When the user terminal 120 accesses or attempts to access a folder management system or a folder, the folder access management unit 310 receives the access of the user terminal 120. More specifically, the folder access management unit 310 may receive a request for access to a folder management system or a specific folder from the user terminal 120, and may determine whether to allow the corresponding access by checking the access rights of the user. have.

Here, the folder access management unit 310 may obtain user information associated with the user terminal 120 or identification information of the user terminal, and check access rights to the folder of the user terminal 120. The folder access management unit 310 may allow access only when it is determined that the user or the user terminal has permission to access the folder management system or folder.

In one embodiment, the presence or absence of access rights to the folder may be determined through user invitation by the folder creator when the folder is created. That is, only the user who invites the folder creator to the folder has access rights to the folder.

The folder access management unit 310 may perform management of adding, modifying or deleting a file or sub-folder in the folder based on the request of the folder user, wherein the file is a document transmitted from the user terminal 120 It can contain general user files such as files or multimedia files.

The folder list providing unit 320 provides a folder list only when it is confirmed by the folder access management unit 310 that the user terminal 120 has access rights. Here, the folder in which the list is provided may be limited to folders that the user terminal 120 has confirmed to have access rights. In addition, the folder list providing unit 320 may also provide a folder list and a folder badge corresponding to each folder.

The folder list providing unit 320 may include a folder management unit (not shown). The folder management unit can create and manage folders. More specifically, the folder manager may create a folder based on a user's request, and create and manage subfolders within the folder.

In an embodiment, when a folder creation request is received from the user terminal 120, the folder manager may create a specific folder designated as a folder creator by a user associated with the user terminal 120. In addition, by inviting a folder sharer according to the designation of the folder creator, at least one folder participant who participates in the folder may be determined.

In one embodiment, when a folder is created by a folder creator, the folder management unit may grant the folder creator access rights of the folder creator including the folder deletion permission, and each folder participant can be You can grant access rights.

When the user terminal 120 accesses a specific folder and opens a corresponding folder, the file list providing unit 330 may provide a file list of files in the corresponding folder. Here, of course, the list may be provided only for files to which the user terminal 120 has access or browsing rights. In addition, the file list providing unit 330 may provide a file badge per user per file corresponding to each file along with a file list according to each user.

Here, the file may include all types of objects such as documents, still images, moving pictures, tables, and audio data stored in a folder or accessible through the folder. In addition, the file here can include folder memos, which are notes related to the folder, and business objects related to the folder or files in the folder, or files related to the business objects stored in the folder or accessible through the folder. have.

In particular, the file badge for the folder notepad may be referred to as a file badge or a folder memo badge. Similarly, a file badge for a folder chat room may be referred to as a file badge or a folder chat room badge, and a file badge for a business object may be referred to as a file badge or a work object badge.

In addition, when business objects, folder notepads, and folder chat rooms are also associated with files, the update history of the business objects, folder notepads, and folder chat rooms can be reflected in the file badges of the files associated with them and the folder badges of the folders associated with them. have.

And in one embodiment, when access to a specific folder of the user terminal 120 is allowed through the folder access management unit 310, the folder list providing unit 320 displays a list of subfolders in the folder and meta Data, etc. may be provided, and subfolder badges corresponding to the subfolders may be provided together. In addition, to the user terminal 120 permitted to access the folder by the folder access management unit 310 and the folder list providing unit 320, the file list providing unit 330 provides metadata and corresponding files in the folder. A file list including an access path to the file may be provided to the user terminal 120.

More specifically, if the folder list providing unit 320 allows access to the folder of the user terminal 120 through the folder access management unit 310, i) metadata about subfolders in the folder ii) the folder For each of the at least one subfolder in the user terminal 120, a folder badge for each user folder including modification information performed for each folder user participating in the corresponding folder may be provided to the user terminal 120.

And likewise, when access to a specific folder of the user terminal 120 is allowed through the folder access management unit 310, the file list providing unit 330 includes i) a file list including metadata about files in the corresponding folder and ii ) For each of the at least one file in the folder, to participate in the folder and provide the user terminal 120 with a file badge for each file that includes modification information performed for each folder user who has the right to modify the file. I can.

