Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a work management device including an acquisition unit that acquires information indicating login to a system using a first terminal and an operation history of the first terminal occurring after login to the system, a specifying unit that specifies a non-operation period of a terminal from the operation history of the first terminal, and a calculation unit that calculates working hours including the non-operation period of the terminal according to a length of the non-operation period of the terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A work management device comprising: a memory storing instructions; and a processor connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to: acquire information indicating login to a system using a first terminal and an operation history of the first terminal occurring after login to the system; specify a non-operation period of a terminal from the operation history of the first terminal; collate captured images of a worker with an image for identifying the worker; detect, by analyzing the captured images of the identified worker, undressing time at which the worker has removed clothes worn during work and dressing time at which the worker has worn the clothes worn during work; obtain first position information of the worker based on a position of a monitoring camera that has captured at least one of the captured images; obtain second position information of the worker based on position information transmitted by a beacon terminal associated with the worker; identify a time period in which the worker is outside of a specified area based on the first position information and the second position information; and calculate working hours including the non-operation period of the terminal according to a length of the non-operation period of the terminal, and excluding the time period in which the worker is outside of the specified area. 2 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to include a non-operation period of the terminal that is less than a predetermined length in the working hours. 3 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to calculate the working hours based on a login time to the system using the first terminal and the operation history of the first terminal. 4 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to specify a period in which the operation history of the first terminal after login to the system is not obtained as the non-operation period of the terminal. 5 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to acquire information indicating login to the system using a second terminal and an operation history of the second terminal after login to the system, and specify a non-operation period of the terminal based on the operation history of the first terminal and the operation history of the second terminal. 6 . The work management device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to specify, in a case where the operation history of the second terminal is acquired in a non-operation period from a first time to a second time specified based on the operation history of the first terminal, a period from the first time to a third time at which the operation history of the second terminal is acquired as the non-operation period of the terminal. 7 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to specify a period during which an operation satisfying a predetermined operation condition indicated by the operation history of the first terminal is performed as the non-operation period of the terminal. 8 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to include an electronic medical record system used by a medical worker. 9 . The work management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to calculate the working hours by using an estimation model by machine learning, determine whether a difference between the working hours and scheduled working hours satisfies a warning standard, and output, when the difference satisfies the warning standard, a warning used for decision making regarding the working hours. 10 . A work management method executed by an information processing device, the work management method comprising: acquiring information indicating login to a system using a first terminal and an operation history of the first terminal occurring after login to the system; specifying a non-operation period of a terminal from the operation history of the first terminal; collating captured images of a worker with an image for identifying the worker; detecting, by analyzing the captured images of the identified worker, undressing time at which the worker has removed clothes worn during work and dressing time at which the worker has worn the clothes worn during work; obtaining first position information of the worker based on a position of a monitoring camera that has captured at least one of the captured images; obtaining second position information of the worker based on position information transmitted by a beacon terminal associated with the worker; identifying a time period in which the worker is outside of a specified area based on the first position information and the second position information; and calculating working hours including the non-operation period of the terminal according to a length of the non-operation period of the terminal, and excluding the time period in which the worker is outside of the specified area. 11 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute: an acquisition process of acquiring information indicating login to a system using a first terminal and an operation history of the first terminal occurring after login to the system; a specifying process of specifying a non-operation period of a terminal from the operation history of the first terminal; a collation process of collating captured images of a worker with an image for identifying the worker; a detection process of detecting, by analyzing the captured images of the identified worker, undressing time at which the worker has removed clothes worn during work and dressing time at which the worker has worn the clothes worn during work; a first obtaining process of obtaining first position information of the worker based on a position of a monitoring camera that has captured at least one of the captured images; a second obtaining process of obtaining second position information of the worker based on position information transmitted by a beacon terminal associated with the worker; an identification process of identifying a time period in which the worker is outside of a specified area based on the first position information and the second position information; and a calculation process of calculating working hours including the non-operation period of the terminal according to a length of the non-operation period of the terminal, and excluding the time period in which the worker is outside of the specified area.
