Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention conducts an investigation on the working conditions, particularly regarding the mood, in the so-called telework situation.

Background Art

[0002] Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus in 2020, the working style of telework has been adopted by many companies. Telework is considered a relatively stress-free way of working because it allows employees to work using a terminal at home or at a preferred location of their choice. However, when telework became widely adopted by many companies, survey results were reported showing that the number of people experiencing stress had increased. Although the exact cause of this is still unclear, it has been considered important to implement telework while paying attention to the physical and mental states of teleworking employees.

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The mutual relationship between the embodiments and the claims is as follows. The present invention should not be limited to these embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist thereof.

[0016] <Regarding the hardware that can constitute the present invention> The present invention is an invention that in principle utilizes an electronic computer, and can be realized by software, by hardware, or by the cooperation of software and hardware. The hardware that realizes all or part of each constituent element of the present invention is composed of a CPU, a memory, a bus, input / output devices, various peripheral devices, a user interface, etc., which are the basic components of a computer. The various peripheral devices include storage devices, interfaces such as the Internet, Internet devices, displays, keyboards, mice, speakers, cameras, videos, TVs, various sensors for grasping the production status in a laboratory or factory (flow sensors, temperature sensors, weight sensors, liquid volume sensors, infrared sensors, shipping quantity counters, packing quantity counters, foreign object inspection devices, defective product counters, radiation inspection devices, surface condition inspection devices, circuit inspection devices, human sensors, operator work status grasping devices (by video, ID, PC workload, etc.)), CD devices, DVD devices, Blu-ray devices, USB memories, USB memory interfaces, removable hard disks, general hard disks, projector devices, SSDs, telephones, faxes, copiers, printing devices, movie editing devices, various sensor devices, etc.

[0017] In addition, the present system does not necessarily have to be configured by a single housing, and may be configured by communicatively coupling a plurality of housings. Further, the communication may be a LAN, WANWifi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), infrared communication, ultrasonic communication, etc., and furthermore, a part of it may be installed across national borders. Further, each of the plurality of housings may be operated by a different entity, or may be operated by a single entity. Whether the operating entity of the system of the present invention is singular or plural does not matter. Further, the invention can also be configured as a system including a terminal used by a third party in addition to the present system, and further a terminal used by another third party. Further, these terminals may be installed across national borders. Furthermore, in addition to the present system and the terminal, there may be provided a device used for registering related information of a third party and related persons, a device used for a database for recording the content of the registration, etc. These may be provided in the present system, or may be provided outside the present system and the present system may be configured to be able to utilize this information.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 2, a computer is composed of a chipset, a CPU, a non-volatile memory, a main memory, various buses, a BIOS, various interfaces, a real-time clock, etc., which are configured on a motherboard. These operate in cooperation with an operating system, device drivers, various programs, etc. Various programs and various data constituting the present invention are configured to execute various processes by efficiently using these hardware resources.

[0019] ≪Chipset≫ The "chipset" is a set of large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) mounted on the motherboard of a computer, which integrates the communication function, that is, the bridge function, between the external bus of the CPU and the standard bus connecting the memory and peripheral devices. There are cases of adopting a two-chipset configuration and a one-chipset configuration. The north bridge is provided on the side closer to the CPU and the main memory, and the south bridge is provided on the side of the interface with relatively low-speed external I / O on the farther side.

[0020] (North Bridge) The North Bridge includes a CPU interface, a memory controller, and a graphics interface. Most of the functions of the conventional North Bridge may be borne by the CPU. The North Bridge is connected to the memory slots of the main memory via a memory bus, and is connected to the graphics card slots of the graphics card via a high-speed graphics bus (AGP, PCI Express).

[0021] (South Bridge) The South Bridge is connected to the PCI interface (PCI slots) via a PCI bus and is responsible for I / O functions such as ATA (SATA) interface, USB interface, Ethernet interface, and sound functions. Incorporating circuits that support PS / 2 ports, floppy disk drives, serial ports, parallel ports, and ISA buses, which do not require or are impossible to achieve high-speed operation, will hinder the speed increase of the chipset itself. Therefore, it may be separated from the South Bridge chip and assigned to another LSI called a Super I / O chip. A bus is used to connect the CPU (MPU) to peripheral devices and various control units. The buses are connected by the chipset. The memory bus used for connection to the main memory may adopt a channel structure instead in order to achieve high speed. As the bus, a serial bus or a parallel bus can be adopted. The parallel bus transfers the original data itself or a plurality of bits cut out from the original data as a lump, and simultaneously transmits them through a plurality of communication paths, while the serial bus transfers data bit by bit. A dedicated line for the clock signal is provided in parallel with the data line to synchronize data demodulation on the receiving side. It is also used as a bus for connecting the CPU (chipset) to external devices, such as GPIB, IDE / (parallel) ATA, SCSI, and PCI. Since there are limitations in increasing speed, in the improved version of PCI, PCI Express, and the improved version of parallel ATA, serial ATA, the data line may also be a serial bus.

[0022] ≪CPU≫ The CPU reads, interprets, and executes in sequence the instruction sequence called a program stored in the main memory, and outputs information composed of signals to the main memory as well. The CPU functions as the center for performing calculations within the computer. Note that the CPU is composed of a CPU core part that serves as the center of the calculations and its peripheral parts, and includes registers, cache memory, an internal bus that connects the cache memory and the CPU core, a DMA controller, a timer, and an interface to the connection bus to the North Bridge, etc. within the CPU. Note that multiple CPU cores may be provided in one CPU (chip). Also, in addition to the CPU, processing may be performed by a Graphics Interface (GPU) or an FPU.

[0023] ≪Non-volatile Memory≫ (HDD) The basic structure of a hard disk drive is composed of a magnetic disk, a magnetic head, and an arm on which the magnetic head is mounted. The external interface can adopt SATA (ATA in the past). A high-performance controller, such as SCSI, is used to support communication between hard disk drives. For example, when copying a file to another hard disk drive, the controller can read sectors and transfer and write them to another hard disk drive. At this time, it does not access the memory of the host CPU. Therefore, the load on the CPU can be avoided.

[0024] ≪Main Memory≫ The CPU directly accesses and executes various programs on the main memory. The main memory is a volatile memory and DRAM is used. Programs on the main memory are expanded from the non-volatile memory to the main memory upon receiving a program startup instruction. Thereafter, the CPU executes the program according to various execution instructions and execution procedures within the program.

[0025] ≪Operating System (OS)≫ The operating system is used to manage the resources on the computer for applications to utilize, manage various device drivers, and manage the computer itself, which is hardware. In a small computer, firmware may be used as the operating system.

[0026] ≪BIOS≫ BIOS causes the CPU to execute the procedures for starting up the computer's hardware and operating the operating system. Most typically, it is the hardware that the CPU first reads when receiving the computer's startup command. Here, the address of the operating system stored in the disk (non-volatile memory) is described, and the BIOS expanded in the CPU sequentially expands the operating system into the main memory to enter the operating state. Note that BIOS also has a check function for checking the presence or absence of various devices connected to the bus. The results of the check are stored in the main memory and can be made available by the operating system as appropriate. Note that BIOS may be configured to check external devices, etc.

[0027] The above is a configuration commonly used in the description of the hardware configuration in all embodiments in this specification.

