[System configuration]
Hereinafter, the attendance management device, attendance management method, and program according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Initially, the structure of the attendance management apparatus 100 in this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS. 1-4. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of the entire system including the attendance management device 100 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the attendance management device 100 in the present embodiment.

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the attendance management device 100 includes a mobile terminal 1 (terminal) possessed by an employee (user), an access point AP1, and an access point AP2 via a network 2 such as the Internet. Connected with.

  The mobile terminal 1 is a terminal capable of communication by a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), and is connected to the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 by a wireless LAN. The mobile terminal 1 receives a control signal transmitted from the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 and detects an available frequency. When the mobile terminal 1 detects an available frequency, the mobile terminal 1 designates a network identifier included in the control signal, and transmits an association request to the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 that is the transmission source of the control signal. To do.

  The access point AP1 is installed at the work place 1 of the employee. Further, the access point AP2 is installed in a work place 2 different from the work place 1 in which the access point AP1 is installed. Here, the work place 1 is, for example, a place of an employee's company, and the work place 2 is a place of a business trip destination visited frequently by the employee. Note that the access points connected to the network 2 are not limited to these access points AP1 and AP2, and three or more access points may be connected to the network 2.

  The access point AP1 or the access point AP2 transmits a control signal within a transmittable range, that is, within a company or the like, and receives an association request from the mobile terminal 1 that has received the control signal. When the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 receives the association request from the mobile terminal 1, the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 notifies the mobile terminal 1 of the connection possibility by performing an association response.

  For example, when the employee who has the portable terminal 1 is in the work place A, the portable terminal 1 receives the control signal transmitted from the access point AP1. And the portable terminal 1 which received the said control signal designates the network identifier contained in the said control signal, and the portable terminal 1 and access point AP1 are connected by wireless LAN. In this case, the access point AP1 notifies the mobile terminal 1 that the access point AP1 and the mobile terminal 1 are connected.

  The network identifier is an identifier corresponding to each access point, and is identification information for identifying a logical group of wireless LAN communication based on the IEEE 802.11 specification, for example, SSID (Service Set Identifier).

  The attendance management device 100 is a management server device for managing employee attendance, and determines whether the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 are connected based on the network identifier. . The attendance management apparatus 100 manages a network identifier for each access point connected to the network 2. For this reason, when it is determined that the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 are connected, the attendance management apparatus 100 can specify the access point connected to the mobile terminal 1.

  When the attendance management device 100 identifies that the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 are connected, the attendance management apparatus 100 identifies that the employee is in the work place A and connects the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP2. If it is determined that the employee is working, it is specified that the employee is at work location B.

  Thus, according to the attendance management device 100, the attendance management of the employee is performed by determining whether or not the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 are connected based on the network identifier. For this reason, according to the attendance management apparatus 100, it is not necessary to acquire detailed position information of the employee, and the employee has a terminal having a function for acquiring position information from a GPS satellite or a base station. Even if not, attendance management can be performed.

  1 illustrates a situation in which one mobile terminal 1 is connected to the network 2, but a plurality of different mobile terminals 1 may be connected to the network 2. In this case, the attendance management apparatus 100 can manage the attendance of the plurality of employees by having the plurality of employees possess different mobile terminals 1.

[Configuration of attendance management device]
Here, the configuration of the attendance management apparatus 100 will be described more specifically. In the following description, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 is a mobile phone having a position detection function by GPS (Global Positioning System).

  In the present embodiment, the attendance management device 100 includes a determination unit 11, an attendance management unit 12, a location information acquisition unit 13, a travel section identification unit 14, a travel expense calculation unit 15, a notification unit 16, a communication Unit 19, first storage unit 31, and second storage unit 32 (storage unit). The first storage unit 31 includes a work location storage unit 17 and a work time storage unit 18, and the second storage unit 32 includes an item storage unit 22 and a transportation expense storage unit 24.

