Abstract
Work support system and method with device sharing and development system for multi-platform application disclosed. The work support system with device sharing may include a user terminal in which a service application is installed and executed, a device configured for executing a predetermined operation according to a control command, a device terminal directly connected to the device, and a device sharing server configured for enabling the user terminal to use the device by communicating with the user terminal and the device terminal, managing information of the device that is sharable, and allowing a sharing of the device under a predetermined condition in response to a request from the user terminal.
Claims6
A work support system with device sharing, comprising:
- a user terminal in which a service application is installed and executed;
- a device configured for executing a predetermined operation according to a control command;
- a device terminal directly connected to the device;
- and
- a device sharing server configured for enabling the user terminal to use the device by communicating with the user terminal and the device terminal, managing information of the device that is sharable, and allowing a sharing of the device under a predetermined condition in response to a request for sharing device from the user terminal,
- wherein the device sharing server performs a device directory function and a proxy server function for transmitting device control information,
- wherein the device sharing server comprises:
- a device directory management unit configured for registering and managing the device that is shareable in a device directory,
- a device status check unit configured for checking and updating a current status of the device registered in the device directory, and
- a device control unit configured for, when receiving the request for sharing device from the user terminal, checking the device directory to confirm a right of a user who sent the request for sharing device, and enabling access control within a range corresponding to the right,
- wherein the device control unit compares a location information of the user included in the request for sharing device with a location of the device registered in the device directory so that a device in a relatively short distance is given high priority.
A work support method performed in a work support system with device sharing having a user terminal, a device terminal and a device sharing server, comprising:
- in a device sharing server, receiving a device information from a device terminal and performing a device registration when a device to be shared is connected to the device terminal;
- in the device sharing server, synchronizing the device information to a device directory;
- in the device sharing server, receiving a request for sharing device from a user terminal;
- in the device sharing server, generating a device list in which a priority of the device is set based on a right of a user corresponding to the request for sharing device and a location information of the device with reference to the device directory to transmit the device list to the user terminal;
- in the device sharing server, receiving a request for shared use for the device in the device list from the user terminal;
- and
- in the device sharing server, transmitting a control command according to the request for shared use to the device terminal to control the device according to the control command,
- wherein the device sharing server performs a device directory function and a proxy server function for transmitting device control information,
- wherein the generating the device list compares the location information of the user included in the request for sharing device with the location of the device registered in the device directory so that a device in a relatively short distance is given high priority,
- wherein the generating the device list comprises:
- checking the device directory to see if the user has a right to use the device,
- retrieving adjacent device terminal based on the user's network information and GPS location information, and
- generating the device list by assigning priority according to an availability of the device that is checked through a device status information to the device that is connected to the adjacent device terminal and sorting by the priority.
