Description

  The present invention relates to a time card and a time recorder using the time card, more specifically, a time card in which an employee's name and card layout are printed on a blank card, and a bar code printed on the time card. The present invention relates to a time recorder that prints time and date, a date, a total (for example, a predetermined number of hours, the number of overtime hours) and the like according to the information.

Conventionally, a commercially available time card on which a card identification code for identifying a card is printed in advance is purchased, and the time and attendance times are printed on the time card by a time recorder. The time recorder reads the card identification code and stores the time in the memory corresponding to the card identification code when the time stamp is printed, thereby managing the work status of the employee. A time recorder that can be used has been proposed and put into practical use (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-78423 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the above-mentioned time recorder uses a commercially available time card, but each card has a card-specific identification code printed thereon, so the card identification of the old time card of the previous month every month There was a problem that a card transfer operation was required to take over that the code and the card identification code of this month's new time card were the same employee's card identification code.

The present invention solves the above problems and does not carry out the card transfer operation for associating the employee code unique to the employee with the card identification code unique to the time card. This eliminates the need to take over the new and old time card identification codes at the end of each month, and flexibly supports different time card specifications depending on whether the employee is a regular employee or a part-time employee. It is an object to provide a time card creation system and a time recorder using the time card.

In order to solve the above problems, the time card creation system according to the present invention includes an employee data file storing employee names and employee codes, a layout to be printed on a blank card, and a setting corresponding to the layout. A layout data file for storing the layout code, and a predetermined employee code selected from the employee data file and a predetermined layout code selected from the layout data file. The employee code and the layout code stored in the memory, converted into the work memory, are converted into a barcode, and the converted barcode is printed on a blank card .

  The bar code may include a work shift code that defines a work shift.

In order to solve the above problems, a time recorder according to the present invention obtains a layout code from the bar code , determines a layout of the time card based on the obtained layout code, and performs printing corresponding to the layout. And

  According to the invention of claim 1, the card identification code of the time card that has been set for the time card in the past is no longer required, the linking work between the employee code and the time card is unnecessary, and an old card that is performed at the end of each month. This eliminates the need to transfer cards from one card to a new card, making time card management easier. In addition, the time card layout can be freely set, so that the layout can be freely set according to the employee regardless of whether the employee is a full-time employee or a part-time employee.

  According to the invention of claim 2, when a plurality of shift work having different closing days, start work times, end work times, overtime start times, fractional processing, etc. are set, it is necessary to set only different work numbers (shift numbers). However, since the number of shifts is limited due to the memory capacity of the machine, setting the shifts to bar codes eliminates the need for setting and makes it unnecessary to limit the number of shifts.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the time card layout can be determined from the barcode printed on the time card, and the contents of printing and the printing place can be changed corresponding to the layout. Although it is a single time recorder, it can support time cards with various specifications. In addition, since the type of time card can be determined from the layout code, it is not necessary to set the deadline or start time of the time recorder, and the operation and management of the time recorder becomes easy.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a system for creating a time card according to the present invention, which can print employee names and time card layouts on a blank time card (hereinafter referred to as a blank card) a. This system is composed of a personal computer 1, a keyboard 2 for inputting various data, a monitor 3 for displaying information processed by the personal computer 1, and a printer 4. Includes an employee data file 5 storing employee names and employee codes, a layout data file 6 storing layouts to be printed on blank cards, and storing layout codes set corresponding to the layouts, and processing Memory 8 in which program 7 is stored and control for controlling the system according to the processing program 9 and are accommodated.

  When creating a time card for full-time employees (for example, closing for 20 days) from the blank card a in the system configured as described above, the operator operates the keyboard 2 to set the 20-day time for full-time employees from the layout data file 6. The card layout is displayed on the screen of the monitor 3 and the layout code is stored in the work memory. A symmetric employee is selected from the employee data file 5 and displayed in the name field of the time card. The employee code is stored in the work memory.

  Next, the employee code C1 and the layout code C2 stored in the work memory are converted into a barcode (see FIG. 2) and pasted on the time card displayed on the monitor 3.

  When all necessary items are displayed on the time card on the screen, the blank card a is set in the printer 4 and when the printer 4 is instructed to start printing, the employee name 10, the card layout 11 and the barcode 12 displayed on the screen are displayed. A time card A1 for regular employees is printed (see FIG. 3A).

  When creating a part employee time card (for example, closing for 20 days) A2, a layout for the part employee is selected from the layout data file 6 and displayed on the screen of the monitor 3, and the layout code is displayed. A symmetric part employee is selected from the employee data file 5 and displayed in the name field of the time card, and the employee code is stored in the work memory.

