It may include further steps. When distributing resources, the existing method downloads the resources that have been changed in the application running stage at once, and if there are many resources that have been changed in the meantime, the resources that will not be used immediately are also downloaded, and the resource distribution takes a long time, which delays the application operation, resulting in user dissatisfaction. However, in the present invention, by using the 'run-time real-time resource division change processing' method, a method can be used to download only the corresponding resource when a specific resource is needed even while the application is running, thereby minimizing unnecessary downloads and speeding up the application operation. can be increased, so that resource distribution is performed efficiently.

The automatically generating may include a first user command for selecting whether or not Windows PC-based as the type of the terminal device, a second user command for selecting whether or not to use a mobile phone as the operating system, or data from the server as the data processing method The authoring tool may be operated by receiving a third user command for selecting whether or not it is Web-based processing.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram showing an online service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining a runtime real-time resource division change processing operation of the online service apparatus of FIG. 1 , and FIG. 4 is FIG. 1 It is a drawing to explain the test process after the automatic creation of multi-application screens of the platform development device of

1, the online service system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal device 100, a platform development device 110, a communication network 120, an authoring tool development device 130, and an authoring tool distribution. device 140 , and some or all of the online service device 150 .

Here, “including some or all” means that some components such as the authoring tool distribution device 140 are omitted, or some components such as the online service device 150 constitute the communication network 120 . (Example: wireless switching device, etc.) It means that it can be integrated and configured, and it will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The user terminal device 100 includes a terminal device on the user side using the service provided by the online service device 150 . The user terminal device 100 may include a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet PC, a smart phone, and the like. The user terminal device 100 may, for example, allow a user to access the online service device 150 of FIG. 1 and use a service, and may be classified into various devices by device type, OS, and data processing subject. For example, each type may be classified into a PC using a Windows OS or a mobile mobile device. Of course, in the case of a laptop computer, it can be viewed as a mobile because it can be moved, but in the embodiment of the present invention, it will be classified as a PC. In addition, tablet PCs are also classified as PCs. On the other hand, in the case of a smartphone, an operating system of Android or iOS different from that of a PC is used, and a different operating system is used. Of course, since the tablet PC may also be classified as a mobile rather than a PC, it is not particularly limited to the above form.

Furthermore, looking at the data processing subject or method, in the case of a game application, a program such as a running engine can be installed in a PC to use the game, but without installing a separate program, for example, the server, the online service device 150 You can access data and process data in the same way as streaming or cloud. The latter case can be called Web-based data processing or HTML5-based data processing according to an embodiment of the present invention. of screen design may be required.

As described above, in the user terminal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, there are various types of devices on the market, and there are various OSs, and furthermore, the data processing subject and target, such as how data processing is performed. Also, for example, from the point of view of an online service provider operating the online service device 150, an application screen design must be comprehensively considered. Here, it can be seen that screen design is not much different from application production.

Above all, the user terminal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is web-based as mentioned above, that is, executes a program such as an application in a service server like the online service device 150 to process data, Except for the case of providing to the terminal device 100, it is preferable to have a learning engine suitable for its own characteristics in all user terminal devices 100. In other words, tablet PCs and smartphones have different learning engines. Also, the learning engine is different between Android phones and iPhones (iOS phones). In order to use the service according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal device 100 is able to provide a service by installing a learning engine that matches its characteristics. Of course, "the learning engines are different" here means that the logical structure, such as the data processing structure, is not much different, but the physical structure, such as the development language, is different. Of course, in addition to the physical structure, since the logical structure may be different, the embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to any one form.

