The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: There will be. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an application monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an application monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of communication terminals 100-N and an application monitoring server 200. The communication terminal 100-N and the application monitoring server 200 communicate with each other through the network 300. The network 300 includes a mobile communication network, a broadband wired communication network, and the like, and corresponds to a well-known conventional technology in the present invention.

When the specific application is installed, changed or executed, the communication terminal 100-N is a communication device in which one or more applications are installed. The communication terminal 100-N is a communication device that transmits the terminal identification information, application identification information , Execution menu identification information, use time, and the like to the application monitoring server 200. [ Further, when the usage information generated in the specific application during the reference time (for example, one minute) exceeds the threshold value (for example, 30), the communication terminal 100-N temporarily transmits usage information and usage information generation . Further, when the number of use information transmission interruptions of a specific application exceeds a predetermined threshold number (for example, three times), the communication terminal 100-N transmits identification information of the specific application, version information, ) To the application monitoring server (200). The communication terminal 100-N can be installed as an application and can communicate with the application monitoring server 200 via the network 300 as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a mobile communication terminal, Possible devices are not limited and can be adopted.

The application monitoring server 200 calculates statistics on the usage status of each application and performs a function of checking whether or not each application has an error. Specifically, the application monitoring server 200 analyzes a plurality of pieces of usage information received from each communication terminal 100-N, and generates statistics on the usage status of each application. In particular, when the application monitoring server 200 receives the blocking notification message from the communication terminal 100-N, the application monitoring server 200 maps the identification information of the application included in the blocking notification message, the version information, and the terminal identification information and registers them in the verification list . In addition, the application monitoring server 200 can receive, from the communication terminal 100-N exceeding a threshold number (for example, 10) for a certain period of time (for example, 30 days) It is determined that the specific application is an abnormal application and the identification information and version information of the application are registered in the block list.

On the other hand, the application monitoring server 200 confirms the identification information of the application registered in the block list, transmits a transmission cutoff instruction message to the communication terminal 100-N provided with the application matching the identification information and the version information, And controls the communication terminal 100-N to stop transmitting the usage information of the application. In one embodiment, when the application monitoring server 200 receives from the communication terminal 100-N usage information including identification information and version information of an application registered in the block list, the application terminal 100- N to transmit a transmission blocking indication message. In another embodiment, the application monitoring server 200 identifies one or more communication terminals 100-N in which an abnormal application is installed based on the terminal-specific application installation information being stored, and identifies each communication terminal 100- A transmission blocking indication message may be transmitted. Preferably, the application monitoring server 200 transmits the transmission blocking indication message in the form of a push message so that the transmission blocking command included in the transmission blocking indication message is executed through a designated application (i.e., an abnormally determined application) .

In addition, the application monitoring server 200 checks the number of applications being blocked to transmit to the communication terminal 100-N for each communication terminal 100-N based on the data recorded in the verification list, If there is a communication terminal 100-N whose number is not less than a predetermined number (for example, two), it is determined that a failure has occurred in the communication terminal 100-N itself. In addition, the application monitoring server 200 registers the identification information of the communication terminal 100-N, which has determined that the failure has occurred, in the abnormal terminal list. In this case, the application monitoring server 200 may transmit to the communication terminal 100-N a message advising to perform software or hardware diagnosis of the communication terminal 100-N.

Preferably, the application monitoring server 200 excludes the application registered in the block list from the statistical object when generating the statistics on the usage status of the application, based on the usage information, and also identifies the communication terminal identified in the abnormal terminal list And excludes the usage information including the identification information of the communication terminal from the statistical object.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of an application installed in a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the communication terminal 100-N according to an embodiment of the present invention includes one or more applications 110, each application 110 includes a usage information generation module 111, usage information A transfer module 112, a usage information count module 113, and an application control module 114. [ The respective modules 111, 112, 113 and 114 included in the application 110 are installed in the application 110 when the application 110 is installed in the communication terminal 100-N.

