Method and system for supporting recording of user activities

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for supporting recording of user activities.

[0002] In recent years, the demand for Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), which are systems that store and manage data generated or used in laboratories, has been increasing.

[0003] LIMS can be used in various technical fields, but in the case of experiments on microorganisms, the integrity of the data generated during the experiment is considered very important in terms of the reliability of the experimental data.

[0004] However, the conventional LIMS failed to guarantee the integrity of such data, and despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of images of microbial culture media were being captured each month, users had to classify and manage these images one by one, or search for them one by one and insert them into documents such as reports, which was a very inefficient operation.

[0005] Accordingly, the inventor(s) of the present invention propose a technology that receives a request to record user activity that is the subject of an audit trail, and records information about the user activity, including the type of the user activity, information about the user who performed the user activity, and the time at which the user activity was performed, while restricting changes to the information about the user activity after it has been recorded.

[0051] First, the request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention can perform a function of receiving a record request for user activity that is the subject of an audit trace.

[0052] Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an audit trail may mean recording the processing of information (or data) or auditing the recorded data in order to determine whether information recorded in a system such as a server or a user's activity for recording such information complies with a given regulation (e.g., U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 11, etc.) or satisfies a given standard (e.g., whether the stored information is original).

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the types of user activities that are subject to such audit trails may include, but are not limited to, capturing images of target objects (e.g., microbiological cultures), changing status regarding a user (e.g., changing team affiliation), changing status regarding a specific record location (e.g., moving or deleting a specific folder), and processing approval of a report regarding a specific subject (e.g., a specific test).

[0054] However, the types of user activities according to one embodiment of the present invention are not limited to those listed above and may be varied within the scope of achieving the objectives of the present invention. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, user activities may include setting permissions for user accounts, creating / deleting accounts (or signing up / withdrawing membership), backing up data, issuing documents, downloading data, and managing organizations.

[0055] Continuing, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a user may request a recording of user activity by attempting to capture an image of a target object using the device (300) (e.g., by selecting a camera icon), attempting to change a status regarding the user or a specific recording location, or proceeding with payment of a report on a specific topic, and the request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention may receive such a recording request.

[0056] Next, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can perform a function to record information about user activity, including the type of user activity, information about the user who performed the user activity, and the time at which the user activity was performed.

[0057] Here, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information about a user who performed a user activity may include information about the name, account, rank, title, affiliation (e.g., team, company, etc.) of the user who performed the user activity. However, information about a user according to one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-listed information, and may be varied within the scope that achieves the purpose of the present invention.

[0058] FIG. 3 is a diagram exemplarily showing information regarding user activity recorded according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can record information about user activities, including the type of user activity, information about the user who performed the user activity, and the time at which the user activity was performed. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 3, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information about the connection IP, connection region, and connection (or use) device (300) at the time when the user used the record support system (200) to perform the user activity (or record information about the user activity) may be further included.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, information about user activity may be recorded in a storage such as a device (300), a server (not shown) capable of communicating with the device (300), a cloud system, etc., and may be recorded in one or more storages.

[0061] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information about user activity may be restricted from being changed after the information has been recorded. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, after the information about user activity has been recorded, at least some of the information about user activity may be unchangeable, may be changed only by users with certain permissions, or may be changed only when certain conditions are met. These restrictions on change will be described in detail through the embodiments introduced below.

[0062]

[0063] Example 1: Capturing images of a target object

[0064] As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the type of user activity may be capturing an image of a target object, for example, a microbial culture. Furthermore, the request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention, in response to determining that a recording request for the user activity is valid, may cause information regarding the user activity to be recorded. In this case, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the captured image may be further included in the information regarding the user activity.

[0065] FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are drawings exemplarily showing a process of capturing an image of a target object according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] For example, referring to FIG. 4, the request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention may receive a request to record user activity in response to a user attempting to capture an image of a target object (410) using the device (300). As another example, referring to FIG. 5, this request to record user activity may be received while the image capturing module (not shown) of the device (300) is operating.

[0067] And, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention, in response to determining that the record request received as above is valid, can record information about user activity, that is, capture an image of a target object and record the captured image.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 4, for example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can determine that such a record request is valid when the image capturing of the target object is performed in conjunction with a predetermined software (400) (i.e., when the image capturing of the target object is performed through a predetermined software (400). According to one embodiment of the present invention, such software may mean an application installed in the device (300) or SaaS (Software as a Service), but is not limited thereto, and may be variously changed within the scope that can achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0069] For another example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may determine that such a record request is valid when an image capture of a target object is performed by a predetermined image capture module (i.e., a preset type of image capture module).

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining whether a request for recording user activity is valid as described above, information about user activity is recorded to control the user's act of arbitrarily changing information about a captured video (e.g., metadata such as the shooting date (see 550 of FIG. 5), shooting location, user who shot the video, and initial recording location (see 540 of FIG. 5)), thereby ensuring the integrity of information about user activity.

