FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operating method of a server device 100 for providing information related to an item according to various exemplary embodiments.

According to various exemplary embodiments, in operation 301, the server device 100 may obtain a request for an item list page that displays an item list including a first item selected by a user.

For example, the first item selected by the user may be an item separated by the user to decide to purchase, and the item list page displaying the item list including the item selected by the user may correspond to a page for identifying information about an item to be purchased by the user (hereinafter, referred to as an item to be purchased by the user). As in operation 301, when the server device 100 obtains a request from the user for a page for identifying information about an item to be purchased by the user, the server device 100 may identify the item selected by the user, and set and identify the separated page information including information about the identified item.

In other words, the user may apply an input for requesting information about items separately selected by the user to the user device 200, and the user device 200 may transmit information about the input to the server device 100, so that the server device 100 recognizes the information about the items separately selected by the user. In addition, the server device 100 may also recognize separate page information including information about items separately selected by the user.

According to various exemplary embodiments, in operation 303, the server device 100 may identify an item list page including detailed information about the first item and quantity information of the first item in response to the received request.

For example, the detailed information about the first item included in the item list page identified by the server device 100 according to operation 303 may include information required by the user to identify the first item, such as a name of the first item, an image of the first item, and the like.

For example, detailed information about the first item included in the item list page identified by the server device 100 according to operation 303 may include a specific date for guaranteeing a delivery of the first item and an order cut-off time for guaranteeing a delivery before the specific date.

To this end, the server device 100 may identify at least one fulfillment center used by the user to purchase the first item or corresponding to the user and determine an estimated delivery time period for delivering the item from the identified at least one fulfillment center to an address included in the user's delivery address information. In addition, based on a time point when the user enters a request for an item list page, the server device 100 may estimate or determine a specific date for guaranteeing a delivery of the first item and an order deadline for guaranteeing a delivery before the specific date based on the estimated delivery time period. Furthermore, the server device 100 may be configured so that information about the estimated or determined specific date and order deadline is included in the detailed information about the first item provided through the item list page.

For example, the item list page identified by the server device 100 according to operation 303 may include a first icon for adjusting the quantity information of the first item and a second icon for removing the first item on the item list page. The first icon and the second icon may correspond to a plurality of icons in an interface tool set for the quantity information of the first item included in the item list page. In response to an input corresponding to the first icon, a quantity of the first item may be increased. In response to an input corresponding to the second icon, the first item may be removed from the item list page. In addition, the first icon may include an increase indicator for increasing the quantity of the first item, and the second icon may include a removal indicator for removing the first item.

Here, based on a case where the quantity information of the first item displayed on the item list page is "1", the second icon may be included in the interface tool set or the item list page. That is, when the quantity information of the first item displayed on the item list page is "1", the quantity of the first item may no longer decrease. When the quantity information of the first item is "1" and the user applies an input corresponding to the second icon, the first item may be removed from the item list page. When the quantity information of the first item displayed on the item list page is two or more, a third icon for reducing the quantity of the first item may be displayed in at least a portion of an area where the second icon is displayed on the item list page or the interface tool set described above. In other words, when the quantity information of the first item displayed on the list page is two or more, the quantity reduction of the first item is possible before the first item is removed from the item list page. Therefore, when the quantity information of the first item is two or more, the quantity of the first item may be reduced in response to an input corresponding to the third icon. The third icon may include a reduction indicator for reducing the quantity of the first item.

For example, the quantity information of the first item may be adjusted based on the input corresponding to the first to third icons applied by the user. In addition, the price information determined for the first item based on the quantity information of the first item may be displayed on the item list page. For example, the quantity information of the first item and the price information of the first item may be displayed in an area separately set for the first item in the item list page and displayed on one line through an alignment area even in the set area. That is, the quantity information of the first item and the price information of the first item may be displayed in the set area to represent the first item as one alignment information.

In this example, when the first item included in the item list page corresponds to an item to which a discount promotion is applied based on the purchase quantity of the item, the server device 100 can be configured so that information about the discount promotion and discounted price information reflecting the discount promotion are displayed on the item list page based on the quantity information of the first item adjusted based on the user's input corresponding to the first to third icons. For example, if the first item included in the item list page is identified as an item having information about a discount promotion (wherein a predetermined percentage price discount is applied to a total amount determined based on an original quantity when purchasing at least a predetermined quantity of the corresponding item), then in response to the quantity information of the first item adjusted based on the user's input corresponding to the first to third icons on the item list page being set to the predetermined quantity or more, information about the corresponding discount promotion and discounted price information reflecting the corresponding discount promotion may be displayed on the item list page.

