And a project tray 460 may be included. Here, the task tracking system may generate a detailed folder in each storage tray according to a preset reference or a user setting. For example, a detailed folder for my job, reference job, and message may be generated in the inbox 420. Each project or task may be automatically classified and stored in the detail folder. In addition, when the user selects my job in the inbox 420 from the message communication tool 400 or 500, the project or task related to the selected my job may be displayed in the list areas 470 and 510.

  The task tracking system may display the projects associated with the account and the tasks associated with the project in a list area 470, 510 of the message communication tool 400, 500. Here, the tasks displayed in the list areas 470 and 510 may include a caller, a task title, status information, importance, a person in charge of the task, a reference person, and the like.

  The task tracking system may classify tasks into the list areas 470 and 510 of the message communication tools 400 and 500 by classifying them into at least one of a progress state, a standby state, and a completion state. In addition, the task tracking system may display a plurality of members participating in the task for each task displayed in the list areas 470 and 510 of the message communication tool 400 and 500, and displayed for the task. You may display the progress state with respect to the task of each of several members. For example, you may classify by displaying the progress state with respect to each of several members who participate in a task so that it may differ.

  Further, the task tracking system may classify the members according to a preset level. For example, the task tracking system may divide members into guests and general. The task tracking system is set so that guests who are guests cannot view the tasks displayed in the list areas 470 and 510, but can only view tasks associated with projects in which the member who is a guest is participating. May be. Here, the task tracking system may provide an interface that allows a member authorized to view the task to modify the content of the task. Further, the task tracking system may give the member the authority to view only some of the tasks among the plurality of tasks, or may be able to modify only the tasks that can be viewed.

  In the task tracking system, when at least one of the projects or tasks is selected from the list areas 470 and 510 of the message communication tools 400 and 500, the contents of the tasks are displayed in the body areas 480 and 520 displaying the tasks. May be provided. Here, the task tracking system may grant the authority to see the contents related to the project. For example, the task tracking system may authorize only invitees invited to a project to see the project and tasks associated with the project. The task tracking system may also set the project and tasks associated with the project so that all staff members or only tasks created by them can be viewed. Furthermore, when a project is created and only oneself is specified as a member, it can be utilized for own business management.

  In addition, the task tracking system may grant a combination of the authority to view the content of the project and the task associated with the project. For example, when requesting a specific project, the task tracking system may set and grant the authority so that only the team and creator related to the specific project can view. Here, the task tracking system may provide a right to modify a task content by regarding a person who can see the task as a person associated with the project.

A task layer may be provided by selecting a business interface or a message interface.

  FIG. 11 illustrates an example of a task layer 1110, 1120 for explaining a method for generating a task or a task associated with a project by providing a task layer 1110, 1120 in a task tracking system. . The task layers 1110 and 1120 are not limited to the form provided in FIG. 11, and may be provided in various forms. For example, the task layers 1110 and 1120 may include a task layer 1110 for inputting project information associated with a project and a message layer 1120 for inputting task information of a task associated with the project.

  The task tracking system may provide at the task layer 1110, 1120 a template that specifies at least one of a body, a reference, a contact, a title, and a date associated with the project or task. More specifically, the task tracking system can use open source for the task layers 1110 and 1120 to specify the creation format of the task layers 1110 and 1120, and input at least one of mathematical expressions and images related to the project or task. An interface configured as described above may be provided. Here, the task tracking system can simplify the contents by inserting check boxes in the input areas for inputting the contents in the task layers 1110 and 1120 and checking the contents to be input by the user using the check boxes. Can also be entered.

  The user may specify a template by the task layers 1110 and 1120. For example, the user may specify a template for a part that is frequently used in the task layers 1110 and 1120. Here, the task tracking system may provide that today's date is automatically specified by inputting a preset code without directly inputting the date. For example, if the user inputs “[$]” to the task layers 1110 and 1120, today's date may be automatically generated and displayed.

  The task tracking system may generate a project or task by inputting at least one of a text, a reference person, a person in charge, a title, and a date associated with the project or task. Here, the task tracking system may be provided to assign a plurality of referees and persons to the project or task. For example, the task tracking system provides the task layer 1110 with an interface (for example, an input window) for inputting a title of a project, a person in charge, a reference person, a completion date that is a project deadline, and contents of the text. May be. Similarly, the task tracking system may provide the message layer 1120 with an interface (eg, an input window) for inputting information associated with the task. For example, the user may generate messages, emails, documents, etc. associated with the project via message layer 1120. In addition, the task tracking system may provide an interface that can use a file attachment function that can attach a file, a subordinate business generation function, a deletion function, and the like to the task layers 1110 and 1120.

  The task tracking system may also convert a text document associated with a project or task into a specific document by structuring it in a preset format and adjusting its placement. For example, the task tracking system may provide a function of converting an email composed of a text document into a presentation material or a conference material. The task tracking system may structure the document and transform it so that the text placement is adjusted to fit a particular document format.

  The task tracking system may also be implemented such that the schedule is automatically reflected in the calendar when accepting a project or task schedule. Further, the task tracking system may manage schedule information associated with the project or task.

  As described above, the task tracking system recognizes a message including project information and task information associated with a project as a task based on information input by a user to each interface, and tracks the recognized task to thereby generate a message. It becomes possible to register and display in the communication tool.

  Here, the project or task created by the user himself / herself may be displayed on the message communication tool, or may be displayed on the message communication tool by receiving a project or task transmitted from another user other than the user. . For example, let's explain how the message communication tool operates from the viewpoint of the second user. Assume that the first user transmits a message including a project or a task associated with the project to the second user using the task layer in the message communication tool. The task tracking system receives a message transmitted from the first user. The task tracking system determines that the message sent from the first user is a project or task associated with the project that the second user is in progress. The task tracking system recognizes a message sent from the first user as a task by determining that the second user is a project or task in progress, and tracks the task based on the recognized task status. By classifying, it will be displayed on the message communication tool. Alternatively, the second user recognizes the message including the project information generated by using the task layer in the message communication tool and the completion date information of the task associated with the project as a task, and stores it in the second user message communication tool. May be displayed.

  6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining a method of arranging tasks in the task tracking system according to an embodiment.

The task tracking system may classify and display the tasks in the list areas 470 and 510 of the message communication tool based on the progress of the task. The task tracking system may provide an interface 650 for sorting by date received, completed date, or updated date for tasks displayed in the list area 470, 510 of the message communication tool. The task tracking system may arrange and display the date based on the date the task was received, the date completed, or the date updated. For example, referring to FIG. 6, a list of tasks stored in the inbox may be arranged in the list area in the order of close to the completion date based on the completion date of the task. Referring to FIG. 7, a list of tasks may be displayed in the list area in the latest order based on the updated date, as indicated by reference numeral 710 in FIG. Here, each task displayed in the list area may be displayed by reflecting the state of a person in charge or a reference who is participating in the project. The state of the person in charge or the reference person may mean a progress state of the task of the person in charge or the reference person with respect to the task associated with the project or the project.
