In the embodiment, ID information of the nearest relay base station (available relay base station) is stored in advance in the information processing apparatus 3 together with work location information (property number). At the time of work attendance declaration via the PHS terminal 1, the information processing device 3 then uses the relay base station ID information obtained from the communication management device 4 via the network 2 and the registration registered for each work location. By comparing with the relay base station ID, it is determined whether or not the attendance report at that time is made at the correct work place. In this example, the communication management device 4 is a management device such as a wireless telephone company that manages and manages the wireless communication of the PHS terminal. Is described. That is, in Patent Document 10, it is described that the management target person is located in a plurality of work locations using the ID of the relay base station, but the base station ID is used. Thus, as in the present invention, “the user position specifying means does not specify the management target area corresponding to the entrance / exit area as the passing position of the user”. Also in Patent Document 10, since the management target person (worker) has to make a declaration of attendance / exit through the PHS terminal, the management target person is required to enter / exit (at the time of attendance / exit) as in Patent Document 9. It is absolutely necessary to operate the operation unit of the PHS terminal (see paragraph 0035) for the attendance / work declaration.

A management program of B5, characterized in that

According to the above-described present invention, while the user is carrying the portable device, a biological signal indicating the physiological operation of the user [for example, electrocardiogram, pulse wave, heart sound, blink (blink), brain wave, breathing sound] , At least one of the body temperatures] is detected, and the biological signal is transmitted to the management device via the relay device. At this time, the relay device identification code is given to the biological signal in the relay device. In the management apparatus, the relay apparatus is specified based on the relay apparatus identification code, and the management target area in which the relay apparatus is installed is specified as the mobile device, that is, the user's location or passing position. Further, in the management device, feature information is extracted from the biological signal, the feature information is compared with the registered feature information of the user to be managed, and if these feature information matches, the portable device is used. The user is authenticated as the management target user associated with the registered feature information. The authenticated user is managed by the management means based on the biological signal and the position specifying result.

  Therefore, without providing a plurality of types of sensors according to the number of types of management, as a sensor, not only can a biological signal detection means be provided in a portable device, but also a user's location specification and user authentication can be performed, Various management such as physical condition management / entrance / exit management / location management / appropriate work management / job type aptitude diagnosis management / work efficiency management based on biological signals and position determination results can be performed. That is, various types of management can be realized with a simple and inexpensive configuration without complicating the system configuration.

  At this time, when transmitting the biological signal from the portable device, the user identification code of the user carrying the portable device is given to the biological signal, and the management device associates the identification signal with the user identification code. By comparing the registered feature information with the feature information extracted from the biological signal, the feature information can be verified one-to-one, and the processing time required for verification / authentication is greatly reduced. be able to.

Further, according to the present invention, the management device (management means) can perform the following management as various types of management for the user.
[i] Entrance / exit management (attendance management)
The entry / exit management of the authenticated user is performed when the management target area corresponding to the entrance / exit area is specified as the passing position of the user by the user position specifying means of the management apparatus. In other words, it becomes possible to locate the user to be managed using a portable device and a relay device, thereby installing an entry / exit management gate or providing an entry / exit management card to employees, etc. It is not necessary to carry it, and entry / exit management of a user to be managed can be performed with a simple and inexpensive configuration.

[ii] Physical condition management Based on the biological signal received from the mobile device, the physical condition of the authenticated user is managed. At this time, the biometric data value obtained from the biometric signal of the authenticated user is compared with the average biometric data value corresponding to the management target user stored in advance, and the difference between these biometric data values is a predetermined value. If it is larger than that, it is possible to perform physical condition management such as determining that the user is in poor physical condition and notifying the user or the manager to that effect. As a result, the user can make a self-determination according to the notification, and the administrator can determine whether the user should continue his / her work according to the notification. It is possible to conduct business evaluations that take into account physical condition.

[iii] Appropriate work management Appropriate work management, such as determining the appropriate work according to the physical condition of the user to be managed based on the biological signal received from the mobile device, and notifying the user or administrator of the appropriate work. Can be done. As a result, the user can be caused to execute an optimum job according to the current state of the biological signal of the user by self-judgment or an administrator instruction. For example, in the case where an electroencephalogram is detected as a biological signal, when an electroencephalogram state suitable for a creative task such as planning / planning is detected, the creative task can be performed. Therefore, it is possible to always cause the user to perform a task according to the state of the user's biological signal, and the task efficiency can be greatly improved.

[iv] Occupation aptitude diagnosis management Further provided is a work efficiency estimation means for estimating the work efficiency of the work using the information processing apparatus by the managed user, and the estimation result by the work efficiency estimation means is used to identify the biological signal and the position of the user. By taking into account the results, we will diagnose and manage the suitability of the users to be managed. In this case, a biological signal for the user to be managed during work is stored, and the suitability of the user to be managed is diagnosed based on the estimation result by the work efficiency estimating means and the stored biological signal. In this way, it is possible to diagnose the job type aptitude of the management target user using the system having the simple and inexpensive configuration as described above.

[v] Work efficiency management The system further comprises a work efficiency estimation means for estimating work efficiency of work using the information processing apparatus by the user to be managed, and the estimation result by the work efficiency estimation means is used as a result of the biological signal and the user localization. In addition to the above, work efficiency management of managed users is performed. At this time, when the work efficiency of the user estimated by the work efficiency estimation means is lower than a predetermined value, the biometric data value obtained from the biometric signal of the authenticated user and the management target user stored in advance When the difference between these biometric data values is greater than a predetermined value by comparing the corresponding average biometric data values, it is possible to determine that the cause of the user's work efficiency being lower than the predetermined value is poor health This makes it possible to evaluate and manage each employee more accurately. In addition, by giving instructions such as notifying the user and resting in case of poor physical condition, each employee can be safely and efficiently managed. In this way, it is possible to manage the work efficiency of the user to be managed using the system having the simple and inexpensive configuration as described above.

  By the way, in a job category in which work is performed by inputting information by operating the keyboard with respect to the information processing apparatus, a product obtained by the work is, for example, an input result of a program, a business document, various data, or the like. The work efficiency (productivity) of the work for obtaining such a deliverable can be estimated by estimating from the information input situation by keyboard operation. If there are many typographical errors during the work, it can be estimated that the work efficiency (productivity) is low. For example, a typo in information input by keyboard operation can be detected by operating the backspace key or delete key after the user operates the character input key or character conversion key, and operating the backspace key or delete key. It can be detected as an operation to cancel the operation result or characters after character conversion.

  Therefore, the operation of the backspace key and / or the delete key is monitored as the information input status (operation status) by the keyboard operation, and the predetermined information input amount per predetermined time (unit time / working time) based on the monitoring result. Management means by calculating the operation frequency of the backspace key and / or the deletion key per (business processing unit / number of input characters / number of predetermined key operations) or for each file, and estimating the work efficiency based on the operation frequency Is to accurately grasp the work efficiency standard (estimated value) of employees (users) who perform work by operating the keyboard on the information processing device and inputting information, and evaluating each employee・ It becomes possible to perform management accurately.

  Similarly, the number of deleted characters is monitored as the information input status (operation status) by the keyboard operation, and based on the monitoring result, per predetermined time (unit time / working time) or a predetermined information input amount (business processing unit / By calculating the character deletion frequency per (predetermined number of input characters / number of predetermined key operations) or for each file and estimating the work efficiency based on the character deletion frequency, the management means operates the keyboard on the information processing device. By inputting information, it is possible to accurately grasp the standard (estimated value) of the work efficiency of employees (users) of the occupations performing the business, and to accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

Furthermore, even when the backspace key and / or delete key operation frequency and character deletion frequency are low, there are many spelling errors and typographical errors in the deliverables (for example, input results of programs, business documents, various data, etc.) Cannot be said to have high work efficiency (productivity). Therefore, the document, which is a product obtained as a result of the information input by the user's keyboard operation, is calibrated, and the proofreading result is also used as a result of monitoring the operation status of the information processing apparatus by the user to estimate work efficiency. In addition, the management means accurately grasps the work efficiency standard (estimated value) of the employee (user) who performs the job by operating the keyboard on the information processing device and inputting information. This makes it possible to accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  In this case, the calibration result is notified to the user (or the administrator), and the backspace key and / or the deletion key as described above during the correction operation performed by the user (or the administrator) while referring to the calibration result. By calculating the user's operation frequency and character deletion frequency and estimating the user's own work efficiency, it is possible to reliably grasp and correct typing errors and spelling errors, and to estimate work efficiency more accurately It becomes possible.

  Also, in occupations that perform operations by operating information processing devices, the number of emails sent and received by the information processing devices is regarded as a parameter related to the work efficiency of the work for obtaining the deliverables associated with the operations. Can do. For example, the number of emails sent and received is inevitably large for sales clerks and help desks, but the number of emails is basically small for technical clerks such as programmers. It should be. That is, in the case of the job contents of the latter (such as a technical office work such as a programmer), it is possible to estimate that the work efficiency (productivity) is lower as the number of transmitted / received mails is larger.

  Therefore, by monitoring the number of emails sent and received as the operation status, and estimating the work efficiency based on the job contents and the number of emails sent and received, the management means is an employee of the occupation that performs the work by operating the information processing device. It becomes possible to accurately grasp (estimate) the work efficiency of (user) and accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  Furthermore, in occupations that perform operations by operating information processing devices, the users must not perform operations unless they are present at the information processing device installation location (desk). So, for example, the higher the percentage of time that users are away from their desks during work hours (seating ratio), the opposite is that users are present at their desks. It is possible to estimate that work efficiency (productivity) is lower as the proportion of time spent (attended ratio) is lower.

