5 Claims

1. A user information collection system implemented by at least one computer apparatus, the user information collection system comprising at least one processor,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

manage provisioning of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service provided from a VDI service provider, the VDI service including a virtual desktop, a virtualization service of a desktop, or a service that generates a virtual machine;

manage charging information according to a use of the VDI service by a user;

manage a policy for the VDI service;

manage information of the user using the VDI service;

manage a lifecycle of the VDI service provided from the VDI service provider, the lifecycle being set for the VDI service, and the at least one processor determining whether the lifecycle for the VDI service is elapsed; and

manage connection infrastructure information between a cloud environment for providing the VDI service and the VDI service provider and/or between external software as a service (SaaS) for providing the VDI service and the VDI service provider,

wherein the cloud environment is selected by a provider of the user information collection system and/or the VDI service provider,

wherein at least one service of the external software as a service is provided to the user in response to a contract with the VDI service provider or a request from the user,

wherein a computer program provided from the VDI service provider is installed and executed on the user information collection system, and

data associated with the user collected by the computer program is provided to an external module of the VDI service provider, in exchange for providing the user with the VDI service,

wherein a record related to transferring the collected data is stored in a blockchain or a non-modifiable ledger,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to

monitor the VDI service,

evaluate appropriateness of a providing state of the VDI service by determining whether service level agreement (SLA) requirements of the user are met based on the monitoring result; and

enable the user to access only those VDI services that satisfy a predetermined level of appropriateness and have been pre-approved by the VDI service provider,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to determine a grade of the user and to provide differentiated VDI services from the VDI service provider based on the determined grade, and

wherein at least portion of cost associated with the use of the VDI service by the user is charged to a provider of a specific website visited by the user.
