Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the IT developer matching system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an intermediate server 100, a member terminal 200, an IT developer terminal 300, and a database 400. Includes.

The IT developer matching system (10) operates an IT developer brokerage platform to connect members with IT developers who produce mobile applications, web pages, and other applications, without incurring any additional costs to members granted membership. Many IT development companies can provide detailed estimates for program production.

The mediation server 100 is a device that can host an online network and specify a network address, and can exchange data with the member terminal 200, the IT developer terminal 300, and the database through the network.

The mediation server 100 provides an operating environment for the IT developer matching application and web page running on the member terminal 200 and the IT developer terminal 300, and provides a temporary quote generated through self-analysis and an IT developer terminal (300A to 300N). ) can provide members with IT developer quotations received from them. A member of the member terminal 200 can specify the cost required for program production by comparing the estimated cost determined by a plurality of IT development companies with the temporary estimated cost determined by the mediation server 100.

The mediation server 100 includes a communication unit 110, a plan reception unit 120, an AI keyword analysis unit 130, a program plan generation unit 140, a production cost calculation unit 150, a temporary quotation generation unit 160, and a bidding unit. It includes a page management unit 170 and an outsourcing contract management unit 180, where each component is implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination thereof, and is connected through at least one communication path to perform at least one function or It may refer to a unit that processes actions.

The communication unit 110 can transmit and receive data with the member terminal 200 and the IT development company terminal 300, and can communicate with LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), and WCDMA (Wideband). Communication methods such as Code Division Multiple Access (Code Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and EPC (Evolved Packet Core) can be used, so it is not limited to any one communication method.

The plan receiving unit 120 may receive a desired plan including functions and designs required for the program to be produced from the member terminal 200 through the communication unit 110. Since there are no restrictions on how to write a desired plan, the functions required for the program to be produced can be implemented in various forms, such as text, pictures, photos, and audio, in the desired plan.

The plan reception unit 120 may convert the functions and designs included in the desired plan into text to facilitate analysis of the desired plan.

Depending on the embodiment, the plan reception unit 120 may machine translate the text included in the desired plan into Korean if it is written in a foreign language. If the foreign text is a programming language or there is no language corresponding to Korean, the original text can be translated without translation. It can be kept in its original form.

According to another embodiment, the plan receiving unit 120 may analyze a picture or photo included in the desired plan to recognize and extract text included therein, and may also recognize program functions included within the picture or photo. . For example, if there is a photo capturing the program screen and a chat window is recognized inside, the plan reception unit 120 can extract the chat window text.

The AI keyword analysis unit 130 can perform AI keyword analysis on the desired plan textified by the plan reception unit 120, and extract key keywords related to the implementation of the function of the program as a result of the analysis.

The AI keyword analysis unit 130 can analyze the text of the desired plan using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, and a known natural language processing engine can be used. The AI keyword analysis unit 130 Morphological analysis, which analyzes words contained in a text into morphemes, which are the minimum meaning units, part-of-speech attachment, which attaches the most appropriate form of speech among the results obtained through morpheme analysis, and syntactic analysis through phrase-level and clause-level analysis. It can be done.

Additionally, the AI keyword analysis unit 130 can analyze text using an Internet search engine. For example, when it is difficult to recognize the text through a natural language processing engine because there are words with new meanings that are not stored in the database, such as new words, the AI keyword analysis unit 130 can perform analysis through search results on Internet pages. there is.

The AI keyword analysis unit 130 can summarize text using a natural language processing engine and an Internet search engine, and extract key keywords by determining the similarity between the text summary result and the previously stored text.

The program plan generation unit 140 can classify the core keywords extracted from the AI keyword analysis unit 130 according to whether or not costs are incurred due to function implementation, and generates a program plan consisting of essential functions required for the development of the production target program. can do.

Each of the core keywords extracted from the AI keyword analysis unit 130 is a vocabulary related to the implementation of the function of the program, and there may be a plurality of key keywords related to the implementation of one function. The program plan creation unit 140 may classify key keywords by function and generate a program plan consisting of essential components.

For example, when the first to fifth key keywords are extracted by the AI keyword analysis unit 130, the program plan generation unit 140 does not generate a program plan according to the number of key keywords, but rather generates a program plan classified by function. You can create a plan. If the first to third core keywords are related to the multi-party chat function, the fourth core keyword is related to Android-based function implementation, and the fifth core keyword is related to video calling, the program plan creation unit 140 You can create a program plan that includes multi-party chat functionality, Android-based feature implementation, and video calls.

Depending on the embodiment, when the extracted core keyword is the name of a previously distributed program, the program plan creation unit 140 reads the existing program data to determine the essential functions that constitute the already distributed program, and the determined essential functions You can create a program production plan consisting of.

