[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in the present specification will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Unless otherwise specified herein, similar reference numerals in the drawings represent similar components. The exemplary embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not intended to be limiting, and other embodiments may be utilized and other changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the technology disclosed herein. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the components of the present disclosure, i.e., the components generally described herein and illustrated in the drawings, can be arranged, configured, combined, and designed in various different configurations, all of which are expressly contemplated and form a part of the present disclosure. In the drawings, the width, length, thickness, or shape of the components may be exaggerated to clearly represent various layers (or films), regions, and shapes.

[0029] When one component is referred to as being "provided" to another component, this may include cases where the one component is provided directly to the other component, as well as cases where additional components are interposed between them.

[0030] When one component is referred to as being "provided" to another component, this may include cases where the one component is provided directly to the other component, as well as cases where additional components are interposed between them.

[0031] The description of the disclosed technology is merely an example for structural and functional explanation. Therefore, the scope of the disclosed technology should not be construed as limited by the embodiments described herein. In other words, since the embodiments are capable of various modifications and may take various forms, the scope of the disclosed technology should be understood to include equivalents that can realize the technical concepts.

[0032] Singular expressions should be understood to include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and terms such as “comprises” or “has” should be understood to specify the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part or combination thereof, but not to exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the disclosed technology pertains. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted to be consistent with their meaning within the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless explicitly defined herein.

[0034] The computer disclosed in this specification includes a typical desktop, laptop, tablet, XR device, etc.

[0035] The display disclosed in this specification includes a conventional monitor, TV, virtual space, etc.

[0036] A computer work environment guide system referring to an embodiment of the attached drawing 1 or drawing 2 includes a program recording module (100), a location recording module (200), a work environment recording module (300), and a guide module (400).

[0037] The program recording module (100) can record and store the execution status of an executed program. The execution status may include the start time, assigned session information, assigned user, etc., and the program execution status may be stored in a storage unit such as a typical database.

[0038] The location recording module (200) can store location information of a program output to the display (1) as shown in Fig. 2. The location information can include the program's output coordinates, size, rotation information, and displayed display information. The program's location can be stored in a storage unit such as a typical database.

[0039] Meanwhile, the location recording module (200) can further store size information of the program output to the display (1).

[0040] The work environment recording module (300) can store the program execution status and the location of the program output on the display (1) by setting them as one work group.

[0041] Meanwhile, the work environment recording module (300) can be set to save as one work group, including the size of the program output on the display (1).

[0042] The guide module (400) executes a program set in the work group. The guide module (400) ensures that the executed program remains in the same state as the saved execution state. To be more specific, if a video is being edited, the program is executed in the last executed state so that the worker can continue the work he or she is currently working on. The guide module (400) ensures that when the program is executed, it is reproduced and output on the display (1) according to the location of the saved program.

[0043] Meanwhile, when a program is executed, the guide module (400) can calculate new location information such as a new location or new size to match the size of the stored program and output it to the display (1) at an appropriate location.

[0044] The computer work environment guidance system described above can reproduce a multitasking environment in which a worker uses a computer and multiple programs. More specifically, it reproduces the multitasking environment by reproducing the files (data) and work statuses used by the multiple programs used by the user, as well as the locations of the programs' outputs on the display (1). Furthermore, it can optimally maintain the multitasking environment by calculating new location information, such as adjusting the size of the stored programs or new locations or sizes, and outputting them on the display (1) in appropriate locations.

[0045] Meanwhile, the execution status of a program may utilize data generated by the auto-save function included in the program.

[0046] Meanwhile, the database can also be implemented as a cloud server.

[0047] A computer work environment guide system referring to another embodiment with reference to the attached drawings 3 to 10 includes the program recording module (100), the location recording module (200), the work environment recording module (300), and the guide module (400) described above, but may further include a filtering module (500).

[0048] The program recording module (100), location recording module (200), work environment recording module (300), and guide module (400) are identical to those in the above embodiment, so detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0049] The filtering module (500) is provided to determine essential programs required for work among the executed programs. At this time, it would be appropriate for the work environment recording module (300) to set the programs filtered through the filtering module (500) as a work group. As an example of the filtering module (500), if the programs that are run on a computer and output to the display (1) are a document writing program, a web browser program required for data collection, a document file-related program, and a messenger program, only the document writing program, the web browser program, and the file-related programs required for document work, excluding the messenger program, are extracted as essential programs. The extracted programs are set as a work group through the work environment recording module (300).

[0050] For example, the filtering module (500) may include an active filter unit (510) referring to FIGS. 3 and 4.

[0051] The active filter unit (510) may be configured to be driven by a computer and extract programs output on the display (1) and determine them as essential programs. To explain in more detail, programs that are running in a Windows environment but are only output on the taskbar of the Windows environment output on the display (1) are excluded, and only programs output on the display (1) are determined as essential programs so that the running status can be confirmed.

