In general, the service system inside and outside the enterprise exists by being developed and introduced as a system that provides various services according to the need. For this reason, there exists a similar service system in the same enterprise and also provides a service of a similar / duplicate form. In addition, various similar / redundant service systems are being promoted depending on the project management and operation.

Therefore, it is difficult to provide an efficient service due to the duplicated investment and excessive cost in the enterprise side, and the maintenance of duplicated personnel due to the same business and the scattered service system.

Nevertheless, to date, there is no systematic way to compare these similar / duplicated service systems, and service system participants are affected by the interests of service system operators rather than by objective judgment. There is a situation.

Currently, most service systems are operated inconsistent with individual needs, which requires efficient structural improvement for providing new services inside and outside the enterprise. Automatically deriving similar / redundant relationships between these service systems can contribute to effective decision making. In addition, it is possible to present an objective criterion for improving the existing service system by comparing the service systems currently provided by companies with those of other companies.

Therefore, in the current technical field, the manager can solve the similarity / duplicate between service systems by providing a method for automating the comparison of similar / duplicate status between various service systems both inside and outside the enterprise, and by providing a systematic approach and processing. This is desperately required.

The present invention has been proposed to meet the above requirements, and provides a method of systematically deriving similar / duplicate items in order to solve similarity / duplicate between service systems, and to automate the processing for this. The purpose is to provide an automatic comparison method of similar / duplicate services to provide managers with similar / duplicate items of a fast and objective service system from time to time.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of comparing similar / duplicate services, comprising a service reference table serving as a criterion for determining similar / duplicate services, wherein the service reference table is standardized for each service system field. A reference table configuration step of configuring a representative service and a detailed function item to be included; A comparator table for each service according to a service field of the comparator service system, wherein the comparator table for each service is configured such that information held by the comparator service system has a table structure; And arranging the service reference table and the comparison target table for each service, and then comparing the functions and related technologies for each reference service with the functions and related technologies of the target service for each item to determine similarity / duplicate. Characterized in that the made up.

On the other hand, the present invention, in a similar / duplicate service automatic comparison system having a processor, a service reference table that is a standard of similar / duplicate service determination is configured, the service reference table is standardized for each service system field and representative service And a function configured to include detailed function items; A comparator table for each service according to a service field of a comparator service system, wherein the comparator table for each service has a function of configuring information held by the comparator service system to have a table structure; And arranging the service reference table and the comparison target table for each service, and comparing the functions of the reference service and the related technology with the function of the target service and related technologies for each item to determine a similarity / duplicate.

Can present

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an explanatory diagram comparing a conventional similar / duplicate service comparison analysis method and a similar / duplicate service comparison analysis method to which the present invention is applied.                     

Existing service systems have different development and introduction timings according to business needs, and provide services with similar / duplicate items. Existing methods (1a) for determining these inefficiencies are illustrated by consultation with the relevant business owners and extensive service-related reports or documents.

However, the improved scheme 1b divides the similarity / duplicate information into the representative field reference table 11b and the comparison target table 12b, and then organizes the comparisons.

In the improved scheme 1b, the reference table 11b is a standardized service and detailed function of each service system field, for example, portals, E-Commerce, general homepage, video service, IDC, CDN, etc. It must contain an item.

This reference table 11b should include representative items of each service classification, rather than service and function items dependent on a specific service system. If there is no such standardized service and function, a representative service system of each service area inside / outside the company may be used as an item of the reference table 11b.

Meanwhile, the target table 12b is a target of comparison of the reference table 11b, and the comparison items may be different according to the field of the service system, and the file structure, table structure, and structure are not determined according to the information type held by the target system. It is divided into the form and the like, more detailed description thereof will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a detailed flowchart illustrating a preparation process in an automatic comparison method for similar / duplicate services according to the present invention, and is a process for preparing similar / duplicate related administrators to compare reference service system information and target service system information.                     

The reference service system table consists of representative service and function items according to each service system field (201). At this time, the items for the table configuration can be compared accurately as the detail is detailed, and standardized data up to a service level, a function level, and an implementation technology level may be required. The reference service table should be updated periodically to compare the comparison table with each other so that the differences can be distinguished in detail.

Thereafter, when the configuration of the reference table is completed (201), it is necessary to select the comparison target service system and grasp the corresponding target table information (202).

In many cases, when the form of the table to be compared is unstructured, the information on the service provided by the service system should be organized into a certain type of table and the information should be managed by the system.

The information type of the service system to be compared may be classified into a file structure, a table structure, an unspecified structure, etc. (203).

