  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, the hardware configuration of the man-hour calculation device of the embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a man-hour calculating apparatus according to the embodiment. The hardware of the man-hour calculation apparatus 1 of the embodiment is realized by a computer, and includes a processor 11, a storage unit 12, an input device 16, and an output device 17.

  The processor 11 implements the function of the man-hour calculating device 1 by operating according to the program and data stored in the storage unit 12. Further, the processor 11 measures time. The input device 16 is a device that detects an operation by the user and passes it to the processor 11, and is a pointing device, a keyboard, or the like. The output device 17 is a device that displays information passed from the processor 11, and is a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like. In this example, the storage device is the storage unit 12. In this example, the screen is the output device 17.

  The storage unit 12 further stores a man-hour policy 71 and a blank period policy 72 defined in advance.

  Next, the functional configuration of the man-hour calculation device 1 will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the man-hour calculating apparatus according to the embodiment. The function of the man-hour calculating device 1 according to the embodiment includes an object management unit 31, applications 32a and 32b, and a man-hour calculating unit 33.

  The object management unit 31 passes input information indicating the operation of the input device 16 by the user to the applications 32a and 32b, and causes the output device 17 to display the output information passed from the applications 32a and 32b. Further, the object management unit 31 is executed together with the activation of the man-hour calculation device 1. The object management unit 31 is an operating system, a window manager, or the like.

  The object management unit 31 assigns an object to each of the files opened by the applications 32a and 32b. In this example, the object is a window object displayed on the screen of the output device 17. The object management unit 31 manages the state of the object, such as whether or not the object is active. Further, the object management unit 31 generates an operation event indicating that the input device 16 has been operated based on the input information. In addition, the object management unit 31 generates an access event indicating that a file is accessed by the applications 32a and 32b. In addition, the object management unit 31 passes the time measured by the processor 11 to the man-hour calculation unit 33.

  The applications 32 a and 32 b perform processing using the input information from the object management unit 31, generate output information based on the processing result, and pass it to the object management unit 31. The applications 32 a and 32 b edit the file using the object assigned by the object management unit 31 and write it in the storage unit 12. The applications 32 a and 32 b read the file from the storage unit 12 using the object assigned by the object management unit 31 corresponding to the file stored in the storage unit 12.

  Next, the operation of the manhour calculation unit 33 will be described. The manhour calculation unit 33 includes a recording unit 40, an acquisition unit 41, and a data generation unit 42. In this example, the calculation unit is the data generation unit 42.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the man-hour calculation unit 33. In the man-hour calculation device 1, it is assumed that the object management unit 31 and the applications 32a and 32b are operating. At this time, the recording unit 40 performs access information indicating access to the file group, an object identifier indicating an active object on the screen of the output device 17 among the object group corresponding to the file group, and an operation of the input device 16. The operation time that is the time of the change is recorded as the operation log 61 (S12).

  S12 will be described in detail below. The recording unit 40 monitors events by the object management unit 31. When the object management unit 31 generates an event, the recording unit 40 acquires event information regarding the event from the object management unit 31, generates an entry of the operation log 61 based on the event information, and records it in the storage unit 12.

  When the event is an access event, the event information includes access information indicating access and an object identifier. The access information includes a file identifier indicating the accessed file and access contents. In this example, the file identifier includes a path name and a file name of the file. In this example, the access contents indicate file open processing and close processing. When the event is an operation event, the event information includes an operation time that is a time when the operation event occurs and an object identifier. The object identifier indicates the active object when the event occurs.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the contents of the operation log 61. The operation log 61 has an entry for each event. The operation log 61 includes, as fields, an object identifier, an open time, an operation time, a close time, and a file identifier.

  When an access event indicating an open process occurs, the recording unit 40 includes the open time, which is the occurrence time of the event, and the file identifier of the file subjected to the open process in the entry of the operation log 61. When an access event indicating the close process occurs, the recording unit 40 includes the close time as the occurrence time of the event and the file identifier of the file subjected to the close process in the entry of the operation log 61. When an operation event occurs, the recording unit 40 includes the operation time, which is the occurrence time of the event, in the operation log 61 entry. In this example, the access information includes an open time, a close time, and a file identifier. The object identifier and the file identifier are associated with each other by the entry of the operation log 61 when the access event occurs.

