Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a time record device that can store work arrival and departure times.

[Prior Art] Generally, a time recorder is used for time management as part of labor management, and by inserting a time card, the time of arrival and departure is printed on the time card, and the time of arrival and departure stored in the time card is recorded. Based on the employee's time and departure time, for example, regular working hours, overtime hours, vacation days, late arrival/early leaving times, etc. are totaled on a monthly basis, and payroll calculation operations are performed.

However, this time management work requires a great deal of time and effort, is inefficient or irrational, has many calculation errors, and lacks accuracy.

Therefore, a time recorder device that automatically performs these various tasks was developed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1983-
This is shown in Publication No. 124885.

That is, in this publication technology, identification information of the owner of the time card is added to the time card made of paper or the like using a mark or the like, and by inserting this card into the recorder, the recorder can read the information. The system is configured to optically read the identification information, store the time of arrival and departure for each user, and print the time of arrival and departure on the time card. Furthermore, the recorder is designed to automatically perform various time management, salary payment calculations, etc. from the recorded information on attendance and departure times.

[Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] As described above, it has been considered to have a time recorder automatically perform each person's time management and various calculations, etc. In the past, even though the daily arrival and departure times are printed out on card paper and the daily arrival and departure times are stored in the time recorder, a new time card must be prepared every day. There was a drawback that it did not work.

In addition, such time cards are usually installed near the time recorder, and each individual must go to the location where the time card is installed to check his or her attendance status. There was also a risk that the powder would be lost if an individual took it out without permission.

Furthermore, the time measured in the time recorder is
It is required that the time is accurate, and it is also necessary that the time on the clock owned by each individual is accurate and matches the clock in the time recorder to prevent lateness etc. If one of the clocks is incorrect and does not match, there is a drawback that even if you arrive or leave work at the correct time, you will be treated as late or leaving early, or vice versa.

An object of this invention is to enable each person to confirm their own monthly work attendance and departure times without using paper on which times are printed out, such as in conventional time cards.

[Means for solving problems] The means of this invention are as follows.

First clock circuit means (clock circuit) 13, key switch means (IN key, OUT key), first
memory means (memory 14) and timing information sending means (control signal a, gate circuit G1, terminal 17a,

The timekeeping information sending means is for sending out the timekeeping information stored in the first memory means, that is, the timekeeping information when a key operation is performed, to the outside, that is, the card-type small electronic device.

In the card-type small electronic device, the clock information input means inputs clock information from the time recorder.

The second clock circuit means is preset with clock information from the clock information input means.

The second memory means receives and stores time information from the input means, and has a storage area for storing at least one month's worth of time information.

The display means displays time information of the second clock circuit means and time information stored in the second memory means.

[Effect] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

First, the clock circuit means of the time recorder measures time information of the current time and date.

When going to work or leaving, each person attaches a card-type small electronic device owned by the person to the time recorder and operates the attendance key or exit key.

By operating this attendance key or exit key,
The timekeeping information obtained when this key operation is performed is stored in the first memory means, and is also sent to the timekeeping information input means of the card-type small electronic device via the timekeeping information sending means, and then sent to the second timekeeping means. It is preset and stored in the second memory means.

In this way, the second clock circuit means is always synchronized with the time of the time recorder, and the second memory means stores one month's worth of work arrival and departure times, and the stored contents and times are displayed on the display. 6 is displayed.

Therefore, the time recorder stores the arrival and departure times of each person, and each card-type small electronic device displays the same time as the time recorder, so the owner can check the time and avoid being late. In addition, since only the owner's work/leaving time for one month is stored, the owner can display and confirm his or her own work/leaving time for one month, eliminating the need for traditional time cards.

The configuration of the memory section 14 will be detailed later, but
The starting and leaving times are stored for each employee according to the employee code, and at least one month's worth of starting and leaving times are stored. The starting time and leaving time read from the memory section 14 are sent to the arithmetic section 15 via the gate circuit _G2 and subjected to appropriate arithmetic operations.

