JP5151291B2 - Time card and time recorder using the time card - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a time card and a time recorder that uses the time card, more specifically, a time card that can cut out a predetermined part of a time card that is normally used, and a predetermined part of the time card that is cut out. It is related with the time recorder which recognizes the time card as a special setting card.

Conventionally, in a time recorder that inserts a time card for each individual with an identification code into the insertion slot and records the time of work or work and records and records the work time for each individual, creating a takeover card, Special setting mode processing such as change of working hours (shift), data deletion, and clock time correction, and processing such as creation, change, deletion, setting lock and release, etc. The operation must be performed by calling these modes by operating a plurality of keys, which is troublesome. Therefore, a time recorder that can perform these processes by inserting a special setting card without performing troublesome key operations is already known (for example, Patent Document 1). In this time recorder, a special setting card can be created from a normally used time card by performing operations such as simultaneous pressing of two key buttons of the time recorder in order to activate the special setting cart creation system. is there.
JP 2004-78423 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that in the above-mentioned system, it is necessary to press a key button of a time recorder in order to create a special setting card. There was also a problem that an extra card called a special setting card had to be made separately.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and it is necessary to prepare a special setting card that can be easily transformed into a special setting card without any special operation by the employee's own time card. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a time card and a time recorder that uses the time card so that processing such as card transfer can be performed without bothering an administrator.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a time recorder according to the present invention is a time recorder that stamps and prints time such as employee's time to work, and cuts out a predetermined part of the time card in use, thereby making the time card a special setting card And the special setting card is recognized as a transfer card that allows the employee data set for the time card in use to be transferred to the new time card .

  In addition, the time recorder recognizes that the special setting card is a time card that is printed in a manner different from the manner in which the predetermined portion of the time card is not cut out, and the time card corresponding to the regular employee and the part-time employee The printing may be made separately for the time card corresponding to.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the time card according to the present invention is a time card on which a time such as an employee's attendance is stamped and printed, by cutting a predetermined part of the time card in use. Is a special setting card, and is characterized in that it can be used as a takeover card for transferring employee data set for the time card to a new time card.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily change a time card that is normally used to a special setting card, and it is possible to reduce useless expenses by preparing a special setting card separately.

In addition , the time recorder recognizes that it is a takeover card and performs the takeover process with a simple task of cutting out a predetermined part of the time card, so even if you are not an administrator, information on the time card that the employee is using is new Therefore, it is possible to provide a time recorder that does not bother the administrator during busy hours at the end of the month.

According to the invention of claim 2 , although the time recorder is a time card of the same format, it can be easily determined whether it is a time card for a regular employee or a card for a part-time employee depending on whether a predetermined part of the card is cut or not. Judgment printing can be performed by changing the printing method, and it is possible to deal with all employees with cards of the same format without preparing separate time cards.

According to the invention of claim 3, since it is possible to cut out a predetermined part of the time card, it is possible to change the usage method even if it is the same time card by enabling the time recorder to determine whether or not it has been cut out. can do.

  FIG. 1 (a) shows an example of a time card 1 according to the present invention, and this time card 1 can be used to make a regular setting card 1 'easy for an employee or the like to use. It is comprised as follows. This transformation can be performed by cutting out a predetermined portion 3 according to the change instruction section 2 provided on the time card 1, and the change instruction section 2 may be formed by perforations so that it can be easily cut by hand. In addition, this change instruction | indication part 2 may be formed by printing of a broken line etc. so that the cutting part 3 may be understood with a scissors or a puncher.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the time card 1 in which a predetermined portion (hereinafter referred to as a cut-out portion) 3 of the time card 1 is cut in accordance with the change instruction portion 2 has an identification code D unique to the card. Since it is located on the same line as the punch hole 4 that constitutes, it is possible to detect whether or not the cut portion 3 has been cut by a sensor (for example, a transmissive photo interrupter) for detecting the punch hole 4, and this detection Thus, the time recorder is configured to determine whether or not the time card 1 is transformed into a special setting card 1 ′.

  By the way, the time card 1 is provided with a card-specific identification code D composed of punch holes 4 so that the time recorder can distinguish it from other time cards. When nine punch holes 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the card, 256,000 kinds of identification codes D can be set with 18 punch holes 4 so that 256,000 time cards 1 can be created. It has become.

  Therefore, when the employee's personal data (name, work system, etc.) and the identification code D of the time card 1 are associated with each other and stored in the memory at the initial stage, and the month changes and the new time card 1 is used, It is necessary to transfer the personal data corresponding to the identification code D of the time card 1 used so far to the identification code D of the new time card 1.

