Abstract

Recently, interesting in flexible working has been increased, and some central government and large companies are conducting flexible working. With the conducting of flexible working, workers are able to get a convenience but the cost of managing is increased. In this paper, we suggest a method of reducing the cost and managing efficiently. Our study determines the position of the workers using indoor localization techniques through the Wi-Fi fingerprint and smartphone, and records the office hours. The previous time and attendance systems have to install attendance recording device(e.g. Fingerprint Attendance System, RFID Card Attendance System) and are needed to manipulate manually. Our system doesn't need to install extra devices, and also doesn't need to manipulate manually. Our system automatically records the office hours. Also most of previous time and attendance systems have another weakness. They only record data when workers start and stop work. But our system exactly records office hours for each workplaces. In this paper, We introduce an effective time and attendance system in variety flexible working. Our experiments shows that our system workers' detected office hours accurately. The accuracy of our time and attendance system was 98.7%.

최근 유연근무제에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있고, 일부 중앙부처와 대기업 등에서 유연근무제를 시행하고 있다. 유연근무제의 도입으로 근무자는 편의를 얻을 수 있게 되었으나, 관리자가 근무자의 근무시간을 관리하는 비용이 증가하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 근무자의 근무시간을 관리하는 비용을 줄이고 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 스마트폰과 Wi-Fi 지문을 통한 실내 위치 추적 기법을 이용하여 근무자의 위치를 정확히 파악하고, 근무자가 지정된 근무지에 위치하고 있는 시간을 근무시간으로 기록한다. 기존의 근태관리 시스템은 대부분 출퇴근 기록 장치가 필요하며, 근무자의 출퇴근 처리를 통해 출퇴근 시간을 기록한다. 본 시스템은 출퇴근 기록 장치가 필요 없고 근무자가 출퇴근을 처리할 필요 없이 자동으로 근무시간을 기록한다. 그리고 기존의 근태관리 시스템은 출퇴근 시간만 기록하였지만 본 시스템은 출퇴근 시간과 근무자가 지정된 근무지에서 근무한 시간을 기록한다. 본 시스템이 기록한 근무자의 근무시간을 이용하여 근무자의 다양한 근무형태에 따라 효율적인 근태관리를 할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 본 시스템이 근무자의 근무시간을 파악하여 평균 98.7%의 정확성을 보여주었다.
