  Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration example of a network environment in which the terminal device usage time management program according to the first embodiment is used. In FIG. 1, a terminal device usage time management program 142 according to the present invention is installed in the terminal device 10, and the terminal device 10 communicates with the management server 30 via the network 20, a hard disk. And a storage device 12, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 13, a memory 14, and a clock 15. Similarly, the management server 30 includes a communication interface 31, a storage device 32 such as a hard disk, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 33, a memory 34, and a clock 35.
As the terminal device 10, in addition to a personal computer supplied to a worker or the like, a PDA (personal digital assistant) can be considered.
The storage device 12 includes a program storage area 121, a data log 122, and usage time management program data 123. Further, as the usage time management program data 123, a storage area for an unsent log 124 and read information 125. Is secured. The program storage area 121 stores a program necessary for using the terminal device 10, and also stores a log recording program and a terminal device usage time management program according to the present invention.
In the memory 14, a storage area of a log recording program 141 that records the processing contents of the terminal device 10 and a history such as a warning as a data log 122 in the storage device 12, and the terminal device usage time management according to the present invention. A storage area for the program 142 and a storage area for the transmission data 143 are secured. When the terminal device 10 is activated, the basic software (OS) is started up, and the CPU 13 performs a process of reading the log recording program and the terminal device usage time management program according to the present invention from the program storage area 121, respectively. It is stored as a certain log recording program 141 or terminal device usage time management program 142.
The management server 30 has a function of decrypting the transmission data 143 received by the communication interface 31 and additionally recording the content in the terminal device usage time management data 321 in the storage device 32. Is stored in the storage device 32 as user information 322.

The log recording program 141 operates while the terminal device 10 is activated. When a failure occurs, the log recording program 141 is automatically provided so that the reason why the failure has occurred can be analyzed. Range events are to be recorded. That is, the history of processing contents and warnings of the terminal device 10 is recorded as the data log 122 one by one. Generally, the event log cannot be deleted unless the computer has registry access rights. Further, it is impossible to delete only a part of the entries in the log, and it is difficult to delete or rewrite only entries that are inconvenient for the user from the event log.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of extracting a part of a system log recorded on Windows, which is an OS of Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft and Windows are both registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation). The system log 2 records the date, time, event ID, etc. For example, when the event log service is started at the time of startup, “6005” is recorded as the event ID (2a, 2c, 2e), and a normal shutdown is performed. “6006” is recorded as the event ID (2b) when it is interrupted, and “6008” is recorded as the event ID (2d) when it is terminated without performing a normal shutdown. Therefore, the start time and stop time of the terminal device 10 can be grasped by referring to the system log 2.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a process flow of the terminal device usage time management program 142 according to the first embodiment. The terminal device usage time management program 142 starts at a predetermined timing, reads the data log 122 from the storage device 12 and extracts the start time / stop time of the terminal device 10, and the unsent log to the storage device 12 When 124 is recorded, the unsent log 124 is read from the storage device 12, and the unsent log 124 is recorded in the storage device 12 with the extracted start time / stop time and information of the unsent log 124. If not, the procedure 2 for generating the transmission data 143 with the extracted start time / stop time, the procedure 3 for transmitting the transmission data 143 to the management server 30 through the communication interface 11, When transmission of the transmission data 143 to the management server 30 fails, an unsent log 124 is generated using the information of the transmission data 143. Constituted by the procedure 4 to be recorded in the storage device 12.

The processing in step 1 will be described in detail. The terminal device usage time management program 142 is activated at a preset timing (step S11). Besides installing the terminal device usage time management program 142 in the terminal device 10, rewriting the automatic startup registry specified by the OS so that the program is started at the login timing of the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 may be activated at the logout timing, activated at a specified time, or activated at the timing when the network 20 is connected. Then, the data log 122 is read, and “6005” (record when the event log service is started at the time of startup) and “6006” (record when the normal shutdown is performed) from the system log 2 as the event ID. , “6008” (record when finished without a normal shutdown) is searched (step S13), and the start time and stop time of the terminal device 10 are extracted (step S14), that is, the example of FIG. In other words, the records 2a to 2e are extracted.
In step S11, if the terminal device usage time management program 142 is started at the login timing of the terminal device 10, the event log is read prior to normal use of the terminal device 10, and A log of the shutdown (including the case of exiting without a normal shutdown) and a log of the login always remain in the event log. Therefore, even if the user intentionally deletes the event log (data log), either the transmission of the transmission data 143 to the management server 30 or the recording of the unsent log 124 to the storage device 12 is already processed. Therefore, there is no problem in managing the working hours of the user who uses the computer.