  At this time, the pattern of the punch hole 4 of the new time card 1 does not always match the pattern of the punch hole 4 of the time card 1 used so far (to select appropriately from 256,000 patterns). The same employee uses the time card 1 having a different identification code, and even if the card has a different identification code D, a process called takeover is performed in order to make the time recorder recognize that the card is the same employee. There is a need. For this purpose, a separate takeover card (not shown) is prepared. After the takeover card is inserted into the time recorder so that the time recorder can take over, the time card 1 used so far is inserted. The identification code D of the time card 1 is read, the employee's personal data corresponding to the identification code D is read from the memory, and the read personal data (employee name, work system, etc.) is printed on the new time card 1, It is assumed that the identification code D of the time card 1 used so far and the identification code D of the time card 1 used from now on are the same employees.

  In order to allow the time recorder to recognize that the takeover card is a takeover card, a punch hole 4 having a special pattern may be prepared separately. However, in the present invention, the cutout portion 3 of the timecard 1 is cut out. A case where the special setting card 1 ′ created in this way is applied to a takeover card will be described.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), since the perforation is provided as the change instruction unit 2 so that the cutout unit 3 of the time card 1 is torn off by hand, the employee is approaching the end of the month. If you want to make next month's time card 1 in advance, tear off the cut-out part 3 of the time card 1 that has been used so far according to the perforation 2, and the state as shown in FIG. If the time card 1 is inserted into the time recorder, programming is performed so that the time recorder can recognize that the inserted time card 1 is a takeover card.

  2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system of the time recorder. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 is a CPU (control unit), 11 is a clock circuit, 12 is a ROM, 13 is a RAM, and the CPU 10 is a clock. The time card 1 is read by reading the time information from the circuit 11 and displaying the time, day of the week, date, etc. on the display unit 14 and controlling the motor drive circuit 15 to rotationally drive the card feed motor 16 in both forward and reverse directions. The time is printed on the time card 1 by the printer 18 by controlling the printer driving circuit 17.

  Further, the CPU 10 includes a card insertion detection sensor 20 for detecting a card inserted in the time recorder, a card position detection sensor 21 for detecting the amount of time card 1 fed by the card feed motor 16, and an identification code for the time card 1. An identification code reading unit 22 for reading D, an operation button 23, and the like are provided.

  The identification code reading unit 22 is configured by a transmissive photo interrupter that detects the presence or absence of the punch hole 4 formed in the time card 1. The CPU 10 determines the time card 1 from the pattern of the punch hole 4 detected by the identification code reading unit 22. A unique identification code D can be recognized.

  Reference numeral 25 denotes a USB interface, and 26 denotes a memory card reader / writer, which transfers data in the RAM to a computer connected to a cable or a memory card inserted into a memory card slot, and writes data to the RAM. be able to.

  The ROM 12 (EEPROM) stores a time recorder control program, a planned shift indicating the working hours of an individual monthly schedule, and an LST (date change time) corresponding to each shift number.

  The time recorder control program in the ROM 12 has a function of switching the date change time according to the working hours of the monthly schedule for each individual written in the ROM 12 in addition to the function of card driving, time printing and time counting. It has a function of printing on the time card 1 a number indicating a work system that is a working time zone.

  Further, the RAM 13 temporarily stores data used for control of the time recorder control program, printing operation on the time card 1, date change, and other data that changes depending on the date.

  Next, the takeover process by the time recorder will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The control unit 10 waits for the time card 1 to be inserted into the time recorder (step ST1). When the time card 1 is inserted, the control unit 10 proceeds to step ST2 to determine whether or not the time card cutting unit 3 has been cut (identification). Whether the code reading unit 22 senses transmission of light at the cutout unit), and if there is no light transmission, it is determined that the cutout unit 3 is a normal time card 1 that has not been cut off, and the process proceeds to step ST3. The current time is printed at the designated position, the card that has been printed is ejected (step ST4), and the process returns to step ST1 to wait for the next card to be inserted.

  If there is a notch, the process proceeds to step ST5 to determine whether or not this notched card is the first card inserted this month (step ST5), and if this card is first inserted into the time recorder, It is determined that this card is a special setting card (takeover card) 1 ', and the process proceeds to step ST6, where personal data corresponding to the identification code of this card is read from the ROM 12 and stored in the RAM 13 in order to carry out the takeover process. The card is ejected (step ST7), and a request message for prompting insertion of a new card is displayed on the display unit 14 (step ST8).