In the case of the file structure, the hierarchical information may be mapped and compared to a table structure in the form of a reference table (204). Specific examples of such a file structure include EJB JAR archive information, corresponding web home page link structure information, and service provision classification information defined in a hierarchical file structure. This mapping process will be described in detail with reference to the following specific example.

On the other hand, when the comparison target information has a table structure, the item is adjusted and detailed to be compared with the reference table type (205).

On the other hand, in the case of undefined structure, if the information of the service system to be compared is not present in the system, it is manually prepared in the form of a reference table (that is, the information of the service system to be compared is input from the administrator), and the related information is displayed on the homepage or the like. If it is described through, it compares by adjusting the information in hierarchical file structure or table form with the support of tools that provide methods such as directory structure or search engine method (robot etc. automatically classify and store homepage information). (206). As such, when the corresponding information on the related service provision information (homepage description or general document) is recorded on the homepage, etc., the following description will be made in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

In this manner, after the comparison target table is configured, the existing table and the comparison table are stored in the DB (207) and stored in a comparable state. When comparing and storing in DB, various comparison methods and query processing are possible, and 1: N comparison with reference tables and several similar service systems is also possible. In addition, the comparison results can be reviewed intuitively and objectively. Although some of the processes of FIG. 2 may depend on manual operations, the level of automation may be determined according to whether a table to be compared is provided in a corresponding service system.

3 is a detailed flowchart illustrating a result derivation process in a method for automatically comparing similar / duplicate services according to the present invention.

The reference table and the comparison table are sorted based on the DB stored through the process of FIG. 2 (301). At this time, it can be arranged in a convenient form for sequential sorting and comparative analysis for each service.

After sorting (301), the reference table and the comparison table are compared (302). The comparison process performs a query processing so that the functions and related technologies of the reference service and the functions and related technologies of the target service are compared.

According to the comparison result, it may be known whether similarity / duplicate exists (303). At this time, the result of comparing similar / duplicate items is consistent with information that exists in the base table but not in the comparison table, items in the comparison table but not in the base table, and items that exist in both tables at the same time. Can be provided.

In the query processing for comparison, if only the core functions of the core service are satisfied, it can be defined as similar / duplicate. If the comparison result is more than expected, similar / duplicate can be defined as similar / duplicate. The criterion of may be defined (303).

If it is not a duplicate (303), it is possible to re-compare and compare with other service systems through the sorting process (301) for comparison analysis.

On the other hand, if it is determined that similarity / duplicate (303), the administrator first objectively examines the similarity / duplicate items (304) and outputs the result (305).

The manager can discuss in-depth with the service system manager through the objective data output and can make various business coordination decisions.

FIG. 4 is an exemplary diagram illustrating adjusting a file structure type information into a table structure for automatically comparing similar / duplicate services according to the present invention, and illustrates an example of converting the hierarchical file structure of FIG. 2 into a table structure type. .

Considering the case where the service information provided by the service system has a hierarchical file structure 4a. A service can be composed of sub-services, functions, and technologies called a-1 and a-2 (4a). In the table structure (4b), each service is placed in the KEY column. The number of subcomponents is specified, and the child column specifies the corresponding subservices, functions, and technologies of the Key column. Finally, in the Parent column, specify the parent service of the corresponding Key column.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram for adjusting general information into a table structure for automatic comparison of similar / duplicate services according to the present invention, and illustrates a specific example in which the target table structure of FIG. 2 is undefined.

If there is no information about the service provided by the service system, it must be manually entered in the table. However, if information about the provided service exists as shown in FIG. 5 (5a), the information is stored in the directory structure information and the search engine. The pre-adjustment table structure 5b is constructed based on the information sorted by.

Since the table structure 5b before adjustment is composed of terms that are dependent on the service system, the table structure 5c is adjusted after adjusting to a general term corresponding to the technical standard in order to compare with the reference table. To this end, a similar semantic table (table listing contents of similar semantics for each item of the reference table) 5d may be configured, and the table structure may be automatically configured after adjustment by referring to the administrator. For example, the term "my" in the pre-adjustment table 5b is adjusted to the general term "personalization" in the post-adjustment table 5c. In addition, in the case of a general document form for explaining service provision for a service system, a comparison table may be configured by extracting a meaningful word (service or item) and then placing related items in the table. Among the item information of the comparative method described above, it may include a variety of necessary for comparison, such as the related software version.

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.).

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

As described above, the present invention enables automatic detection of similar / duplicate items among interspersed service systems, so that an administrator who plans this in an existing service system as well as an additional service system in the future may be able to detect an existing service system. Redundancy can be prevented in advance, and business coordination between existing service systems can provide consistent service provision and reduce inefficient costs. In addition, the manager can be provided with an objective decision basis for adjusting similarity / duplicate items between service systems automatically detected through the present invention.
