Description

How to dynamically create collaborative records using social platform

The present invention relates to a method and program for dynamically generating a collaborative record for automatically generating a record such as a report when a plurality of users perform a collaborative task using a social platform.

With the development of SNS (Social Netwock Service), many people have actively developed social activities online, and as such SNS is open to developers, it has developed into a social platform that enjoys not only SNS services but also various cultures such as contents, knowledge, and games. It came to the following.

Application of social platform is spreading to various fields such as learning and work. Specifically, group learning or collaboration is carried out by COP (COmmunitu of Practice) such as learning groups such as group studies, project teams, and small groups within the company. ought.

However, the group learning and collaboration activities using the conventional social platform are limited to using cloud-based document work tools such as messenger, Evernote, and Google Note, which have enhanced collaborative functions such as slack and JANDI.

For example, if several people discuss and draw a final conclusion, write a report, do an action run, or do a project, products like messenger-based Slack are just messengers. In the case of the documentation tool, there is no discussion left, only the final document.

The present invention summarizes and records the process of decision making or logic in a group learning process or a collaboration process using a group, and provides a method of automatically generating a collaboration record by appropriately arranging the results by various tools. It is for.

In order to achieve the above object, the cooperative recording dynamic generation room using a social platform according to an embodiment of the present invention, generating a chat room corresponding to the topic of collaboration; Providing a called collaboration tool when a collaboration tool for the collaboration topic is called; Determining a location on a report corresponding to the point in time at which the collaboration tool was called during a conversation in the chat room; And generating a report by referring to the contents of the user's conversation in the chat room, and inserting a result derived by the collaboration tool in the determined location.

The method for dynamically generating a collaborative record using the social platform may further include determining a type of the report using metadata related to the collaborative topic.

The report generation step may include inserting the uploaded file at a location on the report corresponding to the point in time when the data file was uploaded during the conversation in the chat room.

The generated report may be a dynamic report in which the changed result is reflected in the report when the result derived through the collaboration tool is changed after generating the report.

The generated report may be a dynamic report that can delete, move, or change at least one of the contents of each conversation included in the report and the results derived through the collaboration tool according to a user's request.

The generated chat room may include an interface for setting whether to insert a report for each chat.

The chat room and the collaboration tool are provided as separate objects, and when an object corresponding to the collaboration tool is moved to the last of the objects provided for the topic according to a user's request, the result of the collaboration tool is the It can be inserted at the end of the report, regardless of when the collaboration tool is called.

The method for dynamically generating a collaborative record using the social platform may further include calculating and providing a topic participation degree for each user by using the number of conversation inputs in the chat room and the number of operations through the collaboration tool.

According to the present invention, when performing a collaboration through a social platform, not only chat rooms but also various collaboration tools can be called dynamically so that participants can work jointly using the collaboration tools.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically generate a report that organically combines not only the contents of the conversation when performing the collaboration but also the results of the collaboration by various tools.

In addition, according to the present invention, since a dynamic report is generated, the intermediate report can be checked even before the collaboration topic is completed, and the changed report can be obtained automatically as the collaboration proceeds.

In addition, according to the present invention, since a dynamic report is generated, the quality of the report can be improved and the degree of completion can be improved by easily deleting, changing, or moving the article or the result of the collaboration tool included in the report.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily grasp the participation degree of each participant in the collaboration.

In addition, the terms "... means", "... unit", "module", etc. described in the specification mean a unit for processing at least one function or operation, which may be implemented in hardware or software, or hardware and software. It can be implemented as a combination of.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly describe the present invention, and like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the specification.

In this specification, all activities such as group studies, group projects, co-writing, team work, etc., which are performed by a plurality of users will be referred to as "collaboration".

In addition, a group of users gathered to perform one or more collaborations together is referred to as a "group", and the online space of the group to be serviced by the collaboration support system of the present invention is referred to as a "room".

In addition, a unit of collaboration created to achieve a specific goal or topic is referred to as a "topic", and each user in a group of users who performs the topic together is referred to as a "member".

In addition, records generated automatically and dynamically as a result of collaboration may be set to take various forms such as business reports, proposals, works, project plans, learning records, scores, and so on. .

Referring to FIG. 1, a collaboration support system provides a collaboration support server 100 for supporting a collaboration to users and automatically generating a dynamic report on the collaboration as a result of collaboration, provided by the collaboration support server 100 through a network. It consists of a plurality of user terminals (111, 112, 113) using a collaboration support service.

