[0011] The embodiments described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component arrangement and connection forms, steps, and order of steps shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Furthermore, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not described in the independent claims are described as optional components.

[0012] In addition, each drawing is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily a precise illustration. In addition, in each drawing, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0013] Hereinafter, the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] (Embodiment) <Configuration> First, a work status management system 1, a work status management method, and a program according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3.

[0015] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a work status management system 1 according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a series of processes from when a worker inputs the start of work to an input unit 11 to when the worker takes a break after finishing the work. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the worker is working on a task and a state in which the worker is not working on a task based on the movement of the worker's face during a task.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the work status management system 1 is a system that enables workers and supervisors to set the time when workers work at home, a cram school, a factory, an office, etc. Work includes study, work, etc. In the case of home and a cram school, the worker is, for example, a learner such as a student. For example, the work status management system 1 enables the learner to set the time when he or she will study, and the learner's supervisor to set the time when the learner will study. In the case of a factory or an office, the worker is, for example, a worker who performs work. For example, the work status management system 1 enables the worker to set the time when he or she will perform work, and the worker's supervisor to set the time when the worker will perform work.

[0017] The work status management system 1 includes an input unit 11, a state acquisition unit 12, a state extraction unit 13, an effort time calculation unit 14, a break time calculation unit 15, a work management unit 20, a break candidate time calculation unit 16, and a presentation unit 17. The state extraction unit 13, the effort time calculation unit 14, the break time calculation unit 15, and the break candidate time calculation unit 16 may be one information processing device such as a personal computer. The input unit 11 and the presentation unit 17 may be an input display device such as a monitor. The input unit 11, the state acquisition unit 12, the state extraction unit 13, the effort time calculation unit 14, the break time calculation unit 15, the break candidate time calculation unit 16, and the presentation unit 17 may be one information processing device such as a personal computer or a tablet terminal. In FIG. 1, the work management unit 20 is provided in an external server or the like, but may be provided in one information processing device such as a personal computer together with the state extraction unit 13, the effort time calculation unit 14, the break time calculation unit 15, and the break candidate time calculation unit 16.

[0018] The input unit 11 receives inputs of a work time, which is the time during which a worker works, and the start of work. As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the input unit 11 receives inputs of a work time of "30 minutes" and the start of work. The input unit 11 can receive inputs of work times from workers and supervisors, and inputs of the start of work from workers and supervisors. The work time is a period during which a worker works, and can be shown by time, for example, "from xxx:xxx to xxx:xxx", or by a period, for example, "xxx minutes". The start of work is the timing at which a worker starts work. The input of the start of work to the input unit 11 may be input of a start time (start time) to the input unit 11, or may be input of the start of work to the input unit 11. The input unit 11 outputs the input work time to the work management unit 20, as shown in (c) of FIG. 2. The input unit 11 also outputs the input work time to the candidate rest time calculation unit 16.

[0019] The state acquisition unit 12 acquires information indicating a worker. Specifically, the state acquisition unit 12 acquires a worker image, which is information indicating a worker. The worker image includes the movement of the worker, and for example, as shown in FIG. 3, includes the movement of the worker's face, the movement of the eyes, and the like. In this embodiment, the worker image shows the movement of the worker's face. The movement of the face includes the size of the face indicating the relative depth relationship with the state acquisition unit 12, the position of the face in the worker image, the direction of the face with respect to the state acquisition unit 12, and the like. The worker image is a moving image of a worker. Therefore, the worker image includes the working time. The worker image may be a still image including the time.

[0020] For example, the state acquisition unit 12 may be an imaging device such as a camera. In this case, the state acquisition unit 12 can acquire a worker image by capturing an image of the worker.

[0021] 1, the state acquisition unit 12 may be an input interface that acquires a worker image captured by an imaging device such as a camera. In this case, the state acquisition unit 12 can acquire the worker image captured by the imaging device that captured the worker.

