Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a time management device having a daylight saving time (English name: Daylight Saving Time) function. More specifically, when the time of an internal clock is advanced or delayed by a predetermined time due to daylight saving time, the sign is converted to time data. The present invention relates to a time management device with a daylight saving time switching marking function that can be marked.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Most time recorders, parking fee calculators, and amusement park fee calculators that are manufactured for overseas export can register the start and end dates of summer time in advance, and switch the start date. When the time comes, the internal clock automatically advances for a predetermined time (1 hour), and when the end date changes, the internal clock automatically returns for a predetermined time (1 hour). Have been.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional time recorder with the summer time function described above, the fact that "time switching of the internal clock" is not indicated on the time card or the time data for communication, so that the employee works while straddling the switching time. In such a case, the salary calculation becomes difficult and the salary amount is often mistaken, and the same applies to a parking lot charge calculator for calculating a parking time or a game for calculating a time using a game facility. It also occurred for the toll calculator.
[0004]
In short, in the salary calculation at the time of daylight saving time switching, if the number of working hours indicated by the time data is compared with the actual number of working hours, it is easy to find that there is a difference of one hour (predetermined time). It can be understood that the correct salary can be calculated by performing the salary calculation corresponding to the actual number of working hours while taking this difference in the number of hours into account. Does not mention the fact that the time of the internal clock is switched, so he forgot the difference in the number of hours for one hour and calculated the number of working hours. As a result, an error occurred in the salary calculation. Yes, the same applies to the calculation of parking time or the use time of a game arcade.
[0005]
Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is that a time manager works (time recorder), parks (parking fee calculator), and plays a game (gaming fee calculator) while straddling the daylight saving time switching time. Inform and warn the user of the calculation of the number of hours to avoid errors, and another technical problem is the task of calculating the actual number of hours when the time of the internal clock is switched by daylight saving time. Is to be easily performed.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means taken by the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.
[0007]
The start date and end date of daylight saving time are registered, and the internal clock automatically advances by a predetermined time when the start date changes, and the internal clock automatically returns by the predetermined time when the end date changes. In the configured time management device with summer time function,
[0008]
(1) From the time when the internal clock automatically advances or returns by a predetermined time by the above-mentioned summer time function, the processing date switching time set in advance to be a one-day delimiter for processing time data is set. When time data is input during the previous time, a daylight saving time switching mark adding means for adding a daylight saving time switching mark to this time data every time the time data is input is provided.
[0009]
(2) If no time data is input between the preset processing date switching time and the time when the internal clock automatically advances or returns a predetermined time by the summer time function, the summer time switching is performed. A mark addition stopping means for preventing the addition of the mark by the mark adding means is provided.
[0010]
(3) The daylight saving time switching mark added to the time data by the daylight saving time switching mark adding means is a mark made up of a symbol, graphic, character, or the like that can distinguish the start and end of daylight saving time.
[0011]
(4) The daylight saving time switch notation added to the time data by the daylight saving time switch notation means is a time assuming that the internal clock was not automatically switched on the daylight saving start or end date.
[0012]
In the above means, the time data is time data such as attendance / departure at a time recorder, entry / exit data at a parking fee calculator, or use start / end at a game center fee calculator. Data means start / interrupt / restart / end data in time calculation, and the processing date switching time means a time that becomes a delimiter of one day in processing time data as described above. For example, if the processing date switching time is 5:00 and today is September 30, the time between 5:00 in the morning on September 30 and 4:49 in the morning on October 1 is the time. It is a day for data processing, and even if the date changes on the calendar, for example, the time card is imprinted on the printing column of the same date.
[0013]
The means described in the above (1) to (4) operate as follows.
[0014]
According to the means described in the above (1), the daylight saving time switching mark is added to the time data only on the processing day when the internal clock is automatically switched by the summer time function. This alerts you to the calculation and allows you to perform payroll or charge calculations correctly.
[0015]
According to the means described in (2) above, the time manager is notified of the actual number of hours only when time data is input while straddling the time at which the internal clock is automatically switched by the summer time function. However, if the time data is input without straddling the above time, it is not necessary to call for the attention. Enable to record.
