Description

  The present invention relates to an attendance management program, an attendance management method, and an attendance management apparatus.

  Conventionally, in a company, an attendance management system is used in order to grasp the status of employee leaving or leaving the company. By using the attendance management system, it is possible to efficiently manage the employee's leaving time and leaving time.

  The attendance management system includes, for example, a time card, a time card reading device, and a management device. When the employee connects the time card to the time card reading device, the time card reading device transmits the connected time to the management device. The management device records the time of leaving and leaving each employee. Here, the operation of connecting the time card to the time card reader and inputting the time may be referred to as “stamping”. Furthermore, the following are known as attendance management systems.

  For example, a non-contact IC (Integrated Circuit) card is used as a time card, and the time card is written over the time card by holding the time card over a reader / writer terminal. There is one in which data can be acquired collectively (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, when the reader / writer terminal detects a non-contact IC card provided in the mobile phone, it can transmit the address of the Web server, identification information, etc. to the mobile phone and register the attendance / leaving information from the mobile phone via the Web server. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  In addition, there is one that transmits registered attendance information to an administrator by e-mail (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  By the way, engraving with a time card involves operations such as inserting the time card into the reader / writer device and bringing it into contact. For this reason, employees may forget to stamp when leaving the company or leaving the company. In that case, since the memory of the employee fades as time passes, even if the employee is later requested to apply for the time to leave, it becomes difficult to properly manage the time to leave.

  The present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object thereof is to provide an attendance management program, an attendance management method, and an attendance management apparatus that can prevent the forgetting of engraving.

  An attendance management program that causes a computer to function as a wireless tag detection means, a time card detection means, and a notification means is provided. The wireless tag detection means detects a wireless tag in which identification information is recorded. The time card detection means accepts input of time using a time card in which identification information is recorded. The notification means stores the contact information in association with the identification information when the time card detection means does not accept the input of the time by the time card within a predetermined time before and after the timing when the wireless tag detection means detects the wireless tag. With reference to the storage means, a message prompting the time card to input the time is notified to the contact corresponding to the identification information.

In addition, a time management method for managing time attendance by a computer is provided. In this attendance management method, a computer detects a wireless tag in which identification information is recorded, and accepts an input of time by a time card in which the identification information is recorded within a predetermined time before and after the timing at which the wireless tag is detected. If not, the storage means storing the contact information in association with the identification information is referred to, and a message prompting the time card to input the time is notified to the contact information corresponding to the identification information.

  Moreover, the attendance management apparatus which has a function similar to the computer which performs the said attendance management program is provided.

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an attendance management apparatus according to the first embodiment. The attendance management device 1 manages the time of leaving and leaving the company employees. The attendance management device 1 communicates with the wireless tag 2. The attendance management device 1 accepts a time stamp 3 input. The wireless tag 2 and the time card 3 are owned by the same employee. The same identification information is recorded on the wireless tag 2 and the time card 3. The identification information is information for identifying, for example, an employee who has the wireless tag 2 and the time card 3. The attendance management device 1 includes a storage unit 1a, a wireless tag detection unit 1b, a time card detection unit 1c, and a notification unit 1d.

The storage unit 1a stores a contact address in association with the identification information. The contact information is, for example, an e-mail address or a telephone number of an employee who has the wireless tag 2 and the time card 3.
The wireless tag detection unit 1b detects the wireless tag 2. The wireless tag detection means 1b acquires the identification information recorded on the wireless tag 2 when it is detected. Here, the wireless tag detection means 1b can wirelessly communicate with the wireless tag 2 in a non-contact manner, and the communication range can be from several centimeters to several meters. That is, if the wireless tag detection unit 1b and the wireless tag 2 are within a communicable range, the wireless tag detection unit 1b can detect the wireless tag 2. The wireless tag detection unit 1b may detect the wireless tag 2 via a communication device that wirelessly communicates with the wireless tag 2 and receives identification information from the wireless tag 2.

  The time card detection unit 1 c receives time input (stamping) using the time card 3. The time card detection means 1c acquires the identification information recorded on the time card 3 when it is detected. The time card detection means 1c may accept an input operation by the time card 3 and accept a time stamp by the time card 3 via a time card reader for reading the identification information.

  The notification unit 1d does not accept time input from the time card 3 in which the same identification information is recorded by the time card detection unit 1c within a predetermined time before and after the timing when the wireless tag detection unit 1b detects the wireless tag 2. Detect that. Then, referring to the storage unit 1 a, a message that prompts the time card 3 to stamp is notified to the contact corresponding to the identification information read from the wireless tag 2. For example, the notification unit 1d notifies the contact device 4 of a message. The contact device 4 is, for example, an information processing device, a mobile terminal device, a telephone, or the like used by an employee.