  Therefore, as the operation status, the time when the user is away from the position where the information processing apparatus can be operated to the position where the user cannot operate is monitored, and a predetermined time (unit time / unit) is determined based on the absence time. By calculating the absence rate per (working time / working time) and estimating the work efficiency based on the absence rate, managers etc. are employees of occupations who perform work by operating information processing devices. It is possible to accurately grasp the estimate (estimated value) of the work efficiency of employees (users) and accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  At this time, a portable device used for detection of a biological signal without providing a sensor or interface dedicated to the absence time monitoring by measuring the away time based on the identification result by the user position identification means. While being used, a system with a simple and inexpensive configuration as described above makes it possible to accurately measure the absence time of a user to be managed, and to more accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

[1-1] Functional Configuration of User Terminal According to the Present Embodiment Each user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment is a personal computer (PC) used by a user who is an employee (employee) in the company as described above. As shown in FIG. 2, a processing unit [CPU (Central Processin Unit)] 10a that executes various processes and a storage unit 10b that can hold various data such as application programs for realizing the present invention are provided. The processing unit 10a executes the application program stored in the storage unit 10b, thereby realizing functions as a monitoring unit 11 and a communication unit 13 described later. . In addition to the functions as the monitoring unit 11 and the communication unit 13, each user terminal 10 has a function necessary for performing the above-described tasks.

  The storage unit 10b includes a ROM, a RAM, a hard disk built in the user terminal 10, and a storage device connected to and externally attached to the user terminal 10, such as a flexible disk, a CD (CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, etc.), DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD + R, DVD + RW, etc.), magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, IC card, ROM cartridge, magnetic tape, etc. A storage device using a recording medium.

  The storage unit 10b in the user terminal 10 of the present embodiment functions as the user terminal identification code storage unit 12 in addition to storing the application program as described above. The user terminal identification code storage means 12 stores in advance a user terminal identification code (ID code) that can identify the user terminal 10.

The monitoring unit 11 monitors the operation status of the user terminal 10 by each user. The operation status monitored by the monitoring means 11 includes, for example, an information input status by a user's keyboard operation [more specifically, the number of operations of the backspace key and / or the delete key, the number of deleted characters, Calibration results for documents obtained as information input results by keyboard operation, creation speed and creation time of deliverables (documents), the number of transmitted / received mails in each user terminal 10, and the user selects the user terminal 10 Time away from an operable position to an inoperable position, access time to an external site (number of times written to the Internet bulletin board, amount of data written, number of uploads to the external site, amount of data, etc. ) The monitoring unit 11 monitors and outputs at least one of these operation situations, and may monitor only one type of operation situation or may monitor two or more types of operation situations. Good.

  Here, when the operation of the backspace key or the delete key (at least one of these keys) is monitored as the operation status, the monitoring unit 11 includes at least a character input key, a character conversion key, Monitors the backspace key and delete key (delete key) operations, and counts the number of character input key operations (which may include the number of character conversion key operations or the number of character input key operations). Counts the number of times the backspace key or delete key has been operated (that is, the number of key operations to delete characters), and monitors the counted number of character input key operations and backspace key / delete key operations Is configured to output as The monitoring procedure will be described later with reference to FIG. The number of times the character input key is operated is determined by referring to the input character and referring to each input character (word) referred to and the input method selected by the user (such as romaji input, JIS input, and thumb shift input). Alternatively, the number of operations of the character input key and the character conversion key may be estimated by back calculation.

  When monitoring the number of deleted characters as the operation status, the monitoring unit 11 is deleted by operating the number of characters input by the user's keyboard operation and the backspace key or the delete key on the user terminal 10. The number of characters is counted, and the number of input characters and the number of deleted characters are output as monitoring results. The monitoring procedure will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When monitoring the proofreading result of the document obtained as the information input result by the keyboard operation as the operation status, the monitoring unit 11 uses a general automatic proofreading function (automatic spell check function) in the user terminal 10. The above calibration is performed, and the calibration result is output as a monitoring result. At this time, the automatic proofreading result is notified to the user or the administrator, and the backspace key and the deletion key are operated as described above when the user or the administrator makes corrections to the document while referring to the proofreading result. And the number of deleted characters is counted and output as a monitoring result.

  When monitoring the creation speed and creation time of the product (document) as the operation status, the monitoring unit 11 measures the time from the start of creation of the product (document) to the completion of creation as the creation time, and the creation time is measured. The monitoring result is output as it is, or the number of input characters per unit time (creation speed) obtained by dividing the number of characters of the created document by the creation time is output as the monitoring result.

  When monitoring the number of transmitted / received mails in each user terminal 10 as the operation status, the monitoring unit 11 monitors the operation of the mailer in the user terminal 10 to determine the number of transmitted / received mails, more specifically, the number of transmitted mails addressed to the outside. The number of received mails from outside the company is counted, and the counted number of mails is output as a monitoring result. The monitoring procedure will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Further, when the user's away time is monitored as the operation status, for example, an information processing apparatus having a PC security function using an IC card is used as the user terminal 10. When such a user terminal 10 is used, when the user uses the user terminal 10, it is necessary to perform user authentication using an IC card. The IC card is always set in the attached IC card reader. Using this, the monitoring means 11 determines whether the user is away from a position where the user terminal 10 cannot be operated or not depending on whether an IC card is set in the IC card reader. Therefore, the absence time is measured by a timer (not shown), and the measured absence time is output as a monitoring result. The monitoring procedure will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The above-mentioned IC card is usually carried by a user and is used for management of attendance and attendance and authentication for opening and closing the door in the company. Inevitably, the user must Since the IC card is removed from the IC card reader, it is possible to measure the away time extremely accurately by the method described above.

In addition to the method using an IC card, the following method may be used to determine whether the user is away from a position where the user terminal 10 can be operated to a position where the user terminal 10 cannot be operated. For example, an RFID reader is provided in the company or at the user's desk (or in the vicinity thereof), the user's specific information is read from the RFID held by the user using the RFID reader, and the user's location ( Whether the user is away or not), or by using GPS (Global Positioning System) to identify the location of the mobile phone, etc. Whether the user is sitting in front of the PC, and whether the user is away from the desk. It may be determined whether or not the user is away from the desk depending on whether the keyboard or mouse is operated or not in the case of a job type (data input, etc.) that operates the keyboard or mouse almost always. Even if you judge Good.

  Furthermore, the determination whether or not the user is away from a position where the user terminal 10 can be operated from a position where the user terminal 10 cannot be operated is determined in addition to the above-described method in the present embodiment with reference to FIGS. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, there is also a technique performed using a user position specifying function realized by the mobile device 20, the management device 30, and the relay device 40. In order to simplify the system configuration, the above-described method is used. However, it is desirable to use this method.

  The communication means 13 is realized by controlling a communication function (communication interface) generally provided in a computer or the like that can constitute the user terminal 10 by the processing unit 10a. This enables communication (data transmission / reception) not only with the user terminal 10 and the management apparatus 30 but also with a mailer function. In addition, the communication unit 13 of the present embodiment sends the monitoring result obtained by the monitoring unit 11 to the management apparatus 30 via the LAN 50 together with the user terminal identification code read from the user terminal identification code storage unit 12. Also fulfills the function of sending (notifying).

  The storage unit 30b in the management device 30 of the present embodiment stores the application program as described above, as well as the registered feature information storage unit 303, the biometric data value storage unit 308, the table storage unit 312, the position specifying result storage unit 313, and the work. It functions as the efficiency estimation result storage means 314.

  The registered feature information storage unit 303 stores the feature information extracted in advance from the biological signal of the management target user by the management device 30 in association with the management target user (user identification code) as registered feature information. It is.

Here, the biological signal of the user to be managed is naturally the same type of biological signal as that detected by the biological signal detection means 21 of the portable device 20.
The registered feature information stored in the registered feature information storage unit 303 has the same function as the feature information extraction unit 304 or the unit 304 described later when registering a user (employee, etc.) as a management target user. It is extracted from the biosignal of the user detected at the time of registration by the extracting means.

  The biometric data value storage means 308 gives the management target user (user identification code) the average biometric data value obtained in advance from the management target user's biological signal during the normal physical condition of the management target user by the management device 30. The information is stored in advance in association with each other. Here again, the biological signal of the user to be managed is naturally the same type of biological signal as that detected by the biological signal detection means 21 of the portable device 20.

  The biological signal storage unit 310 associates the biological signal received by the receiving unit 301 described later with the user (managed user identification code) authenticated by the authentication unit 306 described later and the reception time (detection time). To remember.

  The table storage unit 312 stores a table used when the position is specified by the user position specifying unit 302 described later. In this table, the identification code of the relay device 40 installed in each management target area is stored. In association with (relay device identification code), position information that can specify the management target area where the relay device 40 is installed is registered and stored in advance.

  The position specifying result storage unit 313 associates the position (position specifying result) of the user specified every predetermined period by the user position specifying unit 302 with a user (user identification code) and a specific time as will be described later. To remember and save.

  The work efficiency estimation result storage means 314 stores and saves the user's work efficiency estimation result estimated by the work efficiency estimation means 309 in association with the user (user identification code) and the estimation period. It is.

  The receiving unit 301 receives a biological signal from each relay device 40 together with a user identification code that can identify the user who detected the biological signal and a relay device identification code that can identify the relay device 40. Also, the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11 transmitted (notified) from each user terminal 10 is also received via the LAN 50.

  The reception unit 301 is realized by controlling a reception function (reception interface) generally provided in a computer or the like that can constitute the management apparatus 30 by the processing unit 30a. The management device 30 also has a transmission function (transmission interface) in addition to the above reception function. By controlling the communication functions including these reception functions and transmission functions by the processing unit 30a, In addition to enabling communication (data transmission / reception) with each user terminal 10 as well as the outside, a function as a mailer is also realized. Furthermore, the communication function is also used when realizing a notification function (various information notification to the information processing apparatus of the user or administrator) by the management unit 307 described later.

  The user position specifying unit 302 specifies the relay device 40 that relays and transmits the biological signal based on the relay device identification code received by the receiving unit 301, and determines the management target area in which the specified relay device 40 is installed. The position of the user carrying the portable device 20 is specified as the location or passing position. At this time, the user position specifying means 302 specifies and outputs the user position information by searching the table storage means 312 described above. That is, the table storage unit 312 is searched by the relay device identification code of the relay device 40 that relayed and transmitted the biological signal from the portable device 20, and the position information associated with the relay device identification code is stored in the table storage unit 312 (stored). Unit 30b), and outputs the user location identification result together with the identification code of the user and the specific time (or reception time) to notify the management means 307. (User identification code) and the specific time are stored in the position specifying result storage means 313.