In any case, if the characteristics of the user terminal device 100 are different, it is clear that a learning engine corresponding thereto must be used for service use. This may be called a rule engine method in an embodiment of the present invention. In other words, when a multi-channel integrated platform developed according to an embodiment of the present invention is developed and a service is provided in the online service device 150, it is defined as a rule corresponding to it according to various environments (eg, type of device, etc.) Since the program has been developed, a separate learning engine must be used to execute it. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a program is developed according to the rule definition conforming to the tablet PC, a separately developed learning engine must be used to execute the program. Or you need to update the already made learning engine. Here, "multi-channel integrated platform" refers to automatically generating a screen and driving the generated screen in an embodiment of the present invention, and may mean an authoring tool that automatically generates a screen of an application, and furthermore, It can also be used to refer to both an application and an authoring tool. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the definition or concept of such terms will not be particularly limited.

The platform development apparatus 110 may include a web-based screen requested by a customer, or in particular, various devices of companies that design an app-based screen. Representatively, an SI (System Integration) company or a web agency may correspond to this. SI companies tend to focus on program development rather than screen design, and web agencies focus more on screen design. The platform development apparatus 110 is developed by receiving a production request from customers who want to provide an online web service or an app service, and for this purpose, an authoring tool according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used. Of course, many authoring tools have been introduced in the past, but as mentioned above, there is no authoring tool that covers all channels and provides an integrated function to automatically map data even in web development.

In other words, the platform development device 110 may use a program developed by itself for the computers of developers of the SI company or web agency, etc. In most cases, it is Accordingly, the platform development device 110 can be used after installing the authoring tool by purchasing a separate storage medium such as a USB or CD from the developer of the corresponding authoring tool, but as seen in FIG. 1 , the authoring tool distribution device 140 online ) to download and install related programs. Here, the authoring tool distribution device 140 may be an operation server operated by the company that owns the authoring tool development apparatus 130 .

Then, the platform development device 110 executes the corresponding authoring tool to design an application web screen that can cover all or selectively cover various types of mobile channels according to the contents requested by the customer, and is mounted on the online service device 150 . can do it Here, the online service device 150 may mean an operation server of a customer who has requested application production. Of course, the authoring tool can be produced and provided by the authoring tool development apparatus 130 that professionally develops and sells or delivers the authoring tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the platform development apparatus 110 executes the authoring tool after installing the authoring tool Thus, various operations can be performed for screen development.

Looking more closely, the platform development device 110 provides a function of automatically generating screen components just by designating the data text (I/O), and automatically mapping the data text to each component, and adapts to the user environment. A suitable test tool, a version control tool that can automatically upload changed screens and resources, a runtime engine, and a communication manager corresponding to various wired and wireless communication environments can be equipped or developed together and provided to customers. In addition, the function differentiated from other IDEs is the ability to automatically create a screen by selecting only the data text (I/O) information, etc. And, after setting the business control properties, the development process is simplified by implementing the corresponding script function. The screen is driven through the runtime engine, that is, the learning engine, and new OS extensibility is made possible through the addition of the runtime engine. Here, the “learning engine” may be included in an application that automatically generates a multi-channel screen, and may be configured separately from the OS. Of course, the learning engine is a SW module, but it will not be particularly limited to such a configuration. Global standard HTML5 screen may be automatically created by drag and drop and freely placed. With automatic data mapping through query maker and data manager, it is possible to implement service screens without hard coding, that is, without a difficult coding process. In other words, developers don't have to do hard coding. In other words, when the multi-application screen is automatically created, data is automatically mapped to minimize coding. In addition, the update of the generated screen enables the execution engine suitable for the operating environment to access the version processing server and automatically update to the latest screen. As such, with one development and authoring tool, application screens for PC, mobile, and web can be automatically created and set to be optimized for various OSs and devices.

The platform development apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be capable of professionally developing, for example, a securities company trading channel (MTS HTS, etc.) using a screen authoring tool. Due to the characteristics of the financial sector, a large amount of data can be processed, so it should be applicable to business fields that require high-speed processing of large data. Accordingly, the platform development apparatus 110 designs an application screen using an authoring tool in comprehensive consideration of various environments.

