No. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. In order to facilitate overall understanding when describing the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same components in the drawings, and duplicate descriptions of the same components are omitted. Figure 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a user device, a publishing platform system, and an administrator device. Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 1, we will look at a publication management method using an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. User devices and administrator devices refer to devices that can connect to the publishing platform system server (via a wired or wireless network). Generally, PCs, laptops, tablets, smart watches, wearable devices, smart phones, etc. can be used. The present invention In the online publishing platform system 10 according to the embodiment, the administrator accesses the platform publishing platform system server through the web browser of the administrator device and then checks the writing status of the author using the online publishing platform system. This is a diagram showing the overall management web page of the online publishing platform system's publishing management method. The dashboard web page of the online publishing platform system's publishing management method has four stages: planning, publishing, and sales. Included, each stage may include a detailed status, the number of articles in progress in the detailed status, and the ratio of these articles, and the administrator may use the dashboard web page of FIG. 2. Through this, the overall flow can be viewed by dividing the publication object into four stages: planning, writing, publishing, and sales, so the manager can check and manage the publication object being managed and in progress for each stage at once. Since the progress is shown by dividing it into detailed states, the manager can easily determine the number and ratio of books at each stage. At this time, the manager is the person in charge of managing the publication progress of the publication object at the publisher and/or the manager edits it at the publisher. The administrator may be a person in charge of work and is given an ID and password to log in to the system, and the administrator is given the authority to manage and check the system. Although the case where the administrator logs in through the administrator device has been described, the administrator device is not particularly limited, and the writer using the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention publishes to the platform through the web browser of the user device. After connecting to the platform system server, you can proceed with writing activities. Writers can proceed with the planning stage as an early part of the writing process. More specifically, at the planning stage, the writer can write the basic information that forms the basis of the work, such as synopsis, table of contents, characters, character relationships, theme, writing direction, etc. When a writer creates planning content for a work through a user device, the publishing platform system server counts the number of written planning content, and the counted number and its ratio can be displayed in the planning item. Planning items can be subdivided into creation, locking, and writing approval requests, and each subdivided step is carried out through processing of user devices and administrator devices, and mutual requests and approvals, and the number of progresses in each detailed step is included in the planning item. displayed. For example, when a writer creates plan content through a user device, it is counted in the creation stage; when the writer locks the plan content, it is counted in the locking stage; and when the writer completes the creation of the plan content, it is counted in the number of creation stages. It is counted at the writing approval request stage, where writing approval can be requested from the device. At this time, the ratio corresponding to each step may also be calculated and displayed. After the planning stage is completed, when the writer requests writing approval through the user device, the writing item is moved to writing approval, and the number of writing approvals is counted. This is a web page displayed during the writing approval stage of the publication management method of the online publishing platform system. When the administrator through the administrator device selects a writing approval item to look at the specific contents of the writing located in the writing approval, a web page is displayed. More specifically, article statistics are displayed for authors requesting author approval, including title, type, and activity level. The title refers to the title of the publication, and the type can be classified into whether the publication is for the author's personal collection, for public use for free, or for sale for a fee. And, activity refers to the behavioral index of the writer performing writing activities. More specifically, the activity index refers to the active activity index of the writer's efforts to write the article. In other words, the higher the activity level, the more actively the author is writing. For example, the visit cycle of logging into the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention through the user device, the number of visits, the time for writing activities after the visit, the number of pages of the work created through writing activities, etc. The active indicator invested in writing an article can be expressed as an activity index. In other words, the higher the activity index, the more active the writer is in writing the work. Administrators can check the activity index through the administrator device and consider the activity index when proceeding with a publication contract. The activity index can be calculated by assigning weight to the visit cycle of logging in, the number of visits, the time spent writing after the visit, and the number of pages of articles created through writing activities, and then combining these. At this time, the weight assigned to each factor constituting the activity index can be adjusted to reflect data showing the correlation between the activity index of articles written through the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention and the final writing period. there is. For example, if past data shows that the writer's login visit cycle has a greater impact on the final writing period than other factors, the greatest weight can be assigned to this factor. This shows a web page displayed in the writing approval stage of the publication management method of the online publishing platform system according to another embodiment of the present invention. In another embodiment, in addition to activity, it may additionally include a title popularity trend index (and an author index). In the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention, keywords are extracted from the titles of the works currently managed through the administrator device. After calculating the title popularity by counting the extracted keywords, this can be displayed in the title popularity, since the more the keywords extracted from the title overlap, the more likely it is that the title will appeal to the public. In addition, in the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention, keywords are extracted from the planning contents of the articles currently managed through the administrator device, and then compared with keywords that are issues through the search site. Keywords searched through search sites can be managed as big data. Keywords managed as big data can be updated