Whether the user has passed through the entrance / exit area in the direction of entering the company (whether he / she has worked) or whether he / she has passed through the entrance / exit area in the direction of exiting the office (retired) is, for example, 2 across the door of the entrance / exit area. One relay device 40, 40 can be installed as a set, and the relay device 40, 40 can be identified by relaying the biological signal and the user identification code from the portable device 20 to the management device 30 respectively. It is. In other words, when the user position specifying result by the user position specifying unit 302 becomes the management target area of the company internal relay device 40 within a predetermined time from the management target area of the company outside relay device 40, the user position specifying unit 302 While the user recognizes that the user has worked, the result of the user position specification by the user position specifying means 302 is changed from the management target area of the company internal relay device 40 to the management target area of the company external relay device 40 within a predetermined time. When it becomes, the user position specifying means 302 recognizes that the user has left the office.

  The feature information extraction unit 304 extracts feature information from the biological signal received by the reception unit 301. As this feature information, the individual of the user can be specified, and if the detection signal is, for example, a pulse wave, the feature amount that makes the individual difference more noticeable, specifically, the differential signal of the pulse wave signal is used. For example, the obtained feature quantity emphasizes a high frequency component included in the pulse wave waveform.

  The matching unit 305 reads the registered feature information associated with the user identification code received together with the biological signal by the receiving unit 301 from the registered feature information storage unit 303 (the storage unit 30b), and reads the registered feature information read out. And the feature information extracted by the feature information extraction unit 304 are compared and collated, and it is determined whether or not the feature information matches or substantially matches. Here, it is not necessary for the feature information to be completely matched. When these feature information matches at a predetermined matching rate or higher, it is determined that they match.

  If the collation unit 305 determines that the feature information matches, the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the mobile device 20 is a management target user associated with the registered feature information. To do.

Here, a biometric identification method using biosignals such as electrocardiogram, pulse wave, heart sound, blink, brain wave, respiratory sound, body temperature, etc. is specifically disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-422. Has been. As for the authentication using the electroencephalogram pattern, for example, “ID authentication with electroencephalogram pattern (1)” <search August 29, 2007; Internet; URL: http://wiredvision.jp/news/200705/2007051522. html> and “ID authentication with brain wave pattern (2)” <2

  The work efficiency estimation means 309 indicates the work efficiency of the work using the information processing apparatus by the user who has been authenticated by the authentication means 306, as the operation status of each user terminal 10 received by the reception means 301 (each user terminal 10 Based on the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11 notified from the above) or the identification result by the user position identifying unit 302 in some cases, the work efficiency of the work using the user terminal 10 by each user is estimated. The estimation result is output together with the identification code of the user and a specific time (or reception time) to notify the management means 307, and the estimation result is associated with the user (user identification code) and the estimation period. And stored in the work efficiency estimation result storage means 314. The work efficiency estimation method by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 will be described later. The work efficiency estimation means 309 is arranged not on the management device 30 side but on each user terminal 10 side, and instead of the monitoring result by the monitoring means 11, the work efficiency estimation result is sent from the user terminal 10 via the LAN 50. It can also be configured to transmit to the management device 30.

The away time measuring means 311 can be operated from a position where the user can operate his / her own user terminal 10 based on the identification result by the user position identifying means 302 according to a procedure described later with reference to FIG. It measures the absence time when the user is away to a possible position. As described above, in order to accurately measure the time away from the user, a relay device 40 is provided for each user's seat (a desk on which the user's own user terminal 10 on which the user performs work) is provided. 40 is used to monitor whether or not there is a user at the seat, but it is set in this area that the user to be managed is in an area other than the room where the user should be present during work. If it is specified by the relay device 40 and the user position specifying means 302, it may be determined that the user is away and the away time may be measured. It becomes possible to reduce the number of relay apparatuses.

  The management unit 307 identifies the user (managed user) authenticated by the authentication unit 306 based on the biosignal received by the reception unit 301 and the identification result by the user position identification unit 302 as described in [i] below. Enter / exit management (attendance / work management), [ii] physical condition management, [iii] aptitude work management, [iv] occupational aptitude diagnosis management and [v] work efficiency management.

[i] Entrance / exit management (attendance management)
Triggered by the fact that the user location specifying means 302 has identified the management target area corresponding to the entrance / exit area as the user's passing position, that is, triggered by the detection of the attendance / leaving of the management target user as described above. The management unit 307 manages the entry / exit of the management target user authenticated by the authentication unit 306. Specifically, the management unit 307 associates the attendance / leaving of the management target user with the management target user (user identification code) and the attendance / exit time in a predetermined area (entrance / exit management) of the storage unit 30b. Register and save in the table (not shown).

[ii] Physical Condition Management The management unit 307 manages the physical condition of the management target user authenticated by the authentication unit 306 based on the biological signal received by the receiving unit 301 from the portable device 20 via the relay device 40. At this time, the management unit 307 manages the biometric data value obtained from the biometric signal received by the receiving unit 301 and the management target authenticated by the authentication unit 306 read from the biometric data value storage unit 308 (storage unit 30b). The average biometric data value corresponding to the user is compared, and if the difference between these biometric data values is greater than a predetermined value, the user to be managed is determined to be in poor health, and the communication function Is used to manage the physical condition such as notifying the information processing device of the user or administrator. In this case, the management unit 307 or the processing unit 30a performs a function of acquiring a biometric data value from the biosignal received by the receiving unit 301.

[iii] Aptitude work management The management means 307 determines the appropriate work according to the physical condition of the user to be managed based on the biological signal received by the receiving means 301 from the portable device 20 via the relay device 40, and the appropriate work Is used to perform aptitude work management such as notifying the information processing apparatus of the user or administrator using the communication function. This aptitude job management is executed as necessary. When this aptitude job management is executed, for example, an execution instruction is given by setting the aptitude job management execution flag to ON. In this case, for example, as a table in which aptitude work (work content) according to the physical condition of each managed user is associated with each managed user (user identification code) and the biometric data value of the user, the storage unit The management unit 307 acquires a biometric data value from the biometric signal received by the receiving unit 301, and stores the table based on the biometric data value and the user identification code of the user. By searching, the business content (appropriate business) corresponding to the physical condition of the user is determined.

[iv] Job Type Aptitude Diagnosis Management The management unit 307 manages the estimation result of the user's work efficiency by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 by the biological signal of the management target user received by the reception unit 301 and the user position specifying unit 302 By adding to the result of specifying the position of the target user, the suitability of the user to be managed is diagnosed and managed according to the procedure described later with reference to FIG. In this case, a biological signal for a user to be managed during work is received by the reception unit 301 and stored in the biological signal storage unit 310, and the management unit 307 is provided with an appropriate timing (e.g. The work efficiency estimating means 309 at the timing when a predetermined period has passed since the current job type)
Based on the estimation result of the work efficiency and the biological signal stored in the biological signal storage unit 310 (actually, the biological data value acquired from the biological signal), the job aptitude of the management target user is diagnosed.

[v] Work efficiency management The management means 307 uses the management target user's biological signal received by the reception means 301 and the management target by the user position specifying means 302 based on the estimation result of the user's work efficiency by the work efficiency estimation means 309. The work efficiency of the management target user is managed by adding to the result of user location specification. At this time, when the user's work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation means 309 is lower than a predetermined value, the management means 307 uses the biometric data value obtained from the user's biometric signal authenticated by the authentication means 306. When the average biometric data value corresponding to the management target user stored in advance in the biometric data value storage unit 308 is compared, and the difference between these biometric data values is greater than a predetermined value, the user's work efficiency is improved. It is determined that the cause lower than the predetermined value is poor physical condition, and the fact is notified to the information processing apparatus of the user or administrator using the communication function. The management means 307 evaluates and manages users based on the work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation means 309. For example, the work efficiency estimation means for every predetermined time or for the work hours of one day. The work efficiency (estimated value) obtained by 309 is accumulated and stored for each user in the work efficiency estimation result storage means 314, and the user's work efficiency is evaluated on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. It is reflected in the assessment, the work efficiency is notified to the user, and the work efficiency improvement instruction is notified to the user when the work efficiency is low.

  Below, the work efficiency estimation method by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 will be described for each type of operation status monitored by the monitoring unit 11. Further, when the work efficiency is estimated based on the user's away time, the work efficiency is determined based on the away time measured by the away time measuring means 311 without using the monitoring result by the monitoring means 11. The estimation method will also be described.

(11) When the operation status of the backspace key and / or delete key is monitored as the operation status.
In a job category in which work is performed by operating the keyboard to input information to the user terminal 10, the deliverables obtained by the work are, for example, programs, business documents, input results of various data, and the like. The work efficiency (productivity) of the work for obtaining such a deliverable can be estimated by estimating from the information input situation by keyboard operation. If there are many typographical errors during the work, it can be estimated that the work efficiency (productivity) is low. For example, a typo in information input by keyboard operation can be detected by operating the backspace key or delete key after the user operates the character input key or character conversion key, and operating the backspace key or delete key. It can be detected as an operation to cancel the operation result or characters after character conversion. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimating unit 309 determines the amount of information input per predetermined time (unit time / working time) or based on the number of operations of the backspace key / delete key obtained by the monitoring unit 11 as described above. Calculates the operation frequency of the backspace key and delete key (at least one of these keys) per (business processing unit / number of input characters / number of predetermined key operations) or for each file, and the backspace key operation frequency is high The lower the work efficiency is. At this time, the operation frequency of the backspace key and the delete key is determined by the time from when the user goes to work until he leaves the office [information obtained by the entry / exit management function by the management device 30 (management means 307)] or by the user It may be obtained by dividing the number of times of backspace key / deletion key operation during the period from when the user terminal 10 is activated to when it is turned off, or for the character input key monitored by the monitoring means 11 The number of operations may be obtained by dividing the number of backspace key / delete key operations during that period. Further, the backspace key / deletion key operation frequency and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated steplessly or may be associated in a plurality of steps. In the case of the stepless association, the work efficiency estimated value is calculated as a value that is inversely proportional to the backspace key / delete key operation frequency value, for example. Further, when the correspondence is made in a plurality of stages, for example, in the 5-stage evaluation, when the backspace key / deletion key operation frequency is the lowest region, that is, when the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is given. When the operation frequency is the highest region, that is, when the work efficiency is the lowest, the evaluation value “1” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