[0071] Meanwhile, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can set the subject of the image captured as above to be the same as the subject of the image captured immediately before.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 5, for example, a test name associated with a captured (or to be captured) image may correspond to the subject (530) of the image, and the subject (530) of the image may be distinct from the file name of the image. Of course, the subject (530) of the image may be modified at will by the user.

[0073] In addition, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can cause the captured image to be recorded in a recording location that is specified as being associated with the image capture before the image capture.

[0074] For example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may cause the captured image to be recorded in a folder in which images having the same subject matter as the subject matter of the captured image (the subject matter itself may be specified before capturing the image) are recorded. As another example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may cause the captured image to be recorded in a folder selected by the user before capturing the image.

[0075] The record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the management of images that can be shot at the rate of hundreds of thousands per month by setting the subject (530) of the image to be the same as the subject of the image shot immediately before, or by recording the image in a recording location that is specified as being related to the shooting of the image.

[0076] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information regarding user activity may further include the user's signature. Furthermore, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may record the user's signature after the captured video and information regarding the user have been recorded.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can record the user's signature (520) after the captured image and user information (510) are recorded. By doing so, cases such as theft of another user's signature can be prevented, thereby ensuring the integrity of information regarding user activities. In addition, as part of ensuring the integrity of user activity information, the user's signature (520) can only be used after initial registration and cannot be changed, or can only be changed after going through a predetermined procedure.

[0078]

[0079] Example 2: Status change for user or specific record location

[0080] As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the type of user activity may be a status change regarding the user who performed the activity or a specific record location. In this case, the request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention may receive a recording request for a second status change regarding the user or the specific record location after the first status change regarding the user or the specific record location has been recorded. Furthermore, the recording management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may determine whether the recording request for the second status change is valid.

[0081] Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a status change regarding a user (including a first status change and a second status change) may mean a change in the user's work status (e.g., joining, leaving, taking a leave of absence, transferring to a team, etc.), a change in rank / position, a change in authority, etc. Assuming a situation in which the first status change regarding the user has already been recorded, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a request receiving unit (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention may receive a recording request regarding a second status change regarding the user, and a recording management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may determine whether the recording request regarding the second status change is valid.

[0082] For example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may determine that a record request for a second status change is valid when information about a user activity performed by the user satisfies a predetermined condition (e.g., transfer (or copy) to a specific record location is completed, the user activity is not in progress and is terminated, etc.).

[0083] And, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the status change (including the first status change and the second status change) with respect to a specific recording location (e.g., a folder) may mean moving / deleting / renaming the folder, moving at least some files stored in the folder, etc. Assuming that the first status change with respect to the specific recording location has already been recorded, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the request receiving unit (210) with respect to one embodiment of the present invention may receive a recording request for the second status change with respect to the specific recording location, and the recording management unit (220) with respect to one embodiment of the present invention may determine whether the recording request for this second status change is valid.

[0084] For example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may determine that a record request for a second status change is valid if the specific record location satisfies a predetermined condition (e.g., no file exists in the specific record location, it is not a (sub) root record location corresponding to a team in the organizational chart, all user activities associated with the specific record location are terminated, etc.).

[0085] And, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can cause information regarding the second state change to be recorded in response to determining that the second state change regarding the user who performed the user activity or the specific record location is valid.

[0086]

[0087] Example 3: Regarding the approval process for a report on a specific topic.

[0088] As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the type of user activity may relate to the approval process of a report on a specific topic. Furthermore, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include multiple images specified by the user in the report prior to receiving a record request regarding the user activity.

[0089] FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplarily showing a process for approving a report on a specific topic according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 6, for example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of images (610) specified by the user in the report before receiving a record request regarding the approval progress of a report on a specific subject (620). Here, the record request (630) regarding the approval progress of a report on a specific subject (620) may mean a request to record the author and the time of writing of the report (or the time of performing a specific subject (620; for example, a specific test)), or to record the approver and the time of approval, but is not limited thereto.

[0091] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of images (610) included in the report may be multi-selected. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of images (610) may be specified by the user at one time, and the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include the plurality of images (610) specified in this way in the report according to the order selected by the user or according to the time order in which they were captured.

[0092] As another example, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may, before receiving a record request regarding the approval process of a report on a specific topic (620), include a plurality of images (610) associated with the report in the report in the order in which the images (610) were shot.

[0093] For example, a record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may specify a plurality of images (610) having the same subject as a specific subject (620) of a report, and include the plurality of images (610) in the report in the order in which they were shot.

[0094] Meanwhile, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention can display the graphic object representing the subject who completed the approval and the graphic object representing the subject who did not complete the approval in a distinct manner among the approval lines of the report.

[0095] Referring to FIG. 6, for example, it may be assumed that five users (641 and 642) are included in the approval line of a report. In this case, the record management unit (220) according to one embodiment of the present invention may display graphic objects (641) representing users who have completed approval clearly, and display graphic objects (620) representing users who have not completed approval in a blurred or semi-transparent manner.