The collaborative support server 100 provides a social platform service that is the basis for socialization in all fields of human behavior from daily life such as communication to the operation of the organization and the business. Support collaboration to achieve

The network is not limited to a specific network method and may be any network protocol capable of communicating between the collaboration support server 100 and the user terminals 110. In the present specification, the collaboration support server 100 has been described as providing a service to a user using the Internet and the web, but may provide a service through another network or a separate dedicated application.

Users who use the plurality of user terminals 110 communicate with each other through a social platform provided by the collaboration support server 100 and use various collaboration tools for collaborative work on a specific topic. It manages users' collaborative activities and automatically generates records in the format they want as a result of collaboration.

In FIG. 1, examples of the user terminal 110 include a personal computer 111, a mobile device 112, and a notebook 113, but are not limited thereto. The terminal may execute an application for allowing a user to use a collaboration support service. Anything is possible.

The user terminal 110 includes an input unit for receiving an input from a user, a communication unit for communicating with the collaboration support server 100, and a display unit for displaying conversations, data, and collaboration tools input by users participating in the collaboration. And a control unit that executes a computer program for providing a collaboration support service such as a web browser. The control unit may be implemented in hardware and / or software, and may include a processor.

Referring to FIG. 2, the collaboration support server 100 generates a topic to perform a specific collaboration topic according to a user's request, and generates and provides a chat room corresponding to the topic (S20).

If a supported collaboration tool is called for a collaboration topic while having a conversation in a chat room, a called collaboration tool is generated and provided (S22).

When the report is requested to be generated, the work for generating the report is performed. You must first decide where to insert the output returned by the collaboration tool (s). Basically, the position on the report corresponding to the point of time when the collaboration tool is called during the conversation in the chat room is determined as the insertion position of the collaboration tool result (S24).

The collaboration support server 100 generates a report by referring to the content of the topic members talking in the chat room at the request of the user, and inserts the result derived through the corresponding collaboration tool at the determined location (S26).

On the other hand, if there is uploaded data during the collaboration, this data can be included in the report. At this time, the position on the report corresponding to the point in time when the data file is uploaded during the conversation in the chat room may be determined as the insertion position of the uploaded file, and the content of the file may be inserted at the determined position.

Referring to FIG. 3, the collaboration support server 100 provides a preview of a report generated according to a user's request (S30).

The report may be generated according to one of various preset types of reports. The type of report can be determined using metadata related to the collaboration topic. For example, when a user enters a topic type of "Meeting" or a topic name of "... Meeting" when creating a topic, a meeting type report will be generated.

As another example, the type of report may be determined according to a user's selection.

The type of report depends on the type determined. For example, if the type of report is minutes, each participant's name may be anonymous or real name on the report. When dealing with real names, display the participant's name before each conversation and insert each conversation in order. In case of anonymity, we remove the inputter and insert the contents of each conversation in the report in the order of input.

If the type of report is a broadcast scenario, the contents of the topic members (main authors, composition authors, etc.) may be collected in order, but without the participant's name, the report may be generated in order.

At this time, a message written by one author can be written in a manner that is quoted by another author. In this case, only the final version of the corresponding part can be included in the report by modifying the writing written by another person. When members gradually revise each dialogue or sentence in a scenario, the report includes only the final dialogue or sentences, so that the generated report includes only the final scenario without any intermediate revisions.

If the type of report is a group task, it can be implemented to automatically generate a table of contents. For example, you can analyze the text of a conversation and automatically categorize a sentence after a word such as "well," "next" and then a table of contents.

On the other hand, conversations entered for a topic may be linked in a way that is quoted from each other. Conversations cited more than a certain number of times are important and can be implemented to be automatically inserted into the report or to be included in the report as a table of contents.

A preview of the generated report is provided to the user so that they can check the contents of the report and make any desired modifications before submitting. For efficient remediation, the report according to the present invention will be generated as a dynamic report in which each article (conversation content) and the output derived through the collaboration tool are included in the report as individual entities. The user may input to delete, move, or change each object, and the report is dynamically changed (S32).

If the user selects save after changing the report, the changed report is saved (S34).

In addition, if the conversation in the chat room is further processed after the initial generation of the report or the output derived through the called collaboration tool is changed, the contents of the added conversation or the changed output of the collaboration tool will be dynamically reflected in the report. As a result, members of the topic can get reports that change dynamically as the collaboration progresses.

While drawing, the status of the collaboration tool has not been completed, even if only some members participated in the voting. The current status of the collaboration tool is reflected in the report, and the report can be processed as more work is done through the collaboration tool. To change dynamically.