[0028] <Satisfaction of the Applicability of the Natural Law of the Present Invention> The present invention functions through the cooperation of a computer, communication facilities, and software. Conventionally, not only has it made it possible to simply process the operations that project participants used to perform in interviews using ICT, but it has also enabled ICT to determine the effects of many complex information exchanges, procedures, authentication, and settlement related to the project, and to support the accumulation, retention, and exchange of effective information that meets all necessary requirements that were originally impossible to create without proficiency through ICT. Therefore, it is established as a so-called business model patent that includes ICT-specific processing. Also, various identification information, risk information, issue information, and task information are held and processed in each department. From this perspective, if the invention of the present application is judged based on the matters described in the claims and the specification and the common technical knowledge related to those matters with respect to resources such as a computer, the invention of the present application utilizes natural laws.

[0029] <Significance of Utilization of Natural Laws Required by the Patent Law> The utilization of natural laws required by the Patent Law is required to ensure that, from the perspective that an invention must have industrial applicability and contribute to the development of the industry based on the purpose of the law, it is an invention that can be usefully utilized in industry. That is, it requires that it be useful in industry, that is, the effects of the invention declared at the time of filing can be reproduced with a certain degree of certainty by implementing the invention. From this perspective, the utilization of natural laws means that as long as the functions exerted by each of the invention-specific matters (invention constituent elements), which are the configuration of the invention for exerting the effects of the invention, utilize natural laws, it is interpreted as being acceptable. Furthermore, the effects of an invention only need to have the possibility of providing a predetermined usefulness to the user who utilizes the invention, and should not be viewed from the perspective of how the user feels or thinks about that usefulness. Therefore, even if the effects obtained by the user through this system are psychological effects, the effects themselves are events outside the scope of the required utilization of natural laws.

[0030] <Outline of Embodiment 1> During work, the inquiry server device of this embodiment can more accurately grasp the physical and mental states of employees during work by asking questions to employees during telework, other than at the start and end of work.

[0031] More specifically, in this embodiment, a work time inquiry server device is provided that has a function of receiving work information, which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs of work start, work end, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of a timekeeping unit, accumulating the received work information, holding question items for allowing selection of answers by options when receiving work information, outputting the held question items when receiving work information, obtaining selection result information, which is information associating option identification information for identifying options of answers to the output question items with employee identification information, and accumulating the obtained selection result information.

[0032] Hereinafter, the work time inquiry server device in this embodiment will be described in order with respect to its functional configuration, hardware configuration, and processing flow.

[0033] <Embodiment 1 Configuration> The work time inquiry server device of this embodiment is a work time inquiry server device that, as a configuration, includes a timekeeping unit, a work information reception unit, a work information storage unit, a question item holding unit, a question item output unit, a selection result acquisition unit, and a selection result storage unit.

[0034] <Brief Explanation of the Functional Block Diagram of Embodiment 1> FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the functions of the on-duty question server device according to Embodiment 1 having the above configuration. The on-duty question server device (0100) of the present embodiment includes a timekeeping unit (0101), a work information reception unit (0102) that receives work information, which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs among work start, work end, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a work information storage unit (0103) that stores the received work information, a question item holding unit (0104) that holds question items for allowing selection of answers by options during work information reception, a question item output unit (0105) that outputs the held question items during work information reception, a selection result acquisition unit (0106) that acquires a selection result, which is information associating option identification information for identifying options of answers to the output question items with employee identification information, and a selection result storage unit (0107) that stores the acquired selection result.

[0035] <Description of the Configuration of Embodiment 1> <Description of the Configuration of Embodiment 1 - Timekeeping Unit> The "timekeeping unit" has a function of acquiring time information indicating the time and outputting the time information to the work information reception unit described below. The time may be acquired externally or internally, but there is a problem if it deviates significantly from the standard time. Therefore, it is preferable to configure it so that information on a time as close as possible to the standard time can be acquired. For example, a timekeeping unit that basically generates time information internally but accesses accurate external time information at a predetermined interval to correct the deviation is preferable. The external time information acquisition source may be a standard time server, a server that outputs the time information of the company where the employee works, or the work time inquiry server device that is the server of the present embodiment. Note that the time information of employees working overseas should use the standard time in their place of work. It may be corrected by connecting to a standard time server operated by a third party in that place of work, or the standard time of the place of work corresponding to the work time inquiry server device of the present embodiment may be configured so that the employee can acquire it. This configuration consists of a work location selection unit and a standard time output unit that outputs the standard time of the selected work location in response to a request from a registered terminal used by the employee at a predetermined interval. Note that when the terminal used by the employee has a function of acquiring geographical information, for example, when it is a terminal equipped with a GPS function, the server of the present embodiment acquires the GPS information from the terminal, so that the standard time information of the position determined by the GPS information of the registered terminal can also be automatically selected and output.

[0036] <Description of the Configuration in Embodiment 1 Work Information Reception Unit> The "Work Information Reception Department" is configured to receive work information, which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs among work start, work end, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping department. Since telework is a relatively free work environment, the work start and end times are mostly flexible. For example, a format is adopted in which core time is set and employees are allowed to work freely. Therefore, in order to realize an environment in which employees can freely select their work start and end times, the work start time and the work end time are received. These two pieces of information are important information in labor management and are used to prove that an employee has spent a predetermined working time on work. However, the difference from normal attendance work is that when actually attending work, once an employee arrives at the company, the employee is generally physically restricted to the workplace, but at home or other selected workplaces, the employee cannot be physically restricted. Therefore, it is characterized in that the employee is made to input a signal or information indicating one or more work states during work. Also, as will be described later, by asking the employee questions and having the employee answer them, it is also proved that the employee is not a robot.

[0037] <Embodiment 1 Explanation of Configuration Work Information Reception Department Work Information> "Work information" is information associating the aforementioned work input, employee identification information, and time.

[0038] "Work input" is one or more inputs among work start, work end, and during work. These may be configured such that an input screen appears by clicking an icon on the screen of the employee's registered terminal, or the registered terminal may be configured such that an input screen appears on the terminal automatically at a predetermined time. In particular, the work start input screen may be configured to appear, for example, at the timing of starting up the terminal based on the time information of the timing unit. For example, when the terminal is started up between 6:00 am and 1:00 pm, the work start input screen can be configured to be displayed. Also, regarding work end, it can be configured to be automatically input based on the shutdown operation of the terminal. Of course, it can also be configured such that an input screen appears automatically by operating the icon. Also, even if work end has been input once, there may be a situation where it is necessary to resume work again due to the need for emergency response, etc. As work input in such a case, an input such as resuming work after work end may be prepared. In addition, there may be other input options such as participating in a video conference, going out, on a business trip, coming to the office (real, not virtual). These can be configured to accept input by having the user select which input to make from a work input selection menu. Note that in the case of participating in a meeting, going out, on a business trip, or coming to the office, since it is not possible to make an input during work from the terminal side, it is preferably configured to avoid the process of randomly outputting a screen that asks whether the user is currently at work.

[0039] The input screen during work can also be configured such that the input screen appears by operating an icon, but it can also be configured to randomly display the screen during the period from the start of work to the end of work using a random number or the like. With this configuration, it is possible to collect information on whether the employee is actually working or is actually away from the terminal doing something else. Once the employee has declared that they are at work, they must make the randomly appearing in-work input, which serves as an incentive not to leave the terminal.

[0040] In addition, the work-time question server device can be configured to include a work information reception unit interface appearance timing control unit that controls the display timing of the interface of the work information reception unit that appears randomly. For example, it can be configured so that the number of appearances during work, the approximate interval time, the appearance frequency according to the content of the work, etc. can be set by the administrator side. Also, it can be configured so that it can be set by the employee side as well. It may be configured to display the interface of the work information reception unit interface appearance timing control unit on the terminal used by the employee to make it prominent.