on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, and past, present, and future interests can be displayed. Accordingly, a trend index can be calculated by comparing keywords extracted from the titles of articles and keywords managed by big data, and the calculated trend index can be displayed in an embodiment of the present invention. In other online publishing platform systems, the author index can be calculated by combining evaluation factors for the author, such as reader evaluation of the author's past publications, sales volume, and expert evaluation, and then display the calculated author index. Since this author index is a quantified evaluation of the author's past publications, the administrator can check the author's writing activity status through the administrator device and publish based on this. More specifically, since it refers to the writing activity index of the author's writing activities, it can be used as an indicator of trust in the author in the past after the publisher and the author signed a writing contract. From our perspective, we only hoped that the author would complete the writing within the writing contract period, and there was no way to take any additional action against the author. As a result, publications could be delayed in publication, which could cause unexpected losses to publishers. However, in the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a writing contract is concluded based on the writer's writing activities, so publication can be completed within the desired period and the publication rate can also be increased. In particular, in the case of works that require publication as soon as possible, a publication contract can be concluded by referring to the activity index. In addition, the title popularity, trend index, and author index can be used as a reference to predict the sales volume of written works, so a publishing contract can be concluded by referring to the title popularity, trend index, and author index. In the embodiment of the present invention, activity, title popularity, trend index, and author index are shown as one indicator, but they are not necessarily limited to this, and various indicators necessary for managing writing can be additionally displayed, and the manager can refer to these indicators. You can. In addition, indicators such as activity, title popularity, trend index, and author index include the number of authors using different online publishing platform systems in embodiments of the present invention, the author's writing status, external search keyword big data, and sales volume/evaluation of past publications. can be reflected and displayed in real time. The administrator can request a publishing contract after listing the contract terms for the written work. Contract terms refer to the terms of a general publishing contract and may include writing completion date, down payment, profit sharing conditions, etc. The author can check the publication contract requested by the administrator and approve the publication contract. At this time, if some of the terms and conditions of the publication contract require discussion and revision, the author may request consultation and revision from the administrator by stating these details. Once a publishing contract is concluded between the manager and the writer, the writer can proceed with writing according to the schedule of the publishing contract. This is a web page that displays information on books in progress in the publication management method of the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The author can display specific information about the book he or she is writing. More specifically, it may include edition type, current writing status, capacity, type, title, subtitle, and domain, and may also include the writing status of the book and book structure. In this way, since the information of the book is displayed in detail, the administrator can specifically check and manage the writing status of the author who logs into the system and performs writing activities in the publication management method using the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention. can do. Additionally, after activating the manuscript development part of the book's writing status, the administrator can communicate with the author by sending a message. This represents a message sent by the administrator of the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention to the author. In the publication management method using the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the manager can check the author's manuscript development status, write a message to help the author progress with writing, and then send the written message to the author. For example, if a writer is in the writing process and is in the approval stage, the administrator can check the writer's writing status, select a message such as "If the manuscript is partially complete, request a writing contract," and send this message: You can write and send it to the writer along with a message that specifically explains, "After the writing contract is completed and the manuscript is completed, the manuscript will be reviewed and refined." As such, the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention can transmit various messages depending on the author's writing status. Messages to be sent to the author depending on the writing status are stored and managed in advance on the publishing platform system server, and the administrator can select an appropriate message and send it to the author through the administrator device. The administrator of an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide an appropriate guidance message to the writer using the system according to the writer's writing status, so the writer can conveniently perform writing activities using this system. . Additionally, from the administrator's perspective, by sending these messages, the author can efficiently manage and monitor the author's writing progress so that there is no problem in completing the writing by the scheduled publication date. Messages sent and received through this system include messages in which specific content can be written in addition to a structure that can be selected in the form of a template, so writers and administrators can write the content of the message in more detail. Additionally, the message may include messages transmitted from the user device to the administrator device in addition to messages transmitted from the administrator device to the user device. In this way, the user device and the administrator device can communicate bidirectionally about writing activities through sending and receiving messages. In the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention, writing is completed after requesting a publishing contract and approving the publishing contract. After writing is completed, the completed writing can be published. At the publishing stage, before it is finally sold, you can publish a beta version of the work, request a beta review, and then reflect the beta review. Review opinions may include a variety of opinions, such as opinions on the content of the written work, opinions on typos, and opinions on the structure of the writing. Data collected about articles published in beta version can be reflected in the published contents. For example, the time a publication is read, the number of pages the publication is read, the number of users who read the publication, etc. can be indicators for determining the publication's future sales index. This data is collected automatically, and the collected data can be used to determine whether to publish, how many copies to publish, and predict sales. The beta