The folder badge management unit 340 generates, calculates, and updates a folder badge using the update history of the folder and the user's access information. Here, the folder may also include subfolders. In addition, the file badge management unit 350 generates, calculates, and updates a file badge using update details of files in the folder and user access information. In addition, the file badge value may be added to the folder badge value of the folder to which the corresponding file belongs.

Folder badges include all update details including new creation of the folder itself, change of settings, modification, etc. for a specific folder, all update details including uploading and/or modification, addition, change, etc. of files in the folder, folders It shows information on how much of the new creation or setting change of the sub-folder and all updates that have occurred in the sub-folder have been accumulated. However, it is the folder badge value according to an embodiment of the present invention that indicates the accumulated number of update details not checked by a specific user, rather than the simple accumulated number of update details due to the above-described events.

In the same way, file badges are read or confirmed by the user among the cumulative number of updates to the file in the event of an update that includes all events such as uploading and/or modification, addition, change, update of a specific file. Indicates the number of unconfirmed updates. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the folder badge or file badge indicates the number of unconfirmed update details of the specific user among all update events including new uploads, corrections, changes, etc. of a specific folder or specific file for a specific user. Can be indicated.

Therefore, folder badges are not only recorded differently for each folder, but also counted, recorded, and visualized separately for each user. This is because when a plurality of users participate in folder sharing, folders that each user has opened or not opened, files that have not been read or read, and updated details of each folder and files are all different. Therefore, the folder badge may be an index that quantifies and displays matters required for future reading and confirmation of a specific folder by a specific user.

For example, the folder badge for each folder for each user may be described as follows. Assuming that there are folders 1 and 2 in the folder management system, and there are user A and user B who are folder users, the correction and update information for each of folder 1 and folder 2, and folder 1 for each of user A and user B. And read information on folder 2 may be displayed, respectively.

That is, when folder 1 is newly created as a folder accessible to user A, the folder badge value of folder 1 becomes 1. And when a new file 1-1 is newly created in folder 1, the folder badge value of folder 1 becomes 2. And when user A accesses the uploaded folder 1 and reads all of it, the folder badge value of folder 1 becomes 0.

Thereafter, when n number of folder updates occur as the authorized user B or User C performs a folder update action such as modifying or changing folder 1, adding files or notes, until user A confirms this, The file badge value of folder 1 visible to user A is n. Then, when user A opens folder 1 and reads a newly created or modified folder or file to check all n folder update details, the folder badge value of folder 1 visible to user A becomes 0 again.

The folder badge management unit 340 may detect a modification of a folder or a file by an arbitrary user terminal 120 to update a folder modification history for each user-independent file. Here, the user-independent folder modification history for each folder includes the user's folder modification results for each folder.

In this case, the update of the folder may include both modifications or setting changes to the folder itself, as well as updates occurring in subfolders included in the folder, and updates occurring in files included in the folder.

The update to the folder itself means, for example, a folder name change, a folder participant change, a folder participant's permission change, etc., the folder is not updated due to an update of files or subfolders in the folder, but the setting or status of the folder, etc. This can mean a case where a modification or change is applied directly to the folder itself.

When an update history occurs in a file included in the folder, this is also a matter to be confirmed by a folder participant, and the occurrence of an unconfirmed update history for the file is reflected in the folder badge value. When a file is newly created, modified, changed, or edited, and the access authority to the file is changed, all of the update details that occur in the file can be examples.

That is, the update history of a file in the folder can be regarded as one of the update history of the folder, the update history of the folder includes the update history of the file in the folder, and the file badge value of the file is the folder to which the file belongs. It can be added to the folder badge value.

When an update occurs in a subfolder included in a folder, this is also included in the items that folder participants should check for folder-related tasks. Therefore, the number of unconfirmed updates to subfolders is also reflected when calculating the folder badge value. In other words, the creation, modification, and change of the subfolder as well as the update details of the files in the subfolder are counted as the update details of the subfolder. In addition, the total of the update details generated for the subfolder may be at least a part of the update details of the folder to which the subfolder belongs. That is, the update details of the folder may include the update details of the subfolders included in the folder.

Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the badge value of the folder badge is i) the number of unconfirmed update details among the update details (eg, folder name change or folder participant change, etc.) generated for the folder itself, and ii) within the folder. It can be calculated by summing the badge value of the file badge of the included files and the badge value of the subfolder badge of the subfolders included in the folder.

