The module refers to a unit that includes one or a combination of two or more of hardware, software, or firmware.

That is, the module is a program that can be downloaded and used by the client, for example, a sales information management program, a personnel information management program, an accounting information management program, a customer information management program, a material information management program, A management program, a logistics information management program, a goods information management program, and a supply source information management program, or a recording medium storing or storing such a program that is a mixture of at least two programs. The modules may be run independently of each other, or at least two of the modules may be mixed. In addition, the module is stored in a programmable state that can be modified by a user.

The plurality of modules may be preset in the server 10 or stored in the server 10, or may be generated in the client 20 and stored automatically or manually. Accordingly, the module stored in the server 10 is not limited to a specific number of modules but can be extended by the client 20. 3, the server 10 is not limited to the server 10. For example, the server 10 may include a peer activity management server (PAMS), an overlay management server (OMS), a user management server (UMS) And the like.

The client 20 is any one of a user system, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and a POS (point of sale) system. For example, the user system may be any one of a personal PC, a tablet, Can be used.

Next, a configuration of a server to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG.

4 is a configuration block diagram of a server applied to the present invention.

4, the server 10 includes a first control unit 11, a second control unit 11, and a second control unit 11, both of which transmit or receive information on the module under the control of the control unit 11, A module management unit 13 for managing each modification state of a plurality of modules, a storage unit 14 for storing a plurality of modules on a module-by-module basis, and a client 20 connected to the server And a sales management unit 16 for managing the sales of the modules downloaded from the client 20 or the modules generated by the client 20. [

The control unit 11 controls the functional states of the respective components of the server 10, for example, transmission / reception status, module management status, storage status, and the like.

Since the first transmission / reception unit 12 is the same as the transmission / reception function of a conventional wired / wireless system, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The module management unit 13 distinguishes and manages the modules stored in the initial server or the modules generated by the client 20 for each of the modules stored in the storage unit 14 and sends the information to the client 20 And controls the client 20 to select a module that is optimal for the client 20 itself.

In the above description, the storage unit 14 is included in the server. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a database separate from the server 10 can be constructed and utilized. Such a database is a normal storage medium for storing data required by the server 10, and is a database for storing information about the web browser environment for the client 20, information about the characteristics and environments of various web browsers, ID, PASSWORD, etc., each module, and the like. In addition, the configuration of such a database is only a preferred embodiment, and other structures may be constructed in accordance with the database construction theory in consideration of the ease and efficiency of access and retrieval in developing a specific device.

The client management unit 15 manages unique information about each client 20 connected to the server 10, status information of the client downloading the module, status information of the module stored in the client 20, And manages whether the module generated in the client 20 is stored in the server 10 automatically or manually.

The sales management unit 16 manages price information for each module, sales information for each module downloaded, and sales information for modules generated and stored by the client.

In the above description, the module management unit 13, the client management unit 15, the sales management unit 16, and the like have been described separately for convenience of explanation. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be realized by a configuration in which a single program is interlocked.

Next, the configuration of the client 20 applied to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

5 is a configuration block diagram of a client applied to the present invention.

In the following description, a module stored in the server 10 and downloaded by the client 20 is referred to as' module 1 'for convenience of explanation, and a module generated by modifying the module 1 by the client 20 is referred to as' Module 2 '.

5, the client 20 includes a second control unit 21, a second transceiver unit 22, a module executing unit 23 for executing the module 1 downloaded from the server, A module processing section 24 for modifying the module 1 executed by the module processing section 23 and a module generating section 25 for generating a new module 2 in accordance with the module processed by the module processing section 24. [

The control unit 11 controls the functional states of the respective components of the client 20, for example, the transmission / reception state, the module execution state, the storage state, and the like.

