Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing a method for managing a remote control authority according to an exemplary embodiment.

3, in step S110, the server 100 may register an administrator account. The manager of the controlling device may register his/her account information in the server 100. Here, the administrator may refer to a subject having the authority to remotely control at least one of the control target devices under the management of the server 100. The administrator may directly register an administrator account using the input/output interface of the server 100. As another example, the administrator may register an administrator account by transmitting account information to the server 100 using another computing device.

The server 100 may store information on the administrator account in the DB during the process of registering the administrator account. The information on the manager account may include at least one of personal information of the manager, information on the affiliated organization, and e-mail account information of the manager. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the information on the manager account may further include identification information of the control device 400 used by the manager for remote control, information on the manager's contact information, and the like. As another example, the information on the administrator account may include identification information of a device used by the administrator. The identification information of the device used by the administrator may include the MAC address or IP address of the device used by the administrator. In this case, the file name of the agent file may include information on the MAC address or IP address of the device used by the administrator.

In step S120, the server 100 may generate an agent file corresponding to the administrator account. The server 100 may determine the file name of the agent file based on the administrator account information. The server 100 may determine the file name of the agent file by using the administrator's email account information. For example, if the administrator's email account is "hong@gildong.com" and the name of the operating organization of the server 100 providing the service is "abcd", the file name of the agent file is "SID=abcd;CID=hong_gildong.com_cpn" Can be determined.

For example, the agent file name may include the name of the administrator's organization, not the name of the operating organization of the server 100.

The server 100 may configure the agent file so that the control target device 300 generates information included in the access request signal by referring to the agent file name. The access request signal may include identification information of the control target device 300 and manager information having management authority for the control target device. For example, when the controlling device 300 executes the agent program, the controlling device 300 may extract identification information of the manager managing the controlling device by referring to information included in the file name of the agent file. As described above, when the control target device 300 creates an agent file having a file name of "SID=abcd;CID=hong_gildong.com_cpn", the control target device 300 manages the control target device 300 by referring to the file name. It can be extracted that the email account of the administrator who has the authority to do so is hong@gildong.com. In addition, the control target device 300 may extract information on an organization to which the administrator belongs from the domain "gildong.com" of the administrator's email account "hong@gildong.com".

In the above example, it has been exemplarily described that the administrator account information is reflected in the file name of the agent file, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The server 100 may allow administrator account information to be included in another part of the agent file. The server 100 may configure the agent file so that the control target device 300 refers to the other part of the agent file and generates information included in the access request signal.

In step S130, the control target device 300 may transmit login information through an administrator account. The server 100 may receive login information. The login information may include an administrator's account and security information (e.g. an electronic signature or password) about the administrator's account.

The server 100 may provide a user interface for downloading an agent file to the control target device 300. The server 100 may identify an administrator capable of managing a control target device from login information, and provide a user interface for downloading an agent file corresponding to an administrator account.

In step S140, the control target device 300 may transmit interaction information on the user interface to the server 100. The server 100 may transmit an agent file corresponding to the manager account to the control target device 300 by reflecting the interaction information. The control target device 300 may receive an agent file corresponding to the administrator account from the server 100. The file name of the agent file may contain the administrator's e-mail account information.

In step S150, the control target device 300 may install an agent program using the received agent file. In step S160, the control target device 300 may transmit a connection request signal through execution of the installed file. The control target device 300 may use manager information included in a file name of an agent file to generate a connection request signal. The administrator information may include email account information of the administrator or identification information of a device used by the administrator. The identification information of the device used by the administrator may include MAC address information or IP address information of the device used by the administrator. The control target device 300 may include identification information and manager information of the control target device 300 in the access request signal. The identification information of the control target device 300 may include a MAC address or an IP address of the control target device 300. The server 100 may extract identification information and manager information of the control target device 300 from the access request signal of the control target device 300.

In step S170, the server 100 may update the remote control authority DB by analyzing the received access request signal. The server 100 may associate identification information of the control target device 300 with administrator information having a control authority for the control target device 300 and store it in a remote control authority DB. The administrator can designate a user for each device to be controlled through the user interface provided when logging in through the administrator account. The server 100 may store and manage information on a user list registered in an administrator account. The server 100 may provide a user interface for displaying the user list for devices accessing the server 100 through an administrator account. The administrator may designate any one of the users included in the user list as a user of the control target device 300. The server 100 may store e-mail account information of a user of the control target device 300. If the remote control connection is not allowed, the server 100 may request the remote control approval through the e-mail account of the user designated for the control target device 300. That is, by registering any one of the users registered in advance for the administrator account as a user of the control target device, it is possible to grant remote control approval authority to a legitimate user.

The server 100 may assign an ID, which is a logical identifier, to the control target device 300. The ID of the controlling device 300 may be associated with a MAC address or an IP address of the controlling device 300. That is, the remote control authority DB may include a MAC address field other than the IP address field of the control target device 300 or both. The server 100 may identify the control target device 300 using the ID. The identification information of the control target device 300 may be associated with a user's email account and stored in a remote control DB. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. The remote control DB may include a field related to identification information of a device used by the administrator instead of a field for the user's email account.

According to the above-described embodiment, the server 100 generates an agent file corresponding to the administrator account in advance, and the control target device 300 downloads and executes the agent file, thereby automatically Information on management authority can be set. The controlling device 300 may easily transmit information necessary for setting management authority to the server 100 by referring to the file name of the agent file or other part of the agent file in this process.