  According to the attendance management device 1, the time card detecting unit 1c uses the time card 3 in which the same identification information is recorded within a predetermined time before and after the timing when the wireless tag detecting unit 1b detects the wireless tag 2. Is not received by the notification means 1d. Then, the notification unit 1d refers to the storage unit 1a, and notifies the contact corresponding to the identification information of a message that prompts the time card 3 to stamp.

This can prevent employees from forgetting to write. Specifically, by encouraging employees to make a stamp, it is possible to encourage the employee to make a stamp later.
On the other hand, when not notifying the employee in this way, for example, after a long time has passed, it is conceivable to make the employee apply for the sunrise leaving time forgot to stamp. But over time, employees' memories fade. For this reason, the accuracy of the application for time to leave is reduced. Therefore, it is difficult to properly manage the time for leaving and leaving the company.

On the other hand, according to the attendance management device 1, the employee's time stamp can be urged as described above, so that the time for leaving and leaving the office can be managed appropriately.
The attendance management device 1 records the time (detection time) when the wireless tag 2 is detected in the storage device, and when the employee stamps after the message notification, the employee's output is based on the detection time. The leaving time may be settable. In this way, it is possible to more appropriately manage the time of entry / exit.

In the second embodiment described below, a time management system to which the time management device 1 is applied will be described more specifically as an example.
[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an attendance management system according to the second embodiment. This attendance management system manages the time of employees leaving and leaving the company. The employee has an IC card 51, a time card 52, and a mobile phone 53.

If there are a plurality of entrances (for example, entrances and entrance gates), each entrance is provided. The entrance / exit gate 10 has a tag R / W (Reader / Writer) device 11 and a time card reader 12.

  The tag R / W device 11 communicates wirelessly with a wireless tag 51a included in the IC card 51 in a contactless manner. The tag R / W device 11 receives the employee number from the wireless tag 51 a and outputs it to the attendance management device 100. The communication distance between the tag R / W device 11 and the wireless tag 51a can be several centimeters to several meters.

  The time card reader 12 accepts a time stamp using the time card 52 by an employee. For example, the time stamping is performed by inserting the time card 52 into a card insertion slot provided in the time card reader 12. At that time, the time card reader 12 reads the employee number from the time card 52 by reading the barcode on the surface of the inserted time card 52. The time card reading device 12 outputs the read employee number to the attendance management device 100.

  The time card reader 12 includes a display and a touch panel provided on the display. For example, the employee can input to the time card reader 12 by referring to the content displayed on the display and touching the touch panel. The entrance / exit gate 10 may be provided with such a display and a touch panel separately from the time card reader 12. In that case, an input to the touch panel is input to the time card reader 12.

  The attendance management device 100 receives the employee number output by the tag R / W device 11 and the time card reader 12. The attendance management device 100 records the time at which the employee number is received and manages the employee's time to leave.

  The attendance management device 100 is connected to the base station 30 via the network 20. The base station 30 is a wireless communication device that communicates with the mobile phone 53. The attendance management device 100 notifies a message by voice or electronic mail to the mobile phone 53 or the like via the network 20 and the base station 30.

  The RAM 103 temporarily stores at least a part of an OS (Operating System) program and application programs to be executed by the CPU 101. The RAM 103 stores various data necessary for processing by the CPU 101.

  The HDD 104 stores an OS program and application programs. The HDD 104 stores various data necessary for processing by the CPU 101. Instead of the HDD 104 (or in combination with the HDD 104), another type of storage device such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) may be used.

  The R / W device interface 105 is connected to the tag R / W device 11 and the time card reader 12. The R / W device interface 105 transmits signals sent from the tag R / W device 11 and the time card reader 12 to the CPU 101.

The graphic processing device 106 is connected to the monitor 21. The graphic processing device 106 displays an image on the screen of the monitor 21 in accordance with a command from the CPU 101.
The input interface 107 is connected to the keyboard 22 and the mouse 23. The input interface 107 transmits signals sent from the keyboard 22 and the mouse 23 to the CPU 101.

  The recording medium reading device 108 is a reading device that reads data recorded on the recording medium 24. For example, a function that the attendance management apparatus 100 should have can be realized by a computer executing a program that describes the processing content of the function. The program can be recorded and distributed on a computer-readable recording medium 24.

  As the recording medium 24, for example, a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, or a semiconductor memory can be used. Magnetic recording devices include HDDs, flexible disks (FD), magnetic tapes, and the like. Optical disks include CD (Compact Disc), CD-R (Recordable) / RW (ReWritable), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), DVD-R / RW / RAM, and the like. Magneto-optical recording media include MO (Magneto-Optical disk). Semiconductor memory includes flash memory such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory.