When the user accesses the collaboration support service, the main screen as shown in FIG. 4 may be accessed. The main screen may include a button 40 for searching or changing an ID, an alias, or user information of an authenticated user. In addition, the room list 42 including information such as the name of the room (s) to which the user subscribes or belongs, the leader, the list of topics being performed, and the like are shown. In the example of Figure 4 it can be seen that the user is subscribed to the room "management planning" and "project A". Each room can enter a group that is joined to the room.

One or more topics can be created in each room. Each room and topic may have metadata, and the metadata may include at least some of information such as a name, a goal, a subject, a subject, a company name, a department name, a performance period, a subscription target or a subscription condition, and a type of report. .

The main screen may include several menus 41, in which the "Feed" menu may be used to identify feedback from other members of the user's activity. User activities represent activities necessary for collaboration, such as access to each room, access to each topic, writing, uploading materials, calling collaborative tools, and registering for notifications. This may be included.

In the "activity status" menu, you can check the user's activity status at a glance. The activity status information may include the number of user's writing (conversation input), uploading number by data type, and access number for each room, and current status comparison with all room subscribers of the room. In addition, the number of times the user writes for each subscription topic, the number of uploads for each data type, and the number of accesses may include a comparison of the current status with all members of the corresponding topic. It may also include information about the members' utilization or participation in collaboration tools that are called on each topic.

In the "Bookmarks" menu, you can check the articles and materials that users bookmarked while collaborating on the topic on one screen.

In the "Library" menu, users can check the uploaded data on one screen and download the data they want during collaboration.

The main screen may also include an area 44 for searching an entire room managed by the collaboration support system and an area for searching a room recommended to a user. It may also include a user interface 45 to create a new room.

5 is a screen when a user selects and enters a room in which the user wants to enter, and illustrates a topic screen generated in the room. 5 is a screen for a room called "management planning," information 51 about a user who is logging in, a list 59 of topics created in the room, an interface 60 for creating a new topic, and a user. It includes an interface 61 for querying the information about the other rooms to join and enter the desired room.

In addition, the interface 52 for checking announcements to members of the currently selected room or topic, the area 53 showing the metadata of the topic currently entered, and automatically collect and record the collaboration process of the topic A button 54 for requesting to generate a report.

When the user requests to create a new collaboration topic for performing a new task, a chat room 55 corresponding thereto is generated and provided, and metadata 53 for the topic may also be generated. The chat room 55 includes contents of conversations uploaded by members of the topic and uploaded material 56, etc. The user may write, icon, upload data, call a collaboration tool, etc. through the message input box 57. have. In addition, the user may perform an activity such as commenting on a post of himself or another member, setting a bookmark, setting a notice, or the like in the chat room 55. Invocation of the collaboration tool can be performed using the collaboration tool icon 58.

When the user presses the generate report button 54, the report is dynamically generated. Specifically, the dialogue contents of the chat window are parsed in order to generate sentences to be included in the report, and the position on the report corresponding to the point in time at which each collaboration tool is called is determined from the dialogue contents order of the chat window. Next, the result returned from each collaboration tool is inserted at the position determined as above. Reports generated in this way may be submitted as-is, but may provide a user with an interface for editing before submission.

In addition, it is possible to provide an interface for setting whether to insert a report for each conversation or data posted to the chat room. If a member of the topic decides whether to put each conversation or upload file into or out of the report and uses this interface to check whether the report is inserted, only those conversations or files that are checked for insertion during future report generation will be inserted into the report. This feature allows you to insert only the information you need into a report, rather than moving the entire chat room with a lot of long, meaningless conversations into the report.

As shown in FIG. 6, when talking about a topic related to a topic in a chat room, clicking the collaboration tool icon 58 or moving the mouse over it when necessary causes a list 62 of callable collaboration tools to appear. You can select one of these to invoke a new collaboration tool of your choice. The collaboration support server 100 provides the called collaboration tool to the members of the corresponding topic, and proceeds with the collaboration in the collaboration tool in real time by receiving the user's collaboration tool manipulations and transmitting the result.

In addition to the basic chat rooms, collaboration tools are required for collaboration, including discussion tools for subtopics, brainstorming tools, voting tools, graphing tools, sheet music drawing tools, multiple-choice questions tools, drawing tools, editing tools, and table making tools. It may include. At least one collaboration tool may be prepared in advance by a predetermined protocol and supported via the Internet.

The screen of the user who invoked the collaboration tool provides an interface for entering information about the called collaboration tool and registering it in association with the topic. FIG. 7 illustrates a screen 70 for registering a voting tool to a topic according to the selection in FIG. 6.

