By introducing blockchain technology, the software development management system can further improve the transparency, auditability and data integrity of the project, providing stronger guarantees for the success of the project.

Furthermore, the existing technology usually establishes communication channels based on staff members, which has several defects:

First, when communication or calling a task is needed, other people do not know who the executor of a task is, nor do they know the progress of the task. Therefore, they need to ask the task assignor, who then looks for the executor of the task. The whole communication is complicated and not conducive to efficient communication.

Second, when remote communication is needed, when each person has multiple tasks, when a task needs to be communicated, it is necessary to first communicate with the worker corresponding to the task through communication (if the executor of the task is known, otherwise it is necessary to first ask the assignor of the task), and then the other party finds the task, and then sends the content of the task through the communication software, and then communicates through screen sharing, which is not conducive to improving communication efficiency.

In order to solve the above problems, a task-based communication module is also included. The task-based communication module is signal-connected to the project management module, the code management module and the team collaboration and communication module. The task-based communication module includes the following units:

Task box design and display unit: multiple task boxes are designed in the display interface. Each task box is used to display a task separately. In addition to displaying the name or description of the task, the task box also designs a progress bar or percentage to display the execution progress of the task in real time. At the same time, a time statistics function is added so that the staff can intuitively understand the completion status of the task. The display interface layout of each person is the same to ensure the consistency and readability of the information;

Real-time communication channel generation unit: when the code of a task is completed or updated, the system automatically seals the code of the task and generates an independent communication channel for it. This communication channel is associated with the task and displayed on the corresponding task box. Each task has a corresponding real-time communication channel to facilitate subsequent communication and collaboration;

Task communication request and response unit: when it is necessary to communicate with the task executor about a task, the task box where the task is located is awakened through the preset first command (such as a specific key + double-clicking the mouse), and a communication request is sent; on the task executor's interface, the task box of the task lights up, indicating that there is a new communication request, and the task executor can choose to respond through the preset second command (such as agree, reject, postpone);

Screen sharing and voice communication unit: When the task performer chooses to agree to the communication request, the corresponding task box is automatically enlarged to the enlarged mode (such as full screen or half screen) on the computers of both parties, and the specific content of the task (such as code) is displayed inside the task box; the system also starts the screen sharing function, so that both parties can view and discuss the content of the task in real time, and supports the voice communication function to ensure the real-time and efficient communication;

The interactive feedback and operation optimization unit collects user interactive feedback in real time during the entire communication process, such as the display speed of the task box, the response speed of the communication channel, the stability of screen sharing, etc. Based on these feedbacks, the system continuously optimizes the operation experience and communication efficiency to ensure that staff can communicate and collaborate on tasks more conveniently and quickly.

The task calling unit allows people within the set range to drag and drop task contents in the task box, thereby quickly calling the corresponding task contents.

The working principle of the above settings is as follows: First, through the task box design and display unit, an independent task box is designed for each task on the display interface to display the progress and time statistics of the task in real time. When the code of the task is updated, the real-time communication channel generation unit will create an independent communication channel for it and associate it with the task box. When communication is required on a task, the task communication request and response unit allows sending and responding to communication requests, and then the screen sharing and voice communication unit realizes the function of viewing and discussing the task content in real time. During the entire communication process, the interactive feedback and operation optimization unit continuously collects user feedback to optimize the operation experience and communication efficiency.

The beneficial effects of the above settings are: by displaying the progress of the task and the communication channel in real time, the staff can clearly understand the task status and the communication channels related to it, reducing unnecessary inquiries and waiting time. The screen sharing and voice communication functions make remote communication intuitive and efficient, improving the efficiency of problem solving. At the same time, the interactive feedback and operation optimization unit ensures that the system can be continuously optimized according to user feedback to enhance the user experience. In addition, the drag and drop function of the task calling unit further simplifies the calling process of the task content and further improves work efficiency. The entire system helps to reduce communication barriers and improve the efficiency and response speed of team collaboration.

Furthermore, through the above settings, the following functions are also provided:

Real-time synchronization and communication of task progress: Combining the task box design and display unit and the real-time communication channel generation unit, when the progress of a task changes, the system not only updates the progress bar or percentage in the task box, but also sends progress update notifications to all relevant personnel through the real-time communication channel. Relevant personnel can immediately view and communicate on the progress.

Instant collaboration on code updates: When the code of a task is updated, the real-time communication channel generation unit seals the new code and creates a new communication channel. Through the task communication request and response unit, all relevant personnel can immediately see the code update notification and collaborate instantly through screen sharing and voice communication units to discuss code changes. For example, if the content of task A is referenced by other tasks, if task A is changed or modified, it will be automatically sent to the referencing party through the communication channel to ensure the accuracy of the task.

