Description

File sharing device and method based on work object

The present invention relates to a file sharing technology, and more particularly, to a file sharing technology by granting access to a file to a plurality of users through a specific type of object associated with the file.

In general, files are stored and managed in a folder system in a user's hardware device or a folder system in the cloud. In particular, when multiple users have authority to the cloud or hardware device, the stored file may be shared by multiple users. However, in this case, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to individually set sharers or access rights for each file. Therefore, various technologies are being developed for file sharing by file unit rather than by folder unit sharing.

Also, Internet messengers are often used to transfer and share files. The Internet messenger corresponds to an application that transmits a message including text or graphics between users, and may be implemented as a chat room in which a plurality of users participate. In an embodiment, the Internet messenger may include a mobile messenger performed in a mobile environment (eg, a mobile phone), and may include, for example, KakaoTalk, Line, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, and the like. And for file transmission and sharing, such Internet messengers are increasingly being used in various ways.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the file sharing system 100 based on a work object includes a file sharing device 110 based on a work object and one or more user terminals 120 . The user terminal 120 may include a first user terminal 120a, a second user terminal 120b, a third user terminal 120c, and a fourth user terminal 120d.

And here, the user terminal 120 may include a file sharer terminal and a file share target terminal. The file sharer terminal may be a terminal of a user who requests file sharing by specifying which file to share with whom, that is, the subjective and object scope of file sharing. And the file sharing target terminal is a terminal of a user designated to receive a specific file to be shared by the file sharer. Some of the first to fourth user terminals 120a to 120d may be file sharer terminals, and the rest may be file sharing target terminals.

However, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the first user terminal 120a shares a file with the second user terminal 120b through a work object for convenience, and the first user terminal 120a is a file sharer terminal; In addition, a case where the second to fourth user terminals 120b to 120d is a file sharing target terminal will be described as an example.

When the file sharer is extended through a work object-dependent chat room, which will be described later, the third user terminal 120c may be a user who receives a share target file by being added as a conversation participant to the work object-dependent chat room. In addition, when the file sharer is extended through the work object independent chat room, which will be described later, the fourth user terminal 120d may be a user who is added as a conversation participant to the work object independent chat room and receives the share target file. However, the first to fourth user terminals 120a to 120d may be collectively referred to as the user terminals 120 only when there is no practical benefit of distinction.

The work object-based file sharing device 110 corresponds to a computing device that can be connected to at least one of the first user terminal 120a and the second user terminal 120b through a network. In an embodiment, the work object-based file sharing apparatus 110 may manage at least one member group in which a user associated with the first user terminal 120a is included as a member.

In an embodiment, the work object-based file sharing device 110 may be connected to the user terminal 120 through a shared folder agent installed in the user terminal 120 , where the shared folder agent is the user terminal 120 .

In another embodiment, at least one of the first to fourth user terminals 120a to 120d may be a desktop, and may be connected to the work object-based file sharing device 110 through the Internet.

Here, the first user terminal 120a has the right to access and/or read the file to be shared, but the second user terminal 120b has the right to access or read the file to be shared before sharing the file through the work object. Assume that you do not have .

And here, the file sharer or file share target corresponding to the file sharer terminal (the first user terminal 120a) and the file sharing target terminal (the second to fourth user terminals 120b to 120d), the folder participating in the shared folder They may be sharing participants or file sharing participants having access to the shared file. Here, the shared folder in which the file sharer and the file share target participate may be different. Also, the shared files to which the file sharer and the person to whom the file is shared have access rights do not necessarily have to be common.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the file sharer may be a folder participant participating in the shared folder in which the sharing target file is located, and the file sharing target may not be a folder participant of the corresponding folder. Therefore, the file share target shares files in a folder that does not have permission by the file sharer (the first user terminal 120a) with limited permission through the business object-based file sharing device and method according to an embodiment of the present invention. It may be temporarily shared with the target terminal (at least one of the second to fourth user terminals 120b to 120d).

Therefore, with respect to the file to be shared, the file sharer has the authority, but the file share target may be a user who does not have the authority to access or read the file. The file to be shared may be located in a shared folder provided by the work object-based file sharing device 110, but is not limited thereto. The file to be shared may be located in a shared folder provided by the work object-based file sharing device 110 or in a personal folder of the file sharer.

