The entrance / exit management device 1 operates as a server, and the worker terminal 2 and the manager terminal 3 operate as client terminals.

[0032] The entrance / exit management device 1 registers the entry and exit of workers based on information received from the workers. A general-purpose server computer or a personal computer can be used as the entrance / exit management device 1. It is also possible to configure the entrance / exit management system 0 by implementing the functional components described below on multiple computers.

[0033] The worker terminal 2 is a terminal for transmitting facial information, identification information, etc. of the worker. In this embodiment, a photographing means or the like provided in the worker terminal 2 captures images and videos of the worker's face. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the photographing means or the like provided in the worker terminal 2 reads a QR code (registered trademark) or the like installed at the construction site, and the worker terminal 2 transmits the read identification information.

[0035] The manager terminal 3 is a terminal for setting the position information and range information of the construction site. A terminal device such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer can be used as the manager terminal 3. There may be multiple manager terminals 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the network NW is an IP (Internet Protocol) network, but there is no limitation on the type of communication protocol, and there is also no limitation on the type and scale of the network.

[0037] <Hardware configuration> Fig. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram. As shown in Fig. 2(a), the information processing device 10 (entrance / exit control device 1) has a control unit 101, a storage unit 102, and a communication unit 103, which are used to perform the functions of each unit and each process.

[0038] The control unit 101 includes one or more processors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and controls the overall operation and processing of the information processing device 10 by executing the generation program according to the present invention, an OS (Operating System), browser software, middleware, and other applications.

[0039] The storage unit 102 is a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), etc., and stores the entrance / exit management program according to the present invention and data used when the control unit 101 executes processing based on the program. The control unit 101 executes processing based on the entrance / exit management program stored in the storage unit 102, thereby realizing the functional configuration described below.

[0040] The communication unit 103 controls communication with the network NW, and performs input necessary for operating the information processing device 10 and output related to the operation results.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2(b), the terminal device 9 (worker terminal 2 and manager terminal 3) has a control unit 91, a memory unit 92, a communication unit 93, an input unit 94, and an output unit 95, and is used to perform the functions of each unit and each process.

[0042] The control unit 91 of the terminal device 9 includes one or more processors such as a CPU, and controls the overall operation and processing of the terminal device 9. The storage unit 92 of the terminal device 9 is an HDD, SSD, ROM, RAM, or the like, and stores the above-mentioned applications and data used when the control unit 91 executes processing based on a program.

[0043] A communication unit 93 of the terminal device 9 controls communication with the network NW. An input unit 94 of the terminal device 9 is a mouse, keyboard, etc., and inputs operation requests from the user / provider to the control unit 91. An output unit 95 of the terminal device 9 is a display, etc., and displays the results of processing by the control unit 91, etc.

[0044] 3 is a schematic image diagram of the entrance / exit management system in this embodiment. First, a worker transmits identification information of the construction team for which he / she wishes to register entrance / exit and / or his / her own location information to the entrance / exit management device 1 via the worker terminal 2 (his / her own terminal, etc.) (FIG. 3(1)).

[0045] For example, the worker reads a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) installed at the construction site via the worker terminal 2 and transmits identification information for identifying the construction site. Alternatively, the worker may manually input information about the construction site via the worker terminal 2 and transmit the identification information. The worker also transmits location information obtained by a GPS (Global Positioning System) via the worker terminal 2.

[0046] The entrance / exit management device 1 identifies the construction site from the identification information received via the worker terminal 2, and determines the location information of the identified construction site and the location information received via the worker terminal 2 (Figure 3(2)).

[0047] The entrance / exit control device 1 transmits the determination result of the position information to the worker terminal 2 (FIG. 3(3)). The worker terminal 2 transmits the worker's facial information (e.g., a photograph of the face, a video of the face, etc.) according to the received determination result to the entrance / exit control device 1 (FIG. 3(4)).

[0048] The entrance / exit control device 1 judges the facial information of the worker stored in the storage unit and the facial information received via the worker terminal 2 (FIG. 3(5)). The entrance / exit control device 1 may also transmit the facial information to an external server and have the external server make the judgment.

[0049] Based on the result of the determination, the entrance / exit control device 1 registers the entrance / exit information of the worker (stores it in the storage unit), and transmits the determination result of the face information to the worker terminal 2 (FIG. 3(6)).

[0050] <Functional components> As shown in FIG. 4, the entrance / exit control device 1 includes a reception unit 11, a determination unit 12, a display processing unit 13, a registration unit 14, a setting unit 15, and a storage unit 16.

