Description

  The present invention relates to a work management system using position information.

  In recent years, overtime work by employees has become a problem. Conventionally, the start or end of work has been recorded by an employee contacting a card or the like with a reader installed at a predetermined place. In such a mechanism, since the employee side performs recording by voluntary actions such as bringing the card into contact with the reader, it is possible to perform recording and recording by deliberately operating the time at which contact is lost due to forgetting to contact. Deviation from the actual working time may occur. In addition, even during work, since it is not possible to accurately grasp the time such as leaving or taking a break, there has been a problem that there is a difference between the actual working time and the declared working time.

JP 2008-269452 A

  The technique of Patent Document 1 can detect whether an employee is sitting or away from a seat by using a system that reads RFID carried by the employee and vibration of the chair. By using this technique, it is possible to create a work record by specifying an employee's seat leaving without depending on the employee's voluntary action such as contacting the card with a reader.

  However, the detection place is limited to the place where the chair is used, and the place where the RFID reader can be arranged is also limited. The reason why a large number of RFID readers as well as chairs are distributed in the workplace is because of the high cost burden.

  In response to such a problem, the present invention arranges a number of short-distance wireless status information transmission devices, such as beacon transmission devices, in the workplace, and status information such as position, during work, out of work The role of transmitting such information to the server device is left to a user portable terminal such as a smartphone carried by the employee. That is, the status information is received by the smartphone from the beacon transmission device, and the smartphone or the like transfers the information to the server. Therefore, the communication equipment cost for the server can be minimized. The status information is periodically and repeatedly transmitted, and a smartphone or the like that receives the status information is configured to automatically transfer this information to the server. Therefore, the user who is an employee does not need to consciously perform the transfer process. In other words, there is no problem of forgetting to record during work or out of work. Smartphones may be provided to employees, but it is possible to install programs on employees' private smartphones and use them, so costs can be reduced in this respect (users pay smartphone usage fees to employees) That may be necessary.)

The present invention should not be limited to these examples, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the present invention.

<Overview>

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of processing of the work management system of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, a status information transmission device such as a beacon that emits radio waves by a short-range wireless system is installed in the office. There are two types of status information transmission devices installed, one is installed in the work space where work is performed (0101 etc.), and the other is installed in smoking / rest space outside work. (Such as 0102). Each of these status information transmission devices transmits an ON signal indicating a state of being in work or an OFF signal indicating a state of being out of work. The status information transmitting device installed in the office space transmits an ON signal, and the status information transmitting devices installed in other smoking / resting spaces transmit an OFF signal. In other words, a status information transmission device that transmits an ON signal is installed in a space where work is performed, and a status information transmission device that transmits an OFF signal is installed in a space where activities are performed outside work.

  The radio wave transmitted from the status information transmitting device is received by a user portable terminal such as a smartphone possessed by an employee or the like. Status information including an ON signal or an OFF signal included in the received radio wave is transmitted from the user portable terminal to the work management server through the network. The transmitted information is stored in the work management server.

  Below, the function of the work management system of a present Example, the flow of a process, and the content of hardware are demonstrated in detail. Note that the functional blocks of the system described below can be realized as a combination of hardware and software. Specifically, if a computer is used, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a main memory, a bus, or a secondary storage device (a storage medium such as a hard disk drive, a non-volatile memory, a CD, a DVD, and the like) Read drive, etc.), input devices used for information input, printing equipment and display devices, other hardware components such as external peripheral devices, and interfaces for external peripheral devices, communication interfaces, and control these hardware For example, a driver program, other application programs, and a user interface application. Then, by CPU processing according to a program developed on the main memory, data input from an input device or other interface and held in the memory or hard disk is processed and stored, An instruction for controlling the software is generated. Alternatively, the functional blocks of this system may be realized by dedicated hardware.

  The present invention can be realized not only as a system but also as a method. A part of the invention can be configured as software. Furthermore, a program used for causing a computer to execute such software and a recording medium on which the program is fixed are naturally included in the technical scope of the present invention (the same applies throughout this specification).

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the work management system according to the present embodiment. The work management system according to the present embodiment includes a “status information transmission device” (0201), a “user portable terminal” (0202), and a “work management server” (0203). The “status information transmission device” (0201) includes a “status information transmission unit” (0204). The “user portable terminal” (0202) includes a “status information receiving unit” (0205) and a “status information transfer unit” (0206). The “work management server” (0203) includes a “status information transfer receiving unit” (0207), a “reception status holding unit” (0208), and a “result status holding unit” (0209).