Although it will be described again later, the authoring tool according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the (screen) authoring tool installed and executed in the platform development device 110 is mutually dependent on different types of terminal devices or OS environments, or data processing methods (Web). All screen designs may be possible in one authoring tool by defining each set data processing rule in a different way, and installing a learning engine in the terminal device to process data according to the defined rule. To this end, a screen may be automatically generated according to a rule definition corresponding to the selected mode by selecting a mode to receive a user command from a developer of a developer or other users. Here, the mode may correspond to a kind of button for selecting a defined rule, and accordingly, the platform development apparatus 110 may perform a preparation state or setting for developing a platform of a specific channel. For example, in the case of a PC, a click is performed using a mouse, but in the case of a tablet PC or a smart phone, a UI operation is performed through a touch through a touch screen. Of course, in the case of user experience (UX), PC and mobile are different from each other. As the UI operation, an operation such as a pinch-in and a pinch-out may be included. As such, when designing an application screen, different rules need to be defined according to various channel characteristics. Therefore, such a rule definition may be set in advance, and the user can automatically create an application screen simply by simply selecting it.

In addition, since the platform development apparatus 110 uses an authoring tool, that is, an application screen is designed according to its own development protocol according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to utilize it, a learning engine capable of interpreting and executing it is required. will be. For example, a compiler or an interpreter is a conversion program, which will convert a high-level language into a machine language used by the user terminal device 100, and as such, the conversion program may be included in the category of a learning engine. Accordingly, the platform development apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may distribute a learning engine together when an application is provided, and thus the learning engines may be logically identical and physically different. Here, "logical" may be a data processing protocol, etc., and "physically different" may mean a different development language. Of course, since the embodiments of the present invention may be logically different, it will not be specifically limited to any one form.

In addition, the platform development apparatus 110 may perform an operation for version processing and testing as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 . In the version processing, when there is an update of the UI screen in a state in which the initial UI screen is designed, the user terminal device 100 may access the online service device 150 providing a service and perform the update, if necessary. For example, using the App Store to update a program is difficult to respond immediately when a problem occurs, and in the case of an iPhone, a period of 1 week or more is required. In the case of financial applications, it is very important to process real-time resource division changes at runtime through its own server without going through the app store. Provides a version management tool for distributing and distributing changed screens, images, environment files, and data files immediately without going through an app market such as the App Store. to manage the up-to-dateness of the runtime real-time resource division change processing target. Of course, a separate version processing operation may be performed when designing an application screen so that the above operation is performed. For example, a separate module can be added for runtime real-time resource partitioning change processing.

In addition, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the platform development device 110 cannot install an analysis tool in a mobile device as in FIG. In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4(b) , a screen developer may receive and analyze data transmitted/received from a test phone in real time from a PC. For example, when authoring a screen, the data transmission path can be designated as the screen developer's test phone in the authoring tool, and this may be sufficient. Because it provides a data log analysis tool for a specific terminal, you can check the data transmission/reception history between the server and the specific terminal on your PC in real time. Of course, the server here may be the online service device 150 of FIG. 1 or a server operated separately for testing.

In addition, the authoring tool of the platform development apparatus 110 may include a module for performing various functions. Through this, it is possible to perform operations such as custom UI components, powerful grids, dynamic tab creation and order movement functions, dual design mode support, SNS interworking function, and resolution resizing without changing the native. In order to provide its function, the authoring tool may include each SW module. The custom UI component provides various controls specialized for financial business, and provides GRID, TABLE, CONTROL (account, item), etc. The powerful grid provides column setting, column fixing, row fixing, cell merging function, and control setting function for special expression (image, button, etc.) in a specific column. The dynamic tab creation and order movement function provides a function for the user to directly add/delete tabs and change the order to compose a custom sub screen. Dual design mode support provides the ability to design the same screen in a double layout (landscape mode/portrait mode) without additional coding. The SNS link function provides a function to share new information and freely exchange opinions by linking news content with Twitter, Facebook, and KakaoTalk to which customers have previously signed up. Resolution resizing without native change checks the resolution of each device by Android and iOS learning engine, and performs operations such as 9-patch image processing for iPhone as well as Android to automatically resize the screen UI and prevent image distortion. Here, nine patch refers to a technology for specifying an enlarged range for preventing icon distortion in Android.