According to another embodiment, if the name of a pre-distributed program and other key keywords exist among the extracted key keywords, the program plan creation unit 140 reads the pre-existing program data and performs an essential function of constructing the pre-distributed program. It is possible to determine and create a program production plan consisting of essential functions corresponding to the determined essential functions and other key keywords.

The production cost calculation unit 150 can match essential functions to a pre-stored cost table to calculate the expected cost required to produce the program to be produced. The cost table is a type of look-up table created by accumulating the production costs of previously produced programs. The cost table may include production costs for each essential function.

Meanwhile, because the costs set by each IT developer may be different even if the same function is developed, the cost table may include the average value of the costs set by IT developers for each essential function.

For example, if the first IT developer set a cost of 15 million won for implementing the multi-party chat function, and the second IT developer set a cost of 17 million won, the cost table would be set at 16 million won for the implementation of the multi-party chat function. You can.

In this way, the cost table stores the average of costs incurred in programs produced in the past rather than arbitrarily determined costs, so the estimated cost for each essential function in the cost table can be used as a reliable indicator.

The temporary quotation generating unit 160 may generate a temporary quotation including essential functions and estimated costs assigned to each essential function.

For example, if the essential functions included in the program plan are determined to be 'multi-party chatting function, implementation of Android-based functions, and video calls', the temporary quotation generating unit 160 may be 'multi-party chatting function, implementation of Android-based functions, and video calls'. 'You can create a temporary estimate with the estimated cost for each.

The bidding page management unit 170 may register a program plan on the outsourcing bidding page accessible by developers. The program plan does not include estimated costs for each essential function and does not include the program production budget.

If the program production budget is included in the program production plan, IT development companies must prepare IT developer estimates according to the program production budget, which may make it difficult to reduce actual costs. Accordingly, the bidding page management unit 170 can register a program production plan including only essential functions required for program production on the outsourcing bidding page.

The outsourcing contract management unit 180 may conclude a program development contract between the member and the selected developer in response to the matching approval message received from the member terminal 200. When concluding a contract between a member and an IT developer, the outsourcing contract management unit 180 may deduct a portion of the program production cost provided from the member terminal 200 as a brokerage fee and provide the difference to the IT developer terminal 300. That is, the outsourcing contract management unit 180 divides the program development cost provided from the member terminal 200 into a contract brokerage success fee and a developer development cost according to a preset ratio and provides only the developer development cost to the IT developer terminal 300. .

In this way, the IT developer matching system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention promotes the convenience of members by providing free estimate costs for program production to members, and deducts a certain fee only when a program production contract is concluded. It can be operated in this way.

The member terminal 200 and the IT developer terminal 300 are terminals on which the IT developer matching application or web page is executed, such as a smart phone, tablet PC, or mobile internet device (MID). , an internet tablet, an internet of things (IoT) device, an internet of everything (IoE) device, a laptop computer, a workstation computer, a Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminal, and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). However, it is not limited to this.

In addition, the member terminal 200 can receive input from members on program implementation plans described in various ways, such as text, voice recording files, video files, and photo files (S102), and arrange the input program implementation plans according to the plan format. Thus, the desired plan can be created (S104).

The mediation server 100 receives a desired plan containing the functions and design required for the program to be produced from the member terminal 200 (S106), and includes key keywords related to the implementation of the program's functions in the desired plan through AI keyword analysis. It can be extracted from the text (S108).

In particular, the mediation server 100 The text of the desired plan can be analyzed using a natural language processing engine, and text that is difficult to recognize through a natural language processing engine can be further analyzed through an Internet search engine. That is, the mediation server 100 can summarize text using a natural language processing engine and an Internet search engine, and extract key keywords by determining the similarity between the text summary result and the previously stored text.

In addition, the mediation server 100 can classify the extracted key keywords according to whether or not costs are incurred due to function implementation and generate a program plan consisting of only the essential functions required for the development of the production target program (S110).

In addition, the mediation server 100 can calculate the expected cost required to produce the program to be produced by matching the essential functions to the pre-stored cost table (S112). Here, the cost table may include the average cost for each essential function of programs already produced in the past.

Additionally, the mediation server 100 may generate a temporary quotation for the program to be produced (S114). Here, the provisional estimate includes a program plan and estimated costs for each essential function.

The member terminal 200 may receive a temporary quotation from the mediation server 100 and display it on the screen (S116, S118). Using a temporary quotation, a member can initially determine the cost required to produce a program by the mediation server 100 even before receiving a quotation from an IT developer.

In addition, the estimated cost for each essential function included in the temporary estimate is a cumulative average of the production costs of previously produced programs, so the reliability of the estimated cost is ensured and can be used as a reference for members to select an IT development company in the future. .