[0051] The arrangement of these functional components is one example, and it is also possible to configure the entrance / exit management system 0 by implementing these functional components on multiple computers. For example, part of the functional components of the entrance / exit management device 1 may be arranged in one or more devices configured to be able to communicate with the worker terminal 2, the manager terminal 3, and the entrance / exit management device 1. Similarly, part of the functional components of the worker terminal 2 or the manager terminal 3 may be arranged in one or more devices configured to be able to communicate with the entrance / exit management device 1, the worker terminal 2, or the manager terminal 3.

[0052] <Data structure> 5 to 7 show examples of data configurations stored in the storage unit 16 in this embodiment. The storage unit 16 stores worker registration information, company information, construction site information, construction organization information, work location information, position determination information, face determination information, entry information, exit information, etc.

[0053] The arrangement of each piece of data is also one example, and some or all of the data stored in the memory unit of the entrance / exit control device 1 may be stored in one or more devices configured to be able to communicate with the worker terminal 2, the manager terminal 3, and the entrance / exit control device 1. Similarly, some or all of the data stored in the memory unit of the worker terminal 2 or the manager terminal 3 may be stored in one or more devices configured to be able to communicate with the entrance / exit control device 1, the worker terminal 2, or the manager terminal 3.

[0054] Worker registration information is information about workers, and is information that is registered before determining whether a worker can enter or exit the site. Workers are people who enter and exit a construction site, and include site supervisors, foremen, and laborers. As shown in Figure 5(a), worker registration information includes information such as the worker's name, contact information, facial information (images of the worker's face, videos of the worker's face, etc.), information about the worker's job, information about the construction work the worker can handle, the date of registration, and information about the company (contractor) to which the worker belongs (company ID, described below), and is managed by worker ID.

[0055] The company information is information about a company, and includes the company name (e.g., A Company or D Construction), company contact information, company address, classification (whether the company is a prime contractor or a subcontractor), available duties, etc., as shown in Figure 5(b), and is managed by company ID. This company information may also include information about one-man bosses, for example.

[0056] The construction site information is information about the construction site, and includes construction site A, construction site B, site address, construction period, etc., as shown in Figure 5(c), and is managed by construction site ID. Furthermore, the construction site information includes location information, range information, etc., for determining whether a worker has entered (or left) the construction site.

[0057] Whether a worker has entered (or left) a construction site is determined by whether the worker's location information is included within a circular range represented by range information centered on a single point of location information represented by latitude and longitude.

[0058] In addition, the memory unit may store location information of three or more points represented by latitude and longitude, and determine whether the worker has entered the construction site by determining whether the worker's location information is included within the range of a polygon formed by those points.

[0059] The location information may include height in addition to latitude and longitude. Height may be information about the number of floors of a building or the distance from the ground. For example, if the height is the number of floors of a building, a beacon may be installed on each floor, and the storage unit may store the latitude, longitude, and information about the installed beacon (for example, information for identifying the beacon).

[0060] The determination unit 12 may determine the floor on which the worker is located by determining information transmitted by beacons installed on each floor (e.g., information for identifying the beacon) received via the worker terminal 2 and information about the beacon stored in the memory unit 16.

[0061] Alternatively, the work location of a worker may be determined based only on information related to the beacon. For example, the memory unit 16 may store only information related to the beacon as location information, and the determination unit 12 may determine the work location by determining information transmitted by a beacon installed at a work location or the like (e.g., information for identifying the beacon) received via the worker terminal 2 and the information related to the beacon stored in the memory unit 16.

[0062] The construction organization information is information about the construction organization, and as shown in Figure 6(d), includes the construction site ID in the construction site information, the company ID in the company information, the worker ID in the worker registration information, information about the subordinate relationships between companies such as primary and secondary, the company ID of the parent company, etc., and is managed by the construction organization ID.

[0063] Furthermore, the construction organization information includes the content of the work that the workers will perform at the construction site, the work period for performing the work, etc. By including such information, even if the content of the work performed by workers at the same construction site varies depending on the period, it is possible to manage the entry and exit of workers for each work content.

[0064] The construction organization information may include the details of the work that the workers will perform at the construction site, the work period during which the work will be performed, the work location ID described below, and the like.

[0065] The work location information is a work location included in a construction site, and includes the construction location ID including the work location, the area name of the work location, the building name of the work location, the location information of the work location, range information regarding the range for determining entry (or exit), etc., as shown in Fig. 6(e), and is managed by the work location ID. The memory unit stores the location information and range information for each work location, making it possible to manage entry and exit for each work location.

