Attendance items are items necessary for attendance management, such as clocking in and clocking out. Specifically, attendance items include clocking in, clocking out, going out, and returning from going out. The dates and times are the dates and times when the attendance items were entered.

[0024] The operation allocation information 133 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The operation allocation information 133 includes a reference amount, a monitoring time, and a specific process for each user ID. The reference amount is the number of pixels moved by a swipe operation. The monitoring time is a preset time in seconds. The specific process is a process that is preset. For example, in a record in which the user ID is set to ID001, it is stored that when a swipe operation of the reference amount of 2000 pixels or more occurs within a monitoring time of 2 seconds, a specific process of canceling the immediately preceding input operation is performed.

[0025] The button arrangement information 134 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The button layout information 134 includes a button layout for each user ID. The button layout indicates the recognition area and display conditions for each button included in the attendance input screen. Here, the attendance input screen includes buttons for the current time, clocking in, clocking out, going out, and returning from going out.

[0026] The operation allocation information 231 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The operation allocation information 231 is information included in the operation allocation information 133 and corresponds to the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20.

[0027] The button arrangement information 232 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The button layout information 232 is information included in the button layout information 134 that corresponds to the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20.

[0028] The flow of processing in the attendance management system 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. (Step S101: Login process) The communication unit 211 of the user terminal 20 transmits a set of the user ID and authentication information of the user who uses the user terminal 20 to the attendance management device 10. Specifically, the attendance management application program installed in the user terminal 20 is started. Then, the communication unit 211 reads out the user ID and authentication information previously set in the user terminal 20, and transmits them to the attendance management device 10. Note that at least one of the user ID and the authentication information may be input by the user every time the attendance management application program is started.

[0029] (Step S102: Authentication Judgment Process) The communication unit 111 of the attendance management device 10 acquires the pair of the user ID and the authentication information transmitted in step S101. The communication unit 111 determines whether the pair of the user ID and the authentication information is registered in the user information 131. If the pair of the user ID and the authentication information is registered, the communication unit 111 determines that authentication is possible (login OK) and proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, if the pair of the user ID and the authentication information is not registered, the communication unit 111 determines that authentication is not possible (login NG) and ends the process. If authentication is not possible, the communication unit 111 may transmit an error message or the like to the user terminal 20.

[0030] (Step S103: Information transmission process) The communication unit 111 of the attendance management device 10 reads out information corresponding to the user ID acquired in step S102 from the operation allocation information 133 and the button arrangement information 134. Specifically, the communication unit 111 reads out the reference amount, monitoring time, and specific process corresponding to the user ID from the operation allocation information 133. The communication unit 111 also reads out the button arrangement corresponding to the user ID from the button arrangement information 134. The communication unit 111 transmits the read out information to the user terminal 20 that is the transmission source of the user ID acquired in step S102.

[0031] (Step S104: Information setting process) The communication unit 211 of the user terminal 20 acquires the information transmitted in step S103. The communication unit 211 sets the reference amount, the monitoring time, and the specific process as operation allocation information 231. The communication unit 211 also sets the button layout as button layout information 232.

[0032] (Step S105: Initial operation reception process) The display control unit 212 of the user terminal 20 displays the attendance input screen according to the button layout set in the button layout information 232. In the case of the button layout information 232 shown in Fig. 9, the display control unit 212 displays the attendance input screen shown in Fig. 11(A) as the initial screen. Here, the area for the current time on the initial screen is in the center of the screen, and occupies approximately half the area vertically and horizontally. In other words, the area for the current time is large enough that it can be touched without looking at it. Then, the operation accepting unit 213 of the user terminal 20 accepts an operation on the displayed initial screen.

