1 is a conceptual diagram of a software asset management service providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 100 for providing software asset management services according to an embodiment of the present invention manages licenses of software assets possessed by a company, distributes licenses to necessary executives and employees, and provides an employee terminal 300 of executives and employees. You can prevent risks of disputes such as copyrights in advance by monitoring the software installed on the computer. Meanwhile, the software asset management service providing device 100 may be referred to as 'electronic device 100' in the present invention.

At this time, the manager terminal 200 and the employee terminal 300 are communicable desktop computers, laptop computers, notebooks, smart phones, tablet PCs, Mobile phone, smart watch, smart glass, e-book reader, portable multimedia player (PMP), portable game device, navigation device, digital camera, DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting) player, digital audio recorder, digital audio player, digital video recorder, digital video player, personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. can include

2 is a block diagram of an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

An electronic device 100 according to an embodiment includes a processor 110 and a memory 120 . The processor 110 may perform at least one method described above. The memory 120 may store information related to the above method or store a program in which the above method is implemented. Memory 120 may be volatile memory or non-volatile memory. The memory 120 may be referred to as a 'database', a 'storage unit', or the like.

The processor 110 may execute a program and control the electronic device 100 . Program codes executed by the processor 110 may be stored in the memory 120 . The device 100 may be connected to an external device (eg, a personal computer or network) through an input/output device (not shown) and exchange data.

At this time, the processor 110 may receive, from the manager terminal 200, an installation file and license information of software possessed by the company.

At this time, the software is related to paid software, and may be, for example, illustrator, Microsoft Office, Hangul, CAD, Photoshop, and the like. Accordingly, the installation file means an installation file of corresponding software, and the license information may include any means for authenticating a genuine license such as a genuine license number or account of the corresponding software.

At this time, the manager terminal 200 may be a terminal used by a manager who manages software assets within the enterprise.

In addition, the processor 110 may receive use request information including a software name of the first software and a use request reason from the employee terminal 300 .

At this time, the reason for requesting use may be written based on natural language, and keywords may be extracted through an artificial intelligence module as will be described later.

In addition, the processor 110 may determine whether use is permitted based on the use request information, and may transmit an installation file and license information of the first software to the employee terminal 300 .

In most cases, software that requires a license is specialized for a specific task. For example, Premiere, a video editing program, is specialized only for video editing and is difficult to use for image editing or document work.

Thus, the scope of work in which the software can be used can be defined.

In addition, licensed software is purchased by a company after paying a fee, so it is difficult to have it indefinitely. Therefore, it is very important to properly distribute limited software to executives and employees who need it.

The criterion for judging this may be whether the above scope of work is included in the scope of duties of the employee.

In more detail, the processor 110 may receive information about the scope of work in which the software is used for each software from the manager terminal 200 .

At this time, the scope of work is set around software-specific functions such as 'document work', 'image editing', 'video editing', 'homepage production', 'illustration work', 'drawing design', and '3D modeling'. It can be.

In addition, the processor 110 compares the job scope with the job scope of the employee who has transmitted the use request information, and if the job scope includes the job scope, the first corresponding to the use request information. The software installation file, license information, and first expiration date may be transmitted to the employee terminal 300 .

In this case, the job scope may be related to duties performed by executives and employees, such as 'software development', 'web design', 'graphic design', 'video production', and 'video editing'.

At this time, as an example of a comparison between the job scope and the work scope, the job scope of 'web design' may include work scopes such as 'image editing', 'website production', and 'illustration work'.

In this case, the first usage period may be a period arbitrarily set by an administrator. This is to prevent one person monopolizing the limited software license, and can be set to one week, one month, and the like. At this time, when the first usage period expires, the license information may be forcibly retrieved, or the corresponding license information may be requested to be retrieved from the employee's terminal 300 .

Employees generally work within the scope of their duties. However, there are exceptional cases in which work outside the scope of one's duties may occur, and at this time, a situation in which a corresponding software license may be required may occur. Therefore, even if the scope of work does not include the scope of work, it is desirable to provide a license for temporary use based on the reason for requesting use.

Therefore, when the processor 110 does not include the job scope in the job scope, the artificial intelligence module determines that the reason for the use request and the job scope are correlated with a shorter than the first usage period. The installation file and license information of the first software may be transmitted to the employee's terminal 300 with a predetermined second usage period.

At this time, an artificial intelligence module may be used to determine whether the reason for requesting use and the scope of work are correlated.

Looking in more detail, the processor 110 may extract a first keyword excluding postpositional words from all characters included in the use request information through an artificial intelligence module.

