Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for calculating a worker's occupancy rate and a terminal network operating rate based on information obtained from a gate management system and a network management system.
Specifically, the purpose is to calculate the occupancy rate and network utilization rate of workers while maintaining the original functions of gate management and network management system, and to calculate the appropriate staffing and the number of terminals installed. It relates to the complex system.
The present invention mainly relates to a system suitable for a workplace where a terminal such as a personal computer is regularly used and net-in management of a terminal used by an individual is performed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, with regard to occupancy rate management, a system centered on time recorders is used to determine the number N of attendees and to count the number of occupants n, and based on the ratio (n / N), etc. The rate was being calculated.
On the other hand, when unlocking the door when entering the room, using a portable card medium such as a magnetic card, IC card, or contactless IC card, the door is unlocked after confirming the identity of the person Is known as a gate management system, but its purpose is to manage entry / exit by identifying individuals (determining whether to enter / exit) and is not a system for calculating the occupancy rate of all workers. .
The network management system similarly records and manages the time of login or logout using a magnetic card, IC card, or non-contact IC card when logging into the server. Information to be logged in to the server, such as a server name, a user name, or a password, is recorded in the card medium, and the information is read by using this card when logging in. This system also manages login / logout of individual terminals, but is not a system for calculating the operating rate of the entire network.
[0003]
Therefore, conventionally, there is no appropriate system for constantly calculating the occupancy rate and the operation rate, and calculation is performed whenever necessary.
Therefore, the occupancy rate and the network operation rate are not regularly managed, which causes the excessive or insufficient personnel allocation and facility allocation to be left as they are. In addition, calculating the occupancy rate only from attendance data and calculating the network operation rate only from the number of terminals does not lead to an appropriate staffing or terminal introduction plan, but it is necessary to grasp personnel and terminals in association with each other. It is thought that there is.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to apply the network management system data to the gate management system as a system for calculating the occupancy rate and the network operation rate by maintaining the conventional functions and combining the functions. It has been conceived and the present invention has been completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of a occupancy rate and network operation rate calculation system. Since all the calculation systems have the same system configuration, they are expressed in the same diagram. In FIG. 1, 10 is a gate management system, 20 is a network management system, and 30 is a management server. Both the occupancy rate calculation system and the network operation rate calculation system are composed of such lower systems and devices.
The management server 30 accumulates data from the gate management system 10 and the network management system 20, calculates the occupancy rate and the network operation rate, and displays and outputs them if necessary.
An individual who uses this system carries a card medium 2 such as an employee ID card and uses it as an electronic key for a gate or a login authentication key.
As the card medium 2, a magnetic card, a contact IC card, a non-contact IC card, or the like can be used. Of course, you may use the portable medium which replaces the card | curd medium 2, for example, what is a coin-like medium and a pen-like medium, and performs the same function.
[0008]
Hereinafter, each component system will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the gate management system. The gate management system 10 includes a card reader 11, an electronic lock 12, and a controller 13. When entering or leaving the room, when a card medium 2 (also referred to as an “electronic key” in the case of a gate management system) 2 carried by the individual M1 is inserted into the card reader 11, information recorded on the card medium 2, particularly the individual The card reader 11 reads the ID number that identifies In the case of a non-contact IC card, reading is performed only by holding it over a card reader.
Information read by the card reader 11 is transmitted to the controller 13. In the controller 13, an ID number is registered in advance, and it is determined from the transmitted information whether the individual is a person who can enter the room. The possibility of leaving the room is not usually judged, but unlocking is performed by reading the card medium 2 in order to obtain a record of leaving the room.
If the person can enter the room, the electronic lock 12 is unlocked. If it is determined that the person cannot enter the room, the electronic lock is not unlocked. When unlocked, the unlocking time is stored in the controller for each ID number, and is sequentially transmitted each time unlocking is performed, or is collectively output to a medium such as a floppy disk to the management server 30 for data movement.
[0009]
When the card medium 2 used for the gate management system 10 is a non-contact IC card, it is considered that data loss is reduced. That is, even if a plurality of people enter and leave the room at the same time using a single card medium, a non-contact IC card can recognize and read ID numbers of a large number of IC cards carried.