[0033] (Step S106: Operation determination process) The item identification unit 214 of the user terminal 20 determines whether the operation received in step S105 is a normal operation corresponding to a normal process, or a specific operation corresponding to a specific process. A normal operation is an operation that transitions from the initial display indicated by the button layout information 232 to the next display. In the case of the button layout information 232 shown in FIG. 9, an operation of touching the time area, which is the area of ​​the current time, is an operation that transitions from the initial display to the next display. A specific operation is an operation indicated by the reference amount and monitoring time indicated by the operation allocation information 231. A specific operation is a swipe operation in which the amount of movement within the monitoring time is equal to or greater than the reference amount. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when a swipe operation is performed quickly over a long distance, regardless of the starting position and the direction of movement, a specific operation is performed. If the item identifying portion 214 determines that the operation is a normal operation, the process proceeds to step S107. On the other hand, if the item identifying portion 214 determines that the operation is a specific operation, the process proceeds to step S112. If a normal operation or a specific operation is not performed even after a reference time has elapsed, the item identification unit 214 may end the process as a timeout.

[0034] (Step S107: Attendance operation reception process) The display control unit 212 of the user terminal 20 transitions the attendance input screen to the next display in response to normal operation. In the case of the button arrangement information 232 shown in Fig. 9, the display control unit 212 transitions to the attendance input screen shown in Fig. 11(B). That is, the attendance input screen is displayed below the current time display field, the attendance display is displayed above, the leaving display is displayed on the left, and the return (returning from leaving) display is displayed on the right. Then, the operation acceptance unit 213 of the user terminal 20 accepts an operation on the displayed screen after the transition.

[0035] (Step S108: Item identification process) The item identifying unit 214 of the user terminal 20 identifies the attendance item corresponding to the operation accepted in step S107. Specifically, the item identification unit 214 identifies which attendance item has been input, clocking in, clocking out, clocking out, or returning from being out, depending on the direction of movement by the swipe operation from the state where the current time is touched. Here, when the direction of movement by the swipe operation is downward, the item identification unit 214 identifies the attendance item as clocking in. When the direction of movement by the swipe operation is upward, the item identification unit 214 identifies the attendance item as clocking out. When the direction of movement by the swipe operation is leftward, the item identification unit 214 identifies the attendance item as going out. When the direction of movement by the swipe operation is rightward, the item identification unit 214 identifies the attendance item as returning from being out. If the finger or the like is removed from the screen and a swipe operation is not performed, the item identification unit 214 may return the process to step S105. In this case, the display control unit 212 displays the initial screen, and the operation acceptance unit 213 accepts an operation on the initial screen.

[0036] (Step S109: Item transmission process) The communication unit 211 of the user terminal 20 transmits the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20, the attendance item identified in step S108, and the current time to the attendance management device 10. Here, the user ID is the same as the user ID transmitted in step S101.

[0037] (Step S110: Attendance management process) The attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 adds the user ID, attendance item, and time transmitted in step S109 to the actual work status information 132.

[0038] (Step S111: Reception display process) The display control unit 212 of the user terminal 20 displays a confirmation screen corresponding to the attendance item identified in step S108. For example, when attendance is identified as an attendance item, the display control unit 212 displays a message saying "Good morning" as shown in Fig. 13. By looking at this message, it is possible to confirm that the attendance item has been correctly entered. Also, the item specification unit 214 may activate the vibration function at a rhythm corresponding to the attendance item specified in step S108. That is, the user terminal 20 vibrates at a different rhythm depending on the attendance item specified in step S108. This makes it possible to confirm that the attendance item has been correctly entered without looking at the screen. As a method for providing a vibration function with a different rhythm according to the identified work item, a rhythm for each input button may be set in the button layout information 134 of the attendance management device 10. By doing so, the item specification unit 214 of the user terminal 20 can activate a vibration function according to the identified work item by referring to the button layout information 232. Then, the display control unit 212 returns the process to step S105. Then, the display control unit 212 displays the initial screen, and the operation acceptance unit 213 accepts an operation on the initial screen.