  When all necessary items are displayed on the time card on the screen, the blank card a is set in the printer 4 and when the printer 4 is instructed to start printing, the part employee name 10 displayed on the screen and the card layout 11 for the part employee are displayed. And the time card A2 for the part employees on which the barcode 12 is printed is completed (see FIG. 3B).

  As described above, the monitor 3 selects a target card layout from preset card layouts according to various conditions such as whether the employee is a full-time employee or a part-time employee, and the closing date is the 20th or the end of the month. The employee is selected from the employee data file 5 and pasted on the time card displayed on the screen to adjust the appearance of the time card, and the employee code and layout code are a series of data. If this data is converted into a barcode and pasted on the time card displayed on the screen to complete the time card, and the appearance is printed on the blank card a, the time card A with a bar code can be easily obtained. Can be created.

  The above is an example in which employee code and layout code are displayed from the employee data file and layout data file, stored in work memory, and barcode printed on the time card. Normal work, semi-night work, night work For offices with complex work shifts such as the above, a work shift data file may be set in addition to the above two data, and the work shift code from this file may be displayed and stored in the work memory for barcode printing. Alternatively, the layout and the work shift may be linked, and the work shift may be set according to the layout code being set.

  And since the card identification code for the time card purchased as a supply becomes unnecessary, it is no longer necessary to take over the card identification code of the old time card and the card identification code of the new time card each time the month changes. Trouble can be avoided.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where the time and attendance times are printed on the time card A created by the above system using a time recorder.

  4 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the time recorder 20. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 21 denotes a CPU, 22 denotes a clock circuit, 23 denotes a ROM, 24 denotes a RAM, and the CPU 21 reads time information from the clock circuit 22. The time, day of the week, date, and the like are displayed on the display unit 25, and the motor drive circuit 26 is controlled to rotate and drive the card feed motor 27 in both the forward and reverse directions, whereby the time card A is pulled in and out. 28, the time is printed on the time card A by the printer 4.

  Further, the CPU 21 includes a card insertion detection sensor 29 for detecting a card inserted in the time recorder, a card position detection sensor 30 for detecting the amount of time card A fed by the card feed motor 27, and a time card A barcode. 12 is provided with a bar code reading unit 31, an operation button 32, and the like.

  The barcode reading unit 31 is configured by a reflection type photo interrupter for reading the barcode 12 printed on the time card A. From the barcode 12 read by the barcode reading unit 31, the CPU 21 determines the employee code and layout. The code can be recognized.

  Reference numeral 33 denotes a memory card reader / writer. Data in the RAM can be transferred to the memory card inserted into the memory card slot, and data in the memory card can be written into the RAM. Data can be exchanged between a personal computer and a time recorder using the time recorder, and the data exchanged from the time recorder to the personal computer is the time stamped, the total time, the total number of days (for example, the number of working days), etc. Aggregation is performed. In this case, data for a longer period (2 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.) and backup data are stored.

  The ROM 23 (EEPROM) stores the time recorder control program, and the RAM 24 stores the scheduled shift indicating the working hours of the individual monthly schedule and the LST (date change time) corresponding to each shift number. Has been.

  In accordance with the time recorder control program in the ROM 23, the CPU 21 performs card driving, time printing, and time counting, and determines the layout of the time card A inserted into the card insertion slot from the layout code read from the bar code 12 to the time card A. The printing position and printing contents are determined, and printing corresponding to the layout of the time card A can be performed.

  When the time card A is inserted into the time recorder 20 configured as described above, the barcode reading unit 31 reads the employee code and the layout code from the barcode 12. From the read layout code, the CPU 21 can determine whether the time card A is a time card A for a regular employee or a time card A for a part-time employee, and the specification of the time card such as what time card the closing date is. When the time when the time card is inserted is printed on the time card, the content determined according to the specification of the time card is printed at the determined position.

  For example, if it is a time card for regular employees, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the late time and overtime may be printed in the late and overtime fields, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the attendance time, the leaving time, and the working time may be printed in the attendance column, the leaving column, and the number of hours column, respectively.

  As described above, the specification of the time card A can be determined by reading the barcode 12, the print position can be determined according to the specification, printing can be performed at the determined position, and the print data is the same every month. Since it can be recorded with the employee code, subsequent tying work becomes unnecessary.

  In addition, even if the time card layout differs between regular employees and part-time employees, this layout can be determined by reading the barcode, and one time recorder can handle any layout of time cards. Is possible.

  Furthermore, the type of time card can be determined from the layout code, and settings such as the closing date and start time in the time recorder are not required.