Also, when leaving the room, it is troublesome to have the card reader 11 read it. However, if it is a non-contact IC card, it can be read by passing through the card reader unit, so it should be used as long as the non-contact IC card is carried The labor of the person is reduced.
In this regard, in the case of a contact type IC card, in the case of entering a large number of people at the same time, there is a person who does not read the card reader 11, so data loss may occur.
However, even with contact IC cards and magnetic cards, data loss will not occur if a strict system such as a ticket gate system for transportation cannot be passed without a reading operation.
[0010]
Furthermore, it is preferable that the card medium 2 can be shared by the gate management system and the network management system. This is because if both cards function with different cards, they may leave the terminal with the terminal logged in, and an operation rate close to 100% may always be exhibited.
In this case, the terminal can be activated with a non-contact IC card. However, if the IC card operates on the same IC chip with a contact type and a non-contact type two-way card, it is necessary to perform gate management. Can use a non-contact IC card function, and a contact-type function can be used for terminal login.
[0011]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the network management system. The network management system 20 includes a card reader 21, a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”) 22, a server 23, and the like, and constitutes a local area network (LAN). Although it is not necessary to specify one terminal such as a PC for each individual, net-in management of all terminals is required. This is because the operating status needs to be correctly reflected in the network operating rate.
A card medium ("login authentication key") on which information such as a server name, a user name, and a password required for login is recorded in an environment where the user logs in to the server 23 simultaneously with the startup of the PC 22 or after the OS startup The card reader 21 reads the information from 2 and kicks the server 23 to log in if possible. If login is impossible, do not log in.
[0012]
When logging off, the card is taken out from the card reader 21 and the card is automatically discriminated and logged off or read again by the card reader.
The time when the user logs in or logs off is held in the PC, and is transmitted to the management server 30 sequentially or collectively at each login / logoff.
The management server 30 may be provided with a PC, a display 31, etc., and calculates the occupancy rate based on the information transmitted from the gate management system 10 or the network management system 20 and further calculates the network operation rate. Can do.
[0013]
Next, data handling by this system will be described.
<Gate management system>
When unlocking the door (gate) 3, the individual M 1 uses the card medium (electronic key) 2 to confirm the identity of the individual M 1 and unlocks the electronic lock. A worker who enters or leaves the room can be identified by the ID number of the person. The worker who enters (leaves) the room unlocks the card reader 11 through the card medium 2. The controller 13 holds a record when unlocked.
The obtained time information is sequentially transmitted to the management server 30 or outputted to a medium such as a floppy disk (FD) and processed in a batch by the management server. Management can be performed.
[0014]
In this gate management system 10, the time at which a worker enters the room for the first time (unlocking time) is regarded as the work time, and the time at which the employee leaves the room at the end (unlocking time) is regarded as the work time. Perform data processing. Even in the middle of work hours and work hours, time information is obtained for each worker entering and leaving the room and used as basic data for calculating the occupancy rate and the network operation rate.
FIG. 4 is an example of an entry / exit record obtained by the gate management system. A record of members who can enter and leave the room is recorded in units of year, month, day, hour, and minute, and the name, type of entry / exit (IN, OUT) and the number of times of entry / exit on that day are recorded.
[0015]
<Network management system>
In the network management system, a card reader 21 is connected to a PC used by each person. Pass the card medium 2 through the card reader and enter the password for accessing the card. If the password is approved, the login information held in the card medium is transmitted to the management server 30. The contents of the data are the same as in the case of the gate management system.
At this time, the record is managed with the login time as the login time and the logout time as the logout time. Information to be logged into the server, such as the server name, user name, or password, is recorded in the card, which is a portable recording medium, and information is obtained by using this card medium when logging in. Is read.
[0016]
<Management server>
The management server 30 functions as the information source using the individual entry / exit time information and login / logout time information obtained from the gate management system or the network management system.
The data of the network management system is used when the gate management system fails or when a plurality of persons enter and leave the room at the same time as described above, and is used for calculating the network operation rate.
When replenishing the occupancy rate calculation system 1 to the network management system data, the attendance time is a time obtained by subtracting a fixed time t1 from the first login time Ti of each worker in the network system on the first day, and the last logout time It is necessary to replenish the time obtained by adding the predetermined time t2 to To as the work leaving time.
