The mobile terminal 20 is a terminal possessed by a user who is an employee of the store and capable of executing an application or the like related to each business such as attendance registration. Here, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 20 is a smartphone, but the present invention is not limited to this. The mobile terminal 20 may be another portable terminal device such as a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, or a handy terminal.

The mobile terminal 20 is connected to the cash register 30 which is an external electronic device by short-range wireless communication by Bluetooth. It is assumed that the cash register 30 to be connected has been paired in advance.

Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth, the user who owns the mobile terminal 20 cannot connect the mobile terminal 20 and the cash register 30 unless he / she approaches a predetermined distance from the cash register 30. In the present embodiment, by utilizing this characteristic, the attendance registration can be performed on the condition that the mobile terminal 20 is connected to the cash register 30, so that the attendance is performed only when the employee who is the user is in the store. It is configured so that you can register.

In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 provided in the attendance management system 1 and the cash register 30 to be connected are each one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and there are a plurality of mobile terminals. May be good. Therefore, the mobile terminal 20 and the cash register 30 are not limited to being connected 1: 1. For example, a plurality of cash registers 30 may be connected to one mobile terminal 20, or a plurality of mobile terminals 20 may be connected to one cash register 30.

The cash register 30, which is an external electronic device, is a sales data processing device such as ECR installed in a store such as a private store or a supermarket, and it is assumed that at least one unit is installed in one store.

The cash register 30 includes a timekeeping unit 31. The timekeeping unit 31 has a built-in timekeeping circuit to measure the current time and the current date. By performing the timekeeping by the timekeeping unit 31, the data of the sales registration performed by the cash register 30 can be stored in a storage unit (not shown) in association with the time when the sales registration is performed. In the present embodiment, the time measured as the current time by the time measuring unit 31 is referred to as a cash register time (second current time). Further, as will be described in detail in FIG. 5, the cash register time is timed in a format based on the business day of the store.

Further, the cash register 30 can be connected to the mobile terminal 20 by short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth. On the other hand, it is not connected to the network N and cannot be connected to other terminals via the network. Therefore, the cash register time measured by the time measuring unit 31 cannot be periodically synchronized with the standard time, and is the current time at which a deviation may occur.

The clock unit 17 is a real-time clock, clocks the current time and the current date, and outputs the clock to the CPU 11. The current time information measured by the time measuring unit 17 is periodically synchronized with the standard time by connecting to a time server (not shown) via the network N. In the present embodiment, the time measured as the current time by the time measuring unit 17 is referred to as a server time (first current time).

Next, the physical configuration of the mobile terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a physical configuration of the mobile terminal 20.

The mobile terminal 20 includes a CPU 21, an operation unit 22, a RAM 23, a display unit 24, a storage unit 25, a communication unit 26, a timekeeping unit 27, and a short-range wireless communication unit 28. Each part of the mobile terminal 20 is connected via a bus 29.

Regarding the CPU 21, RAM 23, display unit 24, and timekeeping unit 27, the same parts as the CPU 11, RAM 13, display unit 14, and timekeeping unit 17 of the server 10 will be omitted, and different parts will be mainly described.

The CPU 21 controls each part of the terminal device 20. The operation unit 22 has a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit 24, receives a touch input from the user, and outputs the operation information to the CPU 21.

Next, the functional configuration of the attendance management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the attendance management system 1.

The attendance management system 1 includes a registration instruction operation reception unit 41, a server time acquisition unit 42, a registration time acquisition unit 43, and a registration unit 44.

The registration instruction operation reception unit 41 receives a registration instruction operation of commuting time or leaving time by a user who is an employee. Specifically, first, the user makes a Bluetooth connection between his / her own mobile terminal 20 and the cash register 30 provided in his / her workplace via the short-range wireless communication unit 28. Then, on condition that the connection is made, the user accepts the registration instruction operation via the operation unit 22 of the mobile terminal 20.

The server time acquisition unit 42 acquires the server time measured as the current time by the time counting unit 17 when the instruction operation by the registration instruction operation reception unit 41 is received.

When the registration instruction operation reception unit 41 receives the instruction operation, the cash register time acquisition unit 43 acquires the cash register time measured as the current time by the timekeeping unit 31 of the cash register 30 via the short-range wireless communication unit 28.

