whether the weight is large).

  In S85, a warning is sent to the president.

  S86 sends a notice to the instructor. In S84, S85, and S86, because the student's lecture was given by lecturer 3, the attendance rate was found to be less than the predetermined rate in YES in S82 or the questionnaire result was found to be early in YES in S83. Is determined to have ended too early (for example, it is determined that the course content that constitutes the course is too heavy), the determination is automatically sent to the president by e-mail, and the president sends a notice to the lecturer 3 (prompt) It is possible to call attention to the way of lecturer 3 and its contents.

  In FIG. 4C, S91 determines whether the student is a selected student. This is determined at the time of admission to the school if it is a student who was selected as an academic excellence and entered. If YES, the process proceeds to S95. If NO, the process proceeds to S92.

  In S92, it is determined whether the student is an excellent student. This is to determine if the student has an excellent grade after entering school. If YES, the process proceeds to S95. If NO, the process proceeds to S93.

  In S93, it is determined whether the student is a recommended student. This is determined as a recommended student such as a professor. If YES, the process proceeds to S95. If NO, the process proceeds to S94.

  In S94, it is determined whether the student special skill is close to the range of the lecture content. This determines whether the special skills possessed by the student are close to the scope of the lecture content lectured by the current lecturer. If YES, the process proceeds to S95. In the case of NO, it is determined as a non-target person who takes the course.

  In S95, it is determined that the person is an attendee (with a lecture application qualification).

  As described above, when the instructor 3 is in the Nobel Prize, not all students in the school are eligible for the course, but give excellent students priority to take the course. It is possible to increase the possibility of selecting a school that adopts the system and to improve the appeal of the school that adopts the system.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart (part 4) for explaining the operation of the present invention.

  In FIG. 5, the student reads the ID card from the reader in S101. When the student 4 enters or exits the classroom, the student ID is read by holding the ID card 41, and the start date / time and the end date / time are acquired and notified to the server 1.

  S102 causes the reader to read the start and end of the lecturer ID card. Then, the server 1 is notified.

  In step S103, it is determined whether the server 1 is an ID card read. If YES, the process proceeds to S104. If NO, repeat step S103 to wait.

  In S104, it is determined whether it is a student ID. This determines whether the read ID is a student ID. If YES, the process proceeds to S105. If NO, the process proceeds to S107.

  In S105, since the student ID is determined in S104, it is further determined whether it is a registered student ID. In the case of YES, since it is determined that the student ID of the subject to attend the course, the attendance time of the student is added (accumulated) and stored in S106. On the other hand, in the case of NO, it is determined that the student is not a student (registered student) attending the course, so the process ends without adding (accumulating) to the student attending time.

  S107 discriminate | determines whether it is lecturer ID. If YES, the start date and time and end date and time are stored (cumulative) in S108. On the other hand, if NO, the process ends.