  Further, the program may be stored in a program distribution server (not shown) connected to the network 20. In this case, the attendance management device 100 can download the program from the program distribution server via the network 20.

  The communication interface 109 is connected to the network 20. The communication interface 109 performs data communication with other information processing apparatuses via the network 20. The communication interface 109 performs data communication with the mobile phone 53 via the network 20 and the base station 30.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the attendance management apparatus. The attendance management device 100 includes a control information storage unit 110, an attendance information storage unit 120, a wireless tag detection unit 130, a time card detection unit 140, a notification unit 150, and a leaving / leaving time management unit 160. The functions of these units are realized on the attendance management apparatus 100 by the CPU 101 executing a predetermined program. However, all or part of the functions of these units may be realized by dedicated hardware.

  The control information storage unit 110 stores control information. The control information includes a company standard work time table, a scheduled time range table, a warning method definition table, and a warning sentence definition table. The company standard work time table is a table that defines a standard time for leaving and leaving the company. The scheduled leaving / exiting time range table is a table that defines a time range for determining whether it is near the standard time for leaving or leaving a company. The warning method definition table is a table that defines a message communication method for each employee. The warning sentence definition table is a table that defines the content of a message. Details of each table will be described later.

  The attendance information storage unit 120 stores attendance information. The attendance information includes an entry / exit time table and a gate passage time table. The attendance / leaving time table is a table that records the actual attendance / leaving time for each employee. The gate passage time table is a table that records the time (gate passage time) when passing through the entrance / exit gate 10 for each employee. Details of each table will be described later.

  The wireless tag detection unit 130 receives the employee number read from the wireless tag 51 a from the tag R / W device 11. As a result, the wireless tag detection unit 130 detects that the wireless tag 51a exists in the vicinity. The wireless tag detection unit 130 notifies the notification unit 150 of the detection. This notification includes the employee number received from the wireless tag detection unit 130. Further, the wireless tag detection unit 130 records the time at which the employee number is received in the attendance information storage unit 120 (gate passage time table).

  The time card detection unit 140 receives the employee number read from the time card 52 from the time card reading device 12. As a result, the time card detection unit 140 detects that the time card 52 has been engraved. The time card detection unit 140 notifies the notification unit 150 of the detection. This notification includes the employee number received from the time card detection unit 140. Moreover, the time card detection part 140 records the time which received the employee number in the attendance information storage part 120 (exit / leave time table).

  When the notification unit 150 receives a notification that the wireless tag 51a is detected from the wireless tag detection unit 130, the notification that the time card 52 is detected from the time card detection unit 140 is within a predetermined time stamping reception time. Determine. The stamping reception time is a predetermined time range before and after the timing at which the notification that the wireless tag 51a is detected is received. If the notification from the time card detection unit 140 is not within the stamping reception time, the notification unit 150 refers to the control information storage unit 110 to generate a predetermined message and notifies the mobile phone 53 or the like (referred to as a warning). ). When the notification from the time card detection unit 140 is within the time for accepting the time stamp, the message is not notified. In addition, the stamping reception time is, for example, several seconds (for example, the timing 30 seconds before and 15 seconds before and after the timing when the notification that the wireless tag 51a is detected is received) to several minutes (for example, the timing) It is conceivable that the total of the previous 5 minutes and the subsequent 5 minutes is 10 minutes). The range of the stamping reception time is stored in advance in the control information storage unit 110. Note that if the notification from the time card detection unit 140 is not within the stamping reception time, a warning may be given immediately, or a warning may be given after a predetermined warning standby time has elapsed.

  The attendance / leaving time management unit 160 corrects / complements the attendance / leaving time table stored in the storage unit based on the gate passage time table stored in the attendance information storage unit 120. Here, the correction (stamp correction) is the gate passage time recorded in the gate passage time table when the employee actually cuts within the predetermined permissible correction time after passing through the gate. Is used to make it possible to set the time stamp in the time table. Complement is the ability to set the time stamp in the time table for leaving and using the gate passage time recorded in the gate passage time table if the time is not stamped within the permissible time for stamp correction. To do.

Next, an example of the data structure of each table described above will be described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a data structure example of a company standard work time table. The company standard work time table 111 has items of date, work, standard time, and stamping correction allowable time. Information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other to indicate a standard time of entry / exit on one date.

  The date is set in the date field. In the work item, information indicating whether the day is a holiday or a normal work day is set. In the item of standard time, standard work time and work leaving time are set. In the item “permitted time for correction of stamping”, a time for allowing correction of stamping after warning is set.