The registration unit 44 associates the server time acquired by the server time acquisition unit 42 with the registration time acquired by the registration time acquisition unit 43, and registers the server time as the attendance time or the departure time in the attendance DB 60.

Next, the timekeeping method of the cash register 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a timekeeping method of the cash register 30.

As described above, the cash register time measured as the current time by the timekeeping unit 31 of the cash register 30 is timed in a format based on the business day of the store. In order to show this timekeeping format, the time lapse 50 as shown in FIG. 5 will be used for explanation.

First, as a premise, the store equipped with this cash register 30 has a business start time of 7:00 am and a business end time of 1:00 am, which is midnight when the date changes, that is, the business hours are "7:00 to 1:00 the next day." It is assumed that it is "00 minutes". Then, it is assumed that the change of business days is set at 4:00 am instead of Masako. The reason why the switching is set at 4:00 am is that it is just in the middle of the business end time and the business start time. In the present embodiment, since a business day is used as a working day in attendance management, management becomes complicated if the commuting time and the leaving time extend over the business day. Therefore, it is possible to avoid this by setting the switching of business days to a time just in the middle from the business end time to the business start time. However, the above configuration is only an example and can be set as appropriate.

FIG. 5 shows the cash register time according to the passage of time. First, the first cash register time 51 indicates "23:59 on March 20, 2017". At this time, the calendar day, which is the actual date, is also "March 20, 2017". Then, when the time advances by 1 minute, the second cash register time 52 indicates "24:00 on March 20, 2017". At this time, the calendar day is switched to "March 21, 2017", but since the cash register time is clocked based on the business day, the date is not switched and the time is also shown as "24:00". Is done.

Then, as the time goes further, the third check-in time 53 indicates "March 20, 2017 27:59". Since the business day changes at 4:00 am, the business day "March 20, 2017" ends here. When the time advances by one minute, the fourth check-in time 54 indicates "March 21, 2017 4:00". Here, the business day is switched to "March 21, 2017", and the time also returns to the initial value of "4:00" instead of "28:00". The above is the timekeeping format of the cash register 30, and the so-called 28-hour system is used.

Next, the attendance DB 60 stored in the storage unit 15 of the server 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of the attendance DB 60.

The attendance DB 60 is for registering the time of attendance and departure of each employee, and the attendance DB 60 includes an item 61 indicating an attendance management ID, an item 62 indicating the user name for which attendance registration has been performed, an item 63 indicating attendance and departure, and a date. 64, an item 65 indicating the server time, and an item 66 indicating the registration time.

In item 61, an attendance management ID, which is identification information assigned to each information in order to manage the registered attendance information, is registered. In item 62, a user name indicating who the registered attendance information belongs to is registered. In item 63, the type of attendance / departure indicating whether the registered information is related to attendance or departure is registered.

In item 64, the registered date of attendance and departure is registered. Note that this date is not a date as a calendar day, but a date as a business day. Therefore, as will be described in detail later, the date registered in this item 64 is not the one timed by the timekeeping unit 17 of the server 10, but the date registered by the timekeeping unit 31 of the cash register 30.

In item 65, the server time when each user registers attendance is registered as the attendance time and the leaving time. In item 66, the cash register time when each user registers attendance is registered as the attendance time and the leaving time. Since the registration time described in FIG. 5 is registered in item 66, it is displayed in a 28-hour system.

The item contents included in the attendance DB 60 as described above are registered corresponding to each attendance information. For example, looking at the attendance management ID "A001", the "commuting" of "2017/3/20" of "user A" is "6:10" at the server time and "6:12" at the cash register time. You can see that you "commute".

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a display screen for accepting the attendance registration instruction operation will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display screen that accepts an attendance registration instruction operation.

The display screen shown in FIG. 7 is a display screen when a user who is an employee registers a work time or a work time on the mobile terminal 20. Specifically, this screen is displayed by executing the attendance registration application on the mobile terminal 20 and logging in by entering the user's own ID and password. It should be noted that the user may be specified by associating it with the mobile terminal 20 without specifying the user by login or the like, but one mobile terminal 20 can be shared by a plurality of people, or the user can be changed due to retirement or the like. In order to do so, it is preferable to have a configuration that can identify the user.