[0022] The state acquisition unit 12 outputs the acquired worker image to the state extraction unit 13.

[0023] The state extraction unit 13 extracts the working state of the worker based on the information indicating the worker. Specifically, the state extraction unit 13 extracts the working state of the worker based on the worker image acquired by the state acquisition unit 12. The extraction includes the state extraction unit 13 determining the working state of the worker based on the worker image or detecting the working state of the worker. The working state of the worker includes a state in which the worker is working on the work and a state in which the worker is not working on the work. The state extraction unit 13 extracts a working state in which the worker is working on the work in a posture that allows the worker to work continuously within the working time based on the worker image. Specifically, when the face of the worker is extracted from the worker image, the state extraction unit 13 may extract that the state is that the worker is working on the work in a posture that allows the worker to work continuously.

[0024] The state extraction unit 13 outputs the task state that is the extraction result to the effort time calculation unit 14.

[0025] The working time calculation unit 14 calculates the working time, which is the state in which the worker is working on the work within the working time, based on the working state extracted by the state extraction unit 13. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the working time calculation unit 14 calculates the period during which the worker continuously worked on the work within the working time from the working time included in the worker image in the working state extracted by the state extraction unit 13, in other words, the period during which the worker is in a state of working on the work. For example, in this embodiment, if the state extraction unit 13 can extract the face of the worker based on the worker image, the state extraction unit 13 calculates the period during which the worker continuously worked on the work within the working time. Note that the state extraction unit 13 may calculate the working time by extracting the movement of the worker's line of sight based on the worker image. The time remaining after excluding the working time from the working time becomes the non-working time. The working time calculation unit 14 outputs the calculated working time to the work management unit 20, as shown in FIG. 2(c).

[0026] The break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time that the worker actually took a break, as shown in Fig. 1. For example, for a worker on a break, the break time calculation unit 15 may calculate the break time by acquiring information indicating the worker from the state acquisition unit 12. In another example, the worker and the supervisor may input the start and end of the break to the input unit 11, and the break time calculation unit 15 may calculate the break time based on the start and end of the break inputted to the input unit 11. The break time calculation unit 15 outputs the calculated break time to the work management unit 20, as shown in (c) of Fig. 2.

[0027] The work management unit 20 manages the work time, effort time, and rest time. That is, the work management unit 20 manages the work time, effort time, and rest time by acquiring the work time from the input unit 11, acquiring the effort time from the work management unit 20, and acquiring the rest time from the rest time calculation unit 15. For example, the work management unit 20 can manage the work time, effort time, and rest time as a chronological history. The work management unit 20 can also manage the work time, effort time, and rest time for each individual as a chronological history.

[0028] Furthermore, the work management unit 20 can output at least one of the managed work time, effort time, and rest time to the presentation unit 17. Furthermore, the work management unit 20 can output the ratio of effort time to work time to the presentation unit 17. This allows the presentation unit 17 to present, for example, at least one of the previous effort time, previous work time, and previous work time for a worker managed by the work management unit 20.

[0029] The candidate break time calculation unit 16 can calculate a candidate break time, which is a time for which a break is recommended to a worker, based on the working time. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(a), for example, when the working time is input to the input unit 11 as "30 minutes", the candidate break time calculation unit 16 can calculate the candidate break time as "5 minutes" based on the working time of "30 minutes". The candidate break time calculation unit 16 can also calculate the candidate break time by further taking into account the past history (past information) managed by the work management unit 20. The candidate break time calculation unit 16 may also calculate the candidate break time so that the candidate break time is longer in conjunction with the working time if the working time is longer. The calculation of the candidate break time will be described in detail later. The candidate break time calculation unit 16 outputs the calculated candidate break time to the presentation unit 17.

[0030] The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break times. That is, the presentation unit 17 obtains the candidate break times from the candidate break time calculation unit 16, thereby presenting the candidate break times.

