FIG. 3 is a diagram showing how group members' attendance information is displayed on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A of the presence management system 100 according to the embodiment.

The presence management system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, includes a first user terminal 110A and a second user terminal 120 as user terminals, and a server 130, as shown in FIG.
It is also provided to display the user's presence information.
Specifically, the first user terminal 110A communicates with the server 130 as an http request and transmits user information to the server 130.

Then, the first user terminal 110A receives data from the server 130 as an http response and displays the presence management screen 113 having the seat layout 114a available to the user based on the database 131 of the server 130.
Then, when the first user performs a seat selection operation, the first user terminal 110A transmits the seat information on which the selection operation was performed to the server 130.
Then, the server 130 is configured to associate the selected seat on the presence management screen 113 with the user information and register it in the database 131 based on the user information and seat information received from the first user terminal 110A. .

As a result, when the first user selects a seat on the presence management screen 113 displayed on the first user terminal 110A in an office that uses a free address system, the user information of the first user is registered in the selected seat. .
As a result, even in an office with free address system where seats are not fixed, the first user and other users (secondary users) can easily know who is using which seat and who is using which seat. can be grasped.
That is, when the presence management screen 123 is displayed on the second user terminal 120, the seat selected by the first user is displayed together with the first user's user information in the seat layout 124a (see FIG. 1) of the presence management screen 123. be done.
As a result, the second user can easily know the seat of the first user.

Next, an example of the operation of the presence management system 100 will be described in more detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, in step S1, as a presence management screen display step, the first user terminal 110A or the server 130 determines whether an access operation to the server 130 has been performed on the first user terminal 110A.
Specifically, when the first user terminal 110A logs into the presence management system 100 by inputting user information such as a user ID and password as the user identification information of the first user, the first user terminal 110A , the first user terminal 110A or the server 130 determines whether the user has accessed the server 130 by communicating with the server 130 and transmitting user information to the server 130 as an http request.
If it is determined that the access has been made, the process proceeds to step S2; on the other hand, if it is determined that the access has not been made yet, step S1 is repeated.
Note that although the configuration has been described as an example in which user information is sent to the server 130 when logging in, a login operation may not be required.
For example, the first user terminal 110A is installed as a so-called tablet-type user shared terminal at the entrance of an office with a free address system, and when each user enters the room, each user can use the first user terminal 110A to You can simply enter user information such as the user's name and user ID, or select from a user list.

In step S2, as shown in FIG. 3, as a presence management screen display step, the browser 112 of the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110A receives data from the server 130 as an http response, and stores the data in the database 131 of the server 130. Based on this, the presence management screen 113 having a seat layout 114a available to the user is displayed.
The presence management screen 113 displays status information ST of each user registered in advance and a seat layout 114a.

Each user is, for example, an employee of the company, and the status of each user, such as presence, absence, lunch, out, customer service, meeting, leaving, etc., is displayed on the presence management screen 113. Information ST is displayed.
Further, in the seat layout 114a, the user information is displayed for the seats in use, while the user information is not displayed for the vacant seats, and the vacant seats can be selected freely. .

In step S3, as a seat selection determination step, the first user terminal 110A or the server 130 determines whether the user has performed a seat selection operation.
For example, assume that the first user, Emi Suzuki, selects a vacant seat with the cursor on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A.
If it is determined that a seat selection operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S4, whereas if it is determined that there are no seats yet, step S3 is repeated.

In step S4, as a seat information transmission step, the first user terminal 110A transmits the seat information on which the selection operation was made to the server 130.
In step S5, as a seat registration step, the server 130 associates the selected seat on the presence management screen 113 with the user information based on the user information and seat information received from the first user terminal 110A, and creates a database in the server 130. Register at 131.

As a result, as described above, when the first user selects a seat on the presence management screen 113 displayed on the first user terminal 110A in an office that uses a free address system, the first user's seat will be displayed in the selected seat. Information is registered.
As a result, even in an office with free address system where seats are not fixed, the first user and other users (secondary users) can easily know who is using which seat and who is using which seat. can be grasped.
That is, when the presence management screen 123 is displayed on the second user terminal 120, the seat of "Emi Suzuki" is displayed in the same way as the seat layout 114a of the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A shown in FIG. .
As a result, the second user can easily know the seat of "Emi Suzuki."

In an office with a free address system, if an extension telephone is installed at each desk, the information about the extension telephone number and the user's seat are displayed in correspondence with each other on the presence management screen 113.
On the other hand, when each user uses the smartphone terminal as an extension phone or an outside phone, the phone number information and user name information are displayed in correspondence with each other on the presence management screen 113.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the presence management screen 113 has a seat layout 114b that corresponds to date and time zone information.
Specifically, for example, by operating the calendar icon 113a on the attendance management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A shown in FIG. 3, the date and time zone can be selected.
When a date and time zone is selected, a seat layout 114b corresponding to the selected date and time zone information is displayed on the presence management screen 113, as shown in FIG.
When the first user performs a date/time zone selection operation and a seat selection operation, the first user terminal 110A transmits the date/time zone information and seat information on which the selection operation was performed to the server 130.