As shown in FIG. 7, a server time 71, an attendance button 72, an attendance button 73, and an attendance status list 74 are displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 20.

The server time 71 is the server time, which is the current time clocked by the clock unit 17 of the server 10. It should be noted that the time measured by the time measuring unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20 may be used instead of the server time.

The commuting button 72 and the leaving button 73 are buttons for registering the commuting time and the leaving time in the attendance DB 60, and the server time and the cash register time when the buttons are pressed are registered in the attendance DB 60 as the commuting time or the leaving time. do. The attendance button 72 and the leave button 73 may be configured to be displayed when the connection with the cash register 30 via the short-range wireless communication unit 28 is confirmed. If the connection is not confirmed, the cash register may be displayed. It is advisable to display a message prompting to make a connection with 30. The attendance status list 74 is a button for displaying the list of attendance status described with reference to FIG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the server time and the cash register time will be compared and described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a comparison between the server time and the registration time.

First, the server time 81, which is the current time clocked by the server 10, indicates "March 21, 2017 6:15". As described above, the server time 81 is periodically synchronized with the standard time via the network N.

On the other hand, the cash register time 82, which is the current time clocked at the cash register 30, indicates "March 21, 2017 6:17", which is different from the server time 81. This is because the cash register 30 is not connected to the network N, and the cash register time 82 cannot be synchronized at the standard time on a regular basis like the server time 81, so that there is a deviation. In the attendance management system 1 of the present embodiment, these two times are associated with each other as the attendance time or the leaving time and registered in the attendance DB 60.

Next, the attendance status list screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an attendance status list screen.

The attendance status list screen is a screen for displaying attendance information registered in the attendance DB 60. The attendance status list screen is a screen displayed when there is an instruction operation by the user, for example, when the button 74 is pressed. Although FIG. 9 shows the state of being displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 20, it is assumed that the display unit 14 of the server 10 can also be displayed. As shown in FIG. 9, the attendance status list screen includes a working day 91, a commuting time 92, and a leaving time 93.

The working day 91 is a date indicating when the commuting time 92 or the leaving time 93 is, and corresponds to the date registered in the item 64 of the attendance DB 60. The commuting time 92 and the leaving time 93 are the times registered in the items 65 and 66 of the attendance DB 60, and the display without parentheses is the server time and the display with parentheses is the cash register time. As a result, the two times can be easily visually recognized.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the flow of attendance registration processing in the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the attendance registration process in the first embodiment. The attendance registration process is performed by receiving an instruction operation for registering the attendance time or the leaving time from the mobile terminal 20 owned by the user when the user who is an employee is in the store. At this time, the registered commuting time and leaving time are registered in association with the server time and the cash register time. Further, it is assumed that this process is performed by executing a dedicated application.

First, when the application is executed, the CPU 22 searches for the pre-paired cash register 30 via the short-range wireless communication unit 28 (step S11). Then, it is determined whether or not the connection with the predetermined cash register 30 has been confirmed (step S12).

When the connection with the cash register 30 can be confirmed (step S12; YES), the attendance button 72 and the leave button 73 are displayed on the display unit 24 (step S13). Then, the CPU 22 accepts the pressing of the attendance button 72 and the departure button 73 by the user's instruction operation (step S14). That is, the CPU 21 functions as a registration instruction operation receiving unit 41.

When the press of the attendance button 72 or the exit button 73 is accepted (step S14; YES), the registration time, which is the current time measured by the connected cash register 30, is received (step S15). That is, the CPU 21 functions as the registration time acquisition unit 43. Then, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the received registration time to the server 10 (step S16), and the server 10 sets the server time as the current time by the timekeeping unit 17 when the reception is performed (step S17; YES). Acquire (step S18). The timing of acquiring the server time may be configured to be performed when the registration instruction operation is performed in step S14. Then, the CPU 11 associates the timed server time with the cash register time and registers it in the attendance DB 60 of the storage unit 15 (step S19). At this time, since the business day is registered as a reference in the item 64 of the attendance DB 60, the date measured by the timekeeping unit 31 of the cash register 30 is registered. That is, the CPU 11 functions as a server time acquisition unit 42 and a registration unit 44.

