Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention is used in the technical field of time clocks, and specifically sets various programs necessary for operating the time clock. And a program setting device for the same.

[Conventional technology]

Electronic time clock programs currently used are input by operating input keys provided on the time clock while viewing program sheets created according to the work status of each user. However, the time clock program includes, for example, differences in work systems such as regular work, late-night work, holiday work, and part-time work, and differences in print control methods according to weekly and monthly wages and card specifications. Due to differences in the various conditions, there are many and various patterns, and the work patterns for each user are also different. Therefore, it is difficult even for a professional staff (service person) to make the above key input. Program input was very complicated. In addition, since it is almost impossible for the user to input the program on his own, it is also necessary to change the program partially or to clear the set program due to a trouble such as a power failure. , I had to call a staff member each time, which was very troublesome.

In addition, each time a program is input, a program sheet for key input must be created each time, so that this creation work and the key input work described above overlap, making the input more complicated. .

Also, among the programs to be input, only a small number of unique programs necessary for each user are available, and most other programs can be commonly used by each user. In addition, there is also a very inconvenient problem that most of the common programs must be repeatedly operated by key operation and input.

Therefore, the present applicant has filed a Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-12660 (Japanese Utility Model Application
-125972), succeeded in the development of a new program setting device that was devised so that various and many programs of the above time clock could be easily input using a program setting card without key operation. did.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the case of the program setting device using the above-described program setting card, one program setting card is required for each of various and many programs of the time clock. There is a problem that it is very inconvenient to carry the card, etc., and that many setting cards must be created one by one by a mark sheet method, etc. However, since a card reading device for reading a program from a setting card inserted into the time clock must be built in, there is also an economic problem that the configuration of the time clock is complicated and the cost is increased.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to make it possible to set a variety of time recorder programs very simply and accurately by using a barcode reader and one or a very small number of barcode sheets. It is to be.

[Means for solving the problem]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

A barcode reader for program setting can be freely connected to a time recorder equipped with functions for calculating, storing, and outputting work data, while a barcode sheet used in combination with this time recorder has at least various work systems. A work system code field, each of which is represented by a bar code,
An hour / minute code column in which each value for hours / minutes is represented by a barcode, and a content item code column in which each unit of hours and minutes, and content items such as start, end, and break are represented by barcodes, respectively. In addition to the above, the time recorder has a changeover switch for switching the mode of the time recorder between a normal operation mode and an operation mode for program setting, and each bar read from the barcode sheet using the barcode reader. Provide a program setting means for editing a code and setting a program for the time clock.

However, the work system here means the types of work such as normal work, late-night work, holiday work and part-time work.

[Action]

 The above means works as follows.

According to the above-mentioned means, it becomes possible to set the extremely troublesome program setting of the time clock accurately and easily by a barcode reading method much simpler than key input.

Similarly, according to the above-mentioned means, by appropriately combining the work system formed on the barcode sheet, the hour / minute, and each barcode of the content item, it is possible to freely provide a variety of time recorder programs for each user. Since there is no need to create a large number of program setting cards or carry them to the delivery destination, etc., just carry one or a very small number of barcode sheets at the delivery destination, etc. Can be set very easily and accurately.

Similarly, according to the above means, various programs for the time clock can be set by reading various bar codes formed on the bar code sheet using a bar code reader configured to be freely connectable to the time clock. It is not necessary to provide a card reader every time, and as a result, it is possible to use a time recorder having a very simple structure and accurately set a program for the time recorder at a low cost.

As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the above means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