[0041] Furthermore, it is still more preferable that after displaying and bringing up an interface for prompting input during work on the display of the employee's terminal, the timing can be measured until the employee makes an input indicating that they are at work. This timing is grasped as the delay time after the startup of the interface and can be used as information such as how concentrated the employee is on the work. The input during work including this delay time can be acquired and configured to be included in the work information.

[0042] <Embodiment 1 Description of Configuration Work Information Storage Unit> The "work information storage unit" has a function of storing the received work information. The storage is preferably stored in association with the employee identification information, which is the identification information of the employee, the position identification information that identifies the position in the organization of the employee, the affiliated department identification information that identifies the affiliated department in the company where the employee works, etc. When this work-time question server device is a platform used by multiple companies, it is stored in association with the company identification information that identifies the company. Statistical processing can be performed through these associations. By statistically processing the employee's work start, response status to work input during work, work end, etc., information such as what kind of work the employee is doing within the company, or how the characteristics of the company appear when compared with the information of multiple companies can be obtained from the statistical processing. Also, by statistically processing the aforementioned delay time, information regarding the concentration level of the employee can be obtained statistically. <Embodiment 1 Explanation of Configuration Working Information Storage Unit Storage Interval> The interval at which communication for storing working information is performed from the terminal used by an employee to the working hour question server device is preferably dynamically performed when new working information is input. In other words, it is a waste of communication resources to communicate to the working hour question server device from the terminal the information that there is no new working information even though there is no input of new working information. However, when there is an input of new working information, it is preferable to immediately transmit that information to the working hour question server device so that the information stored in the working hour question server device is up-to-date.

[0043] <Embodiment 1 Explanation of Configuration Question Item Retention Unit> The "question item retention unit" has a function of retaining question items for which answers are to be selected from options when receiving working information. Examples of questions to be asked include questions about the employee's mood at that time, questions about the employee's physical condition, questions about the employee's lunch plan for today, questions about the employee's dinner plan for today, questions about the employee's planned outings for today, questions about the employee's meeting schedule for today, questions about the employee's planned overtime for today, questions about the employee's planned overtime for next week, questions about the employee's planned overtime for this week, questions about the employee's planned overtime for next month, questions about the employee's planned overtime for this month, questions about the employee's planned attendance on weekends for next week, questions about the employee's planned attendance on weekends for this week, questions about the employee's planned attendance on weekends for next month, questions about the employee's planned attendance on weekends for this month, questions about the employee's tasks for tomorrow, questions about the employee's tasks for today, questions about the employee's tasks for next week, questions about the employee's tasks for this week, questions about the employee's tasks for next month, questions about the employee's tasks for this month, questions about the employee's scheduled medical check-up, questions about the employee's scheduled detailed examination, questions about the employee's smoking plan for today, questions about the employee's drinking plan for today, questions about the employee's meal plan for today, questions about the employee's planned use of paid leave, questions about the presence or absence of harassment in the workplace for the employee, questions about the presence or absence of worries for the employee, questions about the presence or absence of requests for the workplace from the employee, questions about the employee's planned participation in events, questions about the employee's prediction of the mood of colleagues, questions about the employee's prediction of the physical condition of colleagues, questions about the lunch plan of colleagues for today, questions about the dinner plan of colleagues for today, questions about the planned outings of colleagues for today, questions about the meeting schedule of colleagues for today, questions about the planned overtime of colleagues for today, questions about the planned overtime of colleagues for next week, questions about the planned overtime of colleagues for this week, questions about the planned overtime of colleagues for next month, questions about the planned overtime of colleagues for this month, questions about the planned attendance on weekends of colleagues for next week, questions about the planned attendance on weekends of colleagues for this week, questions about the planned attendance on weekends of colleagues for next month, questions about the planned attendance on weekends of colleagues for this month, questions about the tasks of colleagues for tomorrow, questions about the tasks of colleagues for today, questions about the tasks of colleagues for next week, questions about the tasks of colleagues for this week, questions about the tasks of colleagues for next month, questions about the tasks of colleagues for this month, questions about the scheduled medical check-up of colleagues,Questions asking about the scheduled physical examinations of the employees' colleagues, questions asking about the employees' colleagues' smoking plans for the day, questions asking about the employees' colleagues' drinking plans for the day, questions asking about the employees' colleagues' meal plans for the day, questions asking about the employees' colleagues' planned paid leave, questions asking about the presence or absence of harassment in the workplace of the employees' colleagues, questions asking about the presence or absence of concerns of the employees' colleagues, questions asking about the presence or absence of requests regarding the workplace of the employees' colleagues, questions asking about the employees' colleagues' planned event participation, etc. can be cited, but are not limited thereto.

[0044] Also, in the case of telework, since it is difficult to determine the current type of work the employee is doing, it may be configured to allow the employee to select the type of work. In order to appropriately and automatically output questions regarding the type of work, enterprise identification information and business attribute information indicating the business attributes of the enterprise are configured to be associated and held in the enterprise information holding unit, and the employee identification information, the employee's position identification information, and the department identification information are associated with the attribute information (employee attribute information, position attribute information, department attribute information), and the work identification information for identifying the type of work is associated with the attribute information so that options can be output.

[0045] For example, when the enterprise attribute is system development, work such as system planning, flow design, programming, debugging, sales, etc. is associated with the above attributes. Also, it is advisable to prepare options such as work report creation, schedule adjustment, and web conferencing as common options for former employees.

[0046] <Embodiment 1 Explanation of the Configuration Question Item Output Unit 1> The "question item output unit" has a function of outputting the held question items when receiving work information. The output of the question items is in a form that allows options to be selected to obtain an answer. This is because the processing of the selection results can be relatively simple computational processing. However, in addition to the questions that require answers in the form of options, questions that require answers in a free-form entry format may be added. Also, the number of questions may be one or more when receiving work information once, and it can also be configured to ask multiple questions. The multiple questions may be configured to be selected and output according to the answer to the previous question. This is to obtain deeper information from the previous answer. Also, the question does not necessarily have to consist only of text, and it may be a question configured using photos or pictures. For example, it may be something like a psychological test or a sensibility test. For example, by presenting a photo of the scenery by the sea on a southern island and asking the question "How do you feel about this scenery?", the options for answers may be, for example, "freshness", "brightness", "youthfulness", "transparency", "coolness", "heat", "energetic", "sense of movement", "quietness", "fresh", "sophisticated", "immaturity", "success", "victory", "calmness", "nobleness", "elegance", "glow", "dignity", "gravity", "lightness", "agility", "gentle", "grandeur", "profundity", "maternity", "paternity", "authority", "strictness", "warmth", "tenderness", "kindness", "severity", "sense of achievement", "satisfaction", "cleanliness", "maturity", "wandering", "staying", "storm", "rain", "cloudy", "clear sky", "evolution", "progress", "green", "eco", "recycling", "sharp", "mild", "big", "infinite", "eternal", "peace", "security", "abundant", "high speed", "carefully selected", "cute", "fashionable", "cool", "strong", "soft", etc., or it may be something that allows the user to select the impression obtained from the picture by arranging a plurality of these. Also, the plurality of questions output do not necessarily have to be output independently when receiving a single piece of work information, and can also be configured to be output in association with the questions issued when inputting the previous work information. For example, if the answer selected in the previous question is "I'm really tired today", and there is a break in between, then when receiving work information during the work timing after the break, a follow-up question such as "Did you recover from fatigue during the break?" can be configured to be output as a question. Also, the selection of questions can be configured such that not only is it selected according to the answer to a question of a single employee, but also a question output according to the answer to a question given to other employees within the same company is selected. As other employees, there are answers from employees belonging to the same department or employees belonging to other departments with a high degree of work relevance. For example, when employees in the previous process are behind schedule in their work, questions such as whether they are substantially behind schedule in the previous process but can recover from the delay in this process can be asked to employees in this process. <Embodiment 1 Explanation of Configuration Question Item Output Unit 2> The "Question Item Output Unit" can output the questions to be output on a per-employee basis for each individual employee. However, in cases where an employee is a member of a group, etc., common question items can be output to all members of the group configuration, and the answers to these common question items can be used as an information source for grasping the work status of the group and the psychological state of the entire group. For example, by asking all members of the group configuration the question "How is the progress?", it is possible to grasp how the members of the group as a whole feel about the progress of the tasks assigned to their group.