[0066] Location determination information is information received from a worker to determine whether the worker has entered (or left) a construction site, and includes the construction site ID of the target to be determined, the worker's location information, the time the information was received from the worker, etc., as shown in Figure 7(f), and is managed by a location reception ID.

[0067] When determining entry (or exit) of a work location rather than a construction site, the location determination information may include a work location ID instead of a construction site ID. Furthermore, the storage unit may store only the location determination information when the entry (or exit) determination is successful, or may store all information received for the entry (or exit) determination by linking the determination result to the information.

[0068] The face determination information is information received from the worker to identify the worker who sent the location information, and includes a location reception ID, face information, etc. related to the received location information, as shown in Figure 7(g), and is managed by the face reception ID.

[0069] When determining entry (or exit) to a work location rather than a construction site, the face determination information may include a work location ID instead of a construction site ID. Furthermore, the storage unit may store all worker IDs of workers associated with face information similar to the received face information in association with each other.

[0070] The entry information is information about authenticated entry, and includes, as shown in Figure 7(h), a face reception ID, the worker ID of the worker identified from the received face information, the entry registration time when the entry was registered, etc., and is managed by the entry authentication ID.

[0071] The exit information is information regarding authenticated exit, and includes, as shown in Figure 7(i), a face reception ID, the worker ID of the worker identified from the received face information, the exit registration time when the exit was registered, etc., and is managed by an exit authentication ID.

[0072] <Processing flowchart> FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the process for managing entrance and exit in this embodiment.

[0073] <Registering various information> In step S901, workers entering and leaving the construction site register their own worker registration information (FIG. 5(a)) in advance. In addition to the worker registration information, the entrance and exit management system in this embodiment also registers in advance company information (FIG. 5(b)) relating to the prime contractor or cooperating company to which the worker belongs, construction site information (FIG. 5(c)) relating to each construction site, and the like.

[0074] In step S902, the construction system at the construction site (FIG. 6(d)) is registered. In this embodiment, this construction system is used to determine whether workers enter or leave the construction site.

[0075] Fig. 9 is a schematic image diagram of the construction system in this embodiment. Fig. 9 is expressed as a schematic image for understanding the construction system in this embodiment. The memory unit 16 stores construction system information including information on the construction site, the subordinate relationships between the prime contractor and multiple cooperating companies, etc.

[0076] Figure 9 shows the subcontractors from 1st to 5th tier for prime contractor A, and their subordinate relationships, broken down by job type, such as scaffolding, civil engineering, and interior design. Figure 9 shows D Construction (1st tier) and E Construction (2nd tier) as subcontractors performing the job of "scaffolding," while F Group (1st tier), G Industry (2nd tier), and H Machinery (3rd tier) as subcontractors performing "civil engineering." Also shown are J Interior (1st tier), K Construction (2nd tier), L House (3rd tier), Yamada Taro (4th tier), Sato Ichiro (5th tier), and Nakamura Jiro (5th tier) as subcontractors performing "interior design work."

[0077] 9, the construction organization may be linked to company information including information on the prime contractor and cooperating companies, construction site information related to the construction site, and worker registration information. In addition to these, other information stored in the storage unit 16 may also be linked. For example, by doing so, it is possible to refer to various information linked to the construction organization information.

[0078] <Location information reception> In step S903, the reception unit 11 receives location information from the worker. Specifically, the reception unit 11 receives location information from a global positioning system (GPS) of the worker terminal 2 via the worker terminal 2. Alternatively, the worker terminal 2 may receive radio waves emitted by a beacon installed in the work location, and the reception unit 11 may receive the location information from the beacon via the worker terminal 2.

[0079] The determination unit 12 may determine only which floor of a building the worker is on based on the information related to the beacon, in which case the reception unit 11 receives the GPS location information and the information transmitted by the beacon. The determination unit 12 may also determine the worker's work location based on only the information related to the beacon, in which case the reception unit 11 receives the information transmitted by the beacon via the worker terminal 2.

[0080] Furthermore, the reception unit 11 receives identification information for identifying the construction site from the worker. Specifically, the reception unit 11 receives, via the worker terminal 2, identification information contained in a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) installed at the construction site and read by the worker terminal 2.

