When the user terminal 120 accesses or attempts to access a folder, the folder access management unit 310 receives access from the user terminal 120. More specifically, the folder access management unit 310 may receive an access request for a specific folder from the user terminal 120, and may determine whether to allow the corresponding access by checking the access right of the user.

Here, the folder access management unit 310 may obtain user information associated with the user terminal 120 or identification information of the user terminal, and check access rights to the folder of the user terminal 120. The folder access management unit 310 may allow access only when it is determined that the user or the user terminal has the right to access the folder. In one embodiment, the presence or absence of access rights to the folder may be determined through user invitation by the folder creator when the folder is created. That is, only the user who invites the folder creator to the folder has access rights to the folder.

The folder access management unit 310 may perform management of adding, modifying or deleting a file or sub-folder in the folder based on the request of the folder user, wherein the file is a document transmitted from the user terminal 120 It can contain general user files such as files or multimedia files.

The file list providing unit 320 may provide a file list in a folder and a file badge per user per file for each user. The file list providing unit 320 provides a list of files in a folder.

Here, the file may include all types of objects such as documents, still images, moving pictures, tables, and audio data stored in a folder or accessible through the folder. In addition, the file here can include folder memos, which are notes related to the folder, and business objects related to the folder or files in the folder, or files related to the business objects stored in the folder or accessible through the folder. have. In particular, a file badge for a folder memo may be referred to as a file badge or a folder memo badge. In the case of a file associated with a work object, the update details generated in the work object may be reflected in the file badge of the related file.

Therefore, in one embodiment, the file list providing unit 320 is a folder memo badge of a corresponding user for each of one or more folder notepads associated with a corresponding folder and a file badge of a corresponding user for files in the folder in the process of providing the file list. Is provided to the user terminal 120, and the user terminal 120 can visualize it.

And in one embodiment, when the access to the folder of the user terminal 120 is allowed through the folder access management unit 310, the file list providing unit 320 provides metadata about files and sub-folders in the folder and A list of files including an access path to the corresponding file or sub-folder may be provided to the user terminal 120.

More specifically, when access to the folder of the user terminal 120 is allowed through the folder access management unit 310, the file list providing unit 320 i) metadata about files and sub-folders in the folder A file badge for each user file including a list of included files and ii) modification information performed for each folder user participating in the folder for each of at least one file in the corresponding folder may be provided to the user terminal 120 .

The file badge indicates the cumulative number of update details for a specific file when an update history including all events such as uploading and/or modification, addition, change, update, etc. occurs. However, it is the file badge value according to an embodiment of the present invention that indicates the cumulative number of update details not checked by a specific user rather than the simple cumulative number of update details due to the above-described events. That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the file badge may indicate the number of unconfirmed update details of a specific user among file update details including modifications, changes, etc. from a new upload of a specific file for a specific user.

Therefore, the file badge is not only recorded differently for each file, but also counted, recorded, and visualized separately for each user. This is because when a plurality of users participate in folder sharing, files read or not read by each user and update details of each file are all different. The file badge may be an index that quantifies and displays matters required for future reading and confirmation of a specific file by one specific user.

For example, assuming that there are file 1 and file 2 in the folder, and user A and user B, who are folder users, the file badge for each file per user is corrected and updated information for each of files 1 and 2, and It may include read information on files 1 and 2 of user A and user B, respectively.

That is, when file 1 is uploaded as a file accessible to user A, the file badge value of file 1 becomes 1. And when user A accesses the uploaded file 1 and reads it, the file badge value becomes 0. Thereafter, if n number of file updates occur due to the user B or user C, who is an authorized user, modifying, changing, or adding a memo to file 1, user A will The file badge value of File 1, which is visible to the user, is n. Thereafter, when the user A opens and reads the file 1 to check all n file update details, the file badge value of the file 1 visible to the user A becomes 0 again.

The file badge management unit 330 may detect a modification of a file by an arbitrary user terminal 120 and update a file modification history for each user independent file. Here, the user-independent file modification history for each file includes the user's file modification results for each file. For example, when user Hong Gil-dong modifies file A in a folder, it affects all users of the folder participating in the folder, so that the file modification history for each file is independently updated by the user.

The file badge management unit 330 may accumulate file modification dates for each file modification history for each file during a specific period from the present to the past or according to a specific number of files modified in the process of updating the file modification history for each file. For example, the file badge management unit 330 may sequentially accumulate file modification dates a, b, c, and d, which are generated multiple times with respect to file 1, in the file modification history for each file. It can reflect file modifications that occur over a year or three months or up to 100 times.

In one embodiment, the file badge management unit 330 determines a specific number based on Equation 1 below in the above process, and accumulates the file modification date according to the determined specific number of files in the file modification history for each file. can do. For example, _assuming that m _av1 and m _av2 are detected as 2.6 and 1.4, and n ₀ is set to 50, the file badge management unit 330 calculates n as 93 according to Equation 1 below. The calculated n may be determined as a specific number for accumulation of file modification dates.

