In addition to the functions described in the first embodiment, the Web server 2 includes a simultaneous stamping request function for requesting transmission of position information of the mobile terminals 7 to the plurality of designated mobile terminals 7, and a predetermined condition. The mask processing function for prohibiting the acquisition of the position information of the portable terminal 7 is performed below.
[0127]
Upon receiving an instruction from the administrator terminal 9 or the scheduler 13, the simultaneous time stamp requesting unit 61 applies the work start time to the respective mobile terminals 7 of the instructed workers from a predetermined time before the work start time. Mobile terminal (until a predetermined time after the business start time is acceptable) or until a predetermined time after the business end time (possible from a predetermined time before the business end time to a predetermined time) 7 is requested to transmit position information.
[0128]
The simultaneous engraving request unit 61 repeatedly requests position information transmission for each instructed mobile terminal 7 for each one. Further, the simultaneous stamping requesting unit 61 determines the work start time when the personal position determination unit 25 does not recognize the attendee as attendance or when the location information cannot be acquired from the portable terminal 7 due to some communication failure or the like. The position information transmission request is made to the portable terminal 7 a predetermined number of times after the predetermined time.
[0129]
The simultaneous stamping requesting unit 61 gives the DB server 3 date / time information at the time of requesting location information for each mobile terminal 7 or receiving location information. In the present embodiment, as an example, description will be made on the assumption that work attendance is described below using date information at the time of requesting location information to each mobile terminal 7.
[0130]
As other date / time information, for example, (1) the date / time information acquired from the clock function of the Web server 2 when the Web server 2 receives position information from each mobile terminal 7, or (2) the mobile terminal is a GPS satellite. 12 or date / time information acquired from the base station 6, or (3) date / time information acquired from the time server 11 when a position information transmission request is received or when position information of the mobile terminal 7 is received may be used.
[0131]
The position information acquisition unit 24 acquires the position information of each portable terminal 7 from each portable terminal 7 in response to the position information transmission request without the operator's operation, and the acquired position information of each portable terminal 7 is obtained. This is given to the DB server 3.
[0132]
The attendance / leaving information acquisition unit 23 receives the personal ID, work schedule information (for example, the type of in-house work or out-of-office work) transmitted simultaneously from the mobile terminal 7 in response to the location information transmission request and the location information of the mobile terminal 7 as necessary. (Or that it is outside work) and scheduled work place information when it is outside work, public holiday schedule), or the identification number of the mobile terminal (for example, the manufacturing number or telephone number of the mobile terminal 7), etc. Work schedule information is given to the DB server 3.
[0133]
The personal position determination unit 25 extracts at least the position information and position determination information of the mobile terminal 7 stored in the DB server 3, and based on these information, whether the position of the worker is a position where work attendance is recognized. Determine whether or not. The personal position determination unit 25 gives the DB server 3 the determination result of the attendance authorization of the worker.
[0134]
Here, the position determination information is information stored in the DB server 3 in advance, and the position of the worker specified from the position information of the mobile terminal 7 acquired a predetermined time before the work start time is acquired. This is information for determining whether or not it is a position where the user can arrive at the work place between the business start time and the business start time.
[0135]
The position determination information is, for example, a standard area in which a worker can arrive at the work place before the work start time (the area is determined based on an address, latitude / longitude, latitude / longitude, or a map within a predetermined range). There are information determined by time, and information that determines the standard distance by which the worker can arrive at the work place before the work start time. In addition, instead of the standard areas and standard distances described above, areas defined for each worker, distances defined for each worker are used, or standard areas or workers are defined on a predetermined commuting route. You may set a specific area.
[0136]
For example, the personal location determination unit 25 uses the personal location determination unit 25 at a predetermined time based on the location information of the mobile terminal 7, the date / time information when the location information is requested, and the location determination information. If the position of the mobile terminal is within the predetermined area, it is determined that the employee is working, and if the mobile terminal is not within the predetermined area, the employee is determined not to attend.

If the distance between the position information 7 and the place of work is within a predetermined distance, it is determined to work, and if it is not within the predetermined distance, it is determined not to attend work.