The usage information generation module 111 generates the usage information including the terminal identification information, the application identification information, the application version information, the terminal model information, the execution menu identification information, the usage time, and the like in the case where the application 110 is installed, Generates application usage information. In particular, when a specific menu is selected from a plurality of menus implemented in the application 110, the usage information generation module 111 generates usage information including the menu identification information. That is, the usage information generating module 111 generates usage information of the application each time a menu is selected by the user. Further, the usage information generation module 111 stops generation of usage information temporarily or continuously under the control of the application control module 114. [

The usage information transmission module 112 transmits the usage information generated by the usage information generation module 111 to the application monitoring server 200 via the network 300. [ In addition, when the use information transmission module 112 is instructed to interrupt the transmission from the application control module 114, the usage information transmission module 112 temporarily or permanently stops the transmission of the usage information.

The usage information count module 113 counts usage information transmitted from the usage information transmission module 112. That is, the usage information count module 113 counts the usage information transmitted from the usage information transmission module 112 at intervals of a reference time (e.g., 1 minute), and transmits the counted usage information count to the application control module 114 .

The application control module 114 determines whether or not the application is normally operating based on the number of usage information transmitted from the usage information count module 113 and controls the operation of the application according to the determination result. Specifically, the application control module 114 checks whether the number of usage information transmitted from the usage information count module 113 exceeds a threshold value (for example, 30). If the usage information is below a threshold value, . On the other hand, when the number of usage information exceeds the threshold value, the application control module 114 determines that the application operates abnormally and excessive usage information is generated in the usage information generation module 111, (For example, 1 minute), and also controls the use information transmission module 112 to temporarily suspend transmission of the usage information for a specified period of time. At this time, the application control module 114 increases the number of times of stopping the transmission of the usage information of the application by '1'.

On the other hand, when the number of usage information transmission interruption times of the application exceeds a predetermined threshold number (for example, three times), the application control module 114 controls the usage information generation module 111 and the usage information transmission module 112 Generates a blocking notification message including the identification information of the application and the version information and the identification information of the communication terminal 100-N and notifies the blocking of the use information transmission, And transmits the generated blocking notification message to the application monitoring server 200.

When the application control module 114 receives the transmission interruption instruction message from the application monitoring server 200, the application control module 114 transmits the transmission interruption instruction message to the usage information generation module 111, (112) to continuously stop generation and transmission of usage information. After the application 110 corresponding to the application identification information acquires the transmission interruption instruction message, the transmission interruption indication message includes application identification information, . Meanwhile, when the application corresponding to the application identification information 110 included in the transmission blocking indication message is removed from the communication terminal 100-N, the communication terminal 100-N discards the transmission blocking indication message.

On the other hand, the application control module 114 resets (i. E., Sets to '0') the number of times the application 110 stops using the application when the application 110 is updated or reinstalled, And resumes transmission.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling the operation of an application according to the number of generation of usage information of an application, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, when the application 110 is installed, changed or executed, the usage information generating module 111 generates usage information using the terminal identification information, the application identification information, the application version information, the terminal model information, the execution menu identification information, The usage information of the application including the time and the like is generated (S301). At this time, the usage information generating module 111 generates usage information including the menu identification information whenever a specific menu is selected from a plurality of menus implemented in the application 110. [ Then, the usage information transmission module 112 transmits the usage information generated by the usage information generation module 111 to the application monitoring server 200 via the network 300 (S303).

The usage information count module 113 counts the usage information transmitted from the usage information transmission module 112 at intervals of a reference time (for example, 1 minute), and transmits the counted number of usage information to the application control module 114 (S305).

Then, the application control module 114 checks whether the number of usage information received from the usage information count module 113 exceeds a threshold (for example, 30) (S307). Then, the application control module 114 determines that the application is operating normally if the number of the usage information is less than the threshold value, and causes the application control module 114 to proceed again after step S301.

On the other hand, when the number of pieces of usage information exceeds the threshold value, the application control module 114 determines that the application operates abnormally and excessive usage information is generated in the usage information generation module 111, The function of the usage information transmission module 112 is suspended so that the function of the usage information transmission module 112 is temporarily stopped for a specified time (for example, 1 minute) And temporarily stops (S309).

Next, the application control module 114 increments the number of times of stopping the transmission of the usage information of the application to '1' (S311) as the generation and transmission of the usage information are temporarily stopped. Then, the application control module 114 determines whether or not the number of times of stopping the increased use information transmission interruption exceeds a preset threshold number (for example, three times) (S313) and, if exceeded, temporarily stops the function The usage information generation module 111 and the usage information transmission module 112 are continuously stopped so that the usage information is not continuously generated and the usage information is continuously blocked from being transmitted to the application monitoring server 200 (S315).

