Accordingly, unlike the conventional work system development method, the work system development apparatus 110 may proceed in parallel with the design stage, the development stage, and the test stage without sequentially performing the design stage, the development stage, and the test stage. For example, in the conventional work system development method, when a work system is developed by coding a program, when the work environment is changed or the function of the work system is changed, the program must be modified and an error occurs when an error occurs when the program is modified. Recovery can take a long time. On the other hand, by developing a work system without coding a program, the work system development apparatus 110 may quickly reflect a change in a work environment or a change in a function of a work system in a work system, and perform a test immediately after the work system is modified. It is possible to minimize the occurrence of errors in the program.

In one embodiment, the work system development apparatus 110 may authenticate the designer and generate the work system according to the control of the designer who has successfully authenticated. As an example, the work system development apparatus 110 may authenticate a designer accessing the work system development apparatus 110 through an authentication method such as SSO integrated authentication.

In addition, the work system development apparatus 110 may be connected to the network 120 to communicate with the work system providing server 130. In one embodiment, the work system development apparatus 110 may convert the developed work system into metadata and transmit the converted metadata to the work system providing server 130. The work system providing server 130 may provide a work system to the user based on the received metadata. For example, the work system providing server 130 may provide a work system as a web service or as a mobile service. For example, the work system providing server 130 may provide a work system using various browsers by supporting HTML5, or provide a work system by supporting various web standards. In addition, the business service providing server 130 may generate a database for the business system and provide the created database to the user.

As another example, the work system development server 130 may perform transaction processing of sections constituting each page of the work system based on the received metadata, thereby connecting linked pages, and linking each page. The reflected metadata may be returned to the work system development apparatus 110. The work system development apparatus 110 may perform UI rendering of each page based on the returned metadata, and may generate a work system including pages and pages by querying data of sections.

Hereinafter, the work system development apparatus 110 and the work system providing server 130 will be described in more detail.

2, the work system development apparatus 200 may develop a work system without writing a program. Here, the work system may mean a system for electronically processing the entire work process including at least one detailed work process. For example, one entire business process may include a plurality of detailed business processes, and each of the plurality of detailed business processes may proceed sequentially or in parallel, and each of the plurality of detailed business processes may be independent. . In addition, the tasks or performers of each of the plurality of detailed work processes may be the same or different. For example, if the patent management process is an entire business process, the patent management process may include three detailed business processes, an invention notification process, an invention review process, and a patent application process, and an invention notification process, an invention review process, and a patent The detailed business process may proceed in order of the application process, and the task or performer of the invention notification process, the invention review process, and the patent application process may be different.

The process map may be modified based on the received correction information.

The data module 220 may set at least one entity of a station included in the process map and a condition of data for the entity. Here, the entity is a component of each station, for example, if the work of the station is 'transfer agreement of the invention', the entity of the station may be the assignee, the assignee, the transfer invention, the date of the transfer. In addition, the data module 220 may define the object by setting the number of objects, the name of the object, and the like, and may set a condition of data for the object. For example, a condition of data for an object may include any condition that can define the data, such as the number of data for an object, the properties of the data, the type of data (numbers, characters, etc.), and the maximum size of the data. Can be. In addition, the data module may create a table including the object and the data about the object, and manage the data about the object and the object based on the table.

The UI module 230 may generate an object UI representing an object and an object data UI representing data about the object. In one embodiment, the UI module 230 may generate the object UI and the object data UI according to a predetermined default design scheme. For example, the UI module 230 may configure the object UI with text of size 20 and the object data UI with text of size 10 according to a predetermined basic design scheme. In addition, the UI module 230 may receive at least one modification information of the object UI or the object data UI, and may modify the object UI and the object data UI based on the received correction information. For example, the UI module 230 may provide a GUI for receiving correction information and may receive correction information through the GUI.

The interworking module 240 may provide an interworking interface interworking with an external device to transmit and receive information. The interworking module 240 may receive information necessary for interworking with an external device, define an interworking interface by setting an external device, a communication method, and the like according to the received information. In one embodiment, the interworking module 240 may receive information necessary for interworking with an external device through a GUI, and set an external device, a communication method, etc. according to the received information, and provide an interworking interface.