[0016]
According to the means described in the above (3), by confirming the daylight saving time switching mark (mark) added to the time data, it is determined whether the time data is recorded on the start day of the daylight saving time or the end time. By judging whether it is recorded on the day, the time manager is warned to calculate the actual number of hours, so that the salary calculation or the charge calculation can be performed without fail.
[0017]
According to the means described in (4) above, by confirming the time of the daylight saving time switching mark added to the time data, it is possible for the time manager to calculate the input time of the time data when there is no daylight saving time. , The actual number of hours worked can be calculated very easily and accurately, and the number of hours automatically calculated by a computer is also possible.
[0018]
As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the means described in (1) to (4), and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
[0019]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a time management device with a daylight saving time switching marking function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings taking a time clock as an example.
[0020]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a time clock embodying the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an electronic time clock, and 1a denotes a card in which a time card TC as shown in FIGS. The pocket 2 is a display for displaying the current date and time and the like. Numerals 3 generally indicate a numeric keypad 3a including an enter key 3E, an attendance key 3b that is turned on when going to work, and an exit key 3c that is turned on when leaving work. , And a key hole 3d dedicated to mode switching. Reference numerals 4a and 4b denote display lamps provided on the attending key b and the leaving key 3c.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the electrical configuration of the time clock 1 described above. A bus BUS connected to a CPU 5 that forms the center of the control unit forms a ROM 6 that stores a system program, and a daylight saving time. A data memory RAM 7 for storing daylight saving time setting parameters including the start and end dates and times of each person, attendance data of each person, or time data or additional data for daylight saving time switching notation to be described later; an internal clock 8; A device 9 and an interface circuit 10 are connected. The interface circuit 10 further includes, in addition to the display 2 and the keyboard 3 described above, key lamps including display lamps 4a and 4b, attendance data and various other data. A printing device 11 that prints various kinds of notes, etc. Have location 12 is connected, respectively are configured to be controlled operates according to a system program stored in the ROM6 under the supervision of the CPU 5.
[0022]
Next, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are diagrams illustrating an example of a work pattern when an employee works while straddling the daylight saving time switching time as described in claim 1, and FIG. A case where attendance data (retirement) is input in a time zone from the time when the internal clock 8 is automatically advanced by one hour at the start (AM 2:00) to the time before the processing date switching time (AM 5:00). In the present invention, when work data is input during such a time zone, a program stored in the ROM 6 shown in FIG. Accordingly, a switching mark for starting daylight saving time is added to the attendance data.
[0023]
Similarly, FIG. 4 shows the attendance data (work-out) in the time period from the time when the internal clock 8 automatically returns by one hour due to the end of daylight saving time (AM 2:00) to the time before the processing date switching time (AM 5:00). This shows an example of a work pattern in the case where there is an input of time data. In the present invention, when time data is input in such a time zone, daylight saving time is added to the time data in accordance with a program in accordance with the present invention. A mechanism for adding a switching mark for termination is provided.
[0024]
5 and 6 show the time when the internal clock 8 is automatically advanced by one hour due to the start of daylight saving time (AM 2:00) from the processing date switching time (AM 5:00), as described in claim 2, and A work pattern when no time data is input until the internal clock 8 automatically returns by one hour due to the end of daylight saving time (AM 2:00), that is, the internal clock 8 based on daylight saving time. It is an example of a work pattern in a case where the work is not performed in a state of straddling the automatic switching, and in such a work situation, in calculating the actual number of working hours on the processing date, Since there is no need to call attention, the time stamp is not added to the attendance data.
[0025]
Next, FIG. 12 shows an example of a daylight saving time switching mark added to the time data printed on the time card TC, in which Ta... Is printed time data, and SA and SB are daylight saving time. The daylight saving time switching marks printed and output by the printing device 11 are shown in a special print column when the time has advanced by one hour due to the start of the time and when the time has returned by one hour due to the end of the daylight saving time. As shown in claim 3, the start and end of daylight saving time are constituted by a mark made up of a symbol, a graphic, or a character that can be easily determined at a glance, and the illustrated one is an example. Of course.