  The “status information transmitting device” (0201) is installed in the office and transmits an ON signal or an OFF signal indicating that the user is working or not working. The device corresponds to a stationary radio beacon device or the like. Since this beacon device is small and light and operates with a battery, no wiring is required, and since the beacon device operates with low power, the battery can operate without replacement for more than one year. The ON signal or the OFF signal is configured to be transmitted periodically and repeatedly. The transmission cycle is preferably 1 Hz or more. The output can be low power and a few milliwatts. Therefore, the battery can be operated for more than one year without replacement. The effective transmission range may be about 1 to 5 meters. This is because the resolution of the reception position decreases when the range becomes too wide. Furthermore, the effective transmission range may be directional, not omnidirectional. For example, in a workplace where work desks are dense, it is conceivable that an ON signal is transmitted toward the chair and not transmitted to the opposite side. In this way, an ON signal that identifies the work desk can be used. It is desirable to install multiple devices. By installing a plurality, it is possible to detect a position transition accompanying the movement of an employee or the like. The status information transmitter is installed at work desks, doorways, corridors, conference rooms, entrances, reception areas, smoking areas, rest areas, cafeterias, clinics, toilets, bathrooms, shower rooms, hot water supply rooms, warehouses, library rooms, and elevators. It is preferable to prepare in various places of the business place such as halls, escalator halls, and stairs. In addition to the above when installing in a hospital instead of a workplace, in addition to the above, in the case of installing in a school such as an examination room, office desk, hospital room, treatment room, nurse station, examination room, X-ray room, etc. In addition to the above when installing in a theme park, such as desks, teachers, hallways, gymnasiums, staff rooms, schoolyards, attractions, ticket booths, shops, restaurants, etc. Ticket gates, homes, ticket vending machines, windows, etc. in addition to the above when installing at airports, baggage inspection areas, counters, boarding gates, immigration counters, duty-free shops, etc. When installing in a department store such as a boarding point, it is desirable to install in various places such as each sales floor, cash register, ATM, etc.

  The “user portable terminal” (0202) is possessed by an employee or the like, and receives status information by radio waves from the status information transmitting device (0201). The received status information is transferred to the work management server (0203) via a network such as the Internet or a local wireless LAN. The terminal corresponds to a smartphone or the like.

  The “work management server” (0203) receives status information from the user portable terminal and holds it as an acceptance status. Based on the reception status, a result status that is final work management data is determined and held in the storage area. The held result status is used as work information. The work management server (0203) reflects the user's habits and searches the presence / absence of an already learned pattern for which the status should be switched forcibly during work (ON) or out of work (OFF). You may have a function to notify an application of a portable terminal (0202). This “status change” may be not only (ON → OFF) and (OFF → ON) but also (ON → ON) and (OFF → OFF). That is, in principle, only the (time) (position) (status) is sent by the application of the user portable terminal (0202) triggered by a signal from each status information transmission device (0201). The (status) signal on the axis is (ON) (ON) (N / A) (ON) (N / A) (OFF) (OFF) (ON) (OFF). Will be notified. The work management server (0203) may provide the user with addition / modification / deletion of the status from the web as a function (described later). For this reason, the reception status accumulated in the work management server (0203) is notified and accumulated from other than “application of user portable terminal”.

  The work management server (0203) determines whether a certain time point is working (ON) or not working (OFF) by judging the following rules. Start off at the beginning of the day. Force off at the end of the day. “Pattern to be turned ON” and “Pattern to be turned OFF” are learned by repeating “specific position, time, manual transmission by user” and “user approval”. OFF for non-working areas over a certain period of time (in the case of 0 seconds, it will be OFF immediately after entering the range) (For example, if the toilet is within 3 minutes, OK or if smoking is within 5 minutes, a rule based on the agreement between labor and management is set. it can.). In addition, (location) may work outside the office, such as sales or customer visits. In this case, the user sends a user intention to the work management server (0203) through the application of the user portable terminal (0202) by pressing a button of the work management server change or / and update kick device (described later) such as a portable beacon. The status of whether the work management server (0203) is working (ON) or not working (OFF) can be changed. In addition, the user mobile terminal (0202) uses the GPS to register the customer repeatedly visiting in advance as a “work location” in the work management server (0203) using the geofence (GPS range coordinates). The work management server (0203) can know that it has entered. However, it is not necessary to always start up the app for that purpose, and the location information is processed in the background by a signal automatically sent from the work management server change or / and update kick device such as a portable beacon at regular intervals. Then, it is only necessary to notify the work management server (0203) of the entry / exit to the geofence. Thereby, data can be accumulated even for work in a place where there is no status information transmission device (0201) such as an installed beacon, and a learning pattern can also be constructed.