In addition, the processor 110 may extract a predetermined job keyword and a second keyword corresponding to the job keyword from among the first keywords.

For example, the above use request information is 'request to use to modify the homepage image.' , the first keyword may be 'homepage, image, modification, use request', and the second keyword may be 'homepage, image, modification'.

At this time, the processor 110 determines whether the second keyword is similar to the task keyword included in the task scope through word embedding, and if it is determined that the second keyword is similar, the reason for the use request and the task scope are If it is determined that there is a correlation and it is determined that they are not similar, it may be determined that the reason for requesting use and the scope of work are not correlated.

At this time, the artificial intelligence module uses a deep learning technique, a field of machine learning, to extract a first keyword and a second keyword, a machine learning model, and the second keyword included in the scope of work. It is possible to create a machine learning model that determines the similarity with the work keyword to be used.

In addition, the artificial intelligence module may calculate weights of a plurality of inputs in the function through deep learning through learning. In addition, various models such as RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), DNN (Deep Neural Network), and DRNN (Dynamic Recurrent Neural Network) can be used as artificial intelligence network models used for such learning.

Here, RNN is a deep learning technique that simultaneously considers current data and past data, and recurrent neural network (RNN) represents a neural network in which connections between units constituting an artificial neural network constitute a directed cycle. Furthermore, various methods can be used for the structure capable of configuring the recurrent neural network (RNN), for example, a Fully Recurrent Network, a Hopfield Network, an Elman Network, ESN (Echo state network), long short term memory network (LSTM), bi-directional RNN, continuous-time RNN (CTRNN), hierarchical RNN, and quadratic RNN are representative examples. In addition, as a method for learning a recurrent neural network (RNN), methods such as gradient descent, Hessian Free Optimization, and Global Optimization Method may be used.

It is desirable to grant permission for use based on the employee’s job scope and software business scope, but if the employee continuously requests the use of software in a business scope that is not included in his or her job scope, the employee’s duties You need to change the scope. This is because the continuous request for use can be interpreted as saying that the scope of work of the relevant employee has been expanded, as it means that he is currently continuing to perform the work within the scope of the job.

Therefore, the processor 110, the first number of times of receiving the use request information not included in the job scope from the employee terminal 300 exceeds the first predetermined threshold number of times, the use request In response to the information, if the second number determined to be correlated with the scope of work exceeds the preset second threshold number, the scope of work may be included in the scope of work of all executives and employees who share the scope of work. .

At this time, the first threshold number of times and the second threshold number of times may be arbitrarily set by the manager.

At this time, since the first number of times of the use request information is high, the amount of work to be used for the corresponding software is large, and the second number of times is high, which means that the number of times of actually performing the corresponding task is high. Since other executives and employees sharing the software are highly likely to request the use of the software, the scope of work is expanded in advance to save resources.

In addition, the processor 110, when the first number is less than the first threshold number of times and the second number exceeds the second threshold number of times, the job range of the employee using the employee terminal 300 can include the above scope of work.

This is a case where the total amount of work for the executives and employees with the above job scopes to use the software is not large, but there are many cases where the executives and employees need to use the software. to expand the scope of work.

3 is a flowchart for monitoring software installed in an employee terminal 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If there is software that is not permitted or used without a license in the employee terminal 300 used by the employee, it may be uneasy from the point of view of the company. Therefore, it is desirable to continuously monitor the software installed in the employee's terminal 300 to remove insecurity factors in advance.

To this end, the processor 110 may receive, from the employee terminal 300 , software names of a plurality of second software installed in the employee terminal 300 and installation information about license information.

In addition, the processor 110 may classify the purpose of use of the second software based on the software purpose DB stored in the memory. In this case, the purpose of use may be divided into personal use and business use. At this time, software for personal use means software that is not related to work, such as KakaoTalk, Torrent, and games, and software for business use means software used for work, such as Office and Hangul. software that can be

At this time, if the purpose of use is personal use, the processor 110 compares the software name of the second software with the blacklist DB stored in the memory, and if included in the blacklist DB, A forced deletion command may be transmitted to the employee terminal 300 and, if not included in the blacklist DB, a user restriction message may be transmitted to the employee terminal 300 .

At this time, the blacklist DB relates to software that may be a threat to the employee terminal 300 itself or to other employee terminals 300 that share a network with the employee terminal 300, for example. For example, torrents, cryptocurrency mining programs, etc. may be included. Accordingly, in the case of software included in the blacklist DB, the forcible deletion command may be transmitted to the employee terminal 300 so that the software can be immediately deleted without the employee's consent.

