In the time recorder changing the printing column with reference to printing column change time, at the time of the attendance during the time zone from after midnight on the calendar to before the above printing column change time, the date of the previous day on the calender is printed on the date list of the time card. In the time card, the printing column is changed after the set printing column change time, and the date of the previous day is printed at the time of attendance during the time zone from the midnight on the calender to before the above printing column change time. Therefore, the service data with actual service sense can be obtained because the date is printed without the duplication of the date even at the time of the attendance on the same date.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a time recorder that prints information based on actual work conditions rather than calendar dates and times.

0002

[Prior art] A normal time card has a "date" field and a "date" field.
There are columns for "Start" and "Out", and it is decided in which column which day is printed according to the date. By the way, there are some occupations where coming to work and leaving work are irregular. For example, if you work from 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the next day, you will work from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the same day, and then from 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. the day after. Working hours that are treated as one day's work, such as working, start after midnight,
If a work schedule that ends at a predetermined time is adopted,
If the printing column of the time card is changed according to the calendar, that is, if the printing column is changed after midnight, the time of arrival and departure will be stamped on the same column. Therefore, in order to eliminate such inconveniences, settings are made so that the time at which the printing stage is changed can be selected. In the case of the above example, if the printing column change time is set to 4:00 a.m., for example, the inconvenience of stamping on the same column can be solved as shown in FIG.

By the way, even in this case, the date on the time recorder is stamped according to the calendar, so as seen in the time card in the same figure, it is as if you worked twice on the 18th and 20th. It will be printed.

[0004] However, as mentioned above, in the display on the conventional time recorder, for a work system in which work from midnight to 3:00 a.m. is treated as one day, it is displayed, for example, which days are days off and which days are worked. In the above example 1
It is unclear whether he worked on the 9th. Considering the actual work situation, it would be more realistic to say that he came to work late at night on the 17th and in the afternoon on the 18th, rather than working twice on the same day.

[0005]

[Object of the Invention] The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a time recorder that can be used more closely to the actual feeling of work by changing the printing stage to mark the end of the day. do.

[0006]

[Means for achieving the object] In order to achieve the above object, the time recorder according to the present invention uses a time card in which the date field is blank, and changes the printing stage based on the printing stage change time. In a time recorder configured as above, when going to work between midnight on the calendar and before the above print stage change time, the date one day before the calendar date is printed in the date column of the time card. It is characterized by

[0007]

[Operation of the Invention] With the above configuration, the printing stage is changed on the time card after the set printing stage change time, but if you go to work during the time period from midnight on the calendar to before the above printing stage change time. The date from the previous day will be printed. therefore,
Even if you go to work on the same day according to the calendar, the dates are printed without duplication, so you can obtain work data that corresponds to the actual feeling of work.

[0008]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a time card. In this time card 1, the "date" column and the "departure" and "departure" columns are displayed as blank. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the time recorder using the time card 1 is equipped with a time card insertion slot 2 and a display 3 which is a time display section, and stamps the date at the same time as the starting time, and also from 1 a.m. 3
In line with the work schedule of working from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and then working at the same time the day after the next day, 4:00 a.m. is set as the printing stage change time, and this time is used as the standard for marking the end of the day. It is assumed that the settings are made to change the characters. When going to work between midnight and 4 a.m. on the calendar, the date field of the time card 1 is configured to print the date one day before the calendar date.

[0010] As a result, it is 1:14 a.m. on the 18th according to the calendar.
If you went to work on the 17th, your time card 1 will have 1 in the 17th column.
It is stamped as the time of the 7th. Since the next shift is past the printing column change time, the time of the 18th (12:45) is stamped on the 18th column, one step lower. Similarly, the next working time is 1:05 a.m. on the 20th according to the calendar.
However, on time card 1, the time of the 19th is stamped in the 19th column.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a time recorder according to the present invention. The CPU 11 is connected to a ROM 13, a RAM 15, and a timer 17, which will be described later, via a bus 10.
, matrix key 19, card insertion detection section 23, card position detection section 27, card feeding mechanism drive section 31, print control section 35, display drive section 41, etc., and controls the entire time recorder. The ROM 13 stores a program for controlling the entire time recorder, an encoder counter number table for the encoder 25, and the like. The RAM 15 stores the current time, the current date on the calendar, the printing stage, the printing stage change time, the encoder count number, the time to print, the date to print, the printing stage to be printed, etc.