[0081] Also, the system may be designed so that the worker does not have to read the QR code (registered trademark) installed at a construction site where a judgment described below has been successful once every time using the worker terminal 2. For example, the storage unit 16 stores the construction site where a judgment has been successful once, linked to the worker. The display processing unit 13 processes and displays on the worker terminal 2 a list of the construction sites where a judgment has been successful once.

[0082] The worker specifies a construction site via the worker terminal 2, and the reception unit 11 receives the specification of the construction site instead of the identification information. Furthermore, the display processing unit 13 may display on the worker terminal 2 only the construction sites within the range of the worker terminal 2's location information.

[0083] The receiving unit 11 may also receive worker information (for example, face information, etc.) described below, along with receiving position information via the worker terminal 2. In this case, the worker terminal 2 transmits the worker information together with the position information.

[0084] <Location information determination> In step S904, the determination unit 12 determines whether the position information of the construction site stored in the storage unit 16 is the same as the position information received from the worker in step S903.

[0085] Specifically, the determination unit 12 determines the construction site information (specifies the construction site) based on the identification information (for example, a construction team ID, etc.) received by the reception unit 11. Furthermore, the determination unit 12 determines the location information of the specified construction site and the location information received by the reception unit 11.

[0086] The determination unit 12 determines whether the position information of the worker is included in the position information of the construction site stored in the memory unit 16. For example, the memory unit 16 may store multiple pieces of position information, and the determination unit 12 may determine whether the position information of the worker is included in the range of the construction site surrounded by the multiple pieces of position information.

[0087] In addition, the position information of the construction site stored in the memory unit 16 may include range information (e.g., a radius of 20 m) indicating the range of the construction site. The determination unit 12 may determine whether the position information of the worker is included in the range of the construction site (e.g., a circular range) surrounded by the range information with the position information stored in the memory unit 16 at the center.

[0088] 7(f), the receiving unit 11 stores the received location information together with the time of reception in the storage unit 16. The receiving unit 11 may also receive, via the worker terminal 2, information for identifying the person who transmitted the location information (for example, a login ID assigned when using an application that manages entrance and exit) together with the received location information.

[0089] The reception unit 11 may store information for identifying the person who transmitted the location information in the storage unit 16, and if the determination of face information, which will be described later, is successful, may store the information in association with the worker ID.

[0090] In addition, the determination unit 12 may determine the location information of work locations included in the construction site and the location information received from the worker in step S903 (for example, the location information of the worker terminal 2 using a beacon installed at the work site). As shown in Fig. 6(e), the storage unit 16 stores the hierarchical structure of work locations and their location information in association with the construction site ID, so that the determination unit 12 can determine entry and exit for each work location.

[0091] In addition, the reception unit 11 does not have to receive the identification information, and the determination unit 12 may determine (identify) the construction site by performing a brute force determination as to whether the location information received by the reception unit 11 is included in all the location information stored in the memory unit 16.

[0092] When the reception unit 11 receives the worker information described below along with the location information via the worker terminal 2, the judgment unit 12 judges the location information of the construction site and the location information received from the worker, and may also judge the construction organization information and worker information (e.g., facial information described below).

[0093] <Sending location information determination results> In step S905, the display processing unit 13 displays (transmits) the result of the determination of the position information to the worker terminal 2.

[0094] If the determination unit 12 determines in step S904 that the worker's location information is not included in the construction site location information, the display processing unit 13 performs a display process to indicate that the worker's location information is outside the range of the construction site in step S905N. Furthermore, in step S905N, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like to prompt the worker to send the location information again.

[0095] If the judgment unit 12 judges in step S904 that the worker's location information is included in the construction site location information, in step S905Y, the display processing unit 13 displays a message indicating that the worker's location information is within the range of the construction site.

[0096] Furthermore, in step S905Y, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like to confirm that the construction site has been successfully determined. Also, in step S905Y, the display processing unit 13 may display a screen that prompts the worker to select whether to enter or exit. Also, in step S905Y, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like that prompts the worker to send face information.

[0097] Furthermore, depending on the setting of the location information of the construction site (or work location), the ranges for determining two or more construction sites (or work locations) may overlap. When the determination unit 12 identifies two or more construction sites, the display processing unit 13 may display a screen and / or a message that prompts the worker to select a construction site.

[0098] <Acceptance of facial information> In step S906, the reception unit 11 receives worker information related to the worker from the worker. Specifically, the reception unit 11 receives face information related to the worker's face (for example, a facial image, a video, etc.) via the worker terminal 2. The reception unit 11 may receive the worker information after receiving the position information, or may receive the worker information together with the position information.