And here, the second specific section means a time section longer than the first specific section. In addition, here, n ₀ represents the reference cumulative number (eg, 100) and may be set by a user or designer,

Means an operation that rounds the internal value to an integer.

When a modification of a file is detected in the process of updating the file modification history for each file, the file badge management unit 330 may reflect user information of the corresponding user terminal 120 in the file modification history for each file together with the file modification date. For example, the file badge management unit 330 may accumulate a file modification date and a user who performed the modification in the file modification history for each file whenever a file modification occurs for file 1.

The file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for each file of a corresponding user based on a file access time for each file of a corresponding user associated with user information and a file modification history for each file in the process of providing a file badge for each user. .

For example, the file badge management unit 330 may modify the file modification date of the file 1 from the file modification history of each of the files 1 and 2 in the folder 1 where the user A is allowed access. 2017.10.21 12:08:51, 2017.10 .24 10:32:08 and 2017.10.25 18:13:07 can be found. If it is confirmed that the date and time that the user A accessed the file 1 last time is at 13:35:05, 2017.10.22, the file badge management unit 330 operates on October 24th, 2017 at 10:32:08 and at 18:13:07. A file badge for the file 1 of the corresponding user A may be calculated as 2 by counting the file modifications that have occurred in.

That is, if the number of unconfirmed revisions other than the revisions confirmed or read by a specific user among the total number of revisions of a specific file is counted, the result value becomes the value of the file badge of the corresponding file displayed to the user. To this end, according to an embodiment, a file badge value is calculated by comparing the time when a file is modified and the time when the user most recently accessed the file, and the number of modifications accumulated since the time when the user finally accessed the file. Can be reflected.

The file badge management unit 330 provides a file badge for each file for each user to the user terminal 120 to cause the user terminal 120 to display a list of files related to the folder. File badges can be made visible together.

The file badge management unit 330 detects reading of the file by the user terminal 120 and updates the badge of the corresponding user. In one embodiment, the file badge management unit 330 may detect access to a specific file by a corresponding user, update a file access time for each file, and update a file badge for each file of the corresponding user.

For example, when the user terminal 120 of the user [Jaeho Choi] is in the corresponding file list and opens or downloads the [Filter quality assurance plan], which is the file badge [3], the file badge management unit 330 Among them, the file badge of the file can be updated from [3] to [0].

The file badge management unit 330 accumulates file badges for each file for the folder and subfolders of the user based on the file access time for each file and the file modification history for each file, and accumulates the file badges in the folder. Can be reflected in the count. For example, as described above, the file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for each file based on the file access time for each file of the user [Jaeho Choi] and the file modification history for each file.

In an embodiment, if there is a folder notepad, the file badge management unit 330 may separate and manage a file badge for a general file and a file badge for a folder notepad, respectively. The file badge management unit 330 may provide the user terminal 120 with file badges for each user, in which file badges related to the folder notepad are separately managed, so that the user terminal 120 displays each separately.

For example, the user terminal 120 displays a file badge for the corresponding file of the user based on the received file badge for each user, and for general files, through the file list first file badge accumulation count symbol. The number of updates may be indicated, and for the folder notepad, a file badge related to the folder notepad to which the user has access rights may be displayed through the file list second file badge accumulated count symbol to indicate the corresponding update number.

In addition, the processor 210 may further include a related file modification history management unit (not shown). When a related link to a specific file is created in the folder notepad, the related file modification history management unit detects the modification of the specific file by an arbitrary user terminal 120 that occurs after the point in time, so that the user is independent of the specific file. You can update the file modification history.

Here, the file may include not only a general file object, but also a folder notepad, a work object, and a file associated with the work object, as described above.

In one embodiment, when a file is generated, the processor 210 may vectorize a plurality of contents constituting the file based on a sequential file arrangement, and add contents based on a time flow from the time of creation of the file. , Whenever correction or deletion occurs, the corresponding content may be connected and managed as a vector with at least some of the existing contents.

For example, when the generated files are sequentially composed of Content 1, Content 2, and Content 3, the processor 210 may manage the corresponding contents as a vectorized sequential list of Content 1-Content 2-Content 3. In addition, if a modification is detected in which content 1 is modified to content 1'' by a folder user and content 4 is added between content 1 and content 2 at the modification date and time after the creation time of the corresponding file, content 1 is changed to content 1''. Vector connection and vector connection between the content 1 and the content 2 to the content 4.

The processor 210 may detect the reading of the corresponding file by the user terminal 120 and track the contents of the file modified since the most recent access date and time for the corresponding file by the user.

More specifically, when an attempt to read the file is detected or detected by one of the folder users, the processor 210 checks the last access time for the file by the user, and By analyzing the files managed as a vectorized sequential list, it is possible to detect contents modified after the access date.

For example, if the processor 210 determines that the user's last access date to the file is between the modified date and time a and the modified date and time b, the content 2” (modified), content 5 (added), content 3 (deleted) and Content 6 (addition) can be detected as the content in the file recently modified in relation to the user.