(12) When the number of deleted characters is monitored as the operation status.
As described above in item (11), it is estimated that work efficiency (productivity) is low when there are many typographical errors in job types that perform operations by operating the keyboard and inputting information to the user terminal 10. Is possible. For example, a typo in information input by keyboard operation can be detected as a character deletion operation after character input. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimating unit 309 determines the amount of information input per predetermined time (unit time / working time) or predetermined information input (business operation) based on the number of characters deleted after the character input obtained by the monitoring unit 11 as described above. The character deletion frequency per processing unit / number of predetermined input characters / number of predetermined key operations) or for each file is calculated, and the higher the character deletion frequency, the lower the work efficiency. At this time, the character deletion frequency is the time from when the user goes to work until he leaves the office [information obtained by the above-mentioned entry / exit management function by the management device 30 (management means 307)] or the user's own user terminal 10 It may be obtained by dividing the number of deleted characters in the period by the time from starting to turning off, or by dividing the number of deleted characters in that period by the number of operations of the character input key monitored by the monitoring means 11. May be obtained. Further, the character deletion frequency and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated in a stepless manner or in a plurality of steps. When associating steplessly, the work efficiency estimation value is calculated as a value that is inversely proportional to the character deletion frequency value, for example. In addition, in the case of association in a plurality of stages, for example, in a five-stage evaluation, if the character deletion frequency is the lowest region, that is, the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is set, and if the character deletion frequency is the highest, When the work efficiency is the lowest, the evaluation value “1” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

(13) When monitoring the creation speed and creation time of deliverables (documents) as the operation status.
Of course, if the creation of deliverables (documents) is slow, it is assumed that the work efficiency (productivity) is low in the occupations in which work is performed by operating the keyboard and inputting information to the user terminal 10. Is possible. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimation unit 309 estimates the work efficiency lower as the creation time or creation speed obtained by the monitoring unit 11 is slower as described above. The creation speed and creation time and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated in a stepless manner or in a plurality of steps. When associating steplessly, the work efficiency estimated value is calculated as, for example, a value inversely proportional to the creation time or a value proportional to the creation speed. Further, when the correspondence is made in a plurality of stages, for example, in the five-stage evaluation, when the creation time is the shortest (the fastest creation speed), that is, when the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is set. In the case of a long area (area where the creation speed is the slowest), that is, when the work efficiency is the lowest, the evaluation value “1” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

(14) When the proofreading result of the document obtained as the information input result by the keyboard operation is monitored as the operation status.
In this embodiment, this monitoring is performed to supplement the estimation methods in the items (11) to (13) described above. In other words, even if the backspace key / deletion key operation frequency and character deletion frequency are low, or the creation speed and creation time are fast, misspellings in the deliverables (for example, programs, business documents, input results of various data, etc.) And when there are many typographical errors, it cannot be said that work efficiency (productivity) is high. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimation unit 309 adds the calibration result obtained by the monitoring unit 11 as described above to the estimation of the work efficiency. For example, the work efficiency estimated value obtained by the estimation methods of the above items (11) to (13) is changed according to the number of spelling errors and typographical errors obtained as a calibration result. Even if the work efficiency estimated value (evaluation value) obtained by the estimation methods of the items (11) to (13) is “5”, if the number of spelling errors or typographical errors exceeds a predetermined threshold, The value corresponding to the size of the number is subtracted from the evaluation value. For example, when the first threshold value is exceeded, “1” is subtracted from the evaluation value and the rating “5” is changed to “4”, and when the second threshold value larger than the first threshold value is exceeded, “ “2” appears from the evaluation value and “5” is changed to “3”. Instead of subtracting the predetermined value “1” or “2”, the evaluation value may be changed by multiplying by a predetermined coefficient “0.9” or “0.8”. Also, instead of changing the estimated work efficiency value (evaluation value) according to the calibration result as described above, the automatic calibration result is notified to the user or the administrator, and the user or the administrator refers to the calibration result. When the document is corrected, the monitoring means 11 counts the number of backspace key / deletion key operations and the number of deleted characters, and calculates the work efficiency estimated value by the estimation method of the items (1) and (2). Also good.

(15) When the number of emails sent and received at each user terminal 10 is monitored as the operation status.
For occupations that perform work by operating the user terminal 10, the number of emails sent and received at the user terminal 10 is regarded as a parameter related to the work efficiency of the work for obtaining a product associated with the work. Can do. For example, the number of emails sent and received is inevitably large for sales clerks and help desks, but the number of emails is basically small for technical clerks such as programmers. It should be. In other words, if the job content is the latter (such as a technical office work such as a programmer), it can be estimated that the greater the number of emails sent and received, the lower the work efficiency (productivity). Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimating unit 309 is configured to use the number of transmitted / received mails obtained by the monitoring unit 11 as described above (for example, the result counted in the time from when the user goes to work until he leaves the office, or a predetermined unit time The work efficiency of the work using the user terminal 10 by the user is estimated on the basis of the results counted in the above and the job contents of the user. More specifically, for users of occupations where the number of emails sent and received should increase as the job content, either stop using the number of emails sent or received as a parameter for estimating work efficiency, or The smaller the number, the less likely the job is being performed, so the lower the number of emails sent and received, the lower the work efficiency. At this time, the number of transmitted / received mails and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated steplessly or may be associated in a plurality of steps. In the case of association in a stepless manner, the work efficiency estimation value is calculated as a value proportional to the number of transmitted / received mails, for example. Also, when the correspondence is made in a plurality of stages, for example, in the five-stage evaluation, the evaluation value “1” is obtained when the number of transmitted / received mails is the lowest, that is, the work efficiency is the smallest, and the evaluation value “1” is obtained. When the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is output as the work efficiency estimated value. Conversely, for users who do not frequently send and receive emails as job descriptions, the greater the number of emails sent and received (especially the number of emails sent to the outside and the number of emails received from outside the company), the more likely they are not performing their duties. Therefore, the greater the number of emails sent and received, the lower the work efficiency. Also at this time, the number of transmitted / received mails and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated in a stepless manner or in a plurality of steps. When associating steplessly, the work efficiency estimation value is calculated as a value that is inversely proportional to the number of sent and received mails, for example. Also, in the case of correspondence in a plurality of stages, for example, in a five-stage evaluation, when the area has the largest number of sent / received mails, that is, when the work efficiency is the smallest, the evaluation value “1” is given. When the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

(16) When the user's absence time is monitored as the operation status.
In occupations in which work is performed by operating the user terminal 10, the user is not performing work unless at least the user is present at the installation location (desk) of the user terminal 10. So, for example, the higher the percentage of time that users are away from their desks during work hours (seating ratio), the opposite is that users are present at their desks. It is possible to estimate that work efficiency (productivity) is lower as the proportion of time spent (attended ratio) is lower. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimation means 309 is determined based on the absence time obtained by the monitoring means 11 as described above or the absence time measured by the absence time measurement means 311 of the management device 30. The absence rate per time (unit time / working time / business hours) is calculated, and the higher the absence rate, the lower the work efficiency. That is, the absence rate is the time from when a user goes to work until he leaves the office [information obtained by the above-mentioned entry / exit management function by the management device 30 (management means 307)] or the user sets his / her own user terminal 10 It can be obtained by dividing the absence time by the time from the start to the turn-off. Further, the absence rate and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated in a stepless manner or in a plurality of steps. When associating steplessly, the work efficiency estimated value is calculated as a value that is inversely proportional to the away rate, for example. Further, when the correspondence is made in a plurality of stages, for example, in the five-stage evaluation, the evaluation value “5” is obtained when the separation rate is the lowest, that is, when the work efficiency is the highest, and the evaluation value “5” is obtained. When the work efficiency is the lowest, the evaluation value “1” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

  (17) When the access time to the external site (such as the number of writes to the Internet bulletin board and the amount of data written, the number of uploads to the external site and the amount of data, etc.) is monitored as the operation status.

  For occupations that perform operations by operating the user terminal 10, access to external sites is basically the job content, unless the occupation requires access to an external site and information search. For example, it is possible to estimate that the work efficiency (productivity) is lower as the access time from the user terminal 10 to the external site is larger during business hours. Therefore, in this case, the work efficiency estimation unit 309 estimates the work efficiency as the access time obtained by the monitoring unit 11 as described above increases. Also at this time, the access time and the work efficiency as the estimation result may be associated steplessly or may be associated in a plurality of steps. In the case of association in a stepless manner, the work efficiency estimated value is calculated as a value that is inversely proportional to the access time, for example. In addition, in the case of association in a plurality of stages, for example, in the 5-stage evaluation, when the access time is the smallest area, that is, when the work efficiency is the highest, the evaluation value “5” is obtained. When the work efficiency is the lowest, the evaluation value “1” is output as the work efficiency estimated value.

(18) When two or more types of operation status are monitored.
The estimated work efficiency obtained in each of the above items (11) to (17) may be added, or the number of backspace key / delete key operations, the number of deleted characters, and the creation time obtained as a monitoring result by the monitoring means Create a function or table that correlates (working speed), calibration results, number of emails sent / received, leaving time, access time, etc., attendance time, etc. with estimated work efficiency, and work using that function or table An efficiency estimated value is calculated.

[2] Operation of the present embodiment [2-1] Operation of the mobile device of the present embodiment The operation of the mobile device 20 in the management system 1 of the present embodiment will be described according to the flowchart (steps S101 to S104) shown in FIG. .

  When the biological signal detection / transmission timing of a predetermined cycle comes (YES route of step S101), the biological signal detection means 21 uses the portable device 20 that is worn and carried by the biological signal detection means 21 in accordance with an instruction from the processing unit 20a of the portable device 20. A biological signal of the person is detected (step S102).

When the biological signal is detected by the biological signal detection means 21, the user identification code of the user is read from the user identification code storage means 22 (storage section 20b) by the processing section 20a (transmission means 23) ( Step S103), the detected biological signal is transmitted to the user identification code storage means via the relay device 40 installed in the immediate vicinity of the portable device 20 (that is, the management target area where the user is present). Along with the user identification code read out from 22, the data is transmitted to the management apparatus 30 (step S104).