(Communication Department and Judgment Department)
The communication unit 19 is connected to the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 via the network 2. Also, the determination unit 11 acquires a network identifier corresponding to the access point that is the connection destination from the mobile terminal 1 via the communication unit 19.

  Furthermore, the determination unit 11 determines whether the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 are connected based on the acquired network identifier. That is, the determination unit 11 determines that the mobile terminal 1 and the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 are connected when the network identifier corresponding to the access point AP1 or the access point AP2 is output from the communication unit 19. .

  Here, the determination unit 11 manages a network identifier corresponding to each access point in advance. For this reason, the determination part 11 can identify the access point connected with the portable terminal 1 based on the acquired network identifier. That is, the determination unit 11 can determine that the employee holding the mobile terminal 1 is at the work location A or the work location B, and outputs the determination result to the attendance management unit 12 and the location information acquisition unit 13.

  On the other hand, when the network identifier cannot be obtained from the mobile terminal 1 via the communication unit 19, the determination unit 11 determines that the mobile terminal 1 is not connected to either the access point AP1 or the access point AP2. That is, the determination unit 11 can determine that the employee is not in the work place A or the work place B, and outputs the determination result to the attendance management unit 12 and the position information acquisition unit 13.

  Further, the determination unit 11 may acquire the MAC address of the currently connected device as the network identifier from each access point. In this case, the determination unit 11 determines whether or not the acquired MAC address matches the MAC address of the mobile terminal 1. If the MAC address acquired from any access point matches the MAC address of the mobile terminal 1, the determination unit 11 determines that the mobile terminal 1 is connected to the access point corresponding to the matched MAC address. To do.

(Attendance Management Department)
The attendance management unit 12 performs attendance management for the employee who owns the mobile terminal 1 based on the determination result by the determination unit 11. Specifically, the time when the employee is at work location A or work location B is the work time of the employee, and the time when the employee is not at work location A or work location B is the employee's work time. It is outside. And the attendance management part 12 memorize | stores an employee's working time in the working time storage part 18 of the 1st memory | storage part 31, and performs an attendance management of an employee.

(Location information acquisition unit)
The position information acquisition unit 13 determines whether or not to transmit a position information acquisition request to the mobile terminal 1 based on the determination result received from the determination unit 11. When the determination result indicating that the employee is not in the work place A or the work place B is output from the determination unit 11, the position information acquisition unit 13 is carried via the communication unit 19 and the network 2. A position information acquisition request is transmitted to the terminal 1.

  When receiving the position information acquisition request from the position information acquisition unit 13, the mobile terminal 1 receives the signal transmitted from the GPS satellite 3, thereby acquiring the position information specifying the latitude and longitude of the own device. Further, the mobile terminal 1 can also acquire altitude information that specifies the altitude of its own device by a signal from the GPS satellite 3. Furthermore, in addition to the information from the GPS satellite 3, the portable terminal 1 can also acquire time information and speed information of its own device.

  Then, the mobile terminal 1 transmits information including at least position information received from the GPS satellite 3 or the base station 4 to the position information acquisition unit 13 of the attendance management device 100 via the network 2 and the communication unit 19. The position information acquisition unit 13 acquires the position information transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 and outputs the acquired position information to the movement section specifying unit 14.

  On the other hand, when the determination information indicating that the employee is in the work place A or the work place B is output from the determination unit 11, the position information acquisition unit 13 has already determined the position of the employee by the determination unit 11. Therefore, the position information acquisition request is not transmitted to the mobile terminal 1.

  Note that the attendance management device according to the present invention does not necessarily include the position information acquisition unit 13, and whether the employee who owns the mobile terminal 1 is at the work place A or the work place B based on the network identifier. It is enough if you can judge.

  In the present embodiment, the position information acquisition unit 13 can also acquire the position information and speed information of the mobile terminal 1 based on the positional relationship with the base station 4 closest to the mobile terminal 1.