3 is a block diagram of the processor 210 in the work object-based file sharing device 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 3 , the processor 210 may include a file sharing request management unit 310 , a work object management unit 320 , a control unit 330 , and a chat room management unit 340 . However, the processor 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention does not have to include all of the above components at the same time, and according to each embodiment, some of the above components may be omitted, and some of the above components may be omitted. Or it may optionally include all of them.

The file sharing request processing unit 310 may receive a file sharing request from the first user terminal 120a, which is a file sharer terminal. The file sharing request includes information on the target file to be shared and information on the file sharing target specified by the first user terminal 120a. That is, the file sharing request may include information on which file to share with whom, and may also include a signal for requesting creation of a work object for file sharing.

Therefore, when the file sharing request processing unit 310 receives the file sharing request from the first user terminal 120a, the identification information of the file sharing target file and the identification information of the second user terminal 120b, which is the file sharing target, from the file sharing request information may be extracted and provided to the business object management unit 320 and the control unit 330 .

The work object management unit 320 may create a work object. The business object to which the corresponding business object is related and who is the participant of the corresponding business object can be specified by the file sharing request described above. The business object management unit 320 is related to the sharing target file, and is related to the sharing target file, according to the information capable of identifying the sharing target file in the file sharing request information provided by the file sharing request processing unit 310 and the file sharing target. It is possible to create a business object in which the second user participates.

Here, the work object is designated by a work directive, a work directive, etc. that instructs a shared target file or work related to the work object, and a work processor, task It includes a person who is a user who is neither a director nor a business manager, but is a user who is partially related to the job, the job instructions indicating the contents of the job requested by the job director, and the job processing including the processing in accordance with the job instructions. , an object created by encapsulating these information. A user included in a work object may be collectively referred to as a work participant by performing work related to the work object and the file to be shared, or directly/indirectly participating in the work, including the work director, work manager, and work related person.

Therefore, when the user participates in the work object, it may mean that the user is included as one or more of a work indicator, a work processor, and a work related person of the work object. That is, when the first user and the second user participate in the work object, it may mean that the first user and the second user are included in the work manager or the work related person of the work object. For example, when the work object management unit 320 creates a work object, the first user may be included or added as a work manager or work related person, and the second user as a work manager or work related participant in the work object. .

The control unit 330 is a shared folder type managed by the work object-based file sharing device 110, shared by one or more folder sharers, and accessed by the user terminal 120 corresponding to one or more folder sharers. You can provide a list of files in the file system and manage user access rights.

When the user terminal 120 accesses or attempts to access the shared folder managed by the file sharing device 110 based on the work object, the control unit 330 detects the approach of the user terminal 120 or sends a notification signal for this. can receive More specifically, the control unit 330 may receive a request for access to the shared folder from the user terminal 120 , and determine whether to allow the access of the user terminal 120 by checking the access right of the user. can

Alternatively, when the user terminal 120 accesses or attempts to access the shared folder managed by the work object-based file sharing device 110 , the control unit 330 controls a file corresponding to the authority of the user terminal 120 , that is, the user. The terminal 120 may select only files to which the terminal 120 has the right to access or read and display them to be listed in the file system, or may provide a list of the files.

Here, the control unit 330 may obtain user information associated with the user terminal 120 or identification information of the user terminal, and the like, and check the access right to the folder of the user terminal 120 . The controller 330 may allow access only when it is confirmed that the user or the user terminal 120 has the right to access the shared folder.

In addition, when the work object is materialized in the second user terminal 120b, the control unit 330 may provide a file object corresponding to the shared target file to the second user terminal 120b through the corresponding work object.

As the work object for a specific file is created, the first user terminal 120a and the second user terminal 120b are shared through the work object by the first user and the second user participating as work participants of the work object. share files. In particular, the second user who is a file sharing target has access to the sharing target file by receiving the sharing target file through the work object even if the sharing target file is a file that the second user terminal 120b does not have access to in the past. It is possible to acquire even limited privileges. In addition, the second user can share the corresponding sharing target file with the first user who is a file sharer.