[0031] The presentation unit 17 further presents at least one of the work time, the effort time, and the break time. That is, the presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time, the effort time, and the break time by acquiring the work time from the input unit 11, acquiring the effort time from the work management unit 20, or acquiring the break time from the break time calculation unit 15. For example, the presentation unit 17 presents the previous work time, the previous break time, and the previous effort time of a worker managed by the work management unit 20, based on the previous effort time, the previous work time, or the ratio of the previous effort time to the previous work time.

[0032] In addition, the presentation unit 17 may be able to present the next work time and the next potential break time for a worker managed by the work management unit 20 based on the previous working time, the previous work time, or the ratio of the previous working time to the previous work time.

[0033] Next, calculation of the candidate rest time will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

[0034] 4 is a diagram showing the "date", "student ID", "start of work", "end of work", "work time", "work time", "break time", and "candidate break time" when a worker worked on a task. Note that the times and durations shown in FIG. 4 are merely examples and are not limited to those described in this embodiment.

[0035] 4 shows a "date", a "student ID" that can identify the worker, a "work start" that indicates the time when the work is to be started, a "work end" that indicates the time when the work is to be ended, "work time", "working time", "break time", and "candidate break time". A data table of "student ID", "work start", "work end", "working time", "working time", "break time", and "candidate break time" is stored in the work management unit 20.

[0036] First, as shown in the first row of "Date" "20xx / 07 / 18" in Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, when the work start time "19:00" is input to the input unit 11 and the work time "30 minutes" is input to the input unit 11, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time as "5 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes". For example, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 may calculate this candidate break time using a means preset according to the work time, or may calculate the candidate break time based on the work time shown in the past history managed by the work management unit 20. The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break time "5 minutes" calculated by the candidate break time calculation unit 16.

[0037] After that, since the worker took a 5-minute break from the time "19:30" when the worker finished the work, the break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time to be "5 minutes". In addition, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time to be "25 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time "30 minutes", the effort time "25 minutes", and the break time "5 minutes".

[0038] Next, as shown in the second column of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, when the work start time "19:35" is input to the input unit 11 and the work time "30 minutes" is input to the input unit 11, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 calculates the break candidate time to "5 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes" and further taking into account the past history. In other words, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 calculates the break candidate time to "5 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes" and the past history. This is because, as shown in the first column of FIG. 4, the break time was "5 minutes" for the previous work time "30 minutes", and therefore, as shown in the second column of FIG. 4, it is estimated that the break time "5 minutes" is appropriate for the work time "30 minutes" this time as well. Therefore, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 calculates the break candidate time to "5 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents the break candidate time "5 minutes" estimated by the break candidate time calculation unit 16.

[0039] However, when the worker finishes the work at 20:05, the worker takes a 10-minute break even though the presentation unit 17 presented a proposed break time of 5 minutes. In this case, it is estimated that the break time of 5 minutes was not appropriate for the work time of 30 minutes.

[0040] The break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time to be "10 minutes". The effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time to be "20 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time "30 minutes", the effort time "20 minutes", and the break time "10 minutes".

[0041] Next, as shown in the third column of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, when the work start time "20:15" is input to the input unit 11 and the work time "30 minutes" is input to the input unit 11, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 calculates the break candidate time to "10 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes" and further taking into account the past history. In other words, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 calculates the break candidate time to "10 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes" and the past history. This is because, as shown in the first column of FIG. 4, the break time was "5 minutes" for the previous work time "30 minutes", but as shown in the second column of FIG. 4, the break time has become "10 minutes" for the previous work time "30 minutes", so it is estimated that the break time "5 minutes" is not enough for the worker. Therefore, as shown in the third column of FIG. 4, it is estimated that the break time "10 minutes" is appropriate for the work time "30 minutes" this time as well. Therefore, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time to be “10 minutes.” The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break time “10 minutes” estimated by the candidate break time calculation unit 16.