  For example, in the company standard work time table 111, the date is “2011/4”, the work is “normal”, the standard time (going to work) is “08:00:00”, and the standard time (leaving) is “ The information is set such that the time of 17: 00: 00: 00, the permissible time for stamping correction (going to work) is “30 minutes”, and the permissible time of stamping correction (retirement) is “60 minutes”.

  This is the normal working day of January 4, 2011, the standard work time on that day is 8:00, and the standard work time is 17:00. When leaving the company, it indicates that the stamp correction is allowed for 60 minutes after the warning.

  Further, when the work item is “holiday”, it indicates that the day is a company holiday. When the item of work is “on-time leave”, it indicates that the day is a normal work day but should be left on time. When the item of work is “Foundation Anniversary”, it indicates that the day is a founding anniversary and a holiday.

Furthermore, an item whose standard time is “−” (hyphen) indicates that the standard time is not set because of a holiday.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the scheduled time range table. The entry / exit scheduled time range table 112 includes entry / exit gate installation locations, entry and exit items. The information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other, and indicates a time range in which one entry / exit gate determines the standard time.

  In the entry / exit gate installation location field, the location where the entrance / exit gate is installed is set. In the entry field, a time width before and after the scheduled office time (or standard office time) described later is set. In the item of leaving, a time width before and after the scheduled leaving time (or standard leaving time) described later is set.

  For example, in the scheduled leaving / exiting time range table 112, the entrance / exit gate installation location is “1st floor entrance”, leaving the office (before the scheduled time) is “10 minutes”, leaving the office (after the scheduled time) is “10 minutes”, leaving the office ( Information that “20 minutes” is set before (scheduled time) and “20 minutes” is set when leaving the office (after scheduled time).

  This indicates that at the entrance / exit gate installed at the first floor entrance, the scheduled office time is 10 minutes before and after the scheduled office time (or standard office time). For example, according to the company standard work time table 111, the standard office time on January 4, 2011 is 8:00. Therefore, 7:50 to 8:10 are assumed to be the scheduled office hours. Further, the entry / exit gate indicates that the planned leaving time is 20 minutes before and after the standard leaving time. For example, according to the company standard working time table 111, the standard leaving time on January 4, 2011 is 17:00. Therefore, it indicates that the scheduled leaving time is 16:40 to 17:20.

  Here, although the example of the company standard work time table 111 has been described, the scheduled time for each employee is set in the work time table to be described later. When the scheduled time is set in the leaving / leaving time table, the scheduled time is used over the standard time to obtain the range of the scheduled leaving / leaving time. The method for obtaining the range of scheduled leaving / exiting time is the same as the above-described calculation method for the standard time.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the warning method definition table. The warning method definition table 113 includes items of employee number, warning method, warning destination, usage, warning standby time, and notified flag. Information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other to indicate a warning method for one employee.

  In the employee number field, an employee number is set. The warning method is set in the warning method item. The warning destination address and number are set in the warning destination item. The usage of warning is set in the usage item. The warning waiting time is set in the warning waiting time item. In the notified flag field, a flag indicating whether or not a warning by the warning method has been performed is set. The notified flag indicates that “1” indicates notified and “0” indicates not notified.

  For example, in the warning method definition table 113, the employee number “12345678”, the warning method is “e-mail”, the warning destination is “xxx@xxx.com”, the usage is “forgetting warning”, and the warning waiting time (going to work). Information indicating “0 minutes”, a warning waiting time (withdrawal) “10 minutes”, and a notified flag “1” are set.

  This is to use an e-mail in order to warn the employee with the employee number “12345678” of forgetting to write, and to send the e-mail address at that time to “xxx@xxx.com”. Show. Further, it indicates that the warning standby time for performing the warning is 0 minute at the time of leaving the office and 10 minutes at the time of leaving the office. Here, the warning waiting time of 0 minutes indicates that the warning is performed immediately after the stamping acceptance time has elapsed. Further, since the notified flag is “1”, it indicates that the warning by the electronic mail has already been performed.

  In addition, mobile telephones and extension telephones are also set as methods for alerting employees with the employee number “12345678” to forget to stamp. If a plurality of warning methods are defined in this way, employees can be warned with a plurality of warning methods. In the example of the warning method definition table 113, it is assumed that the higher the warning priority is, the higher the warning method is set above. Then, the warning method is changed in the order of priority, e-mail, mobile phone, extension telephone, etc. In this way, the possibility of receiving a warning by the employee himself / herself can be increased. The notified flag is useful for changing the warning method in this way and issuing warnings in order. In the warning method definition table 113, the warning method set above has a higher priority, but an item for setting the priority may be provided for each warning method.