Like the first transceiver 12, the second transceiver 22 is the same as the normal transceiving system of a wired / wireless system, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The module executing section 23 is an execution program for executing a module suitable for the requirements of the client. The executing section 23 includes a sales information management program, a personnel information management program, an accounting information management program, a customer information management program, a material information management program, A program, a sales information management program, a logistics information management program, a product information management program, and a supply source information management program, or a program in which at least two programs are mixed. For example, in a POS system used for sales management in a restaurant, a sales information management program causes a menu selection, a table designation, a price, a payment method, and a number of customers to be executed in a touch screen state.

The module processing unit 24 performs a modification to the program executed in the module executing unit 23 to expand or contract the field with respect to addition of goods, change in price, customer information, etc. in the downloaded module 1, The generation unit 25 generates a new module 2 corresponding to the module in which the field is expanded or reduced by the module processing unit 24. [

For example, in a POS system applied to restaurants, touch input is possible for menu, price, number of customers, cash calculation, card calculation, sum, etc., However, the module processing unit 24 may generate and operate a new field for inputting information that is not in a predetermined condition such as a customer's taste. That is, the module processing unit 24 generates a new field that is not included in the downloaded module 1, for example, 'customer information', and causes the generated module to be executed by the module executing unit 23.

The modified module 1 as described above is generated as a new module 2 by the module generation unit 25 and transferred to the server 10 automatically or manually through the second transmission and reception unit 22 and stored as a new module 2 . Therefore, when another client downloads and uses the new module 2, the client corresponding to the new module 2 can generate profit because it pays the corresponding cost.

On the other hand, the module 2 generated by the client 20 as described above is automatically or manually stored by the client management unit 15 in the server.

Next, an information management operating system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the information management operating system according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a view illustrating an example of a display state in the POS system.

First, the server 10 is provided with a plurality of modules required by the client 10, for example, a sales information management program, a personnel information management program, an accounting information management program, a customer information management program, a material information management program, Program, a sales information management program, a logistics information management program, a product information management program, a supply source information management program, and the like are stored (S10).

The client 20 selects a necessary module 1 among the plurality of modules through the network 30, downloads the selected module 1, and executes the downloaded module 1 (S20, S30). Such an executed state is as shown in FIG.

In the state shown in FIG. 7, for example, when a change in price or addition of a product occurs, the module processing section 24 executes the correction to process the downloaded module 1 (S40).

On the other hand, if it is not satisfied by the module 1 processed in the step S40, the module processing unit 24 executes extension or reduction of a desired field in the downloaded module 1. [ For example, as described above, when it is necessary to input information that is not in the preset condition of the module 1, such as a taste of the customer, in the POS system, the module processing unit 24 generates a new field Customer information " field, and causes the module execution unit 23 to execute the generated field.

At the same time as the generated field is executed by the module executing unit 23, the module generating unit 25 generates a new module 2 corresponding to the module in which the field is expanded or reduced by the module processing unit 24 (S50).

Meanwhile, the second controller 21 determines whether the module 2 generated by the module generator 25 is automatically stored in the storage unit 14 or stored manually (S60).

If the client 20 refuses to store in the step S60, the process ends (S70), and the module 2 generated by the module generating unit 25 is used only by the client 20 itself.

When the client 20 stores the module 2 generated in the module creation unit 25 in the storage unit 14 in the step S60, the module management unit 13 manages the stored module 2, and the sales management unit 16 ) Manages whether or not another client downloads the stored module 2, and if the download has been made, executes the sales management to pay the cost according to the preset conditions for the stored module 2 (S80).

At the time of downloading in the step S20, the client management unit 15 determines whether the module 2 generated by the client 20 is automatically stored in the storage unit 14 or is manually stored in the storage unit 14 by the client 20 Whether or not they are stored.

As described above, according to the present invention, the first client downloads and uses the first module 1 stored in the server, stores the generated module 2 in the server by upgrading the module 1, and the second client stores the module 2 In the case of downloading and using, since the usage cost of the module 2 is paid to the first client, the evolution of the module stored in the server continues to realize the module optimal for the client, and the client creates a module suitable for the client At the same time, profit can be pursued.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

By using the information management operating system and the operating method according to the present invention, the client can use the optimum module.