The file badge management unit 350 also detects the occurrence of update details such as modification or change of a file by the user terminal 120, and determines the number of unconfirmed update details for each user among the update details that have occurred for the corresponding file. It is calculated as a file badge value, and a file badge corresponding to the badge value can be generated. Accordingly, the file badge management unit 350 includes the update history for a specific file, date and time information of the update history, identification information of the user who updated the file, identification information of the user who accessed the file, and the date and time when a specific user accessed the file. It is possible to create and update a file badge by using one or more of the information.

Here, the file managed by the file badge management unit 350 may include not only a general user file, but also a folder or a folder related to the file, notepad, folder chat room, and work objects. Creation and management of file objects for each of these will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

The file badge management unit 350 includes update details for a specific file, date and time information of the update details, identification information of a user who has updated the file, identification information of a user who has accessed the file, and date and time information of a specific user accessing the file By accumulating and managing files, you can form a file modification history.

As described above, the folder badge management unit 340 also includes update details for files in the folder, date and time information of the update details, identification information of the user who updated the folder or file, identification information of the user who has accessed the folder or the file, as described above. , By accumulating, storing, and managing date and time information accessed or read by a specific user to a corresponding folder or file, a folder modification history may be formed.

Here, the folder modification history and the file modification history can be updated independently by the user. Here, the user-independent file modification history for each file includes the user's file modification results for each file.

For example, when user A modifies file 1 in a folder, it affects all users of the folder participating in the folder, so that the folder modification history for each folder and the file modification history for each file are updated independently for each user.

The folder badge management unit 340 may accumulate in the folder revision history for each folder a specific number of update details for a specific period from the present to the past in the process of updating the folder revision history for each folder. For example, the folder badge management unit 340 may sequentially accumulate folder update dates a, b, c, and d, which occur multiple times with respect to folder 1, in a folder modification history for each folder. In addition, the folder badge management unit 340 may store and manage only a finite period and number of times based on the current point in time, for example, update details generated for the past 1 year or 3 months or up to 100 times, and may be reflected in the folder badge.

In one embodiment, the folder badge management unit 340 sets a specific reference value based on Equation 1 below in the process, and accumulates the folder update date according to the folder update history corresponding to the reference value in the folder modification history for each folder. I can.

For example, _assuming that m _av1 and m _av2 are detected as 2.6 and 1.4, and n ₀ is set to 50, the folder badge management unit 340 calculates n as 93 according to Equation 1 below and corresponds to The calculated n may be determined as a reference value for determining whether or not the folder update date is accumulated.

[Equation 1]

는 내부의 값에 대해 정수로 반올림 연산을 수행하는 연산을 의미한다.Here, m _av1 denotes the average number of updates per day for all folders in the folder management system during the first specific period (for example, for the last week), and m _av2 is in all folders in the folder management system. Represents the average number of updates generated per day during the second recent specific period (eg, during the last 3 months). And here, the second specific section may mean a time section longer than the first specific section. In addition, here, n ₀ represents the reference cumulative number (eg, 100) and may be set by a user or designer,

Means an operation that rounds the internal value to an integer.

When an update of a folder is detected in the process of updating the folder modification history for each folder, the folder badge management unit 340 may reflect user information of the corresponding user terminal 120 in the folder modification history for each folder together with the folder update date.

For example, the folder badge management unit 340 determines the folder update date and the user who generated the update details whenever a folder update such as file addition, file modification, or folder modification occurs for ?kder 1 It can be accumulated and saved together in the revision history.

The file badge management unit 350 may generate a file badge for each file of a corresponding user based on a file access time for each file of the user related to the user information and a file modification history for each file in the process of providing the file badge for each user. .

For example, the file badge management unit 350 is the file modification date of the file 1 from the file modification history of each of the files 1 and 2 in the folder 1 where the user A's access is allowed 2017.10.21 12:08:51, 2017.10 .24 10:32:08 and 2017.10.25 18:13:07 can be found. If it is confirmed that the date and time that the user A accessed the file 1 last time is at 13:35:05, 2017.10.22, the file badge management unit 350 operates on the 2017.10.24 10:32:08 and 2017.10.25 18:13:07 A file badge for the file 1 of the corresponding user A may be calculated as 2 by counting the file modifications that have occurred in.