The interworking module 240 may provide an interworking interface, and the process module 210, the data module 220, and the UI module 230 may transmit and receive information with an external device through the interworking interface. For example, at least one of the process module 210, the data module 220, or the UI module 230 may be one of the process map, the object, data about the object, the object UI, and the object data UI through an interworking interface. Information for updating at least one may be received, and at least one of the process map, the object, data about the object, the object UI, and the object data UI may be updated using the received information. For example, if the entire work process is a patent management process, and the work of the station of the detailed work process is a 'provision of the registered patent information', the interworking module 240 may link the table of the individual related to the registered patent information and the patent information. You can set the interworking interface to interoperate with the database of an external server that provides. Accordingly, the data module 220 may receive patent information from a database of an external server providing patent information through an interworking interface, and update data on an entity related to registered patent information by using the received patent information. .

As another example, the data module 220 may generate a table including a payment requester entity, a card number entity, a use date entity, a use amount entity, and a use entity. At this time, the data on the card number object, date of use object, the amount of money object may be updated based on the card usage information received from the external card integration server. In this case, when the data about the card number object, the date of use object, and the amount of money object are linked with the external card integration server, the user immediately receives the card usage information from the external card integration server without inputting the data separately. Data for card number object, date of use object, and amount of money object can be updated.

The control module may generate metadata representing information for implementing a business system based on a process map, an object, data about an object, an object UI, and an object data UI. For example, the control module may predetermine information about a station, a task processed at the station, a task performer performing a task, processing conditions of the station, and information about the flow of the station, an object, data about the object, an object UI, and an object data UI. It can be structured according to the method to generate metadata.

The control module may generate a detailed business interface for processing the detailed business process based on the metadata. Here, the business interface may represent a screen displayed to the designer or the user to indicate the detailed business process. The control module may generate a detailed work interface corresponding to the detailed work process and generate a work system composed of the detailed work interfaces.

As the work system is generated without writing a program, the work system development apparatus 200 may check the operation of the work system immediately after generating the work system. In one embodiment, the control module may simulate the work system based on the metadata to confirm the operation of the work system and detect an error of the work system based on the simulation result.

In addition, the control module may transmit and receive information with the external device through the interworking interface.

In addition, the control module may transmit metadata to a work system providing server that provides a work system to a user. For example, the control module may transmit metadata to a work system providing server that provides a work system to a user through an interworking interface. The work system providing server may implement a work system using metadata and provide a work system to a user.

In addition, the business system development apparatus 200 may manage an object based on a section and configure a detailed business interface. Here, the section may be defined as a group of the object UI included in the area of the minimum unit of the detailed business interface.

When there is more than one object UI displayed on the detailed business interface, the UI module 230 may divide one or more object UIs into sections according to predetermined criteria. For example, the UI module 230 divides the area of the detailed business interface into the area of the minimum unit according to a predetermined criterion, classifies the object UI included in the area of the divided minimum unit into groups, and classifies the area into the classified group. You can set the embedded object UI to be a section. The control module can manage each section as one table. For example, objects corresponding to object UIs included in a section may be set as one table. In addition, the control module may perform transaction processing of the station on a basic basis.

In addition, the work system development apparatus 200 may document and output data necessary for generating the work system. For example, the business system development apparatus 200 may generate and output a process design book and a UI design book based on a process map, an object, data about an object, an object UI, and an object data UI.

In addition, the work system development apparatus 200 may analyze the influence generated when the work system is changed, and output the impact analysis document by documenting the influence.

In addition, the work system development apparatus 200 may receive information about a database to build a database for the work system, and generate and output a database design document based on the information about the database.

In addition, the work system development apparatus 200 may immediately modify a work system when a detailed work process is modified according to a change in a work environment or a function of the work system is modified according to a change in a function requirement. This simply modifies the modification request to the process module 210, data module 220, UI module 230 or interworking module 240 as the work system is created without writing a program, and the control module processes This is because modifications made by the module 210, the data module 220, the UI module 230, or the interworking module 240 may be simply reflected in the detailed business interface. For example, if at least one of a process map, an object on a station, data for an object, object UI, or object data UI has been modified, the control module may modify the process map, modified object, data for the modified object, modification The detailed business interface can be modified based on the updated object UI or modified object data UI. Accordingly, the work system development apparatus 200 may modify the work system quickly in response to a modification request even after the work system is provided to the user by the work system providing server, and thus, the work system may be quickly and efficiently maintained. have.