[2-2] Operation of Relay Device of This Embodiment The operation of the relay device 40 in the management system 1 of this embodiment will be described according to the flowchart (steps S201 to S203) shown in FIG.

  When the receiving means 42 receives the biometric detection signal with the user identification code transmitted from the portable device 20 in the relayable area (management target area) of the relay device 40 (YES route in step S201), processing is performed. The relay device identification code of the relay device 40 is read from the relay device identification code storage unit 41 (storage unit 40b) by the unit 40a (transmission unit 43) (step S202). Then, the biological signal accompanied by the user identification code received by the receiving means 42 is transmitted to the management apparatus 30 via the LAN 50 by the transmission means 43 together with the relay apparatus identification code read from the relay apparatus identification code storage means 41. It is transmitted (step S203).

[2-3] Operation of the management apparatus according to the present embodiment According to the flowchart (steps S301 to S324) shown in FIG. Describes the location operation, entry / exit management operation, physical condition management operation, and aptitude work management operation.

  When a biological signal (with a user identification code and a relay device identification code) is received from the relay device 40 by the receiving unit 301 of the management device 30 (YES route in step S301), a feature is obtained from the received biological signal. The feature information (feature amount) is extracted by the information extraction unit 304 (step S302), and the registered feature information storage unit 303 is searched for the user identification code attached to the biological signal, and this user identification code is supported. The attached registered feature information is read from the registered feature information storage unit 303 (storage unit 30b) (step S303). At this time, when the registered feature information corresponding to the user identification code attached to the biological signal is not registered in the registered feature information storage unit 303 and a search result is not obtained (in the case of no hit), To that effect, the communication function notifies the terminal such as a user or administrator as an authentication error.

  In the matching unit 305, the registered feature information read from the registered feature information storage unit 303 is compared with the feature information extracted by the feature information extracting unit 304 (step S304), and the feature information matches. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not they substantially match (step S305).

  If it is determined that they do not match (NO route in step S305), this is notified to the terminal of the user, administrator, or the like as an authentication error by the communication function (step S306), but it is determined that they match. In the case (YES route of step S305), the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the mobile device 20 is a management target user associated with the registered feature information (step S305). S307).

  In this embodiment, for the management target user who is authenticated in step S307, the processing in steps S308 to S313 (user location specifying operation and entry / exit management operation) and the processing in steps S314 to S319 (physical condition management operation) ) And processing (appropriate work management operation) in steps S320 to S324 are performed in parallel. Note that these processes may be sequentially executed serially.

First, processing (user location specifying operation and entry / exit management operation) in steps S308 to S313 will be described.
When the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the portable device 20 is a management target user associated with the registered feature information, the relay unit identification code received by the reception unit 301 is added. Based on this, the relay device 40 that relayed and transmitted the biological signal is specified by the user position specifying unit 302, and the management target area in which the specified relay device 40 is installed is the user carrying the mobile device 20. Is specified as the location / passing position (step S308).

  At this time, the user location specifying unit 302 searches the table in the table storage unit 312 with the relay device identification code, and the position information associated with the relay device identification code is obtained from the table storage unit 312 (storage unit 30b). The information is read out and output as a result of specifying the position of the user together with the identification code of the user and a specific time (or reception time) and notified to the management unit 307.

  Here, as the passing position of the management target user, as described above, whether the user has passed the entrance / exit area in the direction of entering the company (whether he / she went to work) or has passed the exit / entrance area in the direction of leaving the company (whether he / she left the office) Is detected using a set of relay devices 40, 40 installed across the door in the entrance / exit area as described above, and the positions of the users are determined in any order within a predetermined time. It is recognized depending on what you specify.

  Then, the management unit 307 determines whether or not the position specifying result by the user position specifying unit 302 is related to passage through the entrance / exit area (step S309), and is not related to passing through the entrance / exit area (step S309). (NO route of S309), the position specifying result is stored in the position specifying result storing unit 313 in association with the user (user identification code) and the specific time (step S310).

  When the position specifying result by the user position specifying means 302 is a position where the entrance / exit area is a passing position (YES route in step S309), the management means 307 determines whether the position specifying result is going to work or leaving work. In step S311 and when it is attendance ("attempt" route), the attendance record of the management target user is associated with the management target user (user identification code) and the attendance time in the storage unit 30b. This is performed for a predetermined area (entry / exit management table; not shown) (step S312). When the employee is away from work ("out of office" route), the management user's leaving record is stored in the management target user ( This is performed on a predetermined area (entry / exit management table; not shown) in the storage unit 30b in association with the user identification code) and the working time (step S313).

Next, processing (physical condition management operation) by steps S314 to S319 will be described.
When the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the portable device 20 is a management target user associated with the registered feature information, the biometric signal received by the reception unit 301 is authenticated. It is stored in the biological signal storage means 310 in association with the received user (management target user identification code) and the reception time (detection time) (step S314).

  In addition, the management unit 307 acquires a biological data value from the biological signal received this time (step S315), and searches the biological data value storage unit 308 with the user identification code attached to the biological signal. The average biometric data value associated with the user identification code is read from the biometric data value storage unit 308 (storage unit 30b) (step S316).

In the management means 307, the biometric data value obtained from the biometric signal received by the receiving means 301 is compared with the average biometric data value read from the biometric data value storage means 308 (step S317). If the difference between the data values is larger than the predetermined value (YES route in step S318), the management target user is determined to be in poor physical condition, and that fact is indicated to the user or administrator using the communication function. And the like are notified to the terminal (step S319).

  In addition, notifying that it has been determined that the patient is in poor physical condition, the management is performed in a predetermined area (physical condition management information) of the storage unit 30b to be used as a reference when performing user work evaluation at a later date. Stored in association with the target user (user identification code).

On the other hand, when the difference between these biometric data values is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value (NO route of step S318), step S319 is skipped.
Next, processing (appropriate work management operation) in steps S320 to S324 will be described.

  In step S315, when a biometric data value is acquired from the biosignal received this time, in the present embodiment, the management unit 307 refers to the aptitude business management execution flag, and this flag is set to ON ( In the YES route in step S320), the table for aptitude business management in the storage unit 30b is searched with the management target user identification code and the biometric data value acquired this time, and the biometric data value of the management target user is obtained. The corresponding business content (appropriate business) is read (step S321).

  When the business content (appropriate business) corresponding to the biometric data value of the management target user is set in the table (YES route in step S322), the business content is performed by the current user. It is determined whether or not it is the same as the current business content (step S323). If not the same (NO route in step S323), the business content read in step S321 is determined as the appropriate business, and A terminal such as a user or an administrator is notified using the communication function (step S324).

  Next, according to the flowchart (steps S401 to S413) shown in FIG. 6, the operation of the management apparatus 30 in the management system 1 of the present embodiment, in particular, the job type aptitude diagnosis management operation will be described.

  When the management means 307 detects a managed user who has reached a predetermined job aptitude aptitude diagnosis management timing (for example, a timing when a predetermined period has elapsed since the managed user took the current job type) (YES in step S401) Route), the predetermined period after the biometric signal storage means 310 is searched with the identification code of the user to be managed, the biosignal associated with the identification code, and the user to be managed is in the current job type. Are read from the biological signal storage means 310 (storage unit 30b) (step S402).

  Then, the management unit 307 acquires a biometric data value over the predetermined period from the read biometric signal (step S403). In step S315 of FIG. 5 described above, the biometric data value of the user at the time of reception is acquired from the received biometric signal. In this step S403, for example, the average value of the biometric data values over the predetermined period is used. Etc. are acquired.

  In the management unit 307, the biometric data value storage unit 308 is searched with the identification code of the user to be managed, and the average biometric data value associated with the identification code is stored in the biometric data value storage unit 308 (storage unit). 30b) (step S404), the biometric data value acquired in step S403 is compared with the average biometric data value read from the biometric data value storage means 308 (step S405), and these biometric data are stored. It is determined whether or not the value difference is within a predetermined value set in advance (step S406).

In parallel with the processing of steps S402 to S406 described above, the following steps S407 to S409 are also executed.
That is, in the management unit 307, the work efficiency estimation result storage unit 314 is searched with the identification code of the user to be managed, and the work efficiency estimation result associated with the identification code is the work over the predetermined period. The efficiency estimation result is read from the work efficiency estimation result storage unit 314 (storage unit 30b) (step S407). Here, the work efficiency estimation result storage unit 314 stores the work efficiency estimation result estimated by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 according to the procedure described later with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12 for each management target user. It is stored and stored in association with the user (user identification code) and the estimation period.

  Further, the management means 307 compares the work efficiency estimation result read from the work efficiency estimation result storage means 314 with a predetermined level set in advance (step S408), and the work efficiency estimation result exceeds the predetermined level. It is determined whether or not there is (step S409).

  Then, the management unit 307 diagnoses the suitability of the management target user for the current job type as follows according to the determination result in step S406 and the determination result in step S409.

  When the managed user is performing a certain occupation (programming, data input, CAD design, operator, etc.), the detected biological signal and the estimated work efficiency are all good, that is, the biological When the difference between the biometric data value obtained from the signal and the average biometric data value is within a predetermined value (YES route in step S406) and the level of the work efficiency estimation result is equal to or higher than the predetermined level (YES route in step S409) ) Is output a diagnosis result ("suitable") that the user to be managed is suitable for the job type, and notifies the terminal of the user or administrator using the above communication function (Step S410).

  When the biological signal detected for the user to be managed is poor while the job type is being executed but the work efficiency estimation result is good, that is, the biological data value obtained from the biological signal and the average The physical condition is good when the difference from the physiological data value exceeds the predetermined value (NO route of step S406) and the level of the work efficiency estimation result is equal to or higher than the predetermined level (YES route of step S409). In spite of the fact that the work efficiency is low, it is judged that the user to be managed is not suitable for the current job type, and the diagnosis result that the user to be managed is not suitable for the job type ("No suitability" ) Is output, and the fact is notified to a terminal such as a user or an administrator using the communication function (step S411).