Meanwhile, the sharing target file may be a file shared by users other than the file sharer (the first user terminal 120a) and the file sharing target (the second to fourth user terminals 120b to 120d, etc.). In particular, it may be assumed that the file to be shared is a file located in a specific shared folder, and other users participate in the shared folder as folder participants. In this case, the second to fourth users who are the file sharing targets are not included in the folder participants of the corresponding shared folder.

In this case, the file to be shared may be modified and changed by terminals of other users except for the file sharer and the terminal of the file sharing target (second to fourth user terminals 120b to 120d). And, according to an embodiment, the update details due to the modification or change of the sharing target file by the folder participant may be reflected in the work object in real time.

Here, the update of a file may be an example of an update in which all changes occurring in relation to a file, such as when a file is newly created, modified, changed, or edited, or when access rights to the file are changed, occur in the file. The update history of the file indicates specific content changed as the file is updated.

That is, if the shared target file is modified by a third party with legitimate authority other than the business object participant, including the folder participant of the shared folder, an update history including one or more of modification or change occurs in the shared target file. do. In this case, the control unit 330 may add a new file object corresponding to the updated sharing target file to the work object, encapsulate it again, and provide it to the work object participants through the work object. That is, if a third party other than the business object participant modifies the sharing target file by legitimate authority, the control unit 330 reflects the modified version of the sharing target file to the business object in real time, and the business object participant terminals 120a, 120b, 120c or 120d).

In addition, when the file to be shared is updated, the control unit 330 records when and through which user's terminal the corresponding update details are generated, and information about the update of the file through the work object, that is, the corresponding sharing It is possible to provide information on the subject of the update, the update time, and the like along with the update history of the target file.

And, as exemplified above, a third party, other than the work object participant, who has permission to access the file to be shared, may be at least some of the participants in the folder of the shared folder in which the file to be shared was originally located. And the file sharer may be at least one of the folder participants.

In this case, the shared folder in which the target file to be shared is originally located in the file system of the file sharing device 100 based on the work object will be referred to as an original folder for convenience. In this case, the folder participant of the original folder, the file sharer, and the file sharing target may have different paths or rights to access the shared target file.

A file to be shared is located in a shared folder, that is, an original folder, and one or more users including a file sharer participate in the shared folder as folder participants. In this case, the business object participant, that is, the file sharer and the file sharing target, can access the sharing target file through the business object materialized in their respective terminals. And folder participants can access the shared file through the shared folder, that is, the original folder.

Accordingly, the file sharer who is a folder participant can access the shared target file through both the work object and the shared folder (ie, the original folder). And if the file sharer is not a folder participant, the file sharer is not allowed to access the shared folder, which is the original folder, or to the file to be shared through the shared folder. A file sharing target who is not a folder participant can access the shared target file only through the work object, and a folder participant who is not a business object participant can access the shared target file only through the shared folder, which is the original folder.

The control unit 330 grants the file sharing target among the business object participants the right to at least one of viewing and modifying the sharing target file, and viewing, modifying, and You can grant permission for one or more of the deletions. That is, when a file to be shared is shared through the work object, the file sharing target may not be granted the right to delete the file to be shared.

That is, whether or not to delete the shared target file shared through the work object can be determined by a pre-designated user among the folder participants or file sharers of the original folder. In particular, when the corresponding share target file is deleted from the shared folder that is the original folder, the work object and/or the share target file provided for sharing through the work object may be deleted or deactivated.

In addition, when a new task instruction or task processing content is added to the task object, the control unit 330 may provide an alarm for this to the task object participant terminals (the first to fourth user terminals 120a to 120d). The control unit 330 is the task object participant terminals (first to fourth) having the right to access the shared object file when one or more of the task instruction, task processing, or update details of the sharing object file is newly generated. A notification message may be transmitted to the user terminals 120a to 120d) or to the terminals of the folder participants. Alternatively, the notification message may be transmitted to the user terminal 120 through the network input/output unit 240 .

The chat room management unit 340 is a work object-dependent chat room that is related to a work object or is a chat room included in the work object, or a work object that is opened outside the work object without being associated with the work object, but is a chat room in which the work object is transmitted as one of the chat messages. Manage independent chat rooms.