Here, if user A accesses the folder but does not open file 1 in the folder, it cannot be determined that the modification of file 1 has been read, so even though the folder badge value is subtracted, the file badge value for file 1 is not subtracted. May not.

That is, if the number of unconfirmed revisions other than the revisions confirmed or read by a specific user among the total number of revisions of a specific file is counted, the result value becomes the value of the file badge of the corresponding file displayed to the user. To this end, according to an embodiment, a file badge value is calculated by comparing the time when a file is modified and the time when the user most recently accessed the file, and the number of modifications accumulated since the time when the user finally accessed the file. Can be reflected.

The file badge management unit 350 provides a file badge for each file for each user to the user terminal 120 to cause the user terminal 120 to display a list of files related to the folder. File badges can be made visible together.

The file badge management unit 350 detects reading of a file by the user terminal 120 and updates the badge of the corresponding user. In an embodiment, the file badge management unit 350 may detect access to a specific file by a corresponding user, update a file access time for each file, and update a file badge for each file of the corresponding user.

For example, when the user terminal 120 of the user [Jaeho Choi] opens or downloads a file named [Filtration Quality Security Plan], which is a file badge [3] among files in the folder, the file badge management unit 350 ] [How to secure filter quality] The file badge of the file for the user is updated from [3] to [0], and the folder badge management unit 340 may subtract the folder badge value of the folder in which the file is located by 3.

The file badge management unit 350 accumulates the file badges in the corresponding folder by accumulating and calculating the file badges for the corresponding folder and the subfolder of the user based on the file access time for each file and the file modification history for each file. Can be reflected in the count.

When an update notification unit 360 is newly created by a user terminal 120 modifying or changing a folder or creating, modifying, or changing a file or subfolder within a folder, the update information corresponding to each folder participant An alarm notifying that an update history for a corresponding folder has occurred may be provided to the user terminal 120.

More specifically, for example, a folder notepad associated with a folder or one of the participants of the folder chat room may modify the folder notepad or input a new chat message in the folder chat room. In this case, apart from the folder badge management unit 340 and the file badge management unit 350 calculating the folder badge value and the file badge value and updating the folder badge and the file badge, the update notification unit 360 updates the folder. You can immediately provide a notification message informing you that a new occurrence has occurred. Here, the notification message may be transmitted to the user terminal 120 of the folder participants except for the user who generated the corresponding update.

For example, when a specific file in a folder is modified by a user terminal 120, the update notification unit 360 may access the user terminal 120 of the folder participants or the update notification unit 360 has access rights to the specific folder. When a specific file in the folder is modified by one of the users of the folder, the folder update details are notified to the user terminals 120 of the other folder participants except the user who modified the file, and the specific contents of the folder update history, that is, You can also provide information about which files in the folder have been modified. That is, through the update notification, the update notification unit 360 includes: i) the fact that the update history has occurred, ii) information on which folder has been updated, and iii) detailed information on the specific update history (e.g., type of update) Alternatively, a notification message including one or more of the updated file name, etc.) may be immediately provided to the one or more user terminals 120.

The control unit 370 can control the overall operation of the processor 210, and the folder access management unit 310, the folder list providing unit 320, the file list providing unit 330, the folder badge management unit 340, the file badge Data flow between the management unit 350, the file management unit 360, and the update notification unit 360 may be controlled.

In addition, the folder chat room management unit 430 may update a file badge and a folder badge for a corresponding file and a folder to which the file belongs according to the creation and update of the chat room.

The task object management unit 440 may generate a task object by including one or more of a task indicator, a task processor, and task instruction content from an arbitrary user terminal 120, and receiving task processing details from the task processor. In particular, the task object management unit 420 may receive a task processing content that can be fed back through the task object and add it to the task object.

More specifically, the task object management unit 440 is a task including information on at least one of the task instruction content, task handler, task rating, and deadline written by the task directive from the user terminal 120 corresponding to the task directive Can receive. In addition, the task object management unit 440 may create a task object by encapsulating information on at least one of a task indicator, task handler, task instruction content, task processing content, task rating, and deadline for the task. You can associate an object with a folder, file, or folder notepad.

In addition, information necessary for the creation of the work object can be received through a chat room, a folder notepad, etc., and thus, in this case, the work object may be generated through a chat room or a folder notepad.