[0042] When it becomes "20:45," the time when the worker will finish the work, the worker has input the end of the work into the input unit 11, and therefore ends the use of the work status management system 1 for that day. At this time, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time to be "17 minutes." The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time "30 minutes" and the effort time "17 minutes."

[0043] Next, as shown in the fourth column of "Date" of "20xx / 07 / 19" in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, when the work start time is input to the input unit 11 as "18:20" and the work time is input to the input unit 11 as "30 minutes", the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time as "10 minutes" based on the work time of "30 minutes" and the past history. This is because, as shown in the second column of FIG. 4, the previous work time was "30 minutes" and the break time was "10 minutes", so it is estimated that the break time of "10 minutes" is appropriate for the work time of "30 minutes" this time as well. Therefore, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time as "10 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break time of "10 minutes" estimated by the candidate break time calculation unit 16.

[0044] After that, since the worker took a 10-minute break from the time "18:50" when the worker finished the work, the break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time to be "10 minutes." In addition, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time to be "25 minutes." The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time "30 minutes," the effort time "25 minutes," and the break time "10 minutes."

[0045] Next, as shown in the fifth column of FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, when the work start time "19:00" is input to the input unit 11 and the work time "30 minutes" is input to the input unit 11, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time to "10 minutes" based on the work time "30 minutes" and the past history. This is because, as shown in the second and fourth columns of FIG. 4, the previous work time was "30 minutes" and the break time was "10 minutes", so it is estimated that the break time "10 minutes" is appropriate for the work time "30 minutes" this time as well. Therefore, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time to "10 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break time "10 minutes" estimated by the candidate break time calculation unit 16.

[0046] Thereafter, at "19:30", the time when the worker finishes the work, the worker takes a 10-minute break, so the break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time as "10 minutes". In addition, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time as "26 minutes". The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time "30 minutes", the effort time "26 minutes", and the break time "10 minutes".

[0047] In this way, by referring to the candidate break times, the worker can set an appropriate break time for the working time, which is expected to encourage the worker to continue working.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, the effort time in the second column is shorter by "5 minutes" than the first column in FIG. 4, and furthermore, the effort time in the third column is shorter by "3 minutes" than the second column. In this way, when the effort time is significantly shorter than the past state or the effort time is continuously shorter, for example, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 may recalculate the break candidate time "5 minutes" calculated in the second column to "10 minutes" or recalculate the break candidate time "10 minutes" calculated in the third column to "15 minutes". In this way, the break candidate time calculation unit 16 may recalculate the calculated break candidate time based on the past effort time and output the recalculated break candidate time to the presentation unit 17. Then, the presentation unit 17 may represent the recalculated break candidate time.

[0049] <Processing Operation> Next, the processing operations of the work status management system 1 and the like in this embodiment will be described.

[0050] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the work status management system 1 according to the embodiment. In Fig. 5, a case will be described in which a worker starts using the work status management system 1.

[0051] 5, a worker logs in to the work status management system 1 (S1). For example, the worker logs in to the work status management system 1 by inputting a worker ID or the like to the input unit 11. This allows the worker to start using the work status management system 1.

[0052] Next, the work time, which is the time during which the worker works, is input to the input unit 11 (S2: input step).

[0053] Next, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates a candidate break time, which is a time for recommending a break to the worker, based on the work time input to the input unit 11 in step S2 (S3: candidate break time calculation step). The candidate break time calculation unit 16 outputs the calculated candidate break time to the presentation unit 17.

[0054] Next, the presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break times by acquiring the candidate break times from the candidate break time calculation unit 16 (S4: presentation step).

[0055] Next, the work status management system 1 judges whether or not the work has been started. That is, the work status management system 1 judges whether or not the start of the work has been input to the input unit 11. The work status management system 1 repeats this process until the start of the work is input to the input unit 11 by the worker (No in S5).

[0056] On the other hand, when a command to start work is input to the input unit 11 (Yes in S5), the state acquisition unit 12 starts acquiring a worker image, which is information indicating the worker (S6).