[0047] <Explanation of Configuration Selection Result Acquisition Unit> The "selection result acquisition unit" has a function of acquiring a selection result which is information associating selection option identification information for identifying options of answers to the output questions with employee identification information. It is preferable that the selection result is also configured to be acquired in association with various types of identification information in the same manner as the work information. This is because meaningful information can be acquired by later performing statistical processing according to the attributes of the associated identification information.

[0048] <Embodiment 1 Description of Configuration Selection Result Accumulation Unit> The "selection result accumulation unit" has a function of accumulating the acquired selection results. The selection results are associated with various types of identification information as described above, and are statistically processed by using information on various attributes associated with the various types of identification information, and can also be used for various analyses such as the progress of a business or project, the presence or absence of problems, the status of problem solving, the progress of various tasks constituting the project, and the occurrence of new tasks. Also important is to acquire and organize information such as the mental state of employees working remotely, the degree of accumulation of employee fatigue, and the relationship between employees.

[0049] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the interface of the work information reception section. In the example diagram, "work start" is selected at "14:05" on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, for Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi. In addition to "work start", options such as "working", "break", "work end", and "other" are listed as selectable items. In this way, by having the user select from predetermined options, there is an advantage that statistical processing becomes easier, and it also leads to eliminating ambiguous times when it is unclear whether the user is working or on break. Also, when teleworking tasks are carried out by each member in a group for their respective assigned parts, it is preferable to configure the system such that the work status of each member is notified to other members. Since it is not efficient to send a chat invitation to members who are not currently working, knowing which members are working promotes efficient communication such as chatting. Also, regarding phone calls, it is preferable to configure the system to place calls to members who are shown as being at work. It is preferable to provide a member status screen where the face photos of the members and their work statuses are listed, and when a member's status is "working", the user can directly use the work terminal to communicate by clicking on icons such as a chat request or a call request under the face photo. In addition, it is also effective to arrange indicators for measuring the degree of busyness and the psychological comfort level of each worker in association with the face photos.

[0050] Figure 10 is a diagram showing a list of questions. Although it is an example, the questions include those asking about the mood of the worker at that time, the physical condition of the worker, the lunch plan of the worker for today, the dinner plan of the worker for today, the going-out plan of the worker for today, the meeting plan of the worker for today, the overtime plan of the worker for today, the plan of the worker for coming to work on a weekend this week, the quota of the worker for today, the scheduled medical examination of the worker, the scheduled detailed examination of the worker, the smoking plan of the worker for today, the drinking plan of the worker for today, the meal plan of the worker for today, the planned acquisition of paid leave of the worker, the presence or absence of harassment in the workplace of the worker, the presence or absence of worries of the worker, the presence or absence of requests for the workplace of the worker, the event participation plan of the worker, the prediction of the mood of the colleague of the worker, the prediction of the physical condition of the colleague of the worker, the lunch plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the dinner plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the going-out plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the meeting plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the overtime plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the plan of the colleague of the worker for coming to work on a weekend this week, the quota of the colleague of the worker for today, the scheduled medical examination of the colleague of the worker, the scheduled detailed examination of the colleague of the worker, the smoking plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the drinking plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the meal plan of the colleague of the worker for today, the planned acquisition of paid leave of the colleague of the worker, the presence or absence of harassment in the workplace of the colleague of the worker, the presence or absence of worries of the colleague of the worker, the presence or absence of requests for the workplace of the colleague of the worker, the event participation plan of the colleague of the worker, etc.

[0051] Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of an output example of a question item output unit. For example, questions such as "Please select the progress of telework" are output regarding the progress of telework, and on that screen, candidates such as "Delayed", "Proceeding smoothly", "Interrupted", "Completed" exist as options. It is typical for the user to make a selection from among them.

[0052] Figure 6 is an example of a drawing regarding the next question item when answering "Things are going smoothly". In one example, it is the content of Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi at "16:20" on "May 18, 2022". However, when asking a question "This is a question for those who are making smooth progress in telework", one can select numerically regarding "The current progress of Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi in today's overall tasks" or "The current progress of Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi's part in the entire project including tasks". By doing so, a more refined "degree of smoothness" can be known. Whether it is going smoothly or not depends to some extent on the subjective judgment of the person in charge. However, by allowing the person in charge to input the progress degree for each task, the degree of smoothness can be grasped as an objective numerical value.

[0053] Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram regarding the question timing among the output examples of the question item output section. As a premise, in telework, whether one can concentrate on work for each time period or the degree thereof varies. Moreover, it also depends on each individual. Some people can concentrate most at the beginning, some can concentrate when approaching the end, and some can increase their concentration suddenly after some stimulus such as a phone call with a client or a meeting within the company. Considering the relationship between such a person's personality and work efficiency improvement, in order to grasp the optimal work form, it is desirable to ask questions at multiple time periods, for example, 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 13 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 17 o'clock, etc., rather than asking questions at fixed timings. In the figure, for Ms. Mayuko Kawaguchi, whose normal working hours are from 9 o'clock to 18 o'clock, in that case, it is designed to ask questions at key time periods such as 10 o'clock at the start of work, 12 o'clock at the time of taking a break, 13 o'clock at the end of the break, and 18 o'clock at the end of work. Of course, this is just an example. In short, the question timing can be freely selected according to the intention. Also, the figure is not necessarily an output interface, but is used for convenience in explanation.

[0054] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the frequency of answers to questions among the output examples of the question item output section. In the figure, regarding the work status check system of Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi, there are candidate options such as "Please input at the start of work.", "Please input more than twice during work.", "Please input at the start of break.", "Please input at the end of work.", "Please input if there is anything else.", etc., and the user is supposed to select from these options. Basically, the entity making the selection is the side managing the labor, and based on the input results, the labor situation (such as progress) can be grasped, which leads to understanding the optimal working hours. Understanding the optimal working hours can be various, such as the type that can concentrate in the morning, the type that can concentrate when arriving at work, or the type that can concentrate at a certain interval (such as just before a break, just before the end of work, just before a meeting, etc.). In telework, improving and maintaining concentration is important, and the intention is to accurately grasp the individuality of each person.

[0055] Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of the input screen when "Others" is selected among the output examples of the question item output section. In the figure, Ms. Mayumi Kawaguchi is shown in the middle of inputting, in the free input field, as the specific content of the selected "Others", something like "The printer ink has run out. I will go to the nearby convenience store to buy it. The time of return is...". With such a function, it becomes possible to report the work situation for situations that are not typically assumed.