The communication network 120 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, a wired/wireless Internet network may be used or interlocked as the communication network 120 . Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Wibro networks. meaning to include Of course, the communication network 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used, for example, in a cloud computing network under a cloud computing environment, a 5G network, and the like. For example, when the communication network 120 is a wired communication network, the access point in the communication network 120 can connect to a switching center of a telephone company, etc., but in the case of a wireless communication network, it accesses the SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by the communication company to transmit data. data processing, or by connecting to various repeaters such as Base Station Transmission (BTS), NodeB, and e-NodeB.

The communication network 120 may include an access point. Here, the access point includes a small base station, such as a femto or pico base station, which is often installed in a building. Femto or pico base stations are classified according to the maximum number of access to the user terminal device 100 or the platform development device 110, etc. in the classification of a small base station. Of course, the access point may include a short-distance communication module for performing short-range communication such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi with the user terminal device 100 or the platform development device 110 . The access point may use TCP/IP or Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) for wireless communication. Here, short-distance communication may be performed in various standards such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared, radio frequency (RF) such as ultra high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-wideband communication (UWB) in addition to Wi-Fi. Accordingly, the access point may extract the location of the data packet, designate the best communication path for the extracted location, and deliver the data packet to the next device, such as the online service device 150 , along the designated communication path. The access point may share several lines in a general network environment, and includes, for example, a router, a repeater, and a repeater.

The authoring tool development apparatus 130 includes various devices of a developer who develops an authoring tool according to an embodiment of the present invention. More precisely, the authoring tool development apparatus 130 may include a computer device of a developer who develops an authoring tool, that is, a programmer. The developed authoring tool may be stored in a storage medium such as USB and provided to, for example, a user of the platform development device 110, or to a server such as the authoring tool distribution device 140 operated by a developer of the authoring tool to provide it online. can be provided. Here, the authoring tool may be named SmartViGS according to an embodiment of the present invention. The authoring tool authoring apparatus referred to in the embodiment of the present invention is at least one of an authoring tool development apparatus 130 that develops an authoring tool, an authoring tool distribution apparatus 140 that distributes an authoring tool, and a platform development apparatus 110 that develops a platform using the authoring tool It can be understood to include the device of

The authoring tool distribution apparatus 140 may include a server operated by an operator of the authoring tool development apparatus 130 . For example, the authoring tool may be supplied to a company of the platform development apparatus 110 in a storage medium such as USB offline, but may also be supplied online through a homepage or an app repository. Accordingly, the platform development apparatus 110 may access the authoring tool distribution apparatus 140 to install the authoring tool by performing an operation such as making a payment to purchase the authoring tool after performing a membership registration.

The online service device 150 is a service platform developed and provided by the platform development device 110 using an authoring tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, that is, an authoring tool that is easy to author on a multi-channel integrated platform, that is, a service program (eg, : After the app) is loaded, a service can be provided to the user terminal device 100 through this. For example, if the PC version and the mobile version of the app were produced by different authoring tools in the past, in the embodiment of the present invention, the web, the app, and the app produced through one authoring tool according to which device the data processing subject is made on This can be provided and mounted on the online service device 150 to be executed. In order to provide a smooth service to the user terminal device 100 , the online service device 150 may provide and install a learning engine for executing an app screen authored according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, in the case of mobile, if a separate app was produced by simply separating an Android phone and an iPhone, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user selects a device according to not only the model but also PC or mobile, and where the data processing subject is. A learning engine may be provided.