[0099] The worker information includes facial information photographed by the worker at the construction site via the worker terminal 2, and the reception unit 11 receives images and videos of the worker's face photographed at the construction site as worker information via the worker terminal 2.

[0100] The determination unit 12 may determine whether an image or video was taken at a construction site based on the time of day the image or video was taken, which is included in the image or video.

[0101] The receiving unit 11 stores the received face information in the storage unit 16 together with the time of reception, as shown in FIG. 7(g).

[0102] <Facial information determination> In step S907, the determination unit 12 determines the construction team information stored in the storage unit 16 and the worker information received by the reception unit 11. Specifically, the determination unit 12 identifies workers scheduled to work at the construction site based on the construction site and the construction team information identified in step S904.

[0103] Furthermore, the determination unit 12 determines the facial information included in the worker registration information of the worker scheduled to perform the work, which has been registered in advance, and the facial information received by the reception unit 11 in step S906.

[0104] The determination of the facial information may be performed by general facial recognition. For example, the determination unit 12 calculates the similarity based on the positions of characteristic features of the face, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, the size of the face area, and the like.

[0105] The judgment unit 12 calculates the similarity based on the facial information included in the worker registration information of the worker scheduled to perform the work who has been registered in advance and is linked to the construction organization information, and the facial information received by the reception unit 11 in step S906.

[0106] Based on the calculated similarity and a threshold value for determining the facial information of the worker stored in the memory unit 16, the judgment unit 12 judges the worker whose facial information stored in the memory unit 16 has a similarity equal to or greater than the threshold value as the worker or candidate who sent the facial information via the worker terminal 2.

[0107] An administrator or the like may be able to set a threshold value for determining face information via the administrator terminal 3. The reception unit 11 receives the setting of the threshold value via the administrator terminal 3, and the setting unit 15 stores the threshold value in the storage unit.

[0108] In winter, there is a high possibility that workers will be wearing winter clothing, etc., and the determination unit 12 will likely calculate a low similarity, so managers and others may set the threshold low.

[0109] Furthermore, since there is a high possibility that a worker will be wearing warm clothing or the like in the early morning, late evening, winter, etc., the determination unit 12 may automatically vary the threshold value to make a determination. Specifically, the memory unit 16 stores the periods of the early morning, late evening, and winter in advance, and the determination unit 12 determines whether it is the early morning, late evening, or winter based on the periods stored in the memory unit 16 and the time when the face information is received.

[0110] Furthermore, when the determination unit 12 determines that the time is early in the morning, late at night, or winter, it determines the worker whose face information stored in the storage unit 16 has a similarity equal to or greater than the automatically changed (lowered) threshold, based on the calculated similarity and the automatically changed (lowered) threshold. The storage unit 16 stores the automatically lowered threshold value and the lowered threshold in advance.

[0111] Additionally, the determination unit 12 may determine, among the facial information of workers stored in the memory unit 16, the worker whose facial information has the highest calculated similarity as the worker or candidate who transmitted the facial information via the worker terminal 2. When there is no facial information stored in the memory unit 16 whose similarity is equal to or greater than the threshold, the determination unit 12 may determine, as the worker or candidate who transmitted the facial information via the worker terminal 2, the worker whose facial information has the highest calculated similarity.

[0112] If there is no candidate whose calculated similarity is equal to or greater than the threshold, the determination unit 12 may lower the value of the threshold stored in the storage unit 16. Based on the calculated similarity and the lowered threshold, the determination unit 12 determines the worker whose face information stored in the storage unit 16 has a similarity equal to or greater than the threshold.

[0113] The judgment unit 12 may subtract a predetermined constant value from the threshold value, or may repeat subtracting the constant value from the threshold value until there is an operator whose facial information stored in the memory unit 16 has a calculated similarity greater than or equal to the threshold value.

[0114] The determination unit 12 may determine the worker information after determining the location information, or may determine the worker information together with determining the location information. When determining the worker information after determining the location information, it may be possible to avoid determining the worker information depending on the result of determining the location information.

[0115] <Sending the facial information judgment results> In step S908, the display processing unit 13 displays (transmits) the result of the determination of the face information to the worker terminal 2.

[0116] If the facial information received in the judgment by the judgment unit 12 in step S907 is not similar to any of the facial information stored in the memory unit 16, in step S908N, the judgment unit 12 performs a display process to indicate that the worker has not been registered in advance.

