Apparatus for managing folder and method for the same

Abstract

An apparatus for managing a folder, includes: a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the memory. The processor is configured to detect access of a user terminal, provide a folder list for folders or a file list for files in a folder, and when an access authority of the user terminal to a specific folder is confirmed, provide a folder memo pad including a folder memo in a process of providing a folder list and a folder badge associated with the specific folder, wherein the folder memo is realized as a memo pad associated with the specific folder in the user terminal and for which modification is tracked.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for managing a folder, the apparatus comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor electrically connected to the memory,   wherein the processor is configured to   detect access of a user terminal,   provide a folder list for folders or a file list for files in a folder, and   when an access authority of the user terminal to a specific folder is confirmed, provide a folder memo pad including a folder memo in a process of providing a folder list and a folder badge associated with the specific folder, wherein the folder memo is realized as a memo pad associated with the specific folder in the user terminal and for which modification is tracked.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor provides a modification history or an update history of the folder memo pad to the user terminal through a file badge of the folder memo pad. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, when the folder memo pad is generated in association with the specific folder, the processor reflects the generation of the folder memo pad in a folder modification history and updates a folder badge value of the specific folder in response to the generation and update of the folder memo pad. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, in the case of a folder memo pad associated with the specific file, the processor reflects the generation of the folder memo pad in a file modification history and reflects an update history generated in the folder memo pad in a file badge value of the specific file. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, when an update history such as modification or change of the folder memo pad is detected, the processor manages user information on a user who has performed the corresponding modification along with the corresponding modification time. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the processor provides user information on a user who has modified the corresponding memo together in a process of providing tracked memo content of the folder memo pad and displays memo content modified by different users in different colors, fonts, or sizes. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, upon sensing or detecting the fact that the user terminal has read the folder memo pad and the update history, the processor searches for a modified file generated after the most recent access time at which the corresponding user has accessed the corresponding folder memo pad and tracks modified memo content by comparing content between the corresponding modified file and a file before being modified immediately before the file modification. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, in a process of providing the folder list, the processor performs a statistical operation on the basis of at least one of all folder memo pads and folder chat rooms associated with the respective folders and subfolders of the corresponding folders, task objects, the number of task objects generated through the folder memo pads or the folder chat rooms, the number of processed task objects, task orderers, and task handlers, and reflects the statistical operation in an accumulated statistics count of the corresponding folders. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor provides a folder memo pad search function of searching for a specific folder memo pad among folder memo pads present in a folder or a substructure at a request of the user terminal. 
     
     
         10 . A folder management method performed by a folder management apparatus including a memory and a processor electrically connected to the memory, the method comprising:
 detecting access of a user terminal,   providing a folder list of folders or a file list of files within a folder, and   when an access authority of the user terminal to a specific folder is confirmed, providing a folder memo pad including a folder memo in a process of providing a folder list and a folder badge associated with the specific folder, wherein the folder memo is realized as a memo pad associated with the specific folder in the user terminal and for which modification is tracked.
