Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a time recorder, and specifically,
The present invention relates to a time recorder having a function of notifying in advance that the back side of a time card will be used.

[Conventional technology]

Time cards that print attendance data have a format in which attendance data for the first half of the month (for example, the 1st to the 16th) is printed on the front of the card, and attendance data for the second half of the month (for example, from the 17th to the end of the month) is printed on the front of the card. If there is a card and the printing for the first half of the month is completed, the system is such that printing will begin on the back of the card from the next day.

When using such a time card with front and back printing, each person or person in charge turns over the time card inserted into the card rack the day before or on the day of the changeover date, but sometimes they forget to turn it over. An error occurred in which the attendance data for the second half of the month was printed in the front print column for the first half of the month.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention created a message indicating that the time card will be turned over and used from tomorrow on the day before the printing of attendance data will be moved to the back side of the time card, and at the time of clock-out printing (OUT printing). Alternatively, we thought of issuing a warning to prevent mistakes in the front and back sides of time cards.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] However, the method of giving notice by displaying or warning the day before the transfer date to the back side is not effective if the day before is a holiday, and If the timing of notification is simply set at the time of leaving work printing as described above, if the leaving printing is for official or private use, the above notification will be given when leaving the office, so the notification will be made when leaving the office. When going back and reprinting, many people make the mistake of flipping the time card over and inserting it according to the notice.Also, since the notice has already been given once, the notice is not given when the employee is supposed to leave the office.
In some cases, users may forget to use the back of the card the next day, and even if a notice is given, it is not always possible to completely switch to the back of the card.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that even if the day before the day on which the time card is to be turned over is a holiday, it is possible to accurately notify employees that the time card will be turned over, and even if the employee goes out in the middle of the day, etc. When leaving the company, the above notice must be given to ensure that the information is transferred to the other side.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

(1) A time recorder equipped with the functions of printing, storing and displaying attendance data should be used on weekdays immediately before the printing of attendance data moves to the back of the time card, and for a specified period of time from the first printing of the day. To provide a notification display means for displaying on a display device that the back side of the time card will be used from the next day when printing out the clock after the elapsed time.

(2) Similarly, the above-mentioned time recorder should be provided with a notification alarm means to call attention to the above-mentioned transfer to the back side.

However, in this case, the time of leaving work after a predetermined time has elapsed from the first printing of the day is the average working hours (actual working hours) from the first printing of the day7.
The time after ~8 hours has elapsed, for example,
If the start time is 9:00 AM and the working hours are 8 hours, this means the time of leaving work after 5:00 PM.

[Effect]

The above means works as follows.

The above element (1) is that the notice will be displayed on the weekday immediately before the transition date on the back side, so if the day before the transition date is a holiday, the announcement will be displayed two days before that. By turning the time card over and inserting it into the card rack based on the above, it is possible to record attendance data on the back of the card without fail from the day after the holiday. Furthermore, the above notification display is performed when printing out after normal working hours, and is not performed when temporarily leaving work due to going out, etc., so when returning to work (returning), it may be printed on the back of the card by mistake, or the notification is printed on the back of the card. This can prevent problems such as forgetting to turn over the time card.

The above element (2) makes it possible to ensure that the card is turned over without error and the transition to the back side is ensured, since the card is notified by a warning sound or voice in addition to the above-mentioned notification display.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problem can be solved by the above-mentioned means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the time recorder with a card back usage notification function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a time recorder according to the present invention.
A key switch 3 for switching between the normal mode and the operation mode is configured as shown in Fig. 2. In the normal mode, the current month, day, day of the week, and time are displayed, and in the operation mode, the contents of selectable items and input instructions are displayed. A graphic liquid crystal display device 4 displays interactive input guides such as messages and input numerical values, and also displays error messages and error codes when an error occurs, and in normal mode, items such as shift number input, permission, and pinch hitting. In the operation mode, a keyboard 5 is used to enter numerical values and select items, and if you forget to enter attendance data on the time card T, an error sound or a warning sound is emitted if you forget to enter attendance data. and a terminal 7 for connecting external equipment for transmitting a list of forgotten entries, attendance data, etc. to the host computer.
is provided.

FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the keyboard 5 mentioned above, and this keyboard 5 has a shift button in the normal mode.
Enter the No. and enter the numerical value in operation mode 0~
9 numeric keys 5a, a total of six item keys 5b-5g for inputting exceptional items in the normal mode, and a total of four special keys 5h-k used in the operation mode. Of the four special keys, the cancel key 5h is used to cancel a key input or an error, the selection key 5i is used to move the cursor when selecting an item, and the end key 5j is used to move the cursor when selecting an item. The registration key 5k is used to complete the repeated input and move on to the next process, and the registration key 5k is used to register the numerical value being displayed in the memory or to pass the input.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the internal circuit configuration of the time recorder shown in FIG.
This memory 12 is a data memory configured by , and the attendance data of each individual (employee) is stored in this memory 12 . Further, 13 is a clock circuit that oscillates a reference clock signal, and 14 is an interface circuit electrically coupled to the CPU 10 side via a bus 15. In addition to the above-mentioned key switch 3, display device 4, keyboard 5, and sound device 6, this interface circuit 14 also includes a time card T inserted into the insertion port 2.
A card reader 8 that reads the employee code Ta (see Figure 5) recorded on the inserted time card T is connected to a printer 9 that prints attendance data in a predetermined printing field of the inserted time card T. A card feeding mechanism for sucking and discharging the card and a printing stage determining device (both not shown) are connected.