First, the chat room management unit 340 may create and manage a work object-dependent chat room according to a request of the first user terminal 120a and/or the second user terminal 120b participating in the work object or as preset in the work object. have. The chat room management unit 340 may receive a chat room creation request from the first user terminal 120a or the second user terminal 120b, which is the terminal of the work object participant. The chat room creation request may include chat room participant information, permission setting information for the chat room participant's shared target file, and the like.

According to the chat room participant information included in the chat room creation request, the chat room participant of the work object-dependent chat room may be determined. For example, the first user terminal 120a may transmit a chat room creation request to the work object-based file sharing device 110 by designating the first user, the second user, and the third user as chat room participants.

The chat room creation request transmitted from the first user terminal 120a is transmitted to the chat room management unit 340 through the user input/output unit 230 or the network input/output unit 240 . The chat room management unit 340 creates a work object-dependent chat room in which the first user, the second user, and the third user are included as chat room participants, and sends a chat room participation request or chat room invitation notification to the second user terminal 120b and the third It is transmitted to the user terminal (120c). The chat room participation request or chat room invitation notification signal for the work object-dependent chat room may include an access path to the corresponding work object and the work object-dependent chat room.

When a chat room participant of the work object-dependent chat room is added, the chat room management unit 340 uses the identification information of the third user and the third user terminal 120c to give the third user terminal 120c access to the work object-dependent chat room. , and access to the work object through the work object-dependent chat room and the access to and reading of the shared file through the work object can be granted. Alternatively, the chat room management unit 340 or the control unit 330 permits access, viewing, etc. to a work object or a shared target file for access through a work object-dependent chat room even if there is no identification information of the third user terminal 120c Security and authentication information of the work object or shared target file can be set in advance.

Accordingly, the third user or the third user terminal 120c may be added as a file sharing target terminal or a file sharing target terminal.

Alternatively, the file sharing target can be added through a work object independent chat room. When the work object is provided as one of the chat messages in the work object independent chat room, the chat room management unit 340 grants access to the work object and/or the shared target file using the identification information of the chat room participants of the chat room, and You can add people to share with.

For example, in a work object independent chat room where the chat room participants are the first user, the second user, and the fourth user, a work object related to a shared target file may be transmitted as a work chat message. And in this case, the first user terminal 120a and the second user terminal 120b are already participating in the corresponding work object, and have already obtained the right to access, read, etc. the file to be shared through the corresponding work object. Assume The chat room management unit 340 may add a fourth user who is a chat room participant who will receive the corresponding work object through the work object independent chat room as a file sharing target.

The chat room management unit 340 may use the identification information of the fourth user terminal 120d to grant the fourth user terminal 120d access to the work object and/or the file to be shared through the work object independent chat room. have. Accordingly, the fourth user terminal 120d can access the work object through the work object independent chat room and access and view the shared target file through the work object.

Alternatively, the chat room management unit 340 or the control unit 330, regardless of the identification information of the fourth user terminal 120d, for access through the work object independent chat room, access or view the work object or the file to be shared, etc. You can set the security and authentication information of the work object or shared target file in advance to allow it.

Accordingly, the fourth user or the fourth user terminal 120d may be added as a file sharing target or file sharing target terminal for the corresponding sharing target file and work object.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a file sharing method based on a work object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The work object-based file sharing device 110 receives a file sharing request from the first user terminal 120a (S410). The first user terminal 120a is a terminal of a user who shares a file with another user, ie, a file sharing target, through a work object for file sharing based on the sharing right for a specific file. The second user terminal 120b is a user designated to receive the file sharing by the first user terminal 120a. The first user terminal 120a and the second user terminal 120b are user terminals connected to the work object-based file sharing device by wire or wireless, and may each include one or more user terminals.

In the file sharing request transmitted by the first user terminal 120a, information on the subject of file sharing, that is, information on the file sharing target indicating who wants to share the file with whom, and information on the object of file sharing, that is, which Information about a share target file indicating whether the file is to be shared may be included.

In addition, the work object-based file sharing device 110 creates a work object associated with the file to be shared according to the designation by the file sharing request (S415). The work object-based file sharing device 110 creates a work object associated with a specified share target file in response to a file sharing request. When the work object is created, the first user and the second user designated as the file sharing target by the file sharing request of the first user are included as one or more of a work indicator, a work manager, and a work related person. In addition to this, the work object may be encapsulated by including work instructions and work processing details.