  For extension telephones, the warning waiting time when leaving the office is set to “-” (hyphen). It is considered that the company is not in the company after leaving the office, and it is possible to notify the person directly even if the extension is contacted. This is because the nature is low.

  In addition, the use “application required notification” is used to notify that it is necessary to apply for a subsequent leave / exit time if the time is not stamped within the allowable time for stamp correction after warning. Show. The application for the time of leaving / exiting is performed, for example, when the employee inputs the time of leaving / exiting to the application system. After that, for example, after the approval of the approver, it is registered as the employee leaving time.

  Unlike the warning that the application should be performed, the application-required notification is made after the forgetting to write, so there is no waiting for warning. Therefore, in the case of notification requiring application, the warning standby time is not set to “−” (hyphen).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the warning sentence definition table. The warning sentence definition table 114 includes items of warning method, usage, format, and wording. The information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other to indicate information related to one warning sentence.

  The warning method is set in the warning method item. The usage of warning is set in the usage item. A data format is set in the format item. A message template is set in the wording item.

  For example, in the warning sentence definition table 114, the warning method is “e-mail”, the usage is “forgetting warning (going to work)”, the format is “text”, and the wording is “xxx year xx month xx day scheduled work time xx: xx time”. The card is forgotten, and should be engraved within nn minutes. "(This text is referred to as text M1 for convenience) is set.

  This is because, when a warning about forgetting to stamp is given by e-mail, the data format is a text format and the date “xx” or “nn” of the wording M1 is a specific date. Indicates that information is set and transmitted. Information to be set can be acquired by referring to the company standard work time table 111 and the gate passage time table (described later). For example, if you forgot to stamp at the time of the company's sunrise on January 4, 2011, “Forget to stamp at the time of 08:00 on January 4, 2011. The time card will be forgotten within 30 minutes. Please send me a message ". That is, in “xxxx year xx month xx day”, the value set in the year / month / day item of the company standard work time table 111 is set. In “scheduled work time xx: xx”, the value of the item of standard time (working time) in the table is set. In this example, the time is up to minutes, but notification may be made up to seconds. In “Please stamp within nn minutes.”, The value of the item “Permitted time for correction for correction (entering office)” in the company standard work time table 111 is set.

  In addition, although the case where it notifies with an e-mail was demonstrated, it is the same also when notified with an audio | voice. Specifically, a specific numerical value is set in the template set in the wording item to generate a message, and further, a voice that reads out the message is generated and notified.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the leaving / leaving time table. The entry / exit time table 121 includes items of employee number, date, work schedule, schedule time, and time stamp. The information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other, and indicates information of one employee's one-day leave time.

  In the employee number field, an employee number is set. The date is set in the date field. The work schedule of the employee is set in the work schedule item. As the scheduled time, the scheduled time for the employee to leave the sunrise is set. In the time stamping item, the time stamped when the employee leaves the office is set.

  For example, in the time table 121, the employee number is “12345678”, the date is “2011/4”, the work schedule is “normal”, and the scheduled time (going to work) is “08:00:00”. , The information that the scheduled time (leaving) is “17:05:00”, the stamping time (working) is “07:55:00”, and the stamping time (leaving) is “18:30:00” is set. .

  This indicates that January 4, 2011 is a normal working day for the employee with the employee number “12345678”, the scheduled departure time is 8:00, and the scheduled leaving time is 17:05. Further, it is shown that the time stamped at the time of leaving the office is 7:59, and the time stamped at the time of leaving the office is 18:30.

  There is also an item for which “forgetting to be stamped” is set as the stamping time. Specifically, the item of the stamping time (withdrawal) of the record in which the employee number “12345678” and the date “2011/1/5” are set, the employee number “78901234”, the date “2011” / 1/5 "is an item of time stamping (working) of a record. This indicates that the employee has forgotten to stamp when leaving or leaving the office on that date.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a data structure example of the gate passage time table. The gate passage time table 122 includes items of passage date, passage time, employee number, and passage place. Information arranged in the horizontal direction of each item is associated with each other to indicate one passage time information.

  The date when the wireless tag is detected is set in the passing date field. The time when the wireless tag is detected is set in the passage time item. The employee number read from the wireless tag is set in the employee number item. In the passage location item, the location of the entrance / exit gate that has passed is set.

  For example, in the gate passage time table 122, the passage date is “2011/1/2”, the passage time is “07:54:00”, the employee number is “78901234”, and the passage place is “first floor entrance”. Is set.