[0052] Meanwhile, a program selected through a typical input device, such as a mouse, can also be extracted as an essential program. As an example of Fig. 4, when creating a video using a computer, a video editor, a text subtitle editor, a translator for selecting a foreign language to be used in the subtitles, an illustration (such as Adobe Illustrator) for designing text, Photoshop (such as Adobe Photoshop) for designing images to be inserted into the video, and various files and folders containing files required for the video are typically used. The presence or absence of these programs can be extracted through an input device and determined as essential programs. In addition, in a typical virtual space, essential programs can be extracted through a sensing value that detects the user's gaze.

[0053] Furthermore, the accuracy of selection of essential programs can be improved by calculating the selection frequency through the input device and applying weights.

[0054] As another example, the filtering module (500) may include a clip filter unit (520).

[0055] The clip filter unit (520) referring to FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 may be configured to extract programs associated with a typical clipboard in a Windows environment and determine them as essential programs. Considering the situation described above when attempting to create a video using a computer, a translator, a subtitle editor, and an illustration program using the clipboard may be extracted as essential programs.

[0056] As another example, the filtering module (500) may include a data filter unit (530).

[0057] The data filter unit (530) may be configured to extract programs that use or share specific data and determine them as essential programs. Considering the situation described above when attempting to create a video using a computer, Photoshop, which created a specific image file, and the video editor that used that specific image file may be determined as essential programs. Furthermore, by tracking text information, Illustrator, a text subtitle editor, and a video editor with inserted subtitles, which use foreign languages ​​in the translation, may be determined as essential programs.

[0058] As another example, the filtering module (500) includes at least one of the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) described in the above example, but may further include a circulation filter unit (540).

[0059] The active filter unit (510), clip filter unit (520), and data filter unit (530) have the same configuration as the above example, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0060] In this example, the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be included independently, and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the clip filter unit (520) may be determined as an essential program, and a program extracted through the clip filter unit (520) and the data filter unit (530), a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the data filter unit (530), and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be determined as an essential program.

[0061] The circulation filter unit (540) referring to FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 extracts elements such as output to the display (1), selection through an input device, use and sharing of data, etc., which serve as the basis for determining essential programs determined by the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530). The circulation filter unit (540) extracts the occurrence time of the extracted elements. The circulation filter unit (540) derives the usage order of essential programs based on the occurrence time. The circulation filter unit (540) extracts the programs that are circulated in the usage order of essential programs and determines them as essential programs. In the case of a situation in which a video is to be produced through the computer described above, the circulation filter unit (540) extracts a foreign language to be used in subtitles from among the essential programs extracted independently or in combination from the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530), inserts the translated foreign language into the video editor through text subtitle editing, and then extracts a cycle of programs in the order of a translator, a text subtitle editor, a video editor, and a translator that translates the foreign language to be used in another subtitle, and finally determines the program as an essential program.

[0062] Meanwhile, accuracy can be further improved by using the number of cycles as a weight.

[0063] The computer work environment guide system including the filtering module (500) described above has the effect of being able to accurately set and reproduce the program required for the worker's work through the filtering module (500).

[0064] Another example (not shown) may include at least one of the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) described in the above example, but may further include a time filter unit.

[0065] The active filter unit (510), clip filter unit (520), and data filter unit (530) have the same configuration as the above example, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0066] In this example, the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be included independently, and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the clip filter unit (520) may be determined as an essential program, and a program extracted through the clip filter unit (520) and the data filter unit (530), a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the data filter unit (530), and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be determined as an essential program.

[0067] The time filter unit can extract additional essential programs for a predetermined period of time based on the occurrence time of the elements that serve as the basis for the determination of the determined essential programs, and make a final determination of the essential programs to be included in the same work group.

[0068] Another example (not shown) may include at least one of the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) described in the above example, but may further include an artificial intelligence filter unit.

[0069] The active filter unit (510), clip filter unit (520), and data filter unit (530) have the same configuration as the above example, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0070] In this example, the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be included independently, and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the clip filter unit (520) may be determined as an essential program, and a program extracted through the clip filter unit (520) and the data filter unit (530), a program extracted through the active filter unit (510) and the data filter unit (530), and a program extracted through the active filter unit (510), the clip filter unit (520), and the data filter unit (530) may be determined as an essential program.

[0071] The artificial intelligence filter unit may include an artificial intelligence filter unit that outputs a linkage index or linkage status from an artificial intelligence model to determine whether a program is essential based on information from the filter unit based on the occurrence time of an element that serves as the basis for determining the essential program.

[0072] Linkage status refers to data output in the form of inclusion or exclusion by determining whether a program judged as essential is included in the existing work group.

[0073] The linkage index represents data output in the form of the probability that a program deemed essential will be included in an existing workgroup. It may or may not be included in an existing workgroup based on specific criteria set by the user or the entire system.

[0074] From the above, it will be understood that various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described for illustrative purposes, and that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to limit the scope and spirit of the present disclosure, and the true scope and spirit will be set forth in the claims that follow.