[0117] Furthermore, in step S908N, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like that prompts the worker to send the face information again. The worker may be wearing winter clothing such as a helmet or a scarf, and the determining unit 12 may calculate a low similarity to all face information stored in the memory unit 16 due to the influence of the clothing.

[0118] The judgment unit 12 determines that the worker is wearing something that hides part of the face, such as a helmet or winter clothing, and in step S908N, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like urging the worker to remove the item and send facial information.

[0119] If the facial information received in the judgment by the judgment unit 12 in step S907 is similar to the facial information stored in the memory unit 16, in step S908Y, the display processing unit 13 performs display processing to indicate that a registered worker has been identified.

[0120] Furthermore, in step S908Y, the display processing unit 13 may display a message or the like for confirming the worker whose judgment has been successful.

[0121] The display processing unit 13 may display multiple candidates similar to the worker based on the result of the determination of the construction system information and the worker information. The display processing unit 13 displays the candidates when there are multiple candidates whose similarities are equal to or greater than the threshold based on the result of the determination of the construction system information and the worker information and a threshold.

[0122] If the determination unit 12 determines that there are multiple candidates whose similarity is equal to or greater than the threshold, the display processing unit 13 displays these multiple candidates as candidates who have transmitted face information via the worker terminal 2.

[0123] In addition, if the judgment unit 12 determines that there is no candidate whose similarity is equal to or greater than the threshold, the display processing unit 13 may display the worker whose facial information is stored in the memory unit 16 with the highest similarity as the candidate who sent the facial information via the worker terminal 2.

[0124] The display processing unit 13 displays information stored in the memory unit 16, such as the candidate's name and job duties. The worker selects himself / herself from the displayed candidates via the worker terminal 2, and the reception unit 11 receives the candidate designation from the worker. This prevents incorrect worker entry / exit information from being registered.

[0125] Furthermore, the display processing unit 13 may display a plurality of construction systems related to the worker based on the determination result. When a plurality of construction systems are registered for the worker identified by the determination unit 12, the display processing unit 13 displays the plurality of construction systems related to the worker.

[0126] The display processing unit 13 displays the construction site related to the construction system, the name of the company to which the worker in the construction system belongs, the name of the first-tier cooperating company in the construction system, the name of the cooperating company one level above the company to which the worker belongs, and the worker's job type (for example, the work content in the construction system, etc.).

[0127] The reception unit 11 receives the designation of the construction organization, construction site, and job type from the worker by the worker selecting the displayed construction organization, construction site, job type, etc. via the worker terminal 2. In this way, the worker can register the entry and exit information of the construction organization, construction site, and job type that he or she desires.

[0128] In addition, the construction organization information may include work period information of workers scheduled to work at the construction site. The determination unit 12 may determine the work period information and the time when the location information or face information is received from the worker, and identify the construction organization, the work content in the construction organization, or the construction site.

[0129] Specifically, the determination unit 12 determines which work period the received time falls within, and identifies the construction system, the work content in the construction system, and the construction site.

[0130] <Registering entry and exit information> In step S909, the registration unit 14 registers the entry and exit information of the worker based on the result of the determination by the determination unit 12. Specifically, the registration unit 14 registers the entry or exit of the worker identified by the determination unit 12 in the storage unit 16, as shown in FIG. 7(h)(i). The registration unit 14 may also register the entry and exit of the worker based on a specification received via the worker terminal 2.

[0131] The registration unit 14 registers the time when the entry or exit of the worker is accepted. For example, by storing the entry and exit times in the memory unit, the working time of the worker can be calculated.

[0132] The registration unit 14 may calculate the amount of work at the construction site and / or work location (e.g., the amount of work per day, etc.) based on the times of entry and exit of workers stored in the memory unit. Specifically, the registration unit 14 calculates the amount of work at the construction site and / or work location based on the number of workers who worked at the construction site and / or work location and the working hours of those workers (e.g., the working hours calculated based on the times of entry and exit of workers, etc.).

[0133] <Range information settings> The reception unit 11 receives the setting of range information of the construction site (or work location) for each construction site (or work location). It is considered that an administrator such as a prime contractor sets the range information, and the reception unit 11 receives the setting via the administrator terminal 3.

[0134] The setting unit 15 sets the range information of the construction site (or the work place) based on the range information of the construction site (or the work place) that has been received. Specifically, the setting unit 15 stores the received range information in the storage unit 16. In this way, the manager can appropriately set the range for determining the location information of the construction site (or the work place).

[0135] As described above, the configuration of the present invention can provide a new technology for accurately managing the entry and exit of workers. [Explanation of symbols]
