3 and 4, the port logistics information management system applying the BPMS according to an embodiment of the present invention, the client terminal 110, the port information providing server 120 and the business process management system (BPMS, 130).

Specifically, the client terminal 110 is a terminal for driving the program used by the worker to perform the port logistics business to deliver the message (Event) information related to the port logistics service, and required for the port logistics business By requesting a service by transmitting an event to the port information providing server 120 by performing an action such as a button click or a text input for the purpose of inputting, changing, inquiring, further updating and deleting information.

Here, the message is a string containing the content of the event generated through the client terminal 110, for example, 'G25' = the request for the error history during the gate operation, G25DN000000I20N2TRIU0630091I200FF + U0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0SEAL_01 + SEAL_01 + SEAL_01 +++++ CKLU2770115I200FF + U0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0SEAL_02 + SEAL_02 + SEAL_02 +++++.

The port information providing server 120 is a service providing terminal in which port logistics business logic is implemented so as to respond to a message request according to an event signal from the client terminal 110. The message received from the client terminal 110 There is a lot of information is listed long without a specific division, the message processing module 122 to object to the message modeling (MsgModel) as shown in Figure 5 so that it can be easily used in the port information providing server 120 And a service processing module 126 in which processing logic corresponding to the port logistics service is implemented.

In this case, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6, the message processing module 122 analyzes a message from the client terminal 110 and objectifies the message parsing unit 123 into a message modeling, and FIGS. 4 and 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the message modeling unit 124 includes a message handle unit 124 that calls the process by transferring the message modeling to the BPMS 130 so that the tasks corresponding to the message can be executed sequentially. The processing logic includes a service (Gate Service) and a key service (Quay Service), and a database 128 for storing and managing data generated when the port logistics business process is executed.

Here, the message transmitted from the client terminal 110 and the logic (for example, HandlMsg04) processed by the service processing module 126 of the port information providing server 120 are matched one-to-one. For example, the service processing module 126 of the port information providing server 120 provides a gate service and a key service, HandleMsgG01 indicates that the truck arrives at the gate of the port terminal, and HandleMsgG21 as shown in FIG. 8. Informing the container of the task list request, HandleMsgG27 implements processing logic to notify the cancellation of the work vehicle.

The BPMS 130 is a terminal that not only manages the port logistics business process flow but also provides functions such as process monitoring, process analysis, and task acceleration. Processes all the work that is done in the container terminal where the.

At this time, the BPMS 130 is a workflow designer 132 that can be provided as a user activity by extracting, defining and electronicizing all business processes and functions commonly used in the port logistics, and the workflow designer 132 Process of calling and executing the corresponding service process in the service processing module 126 of the port information providing server 120 by performing the electronic activities and processes corresponding to the message modeling from the message processing module 122 The module 134 includes a database 136 that stores and manages all data for managing the port logistics business process flow.

Here, for example, the port logistics information management system to which the BPMS is applied as described above is compared with before and after the work process change in FIG. 9, for example, in a process for a gate service of a container terminal, for example, a vehicle number and a container. On-site inspections such as number and appearance inspections and changes to the work order of document verification activities can be performed by dragging and dropping only with the mouse or keyboard, so even if changes to existing business processes occur Instead of changing the source code of the port information providing server 120, the process can be changed through BPMS, and the process can be changed in real time without interruption of the system, thereby improving productivity as well as shortening the customization period. .

Meanwhile, referring to the above-described drawings and FIGS. 10 and 11, a port logistics information management method applying a BPMS according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing port logistics information applying a BPMS according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a business process performed according to the procedure of FIG. 10.

First, the port information providing server 120 determines whether an event for a port task has occurred from the client terminal 110 (S210).

At this time, the port information providing server 120 waits if there is no service request according to the event occurrence from the client terminal 110, and receives a service request signal according to the message corresponding to the event if there is a service request according to the event occurrence ( S220).

For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 11, the client terminal 110 receives the event information according to the selection of the container import schedule information button at the gate of the port terminal with the operation of the port logistics related program of the worker. After that, the message is transmitted to the message processing module 122 of the port information providing server 120.

Next, the port information providing server 120 analyzes the message from the client terminal 110 through the message parsing unit 123 to object the message modeling (S230).

Then, the port information providing server 120 transmits the message modeling objectified in step S230 to the BPMS 130 through the message handle unit 124 to call a business process corresponding to the message modeling (S240).

That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 11, the message handle unit 124 delivers and calls the message modeling on the container loading schedule confirmation task to the BPMS 130.

Subsequently, the BPMS 130 executes the work process corresponding to the message modeling through the process processing module 134, and the service corresponding to the message modeling in the service processing module 126 of the port information providing server 120. In operation S250, the gate service and the key service process matching the process may be called and executed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 11, the BPMS 130 checks the loading schedule information of the container for the message modeling from the message handle unit 124 of the port information providing server 120, and confirms the container sealing. After executing a business process such as device positioning, the executed business process is transmitted to the service processing module 134 of the port information providing server 120 to execute the corresponding service.

At this time, the process corresponding to the message modeling executed in the process processing module 134 of the BPMS 130 is electronically pre-stored through the workflow designer 132 and stored in the database 136 as a user activity.

On the other hand, after the step S250, the service process executed in the service processing module 126 of the port information providing server 120 is stored in the database 128, so that it can be reused for future business processes ( S260).

Therefore, the port logistics process flow is managed by BPMS, not the port logistics management system corresponding to the port information providing server, thereby minimizing the change of the source code of the port logistics information management system according to the change of the port logistics business process, Increase the reusability of information management systems.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, Of course.