Then, the application control module 114 generates a blocking notification message including the identification information of the application, the version information, and the identification information of the communication terminal 100-N, And transmits a notification message to the application monitoring server 200 (S317).

On the other hand, in step S313, if the number of times the use information transmission interruption increased in step S311 does not exceed a preset threshold number (for example, three times), the application control module 114 determines that the specified time The usage information generation module 111 and the usage information transmission module 112 are restarted again and the process proceeds from step S301.

4, the application monitoring server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a data collecting unit 210, a storing unit 220, an application verifying unit 230, a blocking instruction unit 240, A verification unit 250, and a statistical processing unit 260.

The data collection unit 210 collects usage information from each communication terminal 100-N through the network 300 and stores the usage information in the storage unit 220. [ The data collecting unit 210 receives the blocking notification message from the communication terminal 100-N and transmits the blocking notification message to the application verification unit 230. [

The storage unit 220 stores a plurality of pieces of usage information and stores one or more pieces of application installation information (i.e., application identification information and version information) installed in each communication terminal 100-N by communication terminals. Also, the storage unit 220 stores the terminal identification information, the verification list in which the version information of the application and the identification information are mapped, and the blocking list in which the identification information of the application and the version information are registered. In addition, the storage unit 220 stores an abnormal terminal list in which identification information of a communication terminal operating abnormally is registered.

The application verifying unit 230 performs a function of verifying whether or not each application is normal. Specifically, when the data collecting unit 210 collects the blocking notification message, the application verifying unit 230 maps the identification information of the application included in the blocking notification message, the version information, and the terminal identification information, In the verification list.

The application verifying unit 230 verifies the number of communication terminals 100 (for example, 10) over a predetermined time (e.g., 30 days) based on the data registered in the verification list of the storage unit 220 N), it is determined that the particular application is an abnormal application, and the identification information and the version information of the application are stored in the block list of the storage unit 220 Register.

The blocking instruction unit 240 checks identification information and version information of the application registered in the blocking list of the storage unit 220 and transmits the identification information and the version information to the communication terminal 100- And transmits a transmission cutoff instruction message including a control command. In one embodiment, when the use information including the identification information of the application registered in the block list and the version information is collected by the data collecting unit 210, the block instructing unit 240 transmits the usage information to the communication terminal 100 -N) < / RTI > In other embodiments, the block indicator 240 may include one or more communication terminals 100 - 100 installed with an abnormal application (that is, an application registered in the block list) based on the per-terminal application installation information and the block list stored in the storage unit 220. [ N, and transmits a transmission cutoff instruction message to each communication terminal 100-N thus identified. At this time, the blocking instruction unit 240 transmits the transmission blocking instruction message in the form of a push message so that the blocking control command included in the transmission blocking instruction message can be executed through the corresponding application.

The terminal verification unit 250 performs a function of verifying the abnormally operating communication terminal 100-N based on the verification list of the storage unit 220. Specifically, the terminal verification unit 250 checks the number of applications that are blocked for transmission to the communication terminal 100-N for each communication terminal 100-N based on the data recorded in the verification list of the storage unit 220 , It is checked whether or not there exists a communication terminal 100-N whose number of applications is more than a preset number (for example, two) during transmission blocking. That is, the terminal verification unit 250 checks the number of the blocking notification messages for each terminal, and checks whether the communication terminal 100-N that has transmitted the blocking notification message at a predetermined number or more exists. If there is a communication terminal 100-N having a predetermined number or more of applications being blocked for transmission (that is, if there is a communication terminal that has transmitted a blocking notification message in a predetermined number or more) , It is determined that a failure has occurred in the communication terminal 100-N itself, and the identification information of the communication terminal 100-N is registered in the abnormal terminal list. Preferably, the terminal verification unit 250 can transmit a message to the communication terminal 100-N registered in the abnormal terminal list to advise that the operating terminal 100-N perform an operating system or hardware diagnosis have.