The online service device 150 may correspond to, for example, a multi-channel integrated platform operated by a mid- to large-sized securities company. For example, customer asset management, retirement pension, non-face-to-face account opening, tablet trading system, tablet ODS, tablet branch, smartphone trading system, investment advisory service, push service, etc. are particularly useful in business fields that require high-speed processing of large amounts of data. can be applied. Above all, the online service device 150 according to the embodiment of the present invention performs runtime real-time resource division change processing that does not go through the app market as in the past for high-speed processing of the above large-capacity data, so as to be a bug in the work that requires immediacy. Very useful for patching. The waiting period for application update can be shortened by up to two weeks. In addition, various latest functions such as push, cloud storage function, ticker, chart, SNS linkage, security keypad, and resizing function according to resolution can be provided. Accessibility for the disabled using Voice over and Talk Back can also be improved.

2 and 3 show high-speed processing of large amounts of data through runtime real-time resource division change processing. If the screen UI is automatically generated using full data (I/O) in the platform development device 110, the screen UI is simply developed with only attribute definitions and scripts, and uploaded to the online service device 150, a user terminal device such as an Android phone or iPhone (100) downloads the screen UI file when necessary and updates the internal app, so that fast business processing with the online service device 150 can be performed. For example, when there is an update of the screen UI file, it is notified to the user terminal device 100 in the form of a push message, and through this, the update can be performed.

Looking more closely at large-capacity real-time data processing technology, in the case of apps that have to process large amounts of real-time data, if data processing is delayed in the terminal, the program stops. Therefore, in order to improve this, in the embodiment of the present invention, the drawing-related load occupies about 90% when data rushes in consideration of the fact that the largest part that brings the load of the terminal is the drawing part that displays the screen. . Therefore, when transmitting data for a drawing, information related to the state of the data is transmitted to notify the current data state, and accordingly, data is transmitted when there is a request. Here, drawing is related to data processing for realizing a screen on a monitor.

In order to perform the above operation, the user terminal device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a data receiving unit, a data state calculating unit, and a data drawing unit. Of course, since some or all of them may be included in the online service device 150, the embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to any one configuration. The data receiving unit may receive or receive data from the online service device 150 and store it, the data state calculation unit determines the state of the data received from the data receiving unit, and the drawing unit determines the state of the data determined by the data state calculation unit. It can be seen that, for example, a drawing command is transmitted to the OS by using the information about it. The data drawing unit performs update data processing such as labels and cumulative data processing such as grids, respectively. The drawing unit draws only the last data without drawing if it is piled up by utilizing the accumulated data to process updateable data such as labels. Of course, the user does not recognize such an operation performed in the user terminal device 100 . For example, the OS should actually perform data processing 10 times according to the command of the drawing unit, but users do not recognize the rapid change of data, so only data 1 and 10 are shown to the user. Data from 2 to 9 are not drawn. The drawing unit means drawing all at once after all the data accumulated for a specific time arrives in order to process cumulative data such as a grid. More precisely, it can be seen that the OS generates and provides commands for drawing. The drawing unit can reduce the load by reducing the number of drawings. In this way, the user terminal device 100 can reduce the load by about 20 to 30% by processing the data with the online service device 150 in the above manner.

As a result of the above configuration, that is, it is possible to provide a service by designing an app screen for an authoring tool according to an embodiment of the present invention. The implementation speed is improved by about 5 to 10 times), so there is high development productivity. Also, since the screen UI can be mutually operated on Android or iPhone models without modification, it is possible to support heterogeneous terminals, for example, overlapping screen UI development for each OS. It is improved by more than 2 times through prevention and screen sharing, and it is possible to automatically create and add/change/distribute screen UI without complicated source analysis/compilation to modify the screen UI, so even beginner developers can operate and maintain it stably will do Furthermore, even beginners or screen users can easily develop screen UI through mouse manipulation such as drag and drop, which can contribute to improving manpower operation efficiency. Even the person in charge can develop and operate it with only two weeks of training, so the number of professional manpower can be minimized.

