Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention incorporates an IC (integrated circuit) and
This invention relates to a time recorder system that records each person's employment data using an IC time card equipped with a display.

[Conventional technology]

A so-called electronic time recorder, which is configured to store work data of each person recorded each time he or she leaves in a memory, and to read out the stored work data at a later date and use it for tabulation, etc., has a recording medium. A time card-type time recorder that uses a paper time card and prints out the above employment data sequentially in each printing field of the card (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 159782/1982), and A magnetic card type time recorder that uses a magnetic card (ID card) (for example, Utility Model 57-
(Refer to Publication No. 38266).

In the case of the former time card type time recorder, each person's employment data is printed out in the printing field of the time card, so it is preferable that each person's employment status can be directly checked visually, but on the other hand, It is necessary to record each individual code (employee code) every month with a punch, etc., and create time cards with names and affiliations written on them. , a complicated mechanism is required to control the feeding of code-specific information to the correct print field position according to the time zone, which leads to problems such as increase in the price of the recorder.Furthermore, it is necessary to store each person's employment data on the recorder side. Recorder 1 has a file memory for storing data.
There were some inconveniences in use, such as the number of users per unit being limited and the ability to record only on a recorder that had its own file memory set.

On the other hand, in the case of the latter type of magnetic card type time recorder, all information including personal information can be magnetically written onto the card, so there is no need for the troublesome card creation work that the time card type time recorder described above has. Moreover, since it uses a magnetic card that only reads the personal code without printing, it eliminates the need for a complicated card printing field positioning device, and has the advantage of greatly simplifying the structure of the recorder. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned magnetic card type time recorder, the employment data is not printed directly on the card surface, so the recorded employment data cannot be visually confirmed even by looking at the card. A printing device is required to issue a record sheet for confirmation, making the recorder even more complicated and expensive.In addition, in this method, as with the time card type time recorder, individual files are required. Due to the provision of memory, there were problems in use, such as the number of users per recorder being limited and the use of recorders other than those specified.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that one recorder can be used by a large number of people without any restrictions, and that any recorder can be used freely to record work data without the need for exclusive use of recorders. A time recorder that does not require a complicated card printing field position control device, can be manufactured at low cost, eliminates the need for troublesome time card issuance work, and furthermore allows all recorded work data to be displayed on the card for visual confirmation. We are here to provide you with a system.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

(1) Use an IC time card that is equipped with a control unit that performs arithmetic processing and storage of work data, and a display that displays the stored work data on the card.

(2) When the above IC time card is inserted, the IC
Use a recorder equipped with a time information input means for inputting time information, which serves as a reference for calculating the employment data, to the control section of the card.

[Effect]

The above means works as follows.

The factor (1) above is that the IC time card that each person carries is equipped with a control unit that performs arithmetic processing on work data and stores the calculated work data, so an individual file memory is installed on the recorder side. Therefore, one recorder can be used by many people without limiting the number of people, and since each person's work data is displayed on the IC time card display, recording sheets can be issued to the recorder side. There is no need to provide a printing device for the IC time card, and personal information can be easily entered into the memory of the IC time card using a recorder, so the user can be freed from the troublesome work of creating cards.

The element (2) above sends time information to the control unit of the inserted IC time card, so the control unit of the IC time card receives various work data at the start of work and at the time of work based on this time information. can be calculated, and by simply providing a means to input this time information on the recorder side,
Since a complicated mechanism such as a printing field position control device is not required, the recorder can be manufactured simply and at low cost.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problem can be solved by the above-mentioned means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