  When the biological signal detected for the user to be managed is in a good state but the work efficiency estimation result is in a bad state when executing the occupation, that is, the biological data value obtained from the biological signal and the average If the difference from the target biometric data value is within a predetermined value (YES route in step S406) and the estimated level of work efficiency is less than the predetermined level (NO route in step S409), the management target user Is likely to be suitable for the job type, but a conditional diagnosis result ("Conditional suitability") is output indicating that the current job type may be inappropriate due to the influence on the physical condition. Is notified to a terminal such as a user or an administrator using the communication function (step S412).

When the biological signal detected and the estimated work efficiency are both poor for the management target user when executing the occupation, that is, the biological data value obtained from the biological signal and the average biological data If the difference from the value exceeds the predetermined value (NO route of step S406) and the level of the work efficiency estimation result is less than the predetermined level (NO route of step S409), the management target user There is a high possibility that it is not suitable for the job type, but a conditional diagnosis result ("No conditional aptitude") indicating that work efficiency may have been reduced due to poor physical condition is output. The communication function is used to notify a terminal such as a user or administrator (step S413).

  The occupational aptitude diagnostic criteria are not limited to the criteria in steps S410 to S413 described with reference to FIG. 6 in the present embodiment, and are appropriately set according to diagnostic criteria considered by the administrator or the like. In addition, diagnostic criteria are set to output step-by-step job suitability diagnosis results according to the level of work efficiency estimation results and the level of physical condition (the magnitude of the difference between biometric data values and average biometric data values). May be.

[2-4] Work efficiency estimation operation and work efficiency management operation in the present embodiment Next, according to the flowchart (steps S11 to S16) shown in FIG. 7, the work efficiency estimation operation and the work efficiency management in the management system 1 of the present embodiment. A first example of the operation will be described.

  First, when the user position identification means 302 recognizes that the management target user (employee) has gone to work, or when the user activates his / her user terminal 10 (YES route in step S11). ), The monitoring means 11 in the user terminal 10 starts monitoring the operation status of the user terminal 10 by each user (step S12). At this time, when the attendance time is adopted, the attendance time is recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the user to be managed (user identification code) by the upper entry / exit management function of the management unit 307 as described above. When the activation time is adopted, the activation time is notified from the user terminal 10 to the management device 30 (management means 307), and recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code). Is done.

  The monitoring of the operation status by the monitoring unit 11 in step S12 is performed until the user location specifying unit 302 recognizes that the user to be managed has left the office or the user terminal 10 of the user is off ( The operation is continued until the power is turned off (until YES is determined in step S13). At this time, when the work time is adopted, the work time is recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code) by the upper entry / exit management function of the management unit 307 as described above. When the off time is adopted, the off time is notified from the user terminal 10 to the management device 30 (management means 307), and recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code). Is done.

  Thereafter, the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11 is notified from the user terminal 10 to the work efficiency estimation unit 309 of the management apparatus 30 (from the YES route of step S13 to step S14). At this time, the monitoring result is notified from the user terminal 10 to the work efficiency estimating unit 309 in the management apparatus 30 via the communication unit 13, the LAN 50 and the receiving unit 301.

  Then, in the work efficiency estimation unit 309, the work efficiency of the work using the user terminal 10 by each user by the method of any of the items (1) to (8) based on the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11. Estimated (step S15), the estimation result is notified to the management unit 307, and is associated with the management target user (user identification code) and stored in the work efficiency estimation result storage unit 314 (storage unit 30b) (step S15). S16).

  In the management means 307 notified of the estimation result, the work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation means 309 within the daily work hours (the activation period of the user terminal 10) is accumulated and stored in association with the user. The user's work efficiency is evaluated and managed for each file, weekly, monthly, or yearly.

As described above, in the first example shown in FIG. 7, the work efficiency within the working hours of the day (the activation period of the user terminal 10) is estimated and notified to the management unit 307.
Next, a second example of the work efficiency estimation operation and the work efficiency management operation in the management system 1 of the present embodiment will be described according to the flowchart (steps S21 to S27) shown in FIG.

  First, when the user (employee) has gone to work is recognized by the user position specifying means 302, or when the user starts his user terminal 10 (YES route in step S21), The monitoring means 11 in the user terminal 10 starts monitoring the operation status of the user terminal 10 by each user (step S22). At this time, when the attendance time is adopted, the attendance time is recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code) by the upper entry / exit management function of the management unit 307 as described above. When the activation time is adopted, the activation time is notified from the user terminal 10 to the management device 30 (management means 307) and recorded in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code). Saved.

When a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) elapses after monitoring of the operation status is started, or when a predetermined information input amount is input when the estimation method of item (1) above is adopted (operation of the character input key) When the number of times reaches a predetermined value), the monitoring result within the predetermined time or the monitoring result within the predetermined information input amount (in this case, the number of backspace key / deletion key operations) is operated from the user terminal 10. The efficiency estimation means 309 is notified (from the YES route of step S23 to step S24). At this time, as in the first example, the monitoring result is notified from the user terminal 10 to the work efficiency estimating unit 309 in the management apparatus 30 via the communication unit 13, the LAN 50, and the receiving unit 301.

  Then, in the work efficiency estimation means 309, each user is determined at every predetermined time or every predetermined information input amount by the method of any of the items (11) to (18) based on the monitoring result by the monitoring means 11. The work efficiency of the work using the user terminal 10 is estimated (step S25), the estimation result is notified to the management means 307, and the work efficiency estimation result storage is associated with the management target user (user identification code). The data is stored in the means 314 (storage unit 30b) (step S26).

  After saving the estimation result, or when the predetermined time has not elapsed / the predetermined information input amount has not been reached (NO route in step S23), whether or not the management target user has retired or the user of the user It is determined whether or not the terminal 10 is turned off (power is cut off) (step S27). When the employee leaves / turns off (YES route in step S27), the process returns to step S21 while the employee is not quit / off (step S27). NO route), the process returns to step S22.

  That is, until it is recognized by the user position specifying unit 302 that the user to be managed has left the office or until the user terminal 10 of the user is turned off (power is turned off) (YES in step S27) Steps S22 to S26 are repeatedly executed. At this time as well, when the work time is adopted, the work time is recorded and stored in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code) by the upper entry / exit management function of the management unit 307 as described above. When the off time is adopted, the off time is notified from the user terminal 10 to the management device 30 (management means 307) and recorded in the storage unit 30b in association with the management target user (user identification code). Saved.

In the management means 307 notified of the estimation result, the work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation means 309 for each predetermined time or for each predetermined information input amount within the daily work time (the activation period of the user terminal 10). Are accumulated and stored in association with the management target user (user identification code), and the work efficiency of the user is evaluated and managed.

As described above, in the second example shown in FIG. 8, the work efficiency is estimated every predetermined time or every predetermined information input amount and notified to the management unit 307.
Next, a first example (backspace key / deletion key operation frequency monitoring operation) of the monitoring unit 11 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 (steps S31 to S36). That is, in step S12 of FIG. 7 or step S22 of FIG. 8, the monitoring means 11 in the case of monitoring the number of operations of the backspace key and the delete key as the operation status [when the above item (11) is adopted as the estimation method]. A monitoring operation procedure according to will be described.

  When the monitoring operation is started, first, a counter function provided as a function of the monitoring means 11 [counter function for counting the number of operations of the backspace key and the delete key and operation of a character input key (may include a character conversion key) The counter function for counting the number of times] is initialized (step S31). That is, the count value by the counter function is set to 0.

  Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not a key operation is performed on the keyboard of the user terminal 10 (step S32). When the key operation is performed (YES route in step S32), the operated key is a character input key (English). It is determined whether or not the key is a key for inputting numbers or symbols) or a character conversion key (step S33).

  If the operated key is a character input key or a character conversion key (YES route of step S33), the count value of the number of times of character input key operation by the counter function is incremented by 1 (step S34), and then step Return to S32.

  On the other hand, if the operated key is not a character input key (NO route of step S33), it is determined whether the operated key is a backspace key or a delete key (step S35). If the operated key is not a backspace key (NO route of step S35), the process returns to step S32. If the operated key is the backspace key or the delete key (YES route in step S35), the counter function counts up the backspace key / delete key operation count by 1 (step S35). S35), the process returns to step S32.

  The number of character input key operations and the number of backspace key / deletion key operations thus counted by the monitoring unit 11 are notified to the work efficiency estimation unit 309 as a monitoring result, and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 reports the items (11 ), The backspace key per predetermined time (unit time / working hours) or per predetermined information input amount (business processing unit / predetermined number of input characters) or for each file based on the number of operations of the backspace key. / Deletion key operation frequency is calculated, and the higher the backspace key / deletion key operation frequency is, the lower the work efficiency is estimated.

  Next, a second example (deleted character count monitoring operation) of the operation of the monitoring unit 11 in this embodiment will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 (steps S41 to S48). That is, in step S12 of FIG. 7 or step S22 of FIG. 8, when the number of characters deleted after character input (immediately after character input key operation and after character conversion key operation) is monitored as the operation status [the estimation item above The monitoring operation procedure by the monitoring means 11 in the case (12) is adopted will be described.

When the monitoring operation is started, first, a counter function (a counter function for counting the number of input characters and a counter function for counting the number of deleted characters) provided as a function of the monitoring unit 11 is initialized (step S41). That is, the count value by the counter function is set to 0.

  Thereafter, it is monitored whether or not any operation is performed on the user terminal 10 (step S42). If any operation is performed (YES route in step S42), the operation is an operation of the character input key and the character conversion key. It is determined whether or not (step S43).

  When the character input key and the character conversion key are operated (YES route in step S43), it is determined that the character input operation has been performed, and after obtaining the number of characters input in the current operation (step S44) After counting up the count value of the number of input characters by the counter function by the number of input characters this time (step S45), the process returns to step S42.

  On the other hand, if the operation performed on the user terminal 10 is not the operation of the character input key and the character conversion key (NO route in step S43), the operation deletes the input character (character deletion operation; , Backspace key operation, delete key operation, etc.) (step S46). If the operation is not a character deletion operation (NO route of step S46), the process returns to step S42. If the operation is a character deletion operation (YES route of step S46), after obtaining the number of characters deleted by the current operation (step S47), the count value of the number of deleted characters by the counter function is calculated this time. Is counted up by the number of deleted characters (step S48), and the process returns to step S42.