version can be distributed through an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention to receive review opinions from administrators and/or writers who use the system. Additionally, the beta version may be distributed through a route other than the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention to receive review opinions from specific readers and/or experts. The received review comments are transmitted to the user device and/or the administrator device, and the administrator and/or writer can modify the content of the article by reflecting the review comments displayed on the user device and/or the administrator device. Books for which beta review has been completed are in the process of being published. In the publishing stage, the publication is organized into a sellable state by reflecting the cover, layout, and design for selling the publication, and then proceeds to the sales stage. If necessary, during the publishing phase, the author may express opinions on the cover, layout, and design for selling the publication. In the sales stage, the number of publications sold among the final completed publications is displayed. Additionally, the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention can collect readers' review opinions regarding publications being sold. When purchasing a product online, review opinions about the publications being sold can be collected, such as reviews of online products, and the collected opinions can be managed as big data. If the publication you are selling is in the form of an e-book, you can ask readers who purchased the e-book to write a review opinion, and provide future benefits to readers who wrote a review opinion. . Collected review opinions can be classified and managed as big data according to readers' basic information such as age, gender, and orientation. In addition, review opinions collected through such big data can be provided to authors. Therefore, when writing the next work, the author can reflect these review opinions and provide readers with articles of interest. For example, as a result of analyzing review opinions, if there are many revision opinions on the part related to table of contents 2 of the work written by the author, when writing a new version of the same work, the author should focus on the content related to table of contents 2. You can make changes and create a new version of the work. With reference to Figure 1, we will look at a publication management method using an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Writing content is input through the user’s device. After the writer logs in to the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the written content is input. In order to use the online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the author may receive an ID through membership registration and then log in to the system by entering the ID and password. While logged in, write on the web page provided by the system. The writing process can proceed in the order of first entering the plan content and then inputting the content corresponding to the plan. Content entered through the user device is transmitted to the publishing platform system server. The publishing platform system server divides the author's writing status into stages of planning, writing, publishing, and sales, creates a web page that can be managed and confirmed, and then transmits the created web page to the administrator device. In addition, the publishing platform system server calculates an activity index by combining the visit cycle of logging into the system for each writer, the number of visits, the writing activity time, and the number of pages of articles created through writing activities, and then applies the calculated activity index to the web site. reflected on the page. After logging in to the system through the administrator device, a web page containing the writing status of authors using the system is displayed. More specifically, since a web page is displayed on the administrator device, the administrator can conveniently check the overall flow and publication objects using the system by dividing publication objects into four stages - planning, writing, publishing, and sales - through the dashboard web page. and can be managed. When the activity index of the writer's effort to write a work is displayed through the manager device, an input is received to select the writer with whom to conclude a publishing contract based on this. More specifically, the web page can be displayed on the administrator device, and the publisher's administrator can check the activity index through the web page and take the activation index into consideration when proceeding with the publishing contract. The activity index can be calculated by assigning weight to the visit cycle of logging in, the number of visits, the time of writing activities after the visit, and the number of pages of articles created through writing activities, and then combining these. In addition, you can additionally check the title popularity, trends, and author index, and you can sign a publishing contract by referring to the figures of these indexes. In the first step, a message is sent to the writer's user device to guide the writing process. The administrator device may transmit a message corresponding to the author's manuscript development status to the user device. The user device can proceed with the writing process using the received message. At this stage, when the writer completes the writing according to the instructions, a publication containing the completed writing content is created and sold. In addition, it collects review opinions from readers about publications being sold and provides the collected review opinions to the user's device. Accordingly, the user device can create a new article that reflects the review opinion. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is described as proceeding sequentially from step 800 to step 850, but this is an embodiment presented to explain a publication management method using an online publishing platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is just work, and may proceed differently from the above order. In this way, according to the publication management method using the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the manager can classify and manage the content of the writing being written by each stage, and after such confirmation, enter into a publishing contract with the writer. Since a contract can be concluded, there is no problem of delaying the publication schedule, and the content of the writing can be sufficiently verified in advance. In addition, according to the publication management method using the online publishing platform system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the publisher and the author can conveniently communicate with each other about the writing content and writing progress during the writing process, so the author can concentrate only on writing. It becomes possible. In addition, the present invention allows a publisher to provide feedback from buyers to authors after publication of a publication, so that the feedback from buyers can be reflected in future publications, and provides an opportunity for authors with low popularity to publish, You can conveniently manage publication materials. Embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as a computer-implemented method or as a non-transitory computer-readable medium on which computer-executable instructions are recorded. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by a processor, the computer-readable instructions may perform a method according to at least one aspect of the present invention.