[0138]
The mask processing unit 62 prohibits the acquisition of the position information of the mobile terminal 7 during a predetermined period from the viewpoint of protecting the worker's privacy.
[0139]
Here, the predetermined period (referred to as “location information acquisition prohibition period”) is, for example, before a simultaneous stamping request by the simultaneous stamping request unit 61 (that is, a predetermined time before the work start time), It is after the time, holiday or vacation period. The worker's location information acquisition prohibition period is stored in the DB server 3.
[0140]
When the mobile terminal 7 receives the position information transmission request from the Web server 2, the mobile terminal 7 acquires the position information of the mobile terminal 7 from the GPS satellite 12 or the base station 6, and gives the acquired position information to the Web server 2.
[0141]
In addition, the mobile terminal 7 is operated by the worker, and the worker's name, personal ID, work schedule information (for example, the type of work or work outside (or that the work is outside work), and the work place information when working outside the work. , Etc.) are input in advance and stored, and at the same time as transmitting the location information, the stored worker's name, personal ID, work schedule information, etc. are given to the Web server 2. May be. Further, the mobile terminal 7 may give the identification number of the mobile terminal 7 (for example, a manufacturing number or a telephone number of the mobile terminal 7) to the Web server 2 instead of the personal ID.
[0142]
It is also possible to give the portable terminal 7 a function of prohibiting transmission of position information. In this case, even if a position information transmission prohibition period is registered in the portable terminal 7 and a request for transmission of position information is received. Reply that it cannot be sent.
[0143]
When the work schedule information input by the worker's operation is a holiday or a vacation period, the mobile terminal 7 gives only the work schedule information to the Web server 2 and does not give the location information of the mobile terminal 7 to the Web server 2. It may be.
[0144]
In addition to the functions described in the first embodiment, the administrator terminal 9 performs a simultaneous time stamp instruction function for executing a simultaneous time stamp request instruction to the Web server 2 via the Internet 4 by an operation of the administrator. Is provided.
[0145]
In FIG. 5, the simultaneous stamping instruction unit 14 of the administrator terminal 9 takes in the worker's mobile terminal 7 that requests simultaneous stamping and the time at which position information transmission is requested by the administrator's operation, and inputs them to the Web server 2. Give.
[0146]
The scheduler 13 includes an automatic simultaneous marking instruction unit 15 that executes a simultaneous marking request instruction to the Web server 2 via the Internet 4 at the worker's portable terminal 7 and time preset by the administrator. .

When the mobile terminal 7-1 acquires the location information of the mobile terminal 7-1, the acquired location information of the mobile terminal 7-1 is given to the Web server 2 (S24).
[0156]
At this time, the worker's name, personal ID, and work schedule information (for example, the type of in-house work or out-of-office work (or that it is out-of-office work), which is stored in advance in the mobile terminal 7-1 by the operation of the work person, The planned work location information and the public holiday schedule for outside work are also transmitted to the Web server 2 simultaneously with the transmission of the position information (S24).
[0157]
The location information of the portable terminal 7-1 acquired from the portable terminal 7-1 and the worker's name, personal ID, work schedule information, etc. transmitted simultaneously are associated with each worker and stored in the DB server 3. Given and stored (S25).
[0158]
The location information and work location information of the portable terminal 7-1 stored in the DB server 3 are read by the web server 2, and based on the location information and location determination information of the portable terminal 7, the web server 2 It is determined whether or not the worker is certified to work (S26).
[0159]
For example, the Web server 2 uses a mobile terminal at a predetermined time based on position information of the mobile terminal 7-1, date information at the time of requesting position information, and position determination information. If the position is within the predetermined area, it is determined that the employee has attended, and if the position is not within the predetermined area, the employee is determined not to attend.
[0160]
Further, for example, as a worker attendance determination method, the Web server 2 uses a portable terminal at a predetermined time based on position information and work place information of the portable terminal 7-1, date and time information at the time of requesting position information, and position determination information. If the distance between the position information of 7-1 and the work place is within a predetermined distance, it is determined that the employee is working.
