For example, the progress status of each of a plurality of members participating in a task can be distinguished by displaying them differently.

In addition, the task tracking system can classify members according to a predetermined level. For example, a task tracking system can distinguish a member as a guest and a general user. The task tracking system can be configured such that the guest member can not view the task displayed in the list area 470 or 510 and only the task related to the project in which the guest member is participating can be viewed. At this time, the task tracking system can provide an interface for allowing the authorized member to view the task to modify the contents of the task. In addition, the task tracking system can grant a member permission to view a task for only a part of a plurality of tasks, and can modify the task only for a viewable task.

The task tracking system may cause the task tracking system to display the contents of the task in the body regions 480 and 520 that display the task as at least one of the project or task is selected in the list area 470 and 510 of the message communication tool 400, . At this time, the task tracking system can grant authority to view the contents related to the project. For example, a task tracking system can authorize invitees who are invited to a project to view tasks related to the project and project only. Alternatively, the task tracking system can set the tracking associated with the project and the project so that only the entire employee or his / her own tracking is visible. Also, if you create a project and designate only members, you can use it to manage your business.

Alternatively, the task tracking system can grant a combination of rights to view the contents of tasks related to the project and the project. For example, a task tracking system can assign a specific project to a specific project so that only the team and creator can view it. At this time, the task tracking system can regard the person who can view the task as a person who is related to the project, and can give permission to modify the contents of the task.

Referring to FIG. 4, the account area 410 is displayed as an account for each user, so that account information according to the connected account can be displayed.

For example, the task tracking system may provide an interface to the account area 410 via the message communication tool 400 to support profile setting, absence setting, logout, and the like.

The task tracking system can provide an interface for generating a message through a task layer for inputting project information associated with the project and completion date of the task associated with the project or project. For example, the task tracking system may provide a task interface for entering project information for a project in the account area 410, and a message interface for entering information of a task associated with the project. A task layer may be provided as the task interface or message interface is selected.

Referring to FIG. 11, an example of the task layers 1110 and 1120 is shown to illustrate a method of providing a task layer 1110 and 1120 in a task tracking system to generate a task or a task associated with a project. The task layers 1110 and 1120 are not limited to those provided in FIG. 11, and may be provided in various forms. For example, the task layers 1110 and 1120 may include a task layer 1110 for inputting project information associated with a project, and a message layer 1120 for inputting task information of a task associated with the project.

The task tracking system may provide a template at the task layer 1110, 1120 that specifies at least one of body, referrer, contact, title, and date associated with the project or task. In more detail, the task tracking system can designate the creation form of the task layers 1110 and 1120 using open source in the task layers 1110 and 1120, input at least one of the reception and images related to the project or task Lt; / RTI > At this time, the task tracking system can easily input contents by inserting a check box into an input area for inputting contents in the task layers 1110 and 1120 and checking contents to be inputted by a user through a check box.

The user can designate a template through the task layers 1110 and 1120. [ For example, a user may designate a template for frequently used portions in the task layers 1110 and 1120. For example, At this time, the task tracking system can provide the automatic setting of today's date by inputting a predetermined code even if the date is not directly input. For example, if the user enters '[$]' in the task layers 1110 and 1120, today's date can be automatically generated and displayed.

The task tracking system can create a project or task as it enters at least one of body, referrer, contact, title and date associated with the project or task. At this time, the task tracking system can provide for assigning a plurality of referrers and assignees to a project or a task. For example, the task tracking system provides each interface (e.g., an input window) that allows the task layer 1110 to input the title of the project, the contact person, the referer, the completion date of the project deadline, and the body text can do. Likewise, the task tracking system may provide an interface (e.g., an input window) for entering information related to the task in the message layer 1120. For example, the user may generate messages, mail, documents, etc., associated with the project through the message layer 1120. [ In addition, the task tracking system can provide an interface that can use a file attachment function, a sub task creation function, a deletion function, or the like to attach a file to the task layers 1110 and 1120.

In addition, the task tracking system can convert a text document associated with a project or task into a specific document by structuring it in a predetermined format and adjusting the layout. For example, a task tracking system can provide a function to convert an e-mail composed of a text document into a presentation material, a meeting material, and the like. The task tracking system can structure the document and convert it so that the layout of the text is already adjusted to fit the format of the particular document.

In addition, the task tracking system can be implemented so that the schedule is automatically reflected on the calendar when accepting the schedule of the project or task. Furthermore, the task tracking system can manage schedule information related to a project or task.

In this manner, the task tracking system recognizes a message including task information associated with the project information and the project as a task based on information input from the user through each interface, and registers the task in the message communication tool .

At this time, the project or task created by the user himself can be displayed in the message communication tool and can be displayed in the message communication tool by receiving the project or task transmitted from the user other than the user. For example, a method of operating a message communication tool in the context of a second user will be described. The first user may send a message to the second user via the task layer in the message communication tool, including a task associated with the project or project. The task tracking system may receive the transmitted message from the first user. The task tracking system may determine that the message sent from the first user is a task associated with a project or project in progress by the second user. The task tracking system recognizes a message transmitted from a first user as a task as it is determined that the second user is an ongoing project or task, and displays the message on the message communication tool by tracking and classifying the task based on the status of the recognized task have. In addition, a message including the project information generated by the second user through the task layer in the message communication tool and the completion date information of the task associated with the project may be recognized as a task and stored and displayed in the message communication tool of the second user.

The task tracking system may provide an interface 650 for sorting tasks displayed in the list area 470 (510) of the message communication tool based on the received date, the completed date, or the updated date. The task tracking system can sort tasks based on the date they were received, the date they completed, or the date they were updated. For example, referring to FIG. 6, a list of tasks stored in the inbox can be arranged in the list area in descending order of completion date based on the task completion date. Referring to FIG. 7, a list of tasks may be displayed in the list area in the latest order based on the updated date, such as 710. At this time, each task displayed in the list area can be displayed by reflecting the state of a representative or reference person participating in the project. The status of a contact or referrer may refer to the progress of the task of the contact or referrer to the task associated with the project or project.

The task tracking system can classify and display the progress list for the task, the wait list for the task, and the completion list for the task separately. The task tracking system includes interfaces (610, 620, 630, 640) capable of displaying and sorting all tasks, an ongoing task, a waiting task, and a completed task on a list area 470 And display a list of tasks according to the selected interface as at least one of the interfaces is selected.

Referring to FIG. 8, the task tracking system may display a list of tasks stored in the outbox in the list area 470 (510). The task tracking system can provide an interface 840 for sorting tasks displayed in the list area 470 (510) of the message communication tool based on the date of origin, completion date, updated date, and progress of the project have. The task tracking system can sort tasks based on the date they were sent, completed, or updated. At this time, each task displayed in the list area can be displayed by reflecting the state of a representative or reference person participating in the project. The status of a contact or referrer may refer to the progress of the task of the contact or referrer to the task associated with the project or project. For example, a contact person or a reference person can display a member by dividing it into a completed, in progress, and before the start, and can expose the group by groups such as completed member, ongoing member, and pre-start member.

The task tracking system can check the progress of tasks associated with projects and projects for members. The task tracking system can provide a plurality of personnel to be assigned to a task associated with a specific project or project through a task layer. The task tracking system can display the importance of a task.