Based on the input time data, the calculation unit 15 calculates, for example, one month's worth of regular working hours, overtime hours, late arrival/early leaving time, etc. for each employee, and calculates one month's worth of salary. It is a thing,
This calculation result data is sent to the printer 16 in the printer accommodating section 3 and printed on recording paper (not shown).

On the other hand, the timekeeping information obtained by the clock circuit 13 and the control signal a output from the control section 12 are sent to a terminal 17 that constitutes a connection section in the insertion slot 2 of the time recorder.
It is taken out from terminals a to 17d (corresponding to terminals 7a to 7d on the card computer side) or terminal 17e (corresponding to terminal 7e on the card computer side). Therefore, when the card calculator is inserted into the insertion slot 2 of the time recorder, these are electrically connected.

Next, a circuit configuration diagram of the card calculator will be explained. This card calculator is similar to a regular calculator,
It has an input section 18, a control section 19, and an arithmetic/storage section 20, and the input section 18

Further, timekeeping information of the clock circuit 13 inputted from the terminals 7a to 7d is sent to the clock circuit 21 via the gate circuit _G3 to be preset, and is also sent to the memory 22 and written therein.

The clock circuit 21 of the computer counts the reference clock signal having a frequency of 32768 Hz and calculates, for example, the hour.
It is used to obtain minute time information and month and minute date information, and the timekeeping information obtained by this clock circuit 21 is as follows:
The data is sent to the display unit 6 via the calculation/storage unit 20 and digitally displayed.

Further, the memory 22 stores the starting time and leaving time according to the date information, and has a capacity to store at least one month's worth of starting time and leaving time. The working time and leaving time information N successively retrieved from the memory 22 is sent to the display section 6 via the calculation/storage section 20 and displayed digitally. It should be noted that the memory 22 is configured so that each time the confirmation key Re is operated, the working times and leaving times from the 1st to the 31st are sequentially read out in accordance with the control signal d output from the control unit 19. .

Next, the circuit configuration of the memory section 14 of the time recorder will be explained with reference to FIG. The employee code input to the memory unit 14 is sent to the decoder 23 and decoded, and the decoder 23 outputs decoded signals "0", "1" to "1" corresponding to the employee code.
“n” is alternatively output. The control signal b is
A clock signal φ of a predetermined frequency is applied as a gate control signal to an AND gate 24, and the clock signal φ output from the AND gate 24 corresponds to the number of days in one month.
It is given to a 31-decimal counter 25 and counted. Further, the control signal b is given as a gate control signal to AND gates AN ₀ and AN 1 to _{A O} provided corresponding to the decoded signals “0” and “ ₁ ” to “n” of the decoder 23, respectively. Furthermore, the control signal b is given to an inverter 26, and the output signal of this inverter 26 is applied to an AND gate AN′ ₀ provided corresponding to the decoded signals “0”, “1” to “n” of the decoder 23. , AN′ ₁ to AN′ _o as gate control signals. Each of the above and gates
Corresponding decode signals “ ₀ ” and “ ₁ ” to “n” are applied to AN 0 and AN 1 to _AN o as gate control signals, respectively, and count value information of the counter 25 is also applied. In addition, each of the above AND gates
Corresponding decode signals “ ₀ ” and “1” to “n” are given to AN′ ₀ and AN′ 1 to AN′ _o as gate control signals, respectively, and date information obtained by the clock circuit 13 is also provided. Given. Then, the counter 2 output from each AND gate AN ₀ , AN ₁ to _{AN o}
5 count value information or each AND gate AN′ ₀ ,
The date information of the clock circuit 13 output from AN' ₁ to AN' _o is applied to the corresponding address parts AD ₀ and AD ₁ to AD _o , and the contents of the address parts AD ₀ and AD ₁ to AD _o are changed. let Each of these address parts AD ₀ , AD ₁ ~ AD _o
The address information output from the corresponding RAM
(Random access memory) It is given to Z ₀ , Z ₁ to _{Z o} and specifies the address of RAM Z ₀ , Z ₁ to _{Z o} .