  The “status information sending part” (0204) is provided in a work place or a place outside the work that is used to obtain a status during work or out of work in at least the work management server (0203) by the short-range wireless method. It has a function of transmitting status information including a signal or an OFF signal. The “near field wireless system” includes various types using a wireless LAN standard, those using infrared rays, Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC, and the like. “During work” is the time during which the employee is actually engaged in work. “Out of work” refers to the time temporarily away from work such as breaks during and outside working hours. The “status information” is information including a binary representation of “ON” during work and “OFF” outside work. FIG. 3A shows an example of the status information transmitting apparatus expressing the status information. As shown in this figure, the status information takes a value of 1 or 0 as the status (in the status tag). FIG. 3A shows a status value of 0 because it is information transmitted by a status information transmission device installed at a break place. In addition, the status information may include location information, geographical information, and the like such as a transmission time and a beacon ID (inside an ID tag in a beacon tag) that is an ID of a status information transmission device as shown in the figure. The beacon ID may be associated with the position information in the management server. The transmission of status information can be executed periodically at regular time intervals or whenever the user portable terminal enters the communicable area of the status information transmission device. The transmission may be a non-connection type broadcast or a connection type communication, but the broadcast is more desirable in consideration of the high processing speed and the small load. The transmitted status information is received by a later-described status information receiving unit (0205) of the user portable terminal (0202). The function of this unit is realized by the status information transmission device CPU, RAM, ROM, radio unit, and status information transmission program stored in the ROM.

  The “status information receiving unit” (0205) has a function of receiving status information from the status information transmitting device in the user portable terminal (0202). The received status information is sent to a status information transfer unit (0206) described later. The functions of this unit are the wireless unit of the user portable terminal, the CPU, the RAM, the storage area that is a nonvolatile storage area, the status information that is stored in the storage area, loaded onto the RAM, and executed by the CPU Realized by a receiving program.

  The “status information transfer unit” (0206) has a function of transferring the received status information to the work management server (0203) in the user portable terminal (0202). Specifically, the status information is received from the status information receiving unit (0205), and is transmitted to the status information transfer receiving unit (0207) in the work management server (0203) described later. FIG. 3B shows an example of status information to be transferred. As shown in this figure, the status information transmission device ID, the value of 0 or 1 indicating the status, the transfer time (in the time tag), and the like are included. In addition, GPS coordinate information or the like may be included as a value indicating the user ID or position. The value in the GPS tag in FIG. 3B is a null value, because the GPS signal could not be captured because the user portable terminal is in the office. The function of this unit is realized by a wireless unit of the user portable terminal, a CPU, a RAM, a storage, a status information transfer program stored in the storage, loaded onto the RAM and executed by the CPU.

  The above-described status information reception program and status information transfer program may operate as an application in the user portable terminal, or may operate in the background at the OS level installed in the user portable terminal. It is desirable that the background operation eliminates the need for an application startup operation when receiving status information, and can prevent missing records due to forgetting to start the application. In addition, since the status information can be received even when the user portable terminal is in the sleep state, it is desirable to operate in the background. Note that it is also possible to start the application with the reception of status information in the background as a trigger and receive a notification from the work management server.

  The “status information transfer receiving unit” (0207) has a function of receiving status information transfer in the work management server (0203). Specifically, status information transferred in the user portable terminal is received by the work management server via the network. The received status information is sent to an acceptance status holding unit (0208) described later. The function of this department is realized by the CPU of the work management server, the network I / F, the RAM, the storage, and the status information transfer / reception program that is stored in the storage, loaded onto the RAM, and executed by the CPU.