[0161]
If it is determined by the determination by the Web server 2 that the worker of the mobile terminal 7-1 is working or not attending, the determination result for the mobile terminal 7-1 is given to the DB server 3 and stored, and the mobile The attendance authorization process for terminal 7-1 ends (S27).
[0162]
The location information management device 1 repeats the basic processing operation as described above for the other designated portable terminals 7-2 (S28 to S31).
[0163]
When the processing described above is also performed on the mobile terminal 7-2, and it is determined by the determination by the Web server 2 that the worker of the mobile terminal 7-2 is not attending work, a predetermined number of times before the work start time. The position information transmission request is transmitted from the Web server 2 to the portable terminal 7-2, and the position information of the portable terminal 7-2 is given to the Web server 2 (S32). That is, the Web server 2 executes reacquisition of position information of the mobile terminal 7-2.

[0170]
As a method for returning the work status information of this non-attendant, for example, when an e-mail is given from the Web server 2 to the mobile terminal 7-2, the work status information input in advance by the non-attendant is the operation of the non-attendant. It may be given to the Web server 2 without going through.
[0171]
Further, for example, when an e-mail or a work status confirmation signal is given to the mobile terminal 7-2, the work status transmission function of the mobile terminal 7-2 is used by the operation of a non-attendant to perform "vacation" A work status such as “late” may be given to the Web server.
[0172]
The work status transmission function of the portable terminal 7-2 is a function that gives the work status of a non-attendant to the Web server 2 by an operation of a non-attendant, and is executed as follows.
[0173]
For example, when the mobile terminal 7-2 receives an e-mail or a work status confirmation signal for confirming the work status information of a non-attendant, it selects a work status such as “rest”, “outside work”, “late”, etc. stored in advance. A response screen (not shown) is displayed, and a work situation such as “absence”, “outside work”, “late work” or the like is selected by an operation of a non-attendant, and the selection information and personal information are given to the Web server 2. Alternatively, a work situation to be selected in advance is registered in the mobile terminal 7-2 (for example, “1” is selected by the input unit of the mobile terminal 7-2, and “2” is selected when “2” is selected. If the confirmation signal is given to the mobile terminal 7-2, the work status information registered in advance is selected by the operation of the unattended person, and the selected work status information is displayed. It may be given to the Web server 2.
[0174]

In addition, the communication unit 91 gives the employee the time stamp information using the Java application to the Web server 2 via the Internet 4 by the worker.
[0190]
The Java application correspondence processing unit 92 stores the Java application acquired through the communication unit 91 by the worker's operation, activates the Java application by the worker's operation, and performs a stamping process related to the worker's attendance or leaving work Is to execute.
[0191]
The control unit 93 controls the function of the mobile terminal 7. The screen display unit 94 is screen display means having a browser function. The screen display unit 94 displays a screen based on the Java application activated by the worker's operation. The input unit 95 is an input unit that is operated by a worker.
[0192]
Hereinafter, the operation of the normal time stamping process by the mobile terminal 7 having the Java application corresponding processing unit 92 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0193]
By a worker's operation, the URL of the location information management device 1 is input to the mobile terminal 7 and accesses the Web server 2, and then a Java application transmission request is given to the Web server 2 (S1001).
[0194]
The Java application stored in the Java application DB server 16 is given from the Web server 2 to the portable terminal 7 (S1002).
[0195]
The Java application is given to the mobile terminal 7 and stored in the Java application corresponding processing unit 82 of the mobile terminal 7. That is, the Java application is downloaded to the storage unit (not shown) of the mobile terminal 7 by the worker's operation (S1003).
[0196]
When downloading a Java application related to time stamping or leaving work, the worker's personal ID (or identification information of the mobile terminal 7 such as a manufacturing number or a mobile number) entered by the worker, work information, etc. The Java application may be given to the portable terminal 7 when the personal authentication is valid after the personal authentication of the worker who is given to the Web server 2 and registered in advance.