To this end, the server device 100 may confirm whether there is a discount promotion related to the first item through a database in which discount promotion related information is managed. When a discount promotion in which a discount is applied based on the purchase quantity is identified for the first item, the server device 100 may be configured to request and receive information about the corresponding discount promotion and display the information about the corresponding discount promotion and the discounted price information reflecting the discount promotion on the item list page.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an operation method of providing discount price information of a discount promotion applied to an item by the server device 100 according to various exemplary embodiments.

In operation 401, the server device 100 may identify a first item included in an item list page based on a request for an item list page obtained from a user. At this time, the first item may be an item separated by the user to decide to purchase, and the item list page may correspond to a page for identifying information about an item to be purchased by the user.

In operation 403, the server device 100 identifying the first item may identify information about a discount promotion for the first item, including the existence of a discount promotion in which a predetermined percentage of price discount is applied to a total amount determined based on an original quantity when purchasing at least a predetermined quantity of the first item. Here, operation 403 performed by the server device 100 to identify information about the discount promotion may include an operation of confirming or inquiring whether there is a discount promotion for the first item from a database in which information about discount promotions for various items provided in a service associated with the server device 100 is managed by the server device 100, and an operation of requesting information about the discount promotion for the first item from the database and receiving information about the discount promotion for the first item as a response thereto.

In operation 405, based on the identified information about the discount promotion, the server device 100 may determine whether to apply the discount promotion to the first item according to the quantity information of the first item determined on the item list page. In operation 407, when the quantity information of the first item is greater than or equal to a predetermined quantity, the server device 100 may provide discount price information reflecting the discount promotion through the item list page. That is, when the quantity information of the first item determined on the item list page is greater than or equal to the predetermined quantity as one criterion for applying the discount promotion, the discount price information may be provided to the user.

For example, a region for displaying the first item may be set on the item list page identified by the server device 100 according to operation 303. The region may be a region configured so that the first item is removed from the item list page based on a first input of the user to at least a portion of the corresponding region. In addition, the region for displaying the first item may be a region including various information associated with the first item (such as detailed information about the first item, quantity information of the first item, and price information of the first item) or the first to third icons described above.

Here, the user's first input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item may include: a second input including a touch input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item; or a third input including a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item. That is, the user may apply an input including a touch input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, and may also apply an input including a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item. Based on the second input including the touch input, the user may select the first item or at least a portion of the area displaying the first item. Furthermore, based on the third input including the gesture input, the user may slide the first item or the area displaying the first item.

As an example, when the user applies a third input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, a fourth icon for removing the first item may be displayed on the item list page in a position determined based on a predetermined direction of the third input. In other words, when the area displaying the first item is set, if a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction is applied to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the server device 100 may be configured to display a fourth icon for removing the first item at a position determined based on the predetermined direction. For example, when the user applies an input of sliding at least a portion of the area displaying the first item in a left direction, a remove button icon for removing the first item from the item list page may be displayed on the right side of the area displaying the first item.

As another example, when the user applies a third input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the first item may be removed based on a distance according to the third input. In other words, when setting the area displaying the first item, if a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction is applied to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the server device 100 may be configured to remove the first item in response to gesture input continuously applied to at least a predetermined distance. For example, when the user applies an input to slide at least a portion of the area displaying the first item in the left direction to a distance corresponding to 1/3 of the length of a screen, the first item may be removed from the item list page.

According to an exemplary embodiment, when the user applies the third input to at least a portion of the area where the first item is displayed, based on the distance according to the third input, the server device 100 may be configured to display a fourth icon for removing the first item in a position determined according to a predetermined direction of the third input on the item list page or to directly remove the first item. In other words, when the area where the first item is displayed is set, if a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction is applied to at least a portion of the area where the first item is displayed, the server device 100 may be configured to display the fourth icon for removing the first item in a position determined according to the predetermined direction based on the distance to which the gesture input is continuously applied, or to remove the first item in response to the gesture input continuously applied to at least the predetermined distance. For example, when a user applies an input to slide at least a portion of the area displaying the first item in the left direction, and when an input distance is less than or equal to 1/3 of the length of the screen, a remove button icon for removing the first item from the item list page may be displayed on the right side of the area displaying the first item. In this example, when the input distance is greater than 1/3 of the length of the screen, the first item may be directly removed from the item list page.