In step 1, after reading the data log 122, the range of the read data log 122 is recorded in the storage device 12 as read information 125, and the terminal device usage time management program 142 is started next time. In this case, it is preferable to read the read information 125 from the storage device 12 and extract the start time / stop time of the terminal device 10 from the data log 122 that has not been read. Specifically, after step S14, the date and time of activation is recorded in the storage device 12 as read information 125 (step S15), and the next time the terminal device usage time management program 142 is activated, step S13 is executed. Prior to reading, the read information 125 is read, and in step S13, the data log 122 may be read from events after the date and time of the previous activation. As an example of the data structure of the read-in information 125, the date and time of activation may be recorded as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when “2007/7/1 8:25:30” is recorded as the date and time, the start time and the stop time of the terminal device 10 are extracted from the event indicating the subsequent time. Therefore, in step S14, records of 2b, 2c, 2d and 2e are extracted in the example of FIG.
In this way, the range of the read data log is recorded in the storage device, and when it is started next time, the start time and stop time are extracted from the data log that has not been read. Can be kept to a minimum.

  Subsequently, the processing in step 2 will be described in detail. It is confirmed whether or not the unsent log 124 remains in the storage device 12 (step S21). If the unsent log 124 does not remain in the recording device 12 (" In the case of “no”, the transmission data 143 is generated from the start time / stop time of the terminal device 10 extracted in step S14 and stored in the memory 14 (step S25). As an example of the data structure of the transmission data 143, as shown in FIG. 5, the records corresponding to the start time (2c and 2e in FIG. 2) are recorded as the start time of each date (5c and 5e), respectively, and at the stop time Corresponding records (2b and 2d in FIG. 2) are recorded as stop times for each date (5b and 5d). If the unsent log 124 remains in the recording device 12 (if “Yes” in step S21), the unsent log 124 is read from the storage device 12 (step S22), and the read result and extracted in step S14. The start time and stop time of the terminal device 10 that have been connected are combined (step S23). Then, transmission data 143 is generated from the combined result and stored in the memory 14 (step S25).

In step 2, when the unsent log 124 is recorded in the storage device 12, it is preferable that the unsent log 124 is deleted from the storage device 12 after the unsent log 124 is read. . More specifically, after step S23, the unsent log 124 is deleted from the storage device 12 (step S24).
In this way, since the unsent log that is no longer needed is deleted from the storage device as needed, it is possible to reduce the chance of data peeping and modification by the user of the terminal device.

Subsequently, the processing of the procedure 3 will be described in detail. The transmission data 143 stored in the memory 14 is read and transmitted to the management server 30 via the communication interface 11 and the network 20 (step S31). Then, the return code from the management server 30 is received via the communication interface 11, and the success or failure of the transmission is confirmed based on the return code (step S32).
The management server 30 decodes the transmission data 143 received by the communication interface 31 and additionally records the contents in the terminal device usage time management data 321 in the storage device 32. When the management server 30 receives the transmission data 143, identification information (for example, an IP address) of the terminal device 10 that is the transmission source is added. Therefore, the identification information is added to the terminal device usage time management data 321. Record them together. FIG. 6A shows a data configuration example of the terminal device usage time management data 321. When the transmission data 143 as shown in FIG. 5 is received, the IP address of the terminal device 10 is added to the received date, start time, and stop time, and the existing record 6c of the terminal device usage time management data 321 is added. Three lines of data (6a) are additionally recorded. FIG. 6B shows a data configuration example of the user data 322. In the user data 322, the IP address of the terminal device 10 and information such as the employee ID and name of the user who uses the terminal device 10 are recorded for the necessary number of people. The management server 30 collates the IP address recorded in the terminal device usage time management data 321 with the IP address recorded in the user data 322, thereby determining who and when the terminal device 10 was activated and stopped. It becomes possible to grasp.

Subsequently, the processing of the procedure 4 will be described in detail. When the success of the transmission is confirmed in step S32 (Yes in step S41), the terminal device usage time management program 142 is terminated. On the other hand, when the success of the transmission could not be confirmed in step S32 (in the case of No in step S41), the content of the transmission data 143 is read from the memory 14 and is stored in the storage device 12 as an untransmitted log 124. Recording is performed (step S42), and the terminal device usage time management program 142 is terminated.
As described above, when the data log is collected at a predetermined timing, the start / stop time of the terminal device is grasped and transmitted to the management server via the network, and communication with the management server cannot be performed. This is stored in the terminal device as an unsent log, and the unsent log is also sent to the management server at the next predetermined timing. Therefore, even when the data log is erased in a situation where it is not always connected to the network, the working hours of the user who uses the computer can be managed. In addition, there is no need to purchase parts or hardware modifications, and without altering the hardware environment of a commercially available computer, that is, the work of the user who uses the computer only by software support. Time etc. can be managed.