5 is a diagram for briefly examining the software structures and operations of the user terminal device, the platform development device, and the online service device of FIG. 1 .

Referring to FIG. 5 , an authoring tool installed in the platform development apparatus 110 , that is, a screen maker is operated on the OS. Authoring tools may include designers, editors, testers and managers, parsers, and the like in terms of software. Each may correspond to a SW module. The designer is a module for performing design-related operations, the editor is a module for editing operations, and the tester is involved in receiving data from the test phone in real time and using it for analysis as described in FIG. 4 above. It is a module, and the manager is a module involved in a kind of control operation. A manager can be compared to a CPU or MPU by analogy with hardware. The parser refers to the module involved in the data splitting operation.

The multi-channel integrated platform developed by the platform development device 110 is mounted on the online service device 150 to provide a service, and the online service device 150 is connected to various types of user terminal devices 100 ′. When using the service, a learning engine corresponding to it can be used. Of course, the application for which the screen is automatically generated may be provided and used to each user terminal device 100 including the learning engine. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the screen of the app is designed by defining a rule to match a specific environment as mentioned above, in order to execute it, a learning engine corresponding thereto must be used.

As can be seen in FIG. 5 , the user terminal device 100 ′ can be divided into mobile, PC, and hybrid. In the case of a mobile such as a smart phone, an iPhone and an iPad, and in the case of Android, an Android phone and a tablet. It is possible to classify and use an appropriate learning engine, and in the case of a PC, it is possible to execute an app and an app screen with a screen design in a development environment that is suitable for it as a general PC or tablet. Of course, the same is true for mobile or PC web. The web, that is, HTML5, does not include a separate learning engine for executing the app according to the embodiment of the present invention therein, and can use the service in conjunction with the online service device 150 . A server-based game may correspond to a representative example. As can be seen from FIG. 5 , in the embodiment of the present invention, although logical conventions are not different from each other in heterogeneous terminals, a physical element in each logical region, for example, a development language may be different. In FIG. 5 , one user terminal device 100 ′ is shown as if it includes all types of running engines, but this is for convenience of explanation, and in reality, each user terminal device 100 ′ corresponds to its own. It is good to understand that it is equipped with a running engine.

6 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of a multi-channel integrated platform authoring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the multi-channel integrated platform authoring apparatus 110 , 130 , 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a platform development apparatus 110 , an authoring tool development apparatus 130 and an authoring tool when viewed in FIG. 1 . It may include at least one device among the distribution devices 140 . In other words, the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention may be performed by separately installing a program to be performed in different devices, and through this, program development or program execution may be performed. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the platform development apparatus 110 is used for convenience of description.

As a multi-channel integrated platform authoring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the platform development apparatus 110 of FIG. 1 includes a communication interface unit 600, a control unit 610, a multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 and a storage unit 630. Including some or all of, may further include a user interface and the like. The user interface may be a mode selection button for receiving a user command or a voice processing module such as a microphone for receiving a voice command.

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the storage unit 630 are omitted, or some components such as the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 are other components such as the control unit 610. It is described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention as meaning that it can be configured by being integrated with the present invention.

The communication interface unit 600 performs an operation for installing the authoring tool through a storage medium such as USB or connects to the authoring tool distribution device 140 of FIG. 1 online to download and install the authoring tool. . In addition, the communication interface unit 600 may connect to the online service device 150 and perform communication for installing the developed app on the internal server when the application screen development using the authoring tool is completed.

The control unit 610 is responsible for the overall control operation of the communication interface unit 600, the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620, and the storage unit 630 constituting the platform development apparatus 110 of FIG. 1, for example, as shown in FIG. can do. For example, when the user selects a mode to develop an app screen according to a specific rule definition, the controller 610 may automatically generate a screen corresponding to the selected mode. Since settings have already been made according to each rule, when a mode is selected, data can be automatically mapped according to the rule to create a screen. For example, in the case of a PC, if the screen design is designed to be operated by a mouse click, etc., when the user designs the screen of a mobile device such as a tablet PC or a smart phone including a touch screen, pinch-in and pinch-out Since the screen design must be made to operate by the same function, when a developer or a beginner or a screen business manager informs through a mode selection of which mobile environment he or she wants to design a screen to match, the control unit 610 controls the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 By executing , the authoring tool can create an app screen according to the selection mode requested by the user above. Alternatively, the environment can be set to develop the app screen.