Each of the RAMZ ₀ and Z ₁ to _{Z o} has 31 addresses corresponding to the number of days in one month, and stores the arrival time and leaving time for each employee. A control signal a is given to each RAMZ ₀ , Z ₁ to _{Z o} as a data write command signal, and time information obtained by the clock circuit 13 is also given, and this time information is transmitted to the control signal. It is written to the specified address at the timing when a is input. Further, the time information read from each RAMZ ₀ , Z ₁ to _{Z o} is sent from the memory unit 14 and given to the calculation unit 15 .

Next, the operation of the time recorder configured as described above will be explained. First, when going to work, the card calculator is inserted into the insertion slot 2 of the time recorder and the card calculator is electrically connected to the time recorder. Then enter your employee code using the numerical key □0
~ Operate □9 to set the number, then press the attendance key IN
When the controller 12 operates, the control section 12 outputs a control signal a and gives it to the gate circuit _G1 and the memory section 14, and
The employee code is output and given to the memory section 14. At the same time, the time information obtained by the clock circuit 13 is provided to the memory section 14 at the timing when the gate circuit _G1 is opened. And memory section 14
, the employee code is decoded by the decoder 23, and one of the decoded signals "0" to "n" is output as a signal having a high level of binary logic level. At this time, since the control signal b is at the low level of the binary logic level and the output signal of the inverter 26 is at the high level, the high level decode signal of each AND gate AN' ₀ to AN' _o Only the corresponding AND gate, that is, the AND gate corresponding to the employee code, is deregulated. For example, when AND gate AN' ₀ is deregulated, date information is given to address field AD ₀ via AND gate AN' ₀ , so RAMZ ₀ is one of the addresses 1 to 31. ,
An address corresponding to date information is specified. Then, when the attendance key IN is activated, the control signal a is activated.
RAMZ ₀ , so the time information obtained by the clock circuit 13 at the time of operation of the attendance key IN is given to RAMZ 0.
Written to the specified address in RAMZ ₀ . Therefore, the starting time is stored in RAMZ ₀ .

On the other hand, when the attendance key IN is operated, the control signal a and the clock information obtained by the clock circuit 13 are also input into the card calculator. The input clock information is preset in the clock circuit 21 at the timing when the gate circuit _G2 is opened, and simultaneously sent to the memory 22. And memory 22
, the time information obtained by the clock circuit 13 of the time recorder at the time of operation of the attendance key IN, that is, the attendance time, is written to the specified address corresponding to the date information.

In this way, when going to work, the time recorder stores the work time for each employee in one of RAMZ ₀ to Z _o , and the card calculator stores the employee's own work time in the memory 22. ,
The clock circuit 21 is preset with highly accurate clock information obtained by the clock circuit 13 of the time recorder.

Furthermore, when leaving the office, the user inserts the card calculator into the slot 2 of the time recorder and enters his/her own employee code in the same way as when leaving the office. Then, when you operate the exit key OUT, the time recorder shows the exit time for each employee.
RAMZ ₀ to Z _o are stored, and on the card computer side, its own exit time is stored in the memory 22, and highly accurate time measurement information is preset in the clock circuit 21.

Therefore, by repeating the same operations when arriving and leaving work every day, the time recorder stores one month's worth of attendance and departure times for each employee, and the card calculator stores one month's worth of employee's own arrival and departure times. The time of arrival and departure for each minute is memorized.