In addition, the file sharing apparatus 110 based on the work object may provide the work object to the first user terminal 120a (S420). And the work object-based file sharing device 110 transmits a work object participation notification, a work object participation request signal, etc. to the second user terminal 120b that has been designated as a file sharing target and has been requested to participate in the work object, can be provided (S425).

Here, providing the file to be shared does not mean that the second user terminal 120b receives and downloads the file to be shared and permanently stores the file in the memory area of the second user terminal 120b. The file to be shared may be provided to the second user terminal 120b to be materialized and output, and may be modified, changed, or updated according to the authority setting of the file sharing target. However, permanent storage in the memory in the second user terminal 120b may be limited. This is to prevent files to be shared from being updated, retained, retransmitted, or distributed beyond the control of the file sharer. And due to this point, the embodiment of the present invention can be distinguished from the transmission and sharing of files through e-mail or a general messenger.

Therefore, the file to be shared can be transmitted in the form of work processing or work instructions within the work object, and can be encapsulated within the work object. In this case, when the file sharing target modifies or changes the sharing target file, the updating of the file may also be performed in a window provided in association with the work object. In addition, the update history and the updated new version of the shared target file may be included in the business object and stored in the memory 220 .

Alternatively, the file to be shared may be displayed through a separate window dependent or related to the work object, reproduced or output through a file reproduction tool, and may be updated, such as modification, change, and the like. Even in this case, the update history and the updated new version of the shared target file are included in the business object, may be recorded in the form of business processing contents, and may be stored in the memory 220 .

The second user terminal 120b may access the work object requested to participate ( S430 ). The second user terminal 120b may access the work object through the access path to the work object included in the work object participation notification or participation request provided from the work object-based file sharing device 110 . In addition, according to a request of the second user terminal 120b or the setting of a work object, the work object-based file sharing apparatus 110 may provide a file to be shared to the second user terminal 120b (S435).

The second user terminal 120b may receive the sharing target file through the provided work object and materialize the shared target file (S440). In addition, when the authority for updating the sharing target file is granted to the second user terminal 120b, the second user terminal 120b may update the sharing target file (S445).

The updated sharing target file or the update history of the sharing target file is transmitted to the business object-based file sharing device 110 (S450). In addition, the update history of the sharing target file and the updated file object of the sharing target file may be temporarily or permanently stored in the memory 220 of the business object-based file sharing device 110 . And the updated sharing target file and/or the update details of the sharing target file may be reflected in the work object (S455). That is, information on when and how the sharing target file was updated on which user's terminal is additionally provided to the work object. may be included.

In addition, the update history and the updated new version of the shared target file are added to the work object as work processing details or work instructions, and the work object can be re-encapsulated with the new version of the shared target file added (S455).

The work object-based file sharing apparatus 110 provides an updated version of the work object or the update history of the file to be shared to the first user terminal 120a (S460). The first user terminal 120a may access the work object updated by the second user terminal 120b or the updated share target file to view the modified part (S465). After checking the updated content, the first user may transmit a message or email to be transmitted to the second user terminal 120b, and feedback such as re-updating the shared target file to the work object-based file sharing device 110 (S470). ). Such feedback may be encapsulated again by being additionally included in the work object in the form of work processing details or new work instructions by the work object-based file sharing device 110 .

5 is a diagram illustrating a file sharing method based on a work object according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , on the work object-based file sharing system 100 , the work object-based file sharing device 110 and the work object participant terminals 120a and 120b , that is, the first user terminal 120a and the second 2 The signal flow between the user terminals 120b will be described.

First, the first user terminal 120a transmits a file sharing request to the work object-based file sharing device 110 (S510). The file sharing request may include identification information of a file to be shared and identification information of a second user or second user terminal 120b who is a file sharing target.