This indicates that at 7:54 on January 2, 2011, the entrance / exit gate of the first floor entrance detected the wireless tag and acquired the employee number “78901234”.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a time selection screen. The time selection screen 300 is generated by the entry / exit time management unit 160 and is output to the time card reader 12 when accepting an input for time stamp correction. The time selection screen 300 is displayed on a display provided in the time card reading device 12. A display for displaying the time selection screen 300 may be provided in the entrance / exit gate 10 separately from the time card reader 12. As described above, a touch panel for inputting to the time card reader 12 is provided on the display.

  On the time selection screen 300, a time stamping button 310 and a gate passing time button 320 are displayed. The time stamp button 310 is a button for selecting a time stamp. The gate passage time button 320 is a button for selecting a gate passage time.

The employee can input either time to the time card reader 12 by touching the time stamping button 310 or the gate passing time button 320.
For example, the information “19:50:55” is displayed superimposed on the time stamp button 310. This indicates that the time when the employee performed the stamping was 19:50:55. In other words, if the employee touches the time stamping button 310, the time stamping time can be input as the time for leaving the company.

  Further, for example, the information “19:30:10” of the gate passage time is displayed superimposed on the gate passage time button 320. This indicates that the time when the employee passed through one of the entrance / exit gates is 19:30:10. That is, if the employee touches the gate passage time button 320, the gate passage time can be input as the time for leaving or leaving the company.

  Next, a processing procedure of the attendance management apparatus 100 having the above configuration will be described. Here, in the following description, the management process of the time for leaving and leaving the office will be described on the assumption that the employee possesses the IC card 51 and the time card 52.

  In parallel with the engraving management process shown below, the process of the time card detection unit 140 is performed. Specifically, when the time card 52 is time stamped, the time card detection unit 140 records the time stamp in the time table 121 stored in the attendance information storage unit 120. At that time, the date / time can be acquired and set from the system date / time managed by the OS of the attendance management device 100, for example. Whether the stamping time is set when the employee leaves the company or when the employee leaves the company can be determined, for example, as follows. That is, when the time stamp at the time of entering the office is not set for the date, the time stamp is set as the time of office. In addition, when the stamping time at the time of entering the office for the date is already set (the stamping time has been set or the forgetting stamp is set), the stamping time is set as the time of leaving the office.

Next, the procedure of the stamp management process will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the stamp management process. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 12 will be described in order of step number.

  [Step S11] The wireless tag detection unit 130 detects the wireless tag 51a. That is, the employee number stored in the wireless tag 51a is acquired from the tag R / W device 11. The wireless tag detection unit 130 sets the time when the wireless tag 51a is detected as the gate passage time. The date and time of the current day can be acquired from, for example, the system date / time managed by the OS of the attendance management device 100 or the like.

[Step S12] The wireless tag detection unit 130 records the gate passage time in the gate passage time table 122 stored in the attendance information storage unit 120.
[Step S13] The notification unit 150 determines whether or not the time card 52 has been stamped within the stamp reception time before and after the detection timing of the wireless tag 51a. If the time card 52 is stamped within the stamping reception time, the process is terminated. If the time card 52 has not been stamped, the process proceeds to step S14. Whether or not there is a time stamp before and after the detection timing of the wireless tag 51a can be determined by referring to the time table 121 stored in the attendance information storage unit 120.

  [Step S14] The notification unit 150 determines whether or not the gate passage time acquired in Step S12 is within the time range for leaving / leaving work (near the time for leaving work). If the gate passage time is within the scheduled leaving / exiting time range, the process proceeds to step S15. If the gate passage time is not within the scheduled leaving / exiting time range, the process is terminated. Here, the notification unit 150 refers to the scheduled time set in the leaving / leaving time table 121 (going to work / leaving) and the scheduled leaving / exiting time range table 112, so that the gate passing time of the employee is the scheduled leaving / leaving time. Whether it is within the range can be determined. For example, taking January 4, 2011 as an example, the employee with the employee number “12345678” has a scheduled office time of 8:00, and the scheduled time range is 10 minutes around 8:00 (7: 50-8). 10 minutes). Therefore, for example, when the gate passage time is 7:48, it can be determined that this is not within the scheduled leaving / exiting time range. On the other hand, for example, when the gate passage time is 8: 5, it can be determined that this is within the scheduled leaving / exiting time range. If the scheduled time is not set in the leaving / exiting time table 121, the standard time set in the company standard working time table 111 (entering or leaving the company) is used instead of the scheduled time, so that the process of step S14 can be performed. .