Next, a case will be described in which one month's worth of employee arrival and departure times stored in the time recorder are printed. In this case, the employee code for one employee is entered by operating numerical keys □0 to □9, and at the same time, the print command key in the printer accommodating section 3 is operated. As a result, the control section 12 outputs the employee code and gives it to the memory section 14, and also outputs the control signal b to send the employee code to the gate circuit _G2 and the memory section 14,
It is given to the arithmetic unit 15. Then, in the memory section 14, by inputting the control signal b, the AND gate 2
4 is deregulated, the clock signal φ is sent to the counter 25 via the AND gate 24 and counted. At the same time, the employee code is decoded by the decoder 23, and the decode signal becomes "0".
. . . to “n”, a decode signal that is alternatively at a high level is output. For example, when the decode signal "0" is at a high level, the AND gate AN is deregulated, so that the count information of the counter 25 is passed through the AND gate AN ₀ to the address section.
Given in AD ₀ . Therefore, addresses 1 to 31 of RAMZ ₀ are specified according to the count value information of the counter 25, so the arrival and departure times stored in the specified address are read out and sent to the printer via the calculation unit 15. 16, and is printed on recording paper, and is also subjected to a predetermined calculation in the calculation section 15. That is, the calculation unit 15 calculates daily tardiness and overtime hours, as well as one month's worth of salary payments, various allowances, etc., based on the input clock-in and clock-out times. This calculation result data is then sent to the printer 16 and printed on recording paper. As a result, 1
As shown in FIG. 5, a month's worth of work attendance and departure times, late arrival times, overtime hours, etc. can be printed all at once on a recording sheet.

Thereafter, by performing the same operation for each employee, the arrival and departure times, overtime hours, etc. of all employees for one month are printed on the record sheet.

Next, the display operation of the card calculator will be explained. When carrying the card calculator, to switch from the calculation function to the clock function, operate the time display key □T. As a result, the control signal c is output from the control section 19 and given to the clock circuit 21, so that the timekeeping information obtained by the clock circuit 21 is transmitted to the calculation section 21.
0 to the display section 6, and as shown in FIG. 6, for example, "June 20th, 8:30 am" is digitally displayed. Note that since the clock circuit 21 is preset with accurate timing information obtained by the clock circuit 13 of the time recorder at the time of coming to work and leaving the office every day, the accurate time can always be displayed.

Furthermore, when using a mobile phone, when checking one's own arrival and departure times, the user operates the confirmation key Re. As a result, the control signal d is output from the control unit 19, so that among the work arrival and departure times for one month stored in the memory 22, the work arrival and departure times stored in the first address are consecutively displayed. and sent to the display unit 6 via the calculation unit 20. Therefore,
As shown in FIG. 7, the display section 6 displays, for example,
``1 day, 8:20 (work time) - 7:30 (leave time)'' is displayed digitally. Then, each time the confirmation key Re is operated, from the memory 22,
The arrival and departure times from the second day onwards are successively displayed on the display section 6.

In the above embodiment, the arrival and departure times are displayed on the display section 6 by operating the confirmation key Re, but instead of the display section 6, a printer device is provided to print out the arrival and departure times. You may also do so.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the attendance key
Although the configuration is such that the IN and exit keys OUT are operated, when the card calculator is inserted into the insertion slot 2, it may be automatically and dynamically switched.

Furthermore, the numerical value of the employee code was entered by operating the numerical keys □0 to □9, but each person had his or her own employee code memorized in the card calculator carried by the person, and when the card calculator was inserted. When inserted into the mouth 2, the employee code may be automatically inserted.

In addition, data transmission between the time recorder and the card calculator is done by connecting the terminals 7a to 7e and 17a to 17e, but it may also be done magnetically or optically using a phototransistor or the like. It's okay.

Furthermore, although a card calculator was used in the above embodiments, other electronic devices worn on the body, such as
It may also be an electronic wristwatch or the like.

[Effects of the Invention] This invention allows a small card-type electronic device that can store and display one month's worth of time information to be used as a time card, without using a card made of paper on which the time is printed. At the same time, since the time is simply measured at the same time as the time recorder, there is no need to prepare time card paper every month, and just one card-type small electronic device for each person can be used to record the same time as the time recorder. , it has the effect of being able to confirm and manage the exit time.