And the business object. As an independent work object message distinct from a text message or a multimedia message, it may be stored in a folder or associated with a folder or a file in the folder. In addition, the work object can be added to or associated with a folder notepad or a work chat room.

Here, the task manager is a user designated as a subject that processes the task by the task indicator, and may be one of a folder sharer or a folder participant. In addition, the task score may include one or more of an evaluation reservation score, which means the maximum upper limit of the evaluation score that can be evaluated by the task indicator when the task is completed, and an evaluation score that refers to an actually evaluated score. Accordingly, the task instructor can easily instruct the task processor through the folder and share the progress of the task.

Alternatively, according to an embodiment, when creating a work object through a folder notepad or a work chat room, the work indicator may share the work object through a folder notepad or a folder notepad or work chat room shared among participants in the work chat room. In addition, the task instructor can easily instruct the task, report the task progress, and evaluate the task by delivering the task object to the task processor within the folder notepad or task chat room.

You can update the task object in the folder notepad. The progress of the work through the work object, the change of the status of the work object, and the update of the status of the work object are recognized as the occurrence of the update details of the work object. Therefore, the number of update details not read by the user among the update details for the work object is calculated as the file badge for the work object, that is, the badge value of the work object badge. The work object management unit 440 generates a work object badge based on the work object badge value calculated through the above-described process. In addition, the work object badge value may be reflected in the folder badge value of the folder associated with the work object.

For example, the task progress status is'new', which indicates the state in which the work object is newly created,'in the middle,' which indicates the state in which the work processor is processing the work object, and the work indicator is the state in which the work processor has completed the work object. It may include'Completed' indicating a status of waiting for an interaction for completion of a task from and'Confirmation' indicating a status of confirming the completed work object of the work manager.

The task object management unit 440 may update the task progress status of the task object through a task object-related response implemented as a response relationship between the task indicator and the task processor. Here, the response related to the work object corresponds to a response related to the work object that can be responded by the user terminal 120 associated with the work indicator or the work processor. In addition, in an embodiment, it may include at least one of a task confirmation response, a task completion response, and a task evaluation response according to the current task processing state of the task object.

For example, when the task object management unit 440 updates the task progress status of a specific task object from'new' to'in progress', the file badge value for the task object increases by 1. Here, the task object management unit 440 may update the state of the task object by receiving a task interaction or task feedback from the user terminal 120 of the task processor about the task object. The task object management unit 440 may finally receive an evaluation on the task object from the task indicator by performing the process of the task object and assign it as a task score of the task object. The input of the work score through the work object may also be one of the update details for the work object.

[Equation 2]

5 is a view showing a folder list and a list of files and subfolders in a folder together with a folder badge and a file badge according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 5 exemplarily shows a folder list that can be displayed on the user terminal 120 and a list of files and subfolders in the folder according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the folder list shown in FIG. 5, a folder X 510, a folder Y 512, and a folder Z 514 are displayed. In addition, the folder badge value of the folder badge 520 of the folder X 510 is x, the folder badge value of the folder badge 522 of the folder Y 512 is y, and the folder badge 524 of the folder Z 514 The folder badge value of is z.

In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5, the folder X 510 includes a file A 530, a file B 532, a file C 534, a first sub-folder D 536, and a first sub-folder E ( 538) are included. In addition, the badge value of the file badge 540 of the file A 530 is a, the badge value of the file badge 542 of the file B 532 is b, and the badge value of the file badge 544 of the file C 534 is c. And, the badge value of the first subfolder badge 546 of the first subfolder D536 of the folder X510 is d, and the first subfolder of the first subfolder E538 of the folder X510 The badge value of the badges 548 is e.

Here, the first sub-folder D 536 includes a file F 550, a file G 552, and a second sub-folder H 554. The discharge value of the file badge 560 of the file F 550 is f, the discharge value of the file badge 562 of the file G 552 is g, and the second subfolder badge of the second subfolder H554 ( 564) is h.

In addition, a folder notepad 570, a folder chat room 572, and a work object 574 are each associated with the folder X510. Here, the file badge of the folder notepad 570, that is, the badge value of the folder notepad badge 580 is i, the file badge of the folder chat room 572, that is, the badge value of the folder chat room badge 582 is j, and the work object ( The file badge of 574), that is, the badge value of the work object badge 584 is k.