[0197]
After that, when the worker intends to perform the time stamping process of going to work or leaving work, the downloaded Java application is activated by the worker's operation (S1004). At this time, the personal ID of the worker registered in advance in the portable terminal 7 or the identification number of the portable terminal 7 is automatically given to the Web server 2 to confirm the identity of the worker (S1005 to S1006). If the employee's identity cannot be confirmed, the engraving process described below is not performed.
[0198]
Here, as a method for activating the Java application, for example, the worker may select the Java application activation key from the menu screen displayed on the mobile terminal 7 to activate the Java application. In addition, key assignment for starting the Java application is set in advance in the mobile terminal 7, and the Java application may be started by pressing the assigned key for a predetermined time.
[0199]
When the identity of the worker is confirmed, the attendance / leaving screen from the Web server 2 is displayed on the mobile terminal 7. The image of the attendance / leaving screen corresponds to the image screen of FIG. 4C, and is a screen having at least an attendance / leaving type, a business mode, and a time stamping key that can be operated by the worker (S1007).
[0200]
When the attendance type and the business mode are input by the worker's operation and the time stamping key is selected (S1008), the time stamping information and the input information are given from the portable terminal 7 to the Web server 2 (S1009). ).
[0201]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the identity verification of the worker is based on automatic authentication. However, after engraving by the worker, a login screen asking the worker for a personal ID or password is displayed on the mobile terminal 7 and the worker is confirmed. The identity verification may be performed based on the personal ID or password entered in.
[0202]
Alternatively, the attendance / leaving screen may be displayed by starting a Java application, and a personal ID or the like may be transmitted together with the selection of the stamp key.
[0203]
It should be noted that the transmission processing of the location information of the mobile terminal 7 and the suitability determination of the stamped position of the worker by the Web server 2 correspond to the description of the first embodiment, and will be omitted.
[0204]
(C-2) Automatic stamping process from a portable terminal having a Java application compatible processing function
The automatic stamping process corresponds to the automatic stamping conditions such as the time set by the worker and the location / area set by the worker after downloading the Java application, regardless of the worker's operation. When this happens, the Java application is activated, and the stamping information is automatically transmitted from the portable terminal 7 to the Web server 2.
[0205]
Below, the automatic stamping process from the portable terminal 7 which has the Java application corresponding | compatible process function 92 is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
[0206]
After the portable terminal 7 downloads the Java application by the operator's operation (S1001 to S1003), an automatic stamp setting display screen (not shown) for starting the Java application and setting automatic stamping conditions is portable. It is displayed on the terminal 7 (S1101).
[0207]
This automatic stamp setting display screen is a screen for requesting the worker to set automatic stamping conditions such as at least a setting time for automatic stamping, a setting location / setting region for automatic stamping, and the like.
[0208]
By the worker's operation, automatic stamping conditions such as a set time for automatic stamping, a setting place / set area for automatic stamping, and the like are input, and the input automatic stamping conditions are set in the downloaded Java application ( S1102).
[0209]
Here, the automatic time stamping time to be set is a time at which time stamping is desired based on the scheduled work time or work leaving time of the worker. Further, the place to be set is a place where the worker wishes to automatically stamp when he / she is at the set place, for example, the address of the worker's work place (or may be longitude / latitude information). . The area to be set is, for example, an area that the worker wishes to automatically stamp when within a predetermined distance from the address (or longitude / latitude information) of the place set by the worker. It is.
[0210]
The automatic time stamping conditions may be set for a plurality of times, places, areas, setting periods, etc. for each time at work and when leaving work, and may be set / changed from the administrator terminal 9.
[0211]
In addition, the automatic stamping conditions may be changed by a worker's operation, but from the viewpoint of preventing false declaration of attendance at work or leaving work, for example, after receiving permission to change from the administrator terminal 9 Therefore, it is desirable to change the web server 2 in response to an automatic stamping condition change request.
[0212]
When it is determined that the automatic stamping condition by the worker is met (S1103), that is, when the set time is reached, it is determined that the worker (exactly the mobile terminal 7) is located in the set place / area. The Java application is activated (S1104).