In step 4, when transmission of the transmission data 143 to the management server 30 fails, an unsent log is generated and then encrypted and recorded in the storage device 12. In step 2, Further, when the unsent log 124 is recorded in the storage device 12, the unsent log 124 is read from the storage device 12, and sent with the decrypted information and the extracted start time / stop time. It is preferable to generate the credit data 143. More specifically, the transmission data 143 is encrypted in step S42 and recorded as an untransmitted log 124. After the untransmitted log 124 is read in step S22, it is decrypted. .
As described above, since the encryption is performed when the unsent log is recorded in the storage device, it is possible to make it impossible for the user of the terminal device to look into and modify the data.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the thing which becomes the same function and structure as Example 1, it shall attach | subject the same code | symbol and abbreviate | omit detailed description.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration example of a network environment in which the terminal device usage time management program according to the second embodiment is used. The difference from FIG. 1 is that the storage device 12 further includes a storage area for user identification information 127 such as the name and ID of the person who uses the terminal device 10, and the transmission data 143 stored in the memory 14 is stored in the storage device 12. Instead of the storage area, a storage area for the transmission data 126 is secured in the storage device 12. Since the user identification information 127 is recorded in the terminal device 10, the management server 30 does not need to record the information of the user data 322.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a process flow of the terminal device usage time management program according to the second embodiment. 3 is different from FIG. 3 in that the terminal device usage time management program 142 further includes a procedure 0 in which user identification information 127 such as the name and ID of the person who uses the terminal device 10 is recorded in the storage device 12 in advance as an initial setting. In the procedure 2, the user identification information 127 is further read from the storage device 12 and this information is added to the transmission data 126. Further, in step 2, the terminal device usage time management program 142 further generates the transmission data 126 and then records it in the storage device 12. In step 3, the terminal device usage time management program 142 further stores the transmission data 126 from the storage device 12. Is transmitted to the management server 30. In step 4, when transmission of the transmission data 126 to the management server 30 fails, the transmission data 126 is generated after the unsent log 124 is generated. Is deleted from the storage medium 12 and when the transmission of the transmission data 126 to the management server 30 is successful, the transmission data 126 is deleted from the storage device 12.

  When the processing of the procedure 0 is described in detail, when the terminal device usage time management program 142 is installed, the setting program starts, and in addition to the IP address of the management server 30, the employee ID and name of the user who uses the terminal device 10 Such identification information is input (step S01). The input result is recorded in the storage device 12 as user identification information 127 (step S02). A data configuration example of the user identification information 127 is as shown in FIG. When updating the information of the user who uses the terminal device 10, the setting program is started again, the IP address and identification information are re-input in step S01, and the user recorded in the storage device 12 in step S02. The identification information 127 may be updated.

Subsequently, the processing in step 2 will be described in detail. When the untransmitted log 124 does not remain in the recording device 12 (in the case of “No” in step S21), the user identification information 127 is read from the storage device 12, The user identification information 127 is added to the start time / stop time of the terminal device 10 extracted in step S14 to generate the transmission data 126 and store it in the storage device 12 (step S25 ′). When the unsent log 124 remains in the recording device 12 (in the case of “Yes” in step S21), after step S23, the user identification information 127 is read from the storage device 12 and combined in step S23. Is added with the user identification information 127 to generate the transmission data 126 and store it in the storage device 12 (step S25 ').
As an example of the data structure of the transmission data 126, as shown in FIG. 10, the start time (5c, 5e) and stop time (5b, 5d) of each date are recorded as in FIG. The identification information 5f such as the employee ID and name of the user who uses the password is also recorded.

  Subsequently, the processing of the procedure 3 will be described in detail. When the transmission data 126 is transmitted to the management server 30 in step S31 ′, the IP address of the management server 30 is recorded in the transmission data 126. Even in a network environment in which a plurality of servers 30 are installed, the transmission data 126 can be reliably transmitted to the management server 30 of the designated IP address.

  Subsequently, the processing in step 4 will be described in detail. When the success of the transmission is confirmed in step S32 (in the case of Yes in step S41), the transmission data 126 is deleted from the storage device 12 (step S43), and the terminal The apparatus usage time management program 142 is terminated. On the other hand, when the success of the transmission could not be confirmed in step S32 (in the case of No in step S41), the content of the transmission data 126 is read from the storage device 12, and this is used as the unsent log 124 as the storage device 12. (Step S42 '), the transmission data 126 is deleted from the storage device 12 (step S43), and the terminal device usage time management program 142 is terminated.

  In this way, user identification information such as name and ID is added to the transmission data and transmitted to the management server, so that central management of working hours and the like by the management server is facilitated. In addition, since the transmission data that is no longer needed is deleted from the storage device as needed, it is possible to reduce the chance of data peeping and modification by the user of the terminal device.

  In step 2, it is preferable that the transmission data 126 is further generated and then encrypted and recorded in the storage device 12 in step S25 '. In the management server 30, the transmission data 126 received by the communication interface 31 is decrypted and decrypted, and the contents are additionally recorded in the terminal device usage time management data 321 in the storage device 32. As described above, since encryption is performed when the transmission data is recorded in the storage device, it is possible to make it impossible for the user of the terminal device to look into or modify the data.

  The present invention can be used as it is in the form of managing work hours from the time of starting / stopping a computer used by an employee, as well as in attendance management at a school.