  Next, the acquisition unit 41 acquires a man-hour policy 71 for designating a file group from the storage unit 12 (S14). In this example, a certain file group is a plurality of files belonging to a certain process of a certain product number (product management number) relating to a product. A product indicated by one production number is produced by at least one predefined process (phase). In this example, the file group information is a man-hour policy 71.

  S14 will be described in detail below. When the user inputs a target period, which is a past period for which the man-hour is calculated, using the input device 16, the acquisition unit 41 acquires the man-hour policy 71 stored in the storage unit 12.

  FIG. 5 shows the contents of the man-hour policy 71. In this example, the man-hour policy 71 has a production number, a process name, and a file group identifier for each file group. In this example, the file group identifier is a path name indicating a directory in which the file group is placed. In this example, the user places a group of files belonging to a certain process with a certain production number in the same directory according to a predefined rule. Thereby, the acquisition unit 71 recognizes files in each file group.

  The file group identifier may be an identifier included in the data of each file in the file group. In this case, the file group identifier is, for example, text indicating a production number and a process. In this case, the acquisition unit 41 recognizes the file group to which the file belongs based on the file group identifier included in each of the plurality of files stored in the storage unit 12. Each file name in the file group may include a file group identifier.

  Further, the user may register each file name in the file group in the man-hour policy 71. In this case, the acquisition unit 71 recognizes files in each file group based on the file name indicated in the man-hour policy 71.

  Next, the data generation unit 42, based on the access information, the object identifier, the operation time, and the man-hour policy 71, an active period in which an object corresponding to a certain file group is active and a period between the operation times The blank period, which is a period having a length equal to or greater than the threshold, is detected, and the man-hour of the file group is calculated by removing the blank period from the active period (S16), and this flow is terminated. In this example, the first period is an active period of the file group. In this example, the second period is a blank period.

  S16 will be described in detail below. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the data generation unit 42. The data generation unit 42 includes a man-hour data generation unit 53 and a man-hour total data generation unit 54.

  First, the man-hour data generation unit 53 acquires the target period input by the user from the object management unit 31. The target period is represented by, for example, a start date and time and an end date and time. Next, the manhour data generation unit 53 detects an entry including the file identifier of each file in the file group recognized by the acquisition unit 41 from the operation log 61, and acquires the file identifier and the corresponding object identifier from the entry. To do. Next, the man-hour data generation unit 53 reads the entry including the acquired object identifier and the operation time within the target period from the storage unit 12 and sets it as the target entry (S22).

  Next, the manhour data generation unit 53 determines a time threshold value based on the blank period policy 72 stored in the storage unit 12 and the file identifier in the target entry (S24).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the contents of the blank period policy 72. The blank period policy 72 defines a time threshold value [minutes] for each file type. In this example, the file type is an extension included in the file name, and is associated with the applications 32a and 32b that create the file. In this example, the time threshold of the document creation application (extension doc, xls, ppt), the time threshold of the program development application is 30 minutes, and the time threshold of the mail editing application (extension msg) is 10. Defined as minutes. Thereby, the manhour data generation unit 53 recognizes the file type based on each file identifier in the target entry, and selects a time threshold value corresponding to the file type.

  The blank period policy 72 may define a time threshold value for each process. In this case, the man-hour data generation unit 53 recognizes a process corresponding to the file identifier in the target entry based on the man-hour policy 71, and selects a time threshold corresponding to the process.

  Next, the man-hour data generation unit 53 calculates a difference time between two operation times among the operation times in the target entry, and the difference time is a period having a length equal to or longer than a time threshold value. A blank period is detected (S26). That is, the blank period is a period in which the operation of the input device 16 is not performed for a time equal to or greater than the time threshold. Here, the man-hour data generating unit 53 uses the time threshold value selected using the previous entry of the two entries.