This is because there is usually a time lag of several tens of seconds to several minutes between the time of entering the room and the time of starting the PC or the like, or the time of leaving the PC after stopping the PC or the like.
The fixed times t1 and t2 are applied by calculating the average performance value of the indoor members or calculating the average performance value for each worker.
[0017]
Here, the occupancy rate and the network operation rate are calculated according to the following criteria.
<Occupancy ratio> The occupancy ratio refers to the ratio (n / S) or (n / N) of the number of occupants n at the present time to the number S of enrolled persons or the number N of attendees. The former is Z1, and the latter is Z2. Since the enrollment number S is usually a fixed value in a certain period, it is a value obtained regardless of the gate management system. Since the number N of attendances is a numerical value that changes day by day, the numerical value is obtained from the management server 30.
Here, the number of attendees N = (the number Ng of ID numbers until the current time recognized by the gate management system ) + (the number Nn of ID numbers until the current time recognized by the network management system ) − (Ng and Nn Of duplicate ID numbers). Further, the number of occupants n = N− (the total number of ID numbers of the evacuated persons at the time of the day recognized by the gate management system ). The number of occupants n is a numerical value that changes over time, and is assumed to be captured when the occupancy rate is calculated.
Therefore, the occupancy rate is
Z1 = (n / S) × 100 (%) or Z2 = (n / N) × 100 (%).
[0018]
<Network operation rate> The network operation rate refers to the ratio (nu / Nu) or (nu / n) of the number of terminals nu activated at the current time to the number of installed terminals Nu or the number of occupants n. The former is K1, and the latter is K2. The number of installed terminals Nu is usually a fixed value in a certain period. Therefore, K1 can be calculated regardless of the numerical value obtained from the gate management system. The number of activated terminals nu = the total number of ID numbers currently logged in recognized by the network management system . Since the number of activated terminals nu and the number of occupants n are numerical values that change with time, they are assumed to be captured at the time of calculating the network operation rate. Both can be calculated from numerical values obtained from a management server or network management system. The numerical value obtained from the gate management system is referred only when n is calculated. Therefore, network availability is
K1 = (nu / Nu) × 100 (%) or K2 = (nu / n) × 100 (%).
[0019]
FIG. 5 shows the entry / exit situation and login / logout situation of a certain computer department employee, and FIG.
The number of enrolled persons S = 20 and the number of installed terminals Nu = 22.
In FIG. 5, the number of people n in the room is 17 from 10 am to 11:45, and this is the number N of workers on this day.
The occupancy rate Z2 in this case is Z2 in FIG. On the other hand, since the enrollment number S = 20, the occupancy rate Z1 is Z1 in FIG.
The decrease in the number of occupants between 12:00 am and 1:00 pm is due to the lunch break, but the occupancy rate in the afternoon is lower than in the morning.
[0020]
In FIG. 5, the number of activation terminals nu is 14 at the maximum in the morning and 12 at the afternoon. The network operation rates K1 and K2 in this case are as shown in FIG.
As for the network operation rate, 62% is the highest in the case of K1, and 81% is the highest in the case of K2. Although it is a reasonable numerical value for K2, it can be seen that the ratio of the number of installed terminals is slightly larger than the number of terminals where K1 is activated.
By outputting and collecting such data over several days or months, it is possible to determine the cause of the low occupancy rate, the determination of proper staffing, or the appropriateness of the number of terminal devices installed from the network operation rate.
The management server 30 is loaded with software that handles the data as described above, calculates the occupancy rate and the network operation rate, calculates the results every day or every month, and graphs and outputs them.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the occupancy rate calculation system and the network operation rate calculation system according to the present invention, data is acquired from systems close to the workplace, that is, the gate management system and the network management system. It is possible to calculate the occupancy rate and the network operation rate in accordance with the actual situation of the working workplace.
In addition, since both the gate management system and the network management system are coordinated, data loss and leakage are less likely to occur.
Since the occupancy rate and network operation rate can be grasped on a regular basis, it will lead to appropriate staffing and equipment introduction.
