Abstract

An apparatus and method for providing data are provided. The apparatus for providing data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is an apparatus for providing data based on cloud services, and includes a profile processor configured to, in response to an attribute of data, which is generated from a target object, being changed, update a data profile that was previously stored; a data collector configured to collect the data generated from the target object in accordance with the updated data profile; a data processor configured to index the collected data; and a data provider configured to provide the indexed data to a client.

Claims

1. An apparatus for providing data based on cloud services, the apparatus comprising:

a profile processor configured to, in response to an attribute of data, which is generated from a target object, being changed, update a data profile that was previously stored;

a data collector configured to collect the data generated from the target object in accordance with the updated data profile;

a data processor configured to index the collected data; and

a data provider configured to provide the indexed data to a client.

2. The apparatus for providing data of claim 1, wherein the profile processor is further configured to detect the changed attribute or a time at which the attribute is changed, and update the previously stored data profile in accordance with the changed attribute or the time at which the attribute is changed.

3. The apparatus for providing data of claim 2, wherein the profile processor is further configured to update the previously stored data profile in response to connection information about a connection to the target object being changed.

4. The apparatus for providing data of claim 3, wherein the connection information includes authentication information for the connection to the target object or location information of the data in the target object.

5. The apparatus for providing data of claim 3, wherein the profile processor is further configured to detect the changed connection information or a time at which the connection information is changed, and update the previously stored data profile in accordance with the changed connection information or the time at which the connection information is changed.

6. The apparatus for providing data of claim 3, wherein the data collector is further configured to connect to the target object using the connection information included in the updated data profile, and collect data corresponding to the attribute included in the updated data profile.

7. The apparatus for providing data of claim 3, wherein the profile processor is further configured to manage an update history of the data profile using the attribute or a time at which the connection information is changed.

8. The apparatus for providing data of claim 7, wherein the data processor is further configured to newly index the collected data whenever the data profile is updated, and manage an indexing history of the data.

9. The apparatus for providing data of claim 8, wherein the data provider is further configured to receive period information of data to be provided from the client, and retrieve data to be provided to the client from an index corresponding to the period information.

10. A method for providing data based on cloud services, the method comprising:

in response to an attribute of data, which is generated from a target object, being changed, updating, by a profile processor, updating a data profile that was previously stored;

collecting, by a data collector, the data generated from the target object in accordance with the updated data profile;

indexing, by a data processor, the collected data; and

providing, by a data provider, the indexed data to a client.

11. The method for providing data of claim 10, wherein the updating of the data file that was previously stored comprises:

detecting the changed attribute or a time at which the attribute is changed, and updating the previously stored data profile in accordance with the changed attribute or the time at which the attribute is changed.

12. The method for providing data of claim 11, before the collecting of the data generated from the target object, further comprising:

updating, by the profile processor, the previously stored data profile in response to connection information about a connection to the target object being changed.

13. The method for providing data of claim 12, wherein the connection information includes authentication information for the connection to the target object or location information of the data in the target object.

14. The method for providing data of claim 12, wherein the updating of the previously stored data profile when the connection information is changed comprises:

detecting the changed connection information or a time at which the connection information is changed, and updating the previously stored data profile in accordance with the changed connection information or the time at which the connection information is changed.

15. The method for providing data of claim 12, wherein the collecting of the data comprises:

being connected to the target object using the connection information included in the updated data profile, and collecting data corresponding to the attribute included in the updated data profile.

16. The method for providing data of claim 12, wherein, after the updating of the previously stored data profile when the attribute of the data is changed, the method further comprises:

managing, by the profile processor, an update history of the data profile using the attribute or a time at which the connection information is changed.

17. The method for providing data of claim 16, wherein the indexing includes newly indexing the collected data whenever the data profile is updated, and

after the indexing, the method further comprises:

managing an indexing history of the data.

18. The method for providing data of claim 17, wherein the providing of the indexed data comprises:

receiving period information of data to be provided from the client, and retrieving data to be provided to the client from an index corresponding to the period information.