The folder badge value of the folder X 510 is x, which means that the total number of unconfirmed update details related to the folder X to be checked or read when the user performs a related task using the folder X is x. That is, x may include all the number of unconfirmed update details for files included in folder X 510 or related to folder X 510 and subfolders, folder notepads, folder chat rooms, and work objects.

In addition, the unconfirmed update details of the folder X 510 may further include the number of unconfirmed update details among the update details of the folder itself, in addition to the unconfirmed update details of subfolders or files. As described above, the update history for the folder itself may mean a case in which information about settings or properties of a folder is modified or changed, regardless of a file or subfolder included in the folder.

Therefore, x can be calculated by summing a, b, c, d, e, i, j and k, and x can be equal to or greater than the sum of a, b, c, d, e, i, j and k have. x may be the sum of a, b, c, d, e, i, j, and k, plus the number of unconfirmed update details among the update details for folder settings or folder properties for the folder X 510.

The first subfolder discharge value d of the first subfolder D (536) is the sum of the file discharge values f and g of the file F(550) and the file G(552) in the first subfolder, and the first subfolder It may be the sum of the folder badge value h of the second subfolder H 554 included in the folder D 536. Alternatively, d may be a value obtained by adding the sum of f, g, and h to the number of unconfirmed update details generated for the first subfolder D 536 itself.

That is, assuming that there is no update history for the folder itself or that it is not added to the folder badge value, x and d are

x=a+b+c+d+e+i+j+k,

d=f+g+h

Can be calculated as

Therefore, when the user terminal 120 approaches the folder X 510, the folder badge value x may not be subtracted by itself only by the fact of accessing. However, the folder badge value equal to the number of unconfirmed update details among the update details for the folder X itself (such as folder settings such as the name of the folder or the participant or the folder itself, such as folder property change), is the user terminal ( 120) can be deducted only by accessing the folder X 510.

When the user terminal 120 accesses the folder notepad I 570 associated with the folder X 510 and checks all update details, the folder badge value is deducted from x to I, and accesses the folder chat room J 572 When all the update details are checked, a folder badge value of j may be deducted from x, if all unconfirmed update details of the work object are checked by accessing the work object K (573). That is, if there is an unconfirmed update history to be checked in relation to the folder, the folder badge value may not be blocked by itself until it is determined that there has been an actual user confirmation and reading of the corresponding part. However, the method of subtracting the folder badge value may be set differently according to embodiments.

The folder badge value can also be subtracted for files or subfolders. When the user terminal 120 accesses the file A 530 and checks all unconfirmed update details of the file A 530, a is deducted to 0 and the folder badge value x may also be deducted by x-a. The same can be applied to the files B 532 and C 534.

In addition, when the user terminal 120 approaches the first sub-folder D 536, a folder badge value equal to d may be deducted immediately, but according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 120 is a first sub-folder. Even after accessing the D 536, the folder discharge value x of the folder X 510 may be subtracted by f and g only when the file F 550 and the file G 552 are actually accessed and the unconfirmed update details are read.

6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a process in which the folder badge management unit of the present invention manages the update details of a folder in a sequential vectorized list in a time series.

In one embodiment, the folder badge management unit 340 manages a time stamp, that is, access date and time record information of the user terminal 120 as a time displacement parameter for each user and for each folder for each folder on the folder management system. Therefore, it can be reflected in the folder badge for each user folder. Here, the time stamp may include one or more of a folder generation time, a folder modification date, and a folder access date.

For example, the folder badge management unit 340 may generate a folder badge for each user folder defined through a time stamp for each user folder as shown in FIG. 6A, and access each folder for each user. Or, whenever modification occurs, the folder badge for each user folder can be updated.

In addition, the folder badge management unit 340 may calculate and update a folder badge for each folder for each user based on the folder badge for each folder for each user updated in real time, as shown in FIG. 6B. If the user of the user terminal 120 requesting access to the list of folders is user A, folder badges 0, 1, and 2 related to the folders 1, 2, and 3 may be provided to the user terminal 120.

