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

The folder access receiving unit 310 may obtain user information associated with the folder access terminal 120 to check the access right of the folder. The folder access receiving unit 310 may allow the corresponding access only when the access right of the corresponding user is checked. In one embodiment, the access rights of the folder may be determined through user invitation by the folder creator when the folder is created.

The file list and file badge providing unit 320 provides a file list in a folder and a file badge per user per file. More specifically, the file list and file badge providing unit 320 is allowed to access the corresponding folder of the folder access terminal 120 through the folder access receiving unit 310 (1) files and sub-folders in the folder (2) a file-specific file badge for each user, which includes a list of files containing metadata relating to and (2) modification information performed for each folder user participating in the folder with respect to each of the at least one file in the folder. 120). For example, a file badge for each file by user assumes that there are files 1 and 2 in the folder, and that user A and user B, who are the folder users, modify information about user A's files 1 and 2 and user B, respectively. May contain modification information about each of files 1 and 2 of the.

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

The file badge management unit 330 may accumulate file modification dates in the file modification history for each file during a specific section in the past or a specific number of file modifications from the present time in the process of updating the file modification history for each file. For example, the file badge management unit 330 may sequentially accumulate the file modification dates a, b, c, and d, which occur multiple times for the file 1, in the file modification history for each file, and based on the present time point in the past It can occur for a year or three months or reflect up to 100 file modifications.

In one embodiment, the file badge management unit 330 determines a specific number based on Equation 1 below in the process, and accumulates the file modification date according to the file modification as much as the determined specific number 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 to 93 according to Equation 1 below. The calculated n may be determined as a specific number for accumulating file modification dates.

The average number of corrections generated per day during the second specific period (eg, in the last three months) is represented, wherein the second specific period means a time period longer than the first specific period. In addition, n ₀ represents a reference cumulative number (eg, 100) and may be set by a user or a designer,

Is an operation that performs rounding operation to an internal value.

The file badge management unit 330 may reflect the user information of the corresponding folder access terminal 120 in the file modification history for each file along with the corresponding file modification date when a file modification is detected in the process of updating the file modification history for each file. For example, the file badge manager 330 may accumulate the file modification date and the user who performed the modification in the file modification history for each file whenever a file modification is generated for the file 1.

The file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for each user based on a file access time of each file associated with the user information and a file modification history for each file in the process of providing a file badge for each file. . For example, the file badge management unit 330 changes the file modification date of the file 1 from the file modification history of each of the file 1 and the file 2 in the folder 1 to which the user A is allowed. 2017.10.21 12:08:51, 2017.10 .24 10:32:08 and 2017.10.25 18:13:07, and if the user A's last access to file 1 is 2017.10.22 13:35:05, By modifying the file modifications occurring at 10:32:08 and 2017.10.25 18:13:07, the file badge for the corresponding file 1 of the user A may be calculated as 2.

In one embodiment, the file badge management unit 330 may manage a time stamp as a time displacement parameter for each file for each of the at least one file in the folder and reflect the time stamp in the file badge for each file. have. Here, the time stamp may include a generation time, a last modified time and a last access time. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the file badge management unit 330 may generate a file badge for each file defined by a file time stamp for each user, and may access or access each file for each user. Each time a modification occurs, the file badge for each file may be updated. In addition, the file badge management unit 330 may calculate and update a file badge for each file for each user based on the file badge for each file updated in real time, as shown in FIG. 4 (b). If the user of the folder access terminal 120 requesting access to the user A may provide the folder access terminals 120 with file badges 0, 1, and 2 relating to the files 1, 2, and 3 in the corresponding folder.

The file badge management unit 330 provides the file access for each file reflecting the file badge of the user to the folder access terminal 120 so that the folder access terminal 120 displays a file list of the corresponding folder. You can have file badges for each of at least one file in a folder. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the file badge management unit 330 performs the user-specific pertaining to the corresponding folder of the user [Cho Jae-ho] while the folder access terminal 120 visualizes the file list of the [4.Productivity] folder. Each file badge [0], [[file filter first], [filter quality interview] and [filter strategy interview] for each of the files [functional filter quality], [filter quality interview method] and [filter strategy interview] based on the file badge by file 3] and [0], and in the case of the file badge [3] of [Filter quality assurance method], the user [Cho Jae-ho] opened the file to another user since the last time he opened or downloaded the file. This indicates that a total of three modifications have occurred.

The file badge management unit 330 detects the reading of the file by the folder access terminal 120 and updates the badge of the corresponding file of the user. In one embodiment, the file badge management unit 330 may detect the access of a specific file by the user to update the file access time for each file and update the file badge for each file of the user. For example, the file badge management unit 330 is a file for each file for each user if the folder access terminal 120 of the user [Cho Jae-ho] is in the file list and open or download the [filter quality assurance method] that is the file medium [3] The file badge of the file in the badge can be updated from [3] to [0].

The file badge management unit 330 accumulates file badges in files of the corresponding folder and subfolders of the user based on the file access time of each file and the file modification history of the file. 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 of each file and the file modification history for each file, as shown in FIG. 7. The cumulative calculation of file badges generated by accumulating the generated file badges for the entire folder [4.Productivity] [6] and the sub-folder [mass production facility building] substructure The file badge accumulation count [2] may be displayed through the folder list first file badge accumulation count symbol 712 and the file list first file badge accumulation count symbol 722, respectively.