For example, if the setting operation is completed, this may mean rule definition, but the controller 610 controls the screen to be displayed according to the operation request when a beginner or a screen task manager performs an operation such as dragging and dropping with a mouse operation. You can have the program automatically coded to be designed. More precisely, it can be seen that data is mapped so that a desired screen is realized by a combination of SW modules or automatic generation rather than coding. In this way, in the embodiment of the present invention, it may be possible to automatically generate a screen UI.

The multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 may be equipped with an authoring tool according to an embodiment of the present invention. By simply selecting a mode, it is possible to design an app screen suitable for various channel environments. For example, when the first mode is selected, an app screen according to the rule definition of the channel environment corresponding to the first mode is designed, and when the second mode is selected, the app screen according to the rule definition of the channel environment corresponding to the second mode This is designed In other words, it is possible to automatically create an app screen by mapping data based on a predefined rule according to a user command of the corresponding mode. Previously, representatively, the operation by the PC mouse function and the operation by the touch function (eg, pinch-in, pinch-out, etc.) on the touch screen of the mobile are different from each other, and therefore the program must be defined according to different rules. Therefore, the rules defined for screen development are different. In addition, in the case of a web-based PC, the rules to define are different depending on where the subject of data processing is, such as whether the game is played on a PC or a server-based game. By selecting the fourth mode, the authoring of the app screen may be made in accordance with the intended channel environment. The multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 selects a mode for PC, mobile, and web when generating a screen after executing the tool. Then, a screen is created and the development environment is set in the selected mode. In addition, the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 may execute the authoring tool under the control of the controller (eg, a manager, etc.) 610 , and thus may operate by selecting a mode therein.

In addition, the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives real-time data through a version management tool for runtime real-time resource division change processing, and a developer test phone, as described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 . Therefore, it may further include a tester module, etc. to analyze it and proceed with development. Therefore, when developing an app, the version processing module (runtime real-time resource division change processing) may be loaded in the app, or resources such as screens, setting files, and images may be automatically updated through the module. In addition, the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 may provide each of the learning engines that can be used for various channel screens when providing the authored app to the customer, the platform company. For example, when the developed app is provided, the learning engine may be provided by the service provider, but may be provided in the app store, etc., so in the embodiment of the present invention, it will not be particularly limited to any one form. However, it is clear that a separate rule engine is required to run the developed app.

The storage unit 630 may store various information or data processed under the control of the control unit 610 . For example, when the control unit 610 connects to the authoring tool distribution device 140 of FIG. 1 and downloads the authoring tool, when there is a load, the control unit 610 temporarily stores it in the storage unit 630 and then the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit ( 620) may be mounted.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 610 of FIG. 6 includes a CPU and a memory, and the CPU and the memory may be configured as a single chip. The control unit 610 may include a control circuit, an operation unit (ALU), a command interpretation unit, a registry, and the like, and the memory may include a RAM. The control circuit may perform a control operation, the operation unit may interpret binary bit information arithmetic processing, and the instruction interpreter may interpret what type of operation the input binary bit information is related to. Here, the analysis may be that after matching the data on the left and right sides of the lookup table (LUT), the control circuit finds the data on the right based on the data on the left and performs the operation. The registry is involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, the CPU copies the program of the multi-channel authoring tool operation unit 620 when the multi-channel integrated platform authoring device 110, 130, and 140 is initially driven, loads the program into the memory, and executes it to speed up the data processing speed be able to increase