  The employee takes out one arbitrary time card from the rack in which the new time card is stored, and inserts the new time card 1 thus taken out into the time recorder (step ST9).

  When a new time card is inserted, the control unit 10 prints personal data such as the employee's name and work system on this card as a card to be used for the next month, and the identification code D read from the new card. The identification code D of the old card is linked and stored in the memory, and when this card is inserted and the identification code D of the card is read, the employee whose identification code D corresponds to the identification code D of the old card (Step ST10).

  When linking to a new time card is completed, the time card is discharged (step ST11), and the process returns to step ST1 to wait for the next card to be inserted.

  In addition, since this work will be concentrated when the work of changing all the employees' cards in use at the end of the month to the takeover card at the end of the month, it is preferable that the takeover card can be created in advance. In this case, a part of the time card 1 is cut out to be a takeover card, but this time card 1 must be used as a normal time card 1 as before until the month changes, so step ST5. Then, it is determined whether or not the card has been read for the first time. If the card has already been read and the transfer is over to the new card, it is not necessary to carry out the transfer process, so the process proceeds to step ST3 and is the same as the normal time card 1. The time may be printed at a designated position (such as the sunrise duty column or the withdrawal column), and the printed card may be ejected.

  As described above, the administrator or general affairs staff can create the next month's time card by themselves without having to create the next month's time card for all employees. So you can concentrate on the work you have to do at the end of the month.

  In addition, although the case where a time recorder judges using the above-mentioned special setting card 1 'as a takeover card was explained, when both a regular employee and a part-time employee use the same type of time card, the time recorder uses which employee. It is good also as a time card which enabled it to identify whether it is a time card.

  In general, full-time employees can stamp on the time card 1 only when they go to work or leave, and part-time employees can stamp on the time card 1 when they leave the office during lunch break in addition to entering or leaving work. When the predetermined part is torn and inserted into the time recorder, the time recorder determines that this time card 1 is a regular employee time card 1 and, as shown in FIG. The first column and the fourth column are the date columns, the second column and the fifth column are the attendance time columns, the third column and the sixth column are the leaving time columns, and the card so that the leaving time is stamped. Can be transformed into a 1-month printed card on the front and back of column 2. For employees, one side of the time card can be used to grasp the status of one month's attendance and leaving, and only one side can be used to make a copy of the time card. You just have to copy it It is possible to achieve a reduction in costs.

  Further, when the predetermined part is inserted into the time recorder without breaking, the time recorder determines that the time card 1 is the time card 1 of the part-time employee, and as shown in FIG. The first column is the date field, the second to fourth columns are the work hours, the leaving time, the entering time, and the leaving time, so that the entry and exit times are stamped four times. Can be used as a card.

  As mentioned above, since it is possible to easily set the employee time card and the part-time employee time card depending on whether or not a predetermined part is cut out even though it is the same time card, there is no need to make a separate time card. This makes it easier to manage time card inventory.

  FIG. 5A shows another example of a time card. This time card 1 has a circular change instructing section 2 formed by printing or perforation at the lower center of the card and designated by the change instructing section 2. The cut portion 3 may be cut out by a hole punch or the like at the place where the cut is made, or the cut portion 3 may be cut by hand along the perforation to make a special setting card 1 ′ (see FIG. 5B). In the time recorder using this card, a transmissive photo interrupter is arranged at a position corresponding to the change instruction unit 2, and when the photo interrupter detects that the cut unit 3 is cut, the control unit It is sufficient to recognize that the time card is a special setting card.

  As described above, an employee can turn a time card into a special setting card by cutting out a predetermined part of the time card that he / she is using, and what functions the special setting card has. This can be set freely on the time recorder side. Moreover, employees who actually use the time card can easily transform their time card into a special setting card without bothering the administrator, so it is necessary to prepare a special setting card separately. Card management and work efficiency can be improved.

  Of course, a plurality of cutout portions may be provided on one time card. For example, if two cutouts are provided, and each cutout can be made into a card with two modes corresponding to the takeover mode and the printing mode (for regular employees and for part-time employees), at the beginning of the month Depending on whether or not to cut the cut-out section for the print mode, you can set whether the time recorder recognizes the time recorder as a full-time employee time card or a part-timer time card, and at the end of the month, the cut-out section for the takeover mode Since the time card can be transformed into a takeover card by cutting the card, one time card can be transformed into a time card corresponding to two modes.