If the folder badge management unit 340 confirms the access right to the folder 1 of the user terminal 120 associated with the user A, it is modified twice with the creation date 2017.10.21 12:08:51 from the folder modification history for the folder 1 It can detect the date 2017.10.22 09:43:20 and 2017.10.25 11:08:22, and by detecting the most recent access date 2017.10.22 09:43:20 of the user A, which occurred after the access date and time. By counting the number of modifications made once, the folder badge of the user A can be calculated as 1. This means that a total of one update history has occurred in the folder by another user since the user A last opened the folder.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a process in which the processor of the present invention manages modified content as a sequential vectorized list in time series.

In FIG. 7, the processor 210 may detect an update history such as modification or change of a folder by an arbitrary user terminal 120 and manage the folder as a sequential list vectorized in time series based on the creation date and the modification date. have.

Here, the content may include not only a general file object, but also a folder, a subfolder, a folder notepad, a folder chat room, a work object, and a file associated with the work object, as described above. In addition, the content may be a specific part such as a folder or a file. In particular, the modified part of a file or folder may be referred to as content.

In one embodiment, when a folder is created, the processor 210 may vectorize a change process of a plurality of contents constituting a corresponding folder according to a time-series order. Whenever addition, modification or deletion occurs, the corresponding content may be linked and managed as a vector with at least some of the existing content.

For example, when the generated folder is sequentially composed of Content 1, Content 2, and Content 3, the processor 210 may manage the corresponding contents as a vectorized sequential list of Content 1-Content 2-Content 3. And, if a modification is detected in which content 1 is modified to content 1'' by the folder user and content 4 is added between content 1 and content 2 at the modification date a after the creation of the folder, content 1 is changed to content 1''. Vector connection and vector connection between the content 1 and the content 2 to the content 4.

The processor 210 may detect the access and read of the corresponding folder by the user terminal 120, and track the contents in the file modified since the most recent access date and time of the corresponding file by the user.

More specifically, when an attempt to read the folder is detected or detected by one of the folder users, the processor 210 checks the last access time for the folder by the user, and By analyzing the managed folder as a vectorized sequential list, contents modified after the access date can be detected.

For example, if the processor 210 determines that the user's last access date to the folder is between the modified date and time a and the modified date and time b, the content 2” (modified), content 5 (added), content 3 (deleted) and Content 6 (addition) may be detected as the content in the folder recently modified in relation to the user.

In addition, the processor 210 provides the modified contents in the folder tracked in the process of providing the folder or folder list to the user terminal 120, so that when the user terminal 120 opens and displays the folder, the modified contents in the folder The part can be displayed by applying a specific color, a specific font, or a specific size different from the rest of the unmodified part.

For example, when the user terminal 120 opens and displays a corresponding folder, the processor 210 may use the content 2” (modified), content 5 (added), and content tracked as the content in the recently modified folder in the above example. The parts corresponding to 3 (Delete) and Content 6 (Add) are displayed in red, so that the user can visually and intuitively recognize the recently modified part of the entire file from the user's point of view, providing convenience when checking can do.

Referring to FIG. 8, a process of generating a folder badge by the folder management apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, the folder badge may be a symbol indicating the number of folder update details that have not yet been read by the user terminal when a file that is allowed to be accessed by the user terminal is uploaded or updated and a file update history occurs. In addition, in a specific folder, the number of folder update details that have not yet been read by the user terminal may be a folder badge value displayed through a folder badge of the folder.

Update details are generated for the folder (S610). The folder management device 110 calculates the number of update details generated for the folder, and calculates the number of unconfirmed update details for each user (S620). Here, the number of updates made to the folder itself, that is, the number of updates to the folder property or setting change, is calculated excluding the update details generated for the subfolders or files included in the folder.

In addition, the folder management apparatus 110 determines whether there are more contents included in the folder or whether an update history has occurred in the contents included in the folder. First, the folder management device 110 determines whether a file is included in the folder (S630).

When a file is included in the folder, the folder management device 110 may calculate a badge value of a file badge for the file. Calculation of the badge value of the file badge for the file may be calculated by counting the number of update details that have not been confirmed by the user among the accumulated number of update details generated for the file. That is, the badge value of the file badge may be calculated by subtracting the number of update details judged to have been read by the user by accessing the corresponding file from the accumulated number of all generated update details (S640).

Then, it is determined whether a subfolder is included in the folder (S650). When the subfolder is included, the number of unconfirmed update details for the subfolder is counted, and the badge value of the subfolder badge is calculated (S660).