[0056] <Hardware Configuration> The figure is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration in this embodiment. The hardware configuration of the work-time question server device in this embodiment will be described with reference to the figure.

[0057] As shown in the figure, the present invention can basically be composed of a general-purpose computer program and various devices. The operation of the computer basically takes the form of loading a program recorded in a non-volatile memory into the main memory and executing processing with the main memory, the CPU, and various devices. Communication with the devices is performed via an interface connected to a bus line. Examples of the interface include a display interface, a keyboard, and a communication buffer.

[0058] As shown in this figure, there are a "timekeeping program", a "work information reception program" that receives work input, which is one or more inputs among start of work, end of work, and during work, as work information associated with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a "work information storage program" that stores the received work information, a "question item holding program" that holds question items for which answers are to be selected as options when receiving work information, a "question item output program" that outputs the held question items when receiving work information, a "selection result acquisition program" that acquires a selection result, which is information associating option identification information for identifying options for answers to the output question items with employee identification information, and a "selection result storage program" that stores the acquired selection result. Based on the execution instructions of a series of programs, these programs are read into the main memory and executed based on an operation start instruction. Note that this computer is configured such that a non-volatile memory, a main memory, a CPU, and an interface (for example, a display, a keyboard, communication, etc.) are connected to a bus line and can communicate with each other.

[0059] <Flow of processing> FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the flow of processing when using the work-time question server device in the present embodiment. The flow of processing in the present embodiment includes a work information reception step (S0301), a work information storage step (S0302), a question item holding step (S0303), a question item output step (S0304), a selection result acquisition step (S0305), and a selection result storage step (S0306). It is an operation method of a work-time question server device which is a computer having these steps. Hereinafter, each step will be described.

[0060] The "work information reception step" is a stage of receiving work information which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs among work start, work end, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit.

[0061] The "work information storage step" is a stage of storing the received work information.

[0062] The "question item holding step" is a stage of holding question items for which answers are to be selected by options when receiving work information.

[0063] The "question item output step" is a stage of outputting the held question items when receiving work information.

[0064] The "selection result acquisition step" is a stage of acquiring a selection result which is information associating option identification information for identifying answer options for the selected question items with employee identification information.

[0065] The "selection result storage step" is a stage of storing the acquired selection results. <Embodiment 2>

[0066] <Overview of Embodiment 2> In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present embodiment provides a work-time question server device having a feature of having a function of associating a selection result with work information that is the cause of outputting the question item for which the selection result was obtained. By the association, it is possible to know the psychological changes and fatigue status of employees. Also, it is possible to accumulate the characteristics and reactions unique to each employee as information, which contributes to the company's proposal of a working style such as telework that is more suitable for that employee.

[0067] <Embodiment 2 Functional Configuration> FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the present embodiment. The work-time question server device (1100) of the present embodiment is characterized by having a timekeeping unit (1101), a work information reception unit (1102), a work information storage unit (1103), a question item holding unit (1104), a question item output unit (1105), a selection result acquisition unit (1106), a selection result storage unit (1107), and further an association unit (1108). The explanation will be given excluding the functions already described.

[0068] <Embodiment 2 Association Unit> The "association unit" has a function of associating a selection result with work information that is the cause of outputting the question item for which the selection result was obtained. The selection result is an answer to the question already described, and the work information is, as already described, an association of the input of "work start", "during work", "work end" with "employee identification information" and "time". In particular, when the question item is a psychological one or a question item related to the fatigue status, the work input of "during work", the time at that time, and the answer to the question are associated, and by sequentially tracking and analyzing this, it is possible to obtain the change status of the employee from the start of work to the end of work. <Embodiment 2 Storage Unit (Not Claimed)> "Accumulation Unit" In this embodiment, it is desirable to configure the accumulation unit to accumulate the results associated by the association unit. By accumulating the selection results and the work information associated therewith, statistical processing can be performed on this, and information can be obtained to improve the working methods of employees. For example, it is possible to obtain through statistical analysis what kind of working methods are desirable in order to make the psychological pressure level of employees smaller and the rate of increase in that pressure level slower. This is to prepare and output questions for measuring the psychological pressure level, and include options for the questions that can obtain the psychological pressure level at multiple degrees. Since the psychological pressure level of employees can be obtained according to the selected options, it is possible to measure the change over time in the increase in the psychological pressure level. This can obtain sufficiently significant results by statistically processing the associated results of all employees in all companies (as far as information can be obtained).

[0069] Also, when performing statistical processing, it is also possible to obtain the results of what kind of tendencies there are according to the attribute information of each company. For example, in a sales-based company, a logistics company, and a system development company, there are tendencies in the results of statistical processing because the attributes of employees and the attributes of work are different. By using such statistical results by attribute, it is possible to obtain information regarding the working methods of instructors suitable for companies of each attribute.

[0070] Regarding physical fatigue as well, by performing statistical processing in the same way, it is possible to obtain information on how to minimize the integrated value of physical fatigue in a day and not reduce the workload.

[0071] In the case of occupations where the work is completed by desk work, a workload measurement unit, which is a unit for measuring the workload from the computer used by the employee, is provided, the workload is associated with the time, and the relationship between the degree of fatigue and the work efficiency is obtained by synchronizing the difference with the results associated by the association unit. Therefore, it becomes possible to devise a method for reducing physical fatigue without reducing work efficiency.

[0072] Therefore, the on-duty question server device can be configured to prepare a plurality of programs related to how to assign work, obtain the consent of the company, and then implement the way of assigning work according to the plurality of programs, and determine whether the way of working according to the program is efficient. In addition, it can also be configured to improve the program according to the feedback result. This may utilize artificial intelligence.

[0073] <Embodiment 2 Statistical Analysis Unit (not in claims)> As described above, the "Statistical Analysis Unit" can obtain the change over time of the psychological pressure of employees macroscopically or microscopically, or the change over time of physical fatigue, by statistically analyzing the accumulated work information and answers to questions. At the same time, by experimentally executing various programs for the way of working, it is possible to explore and find an efficient, bright and energetic way for employees to work.

[0074] <Hardware Configuration> FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the on-duty question server device in this embodiment. As shown in this figure, a computer consists of a chipset, a CPU, a non-volatile memory, a main memory, various buses, a BIOS, various interfaces, a real-time clock, etc., which are configured on the motherboard. These operate in cooperation with an operating system, device drivers, various programs, etc. Various programs and various data constituting the present invention are configured to execute various processes by efficiently using these hardware resources.

[0075] Here, the "main memory" reads out the programs for performing various processes to be executed by the "CPU", and at the same time provides a work area that is also the work area of the program. In addition, a plurality of addresses are respectively assigned to this "main memory" and "HDD", and the programs executed by the "CPU" can exchange data with each other by specifying and accessing the addresses, making it possible to perform processing.

[0076] As shown in this figure, there are a "timekeeping program", a "work information reception program" that receives work information which is information associating work inputs such as start of work, end of work, and one or more of during work with the employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a "work information storage program" that stores the received work information, a "question item storage program" that holds question items for allowing selection of answers as options, a "question item output program" that outputs the held question items when receiving work information, a "selection result acquisition program" that acquires a selection result which is information associating option identification information for identifying options of answers to the output question items with the employee identification information, and a "selection result storage program" that stores the acquired selection result. Based on the execution instructions of a series of programs, these programs are read into the main memory and executed based on the operation start instruction. Note that this computer is configured such that a non-volatile memory, a main memory, a CPU, and interfaces (for example, a display, a keyboard, communication, etc.) are connected to a bus line and can communicate with each other. Further, in addition to Embodiment 1, it includes an "association program" that associates the selection result with the work information that caused the question item for which the selection result was obtained to be output.