  The “reception status holding unit” (0208) has a function of holding the reception status of whether the user who is the user of the user portable terminal is working or not working based on the received status information. . Specifically, status information is received from the status information transfer receiving unit (0207), and held in the storage area as an acceptance status. “Reception status” is a cumulative status information. FIG. 4 is a diagram for showing the reception status. In the figure, among the received reception statuses, the reception status whose user ID is “0012” is displayed. As shown in this figure, the reception status includes time (the status information transmission time and transfer time, transfer reception time, etc.), the user ID, the beacon ID that is the ID of the status information transmission device, and the status. . The held reception status is called to determine whether the work management server is working or not working, and is held as a result status in a result status holding unit (0209) described later. The functions of this department are realized by the CPU, RAM, and storage of the work management server.

  The “result status holding unit” (0209) holds a result status that is a status in which it is determined whether the user who is the user of the user portable terminal is working or out of work based on the received reception status. It has a function. Based on the reception status, work data that is finally held as a result status is generated and stored in the storage area. FIG. 5 is an example of a result status determination screen for determining whether the user is working or out of work and generating a result status. The data displayed on this screen is based on the reception status held in the reception status holding unit. Referring to the reception status in FIG. 4, the user portable terminal of the user 0012 received a radio wave from a beacon (ID: 0x02) in the office at 8: 50: 0 on January 13, 2017. The status is changed from 0 to 1 by this radio wave reception (0401). That is, it can be seen that the user 0012 has been working at 8:50. After that, status information is received from multiple beacons in the same office. Here, the configuration may be such that status information is received from a plurality of beacons at once (0402). As shown in FIG. 5, in the result status determination screen, when the status does not change from the previous status reception, the display is omitted, and only the reception status when the status changes is displayed. Further, it is possible to set a threshold for setting so that the status is not considered to be changed unless a certain time elapses after the status is changed. For example, when the threshold is 5 minutes, referring to FIG. 4, the user 0012 receives status information 0 from a beacon (ID: 0x41) installed in the toilet at 9:15:30. From this, it is understood that the user 0012 has gone to the toilet, and is temporarily out of work. However, since the status information 1 is received from the beacon (ID: 0x02) in the office at 9: 19: 0 (0403), the time when the status becomes 0 is 3 minutes 30 seconds, which is the threshold value 5 Less than a minute. For this reason, although it is temporarily out of work, the time is short, so that the status change is not displayed on the result status determination screen. On the other hand, the status 0 was received from the beacon (ID: 0x24) installed in the smoking room at 10:15:30, and the next time the status became 1 was 10: 35: 0 0404). Here, the time when the job is out of work, that is, status 0 is 19 minutes 30 seconds, and thus exceeds the threshold value of 5 minutes. Therefore, it is considered that the status is changed, and the status information before and after the change is also displayed on the result status determination screen of FIG. As a result, it can be seen that the user 0012 has been out of work for more than 5 minutes and has taken a break during working hours.

  Note that the status information accumulated in these reception statuses may be able to be forcibly changed on the work management server side at least with respect to time and status and held as a result status. That is, the work management server obtains a result status forced change information acquisition unit (not shown) that acquires result status forced change information that is information for forcibly changing the result status, and based on the acquired result status forced change information. And a result status forced change unit (not shown) for changing the result status. Finally, the result status can be determined by pressing the approval button or the like in FIG. 5, and the data is stored in the storage area as work data. The functions of this department are realized by the CPU, RAM, U / I, storage, etc. of the work management server.

<Process flow>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart for illustrating an example of a processing flow when the work management system according to the present embodiment is used. First, status information is transmitted in the status information transmitting device (step S0601). Next, status information is received at the user portable terminal (step S0602). The status information is transferred (step S0603) and received at the work management server (step S0604). The received status information is stored in the storage area as an acceptance status (step S0605). Finally, it is determined whether the user is working or not based on the reception status, and the result status is stored in the storage area (step S0606).

<Hardware configuration>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the work management system according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to this figure.

