2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a conference is held in a company or the like, the conference tends to be redundant if attendees are less aware of personnel expenses. Therefore, conventionally, as shown as a conference clock in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-45485, a discussion is made to proceed as reasonably and effectively as possible within a given conference time.
In order for all attendees to contribute to the outcome of the meeting on average and improve productivity per hour, we propose a technology that sets the scheduled time to 100 (%) and displays the ratio of elapsed time to the scheduled time as a percentage. It had been. In addition, when installing and repairing various facilities and equipment for a fee, the cost calculation related to personnel costs is calculated by, for example, a worker looking at the clock and calculating the time required,
Furthermore, it was done by multiplying the personnel cost per unit time.

[0003]

However, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-45485 described above merely shows the elapsed time of the conference as a percentage, and makes the personnel expenses required for the conference conscious. It was not convincing. In addition, when the labor cost is calculated for repairing equipment, many procedures must be executed for calculation, which is troublesome and may cause a calculation error.

[0004]

According to the present invention, for example, when the attendees of a conference are made aware of the labor cost required for the conference, or when the customer is billed for the labor cost required for the installation and repair of various facilities and equipment. The purpose is to calculate efficiently and accurately.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a personnel cost storage unit for predictably storing personnel costs per unit time,

The cover 13b is concealed as indicated by a virtual line. The cover 13b has a planned time Tp (hours) and a labor cost P per unit time by the ten-key switch 7g.
Operability by preventing erroneous operations after inputting data such as e (yen / hour) and the number of people Mp (people), and operating only the necessary key switches 7a to 7f during the conference. Is doing better.

The components other than the timepiece control circuit (not shown) provided in the timepiece 14, that is, the power supplies for the display unit 4 and the arithmetic unit 3 are the lever 14a provided at the bottom of the timepiece 14.
The power supply state, that is, the "power ON" state is set when the power supply voltage is lowered. This power supply state is stopped when the scheduled time Tp (time) input by operating the ON / OFF key switch 7i of the remote controller 13 or by operating the time key switch 7a is exceeded by a predetermined time, as described later, that is, The power is off. This prevents the battery (not shown) of the timepiece 14 from being consumed as much as possible, but this is not the case when a commercial power source is used as a power source or a solar cell is used.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 3 and 4. (1) Registration Mode Steps 101 to 121 shown in FIG. 3 show a mode in which necessary data is registered before the conference starts. First, when the lever 14a of the timepiece 14 is pulled down, the process proceeds to step 101, the power is turned on, and the step 1
Go to 02. The step 102 is the number of people key switch 7
This is a step to determine whether or not c has been turned on.
If so, the process proceeds to step 103. In step 103, the operation signal of the numeric keypad switch 7g is input, and in step 104
Go to. In step 104, the registration key switch 7h turns off.
This is a step of determining whether or not N has been performed, and if it is ON, the process proceeds to step 105. Step 105 is a step of storing the numerical value input by the numeric keypad switch 7g in step 103 as the number of people Mp (person) in the number-of-people storage unit 6, and after processing step 105, step 10
At 6, the value of the number of people Mp (person) is displayed on the display 4a of the display unit 4, and the alarm sound is generated once by the speaker 4b.

The judgment in step 102 is OFF.
If yes, go to step 108. Step 10
Reference numeral 8 is a step for determining whether or not the personnel expense key switch 7b is turned on, and if it is turned on, the process proceeds to step 109. Steps 109 to 113 are steps for performing the same processes as the steps 103 to 107, and the personnel cost Pe (yen / hour) per unit time input by the ten-key switch 7g is stored in the personnel cost storage unit 1. At the same time, the value of the labor cost Pe (yen / hour) is displayed on the display 4a, and the speaker 4b generates an alarm sound once.

The judgment in step 108 is OFF.
If yes, go to step 114. Step 11
Reference numeral 4 is a step for determining whether or not the time key 7a is turned on, and when it is turned on, the routine proceeds to step 115. The steps 115 to 119 are also executed in the steps 103 to 103.
This is a step for performing the same processing as step 107,
The scheduled time Tp (hour) of the conference input by the ten-key 7g is stored in the scheduled time storage unit 5, the value of the scheduled time Tp (hour) is displayed on the display 4a, and the speaker 4b generates an alarm sound once. . The data stored in each of the storage units 1, 5 and 6 is held by a backup power source (not shown), and the stored data is not erased until new data is registered. Therefore, if the number key switch 7C, the labor cost key switch 7b, and the time key switch 7a are not turned on after the power is turned on in step 101, the previously stored data is adopted to proceed the arithmetic processing.