  In this way, the number of input characters and the number of deleted characters counted by the monitoring unit 11 are notified to the estimation unit 22 or 12 as monitoring results, and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 deletes as described in detail in the item (12) above. Based on the number of characters, the character deletion frequency is calculated per predetermined time (unit time / working time) or per predetermined information input amount (business processing unit / predetermined number of input characters) or for each file, and the higher the character deletion frequency, the higher the work efficiency Is estimated to be low.

  Next, a third example of the operation of the monitoring unit 11 in this embodiment (transmission / reception mail number monitoring operation) will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11 (steps S51 to S55). That is, in step S12 of FIG. 7 or step S22 of FIG. 8, the monitoring means 11 in the case of monitoring the number of transmitted / received mails in each user terminal 10 as the operation status [when the above item (15) is adopted as the estimation method]. A monitoring operation procedure according to will be described.

When the monitoring operation is started, first, a counter function provided as a function of the monitoring unit 11 is initialized (step S51). That is, the count value by the counter function is set to 0.
Thereafter, the mailer in the user terminal 10 is monitored to determine whether or not mail transmission addressed outside the company has been performed, and whether or not mail reception from outside the company has been performed (steps S52 and S54). Is performed (YES route of step S52), the count value of the number of transmitted mails by the counter function is incremented by 1 (step S53), and the process returns to step S52.

  On the other hand, when a mail is received from outside the company (NO route in step S52 to YES route in step S54), the count value of the number of received mails by the counter function is incremented by 1 (step S55). The process returns to step S52.

  Thus, the number of transmitted mails and the number of received mails counted by the monitoring unit 11 are notified to the work efficiency estimation unit 309 as monitoring results, and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 is described in detail in item (15) above. In addition, based on the number of transmitted / received mails (the total value of the number of transmitted mails and the number of received mails) and the job contents of the user registered in advance, the work efficiency of the user's work using the user terminal 10 Is estimated.

  Next, a fourth example (separation time monitoring operation) of the operation of the monitoring unit 11 in the present embodiment will be described according to the flowchart (steps S61 to S67) shown in FIG. That is, in step S12 of FIG. 7 or step S22 of FIG. 8, when the user's away time is monitored as the operation status [when the above item (16) is adopted as the estimation method], the monitoring operation by the monitoring unit 11 is performed. The procedure will be described.

  When the monitoring operation is started, first, a timer function provided as a function of the monitoring unit 11 is initialized (step S61). That is, the time measured by the timer function is set to zero. Also, the start time of the monitoring operation (attendance time or activation time of the user terminal 10) is recorded (step S62).

  In this case, as described above, the user can operate the user terminal 10 from a position where the user terminal 10 can be operated depending on whether or not the user authentication IC card is set in the IC card reader attached to the user terminal 10, for example. It is determined whether the user is away from the impossible position (step S63).

  When it is determined that the user's authentication IC card is not set in the IC card reader and the user is away (YES route of step S63), the timer function starts timing (step S64). ), The time measured by the timer function is advanced by the time measured unit time (predetermined control period) (step S65). Then, after the predetermined control period has elapsed, it is determined again whether or not the user is away from the seat (step S66), and the time counting by the timer function is continued while the away state is continued. (From the YES route of step S66, step S55).

  When the user returns and sets the IC card for authentication of the user in the IC card reader attached to the user terminal 10 after starting the time measurement by the timer function, the user is not in the away state in step S66. (NO route), the time counting by the timer function is stopped (step S67), and the process returns to step S63.

  Thus, the time measured by the monitoring means 11, that is, the absence time is notified to the estimation means 22 or 12 as a monitoring result together with the time recorded in step S 62, and the estimation means 22 or 12 As described in detail in 16), the absence rate per predetermined time (unit time / working time) is calculated based on the absence time, and the higher the absence rate, the lower the work efficiency.

  Here, the flowchart in FIG. 12 has been described as a procedure in which the monitoring unit 11 in the user terminal 10 monitors and measures the away time. However, the monitoring unit 11 in the user terminal 10 is not used (or used). 12 without the monitoring means 11 on the user terminal 10 side), based on the signal from the portable device 20 of the user to be managed who uses the user terminal 10, by the away time measuring means 311 on the management device 30 side. It is also possible to measure the away time of the user to be managed in the same procedure of the flowchart shown in FIG. In this case, the absence time measuring means 311 is provided with a timer function.

  As described above, based on the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11 or the measurement result measured by the away time measuring unit 311, the work efficiency estimation unit 309 uses the method of any of the above items (11) to (18). The work efficiency of the work using the user terminal 10 by each user is estimated for each predetermined time or for each predetermined information input amount, and the estimated result is stored in the work efficiency estimation result storage means 314 (storage unit 30b). Accumulated / saved.

Then, based on the estimation results accumulated and stored in the work efficiency estimation result storage unit 314, the job type aptitude diagnosis management operation described above is executed by the management unit 307. Efficiency management is performed. At this time, in the management unit 307, for example, when the user's work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 is lower than a predetermined value, the living body obtained from the user's biological signal authenticated by the authentication unit 306. When the data value is compared with the average biometric data value corresponding to the management target user stored in advance in the biometric data value storage unit 308, and the difference between these biometric data values is greater than a predetermined value, the user's The reason why the work efficiency is lower than the predetermined value is determined to be poor physical condition, and the fact is notified to the user or the administrator's terminal using the communication function.

  The management unit 307 evaluates and manages the management target user based on the work efficiency estimated by the work efficiency estimation unit 309. For example, the work efficiency estimation results obtained by the work efficiency estimation means 309 are accumulated and stored for each user in the work efficiency estimation result storage means 314 for every predetermined time or for the daily work hours. Means 307 evaluates the user's work efficiency on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, reflects it in the user's assessment, notifies the user of the work efficiency, or uses it when the work efficiency is low. It is possible to notify the worker of an instruction to improve the work efficiency.

[3] Effects of the Embodiment As described above, according to the management system 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the physiological operation of the user is shown during the period in which the user wears and carries the mobile device 20. A biological signal (for example, at least one of electrocardiogram, pulse wave, heart sound, blink, brain wave, breathing sound, and body temperature) is detected by the biological signal detection means 21, and the biological signal is relayed by the relay device 40 and the LAN 50. Is transmitted to the management apparatus 30 via At this time, the relay device identification code is given to the biological signal in the relay device 40. In the management device 30, the relay device 40 is specified based on the relay device identification code by the user position specifying means 302, and the management target area where the relay device 40 is installed is the location of the mobile device 20, that is, the user. It is specified as a position or passing position (attendance / leaving). Further, in the management apparatus 30, feature information is extracted from the biological signal by the feature information extraction unit 304, and the feature information and the registered feature information of the user to be managed are compared by the matching unit 305, and the feature information matches. In this case, the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the portable device 20 is the management target user associated with the registered feature information. The authenticated user is managed by the management unit 307 based on the biological signal and the position specifying result.

  Therefore, without providing a plurality of types of sensors corresponding to the number of types of management, as a sensor, only the biological signal detection means 21 is provided in the portable device 20, and the user location can be specified and the user can be authenticated. The management means 307 can perform various managements such as physical condition management / entrance / exit management / location management / appropriate work management / job type aptitude diagnosis management / work efficiency management based on biological signals and position identification results. That is, various types of management can be realized with a simple and inexpensive configuration without complicating the system configuration.

  At this time, when transmitting the biological signal from the portable device 20, the user identification code of the user carrying the portable device 20 is given to the biological signal, and the management device 30 uses the user identification code as the user identification code. By comparing the registered feature information associated with the feature information extracted from the biological signal with the matching unit 305 and performing matching, it is possible to perform one-to-one matching on the feature information, which is required for matching and authentication. Processing time can be greatly reduced.

Moreover, according to this embodiment, the following effects are obtained for each type of management.
[i] Entrance / exit management (attendance management)
The management device 30 (management means 307) can use the portable device 20 and the relay device 40 to specify the location of the management target user. It is not necessary for a member or the like to carry a card for entry / exit management, and entry / exit management of a user to be managed can be performed with a simple and inexpensive configuration.

[ii] Physical Condition Management The management apparatus 30 (management means 307) performs physical condition management of the authenticated user based on the biological signal received from the portable device 20. At this time, the biometric data value obtained from the biometric signal of the authenticated user is compared with the average biometric data value corresponding to the management target user stored in advance, and the difference between these biometric data values is a predetermined value. If it is larger than that, it is possible to perform physical condition management such as determining that the user is in poor physical condition and notifying the user or the manager to that effect. As a result, the user can make a self-determination according to the notification, and the administrator can determine whether the user should continue his / her work according to the notification. It is possible to conduct business evaluations that take into account physical condition.

[iii] Aptitude work management The management device 30 (management means 307) determines an appropriate work according to the physical condition of the user to be managed based on the biological signal received from the portable device 20, and assigns the appropriate work to the user and Appropriate work management, such as notifying the administrator, can be performed. As a result, the user can be caused to execute an optimum job according to the current state of the biological signal of the user by self-judgment or an administrator instruction. For example, in the case where an electroencephalogram is detected as a biological signal, when an electroencephalogram state suitable for a creative task such as planning / planning is detected, the creative task can be performed. Therefore, it is possible to always cause the user to perform a task according to the state of the user's biological signal, and the task efficiency can be greatly improved.

[iv] Job Type Appropriate Diagnosis Management The management device 30 (management unit 307) diagnoses job type suitability of the user to be managed by adding the estimation result by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 to the biological signal and the user location determination result.・ Manage. In this case, a biological signal for the user to be managed during work is stored, and the suitability of the user to be managed is diagnosed based on the estimation result by the work efficiency estimating means 309 and the stored biological signal. . Thus, it becomes possible to diagnose the job type aptitude of the management target user by using the system 1 having the simple and inexpensive configuration as described above.