  As shown in this figure, the work management system according to the present embodiment is composed of a status information transmission device, a user portable terminal, and a work management server, and performs various arithmetic processes on each of them, a “CPU (central processing unit)”. (0701, 0706, 0712) and “RAM” (0703, 0708, 0714) which is a volatile storage medium. The status information transmission device has a “ROM” (0702) that is a nonvolatile storage medium, and the user portable terminal and the work management server similarly have a “storage” such as a flash memory or HDD that is a nonvolatile storage medium. (0707, 0713). The status information transmission device and the user portable terminal have “wireless units” (0704, 0709), and the work management server has “network I / F” (0715). Further, the user portable terminal and the work management server have “U / I” (0710, 0716) such as a keyboard, a mouse, a display, and a touch panel. Then, they are connected to each other via a data communication path such as a “system bus” (0705, 0711, 0717) and perform transmission / reception and processing of information.

  In addition, the “RAM” (0703, 0708, 0714) reads a program for performing various processes to be executed by the “CPU” (0701, 0706, 0712), and at the same time provides a work area which is also a work area of the program. . In addition, a plurality of addresses are assigned to each of the “RAM” (0703, 0708, 0714), and a program executed by the “CPU” (0701, 0706, 0712) specifies and accesses the address. Thus, it is possible to exchange data with each other and perform processing (the same applies throughout this specification).

  First, in the status information transmission device, the status information transmission program stored in the ROM (0702) is expanded on the RAM (0703) and executed by the CPU (0701). The program transmits the ID value of the status information transmission device stored in the RAM (0703) and the status value that takes a binary value of 0 or 1 as status information via the wireless unit (0704).

That is, learning is completed with a work start time of 9:00 am. When learning is completed, the rules are held in this department. At 9 o'clock in the morning, even if the status information is not received from the status information transmission device (2101), the result status of the work management server is shifted to the work status. Do. The functions of this unit are realized by a CPU and storage such as a RAM and an HDD.

  The result status determination rule held above is one of time, geographical information, location information, calendar information, operating status of devices used for work, status information transmission device identification information, user identification information, user schedule information It may be a rule for considering one or more visiting information. Regarding the time, for work that can be performed only in the work room during the closed time, even if the signal from the user portable terminal is an ON signal, the result status may be turned off. With regard to geographical information, it is conceivable that the result status is turned OFF when the signal from the user portable terminal is an ON signal even though the geographical information is overseas for work that can only be done in Japan. For location information, if the construction site is specified and the location information is outside the construction site, the result status is turned off if the signal from the mobile phone is on for the job. Can be considered. Regarding the calendar information, even if the public office is a holiday, the result status may be OFF even if the signal from the user portable terminal is ON for the work that must be taken to the public office. Regarding the operating status of the device used for work, for example, the result status may be turned OFF even if the signal from the user portable terminal for work that cannot be done without using a dedicated server is an ON signal. Regarding the status information transmitter identification information, the installation location can be known from the identification information, and in the case of a toilet, the result status may be turned OFF even if the signal from the user portable terminal is an ON signal. It is done. If the user identification information is the identification information of a night worker at the factory, the result status may be turned OFF even if the signal from the user portable terminal is an ON signal in the daytime. With regard to the user schedule information, it is conceivable that the result status is turned off when the signal from the user portable terminal is an ON signal in spite of the vacation application date.

  The “result status determination unit” (2125) has a function of determining the result status using the held reception status and the result status determination rule. With reference to the reception status held in the reception status holding unit (2108) and the result status determination rule held in the result status determination rule holding unit (2124), the reception status is used as a conditional clause and is used for determination processing. Select and execute the resulting status determination rule. As a result, status information accumulated in the result status is generated, and a “result status recording unit” (2126) described later is expanded on the CPU, storage such as RAM and HDD, and the RAM. This is realized by a result status determination program executed in the above.

  The “result status recording unit” (2126) has a function of recording the determined result status in the result status holding unit (2109). Status information for accumulating in the result status is received from the “result status determination unit” (2125), and is output to the result status holding unit (2109). The functions of this unit are realized by a CPU, storage such as RAM and HDD, and a result status recording program that is executed on the RAM and executed by the CPU.

  The work management server (2103) of the present embodiment may have a “visit information acquisition unit” (2127). This department acquires reference information that is at least one of time, geographical information, location information, calendar information, operating status of devices used for work, status information transmission device identification information, user identification information, and user schedule information. It has a function. The acquired participation information is output to the “result status determination rule holding unit” (2124) and used to generate a conditional clause of the result status determination rule. The functions of this unit are realized by a CPU, a storage such as a RAM and an HDD, and a participation information acquisition program that is expanded on the RAM and executed by the CPU.