[0026]
FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of the daylight saving time switching mark added to the attendance data Ta printed on the time card TC. In the figure, SD and SE indicate daylight saving time start dates or end dates. The respective time data SD and SE assuming that the internal clock 8 was not automatically switched are shown. These respective time data SD and SE are printed out in a dedicated column of the time card TC using the printing device 11, and are actually output. This makes it easy to calculate the number of working hours.
[0027]
In the above-described embodiment, it is described that each of the daylight saving time switching marks SA to SE is stamped and printed on the time card TC as a mark and a time. However, each of these switching marks SA to SE is added to communication data. Of course, it is possible.
[0028]
Next, the processing procedure of the daylight saving time switching mark according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
[0029]
Note that, in the “clock status” shown in FIGS. 7 to 11,
0 = a state where no advance / return of one hour has occurred on the processing day, 1 = a state advanced by one hour due to the start of daylight saving time, and before the processing date switching time, and 2 = a one hour return due to the end of daylight saving time, and processing. The states before the date change time are respectively meant.
[0030]
Furthermore, in "Summer time flag",
ON = during the daylight saving time, one hour ahead of normal, and OFF = normal state.
[0031]
FIG. 7 illustrates the procedure of the background process started every minute. In the first step S1, it is determined whether or not the daylight saving time is currently in progress, and in the next step S2, it is determined that the daylight saving time is in progress. Then, the process proceeds to step S3, and if it is determined that summer time is not in progress, the process proceeds to step S10.
[0032]
In step S3, the ON / OFF state of the daylight saving time flag is determined. If the flag is OFF, the process proceeds to step S4, in which the internal clock 8 is advanced by one hour and the process proceeds to the next step S5. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S8 described later.
[0033]
In step S5, the daylight saving time flag is turned on to start daylight saving time. Then, the process proceeds to step S6 to store the current processing date as the daylight saving time switching date in the data memory RAM7, and then proceeds to step S7 to change the clock status to "1". And proceed to step S8.
[0034]
In step S8, it is determined whether or not the current processing date is the daylight saving time switching day. If it is not the daylight saving time switching day, the process proceeds to step S9, where the clock status is set to "0" and the processing is ended. Ends the processing as it is.
[0035]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that the daylight saving time is not in progress, the ON / OFF state of the daylight saving time flag is determined in step S10. If the flag is OFF, the process proceeds directly to step S8 described above. In step S11, the internal clock 8 is set back by one hour, then in step S12, the daylight saving time flag is turned off. After that, in step S13, the current processing date is stored in the data memory RAM 7 as the daylight saving time switching date. In step S14, the clock status is set to "2", and the process proceeds to step S8 described above.
[0036]
FIG. 8 is a flow chart for explaining the process of stamping the daylight saving time switching mark according to the first and third aspects. When the time card TC is inserted into the card pocket 1a of the time recorder 1 in the first step S20, the process proceeds to step S21. Then, the card transporting device 9 transports the time card TC to the printing step position of the day, and then the process proceeds to step S22, where the printing device 11 prints the current time in the corresponding print column of the time card TC, and proceeds to the next step S23. .
[0037]
In step S23, the status of the clock status is determined. If = 1, the process proceeds to step S24, where the printing apparatus 11 displays the mark SA shown in FIG. , The process proceeds to step S26, in which the card transporting device 9 discharges the time card TC into the card pocket 1a and ends the processing.
[0038]
However, if the clock status = 0, the process proceeds directly to step S26 described above. If the clock status = 0, the process proceeds to step S25 to indicate that the printing apparatus 11 has returned to the title SB shown in FIG. After the indicated mark is printed on the corresponding print column of the time card TC, the process proceeds to the above-described step S26 to end the process.
[0039]
FIG. 9 is a flow chart for explaining the process of embossing the daylight saving time switching mark according to the second and third aspects. In this flowchart, when the processes of card insertion, conveyance and printing in steps S30, S31 and S32 are completed, In the next step S33, it is determined whether or not the current processing date is the processing date of the previous input. If it is not the processing date of the previous input, that is, if it is the first input on the current processing date, The process proceeds to step S34, and if it is the processing date of the previous input, the process proceeds to step S38 described later.