When a user inputs setting information such as a title and an expiration date on the collaboration tool registration screen 70 and selects "Registration", the call and registration of the collaboration tool are completed for the entry entry.

Referring to FIG. 8, it can be seen that the voting tab 80 is added to the chat room tab for the "business environment analysis" topic to which the user enters. The voting tab displays the voting tool (s) registered in the topic. In the example of FIG. 8, the voting tool 81 registered by the manager "Hong Gil Dong" and the voting tool 82 registered by the user "A proxy" are registered in the voting tab. Included in (80), members of the topic can choose their preferred voting tool to vote or view the results of the vote.

The topic's default chat room and collaboration tool (s) can be provided as separate objects (eg, tabs, windows, etc.). By default, the location of the output of each collaboration tool in the report is based on when the collaboration tool is called. Can be determined. However, when an object corresponding to the collaboration tool is moved at the request of the user, the report insertion position may be determined based on the position of the object on the screen.

For example, if an object corresponding to a given collaboration tool is moved last of the objects provided for the topic, the output of the moved collaboration tool may be implemented to be inserted at the end of the report regardless of when the collaboration tool is called. Can be.

In this way, the user can adjust the position of each collaboration tool on the report in an intuitive manner such as drag and drop.

Meanwhile, the topic participation degree for each user may be calculated by using the number of conversation inputs in the chat room of the topic member and the number of tasks or participation information through the collaboration tool, and the result may be provided in a report or a topic execution screen.

The user can vote by checking a desired item and selecting "voting". If the user determines that the vote is not progressing smoothly by checking the turnout rate, the user can take an action such as setting the vote as a notification.

Referring to FIG. 10, opinions input by the users are displayed in the form of a note paper, and a number displayed in the heart shape 101 indicates the number of users who have checked that the opinion is preferred. When calling the brainstorming tool, it can be implemented to set the effective number of preferences, in which case the collaborative support server 100 does not include all the comments of the brainstorming in the report; Will be included in the report.

The user may select the note paper 102 of the desired color at the bottom of the screen and submit a comment.

The user may participate in the brainstorming by inputting a comment in the comment field 111 and may change the color of the note paper using the note paper check box at the bottom.

Referring to FIG. 12, a chat room 121 opened for a topic called “Group Task (Group A)” and

collaboration tools

123, 124, and 125 registered to the topic are displayed in separate windows. In this embodiment, the user can view the progress of the topic including all the collaboration tools on one screen.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the table of contents of the report may be automatically generated by the collaboration support server 100. It analyzes the text of conversations that are sent and received on topics, and automatically extracts the next sentence as a table of contents and inserts it into the report if there is a word meaning to go to the next item, such as "Okay then," "Next." will be. In the example of FIG. 12, since the word " well, " appears in the article 122 of the user " b ", the report for the topic will be inserted as a table item when generating a report of the topic.

When generation of a report is requested by the user, the collaboration support server 100 first determines a location on the report corresponding to the point in time at which the collaboration tool performed on the topic is called. If the voting tool is called after conversation 2 occurs, the corresponding voting result 133 will be inserted after the part corresponding to conversation 2 as shown in FIG. Also, if the brainstorming tool is called after conversation 4 has occurred, the brainstorming result 134 will be inserted after conversation 4.

The report may include a header portion 131 referring to the metadata of the topic and a body portion referring to the dialogue 132 but including the result (s) derived through the collaboration tool at a position determined corresponding to the call point.

Since the report according to the present invention is generated dynamically, the user can simply delete the unnecessary conversation contents or the collaborative tool output by pushing sideways as if the email is deleted from the smartphone. If the user selects "Save" 136 after making the desired change in the preview screen, the collaboration support server 100 will save the changed report, and other members of the topic can also share the changed report.

In addition, if the user selects "Submit" 135, the report will be sent to the submitter of the report. Report submission targets can be set when the topic is created, and the report submission can be determined by checking the metadata of the topic.

In addition, the user can change the type of report at any time to customize the layout of the report.

In addition, topics or collaboration tools may have a time limit set. The report may contain progress information, which allows the user to determine how much of the entire period has passed and how much progress has been made from the current status of invoked tools by interim checking the report even before the final completion of the topic's in-progress report. have.

In the case of the voting tool, the turnout rate is calculated from the number of participants, and in the case of the music drawing tool, the progress rate is judged from the section where the note is attached to the entire score page. Can be determined. This information can be aggregated to indicate the progress of the topic or what percentage of the report is complete. In addition, low progress rate among the tools called can help to smoothly execute the topic by marking this part as vulnerable.