The statistical processing unit 260 calculates statistics on the usage status of the application based on a plurality of pieces of usage information stored in the storage unit 220. [ Specifically, the statistical processing unit 260 selects usage information having a usage time included in a specific period from a plurality of stored usage information, analyzes the selected usage information, calculates application statistics, Statistics for frequently used applications by day of week or time of day, and frequently used application statistics for different carriers. At this time, the statistical processing unit 260 firstly removes the usage information having the identification information and the version information of the application registered in the block list from among the plurality of pieces of usage information selected, and further adds the terminal identification information registered in the abnormal terminal list After removing the usage information of the application, it analyzes the usage information thus removed, and calculates statistics on the usage status of the application.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for verifying an abnormal application and a communication terminal based on a blocking notification message received from a communication terminal in an application monitoring server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the data collection unit 210 continuously monitors whether or not data is received from the communication terminal 100-N (S501). When the usage information is received from the communication terminal 100-N, the data collection unit 210 stores the usage information in the storage unit 220. When the usage notification is received from the communication terminal 100-N, And transmits a blocking notification message to the application verification unit 230 (S503).

When receiving the blocking notification message from the data collecting unit 210, the application verifying unit 230 maps the identification information of the application included in the blocking notification message, the version information, and the terminal identification information, (S505).

Next, as the verification list is updated, the application verification unit 230 checks the identification information and version information of the application included in the newly registered data and sets the number of the terminal identification information mapped with the identification information and the version information (S507). In other words, the application verifying unit 230 refers to the verification list of the number of the communication terminals 100-N that have sent the blocking notification message due to an operation error of the application corresponding to the identification information of the application and the version information Check. At this time, if there is duplicate terminal identification information, the application verifier 230 removes the duplicate terminal identification information and counts the duplicated terminal identification information.

Then, the application verification unit 230 checks whether the counted number of the terminal identification information exceeds the threshold number (10, for example) (S509), and if not, proceeds to step S513. On the other hand, if the number of counted terminal identification information exceeds the threshold number, the application verifying unit 230 judges whether the number of the terminal identification information is larger than the threshold number, from the plurality of communication terminals 100- The identification information and the version information of the application are registered in the blocking list in the storage unit 220 in step S511 and the data having the application identification information and the version information is registered in the verification list of the storage unit 220 .

Next, the terminal verification unit 250 checks the terminal identification information included in the newly registered data in the verification list of the storage unit 220, and counts the application identification information mapped with the terminal identification information in the verification list (S513). Then, the terminal verification unit 250 checks whether the number of counted application identification information is equal to or greater than a specified number (for example, two), and if it is less than the specified number, the terminal verification unit 250 proceeds to step S501 and thereafter again. On the other hand, if the number of the counted application identification information is greater than or equal to the designated number, the terminal verification unit 250 registers the terminal identification information in the abnormal terminal list of the storage unit 220 (S515, S517). That is, based on the data registered in the verification list, the terminal verification unit 250 checks whether or not the number of applications being blocked by the communication terminal 100-N that transmitted the blocking notification message is abnormal, The communication terminal 100-N that has transmitted the blocking notification message determines that a failure has occurred, and registers the terminal identification information in the abnormal terminal list of the storage unit 220. At this time, the terminal verification unit 250 may transmit a message to the communication terminal 100-N registered in the abnormal terminal list to advise that the operating terminal 100-N perform an operating system or hardware diagnosis .

Referring to FIG. 6, the blocking instruction unit 240 monitors usage information collected by the data collection unit 210 (S601). When usage information is collected, the blocking instruction unit 240 checks the identification information and version information of the application included in the usage information (S603).

In operation S605, the blocking instruction unit 240 determines whether data matching the identified application and version information is registered in the blocking list of the storage unit 220. If the identification information and version information of the application identified in step S603 are not recorded in the blocking list of the storage unit 220, the blocking instruction unit 240 proceeds to step S601 and subsequent steps.

On the other hand, when the identification information and version information of the application identified in step S603 are registered in the blocking list of the storage unit 220, the blocking instruction unit 240 abnormally informs the communication terminal 100-N that transmitted the use information The communication terminal 100-N determines that the identified application is installed, and transmits a transmission blocking instruction message to the communication terminal 100-N (S607) The usage information of the application is generated and blocked from being transmitted to the application monitoring server 200.
