WORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE, WORK MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18394079 titled 'WORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE, WORK MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a work management device that calculates working hours including non-operation periods of a terminal based on the operation history of the terminal.
- Acquisition unit acquires login information and operation history of a terminal.
- Specifying unit identifies non-operation periods from the operation history.
- Calculation unit calculates working hours considering the length of non-operation periods.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where tracking and managing employee work hours is essential, such as:
- Human resources
- Project management
- Remote work monitoring
Problems Solved
The device addresses the following issues:
- Inaccurate tracking of employee work hours
- Difficulty in monitoring remote employees
- Lack of visibility into non-operation periods affecting productivity
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in tracking work hours
- Enhanced productivity through monitoring non-operation periods
- Streamlined work management processes
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially applied in sectors such as:
- Time tracking software
- Employee monitoring tools
- Workforce management systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional time tracking systems that do not consider non-operation periods in calculating work hours.