After passing through any of the steps 102 to 119, the process proceeds to step 120. The step 120 includes ON / OFF key switch 7
This is a step to judge whether i is turned ON,
If so, the process proceeds to step 134 described later to turn off the power.
Then, the power supply to the device is stopped. If the determination in step 120 is OFF, the process proceeds to step 121. Step 121 is a step of determining whether or not the start key switch 7d is turned on. If it is turned on, the process proceeds to step 122, which will be described later, and if it is turned off, the step 10 is performed.
Return to 2.

(2) Personnel expense calculation mode Steps 122 to 142 shown in FIG. 4 show a mode in which the personnel expense PE (yen) required for the conference is calculated every moment during the conference. First, in step 122, the data of the elapsed time Tq (time) is set to zero, and the process proceeds to step 123. Step 123 is a step of reading time data from the time measuring unit 2, and measures the elapsed time Tq (time) after the ON operation of the start key switch 7d from the read data, and proceeds to step 124. Step 124
Is the number of persons Mp (person) data stored in the number-of-persons storage unit 6, the labor cost Pe (yen / hour) data per unit time stored in the labor cost storage unit 1, and the elapsed time measured in step 123. This is a step of calculating the labor cost PE (yen) = Mp × Pe × Tq required up to the present time based on the Tq (time) data, and after executing this step, step 12
Go to 5.

Steps 125 to 133 are steps for executing processing according to the situation of the elapsed time Tq (time) with respect to the scheduled time Tp (time) stored in the scheduled time storage unit 5. That is, when the elapsed time Tq (time) reaches a predetermined time, for example, half of the scheduled time Tp (time), an alarm sound is generated once by the speaker 4b in steps 125 and 126. When the elapsed time Tq (hour) reaches 10 (minutes) before the scheduled time Tp (hour), an alarm sound is generated by the speaker 4b in steps 127 and 128.
Occur once. When the elapsed time Tq (time) reaches the scheduled time Tp (time), the alarm sound is generated five times by the speaker 4b in steps 129 and 130. Further, the elapsed time Tq (hour) is equal to the scheduled time Tp (hour) 5
When it exceeds 9 (minutes), the alarm sound is generated 7 times in the speaker 4b in steps 131 and 132. Also,
When the elapsed time Tq (hour) exceeds the scheduled time Tp (hour) by 1 (hour), the power is turned off in steps 133 and 134. That is, the steps 133, 13
Step 4 is a step of executing a so-called auto power OFF function in order to prevent useless consumption of the battery. Further, the steps 131 and 132 function as a notice before the power is turned off.

Next, if the judgment at step 133 is NO, the routine proceeds to step 135. Steps 135-138
Is a step of switching the display on the display 4a. That is, the display 4a displays the labor cost PE (yen) required unless the other key switches are operated after the start key switch 7d is turned on. When the ON operation is determined, in step 137, the display content of the display 4a is switched to the display of the elapsed time Tq (time). The labor cost PE required to display the elapsed time Tq (hour)
To return to the display of (yen), if the personnel cost key switch 7b is turned on, the labor cost PE (yen) required in steps 138 and 136 will be displayed.

Next, after executing steps 136 and 138, the process proceeds to step 139. Steps 139-142 are
This is a step of executing processing at the time of suspending, resuming, and ending the conference. That is, it is turned on in step 139.
When the ON operation of the / OFF key switch 7i is determined, the process proceeds to step 134 and the power is turned off. When it is determined in step 140 that the stop key switch 7e is ON, the process proceeds to step 141, and a closed loop is formed between steps 141 and 142 until it is determined in step 141 that the continue key switch 7f is ON. , Goes into a standby state. Therefore, the stop key switch 7e is turned on.
After the operation, the elapsed time Tq (time) and the labor cost PE (yen) required until the continuation key switch 7f is turned on are held. However, if the stop key switch 7e is kept turned on for, for example, 3 (seconds) or more, the determination in step 142 is YES, and the process proceeds to step 134 to turn off the power.