  [Step S15] The notification unit 150 refers to the warning method definition table 113 and waits for a warning waiting time corresponding to the warning method to be performed next. After waiting, the process proceeds to step S16. If the warning waiting time is 0 minute, the waiting time becomes 0, and the process proceeds to step S16 substantially without waiting. The next warning method can be specified as follows. That is, in the warning method definition table 113, the notification unit 150 sets the warning method having the highest priority (defined at the top) among the warning methods having the notified flag “0” as the next warning method. .

  [Step S16] The notification unit 150 refers to the warning method definition table 113 and the warning sentence definition table 114 stored in the control information storage unit 110, generates a message that warns forgetting to write, and outputs a warning destination (for example, To the mobile phone 53). The warning method uses the method specified in step S15.

[Step S17] The notification unit 150 changes the notified flag of the warning method definition table 113 from “0” to “1” for the warning method used in step S16.
[Step S18] The leaving / exiting time management unit 160 determines whether or not the current time is within the stamping correction allowable time. If it is within the stamping correction allowable time, the process proceeds to step S20. If it is not within the stamping correction allowable time, the process proceeds to step S19. Here, the stamping correction allowable time is a time set in the company standard work time table 111. The count start time is immediately after the warning standby time in step S15 has first elapsed. Alternatively, the time point at which the warning of forgetting to be stamped first in step S16 may be used as the count start time point. The reason for “first” is that the warning may occur several times. That is, it means the “first” of a plurality of times.

  [Step S <b> 19] The leaving / exiting time management unit 160 sets the forgetting time stamp in the leaving / exiting time table 121. The set location is a location corresponding to the date determined in step S14 and the category of entering or leaving the office among the time stamping items in the table. For example, if it is determined in step S14 that it is time to leave the company on January 5, 2011, in this step S19, the time stamped on January 5, 2011 (withdrawal) in the entry / exit time table 121 is displayed. , “Forgetting to stamp” is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S23.

  [Step S20] The leaving / exiting time management unit 160 determines whether or not the time card 52 has been stamped. If so, the process proceeds to step S21. If there is no stamp, the process proceeds to step S15.

  [Step S21] The entry / exit time management unit 160 generates screen information of the time selection screen 300 and causes the time card reader 12 to display the screen. At this time, the leaving / exiting time management unit 160 includes the gate passage time acquired in step S12 and the stamping time received in step S20 in the screen information. When the time card reader 12 accepts an employee's selection input on the time selection screen 300, the time card reader 12 outputs the contents to the attendance management device 100. The entry / exit time management unit 160 obtains time selection input by the employee from the time card reader 12.

[Step S <b> 22] The leaving / exiting time management unit 160 records the time selected by the employee in the stamping time (entering or leaving the company) in the leaving / exiting time table 121.
[Step S23] The leaving / exiting time management unit 160 resets the notified flag “1” set in the warning method definition table 113 to “0” for the employee.

In this manner, the attendance / leaving time management is performed by the attendance management device 100.
According to the attendance management apparatus 100, when the wireless tag 51a is detected, it is determined whether or not the time card 52 has been stamped within the stamp reception time before and after the detected timing. Then, if the time stamp is not performed within the time for receiving the time stamp, the employee who has the IC card 51 and the time card 52 is warned of forgetting the time stamp.

  Thereby, it is possible to prevent forgetting to engrave. In other words, if there is no stamp within the stamping reception time, it is determined that the employee may have forgotten the stamp, and the employee is warned that the stamp will be stamped. Encourage the staff to realize that they should be engraved. As a result, it is possible to reduce employee forgetting and to properly manage attendance and departure times.

  Here, since the warning is issued only when the gate passing time is within the range of the scheduled leaving / exiting time, the employee enters the entrance / exit gate 10 or enters / exits outside the scheduled leaving / exiting time range (for example, lunch break). Even if the exit gate 10 is passed, there is no useless warning.

  Further, it is determined whether or not there is a stamp within the stamp reception time before and after the detection timing of the wireless tag 51a. Thereby, it is appropriate both when the time card 52 is stamped before the detection of the wireless tag 51a and when the time card 52 is stamped after the detection of the wireless tag 51a. Yes. For example, depending on the arrangement of the tag R / W device 11 and the time card reading device 12 at the entrance / exit gate 10, the detection timing of the wireless tag 51a and the time card 52 of each device may be changed before or after leaving the office. It is done. More specifically, (1) when the tag R / W device 11 detects the wireless tag 51a earlier than the time card 52 is stamped, (2) detection of the wireless tag 51a by the tag R / W device 11 If time stamping is performed earlier than the time card 52, both can be handled.