[0077] <Flow of processing> FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the flow of processing when using the work time question server device in this embodiment. The flow of processing in this embodiment is a method of operating a work time question server device which is a computer having a work information reception step (S1301), a work information storage step (S1302), a question item storage step (S1303), a question item output step (S1304), a selection result acquisition step (S1305), a selection result storage step (S1306), and an association step (S1307). Among these, each step except the association step is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0078] The "association step" is a stage of associating the selection result with the work information that caused the question item for which the selection result was obtained to be output. <Embodiment 3>

[0079] <Overview of Embodiment 3> This embodiment is a work-time question server device that is based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 and further has a function of statistically processing a plurality of work information in time series. Note that the statistical processing can be performed not only in time series but also at a time cross-section of a certain time.

[0080] <Functional Configuration of Embodiment 3> FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of this embodiment. The work-time question server device (1400) of this embodiment is characterized in that it has a timekeeping unit (1401), a work information reception unit (1402), a work information storage unit (1403), a question item holding unit (1404), a question item output unit (1405), a selection result acquisition unit (1406), a selection result storage unit (1407), and further a work information statistical processing unit (1408). Descriptions will be made except for the functions that have already been described.

[0081] <Explanation of Configuration in Embodiment 3 - Work Information Statistical Processing Unit> The "work information statistical processing unit" has a function of statistically processing a plurality of work information in time series. The work-time question server device is connected to terminals of a large number of employees and receives and collects a large number of work information at the work information reception unit. The collected work information is stored in the work information storage unit. The work information stored in the work information storage unit constitutes various populations. The minimum unit is the work information of each individual employee, but it also constitutes populations such as for each department, each business unit, each business location, and each company. Also, it is possible to constitute a population such as for each group of multiple companies that summarize the work information of multiple companies. This is because the work-time question server device can be configured to function as a platform used by multiple companies.

[0082] <Explanation of Configuration in Embodiment 3 - Work Information Statistical Processing Unit - Statistical Processing> The statistical processing of work information mainly obtains the average, distribution, variance, etc. of the work start time, and the average, distribution, variance, etc. of the work end time. By doing so, it becomes possible to obtain, for example, the average working hours per employee or the average break time.

[0083] <Embodiment 3 Description of Configuration Work Information Statistical Processing Unit Statistical Processing Specific Example 1> In statistical processing, in addition to general statistical processing using the average, variance, standard deviation, t-distribution, F-distribution, chi-square distribution, etc., Bayesian statistics can also be used. When using Bayesian statistics, future prediction becomes possible, so it is convenient for matters that should be avoided in advance. <Embodiment 3 Description of Configuration Work Information Statistical Processing Unit Statistical Processing Specific Example 2> Also, when the input screen during work is randomly displayed on the screen during the period after work starts and before work ends using random numbers, etc., it is also conceivable to statistically process the time elapsed from when this input screen during work is output to the screen until an input indicating that it is during work is received. The time lag until an input indicating that it is during work is received for the input screen during work serves as a measure of how much the work using the terminal can be concentrated. Therefore, by taking this time lag on the horizontal axis and the frequency on the vertical axis, for example, the degree of concentration of the work of employees during work can be grasped. Regarding this statistical processing as well, in addition to general statistical processing using the average, variance, standard deviation, t-distribution, F-distribution, chi-square distribution, etc., Bayesian statistics can also be used. When using Bayesian statistics, future prediction becomes possible, so it is convenient for matters that should be avoided in advance.

[0084] <Embodiment 3 Description of Configuration Work Information Statistical Processing Unit Statistical Processing Others> (1) For the time period of statistical processing, terms such as one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, twelve months, a quarter in the business year, and a half-year in the business year can be adopted, but it is not limited to these, and an appropriate term can be selected. (2) Analysis independent of time series It is also possible to perform an analysis independent of time series.

[0085] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of an interface for statistical information. For example, at "May 18, 2022" "16:11", for the macroeconomic information service inside the circle, there are options such as "Officer", "Planning Department", "General Affairs Department", "Personnel Department", "Stock Research Department", "Exchange Rate Research Department", "Credit Research Department", "Sales Headquarters", etc. Basically, from among them, the department to be subject to the total processing is selected. By having options in advance, labor can be saved.

[0086] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a screen when the "Stock Research Department" is selected among the statistical information. In FIG. 17, it is the screen when the "Stock Research Department" is selected. In that screen, as titles, "Position", "Name", "Status (Work Items)" are listed. "Taro Kiyama" whose position is "Department Head" is "at work", "Hiroshi Tanaka" whose position is "Japanese Stock Manager" is "at work", "Junko Mita" whose position is "US Stock Manager" is "at work", "Tai Sato" whose position is "EU Stock Manager" is "on break", "Kiichi Nakai" whose position is "Chinese Stock Manager" is "at work", and "Mayumi Kawaguchi" whose position is "Japanese Government Bond Stock Manager" is "at work (out)" accordingly. By listing in this way, the work status of each person in the Stock Research Department can be grasped.

[0087] FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of an interface regarding the work rate processed in the work status statistics processing section. Regarding the work rate obtained as a result of the statistical processing, it is shown as "96.3%". And not limited to the work rate, for example, "Arrival Time", "Break Start Time", etc. are also shown. In the case of this figure, the arrival time has a mountain shape with "9:30" at the center and "6:00" and "13:00" at both ends. The break start time has a mountain shape with "12:30" at the center and "9:00" and "15:00" at both ends.

[0088] FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a browsing menu for information processed by the work status statistics processing unit. On this screen, examples of the browsing menu include, but are not limited to, "attendance rate", "arrival time", "break start time", "mood distribution", "physical condition distribution", "telework progress distribution", etc. In this example, for "attendance rate", "arrival time", "break start time", etc., it is conceivable to obtain an average or a median by using existing statistical processing methods. On the other hand, for "mood distribution", "physical condition distribution", "telework progress distribution", etc., they are calculated in connection with various factors such as the difference from the previous day or the average workload or work ability of the person, the environment in which the person is placed, the characteristics of the person, that is, the work ability drops on days with bad weather but rises on days with good weather, and the work ability drops when dealing with customers by phone or the like but rises on days when the person can concentrate on work. Therefore, based on the accumulated data, it is desirable to review the deviation from the analysis results and change the rules for analysis, and it is more desirable if this can be done by AI.

[0090] Here, the "main memory" reads out a program for performing various processes to be executed by the "CPU" and at the same time provides a work area which is also the working area of the program. Also, a plurality of addresses are respectively assigned to this "main memory" and "HDD", and the programs executed by the "CPU" can exchange data with each other and perform processing by specifying and accessing those addresses.

[0091] As shown in this figure, there are held a "timekeeping program", a "work information reception program" that receives work information which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs among work start, work end, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a "work information storage program" that stores the received work information, a "question item holding program" that holds question items for allowing a response to be selected from options during work information reception, a "question item output program" that outputs the held question items during work information reception, a "selection result acquisition program" that acquires a selection result which is information associating option identification information for identifying options for a response to the output question items with employee identification information, and a "selection result storage program" that stores the acquired selection result. Based on the execution instructions of a series of programs, these programs are read into the main memory and are executed based on the operation start instruction. Note that this computer is configured such that a non-volatile memory, a main memory, a CPU, and interfaces (for example, a display, a keyboard, communication, etc.) are connected to a bus line and can communicate with each other. Further, in addition to Embodiment 1, it is provided with a "work information statistical processing program" for statistically processing a plurality of work information in time series.