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the mobile terminal 20 is confirmed to be connected to the cash register 30 by short-range wireless communication, the commuting time or the leaving time can be registered. Further, the server time and the registration time can be registered in the attendance DB 60 in association with each other.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the attendance management system 1 is provided with a server 10 and a mobile terminal 20. In the second embodiment, the attendance management system 1 does not include the server 10 and is composed only of the mobile terminal 20. At this time, instead of the server time in the first embodiment, the mobile time measured by the time measuring unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20 is used. Further, it is assumed that the attendance DB 60 is stored in the storage unit 25 of the mobile terminal 20.

The flow of the attendance registration process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the attendance registration process in the second embodiment. In the flow of attendance registration processing of FIG. 11, the description of the same steps as the flow of attendance registration processing in the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the different parts will be described.

First, since steps S21 to S25 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. After receiving the registration time in step S25, the CPU 21 acquires the mobile time as the current time by the timekeeping unit 27 (step S26), and the CPU 21 associates the acquired server time with the registration time and stores the storage unit. Register in the attendance DB 60 of 15 (step S27).

As described above, in the second embodiment, the attendance management system 1 can be configured only by the mobile terminal 20 without the server 10.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 is an attendance management system 1 capable of connecting to the management server 10 via the network N, and the mobile terminal 20 is connected to the cash register 30 registered in advance by short-range wireless communication. The attendance time or the leaving time is registered on the condition that the time is set, the first current time measured by the server 10 is acquired, and the second current time measured by the cash register 30 is set via the mobile terminal 20 by short-range radio. It is acquired and at least one of the current time of the first current time and the second current time is registered as the work time or the leaving time, and the other current time is registered in association with the one current time. That is, the attendance management system 1 includes a registration means, a first acquisition means, and a second acquisition means.

Therefore, even when the timekeeping time is different for each device, it is possible to perform appropriate attendance management.

Further, the attendance management system 1 registers the commuting time or the leaving time when the user instructs the user to register the commuting time or the leaving time via the mobile terminal 20, and therefore, when the user goes to work or leaves the office. You can register your attendance correctly.

In addition, the cash register 30 is installed in each store, and the attendance management system 1 allows employees of each store to carry a mobile terminal and go to work at each store, so that the mobile terminal and the cash register 30 can be connected to each other. Register the work time or leave time when a short-range wireless connection is made. Therefore, attendance can be registered only when the employee is at the store.

In addition, the first current time corresponds to a time counting format in which the display time is reset to a predetermined first initial time in calendar day units, and the second current time is different from the calendar day unit. It corresponds to the timing format in which the display time is reset to a predetermined second initial time in units of business days. Therefore, attendance can be managed on a business day basis.

In addition, the date for which the commuting time or leaving time is registered is updated in business day units. Therefore, attendance can be managed on a business day basis.

Further, the attendance management system 1 outputs the first current time and the second current time together as the attendance time or the leaving time. Therefore, even if the time counting time is different for each device, each time can be grasped.

The description in the above embodiment is an example of an attendance management system, a management server, a mobile terminal, an attendance management method, and a program according to the present invention, and is not limited thereto.

Further, in the above embodiment, after the connection with the cash register 30 paired in advance can be confirmed on the mobile terminal 20, the attendance button 72 and the leaving button 73 are displayed on the display unit 24 to accept the user's instruction operation. However, it is not limited to this. The attendance button 72 and the leaving button 73 may be displayed in advance, and the connection with the cash register 30 may be started when the user gives an instruction operation. That is, in the flowchart in FIG. 10, steps S13, S14, S11, and S12 may be performed in this order. Similarly, in FIG. 11, steps S23, S24, S21, and S22 may be performed in this order. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal 20 from always searching for the paired device and reduce power consumption.

Further, in the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 accepts the registration instruction operation of the commuting time or the leaving time, but the operation may be accepted by the cash register 30. By doing so, it is possible to perform the registration instruction operation of the commuting time or the leaving time at the time when the business by the cash register 30 is started or ended.

Further, in the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 is configured to enable attendance registration when the connection with the pre-paired cash register 30 can be confirmed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by storing the device identification information of the cash register 30 capable of attendance registration in the storage unit 25 in advance, it is not simply connected to the paired cash register 30, but only when a specific cash register 30 can be identified. It can be configured so that attendance registration can be performed.