In one embodiment, if there is a shared notepad, the file badge management unit 330 may separately manage each of the file badges for the common file and the file badges for the shared notepad. The file badge management unit 330 may provide a folder access terminal 120 with a file access for each user, in which file badges for a shared notepad are separately managed, so that the folder access terminal 120 displays each separately. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the folder access terminal 120 uses the file list first file badge cumulative count symbol 722 for the general file based on the received file by file for each user. The file badge for the corresponding file can be displayed to indicate the number of updates. For the shared memo pad, the file badge for the shared memo pad to which the user has access can be obtained through the file list second file badge cumulative count symbol (728). It can be displayed to indicate the number of updates.

The shared notepad manager 340 may provide a shared notepad in the process of providing a file list and a file badge for each file. Here, the shared memo pad may provide a shared memo pad that is shared among at least one folder user, includes an associative link to a specific file in the folder, and includes a shared memo that can be modified and tracked. In one embodiment, the shared notepad management unit 340 is a shared notepad to materialize the file list window 720 and the corresponding shared notepad to materialize the file list in the process of the folder access terminal 120 to display the file list of the folder. It is possible to associate and provide a window 730, for example, if one of the two windows is coordinated through the user interface, the other can be moved correspondingly together.

The shared notepad manager 340 may generate a shared notepad for the folder before providing the shared notepad. In one embodiment, when the shared notepad creation request is received by one of the folder users participating in the folder, the shared notepad manager 340 may generate a shared notepad in the folder. When a shared notepad is created by default, one shared notepad can be created in the folder whenever a request for creating a shared notepad is received from the folder user.

When the shared notepad is generated by the shared notepad creator corresponding to one of the folder users, the shared notepad manager 340 may determine at least one shared memo participant participating in the shared notepad through customization by the shared notepad creator. have. Here, at least each shared memo participant may correspond to a folder user of the corresponding folder. In one embodiment, the shared notepad manager 340 may view the shared notepad to each of the at least one shared memo participant based on the customized information about the viewable and modifiable persons included in the user specified by the shared notepad creator. Which can optionally be granted a view right (eg read only) or a right to modify (eg read / write).

In one embodiment, the shared notepad management unit 340 first performs a folder sharing invitation for each of the at least one user if the request for customization is performed for at least one user who is not a folder participant. Once the folder sharing invitation is approved, you can perform customizations. In one embodiment, the shared notepad management unit 340 may set access rights for the shared notepad to all folder users when there is no separate user specification by the shared notepad creator.

The shared notepad manager 340 may select the shared notepad allowed to be accessed by the corresponding user, and provide the folder access terminal 120 with a list of shared notepads including the selected shared notepad and an access path thereof. For example, if a plurality of shared notepads are created in the folder, the shared notepad manager 340 may selectively provide only shared notepads having access rights set to the corresponding users. You will not be able to verify the presence of the shared notepad.

The shared notepad manager 340 may perform an operation according to the following embodiments when an association link for a specific file is generated in the shared notepad.

In one embodiment, the shared notepad management unit 340 detects the modification of the specific file by any folder access terminal 120 generated after the point in time when the associated link to the specific file is generated in the shared notepad, the specific You can update the user-independent associated file modification history for a file. For example, the shared notepad management unit 340 generates the associated notepad for the file [filter quality secured] in the shared notepad [filter quality secured creator must read] of the folder, and converts the shared notepad to the file [filtered quality secured]. And a user-independent file modification history of the file can be generated and updated by detecting the modification of the file from the time of creation of the corresponding link. That is, in this case, the specific file associated with the shared notepad is the original file in that folder and reflects the latest modifications as of the current point in time, and file modifications to that specific file are reflected in the user-specific file modification history. Can be.

In another embodiment, the shared notepad management unit 340 may include a copy of the file of the specific file in the shared notepad when the associated link to the specific file is generated in the shared notepad. For example, the shared notepad management unit 340 may generate an association link related to the file [filter quality assurance scheme] in the shared notepad [filter quality scheme creator's readiness note] of the folder, at the time of generation of the associated link [ You can create a copy of the [Filter quality assurance plan], save it in the shared notepad, and access the copy through the relevant link. In other words, in this case, the specific file associated with the linked Notepad is a copy file copied at the time of the association and does not reflect recent modifications to the original file after the association. It is not reflected in the file modification history.

When the shared notepad is associated with a specific file through an associated link, the shared notepad manager 340 may control the specific file to be opened or modified only when accessing the specific file through the shared notepad. For example, the shared notepad management unit 340 may restrict the user from opening or downloading only read-only when the user accesses the file linked to the shared notepad through the file list, and the associated link of the shared notepad. You can control the file to be opened or downloaded so that it can be modified only when the file is accessed through.

The shared notepad manager 340 may manage the shared memo as a sequential list of vectorized time series. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a process in which the shared memo manager of FIG. 3 manages the shared memo as a sequential list vectorized in time series.

In FIG. 5, the shared notepad manager 340 detects modification of a shared memo by an arbitrary folder access terminal 120 and manages the shared memo as a sequential list vectorized in time series based on the creation date and the modification date and time. have. In one embodiment, when the shared memo is generated, the shared memo manager 340 may vectorize a plurality of contents constituting the shared memo based on a sequential memo array, and based on the time flow from the time of creation, Whenever an addition, modification or deletion occurs, the corresponding content may be managed by connecting with at least some of the existing contents as a vector. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the created shared memo is sequentially configured as Content 1, Content 2, and Content 3, the shared notepad manager 340 is a vectorized sequential list of Content 1-Content 2-Content 3. If the content 1 is modified to the content 1 '' by the folder user and the content 4 is added between the content 1 and the content 2 at the modification date a after the creation time, the content 1 is changed to the content 1 '. We can vector-link with 'and vector-link between content 1 and content 2 with content 4.