[0039] (Step S112: Specific process execution process) When a specific operation is performed, the item identification unit 214 of the user terminal 20 identifies that a specific process set in advance has been specified, regardless of the movement direction. Then, the item identification unit 214 executes the specific process set in the operation allocation information 231.

[0040] In the case of the operation allocation information 231 shown in FIG. 8, the item identification unit 214 identifies that a cancellation input has been made. Then, the item identification unit 214 instructs the communication unit 211 to send a cancellation request for the last recorded attendance item and time. Then, the communication unit 211 sends a cancellation request including the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20 to the attendance management device 10. The attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 performs a process to delete the most recently added record for the sent user ID from the actual working situation information 132. The most recently added record is the record with the most recent time in the actual working situation information 132. The process of deleting the most recently added record performed by the attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 indicates, for example, creating a new record in the actual working situation information 132 indicating a cancellation request for the corresponding record. The attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 manages the attendance status for each user ID by, for example, referring to the records of the actual working status information 132 for each user ID on a daily basis, and excluding the most recent record as an attendance item if there is a record of a cancellation application. Alternatively, the attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 may be configured to delete the most recently added record for the transmitted user ID from the actual working status information 132. The item identification unit 214 may identify that a cancellation input has been made only when a specific operation is performed within a reference time after identifying which attendance item has been input. In other words, the cancellation input may not be accepted after a reference time or more has elapsed since the attendance item was input.

[0041] The specific operation is set for each user ID, and is not limited to the cancel input. For example, as shown in the record of user ID User2 in FIG. 6, the specific operation may be button rotation. Button rotation means rotating and changing the button layout. For example, when button rotation is performed once, the button layout is rotated one step clockwise. In other words, in the case of the layout shown in FIG. 11(B), when button rotation is performed once, the display around the current time is rotated one step clockwise, changing to the layout shown in FIG. 14. When the item identification unit 214 identifies that a specific operation has been performed and the button has been rotated, it instructs the communication unit 211 to send a rotation request. The communication unit 211 sends a rotation request including the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20 to the attendance management device 10. The attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 rotates the button arrangement for the sent user ID in the button arrangement information 134 one step clockwise. In addition, the item identification unit 214 rotates the button arrangement in the button arrangement information 232 one step clockwise. At this time, the attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 regenerates the button layout information 134 so as to rotate the button layout one step clockwise, and then transmits the new button layout information 134 to the user terminal 20. The item identification unit 214 of the user terminal 20 may be configured to update the button layout information 232 and change the button layout based on the new button layout information 232.

[0042] Also, for example, the specific operation may be input of a specific attendance item, as shown in the record of the user ID User3 in Fig. 6. In the record of User3, if the time is before 13:00, it is treated as if the time has been entered to come to work, and if the time is after 13:00, it is treated as if the time has been entered to leave work. The item identification unit 214 identifies that a specific operation has been performed and that a specific attendance item has been input. For example, if the time is before 13:00, the item identification unit 214 identifies that an attendance input has been performed. Then, the item identification unit 214 instructs the communication unit 211 to send an item registration request. The communication unit 211 sends an item registration request including the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20, the identified attendance item, and the current time to the attendance management device 10. The attendance management unit 112 of the attendance management device 10 adds the sent user ID, attendance item, and time to the actual working situation information 132, similar to step S110.

[0043] ***Advantages of the First Embodiment*** As described above, the attendance management system 100 according to the first embodiment identifies which attendance item has been entered according to the direction of movement by the swipe operation. This makes it possible to input attendance items without fail without looking at the screen. Therefore, when arriving at the office, it is possible to quietly input attendance information while saying hello, etc.

[0044] In addition, the attendance management device 10 according to the first embodiment performs the specific process when the amount of movement of the swipe operation per monitoring time is equal to or greater than a reference amount, regardless of the direction of movement. This makes it possible to easily perform the specific process without looking at the screen.

[0045] ***Other configurations*** <Variation 1> In the first embodiment, each functional component is realized by software. However, as a first modification, each functional component may be realized by hardware. The following describes the first modification in terms of differences from the first embodiment.