[0213]
At this time, when the automatic stamping condition is within the set place / area, the determination as to whether or not the automatic stamping condition is applicable is based on the position information acquired by the mobile terminal 7 from the GPS satellite 12 or the base station 6. The determination is made based on the determination as to whether or not it is within the place / area.
[0214]
When the Java application is activated, the time stamp information is automatically given from the portable terminal 7 to the Web server 2 (S1105). At this time, the personal ID registered in advance in the mobile terminal 7 or the identification number of the mobile terminal 7, personal information, etc. may be simultaneously given to the Web server 2.
[0215]
In this way, the automatic stamping process from the mobile terminal 7 to the Web server 2 is performed.
[0216]
(C-3) Simultaneous engraving processing from a portable terminal having a Java application compatible processing function
The automatic stamping process described above sets automatic stamping conditions by the worker for the downloaded Java application. This simultaneous stamping process is performed by the Java application on the administrator side or the attendance management system. When the automatic stamping condition is set by the operation side and the automatic stamping condition is set, the Java application is started and the stamping information is automatically sent from the portable terminal 7 to the Web server 2. It is a function transmitted to.
[0217]
In addition, if the worker meets the automatic stamping conditions before the automatic stamping conditions set by the administrator or the attendance / exit management system operation side, the stamping information is automatically received from the mobile terminal 7. Alternatively, it may be transmitted to the Web server 2.
[0218]
For example, when the time stamp is set as an automatic time stamping condition set by the manager or the operation side of the attendance management system, the worker comes to work before the time stamp and the position of the mobile terminal 7 When the information is located at a business address (or longitude / latitude information) set in advance, the Java application may be automatically started and the stamp information may be given to the Web server 2.
[0219]
(D) Other embodiments
(D-1) In the second embodiment described above, the simultaneous marking at the time of going to work was mainly described, but as described in the second embodiment, it can also be applied to the simultaneous marking at the time of leaving work.
[0220]
The example of the simultaneous stamping procedure at the time of leaving work is as follows: (1) The simultaneous stamping is started at the leaving time (work end time). At this time, since a plurality of mobile terminals 7 are targeted, position information cannot be acquired from all the mobile terminals 7 at the same time as the leave time, so the difference between the position information acquisition time and the leave time is obtained. Similarly, if it is located within the movable range, it is considered to have been at the company. (2) The position information acquired in (1) above, which is stamped by oneself when changing overtime, confirms that he / she worked until the leave time, and if there is no stamp after the leave time Determined to be a regular employee. For those who stamped after leaving the office, work until the stamping time is certified. In addition, for those who have filed overtime in advance, location information can be obtained at the same time at the scheduled leaving time, and work until the scheduled leaving time can be certified (from the viewpoint of privacy protection, leaving the company). The simultaneous stamping after the time is limited to the overtime reporter).
[0221]
(D-2) In the second embodiment described above, the time for simultaneous stamping by the Web server 2 can be set by the operation of the administrator. In addition, the simultaneous stamping date and time can be set in advance in the Web server 2 according to the working status of the worker, such as the calendar and the business day of the workplace, by the operation of the administrator.
[0222]
Accordingly, the Web server 2 can make a position information transmission request according to the simultaneous stamping date and time set by the administrator without waiting for the simultaneous stamping request instruction from the administrator terminal 9 or the scheduler 13.
[0223]
Further, as a setting condition for simultaneous stamping by the administrator, it is also possible to set the number of retransmissions of the position information request information to be retransmitted to the mobile terminal 7 when the worker is recognized as not attending work.
[0224]
(D-3) In the first to third embodiments described above, is the location information management device 1 specifying the stamped position of the worker based on the location information of the mobile terminal 7 or going to work or leaving work? Although it has been determined whether or not, by obtaining position information that can be regarded as the stamped position of the worker from the outside, it is possible to perform work attendance or leave recognition.
[0225]
For example, as position information that can be regarded as a worker's stamped position, the worker may call the position information management device 1 and stamp according to voice guidance registered in advance in the position information management device 1.
[0226]