The work object-based file sharing device 110 receives the file sharing request, and confirms the sharing target file and the file sharing target (S520). Then, it is checked whether a business object associated with the corresponding shared target file already exists ( 530 ). As a result of the check, if there is no work object associated with the file to be shared, a work object for file sharing is created ( S540 ). Here, when the work object-based file sharing device 110 creates a new work object, the second user is included as one or more of a work processor, a work indicator, and a work related person to create a corresponding work object.

If there is a work object that has already been created for the file to be shared, the first user will either create a new work object for file sharing through the work object-based file sharing device 110, or if there is an existing work object can be used to select whether to share the file (S535). When it is desired to create a new work object for file sharing (S535), the work object-based file sharing device 110 may set the second user to participate in the work object to create a new work object (S540).

When a new work object is not created ( S535 ), the file sharing apparatus 110 based on the work object may share the file to be shared with the second user terminal 120b by using the existing work object. That is, the work object-based file sharing device 110 may add the second user as a file sharing target by adding the second user as one of a work indicator, a work processor, or a work related person to the already created work object ( S545 ).

The file sharing device 110 based on the work object requests the second user terminal 120b to participate in the work object or transmits a signal notifying the invitation, and provides an access path to the work object or provides the work object to the second user. It can be provided to the terminal 120b (S550).

The second user terminal 120b may access the sharing target file through the work object and open and view the sharing target file. The second user terminal 120b may store, modify, change, or otherwise update a shared target file according to a range in which the authority is set.

6 is a diagram illustrating a file sharing method based on a work object according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , an embodiment in which the file sharing device 110 based on a work object adds a file sharing target through a chat room dependent on a work object will be described.

First, the file sharing apparatus 110 based on the work object creates a work object associated with the file to be shared according to the file sharing request of the first user terminal 120a ( S610 ). In addition, at the request of the first user terminal 120a or the second user terminal 120b (only when there is an authority for the chat room creation request) or according to a preset setting in the work object, a work object-dependent chat room can be created. (S620).

In this case, one or more of the first user and the second user are included as chat room participants in the work object-dependent chat room, and a third user is added as a chat room participant (S630). In other words, the file sharing target is expanded through the work object-dependent chat room. A third user added as a chat room participant in a work object-dependent chat room is given the right to access and read the work object and file to be shared. Accordingly, the third user terminal 120c accepts the chat room participation request of the work object-dependent chat room, and obtains access to the work object by participating in the work object-dependent chat room. In addition, since the share target file is also shared through the work object, the share target file may be provided through the work object (S640). The third user terminal 120c may access the file to be shared through the work object, and may view the file to be shared or modify the file to be shared according to the scope of the authority.

7 is a diagram illustrating a file sharing method based on a work object according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 7 , the work object-based file sharing device 110 also adds a file sharing target through a work object independent chat room.

In response to the file sharing request of the first user terminal 120a, the work object-based file sharing apparatus 110 may generate a work object related to the share target file (S710). Then, a work object independent chat room is created (S720). The work object independent chat room does not need to be a chat room related to the work object, nor does it need to be included in the work object. It is outside the work object and may be a general chat room that is not related to the work object. However, in the work object independent chat room, the work object may be transmitted as one of the chat messages, and one or more of the work object participants may be included as chat room participants in the work object independent chat room.

Here, the work object-based file sharing device 110 may receive a request from, for example, the first user terminal 120a participating in the work object independent chat room to add the fourth user as a chat room participant of the work object independent chat room (S730). ). Accordingly, the fourth user is added as a chat room participant of the work object independent chat room.

Then, the work object is transmitted as one of the messages of the work object independent chat room (S740). That is, the first user terminal 120a invites the fourth user terminal to participate in the work object independent chat room, and then transmits the work object as a message so that the fourth user terminal 120d can receive the work object. (S740).

The work object-based file sharing apparatus 110 may provide a work object and/or a file to be shared to the fourth user terminal 120d through a work object independent chat room (S750). The work object-based file sharing device 110 may give the fourth user a permission in advance to allow access to the work object or the file to be shared. Alternatively, the work object and/or the file to be shared may be provided by a setting bar related to security authentication of the work object or the file to be shared (S750)

If the fourth user terminal 120d has the authority to modify the file, the fourth user terminal 120d, which is the file sharing target, may view and modify the sharing target file through the work object.

Although the above has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can variously modify and change the present invention within the scope without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.