[0046] When each functional component is realized by hardware, the attendance management device 10 includes an electronic circuit instead of the processor 11, the memory 12, and the storage 13. The electronic circuit is a dedicated circuit for realizing the functions of each functional component, the memory 12, and the storage 13.

[0047] Similarly, when each functional component is realized by hardware, the user terminal 20 includes an electronic circuit instead of the processor 21, the memory 22, and the storage 23. The electronic circuit is a dedicated circuit for realizing the functions of each functional component, the memory 22, and the storage 23.

[0048] The electronic circuits include single circuits, composite circuits, programmed processors, parallel programmed processors, logic ICs, GAs, ASICs, and FPGAs. GA stands for Gate Array. ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. FPGA stands for Field-Programmable Gate Array. Each functional component may be realized by one electronic circuit, or each functional component may be realized by distributing it among a plurality of electronic circuits.

[0049] <Variation 2> As a second modification, some of the functional components may be realized by hardware, and other functional components may be realized by software.

[0050] The processors 11 and 21, the memories 12 and 22, the storages 13 and 23, and the electronic circuits are collectively referred to as a processing circuit. In other words, the functions of the functional components are realized by the processing circuit.

[0051] Furthermore, the term "part" in the above description may be read as a "circuit," "step," "procedure," "processing," or "processing circuit."

[0052] Embodiment 2 The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the monitoring time and the reference amount used to determine whether a specific operation has been performed are set based on the user's swipe operation. In the second embodiment, this difference will be described, and the same points will not be described.

[0053] ***Configuration Description*** The configuration of the user terminal 20 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 in that the user terminal 20 includes, as a functional component, a setting unit 215. The function of the setting unit 215 is realized by software or hardware, like the other functional components.

[0054] ***Explanation of Operation*** The flow of processing in the attendance management system 100 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The processing from step S201 to step S205 is the same as the processing from step S101 to step S105 in Fig. 10. The user instructs the start of the setting state on the attendance input screen displayed in step S105. Then, the process transitions to step S206. If the start of the setting state is not instructed, the process transitions to step S106 as described in the first embodiment. The method of instructing the start of the setting state may be any method, such as pressing a button.

[0055] (Step S206: Setting state start processing) The display control unit 212 displays a setting screen. The setting screen is a screen without buttons, etc. The initial screen may be used as the setting screen as it is.

[0056] (Step S207: Operation reception process) The operation acceptance unit 213 accepts an operation on the setting screen. Here, the user performs a swipe operation that is intended as a specific operation.

[0057] (Step S208: Setting process) The setting unit 215 sets the monitoring time and the reference amount in the operation allocation information 231 based on the speed and the movement amount of the swipe operation accepted in step S207. For example, the setting unit 215 sets the monitoring time according to the speed of the swipe operation. As a specific example, if the speed of the swipe operation is faster than a threshold, the monitoring time is set to 1 second, and if the speed is slower than the threshold, the monitoring time is set to 2 seconds. Furthermore, the setting unit 215 sets a reference amount based on the amount of movement of the swipe operation during the set monitoring time. As a specific example, the setting unit 215 sets an amount of movement that is 90% of the amount of movement of the swipe operation during the monitoring time as the reference amount. The communication unit 211 of the user terminal 20 transmits to the attendance management device 10 the user ID of the user who uses the user terminal 20, and the set monitoring time and reference amount.

[0058] (Step S209: Setting record process) The communication unit 111 of the attendance management device 10 sets the monitoring time and the reference amount in the record of the user ID transmitted in step S208 in the operation assignment information 133.

[0059] ***Effects of the second embodiment*** As described above, the attendance management system 100 according to the second embodiment sets the monitoring time and the reference amount based on the user's swipe operation in the setting state. This makes it possible to set the monitoring time and the reference amount suitable for the user.