  Next, the manhour data generation unit 53 detects a period in which the object corresponding to each file in the file group is active based on the object identifier and the file identifier in the target entry, and sets the active period of the file ( S32). Here, the manhour data generating unit 53 sets a period in which the same object identifiers are continuous as an active period of a file corresponding to the object identifier. In this example, the third period is an active period of each file in the file group.

  Next, the man-hour data generation unit 53 detects the actual work period obtained by removing the blank period from the active period for each file in the file group, and the man-hour of each file in the file group is determined by setting the length of the actual work period as a man-hour. Is calculated. Next, the man-hour data generating unit 53 generates man-hour data 81 including the man-hours of each file in the file group and writes the man-hour data 81 to the storage unit 12 (S34).

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the man-hours of the file. Indicates a case where a blank period exists in the active period of the target file. This figure shows the active period, operation event, blank period, and actual work period of the target file on the time axis. The work start time is the start time of the active period. The work end time is the end time of the active period. When the work is an existing file, the work start time is the open time of the file, and the work end time is the close time of the file. The working time is the length of the active period. The working blank time is the length of the blank period. The man-hour data generation unit 53 sets the period of the active period excluding the blank period as the actual work period, and sets the length as the man-hour of the target file. That is, the man-hour of a file is the work time of the file-work blank time.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the contents of the manhour data 81. The man-hour data 81 includes a file name, a work start time, a work end time, a work time [hour], a work blank time [hour], a man-hour [hour], a production number, and a process name for each file. For each file, the manhour data generating unit 53 includes the file name in the file identifier, the work start time, the work end time, the work time, and the work blank time in the manhour data 81. In addition, the man-hour data generation unit 53 includes the manufacturing number and process name recognized based on the man-hour policy 71 in the man-hour data 81 for each file.

  Next, the man-hour totaling data generating unit 54 acquires the man-hour data 81 of each file of the file group stored in the storage unit 12, and calculates the man-hour of the file group by totaling the man-hours of each file of the file group. Then, the man-hour totaling data 82 including the man-hours of the file group is generated and written to the storage unit 12 (S36), and this flow is finished.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the contents of the first man-hour totaling data 82. The man-hour totaling data 82 includes a production number, a process name, and a man-hour [time] for each file group. The man-hour totaling data generation unit 54 includes, for each file group, the manufacturing number and process name indicated in the man-hour policy 71 in the man-hour totaling data 82.

  The man-hour totaling data generation unit 54 may total man-hours for each date within the target period, or may total man-hours for each product number. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the contents of the second man-hour totaling data 82. In this example, the target period is from September 1, 2010 to September 7. This man-hour total data 82 includes man-hours for each product number and for each date within the target period. The first line of the man-hour totaling data 82 indicates the date, and the second line indicates the day of the week. Also, among the man-hours indicated on the right side of the target product number, the first row is a value [time] obtained by totaling the man-hours of the corresponding date among the man-hours of the target product number, and the second row is It is a value [time] obtained by accumulating the man-hours of the target product number from the start of the target period to the corresponding date.

  Note that the data generation unit 42 may use entries having all object identifiers corresponding to files in the file group as the active period of the file group. In this case, the data generation unit 42 detects the actual work period of the file group by removing the blank period from the active period of the file group, generates the man-hour totaling data 82 with the length of the actual work period as the man-hour of the file group. You may do it.

  According to this embodiment, even when operations of a plurality of files are performed in parallel, an accurate man-hour is calculated by detecting a period in which an object corresponding to the plurality of files is active. be able to. In addition, an accurate man-hour can be calculated by detecting a period during which no operation is performed for a certain period of time and removing it from the man-hour. In addition, the man-hours of the file group associated with the production number, process, etc. can be totaled.

  A man-hour calculation program for causing the processor 11 to execute the function of the man-hour calculation unit 33 may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium. This computer-readable recording medium includes a disk and a semiconductor memory. The form includes a storage unit 12 provided inside the man-hour calculating device 1, a storage device provided outside the man-hour calculating device 1, a portable recording medium, and a storage device of another man-hour calculating device. Further, when the portable recording medium stores a man-hour calculating program and the man-hour calculating device 1 has a reading device for the portable recording medium, the man-hour calculating device 1 may read the man-hour calculating program from this recording medium.