The timer 17 is used to update the current time and date. The matrix key 19 is used to change settings such as date and time.

The card insertion detection section 23 includes an insertion sensor 21
When the insertion of time card 11 is detected in
A detection signal is output to 11. The card position detection section 27 is
It is detected by the encoder sensor 25. The card position of the time card 1 is output to the CPU 11 as an encoder count value. The card feeding mechanism driving section 31 drives the card feeding mechanism 33 in response to a control signal from the CPU 11 to draw in and eject the time card 1 by an arbitrary amount.

The print control unit 35 drives the printer 37 in response to a control signal from the CPU 11, and prints a predetermined stamp color on the time card 1 at a predetermined stamp position according to the print-edited data from the CPU 11. Stamp the date, time, etc.

The display driving section 41 drives the display 3 according to a control signal from the CPU 11 to display a predetermined display.
For example, the current date, time, etc. are stamped.

Note that the CPU 11, ROM 13, RAM 15, timer 17, etc. are backed up by a backup power source (not shown), and the main power source A
Even if the C power supply is cut off, it will operate accurately for a predetermined period of time, for example from Friday night to Monday morning.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG.
The operation of this embodiment will be explained using an example of printing when 4:00 a.m. is set as the print stage change time.

First, the time card 1 is inserted into the card insertion slot 2 of the time recorder (step S1). When the time card 1 is inserted, the insertion sensor 21 is activated in step S3.
detects the insertion of the time card 1, and a detection signal is output to the CPU 11 via the card insertion detection section 23. In step S5, the current time (for example, work time) when time card 1 is inserted is between midnight or from midnight to a time before 4 a.m., which is the print stage change time. Determine whether it exists or not.

[0020] Here, if it is determined that the insertion time is between midnight or between midnight and 4 a.m., the process proceeds to step 7, and the printing stage is moved to the position one stage before the predetermined position. After setting the print date to the date on the calendar, proceed to step 9, set the print date to one day before the date on the calendar, and then proceed to step S.
In step 11, so-called print data editing is performed in which the date and time for printing on the RAM 15 are set in a format that can be output to the print control section 35. As a result, even if the worker starts work at 1:14 a.m. on the 18th according to the calendar, this starting time is printed in the 17th column on the time card 1 as starting work on the 17th.

[0021] Furthermore, when it is determined in step S5 that the time is after 4 a.m. and before midnight,
Skip step S7 and step S9 and step S1
Proceed to step 1 and edit the print data in the same way. That is,
Set so that the date and time on the calendar are printed on the printing stage at a predetermined position. This sets printing according to the calendar.

Next, in response to the input of the card detection signal from the card insertion detection section 23 in step S3, the CPU 11 outputs a control signal to the card feeding mechanism driving section 31 in step S13, and by driving the card feeding mechanism 33, the time is changed. Draw an arbitrary amount of card 1. At this time, the CPU 11 inputs the encoder count value indicating the card position from the card position detection section 27, and when this count value becomes a value corresponding to the printing stage to be printed in the table in the RAM 15, the CPU 11 sends the card. A control signal is output to the mechanism drive unit 31 to stop the operation of the card feeding mechanism 33, and control is performed to stop card feeding (step S15).
, S17).

Next, the process proceeds to step S19, where the edited print data is output to the print control unit 35, and the printer 37 prints the data on the time card 1 at a predetermined stamping position in a predetermined print color. It will be done. after that,
Proceeding to step S21, a control signal for ejecting the time card 1 is output to the card feeding mechanism driving section 31, and the time card 1 is ejected by the card feeding mechanism 33.

According to the above configuration, dates are printed on the time card 1 without duplication. Therefore, it is possible to obtain work data that corresponds to the actual work situation, and it is possible to clarify points such as when holidays were taken and whether the 19th was a day off or whether the person worked on the 19th, making it possible to accurately grasp the work status. .

[0025]

[Operation of the Invention] As explained above, according to the time recorder of the present invention, dates are printed without being duplicated, so that work data that corresponds to the actual work situation can be obtained, and work conditions can be accurately grasped. This has the advantage of being easy to perform.