[0092] <Flow of processing> FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the processing flow when using the work question server device in this embodiment. As the processing flow of this embodiment, it is a method of operating a work question server device, which is a computer having a work information reception step (S1601), a work information storage step (S1602), a question item holding step (S1603), a question item output step (S1604), a selection result acquisition step (S1605), a selection result storage step (S1606), and a work information statistical processing step (S1607). Among these, each step except the work information statistical processing step is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0093] The "work information statistical processing step" is a stage of statistically processing a plurality of work information in time series. <Embodiment 4>

[0094] <Overview of Embodiment 4> <Mainly related to Claim 4> This embodiment provides a work question server device having a feature of further having a function of statistically processing a plurality of selection results in time series based on any one of Embodiments 1 to 3 described above.

[0095] <Functional Configuration of Embodiment 4:> FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of this embodiment. The work question server device (2100) of this embodiment is characterized in that it has a timekeeping unit (2101), a work information reception unit (2102), a work information storage unit (2103), a question item holding unit (2104), a question item output unit (2105), a selection result acquisition unit (2106), a selection result storage unit (2107), and further a selection result statistical processing unit (2108). Explanation will be given excluding the functions already described.

[0096] <Explanation of the Configuration of Embodiment 4 Selection Result Statistical Processing Unit> The "selection result statistical processing unit" has the function of statistically processing multiple selection results in time series. The selection results are the answers of employees to the question items. For example, the measurement of work efficiency such as telecommuting, sales, and business trips, the measurement of employees' health information, the measurement of employees' mental states, the collection of labor environment information, the way of taking breaks, the length of working hours, the acquisition of paid leave, the clarification of the policies and goals of work and projects, the situation of solving and improving the problems of work and projects, the progress of the awareness reform towards new work styles, the situation of consultations and guidance with superiors and subordinates, and the understanding of the actual situation of work and projects. The statistical processing of the selection results is carried out to obtain such information.

[0097] The reason for using time series is that these situations change over time, and by knowing the trends such as whether the improvement is progressing or the situation is deteriorating, the employer or the guiding side can take countermeasures in advance. For example, when measuring the mental state of an employee through a questionnaire, if it is found that the mental state is deteriorating over time, measures can be taken to prevent further deterioration. In the case of a deterioration in the mental state, for example, by instructing the superior to reduce the workload, assigning a supporter, or postponing the deadline, it is possible to prevent further deterioration.

[0098] <Embodiment 4 Selection Result Statistical Processing Unit Other Configurations> There may also be cases where the statistical processing of the selection results is not performed in time series (not described in the claims). For example, it is also possible to collect information representing the mental state 4 hours after the start of work for all periods and statistically process the mental state 4 hours after the start of work in a time cross-section. For example, after 4 hours after the start of work, statistical processing results such as the tendency for the work efficiency of employees to decline can be obtained.

[0099] FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of the specific content of the selection result statistical processing unit. The figure is an example of an output interface regarding "Today's task progress of the claim investigation department" and "Project progress of the claim investigation department up to today". For the former, it gradually increased from 6 o'clock, exceeded 50% around 14 o'clock, and was completed around 16 o'clock as an example. For the latter, the project started in September 2021, went through a preparatory period, exceeded 50% around April 2022, and was completed in early May.

[0100] <Hardware Configuration> FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the in-service questionnaire server device in this embodiment. As shown in this figure, the computer consists of a chipset, CPU, non-volatile memory, main memory, various buses, BIOS, various interfaces, real-time clock, etc. configured on the motherboard. These operate in cooperation with an operating system, device drivers, various programs, etc. Various programs and various data constituting the present invention are configured to execute various processes by efficiently using these hardware resources.

[0101] Here, the "main memory" reads out a program for performing various processes to be executed by the "CPU" and at the same time provides a work area that is also the working area of the program. In addition, a plurality of addresses are respectively assigned to this "main memory" and "HDD", and the programs executed by the "CPU" can exchange data with each other and perform processing by specifying and accessing those addresses.

[0102] As shown in this figure, there are a "timekeeping program", a "work information reception program" that receives work information which is information associating a "work input" that is one or more inputs among start of work, end of work, and during work with the employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a "work information storage program" that stores the received work information, a "question item holding program" that holds question items for allowing selection of answers by options during reception of work information, a "question item output program" that outputs the held question items during reception of work information, a "selection result acquisition program" that acquires a selection result which is information associating selection option identification information for identifying selection options for answers to the output question items with the employee identification information, and a "selection result storage program" that stores the acquired selection result. Based on the execution instructions of a series of programs, these programs are read into the main memory, and based on the operation start instruction, these programs are executed. Note that this computer is configured such that a non-volatile memory, a main memory, a CPU, and an interface (for example, a display, a keyboard, communication, etc.) are connected to a bus line and can communicate with each other. Further, in addition to Embodiment 1, it is provided with a "selection result statistical processing program" that statistically processes a plurality of selection results in time series.

[0103] <Flow of processing> FIG. 23 is a diagram showing the flow of processing when using the work time question server device in the present embodiment. The flow of processing in the present embodiment includes a work information reception step (S2301), a work information storage step (S2302), a question item holding step (S2303), a question item output step (S2304), a selection result acquisition step (S2305), a selection result storage step (S2306), and a selection result statistical processing step (S2307), which is an operation method of a work time question server device that is a computer. Among these, each step except the selection result statistical processing step is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0104] The "selection result statistical processing step" is a stage of statistically processing a plurality of selection results in time series. <Embodiment 5>

[0105] <Summary of Embodiment 5> <Mainly related to Claim 5> This embodiment provides a work-time question server device having a feature of associating a selection result based on any one of Embodiments 1 to 4 with work information that caused the question items for obtaining the selection result.

[0106] <Functional Configuration of Embodiment 5> FIG. 25 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of this embodiment. The work-time question server device (2500) of this embodiment is characterized by including a timekeeping unit (2501), a work information reception unit (2502), a work information storage unit (2503), a question item holding unit (2504), a question item output unit (2505), a selection result acquisition unit (2506), a selection result storage unit (2507), an association unit (2508), and further a work selection result statistical processing unit (2509). Descriptions will be given excluding the functions already described.

[0107] <Work Selection Result Statistical Processing Unit of Embodiment 5> The "work selection result statistical processing unit" has a function of statistically processing the associated work information and selection results in time series. The work information is any one or more inputs of work start, during work, and work end as described above. However, when the work start is at 10:00 am and the break start (determined by no response during work) is at 1:00 pm, it may be designed such that information indicating 3 hours of work after the work start is also included in the work information. In addition, as work information, it can also be configured to receive inputs such as break start and break end in addition to work start, during work, and work end. In this case, if the break start is at 1:00 pm and the break end is at 2:00 pm, information indicating a 1-hour break can also be regarded as work information. In this way, it is mainly configured to measure the work status, work time length, and break time length, and statistically process the selection results in association with these. For example, when there is a work information input during work at the time point 3 hours after the work start, and the answer to the question output at that time indicates information that the person is psychologically fatigued, the information associated as "3 hours after work start: psychologically fatigued" is used for statistical processing. Perform the same kind of association for a large number of employees, and the correlation information regarding the length of working hours and the degree of mental fatigue can be obtained through statistical processing.

