## Abstract

A method for managing modules, performed by a module management apparatus, may comprise receiving a module generation request from a user; generating a module according to the module generation request and transmitting the module to the user; receiving a module registration request from the user; and registering the module according to the module registration request.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for managing modules, performed by a module management apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a module generation request from a user;
generating a module according to the module generation request and transmitting the module to the user;
receiving a module registration request from the user; and
registering the module according to the module registration request.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating a module list for the module registered according to the module registration request.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, wherein the module list is composed of a plurality of modules associated with a function performed by the generated module for which the registration is requested.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating a smart data platform including a plurality of modules.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the generating of the smart data platform comprises:
receiving a smart data platform generation request from a user;
transmitting a module list including a plurality of modules to the user;
receiving information on a module selected from the module list from the user; and
generating the smart data platform based on the information on the selected module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method according to claim 5, wherein the information on the module selected from the module list is information on the module selected by the user from the module list through a keyword search.

### Claim 7

A module management apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing at least one instruction executable by the processor,
wherein when executed by the processor, the at least one instruction causes the module management apparatus to:
receive a module generation request from a user;
generate a module according to the module generation request and transmit the module to the user;
receive a module registration request from the user; and
register the module according to the module registration request.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The module management apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the at least one instruction further causes the module management apparatus to generate a module list for the module registered according to the module registration request.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The module management apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the module list is composed of a plurality of modules associated with a function performed by the generated module for which the registration is requested.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The module management apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the at least one instruction further causes the module management apparatus to generate a smart data platform including a plurality of modules.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The module management apparatus according to claim 10, wherein in the generating of the smart data platform, the at least one instruction further causes the module management apparatus to:
receive a smart data platform generation request from a user;
transmit a module list including a plurality of modules to the user;
receive information on a module selected from the module list from the user; and
generate the smart data platform based on the information on the selected module.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The module management apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the information on the module selected from the module list is information on the module selected by the user from the module list through a keyword search.