Visualization of task dependencies: In the task box design and display unit, the function of visualizing task dependencies is added. The dependencies between different tasks are intuitively displayed through lines, arrows or colors. In this way, users can more clearly understand which tasks need to be completed first and which tasks can be carried out in parallel, so as to arrange work more efficiently.

Automated task reminders and push notifications: The system automatically generates task reminders and push notifications based on task progress, dependencies, and other information. For example, when a task is behind schedule, the system can automatically send a reminder to the task performer; when a task is completed and triggers the execution of other tasks, the system can automatically push related tasks to relevant personnel. In this way, users do not need to pay attention to the task status all the time, and can also ensure the smooth progress of work.

Furthermore, the task-based communication module also includes a split-screen viewing and multi-tasking processing unit: if two tasks belong to the same executor, when communicating, the two tasks will be enlarged simultaneously on the same computer, and the executor will view and process two related tasks at the same time, reducing the time and energy consumption of task switching.

For tasks that need to be compared or contrasted (such as different versions of code, different design solutions, etc.), split-screen viewing can greatly improve the comparison efficiency. The system provides auxiliary tools such as highlighting and difference comparison to help users quickly identify the differences between two tasks.

This setting also provides the following features:

Drag and drop data between tasks: Users can quickly transfer data or files between two tasks to improve work efficiency. The drag and drop function across task boxes is implemented, and users can directly drag files or data in one task box to another task box.

Customized task association: Users can customize the association between tasks to achieve more flexible task management and collaboration. Users can set a task as the predecessor or successor of another task, and the system will automatically adjust the order and priority of task execution based on these associations.

Task merging and splitting: For tasks that are too large or complex, users can easily split them; for similar tasks, they can also be merged to improve the efficiency of task management. The system provides tools for merging and splitting tasks, and users can easily adjust the task structure as needed. At the same time, the system will automatically recommend appropriate merging or splitting strategies based on historical data and user feedback.

These features can not only solve the problem of communicating with oneself, but also improve the ability and efficiency of multi-tasking, helping users better manage and perform tasks.

Furthermore, the task-based communication module includes a task box border functionalization component, and the task box border functionalization component includes:

Application scenario: In the process of project management, staff often need to communicate and collaborate on the content of multiple tasks. By functionalizing the border of the task box, it is easy to trigger communication applications and merge task content to improve work efficiency.

Communicate application and merge task content units to:

Drag content: The staff drags the content in a task box (task A) to another task box (task B) through a border;

Automatically trigger communication request: After the system detects the drag operation, it automatically triggers the communication request and sends a communication request to the executor of task B;

Content merging: When the executor of Task B agrees to the communication request, the system will merge the contents of Task A and Task B and display them in the same task box;

Real-time discussion: Through screen sharing and voice communication functions, staff can discuss the merged content in real time to ensure that both parties have a common understanding of the task content.

The advantages of the communication application and merge task content unit are: improved efficiency of task communication and collaboration, reduced manual operations and lowered error rates. Real-time discussion ensures a common understanding of the task content between both parties.

Content fusion and testing unit, used for:

Application scenario: In the process of software development, different code modules often need to be integrated and tested. By functionalizing the border of the task box, you can easily trigger content integration and test to ensure the correctness and stability of the code.

Dragging content: The staff drags the content in a task box (task A, containing code module 1) to another task box (task B, containing code module 2) through the bottom border.

Content fusion: The system automatically merges the contents of the two task boxes to generate a new code module.

Automatic testing: The system tests the merged code modules to check for errors or conflicts.

Result feedback: After the test is completed, the system will provide feedback to the staff on the test results, such as whether the test passed or what specific problems existed.

Advantages of the content fusion and testing unit: It simplifies the code fusion and testing process, improves the efficiency of code development and testing, and ensures the correctness and stability of the code through real-time feedback.

Furthermore, the task box border functional component also includes:

Box-linked document or resource unit: When the user hovers the mouse over one of the borders of the task box, a pop-up menu will be displayed, allowing the user to quickly link to documents, images or other resources related to the task. After clicking these links, the relevant resources can be opened directly in the window next to the task box, making it easy for users to consult at any time while working on the task;

Quickly add annotation unit on the border: Users can quickly add annotations or notes to the task by clicking on one of the borders of the task box. The annotation is displayed directly on the border of the task box or as a floating text box for other team members to view;

Set reminder or deadline unit: When the user clicks one of the borders of the task box, a date picker pops up to set a reminder or deadline for the task. After setting the date, the system will remind the user and related team members through desktop notifications or emails at the specified time;

Border corner trigger task priority adjustment unit: users can quickly adjust the priority of the task by clicking a corner of the task box (such as the upper left corner, upper right corner, etc.). The priority can be represented by color coding, numerical labels or icons, which makes it easier for team members to quickly identify the importance of the task.