In addition, the processor 210 provides the modified content in the tracked file to the user terminal 120 in the process of providing a file or a list of files, so that when the user terminal 120 opens and displays the file, the modified content in the file The part can be displayed by applying a specific color, a specific font, or a specific size different from the rest of the unmodified part.

For example, when the user terminal 120 opens and displays a corresponding file, the processor 210 may use the content 2” (modified), content 5 (added), and content tracked as the content in the recently modified file in the above example. The parts corresponding to 3 (Delete) and Content 6 (Add) are displayed in red, so that the user can visually and intuitively recognize the recently modified part of the entire file from the user's point of view, providing convenience when checking can do.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a folder-based file management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A folder-based file management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a memory and a processor electrically connected to the memory.

Here, the folder access management unit 310 of the processor 210 may first detect that the user terminal accesses the folder or receive a signal corresponding thereto (S610). In this process, it can be verified first whether the corresponding user terminal has access rights to the corresponding folder. Here, user terminal information, user identification information of a user corresponding to the user terminal, and the like may be used. That is, the folder access management unit 310 may receive or obtain user identification information of a user corresponding to the user terminal from the user terminal, and check whether the user terminal has access rights to the folder.

The file list providing unit 320 may provide a file list of files in the folder according to the authority of the user terminal accessing the folder (S620). Among the files located in the folder or accessible through the folder, the user terminal has access rights, so that the file list can be provided by configuring only files in the folder to which the user terminal is allowed access. Even in the process of inferring only files to which the user has access rights, user identification information or information on the user terminal may be used.

For example, a user designated as a shared user, a folder user, a work sharer, or the like for a corresponding folder may be allowed to access the folder. And, for each file, there may be a bar set in advance for access rights. That is, even among users sharing the same folder, files to which each user has access rights may be different from each other.

The file badge management unit 330 may determine the access history of the corresponding user for each of the files accessible to the corresponding user and calculate a file badge value unique to the user for each file. In addition, the file list providing unit 320 and the file badge management unit 330 may provide a file badge corresponding to a file allowed to be accessed by the user terminal together with the file list. In addition, the file badge may be displayed together with each file item on the file list.

Here, the file badge may be a symbol indicating the number of file update details that have not yet been read by the user terminal when a file that is permitted to be accessed by the user terminal is uploaded or updated, and file update details occur. In addition, for a specific file, the number of file update details that have not yet been read by the user terminal may be a file badge value displayed on the file badge of the file.

The file badge management unit 330 detects file update details including file modification, change, and memo addition, and may independently update the file modification history for each file according to the update details for the file. I can. In addition, the file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for each file corresponding to each user based on the file modification history for each file, user identification information, and file access time for each file of the user terminal.

Here, the file may be a folder notepad associated with the folder. Here, the folder notepad may be a notepad including a folder memo that can be materialized as a notepad associated with a folder in the user terminal by checking the access right of the user terminal and can be modified and tracked.

Even in this case, the file badge management unit 330 may detect the update history of the folder memo and reflect it in the revision history of the folder memo. In addition, the file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for the folder notepad, that is, a folder memo badge, using the folder memo modification history and user identification information and the access date and time information of the user terminal to the folder notepad. Can be continuously updated.

In addition, the work object or a file related to the work object may also be one of the files in the embodiment of the present invention. Here, the task object is accessible through a folder, and is encapsulated including information on one or more of the task indicator, task handler, task instruction content, and task processing content. In addition, the task object may be fed back by one or more of a task processor or a task indicator.

In this case, when the work object is generated in association with the file, the file badge management unit 330 reflects the creation of the work object to the file modification history for the file, and reflects the result to issue a file badge for the file or work object. Can be updated.

That is, when a work object is associated with a specific file, a work object related to the file is created, and the file badge value corresponding to the file may increase by 1. Likewise, when n number of updates are made to the related work object, this is also reflected in the file badge of the file to which the work object is associated, and the file badge value of the file can be increased by n.

Therefore, the file badge management unit 330 detects the update details of the work object and reflects it in the work object modification history, and the work object modification history reflecting the update details, user identification information, and the last access date and time information of the user terminal to the work object. A file badge corresponding to a work object or a file associated with the work object can be created by using, etc., and it can be continuously updated.

Thereafter, the file badge management unit 330 may provide a file badge for each file together with a file list based on the calculated file badge value (S630). In addition, the file badge may be provided and displayed on the user terminal along with the file list.

In addition, the file badge management unit 330 receives information on whether to access a file by the user terminal afterwards from the folder access management unit 310 and information on the last access date and time for each file, and receives the user terminal for each user and file. You can update the last access date and time information. In addition, the file badge management unit 330 may update the file badge for each file corresponding to each user by repeatedly periodically collecting the update result of the last access date and time information.

In addition, the file badge management unit 330 may provide update details for the corresponding file to the user terminal.
