WORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE, WORK MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127190 titled 'WORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE, WORK MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a work management device that calculates working hours by including non-operation periods of a terminal.
- Acquisition unit acquires information indicating login to a system using a first terminal and operation history of the first terminal.
- Specifying unit specifies a non-operation period of a terminal from the operation history of the first terminal.
- Calculation unit calculates working hours including the non-operation period of the terminal based on the length of the non-operation period.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where tracking and managing employee work hours is essential, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and customer service.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient tracking of employee work hours, including non-operation periods, leading to accurate payroll calculations. 2. Improved productivity monitoring by identifying idle times and optimizing work schedules accordingly.
Benefits
1. Streamlined work hour calculations leading to cost savings for businesses. 2. Enhanced employee productivity through better time management. 3. Automated tracking reduces manual errors in recording work hours.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing work schedules in manufacturing plants for increased efficiency and reduced downtime.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be time tracking software used in various industries to monitor employee work hours and productivity.
Unanswered Questions