The above time recorder has program memory 1
The system is configured so that the entire system is controlled under the supervision of the CPU 10 according to the information stored in the time card 1. Therefore, when each employee inserts a time card T into the slot 2, the card feeding mechanism is activated. At the same time as sending the time card T into the recorder 1, the card reader 8 reads the employee code Ta on the time card T, and inputs the attendance data using the keyboard 5 and the display device 4 using preset parameters (starting and ending times). , break time, etc.), and these results are sequentially accumulated in the file memory RAM 12 of each employee, and the printer 9 prints out Tp in the print field Tb of the time card T.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, according to the information stored in the program memory 1, the above-mentioned attendance data is printed on the weekday immediately before being transferred to the back side (not shown) of the time card J, and in particular, on the first weekday of the day. When printing the clock out after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since printing, the above-mentioned display device 4 displays that the back side of the time card T will be used from the next day, and the above-mentioned sounding device 6 is activated to emit a warning sound, It is configured to issue a voice that says, "Please turn it over," to call for attention.

In other words, if the specifications of the time card T specify that the first half of the month (the front of the card) is from the 1st to the 16th and the second half of the month (the back of the card) is from the 17th to the 31st, the 16th becomes the weekday immediately before moving to the back of the card, and when the clock-out time Tn is printed in the clock-out printing section of the final printing field Ty, the above-mentioned display and warning are generated. In addition, the above clocking-off time Tn is printed for the first shift on the day (in the case shown)
If the preset time (e.g. 8 hours) has not elapsed since 8:43 AM (8:43 AM), the above display and alarm will not occur, and the above message will not be displayed until the clock-out time Tn has passed the set time. If the machine is programmed to display and warn, and if you print outside the office during work, even if it is to print in the final print field Ty, the display and warning will not notify you that the printer has moved to the back side. There is no system in place.

On the other hand, if the above-mentioned 16th is a holiday, the above notice and warning will be displayed when printing out the previous day's work on the 15th.
Furthermore, if the 15th is also a holiday, a notice and warning will be issued on the 14th, and if there are consecutive holidays before the switching date, the notice and warning will be issued on the last weekday before the consecutive holidays. Ru.

FIG. 4 explains the changes in the display on the display device 4 when the card is turned over. In the figure, 4A shows an example of displaying the current date and time and day of the week in the normal mode, and 4B shows a display example of the time card. An example of the display when T is inserted is shown. In this 4B display,
Other employee codes at the current time and the elapsed time since the first printing of the day (8 hours in the illustrated case) are displayed. Further, 4C is a display example that notifies the user of turning over the card, and displays a specific date to urge the user to turn over the card. 4D is an example of the display after 3 seconds have passed since the above display 4C was performed, or when the cancel key 5h is turned on. If you follow this instruction and pull out the time card T, the display returns to the original normal display 4A. It is designed to go back and display the current date, time and day of the week.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating the processing procedure for notifying card flipping by the time recorder according to the present invention, which constitutes a part of the program stored in the ROM 11.

That is, after the processing of steps S1 and S2 has progressed, it is determined in the third step S3 whether or not the card was turned over and the marking was done immediately before the shift date (weekday). In step S4, the elapsed time from the first printing of the day is calculated based on the starting time, and in the next step S5, the time elapsed from the first printing of the day is calculated based on the work time, and in the next step S5, the elapsed time is
The employee code and elapsed time are displayed on the display device 4 as shown below.

In the next steps S7 and S8, calculation of attendance data,
The calculated attendance data is printed on the time card T and stored in the data memory RAM 12. In addition, if it is determined in step S3 that it is not a clock-out printout immediately before the transition date, after displaying the employee code and shift number in step S6,
Each process of steps S7 and S8 above is executed.

In the ninth step S9, it is determined whether the elapsed time calculated in the step S4 is longer or shorter than a predetermined set time, and if it is determined that it is longer, a notice of flipping is displayed in steps S10 and S11,
A warning sound is generated by a buzzer sound or voice. In addition, if it is determined in the ninth step S9 that the installation time has not elapsed, the above display and warning sound will not be made, and the installation time will not be elapsed.
and proceed to the card extraction process in S13.

Although the present invention described above is configured to perform only the function of notifying the user of the use of the back of the card, the notification of the use of a new card may also be made from the weekday immediately before the transition date.

〔effect〕

As described above, the time recorder with the function of notifying the use of the back of the card according to the present invention emits a display and a warning sound indicating that the card will be turned over on the day before the day when the card will be turned over. By turning the time card upside down and inserting it into the card rack, you can insert the time card into the time recorder and print it from the next day without fail, which has the advantage of minimizing printing errors caused by mixing up the front and back sides. However, in this invention, in particular, the above announcement should be made on the weekday immediately before the transition date, and also on the first day of the day.
Since the configuration is configured so that printing is performed when leaving work after a predetermined time has elapsed since the first printing, even if the day before the transition date is a holiday or consecutive holidays, the display and warning sound will definitely be notified to employees. can be done, and also
This will also solve the problem of employees accidentally announcing their transition when they go out during work hours.
Coupled with the fact that the structure is simple and the implementation is easy, it is suitable for use in an electronic time recorder controlled using a microcomputer.