[0040]
In step S34, it is determined whether or not the clock status is "0". If = 0, the process proceeds to step S35 to turn on the input flag, and then proceeds to step S36 to process the current processing date at the time of the previous input. The date is stored in the data memory RAM 7 and the process proceeds to the next step S38. If the value is not 0, the process proceeds to step S37, where the input flag is turned off, and then the process proceeds to step S36.
[0041]
Note that the input flag is set to ON when the clock status is 0 when the first input is made on the current processing date, that is, before the daylight saving time is switched as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. Indicates that the attendance data has been input, and OFF indicates that the attendance data has been input after the daylight saving time switching as in the case of the attendance in FIG. 5 or FIG. When the second time, that is, the leaving data, is input, the process proceeds from step S33 to step S38, and by referring to the input flag (the ON / OFF state at the time of going to work is held), the daylight saving time is inputted. Only when attendance and departure time data is input across the switching, the daylight saving time mark SA or SB is printed.
[0042]
That is, when the leaving data is input, the ON / OFF state of the input flag at the time of commuting is determined in step S38. If the ON flag is ON, that is, before the daylight saving time is switched at the time of commuting, the process proceeds to the next step S39 to leave the work. The status of the clock status at the time is determined, and if = 1, the process proceeds to step S40, and the notation SA indicating that the printing device 11 has advanced one hour due to the start of the summer time shown in FIG. After printing, the process proceeds to step S42, in which the card transporter 9 discharges the time card TC into the card pocket 1a and finishes the process. When = 0, the process directly proceeds to step S42, and when = 2, the process proceeds to step S41. In the same manner, the notation SB indicating that the time has returned by one hour after the end of summer time shown in FIG. After, which is a mechanism to end the process by executing the step S42, in the manner described above only when working across switching time of daylight saving time are added to switching 換標 SL on time data.
[0043]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the process of embossing the daylight saving time switching mark according to the fourth aspect. In this flowchart, steps S50 to S53 which are the same as steps S20 to S23 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 are executed. Thereafter, if the clock status = 1, the process proceeds to step S54, in which the printing device 11 prints the leaving time SD one hour before the current time shown in FIG. 13 in the corresponding printing column of the time card TC, and then proceeds to step S55. Then, the process proceeds to the card ejection process of FIG.
[0044]
However, if the clock status = 0, the process directly proceeds to the card ejection process in step S55. If the clock status = 0, the process proceeds to step S56, and the printing apparatus 11 outputs the clock out time SE one hour after the current time shown in FIG. After printing on the corresponding print column of the time card TC, the process proceeds to a card ejection process in step S55.
[0045]
FIG. 11 is a flow chart for explaining the process of embossing the daylight saving time switching mark according to the fourth embodiment. In this flowchart, steps S60 to S78 which are the same as steps S30 to S39 of the flowchart shown in FIG. After that, if the clock status = 1, the flow advances to step S79 to perform engraving printing of the leaving time SD one hour before the current time shown in FIG. 13, and then perform card ejection processing in step S80 to execute the processing. Finish.
[0046]
However, if the clock status is 0, the process directly proceeds to the card ejection process in step S80, and if the clock status is 2, the process proceeds to step S81, where the leaving time SE one hour after the current time shown in FIG. After that, the card ejection process in step S80 is performed, and the process ends.
[0047]
FIG. 14 is a functional block diagram illustrating the entire time clock with a daylight saving time switching and marking function according to the present invention.
[0048]
In the above, the time recorder has been described as an example. However, in the case of a parking lot charge calculator or a game hall charge calculator, the description is omitted because the principle is the same.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
The time management device with the daylight saving time switching notation function according to the present invention is as described above, and the time manager automatically indicates that the internal clock has been switched by the daylight saving time function by adding the daylight saving time switching notation. This is very convenient in calculating the actual number of hours, and it is possible to prevent errors in pay calculation or charge calculation at the time of daylight saving time switching.
