Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-115021

  However, in the above-mentioned attendance management system, the attendance information of employees (such as attendance time) is managed by the management server, so that there is a problem that the employee cannot confirm his attendance information freely. For this reason, the employee cannot know whether or not his / her attendance information is correctly registered. In particular, shift workers such as part-time workers and part-time workers may want to know how many days (how many hours) they have worked because wages vary depending on the number of days or hours worked in a month.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a personal identification medium and an attendance management system capable of easily confirming attendance information.

The personal identification medium of the present invention is a personal identification medium that is used for time stamping and is assigned an ID for identifying an individual. Leaving and leaving date and time receiving means for receiving the date and time of leaving the company and the date and time of leaving from the external terminal, the entering and leaving date and time storing means for storing the received date and time and leaving the company in a nonvolatile manner, and the personal information storage means for storing personal information about the individual, Display means for displaying the history of entering and leaving the company, the history of leaving the company, and display contents including personal information, and the display means displays the display contents by using an imprint at the time of leaving the office as a trigger, The display content is cleared as a trigger .

  According to this configuration, the personal identification medium receives the start date / time and the leave date / time from the external terminal, and stores the date / time in a nonvolatile manner. Further, personal information for specifying an individual who uses the personal identification medium is stored. Then, the stored history of entry / exit date and personal information are displayed on the display means. In other words, it is possible to display a history of attendance / leaving time, which is generally managed by an attendance / exit server or the like and cannot be known without accessing the attendance / exit server, on a personal identification medium carried by the employee (individual). As a result, the employee can easily (at a glance) confirm his / her attendance information (history of the date and time of leaving or leaving the company), and can know whether or not his / her attendance information is correctly registered. In particular, shift workers such as part-time workers and part-time workers have different wages depending on the number of days or hours worked in a month, so it is important to know how many days (hours) they worked. . Even in such a case, the attendance information can be easily confirmed by using the personal identification medium.

  According to this configuration, the history of leaving and leaving the office and personal information are displayed using the time stamp when leaving the office as a trigger, and the display contents are cleared using the time stamp when leaving the office as a trigger. In other words, the attendance information and the personal information are displayed on the personal identification medium when in the office, but the display of these information disappears (the display content is cleared) when going out of the office. Thereby, for example, even when the personal identification medium is lost outside the company, it is possible to prevent the attendance information and personal information from leaking.

  The personal identification medium of the present invention is preferably a card-type medium.

  According to this configuration, the personal identification medium is formed in a card shape. Thereby, for example, it can be used as a substitute for a widely used employee card, which is convenient.