(Moving section identification part)
The movement section specifying unit 14 specifies the movement section of the employee who owns the portable terminal 1 based on the position information output from the position information acquisition unit 13. For example, when the employee departs from the work location A and moves to a business trip destination where no access point is installed, the section from the work location A to the business trip destination is specified as the travel section. Then, the movement section identification unit 14 outputs the identified movement section to the transportation cost calculation unit 15.

(Transportation cost calculation section)
The transportation cost calculation unit 15 calculates the transportation cost of the movement section based on the movement section specified by the movement section specification unit 14. Here, the detailed structure of the transportation expense calculation part 15 is demonstrated using FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the transportation cost calculation unit 15 of the attendance management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is stored in the item storage unit 22 of the attendance management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. It is a figure which shows the table T1.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the transportation cost calculation unit 15 includes a movement means identification unit 21 and a calculation unit 23.

  The moving means specifying unit 21 refers to the table T1 stored in the item storage unit 22 of the second storage unit 32 and uses the moving means (hereinafter referred to as “use moving means”) used by the employee who owns the mobile terminal 1. Identify).

  Referring to FIG. 4, the item storage unit 22 stores a table T1. In this table T1, for example, “train”, “car”, “walk or bicycle” and “airplane” are stored as moving means, and there are six items (moving means information) provided for each moving means. It is remembered one by one.

  These items include position information of the corresponding moving means, altitude information indicating the altitude of the corresponding moving means, time information indicating the time when the corresponding moving means can be used, and speed information indicating the moving speed of the corresponding moving means. It consists of at least one piece of information. Further, the table T1 is provided with a point input column and a remarks column for inputting the degree of coincidence (hereinafter referred to as “point”) between the employee's behavior and the content of each item for each item. ing.

  When receiving the position information acquisition request from the position information acquisition unit 13, the mobile terminal 1 includes at least one piece of information on its own altitude information, time information, and its own speed information in addition to its own position information. Is transmitted to the position information acquisition unit 13. Then, the location information acquisition unit 13 receives the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 and outputs the information to the moving means specifying unit 21.

  The moving means specifying unit 21 acquires at least one piece of information from the position information acquisition unit 13 among position information, altitude information, time information, and speed information. In addition, the movement means specific | specification part 21 may calculate an employee's moving speed based on the acquired positional information. And the movement means specific | specification part 21 compares at least 1 or more information among the acquired positional information, altitude information, time information, and speed information with the item memorize | stored in table T1, for every movement means, The degree of matching between the two is calculated. Specifically, the moving means specifying unit 21 compares the two for each moving means, calculates a point for each item, and inputs the point in the point input column of the table T1.

  For example, the moving means specifying unit 21 inputs “5” as a point in the point input field when the degree of matching is about 100%, and sets “4” when the degree of matching is about 80%. Enter points in the point entry field. Similarly, when the degree of match is about 60%, the moving means specifying unit 21 is “2” when the degree of match is about 40%, and “2” when the degree of match is about 20%. If “1” is approximately 0%, “0” is entered in the point input field.

  Specifically, the item storage unit 22 includes train station positions, train routes, traffic signal positions, highway positions, one-way road positions, airport positions, and time zones in which trains are operated. A plurality of pieces of information relating to the moving means such as the time zone during which the airplane is operated are stored in advance. And the movement means specific | specification part 21 inputs the point of a corresponding item, for example, when an employee's movement stops temporarily in the position of about 60% of the station of the train memorize | stored beforehand. Enter point “3” in the field.

  Further, for example, when there is an input in the remarks column for the item having a point of “3” or more, the moving means specifying unit 21 follows the input content of the remarks column. For example, when the point is “3” or more for the item “speed is 300 km / h or higher”, the moving means specifying unit 21 specifies the airplane as the use moving means. Further, for example, when the point is “3” or more for the item “time zone when the train is not operating”, the moving means specifying unit 21 excludes the train from the candidates for the use moving means.

