Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a working time measurement device, a working time calculation device,

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system capable of measuring and calculating accurate working hours.

In industries providing legal services, the number is determined on the basis of the working hours of the practically employed workers in each case. For example, if a lawyer costs 300,000 won per hour and a total of 50 hours is spent on the case, the number of cases will be 15 million won. In this case, it is important to know exactly what business hours the lawyer has used for the case. For example, the total amount of fees varies depending on whether 30 hours have been spent on the same incident or 40 hours have been spent. Therefore, it is important for an attorney to accurately measure the amount of time spent on the case, as it ensures customer confidence in costs and at the same time changes the number.

There are various prior arts that can measure business hours through electronic devices, but it is basically calculated based on the time inputted by the worker himself. Therefore, there may arise a problem of trust in whether the worker correctly entered the actual business hours or not.

4 is a configuration diagram of a working time computing system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the work time calculation system according to the specification may include a work time measurement apparatus 100 and a work time calculation apparatus 300 according to the present specification.

Hereinafter, the overall operation of the working time calculating system will be described while explaining the mutual operation process of the working time measuring device 100 and the working time calculating device 300 according to the present invention.

5 is a functional reference diagram of a working time measurement system according to the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 5, a user wears a working time measuring instrument 100 according to the present invention. For convenience of understanding, the thimble 200 shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to an embodiment combined therewith. Documents are pre-printed with dot codes to distinguish each task. To this end, the working time calculating device 300 according to the present invention may further include a dot code generating module (not shown) for generating a dot code for identifying different tasks. In this case, the memory 320 may store job identification information corresponding to each dot code. The working time calculating device 300 can output each dot code to a document each time the job related document is outputted through the printer. In some embodiments, even if two or more documents are output on the same job, the same dot code may be output to different documents. The dot code generation module according to another embodiment can generate a dot code by limiting to a specific position of a document. For example, a dot code may be generated and printed only on the lower part of the area where the content is printed in the document.

The OID sensor 130 included in the duty measuring device 100 may sense the dot code printed on the document while the user processes the job through the document. At this time, the processor 140 included in the working time measuring device 100 stores the reception time when the dot code is sensed together. Therefore, the dot code is sequentially stored in the memory 110 included in the working time measuring device 100 according to the reception time. The wireless communication module 120 included in the working time measuring device 100 can transmit the dot code information and the reception time information sequentially stored in the memory 110.

The transmitted dot code information and reception time information may be received by the wireless communication module 310 of the working time computing device 300 according to the present invention. Since the dot code information and the reception time information are generated repeatedly while the user processes the corresponding job, the processor 330 can calculate the working time based on the plurality of dot code information and the reception time information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the processor 330 determines the interval between the reception time of n (1 or more natural number) and the reception time of the (n + 1) th reception time at the sequentially received reception time, Can be calculated as the working hours of the user. That is, it can be judged that the work corresponding to the received dot code is being executed until the next dot code is received from the time when the previous dot code is received. Accordingly, the time interval at which the dot code is received can be calculated as the working time of the corresponding job.

In this case, the processor 330 can calculate the total working time by summing the calculated working hours for each dot code that is the same as the n-th dot code.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the processor 330 may calculate the interval between the first receiving time of the same continuous dot code and the last receiving time as the working time of the business corresponding to the same continuous dot code. In general, users will handle a single task with a single dot code, rather than simultaneously processing tasks with different dot codes. In this case, the same dot code will be continuously sensed while the user touches the document. Therefore, the interval between the first receiving time of the same dot code and the last receiving time can be determined as the working time of the corresponding job.

On the other hand, according to the above embodiment, when the work is performed in the afternoon after eating and resting during the lunch time after starting work in the morning, it can be calculated that the work is processed from the morning to the afternoon without rest. You need to prevent these errors.

First, the processor 330 may calculate each time interval. Specifically, the processor 330 calculates the interval between the n-th reception time and the (n + 1) -th reception time as k-th, the interval between the (n + 1) -th reception time and the It can be calculated as +1 hour. Thereafter, the processor 330 may substitute a plurality of time interval values into the following equations.

f (k) = a * N (k + 1) + (1-a) * N (k)

Here, 0 < a < 1, and a value can be set variously. N (k) represents the interval between the n-th reception time and the (n + 1) -th reception time. If the value of f (k) is calculated through the above equation, a value that can determine the tendency of the working time interval can be derived. The processor 330 determines that the work is not performed for the job when the value of f (k) is equal to or greater than a preset reference value, and if the value of f (k) Can be calculated as working hours.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. You will understand. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
