Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiments.
FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a time recording apparatus according to the present invention. The time recording apparatus 1 includes an IC card 2 and an IC card reader / writer 3. In addition, although not shown in the figure, there is also an apparatus designating means for designating in advance a reader / writer 3 capable of reading and writing information with respect to the IC card 2.
[0011]
One embodiment of the IC card 2 is shown in FIG. The IC card 2 is a non-contact type IC card, and records a personal information such as an owner ID and an owner's name that can uniquely identify the owner, and information of a reader / writer used for recording time 4 and software of information concealment means 5 for controlling the information recorded by the IC card 2 to be read only by a designated reader / writer in the IC unit 6, and externally via the antenna unit 7. Exchange information.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 3, the reader / writer 3 includes an authentication unit 8 used for confirming that the operator is the owner of the IC card 2, and a time acquisition unit such as a radio clock capable of acquiring an accurate time from the outside. 12 and a recording means 13 for writing information on the IC card 2 and time and an identifier of the reader / writer.
[0013]
The reader / writer 3 is a device that can read and write the IC card 2, and is usually connected to one or more devices that control the reader / writer, such as a PC, and the reader / writer 3 can be uniquely identified inside each device. Holds an identifier.
[0014]
The authentication unit 8 includes a scanner 9 for recognizing a part of the operator's body such as a fingerprint or a retina as a pattern, and a collation unit 11 that collates a pattern read by the scanner 9 with previously registered pattern information 10. have.
[0015]
Next, the operation of the time recording apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. One or a plurality of identifiers of reader / writers that can read information of the IC card 2 in advance at any time point when the IC card 2 is issued or at any time point within the validity period of the IC card 2 by the device designating means. Recorded in the recording unit 4 of the IC card 2.
[0016]
When the operator who wants to record the time reads the IC card 2 owned by the operator into the reader / writer 3, the IC card 2 receives the identifier of the reader / writer 3 via the antenna unit 7 and records it in advance. Compare with the reader / writer identifier.
[0017]
If the identifier received from the reader / writer 3 and the recorded identifier do not match, the IC card 2 prohibits the reader / writer 3 from reading the information of the IC card 2 by the information concealing means 5.
[0018]
When the identifier received from the reader / writer 3 matches the recorded identifier, the card reader 3 reads the personal information from the recording unit 4 of the IC card 2 via the antenna unit 7.
[0019]
After the reader / writer 3 reads the personal information, the operator causes the scanner 9 of the authentication unit 8 to recognize a part of the operator's body such as a fingerprint or retina as a pattern.