Then, the server 130 associates the selected seat on the presence management screen 113 with the date and time zone information and the user information based on the user information, date and time zone information, and seat information received from the first user terminal 110A. It is configured to be registered in the database 131.
As a result, when the user performs a date/time zone selection operation and a seat selection operation in advance, date/time zone information and user information are registered in the selected seat.
As a result, users can easily pre-book seats in open-address offices.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(A), the presence management screen 113 includes a "seat random selection" button 115 as a seat selection button.
For example, when the first user comes to work at an office with a free address system, first, the first user uses the first user smartphone terminal 110B, which is an example of a user terminal, to send user information to the server 130 and log in to the presence management system 100. do.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, a "seat random selection" button 115 is displayed on the presence management screen 113 of the first user smartphone terminal 110B.
Since the status information ST on the presence management screen 113 of the first user smartphone terminal 110B remains yesterday's "Leaved from work," the first user selects "Presence (Attendance)" from the status button 116. Assume that the user operates the "Random Seat Selection" button 115 because the user cannot decide which seat to select.

Then, the first user smartphone terminal 110B transmits seat request information, which is a seat selection request, to the server 130 based on the operation of the "seat random selection" button 115.
Then, based on the seat request information and user information received from the first user smartphone terminal 110B and the previous seat history information in the history of the database 131 of the server 130, the server 130 determines that seats other than the previous seat are available. Select one seat at random from among the seats.
Subsequently, the server 130 is configured to associate the randomly selected seats on the attendance management screen 113 with user information and register them in the database 131.

As a result, when the user operates the "seat random selection" button 115, one seat is selected at random, as shown in FIG. 114a.
For example, the name "Emi Suzuki" is displayed as user information on the selected seat, and the message "This is today's seat!" is displayed to make it easier to understand which seat has been selected.
As a result, it is possible to avoid fixation of the seat to be used due to biased user preferences.
In other words, it is possible to avoid reverting to the traditional fixed seat system in an office with a free address system aimed at energizing employees.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(A), the presence management screen 113 is configured to display status information ST of presence, in a meeting, out of office, and leaving the office in a freely switchable manner. ing.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6(A), not only the position of the seat used by the user but also status information ST such as presence is displayed.
As a result, other users can easily know the status of the desired user, such as their presence.
In other words, even if you cannot see the presence status of the desired user at a glance in an office with a free address system, you can easily check the presence status of the desired user on the presence management screen 113. .

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B), the presence management screen 113 is provided with a notification switching icon 113b.
For example, if the second user "Ichiro Tanaka" is selected on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A shown in FIG. 6(A), "Tanaka The screen switches to the presence management screen 113 displaying the status information ST of "Ichiro".
As an example of an operation for setting a change notification to another user's presence status, it is assumed that the notification switching icon 113b is switched from off to on.

Then, the first user terminal 110A transmits to the server 130 a notification setting request regarding the status change of "Ichiro Tanaka".
Then, the server 130 sets and registers the user information and change notification setting information of "Ichiro Tanaka" as the predetermined user in the database 131 based on the notification setting request received from the first user terminal 110A.

For example, Ichiro Tanaka returns to the office after going out, and as shown in FIG. Suppose we did.
Then, the second user terminal 120 transmits status information ST of "present" to the server 130, and the server 130 registers "Ichiro Tanaka" and the "present" status in the database 131.

In this way, the status information ST is changed to the presence status set and registered in advance by input from the second user terminal 120 of Ichiro Tanaka as the predetermined user.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7B, the server 130 cooperates with the control unit of the first user terminal 110A to display a change to the presence status of the predetermined user on the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110A. As an example of this, the configuration is configured to pop up a pop-up window 117a containing information such as "Ichiro Tanaka's status has changed: out of office ->present."

As a result, if the target status information ST set by another second user's operation is changed to "Present" while the first user is working, the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110A will display the A pop-up window 117a containing information about the change in the presence status of the second user is displayed.
As a result, even if the first user is working on the first user terminal 110A, the user can easily and reliably know that the presence status of the second user has been changed immediately after the status is changed, and the target person can be immediately notified. It is possible to respond by going to the seat of a certain second user.
In particular, even in an office with a free address system, you can refer to the seat layout 114a on the attendance management screen 113 to confirm the other person's seat and proceed with your work by meeting directly.

Although the configuration has been described in which the pop-up window 117a is displayed as a pop-up on the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110A, the server 130 sends a message to the first user smartphone terminal 110B by a so-called push notification to notify the second user, who is a predetermined user. It may be configured to notify information of a change to the presence status.
For push notifications, an e-mail app, a chat app, etc. may be used.
Further, the configuration may be such that the second user is notified that the first user has set a notification setting for a change in the presence status of the second user.
Specifically, in the second user terminal 120 that is the set target, the status information ST of the second user that is the target is either absent, out of the office, in a meeting, at lunch, in the middle of customer business, or leaving the office. The server 130 determines whether the status of the person has been changed to present.

