ABSTRACT:
A remote hand-held data collection device associates time with charge accounts at the instant when and the place where work is performed. The device obtains a set of descriptive codes that describe a work assignment and accrues time during which the work assignment is performed. A new work assignment may be quickly described by updating only those descriptive codes that differ from the previously entered set. The device is capable of checking the validity of the descriptive codes by comparing them to a number of valid input codes stored in a memory. The work-related records are stored in a database that is eventually uploaded to a central compiling computer for formatting and processing. An edit feature allows the user to modify erroneous data in the database, and a comment feature allows the user to enter alphanumeric messages into the database.