[v] Work efficiency management The management device 30 (management means 307) manages the work efficiency of the management target user by adding the estimation result of the work efficiency estimation means 309 to the biological signal and the user location determination result. . At this time, when the work efficiency of the user estimated by the work efficiency estimation unit 309 is lower than a predetermined value, the biometric data value obtained from the authenticated user's biosignal and the management target user stored in advance When the difference between these biometric data values is greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that the cause of the user's work efficiency being lower than the predetermined value is poor physical condition. It is possible to evaluate and manage each employee more accurately. In addition, by giving instructions such as notifying the user and resting in case of poor physical condition, each employee can be safely and efficiently managed. As described above, it is possible to manage the work efficiency of the management target user by using the system 1 having the simple and inexpensive configuration as described above.

By the way, in a job category in which an information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) is operated by inputting information by operating a keyboard, the product obtained by the job is, for example, input of a program, a business document, and various data. Such as results. The work efficiency (productivity) of the work for obtaining such a deliverable can be estimated by estimating from the information input situation by keyboard operation. If there are many typographical errors during the work, it can be estimated that the work efficiency (productivity) is low. For example, a typo in information input by keyboard operation can be detected by operating the backspace key or delete key after the user operates the character input key or character conversion key, and operating the backspace key or delete key. It can be detected as an operation to cancel the operation result or characters after character conversion.

  Therefore, the monitoring unit 11 monitors the operation of the backspace key and / or the delete key as the information input status (operation status) by the keyboard operation, and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 determines the predetermined time (based on the monitoring result). Calculate the backspace key / delete key operation frequency per unit time / working time or per predetermined information input amount (business processing unit / predetermined number of input characters / predetermined number of key operations) or for each file, and work based on the operation frequency By estimating the efficiency, the management unit 307 operates the keyboard on the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) to input information, thereby improving the work efficiency of the employee (user) of the job type performing the job. It is possible to accurately grasp the standard (estimated value) and accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  Similarly, the number of characters deleted after character input is monitored by the monitoring unit 11 as the information input status (operation status) by keyboard operation, and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 determines a predetermined time (unit time) based on the monitoring result. By calculating the character deletion frequency per unit time / working time) or per predetermined information input amount (business processing unit / predetermined number of input characters / predetermined number of key operations) or for each file, and estimating work efficiency based on the character deletion frequency The management means 307 operates the keyboard for the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) to input information, thereby obtaining a rough estimate (estimated value) of the work efficiency of the employee (user) who performs the job. It is possible to accurately grasp and accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  Furthermore, even if the backspace key / delete key operation frequency and character deletion frequency are low, if there are many spelling errors or typographical errors in the deliverables (eg, programs, business documents, various data input results, etc.) It cannot be said that efficiency (productivity) is high. Therefore, the document, which is a product obtained as an information input result by the user's keyboard operation, is proofread, and the proofreading result is also the result of monitoring the operation status of the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) by the user. In addition to the estimation of work efficiency, the management device 307 allows employees (users) to perform work by operating the keyboard and inputting information to the information processing device (user terminal 10). It is possible to accurately grasp the work efficiency standard (estimated value) and to accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  In this case, the calibration result is notified to the user (or the administrator), and the backspace key and / or the deletion key as described above during the correction operation performed by the user (or the administrator) while referring to the calibration result. By calculating the user's operation frequency and character deletion frequency and estimating the user's own work efficiency, it is possible to reliably grasp and correct typographical errors and spelling errors, and to improve the work efficiency standard (estimated value). It becomes possible to estimate accurately.

  Further, in a job category that performs business by operating the information processing device (user terminal 10), the number of emails sent and received by the information processing device (user terminal 10) and the access time to an external site (to the Internet bulletin board) The number of times of writing and the amount of written data, the number of times of uploading to external sites and the amount of data, etc.) and the creation speed / creation time of documents (deliverables) are related to the work efficiency of the work to obtain the deliverables associated with the work As described above, the monitoring unit 11 monitors the number of emails sent and received, the access time to the external site, the creation speed / creation time, etc., and the work efficiency estimation unit 309 sends and receives the job contents and By estimating the work efficiency based on the number of emails, access time, creation speed / creation time, etc., the management means 307 By operating the device (user terminal 10), it is possible to grasp the work efficiency of employees (users) of the occupations performing the work in an accurate guideline (estimated value) and accurately evaluate and manage each employee It becomes possible to do.

  Furthermore, in a job category that performs business by operating the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10), at least the user must be present at the installation location (desk) of the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10). In this case, since the user is not performing business, as described above, the monitoring unit 11 or the mobile device 20, the relay device 40, the user position specifying unit 302, and the away time measuring unit 311 are used. The person who is away from the position where the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) can be operated to the position where the information processing apparatus (user terminal 10) cannot be operated is monitored and measured, and the work efficiency estimation means 309 is based on the absence time. The administrator, etc., can calculate the absence rate per predetermined time (unit time / working time / business hours) and estimate the work efficiency lower as the absence rate is higher. end By operating 10), it is possible to accurately grasp the standard (estimated value) of the work efficiency of employees (users) who perform work, and to accurately evaluate and manage each employee. Become.

  At this time, the portable device used for detection of a biological signal without providing a sensor or interface dedicated to the absence time monitoring by measuring the away time based on the identification result by the user position identification unit 302. 20, the system 1 having a simple and inexpensive configuration as described above can accurately measure the absence time of a user to be managed, and more accurately evaluate and manage each employee.

  Further, as described in item (18) above, the management unit 307 is configured to monitor two or more types of operation statuses and estimate the work efficiency by combining the monitoring results of these operation statuses. Evaluate and manage each employee by more accurately and comprehensively grasping the standard (estimated value) of work efficiency of employees (users) who perform work by operating the user terminal 10) Can be performed more accurately and comprehensively.

  The receiving unit 301 receives the biological signal and position information from the portable device 20 ′ via each relay device 40 ′, and also transmits the monitoring result by the monitoring unit 11 transmitted (notified) from each user terminal 10. Also fulfills the function of receiving via the LAN 50.

  The user position specifying unit 302 ′ is specified based on the position signal received by the receiving unit 301 as the location or passing position of the user carrying the mobile device 20 ′.

  At this time, the user position specifying means 302 'specifies and outputs the user position information by searching the table storage means 312 described above. In other words, the table storage unit 312 is searched based on the position signal from the portable device 20 ′, the position information associated with the position signal is read from the table storage unit 312 (storage unit 30b), and the position determination result of the user is obtained. The user identification code and the specific time (or reception time) are output and notified to the management means 307, and the position specifying result is associated with the user (user identification code) and the specific time. It is stored in the position specifying result storage means 313.

  Whether the user has passed through the entrance / exit area in the direction of entering the office (whether he / she has gone to work) or has passed through the entrance / exit area in the direction of going out of the office (whether he / she left the office) is, for example, 2 across the door of the entrance / exit area. One relay device 40 ′ (A), 40 ′ (B) is installed as a set, and the biological signal and utilization from the portable device 20 ′ are used by each of these relay devices 40 ′ (A), 40 ′ (B). It is possible to identify by relaying the person identification code to the management device 30.

Alternatively, it is possible to identify whether the employee has gone to work or not by recording the locus of the position signal generated by the position signal generating means 24 in the entrance / exit area.
[4-5] Operation of the second embodiment:
Hereinafter, the operation of the second embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.

  In addition to what was demonstrated with the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, as operation | movement of portable apparatus 20 'in the management system 1 of 2nd embodiment, it produces | generates by the position signal production | generation means 24 with a biosignal and a user identification code in step S104. The position signal thus transmitted is transmitted to the management apparatus 30 via the relay apparatus 40 ′.

  The biological signal and the position signal accompanied by the user identification code received by the receiving unit 42 of the relay apparatus 40 ′ are transmitted to the management apparatus 30 via the LAN 50 by the transmitting unit 43.

  The operation of the management apparatus of the second embodiment is the same as that already described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, but instead of specifying the position by the relay apparatus identification code in step S308, the position of the position by the portable apparatus 20 ′ is determined. Identification is made. That is, when the authentication unit 306 authenticates that the user carrying the portable device 20 ′ is a management target user associated with the registered feature information, the position signal received by the reception unit 301 is received. Based on the above, the user position specifying means 302 ′ specifies the location or passing position of the user carrying the portable device 20 ′. About the operation | movement of another part, the same operation | movement as what was shown in FIGS. 3-12 is performed.

[4-6] Effects of the second embodiment:
And according to this 2nd embodiment, in addition to the effect acquired by the above 1st embodiment, it is also possible to obtain what kind of effect.

That is, in the second embodiment, even when the relay device 40 ′ is a simple relay antenna, the position of the user 5 can be surely grasped.
For example, the position of the user 5 can be specified even when a low-priced or simple relay device 40 ′ not provided with a relay device identification code is used.

Alternatively, the position of the user 5 can be specified even when a relay device 40 ′ having a different relay device identification code from a different manufacturer is added due to the addition of a system.
In addition, due to the characteristics of radio waves, office structure, and the like, even when the mobile device 20 ′ communicates with the remote relay device 40 ′ instead of the nearest relay device 40 ′, the accurate position of the user 5 can be determined. It becomes possible to grasp.

  For example, when the timing of switching to the nearest relay device 40 ′ is delayed due to the characteristics of the handover, or the nearest relay device 40 ′ is in the shadow of something, a remote relay device 40 ′ can be seen There is no need to worry about specifying the wrong position when the user is in a different position.

[4-7] Other operations of the second embodiment:
In addition, the position of the relay device 40 based on the relay device identification code of the relay device 40 of the first embodiment described above and the position signal generated by the position signal generation means 24 shown here can be used in combination.

  For example, a fine position signal generated by the position signal generating means 24 is used in a place where the interval between the relay apparatus 40 or the relay apparatus 40 'is wide, and the position signal generating means cannot be received because radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received. When the position signal cannot be generated at 24, the position of the relay device 40 based on the relay device identification code is used, so that a reliable operation can be realized.

  In addition, when the position of the relay device 40 based on the relay device identification code and the position signal generated by the position signal generating means 24 are used in combination, an error or an abnormality has occurred if both are greatly different. As described above, the management device 30 can execute a predetermined abnormality process.