[0057] Next, the work status management system 1 starts measuring the work time of the worker based on the worker image (S7). The work time may be measured, for example, by the state acquisition unit 12, the state extraction unit 13, or the effort time calculation unit 14. Alternatively, a timing unit (not shown) mounted in the work status management system 1 may start measuring the work time of the worker.

[0058] Next, the work status management system 1 ends the measurement of the work time of the worker (S8).

[0059] Next, the state acquisition unit 12 finishes acquiring the worker image, which is information indicating the worker (S9).

[0060] Next, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time during which the worker is working on the task within the task time based on the task state extracted by the state extraction unit 13 (S10).

[0061] Next, the effort time calculation unit 14 uploads the measurement results by outputting the calculated effort time to the work management unit 20 (S11). Note that the measurement results may be uploaded by outputting the effort times measured in steps S7 and S8 to the work management unit 20.

[0062] Next, in the work status management system 1, when the input is made to the input unit 11, the process of the flowchart in FIG. 5 ends (Yes in S12).

[0063] On the other hand, when continued use is input to the input unit 11 (No in S12), the rest period calculation unit 15 starts measuring the rest period during which the worker actually took a rest (S13).

[0064] Next, the worker inputs the work time, which is the time during which the worker works, into the input unit 11 (S14).

[0065] Next, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 calculates the candidate break time based on the work time input to the input unit 11 in step S14 (S15). When a worker uses the work status management system 1 for the first time, the candidate break time may be calculated using a means that is preset according to the work time. The candidate break time calculation unit 16 outputs the calculated candidate break time to the presentation unit 17. The presentation unit 17 presents the candidate break time by acquiring the candidate break time from the candidate break time calculation unit 16.

[0066] Next, the work status management system 1 judges whether or not the work has started. That is, the work status management system 1 judges whether or not the start of the work has been input to the input unit 11. The work status management system 1 repeats this process until the start of the work is input to the input unit 11 by the worker (No in S16).

[0067] On the other hand, when the start of work is input to the input unit 11 (Yes in S16), the break time calculation unit 15 ends the measurement of the break time during which the worker actually took a break (S17). When the measurement of the break time ends in step S17, the break time calculation unit 15 calculates the break time during which the worker actually took a break. Then, the work status management system 1 returns to step S6.

[0068] <Action and effect> Next, the effects of the work status management system 1 in this embodiment will be described.

[0069] For example, when performing work in a short period of time, it is possible to increase the working hours by putting a strain on the worker. However, because of the strain placed on the worker, it may be difficult for the worker to perform the work for a long period of time. This is because a person cannot continue working on the work all the time and needs to take appropriate breaks.

[0070] As described above, the work status management system 1 according to this embodiment includes an input unit 11 into which a work time, which is the time a worker works, and the start of the work are input, a candidate break time calculation unit 16 that calculates a candidate break time, which is the time for which a break is recommended for the worker, based on the work time, and a presentation unit 17 that presents the candidate break times.

[0071] According to this, by presenting the candidate rest times to the worker, the worker can grasp the rest time required for the working time. Therefore, the worker can take an appropriate rest for the working time using the candidate rest times as a guide. In other words, according to this embodiment, it is possible to optimize the working time and the rest time suited to each individual. Since it is expected that the worker will be able to continue working by alternating between work and rest, it is expected that the amount of time the worker works comfortably will increase.

[0072] Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is expected that the working time of the worker can be increased efficiently.

[0073] In addition, the work status management method according to this embodiment includes an input step for inputting a work time, which is the time a worker works, and a start time of the work, a candidate break time calculation step for calculating a candidate break time, which is the time for which a break is recommended for the worker, based on the work time, and a presentation step for presenting the candidate break times.

[0074] This method provides the same effects as those described above.

[0075] Moreover, the program according to the present embodiment is a program for causing a computer to realize the work status management method.

[0076] Such a program provides the same effects as those described above.

