JPS63314057A - Time setting system for gathering employment data through telephone circuit - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a failure in gathering due to timing deviation of the gathering time by setting the waiting time for which a computer waits to start gathering of worker employment data in another position after gathering worker employment data in one position, to a computer system in accordance with the difference of closing time between two positions. CONSTITUTION:Worker employment data is successively gathered by a personal computer 1 through telephone circuit 12 and MODEMs 11 and 13. A dialing time T0 is set to an online time recorder 2 whose data is first gathered, and a waiting time T1 for which the computer 1 waits to dial a time recorder 3 after gathering employment data from the recorder 2 is set to the computer in accordance with the difference of closing time between both offices. Waiting times T2, T3... for which the computer 1 waits to dial following recorders after gathering employment data recorded on time recorders 3, 4... are set respectively. Thus, a failure in data gathering does not occur and employment data of all workers can be gathered.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention allows data collection to be performed at - location by specifying how many minutes or hours to wait after data collection from one time coder ends to start data collection at the next location. This eliminates the possibility that even if it takes too long to collect data at another location, the data collection time at another location may deviate from the desired time, resulting in a data collection error.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention is a telephone line-based employment system that collects work data such as the arrival and departure times of employees of multiple offices, stores, factories, and other places by auto-dialing from the time recorder of each office via a telephone line. Data collection time setting method in management package [Prior art] Work data such as arrival and departure times of employees at multiple offices, stores, factories, etc. is important data directly related to salaries and the like. The employment data is collected at the head office, etc. every day after all employees leave work at each office, etc., but when collecting the data, sufficient care must be taken to avoid mistakes.

For example, the above-mentioned employment data is collected from the online time recorders installed at each of A, B, and 'C's offices to a personal combiator at the head office (center) via a telephone line activated by auto-dial. In conventional systems, the time to start collecting employment data recorded in each time recorder, that is, the dialing time, was set at 10:00 p.m. for office A, 22:20 for office B, and 22:20 for office B. For business establishments, it was set at 22:30, depending on the time when all employees at each establishment would leave work.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if the data collection time is set as described above, for example, if the telephone line is in poor condition and it takes an unexpectedly long time to collect the employee employment data recorded on the time recorder at office A, the time record for employee work at office B may be delayed. There is a possibility that the data collection start time will pass, and as a result, the data of office B may be read. For this reason, it is necessary to set each data collection start time with sufficient margin, and there is a problem in that setting the time is difficult.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a system for collecting employee work data recorded in online time recorders installed in multiple offices, stores, factories, etc. via telephone lines. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a data collection time setting method that prevents the occurrence of collection errors due to deviations and also allows easy time setting.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 shows a system configuration principle diagram for explaining the employment data collection time setting method of the present invention. This diagram shows the online time recorder 2.3.4 installed at each business office, etc.
．． 5, . . . is sequentially collected into a personal computer 1 at a head office or the like (center) via a telephone line 12 and a modem 11, 13.

In the present invention, the dialing time To for the online time recorder (OTRa) 2 from which data is first collected is set. Next, after the work data collection from the recorder 2 is completed, the second time recorder (
A waiting time T1 until dialing OTRb) 3 is set in the computer 1 according to the difference in the clocking-off times of both vehicles at a certain location.

Also, the second, third, etc. time recorders (OTRb,
0TRc, . . .) 3.4, . . . After the collection of the employment data recorded in 3.4, . . . is completed, the waiting times T2, T3 .

[For production]

The overall data collection start time is set by setting the work data collection start time To from the first time recorder (OTRa) 2 to the personal computer 1 at the head office (center), and the data is collected corresponding to each time recorder. Waiting time after completion of collection TI, T2, T3,...
is set. For this reason, after the data collection of one time recorder is completed, data collection of the next time recorder is started after a desired time set according to the leaving time of the office where the next time recorder is installed. Employment data of all employees can be collected without collecting errors.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the employment data collection time setting method of the present invention. When the personal computer 1 at the head office, etc. (center) reaches the work data collection start time To, it first records the online time recorder (OT) at office A.
Ra) Auto dial to 2 (5topl),
! Collection of employee employment data recorded in recorder 2 is started (stop 2). Although the recorder 2 shares the telephone line with the facsimile, it is assumed that the switch has been made to the recorder side by time To. That is, when the last employee who leaves a certain personnel office completes data collection from the recorder (OTRa) 2, the computer 1 starts a timer (not shown), sets the time, and completes the data collection corresponding to each time recorder. Later waiting time T +
, T2, T3, . . . are set. For this reason, after the data collection of one time recorder is completed, data collection of the next time recorder is started after a desired time set according to the leaving time of the office where the next time recorder is installed. , measure T1 at which the employment data of all employees can be collected without data collection errors (step 3) The online time recorder (OTRb) 3 is automatically dialed (step 4), and the telephone line has been switched from the facsimile side to the recorder 3 side by this time, similarly to the above-mentioned time recorder 2.

When the collection of employment data for office B is completed, computer l starts a timer (not shown) and measures time T2 (
step 6). When the time T2 has elapsed, the computer 1 automatically dials the third time recorder, that is, the online time recorder (OTRc) 4 of office C (step 7), and collects employment data (stop 8).
.

Employment data collection similar to the one described above is performed on the online time recorders of all offices, etc., and unlike the conventional method of setting the data collection time for each time recorder individually, data collection errors can occur even if the telephone line is in bad condition. (The collection of employment data for all employees will be completed.)

As described above, the dialing time To of the online time recorder (OTRa) 2, which is the first data collection target, the waiting time of the computer 1 after the collection of work data from each time recorder is completed, T1, T2, T3, etc.
By setting ・, it becomes possible to collect employment data unattended.

Although not specifically described in this embodiment, the standby time of the computer 1 after data collection from each online time recorder is completed T + , T 2 , T 3 , . . .
Since there is a relatively high degree of freedom in the settings, it is quite possible to incorporate countermeasures against external interference factors (busy, noise, etc.) during data collection, such as trying, into the program of the computer 1. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, there is no need to estimate in advance the time required to collect data from the time recorders of each business office, etc., so it becomes easy to set the collection time, and it is possible to prevent collection errors due to timing shifts in collection times.