  In addition, the movement means specifying unit 21 moves items that are not input to the remarks column or items that are input to the remarks column but have a point of less than “3”, which are not excluded from the use movement means candidates. The total value of points is calculated for each means. Then, the moving means specifying unit 21 specifies the moving means having the maximum point total value as the used moving means, and outputs a signal indicating the specified used moving means to the calculating unit 23.

  In addition, the movement means specific | specification part 21 calculates the signal which shows the specified utilization movement means, without calculating the total value of a point, when the utilization movement means has already been specified according to the input content in the remarks column. 23 may be output.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, there is an item for which there is an input in the remarks column, and there is no item whose point is “3” or more. For this reason, the movement means specific | specification part 21 calculates the total value of a point for every movement means. In this case, the total value of points is “16” for “train”, and the total value of points is 2 for “car”. Further, the total value of points is “4” for “walk or bicycle”, and the total value of points is 1 for “airplane”. As a result, the moving means specifying unit 21 specifies “train” as the use moving means.

  Further, the moving means specifying unit 21 may divide the section in which the employee has moved into a plurality of sections based on the position information acquired from the position information acquiring unit 13 and specify the use moving means for each of the plurality of sections. Good. For example, the moving means specifying unit 21 can specify the train as the use moving means from the first point to the second point, and can specify the walking or the bicycle as the use moving means from the second point to the third point.

  Further, the moving means stored in the table T1 is not limited to the above-described “train”, “car”, “walk or bicycle”, and “airplane”. For example, in the table T1, “train” is stored separately as “Shinkansen” and “conventional line”, and “car” is stored as “bus”, “taxi”, and “private car”. May be. In such a case, for example, when the moving speed of the employee is less than 150 km / h, the moving means specifying unit 21 specifies the use moving means as “conventional line” and the moving speed of the employee is 150 km. When the speed is not less than / h and not more than 300 km / h, the use moving means can be specified as “Shinkansen”.

  The calculating unit 23 receives a signal indicating the employee's moving section from the moving section specifying unit 14, and further receives a signal indicating the use moving means from the moving means specifying unit 21. The transportation cost storage unit 24 of the second storage unit 32 stores a table T2, and a plurality of sections and transportation expenses for each section are associated with each other and stored in the table T2. . A specific example of the table T2 will be omitted.

  Then, the calculation unit 23 refers to the table T2 stored in the transportation cost storage unit 24, calculates the transportation cost for the movement of the employee, and stores the calculated transportation cost in the work time storage unit 18.

(Notification part)
The notification unit 16 periodically acquires the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 13, and performs notification when the acquired position information does not change for a predetermined time or more.

  Here, since the position information of the mobile terminal 1 changes with the movement of the employee, even if the employee is in the work place A, the movement of the mobile terminal 1 by the employee in the work place A is performed. Location information continues to change slightly. That is, when the position information of the mobile terminal 1 does not change for a predetermined time or more, there is a high possibility that the employee does not have the mobile terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 1 is left unattended.

  For this reason, the notification unit 16 performs a predetermined display on the external monitor 20 connected to the attendance management device 100, for example, in order to notify that the mobile terminal 1 is left unattended.

(Work location memory department)
The work location storage unit 17 of the first storage unit 31 stores in advance position information of one or more work locations such as the work location A and the work location B, for example.

  The attendance management unit 12 can perform attendance management of the employee based on the position of the work location stored in the work location storage unit 17 in addition to the attendance management of the employee based on the network identifier described above.

  That is, whether the attendance management unit 12 matches the position of the mobile terminal 1 and the position of the work place based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 13 and the work place stored in the work place storage unit 17. Judge whether or not. Then, the attendance management unit 12 can manage the attendance of the employee with the matching time as the employee's working time and the unmatched time as the outside of the employee's working time.

  In addition, the attendance management unit 12 stores the employee in the work location storage unit 17 based on the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 13 and the location information of the work location stored in the work location storage unit 17. When moving between work places, the travel time between the work places can be managed as the working hours of the employee.