In addition, by registering a plurality of warning methods and performing warnings in order from the warning methods with the highest priority, the possibility of direct notification to employees can be improved.
In addition, when a time stamp is received within the time limit for time stamp correction after warning, either the actual time stamp or the gate passage time can be selected and input. This makes it possible to more appropriately manage employee leaving and leaving times.

  Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a plurality of warnings from occurring frequently by setting a warning standby time according to the warning method. On the other hand, if the warning waiting time is set short, a plurality of warning methods (for example, e-mail and extension telephone) can be performed within a short period of time so that the employee can receive the warning more reliably. In the example of the warning method definition table 113, for the employee number “12345678”, when the warning waiting time of the forgetting warning by the mobile phone at the time of leaving the office is set to “0 minutes”, the warning by the e-mail and the mobile phone Warnings can be made almost simultaneously. In this way, the timing for giving a warning can be easily adjusted by the warning standby time.

  Also, it is conceivable to change the method of accepting the input time depending on whether the time has been stamped within the stamp correction allowable time. In other words, the conditions for allowing the employee to enter the time for leaving the company at a later time are changed depending on whether the time is within the allowable correction time or outside the allowable correction time. Specifically, the time input by the employee is accepted as it is if it is within the permissible correction time. On the other hand, for example, if it is outside the permissible correction time, the time is accepted after the approver approves the time entered by the employee. In this way, when the approver's approval is required for the subsequent entry / exit time, it is possible to reduce the burden of the approval operation of the approver rather than approving all the inputs. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency of work management.

  Next, the procedure of the application notification process at the time of forgetting to stamp will be described. The application at the time of forgetting to stamp means an application for the time of leaving or leaving the company, which is performed afterwards by an employee when the stamping is not performed within the allowable time for stamping correction. The attendance / leaving time management unit 160 complements the employee's attendance / leaving time by updating the part of the attendance / leaving time table 121 where forgetting to be stamped is set according to the requested time. The attendance management apparatus 100 periodically executes, for example, the following application notification process at the time of forgetting to stamp.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an application notification process at the time of forgetting to stamp. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 13 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S31] The notifying unit 150 refers to the attendance / leaving time table 121 stored in the attendance information storage unit 120 to determine whether or not there is a place where the forgetting to be stamped is set. If there is a place where forgetting to be stamped is set, the process proceeds to step S32. If there is no part where the forgetting to be stamped is set, the process is terminated.

  [Step S32] The notification unit 150 refers to the warning method definition table 113 and the warning sentence definition table 114 stored in the control information storage unit 110 corresponding to the employee number for which forgetting to be stamped is set in step S31. Then, a message notifying that the application for the time to leave / work is to be generated is generated and transmitted to the warning destination. For example, according to the warning method definition table 113, the employee number “12345678” is notified by e-mail. Further, the notification unit 150 can generate a message based on the template set in the warning sentence definition table 114. The gate passage time and passage location information input to the template can be acquired by referring to the gate passage time table 122 stored in the attendance information storage unit 120.

  [Step S33] The attendance / leaving time management unit 160 accepts an application for the attendance / leaving time by an employee. For example, the employee displays a predetermined operation screen provided by the attendance management device 100 on an in-house terminal device, and operates the operation screen with an input device connected to the terminal device, thereby applying for the time to leave or work. Yes. At that time, the leaving / exiting time management unit 160 refers to the gate passage time table 122, acquires the gate passage time corresponding to the date and time when the forgetting to be stamped is set, and includes the gate passage time in the operation screen. Selectable by employees.

  In this way, the attendance management device 100 makes an application notification at the time of forgetting the time stamp, and accepts an application for a subsequent time to leave or work. When the employee enters and leaves the office leaving time, the gate passing time can be selected, thereby facilitating the employee's input operation. Moreover, even if the employee has not memorized the actual leaving / leaving time, it is possible to reduce the possibility that an incorrect time is input by presenting and selecting the gate passing time. Therefore, it becomes possible to manage the time of leaving and leaving more properly.

  In addition, when the leave / exit time management unit 160 receives an application at the time of forgetting to stamp (applying for a subsequent leave / exit time), for example, an approval request is made to the approver. Then, when approved, the input time is registered as the leaving / leaving time on the date and time when the forgetting to be stamped is set. As a result, it is possible to appropriately complement the time of leaving and leaving the office on the date and time when the forgetting to be stamped is set.

  As described above, the attendance management program, attendance management method, and attendance management apparatus according to the present invention have been described based on the illustrated embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the configuration of each unit is an arbitrary item having the same function. Can be substituted. Moreover, other arbitrary structures and processes may be added. Further, any two or more configurations (features) of the above-described embodiments may be combined.