In addition, even if the software is not included in the blacklist DB, the software for personal use is difficult to help work, so it is not forcibly deleted, and a message recommending user restrictions can be sent to the employee.

In addition, if the purpose of use is business use, the processor 110 checks whether a genuine license is held based on the license information, and if not, the processor 110 determines whether a genuine license is held, and sends the information to the employee terminal 300. Use request information of the second software for the second software may be generated.

Even if it is for business use, if you use it without a genuine license, you can receive the exercise of rights (compensation for damages) from the right holder of the software, which can act as a risk from the point of view of the company.

However, even if there is no genuine license, since the corresponding software is being used for business purposes, use request information for the second software may be created as generated in the employee terminal 300 so that the user can receive and use the genuine license.

In addition, the processor 110 may generate use request information of the second software for the employee terminal 300 when the genuine license is possessed and the genuine license is for personal use.

Genuine licenses are divided into personal and corporate use. Personal use is a license that an individual can use alone, and business use means a license that can be used by a company. Therefore, even if a company uses personal use, the right holder's rights can be exercised. Therefore, as described above, use request information can be generated so that the corresponding employee can receive and use the genuine license.

In addition, if the processor 110 possesses the genuine license and the genuine license is for business use, the processor 110 may add use permission information of the second software installed in the employee terminal 300 to the installation information. can This means that there is no problem in using the software.

In order to manage software assets, it is desirable to optimize the number of software licenses. For example, if the number of executives and employees is 5, it is difficult to work in the case of 1 license, and it is wasteful in the case of 8 licenses.

To this end, the processor 110 is based on the first number of executives and employees whose job scope includes the job scope of the software, the use request information for the software, and the workload of the first job in which the software is used. It is possible to calculate the required number of the software.

In more detail, the processor 110 calculates the average inflow interval period of the first task based on the number of inflow cases of the first task that has flowed in during a predetermined period, and calculates the average inflow interval period and the first task The task overlap index can be calculated based on the average processing period of tasks.

The period may be arbitrarily set by the manager, and may be set to, for example, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and the like.

At this time, the work overlap index can be calculated by Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1]

For example, when the period is 1 month (30 days) and the number of inflows is 10, the average inflow interval period may be 3 days (30/10). In addition, when the average processing period is 7 days, the task overlap index may be 2.333.

Through the work overlap index, it is possible to estimate the amount of work that can be performed simultaneously, and through this, it is possible to grasp the minimum number of licenses required at the same time.

Therefore, the processor 110 compares the task overlap index with the first number of people, and when the task overlap index exceeds the first number of people, sets the first number of people to the required number, and the task overlap When the index is less than or equal to the first number of persons, a rounded integer value of the work overlap index may be set as the required number.

In summary, the required number may be set to the maximum value of the first number of people and to the minimum value of the work overlap index.

At this time, the work overlap index may be expressed as a decimal point, and may be rounded to an integer to match the number of licenses.

In addition, the processor 110 may generate purchase request information of the software as much as a difference between the number of possessions and the required number of software and transmit the generated purchase request information to the manager terminal 200 .

The software license is a subscription type, which can be divided into a term license that can be used by paying a certain amount for a certain period of time and a permanent license that can be used permanently with a one-time payment.

Buying a permanent license can be a waste if the software license is only for a specific, temporary project. Therefore, it is desirable to determine in advance whether the software license is for temporary use or permanent use, and change the purchase method accordingly.

To this end, the processor 110 generates the purchase request information, and determines whether a temporary purchase for temporary use or a permanent purchase for permanent use is required based on the software use request information, When it is determined that a temporary purchase is necessary, the purchase request information may be generated so that the software license is purchased as a term license.

Also, when it is determined that permanent purchase is necessary, the processor 110 may generate the purchase request information to purchase the license of the software as a permanent license.

At this time, the distinction between temporary use and permanent use is reasonable to regard it as temporary use when the recent use request information has rapidly increased. This is because it is desirable to understand that the corresponding software has become necessary as a result of performing a task without the corresponding software in the past and recently taking on a new task.

Accordingly, the processor 110 may determine that temporary purchase is necessary when Equation 2 below is satisfied, and may determine that permanent purchase is necessary when Equation 2 below is not satisfied.

[Equation 2]

At this time, NoTR (Number of Total SW Request) refers to the accumulated total number of use request information of the software, and NoRR (Number of Recent SW Request) refers to the software received from the first time to the present time. It means the number of recent requests for use request information for the software, and NoPR (Number of Past Request) is the number of past requests for the use request information for the software received from the second time point, which is set earlier than the first time point, to the first time point. can mean

Through this, it is possible to purchase a software license economically without waste.