[0077] The work status management system 1 according to this embodiment further includes a status acquisition unit 12 that acquires information indicating a worker, a status extraction unit 13 that extracts the work status of the worker based on the information indicating the worker, an effort time calculation unit 14 that calculates the effort time during which the worker is working on the work based on the work status, a rest time calculation unit 15 that calculates the rest time during which the worker actually took a rest, and a work management unit 20 that manages the work time, the effort time, and the rest time. The presentation unit 17 presents at least one of the work time, the effort time, and the rest time.

[0078] According to this, by the presentation unit 17 presenting at least one of the work time, the effort time, and the rest time, the worker can understand the presented work time, the effort time, and the rest time of the worker.

[0079] In the work status management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the state extraction unit 13 extracts a state in which the worker is working on the work in a posture that allows the worker to continue working on the work within the working time. Then, the effort time calculation unit 14 calculates the effort time in which the worker is working on the work within the working time.

[0080] According to this, since the effort time out of the working time can be calculated, the effort time can also be outputted to the presentation unit 17. Therefore, the worker can grasp the effort efficiency in the working time by grasping his / her own effort time.

[0081] Furthermore, in the work status management system 1 according to this embodiment, the candidate break time calculation unit 16 further takes into account the past information of the worker managed by the work management unit 20, and calculates the candidate break time, which is the time for which the worker is recommended to take a break.

[0082] According to this, since it is possible to calculate a candidate break time suitable for each individual, the worker can grasp the break time required for the working time from the presented candidate break time. Therefore, the worker can take an appropriate break for the working time, and it is possible to optimize the working time and the break time suitable for each individual. As a result, it is expected that the working time of the worker can be increased more efficiently.

[0083] Furthermore, in the work status management system 1 according to this embodiment, the presentation unit 17 presents the next work time and the next candidate break time for a worker managed by the work management unit 20, based on the previous working time, the previous work time, or the ratio of the previous working time to the previous work time.

[0084] According to this, the next work time and the next break candidate time suitable for each individual can be further optimized based on the previous work time, the previous work time, or the ratio of the previous work time to the previous work time. Therefore, it is expected that the worker will be able to continue working while alternating between work and rest, and therefore it is expected that the worker will be able to increase the time spent working more comfortably.

[0085] In the work status management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the state acquisition unit 12 acquires a worker image, which is information indicating a worker whose image has been captured. Then, when the face of the worker is extracted from the worker image, the state extraction unit 13 extracts that the worker is working on the task in a posture that allows the worker to continue working on the task.

[0086] According to this, the state in which the worker is working can be easily extracted depending on whether the face of the worker can be extracted or not. Also, since the state in which the worker is working can be easily extracted without improving the performance of the state acquisition unit 12, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing cost of the work status management system 1.

[0087] Furthermore, in the work status management system 1 according to this embodiment, the presentation unit 17 presents the previous work time, the previous rest time during which the worker actually took a break, and the previous work time of a worker managed by the work management unit 20, based on the previous work time, the previous work time, or the ratio of the work time to the previous work time.

[0088] This allows the worker to grasp the previous work time, the previous rest time, and the previous working time. Therefore, the worker can review the next work time, the next rest time, and the next working time based on the previous work time, the previous rest time, and the previous working time.

[0089] (Other variations, etc.) Although the present disclosure has been described based on the embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modified examples of each embodiment.

[0090] For example, in the work status management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the input unit 11 may further input a break time for the worker to take a break. In this way, the worker can input the time he or she actually wants to take a break, and therefore can freely shorten the proposed break time and take a break, or can freely extend the proposed break time and take a break. This makes it possible to set a break time that suits the worker. This is expected to encourage the worker to continue working on the task.

[0091] In addition, the present disclosure also includes forms obtained by applying various modifications to the embodiments that would come to mind by a person skilled in the art, and forms realized by arbitrarily combining the components and functions of the embodiments and modifications of each embodiment within the scope that does not deviate from the spirit of the present disclosure.