If it is determined that one of the statuses has been changed to present, the server 130 cooperates with the control unit of the second user terminal 120 to display the display unit 121 of the second user terminal 120 indicating that the user who has set up to receive notifications is It may be configured to display a pop-up window (not shown) indicating that the user is present.
As an example, a pop-up window (not shown) may include a message stating, "Emi Suzuki has set a notification for your status change."

As a result, when the second user Ichiro Tanaka returns to his seat, a pop-up window appears on the display section 121 of the second user terminal 120 indicating that there is a user (Emi Suzuki) who has set up notification reception. (not shown) will pop up.
As a result, the user can easily and reliably know that the user (Emi Suzuki) has been waiting for him (Ichiro Tanaka) to return to his seat.

Further, the second user may be notified that the first user has confirmed the notification of the change in the presence status of the second user.
Specifically, when Emi Suzuki, the first user, performs an action such as clicking on the pop-up window 117a on the first user terminal 110A, based on this action, a signal indicating that she has viewed the pop-up window 117a is sent to the first user terminal 110A. 1 is transmitted from the user terminal 110A to the server 130.

Then, the server 130 cooperates with the control unit of the second user terminal 120 of the second user Ichiro Tanaka, who is the set target, to control the display unit 121 of the second user terminal 120 of the second user Ichiro Tanaka. The configuration may be configured to display a pop-up window (not shown) to the effect that "Emi Suzuki has confirmed (seen) the notification of the status change to your presence."

As a result, even if Ichiro Tanaka does not contact Emi Suzuki, Ichiro Tanaka can predict that Emi Suzuki will have some kind of contact with Ichiro Tanaka, such as calling or coming to see her.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of users are registered in advance in the database 131 of the server 130 as the same group.
For example, Emi Suzuki and Ichiro Tanaka are registered as part of the General Affairs Department group.
Then, Ichiro Tanaka comes to work today after leaving work yesterday, and as shown in FIG. ” status button 126 is operated.
Then, the second user terminal 120 transmits the status information ST of "Attendance (Attendance)" to the server 130, and the server 130 updates the database 131 with "Ichiro Tanaka" and the "Attendance (Attendance)" status information ST. register.
Here, instead of operating the status button 126 of "Present (Attendance)", the attendance status may be registered when the seat selection operation described above is performed.

In this way, the status information ST is changed to the attendance status by input from the second user terminal 120 of Ichiro Tanaka, who is a user in the same group.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the server 130 cooperates with the control units of the user terminals in the same group, such as the first user terminal 110A other than the second user terminal 120, to As an example, the display section 111 of a user terminal in the same group, such as the first user terminal 110A, will display "Ichiro Tanaka's status has changed. Out of office ->Present" as an example of a change to the attendance status of the second user in the same group. The screen is configured to display a pop-up window 117b containing information such as "(Coming to work)".

As a result, the attendance information of members of the same group will be displayed in a pop-up.
As a result, users can see which members of the same group are at work and can meet with them directly to proceed with their work.
In particular, even in an office with a free address system, you can refer to the seat layout 114a on the attendance management screen 113 to confirm the other person's seat and proceed with your work by meeting directly.
Although the configuration has been described in which the pop-up window 117b is displayed as a pop-up on the display unit 111 of the first user terminal 110A, the server 130 sends a so-called push notification to the first user smartphone terminal 110B to inform the first user smartphone terminal 110B of the arrival of the second user in the same group. It may be configured to notify information of changes to the status.

Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of users are registered in advance in the database 131 of the server 130 as the same group.
For example, 12 people, including Emi Suzuki, Ichiro Tanaka, and Hong Nguyen, are registered as part of the General Affairs Department group.
Further, the server 130 calculates, as group attendance information GP, how many of the users in the same group are at work based on the attendance status of the users in the same group.
As shown in FIG. 9, the server 130 is configured to display the group attendance information GP on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A as the user terminal of the same group.

As a result, group number-of-work attendance information GP is displayed on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A as a user terminal for each group.
As a result, users in each group can easily know the attendance status of members in the group, such as in the same department.
In other words, even if the office has a free address system, it is possible to easily know the attendance status of members within the group.
Furthermore, when a user in the same group changes the status information ST to leaving the office (going home) status, the server 130, based on the received status information ST, calculates the number of users out of the number of users in the same group as the group attendance information GP. Calculate again whether the person is present at work.
Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the server 130 displays the calculated group attendance information GP again on the presence management screen 113 of the first user terminal 110A as the user terminal of the same group.
That is, the server 130 updates the group number of employees attending work GP based on changes in the status information ST of users in the same group.
