Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an online time recorder that manages the working time of workers.

(b) Prior art and problems In online time recorders, workers can record their arrival and departure times by inserting an employee card (magnetic card, etc.) on which an identification code such as an employee number is recorded into a reader. to the center and manage work hours. In recent years, due to the increase in the number of part-time workers and the diversification of work hours, for example, early shifts (8:00-17:00) and late shifts (12:00-20:00)
00), etc., and the working hours differ for each employee. In the conventional system, a sorting key is provided beside the reading section of the time recorder, and when the worker inserts the employee card into the reading section, the worker presses the required sorting key. This conventional method has the drawback that the worker forgets to press the classification key, and the processing is complicated, such as requiring verification processing to identify the classification of the worker on the center side.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide an online time recorder that facilitates the management of work time for each category of workers.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a card in which an identification code unique to the card and a classification code assigned corresponding to the identification code among a plurality of classification data indicating the classification to which the cardholder belongs are recorded. a time counter that generates time data; a classification code input section that inputs the plurality of classification codes; a classification code input section into which the classification codes from the card reading section are input; a sorting means that outputs a classification code from the card reading section when the classification code is not input, and outputs the classification code when the classification code is input from the classification code input section; and the card reading section. A device comprising: a check control unit that checks the validity of the identification code and classification code read by the card; and a display unit that displays the validity of the card according to at least the check result of the check control unit; The device is connected to the device and allows the card reading unit to read the card information to read the time data of the time counter, and the personal identification code corresponds to the card specific information and the classification code corresponds to the information sorted by the sorting means. and a processing device for registering, and when the identification code and classification code read by the card reading section are determined to be valid by the check control section, the identification code and the time data are passed through the screening means. The online time recorder is characterized in that registration is performed in the processing device according to a classification code.
As described above, the present invention provides an online time recorder in which, in addition to the employee number (identification code), the worker's classification code (for example, a code indicating the type of work time zone) is recorded in advance on the card itself. This is intended to prevent input operation errors and to facilitate registration processing at the center.

(e) Examples of the invention The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The drawing is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention. A time recorder 1 in the drawing is connected to a center processing system 3 by a line 2. Further, an employee code N is recorded in the magnetic recording section M of the magnetic card (employee card) 4, and a classification code, for example, a is recorded in the magnetic recording section L. On the other hand, the operating section K is provided with classification keys A, B, and C, and by pressing these keys, classification codes a, b, and c are input, respectively. The above classifications indicate the division of work hours. Therefore, the holder (worker) of the magnetic card in the example has previously registered "A".
Work hours are set (for example, 7:00 to 15:00). When this worker goes to/from work, when he inserts the magnetic card 4 into the reading section 5, the read employee code N and classification code a are read by the check control section 6.
sent to. Parameters P sent from the processing system 3 of the center are set in the parameter setting section 7, and the check control section 6 sets input data (employee code N and classification code a) based on this parameter P. Checks whether the file is in a predetermined format or not. If it is abnormal, an NG signal E is sent to the display control section 8, and "invalid" is displayed on the display section 9. On the other hand, if it is normal, the check control section 6 outputs an OK signal G. “Valid” is displayed on the display unit 9. At the same time, the employee code N and classification code a are output. The employee code N and the classification code a that have passed through the OR gate 10 are sent to the data editing section 11. Also, time data T of a time counter 13 driven by a clock pulse Q from a pulse generator 12.
The information is also sent to the data editing section 11. The data editing section 11 edits these data into a transmission data format, and then stores this in the buffer memory 14. The transmitter/receiver 15 sends the data (employee code N, classification code a, and time data T) in the buffer memory 14 to the center. In the center processing system 3, the received data is processed by the processing unit 1.
6 is stored in the file 17, and the arrival (or leaving) time of the worker is registered. The above example is a case where a worker who is assigned time slot "A" (classification code: a) comes to work/leave work within the specified time slot "A". In response, the worker temporarily works during the "B" time period (for example, 12:00-20:00).
00), when using the time recorder when clocking in and out, the user presses the classification key B of the operating section K in the drawing, and then inserts the magnetic card 4 into the reading section 5. Accordingly, the classification code b from the key data control section 18 and the classification code a from the check control section 6 are input to the data editing section 11 via the OR gate 10. At this time, the data editing unit 11 sends the classification code b to the center as the priority classification code, so that the worker's
The leaving time is registered as time zone "B".

(f) Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, since the classification code indicating the work time zone etc. is recorded in advance on a card such as an employee card to which a card-specific identification code is added, it is possible to In order to prevent errors in registering clock-out times and display the results of checking the validity of the read code information, it is possible to clearly notify the operator of the validity of the card and to check whether the card is valid or not. Since the registration process is performed only for those who have received the registration, it has the advantage of facilitating the registration process at the center.