[0108] Figure 28 is a diagram showing the "smooth ratio" of the selection results during work of work information. Although the figure uses the National Debt Survey Department as an example, at "14:11" during work, the smooth ratio is at a position of about 75%. What can be read from this graph is that it was about 58% at 9 o'clock when work started, but it continued to rise until around 11 o'clock. The smooth ratio once drops from just before the break, but it can be read that it changes at a high level after the break. Of course, this is just an example and it doesn't necessarily have to be such a graph. In short, from this graph, it can be seen that employees feel "smooth" in the hours before the break and in the afternoon. From such a situation, it is conceivable to carry out appropriate operations such as holding a WEB meeting that is not a one-person operation during the morning when there is no feeling of smoothness. Also, the above-mentioned "75%" percentage is not simply the result of employees answering "YES" or "NO" to the question "Are you smooth?", but it is also conceivable to calculate it from how smooth it is or through calculations based on the processing status of specific tasks, etc. By doing so, a more accurate "smooth ratio" can be grasped.

[0109] <Hardware Configuration> Figure 26 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the work-time questionnaire server device in this embodiment. As shown in this figure, a computer consists of a chipset, a CPU, a non-volatile memory, a main memory, various buses, a BIOS, various interfaces, a real-time clock, etc., which are configured on the motherboard. These operate in cooperation with an operating system, device drivers, various programs, etc. Various programs and various data constituting the present invention are configured to execute various processes by efficiently using these hardware resources.

[0110] Here, the "main memory" reads out a program for performing various processes to be executed by the "CPU" and at the same time provides a work area that also serves as the working area for that program. Also, a plurality of addresses are respectively assigned to this "main memory" and the "HDD", and the programs executed by the "CPU" can exchange data with each other and perform processes by specifying and accessing those addresses.

[0111] As shown in this figure, there are a "timekeeping program", a "work information reception program" that receives work information which is information associating work input, which is one or more inputs among start of work, end of work, and during work, with employee identification information and the time of the timekeeping unit, a "work information storage program" that stores the received work information, a "question item holding program" that holds question items for allowing selection of answers as options when receiving work information, a "question item output program" that outputs the held question items when receiving work information, a "selection result acquisition program" that acquires a selection result which is information associating option identification information for identifying options of answers to the output question items with employee identification information, and a "selection result storage program" that stores the acquired selection result. Based on the execution instructions of a series of programs, these programs are read into the main memory and executed based on the operation start instruction. Note that this computer is configured such that a non-volatile memory, a main memory, a CPU, and interfaces (for example, a display, a keyboard, communication, etc.) are connected to a bus line and can communicate with each other. Further, in addition to Embodiment 1, it is provided with an "association program" that associates the selection result with the work information that caused the question items for which the selection result was obtained to be output. And further, it is provided with a "work selection result statistical processing program" that statistically processes the associated work information and selection result in time series.

[0112] <Flow of processing> FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the flow of processing when the work-time question server device according to the present embodiment is used. The flow of processing in the present embodiment includes a work information reception step (S2701), a work information storage step (S2702), a question item holding step (S2703), a question item output step (S2704), a selection result acquisition step (S2705), a selection result storage step (S2706), an association step (S2707), and a work selection result statistical processing step (S2708). It is a method of operating a work-time question server device, which is a computer having these steps. Among these, each step except the work selection result statistical processing step is the same as in Embodiment 2.

[0113] The "work selection result statistical processing step" is a stage of statistically processing the associated work information and selection results in time series. <Embodiment 6>

[0114] <Outline of Embodiment 6> <Mainly related to Claim 6> In addition to the embodiments described above, the present embodiment provides a work-time question server device that holds an employee psychological analysis rule, which is a rule for analyzing the statistical processing result from the psychological aspect of the employee, and has a feature of analyzing the psychological aspect of the employee from the held employee psychological analysis rule and the statistical processing result.

[0115] <Functional Configuration> FIG. 29 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the present embodiment. The work-time question server device (2900) of the present embodiment is characterized by having a timekeeping unit (2901), a work information reception unit (2902), a work information storage unit (2903), a question item holding unit (2904), a question item output unit (2905), a selection result acquisition unit (2906), a selection result storage unit (2907), a work information statistical processing unit (2908), and further an employee psychological analysis rule holding unit (2909) and a psychological analysis unit (2910). Explanation will be given excluding the functions already described.

[0116] The "Employee Psychological Analysis Rule Retention Unit" has the function of retaining the employee psychological analysis rules, which are the rules for analyzing the statistical processing results from the psychological aspects of employees. These psychological analysis rules are rules in which the selection results are associated with information indicating psychological situations, or information in which combinations of multiple selection results are associated with information indicating psychological situations. A plurality of these employee psychological analysis rules are provided so as to be optimized according to the job type to which the employee belongs and the role within the company, and they are associated with the attributes of the employee and the company attributes, and can also be designed such that the employee psychological analysis rules used for each employee and each company are different. Also, the employee psychological analysis rules can be configured to be enhanced by deep learning from the psychological analysis results and the psychological analysis results obtained by other methods. A plurality of psychological analysis rules can be prepared for the same employee, and the mutual rules can also be configured to be enhanced by deep learning from the results analyzed by the plurality of psychological analysis rules.

[0117] The "Psychological Analysis Unit" has the function of analyzing the psychological aspects of employees from the retained employee psychological analysis rules and the statistical processing results. The psychological aspects of the employees obtained as a result may be configured to be fed back to the employees, or may be configured to be used by the Personnel Department, General Affairs Department, etc. to grasp the state of the employees.

[0118] FIG. 32 is a diagram showing a specific example of analyzing the psychological aspects of employees based on the retained employee psychological analysis rules and the statistical processing results. Each graph shows the percentage of employees who selected the options shown in FIG. 5 when asked about the progress of telework as a question item, and shows the transition from 9:00 am when the current time is 11 minutes past 14:00. The percentage of those who answered that it is delayed is about 10% just before 14:00, the percentage of employees who answered that it is going smoothly is about 81% around 14:00, the percentage of those who answered that it is interrupted is 7% around 14:00, and the percentage of those who answered that it is completed is about 2% around 14:00. In this case, the average fatigue level of all respondents can be calculated as f1(A) + f2(B) + f3(C) + f4(D), where A% is the delay rate, B% is the smooth rate, C% is the interrupted rate, and D% is the completed rate. Here, the function f1 is a function that calculates the fatigue level of those who are delayed based on the percentage of those who answered that it is delayed, the function f2 is a function that calculates the fatigue level of those who are going smoothly based on the percentage of those who answered that it is going smoothly, the function f3 is a function that calculates the fatigue level of those who are interrupted based on the percentage of those who answered that it is interrupted, and the function f4 is a function that calculates the fatigue level of those who have already completed the tasks of the day based on the percentage of those who answered that it is completed. And the graph of (e) is the transition of the overall fatigue level and the prediction line of the fatigue level after 14:00. This prediction line is held by the work-time question server device with a fatigue prediction function that predicts the future fatigue level based on the movement of the past fatigue level, and is configured to calculate the prediction line by giving the transition of the fatigue level up to now to this function. Note that this fatigue prediction function can also be configured to be constantly improved by a deep learning configuration that is corrected based on actual fatigue data.