Through these functional designs, the task box is not only a container for displaying task information, but also an efficient work tool that integrates multiple operations and functions, further improving the efficiency and convenience of team collaboration.

It should be noted that the task box can be set to a polygonal form such as a pentagon or hexagon, so it can carry more functions. The number of task boxes can be increased or decreased according to the number of tasks, without limitation.

Furthermore, the task-based communication module further includes a third-party communication component, and the third-party communication component includes:

Third-party access request and permission management unit: A third-party user sends an access request to the two parties currently communicating through the interface or command provided by the system. When an access request is received, the two parties or the task manager will receive a notification and choose whether to agree to the request;

Permission management: Set different permission levels, such as team members, leadership, and customers.

Extension unit of real-time communication channel: Once a third party is allowed to access, the system will extend the current communication channel in real time to include the third party user. This can be achieved by adding a new user ID to the task box or adding a third party's video/audio stream to the communication interface.

Information sharing: The system should ensure that all connected users can see the same task information, screen sharing content and real-time communication.

Multi-user screen sharing and voice communication unit, when a third party accesses, its screen automatically switches to the corresponding zoom mode and displays the content being shared. The voice communication function supports multiple people to participate at the same time, ensuring that all users can hear and express their opinions in real time.

Furthermore, the task-based communication module further includes a communication channel destruction component, and the communication channel destruction component includes the following units:

Task completion detection subunit: used to monitor the completion status of all tasks, and to determine whether the task has been completed by checking the progress bar or percentage of each task box and whether a signal confirming the completion of the task has been received from the task executor;

Archiving processing unit: When the task completion detection unit confirms that all tasks have been completed, the archiving processing unit is triggered to package and archive the task codes and documents for storage;

Communication channel management unit: When all tasks are completed and archived, the communication channel management unit disconnects the communication channels associated with these tasks. The process of disconnecting the communication channel includes shutting down the real-time communication service, clearing the communication records, destroying the session key, etc., to ensure the security and privacy of the data.

Task clearing unit: After the communication channel is disconnected, the task clearing unit removes the task boxes related to the completed and archived tasks from the display interface. At the same time, the task clearing unit is also responsible for deleting the information of these tasks in the internal data structure, including task name, description, progress, etc.

Data destruction unit: After the archiving process is completed, the session key is destroyed and randomly inserted into the data to be destroyed after transformation and dispersion, thereby destroying the information carried in the data, and then the data is destroyed. Through this setting, even if it is stolen, it will not cause information leakage.

By integrating the functions of the above units, it is possible to automatically disconnect the communication channel, clear the task, and destroy the related data after all tasks are completed and archived. At the same time, these functions can also cooperate with other units (such as real-time communication channel generation unit, task communication request and response unit, etc.) to improve the efficiency and security of the entire system.

Furthermore, the communication channel management unit includes a communication channel and task matching subunit: used to regulate the number of communication channels and tasks; for example, matching multiple communication channels for one task, or associating multiple tasks to the same communication channel.

A task can be associated with two communication channels, with the following effects:

1. Parallel communication: When a task requires the participation of multiple teams or individuals at the same time, each team or individual can have its own independent communication channel to facilitate real-time communication and collaboration among them, while also keeping in sync with the main task.

2. Information diversion: Different communication channels can be used to discuss different types of task details or issues, avoiding information confusion in a single channel and improving communication efficiency.

3. Flexibility: In some cases, it may be necessary to temporarily add or adjust communication channels based on the progress or needs of the task. This flexibility can ensure smooth task communication.

Multiple tasks are associated with one communication channel, which has the following effects:

1. Centralized management: When multiple tasks belong to the same project or have similar goals, associating them to the same communication channel can facilitate centralized discussion and coordination for project managers or team members, thus improving management efficiency.

2. Information Sharing: In a single communication channel, team members can share information, resources, and experience on multiple tasks, facilitating knowledge transfer and team collaboration.

3. Simplify operations: There is no need to create a separate communication channel for each task, which reduces operational complexity and allows team members to focus more on the task itself.

In summary, whether one task is associated with multiple communication channels, or multiple tasks are associated with one communication channel, you can flexibly choose according to specific task requirements and team collaboration methods to achieve the best communication effect.