If the number of unconfirmed update details generated for the folder itself, the badge value of the file badge for the file in the folder, and the badge value of the subfolder magazine for the subfolder in the folder are all calculated, the folder management device 110 The badge value of the folder badge may be calculated by summing some or all of them (S670).

The folder management apparatus 110 may generate a folder badge for a folder by using the calculated badge value of the folder badge (S680) and provide it to a user terminal to display the folder badge along with the folder list.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a folder management method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

When the user terminal 120 approaches the folder management system, the folder management device 110 detects the access of the user terminal 120 (S710). The folder management device 110 checks the user identification information of the user terminal 120 and the range of authority, and displays a folder list including folders accessible to the user terminal 120 (S720).

In this process, the folder management device 110 may first verify whether the corresponding user terminal has access rights to the corresponding folder. Here, user terminal information, user identification information of a user corresponding to the user terminal, and the like may be used. That is, the folder management device 110 receives or obtains the user identification information of the user corresponding to the user terminal 120 from the user terminal, and whether the user terminal 120 has access rights to the folder management system, and each You can check the access rights to the folder. In addition, the folder management device 110 may display a folder list composed of folders that the user terminal 120 has confirmed to have access rights.

In this case, when the folder list is displayed, the folder badges of each folder may be displayed together. In addition, the folder management device 110 selects a folder that is recommended to the user terminal 120 to check first according to priority. You can also provide information on urgent processing tasks or folders that are recommended to be checked first.

For example, a folder with a folder badge exceeding a certain threshold, a folder containing a business object with an imminent processing deadline through information on the business processing deadline included in the business object, the number of business objects or folder notepads created in association with the folder A folder that exceeds a preset threshold may serve as a criterion for selecting a folder for urgent processing or for which priority confirmation is recommended.

Thereafter, the user terminal 120 accesses one of the folders included in the displayed folder list (S730).

First, the folder management apparatus 110 determines whether the folder badge value will be subtracted only by the fact that the user terminal 120 has accessed the corresponding folder. That is, it is determined whether unconfirmed update details exist among the update details generated for the folder itself (S740). Unconfirmed update details accumulated for files or subfolders located in the folder are not read only by accessing the folder, but unconfirmed update history due to changes in the settings or properties of the folder itself before accessing the user terminal 120 When the terminal 120 accesses the folder, it may be regarded as being read.

Therefore, among the unconfirmed update details for the folder itself, the unconfirmed update details accumulated before the user terminal 120 accesses the folder is deducted from the folder badge value by the number of the number of unconfirmed updates accumulated before the user terminal 120 accesses the folder. (S750).

Thereafter, the user terminal 120 may access a subfolder or file in the folder (S760). The folder management device 110 determines whether there is an unconfirmed update history for a lower folder or file (S770). If the file accessed by the user terminal 120 has unconfirmed update details accumulated before the user terminal 120 accessed, the folder badge value may be subtracted by the number by accessing the file and reading the unconfirmed update details. have. In addition, when the user terminal 120 accesses the subfolder, unconfirmed update details accumulated in the subfolder existed before the user terminal 120 accessed, and the user terminal 120 accesses the subfolder and unconfirmed update details. When is read, the number of unconfirmed update details read by the user terminal 120 may be subtracted from the folder badge value (S780).

Through the above-described process, when the user terminal 120 accesses a folder, a subfolder, and a file to read unconfirmed update details, the folder management device 110 subtracts the total number of read unconfirmed update details from the folder badge value. Thus, the final folder badge value according to the access and reading of the user terminal 120 may be calculated (S790). In addition, the folder management apparatus may update the folder badge of the folder according to the finally calculated folder badge value.

In addition, when the unconfirmed update details are accumulated again after the user terminal 120 approaches, the badge value of the folder badge increases by the number of additionally accumulated unconfirmed update details. That is, the folder management device 110 detects the update history for the folder and reflects it in the folder modification history, and the folder modification history reflecting the update history, user identification information, and the last access date and time information to the folder of the user terminal 120, etc. You can create a folder badge using and continuously update it.

Although described above with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present application, those skilled in the art will variously modify the present application within the scope not departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the following claims. And it will be appreciated that it can be changed.
