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

The IT developer matching system 10 operates an IT developer mediation platform to connect members with IT developers who produce mobile applications, web pages, and other applications, and without incurring additional costs to members granted membership qualifications. We can provide detailed estimates for program production from multiple IT developers.

The mediation server 100 is a device capable of hosting an online network and capable of designating a network address, and can exchange data with the member terminal 200, the IT developer terminal 300, and the database through a network.

The mediation server 100 provides an operating environment for an IT developer matching application and a web page executed in the member terminal 200 and the IT developer terminal 300, and provides a temporary quote generated by self-analysis and an IT developer terminal (300A to 300N). ) can provide the IT developer estimate received from the members. The 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 developers with the temporary estimated cost determined by the mediation server 100 .

The mediation server 100 includes a communication unit 110, a proposal reception unit 120, an AI keyword analysis unit 130, a program proposal generation unit 140, a production cost calculation unit 150, a temporary estimate generation unit 160, a bidding It includes a page management unit 170 and an outsourcing contract management unit 180, and 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 function. It may mean a unit that processes an operation.

The communication unit 110 may transmit and receive data with the member terminal 200 and the IT developer terminal 300, and may transmit and receive data with a LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), WCDMA (Wideband) Code Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), LTE (Long Term Evolution), EPC (Evolved Packet Core), and the like can be used, and are not limited to any one communication method.

The plan reception unit 120 may receive a desired plan including functions and designs necessary for a program to be produced from the member terminal 200 through the communication unit 110 . Since there is no limit to the method of drafting the project plan, functions necessary for the program to be produced can be implemented in various forms such as text, picture, photo, and voice in the project plan.

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

Depending on the embodiment, the proposal receiving unit 120 may machine-translate the text included in the desired proposal into Korean if it is written in a foreign language. If the text in the foreign language is a specialized programming language or there is no language corresponding to Korean, the original text is translated without translation. It can keep its shape.

According to another embodiment, the plan receiving unit 120 may analyze a picture or photo included in the desired plan, recognize and extract text included therein, and may recognize a program function included in the picture or photo. . For example, when a picture of a program screen is captured and a chatting window is recognized therein, the proposal receiving unit 120 may extract the text of the chatting window.

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

The AI keyword analysis unit 130 may analyze the text of the desired proposal using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, and a known natural language processing engine may be used. The AI keyword analysis unit 130 Morphological analysis, which analyzes words included in the text into morphemes, which are the smallest semantic units, attachment of parts of speech in the most appropriate form among the results obtained through morphological analysis, and syntactic analysis through analysis in phrase units and clause units can be done

In addition, the AI keyword analysis unit 130 may analyze text using an Internet search engine. For example, when it is difficult to recognize text through a natural language processing engine because there is a new meaning word that is not stored in the database, such as a coined word, the AI keyword analysis unit 130 may perform analysis through the search result from the Internet page. there is.

The AI keyword analyzer 130 may summarize text using a natural language processing engine and an Internet search engine, and extract key keywords by determining a similarity between a text summary result and a pre-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 necessary for the development of a program to be produced. can do.

Each of the core keywords extracted by the AI keyword analyzer 130 is vocabulary related to the implementation of a function of the program, and a plurality of core keywords related to the implementation of one function may exist. The program proposal generation unit 140 may generate a program proposal consisting of essential components by classifying core keywords for each function.

For example, when the first to fifth core keywords are extracted by the AI keyword analysis unit 130, the program proposal generation unit 140 does not generate program proposals according to the number of core keywords, but programs classified by function. A plan can be created. If the first to third core keywords are related to a multiperson chatting function, the fourth core keyword is related to Android-based function implementation, and the fifth core keyword is related to a video call, the program proposal generation unit 140 It is possible to create a program proposal including a multi-person chat function, Android-based function implementation, and video call.

According to an embodiment, when the extracted core keyword is the name of a previously distributed program, the program plan generation unit 140 reads the existing program data to determine essential functions constituting the previously distributed program, and determines the essential functions. It is possible to create a program production plan consisting of

According to another embodiment, when the name of a pre-distributed program and other core keywords exist among the extracted core keywords, the program plan generating unit 140 composes the pre-distributed program by reading the pre-distributed program data. It is possible to determine and create a program production plan composed of essential functions corresponding to the determined essential functions and other core keywords.

The production cost calculation unit 150 may calculate an estimated cost necessary for production of a program to be produced by matching essential functions to a pre-stored cost table. The cost table is a kind of lookup table generated by accumulating production costs of previously produced programs, and the cost table may include production costs for each essential function.

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

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

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

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

For example, when it is determined that the essential functions included in the program plan are 'multilateral chat function, Android-based function implementation, and video call', the provisional quote generator 160 determines 'multi-party chat function, Android-based function implementation, and video call'. ' You can create a tentative estimate with estimated costs for each.

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

When the program production budget is included in the program production plan, it may be difficult for IT developers to actually reduce costs as they prepare an estimate for the IT developer in accordance with the program production budget. Accordingly, the bidding page management unit 170 may register a program production proposal including only essential functions required for program production in the outsourcing bidding page.

The outsourcing contract management unit 180 may conclude a program development contract between a member and a selected developer in response to a matching acceptance message received from the member terminal 200 . When signing 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 contract brokerage award money and developer development cost according to a predetermined ratio and provides only the developer development cost to the IT developer terminal 300. .

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

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

The database 400 stores and manages data necessary for the operation and maintenance of the IT developer matching system 10, and reads or writes keyword data, cost tables, etc. required for AI keywords under the control of the mediation server 100. can

First, the member terminal 200 may receive user information from the user, proceed with subscription to the IT developer mediation platform, and grant membership of the IT developer mediation platform to the user (S100).

Then, the member terminal 200 may receive program implementation plans described in various ways such as text, voice recording files, video files, and photo files from members (S102), and arrange the input program implementation plans according to the plan format. It is possible to generate a desired proposal (S104).

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

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

Then, the mediation server 100 may classify the extracted core keywords according to whether or not costs are incurred according to function implementation to generate a program plan consisting of only essential functions necessary for developing a program to be produced (S110).

In addition, the mediation server 100 may calculate an estimated cost required for production of a program to be produced by matching essential functions to a pre-stored cost table (S112). Here, the cost table may include an average cost value for each essential function of previously produced programs.

Then, the mediation server 100 may generate a temporary estimate 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 the temporary quote from the mediation server 100 and display it on the screen (S116, S118). The member can primarily determine the cost required for program production by the mediation server 100 even before receiving a quotation from the IT developer using the temporary quotation.

In addition, since the estimated cost for each essential function included in the provisional estimate is the cumulative average of the production costs of pre-produced programs in the past, the reliability of the estimated cost is secured and can be used as a reference for members to select an IT developer in the future. .