As an example, when the user applies the second input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, information indicating a predetermined direction for applying the third input and information indicating that the first item is to be removed from the item list page in response to the third input may be displayed in the area displaying the first item. In other words, when the area displaying the first item is set, if a touch input is applied to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the server device 100 may be configured to display information indicating a predetermined direction for a gesture input for removing the first item and information indicating that the first item is to be removed from the item list page in response to the corresponding gesture input. For example, when a user applies an input by touching at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, an arrow in the left direction indicating removal of the first item and text notifying that the first item will be removed in response to a sliding input applied in the left direction may be displayed in the area displaying the first item.

As another example, when the user applies the second input to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the area displaying the first item may be vibrated or bounced for display. In this example, a portion of a fourth icon for removing the first item may also be displayed in a position determined according to a predetermined direction of the gesture input for removing the first item. In other words, when setting the area displaying the first item, if a touch input is applied to at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the server device 100 may be configured to display the area displaying the first item with vibration or bounce. In addition, during the vibration or bounce, or after the vibration or bounce, the server device 100 may be configured to display a portion of the fourth icon for removing the first item in a position determined according to a predetermined direction of the gesture input for removing the first item. For example, when a user applies an input by touching at least a portion of the area displaying the first item, the area displaying the first item may vibrate and a portion of a remove button icon for removing the first item from the item list page may be displayed on the right side of the area displaying the first item.

According to various exemplary embodiments, in operation 305, the server device 100 may provide a list page of the identified items.

For example, the item list page provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305 may be set based on each exemplary embodiment according to operations 301 to 303 and may include a plurality of pieces of information associated with each exemplary embodiment according to operations 301 to 303.

Meanwhile, on the item list page provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305, when a user removes at least one item from one or more items in the item list included in the item list page, the item list page may display a removed item list including the at least one removed item. In other words, when a user removes an item from the item list page, the server device 100 may be configured to display a removed item list for identifying the removed item on the item list page. With this configuration, the user may restore the removed item on the item list page.

For example, information about a name of at least one item that was removed may be included in a list of removed items displayed on an item list page. An item to which a removal input is applied by a user may have a lower importance than other items included in the item list page as items selected by the user. Thus, as opposed to items selected by the user having various detailed information displayed on the item list page, information only about the name may be briefly displayed to identify the item, thereby reducing the space occupied on the item list page.

For example, a second item included in at least one removed item in the removed item list may be removed from the removed item list or re-added to the item list page based on a fourth input from the user to at least a portion of an area where the second item is displayed. The fourth input from the user to at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed may include: a fifth input including a touch input to at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed; or a sixth input including a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed. In other words, the user may apply an input including a touch input to at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed, and may also apply an input including a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed. Based on the fifth input including the touch input, the user may select the second item or at least a portion of the area where the second item is displayed. Furthermore, based on the sixth input including gesture input, the user can slide the second object or display at least a portion of the area of the second object.

For example, when the user applies a fourth input to at least a portion of the area displaying the second item, a fourth icon for adjusting the quantity information of the second item, a fifth icon for removing the second item from the removed item list, and the quantity information of the second item may be displayed in the area displaying the second item. The fourth icon and the fifth icon may correspond to a plurality of icons included in an interface tool set for the quantity information of the second item in the removed item list. In response to an input corresponding to the fourth icon, a quantity of the second item may be increased. In response to an input corresponding to the fifth icon, the second item may be removed from the removed item list. In addition, the fourth icon may include an increase indicator for increasing the quantity of the second item and the fifth icon may include a removal indicator for removing the second item.

Basically, the second item corresponds to an item that has been removed by the user on the item list page. Therefore, a preset quantity of the second item displayed through the area displaying the second item in the removed item list may be set to zero, and based on a case in which the quantity information of the second item is set to zero, the fourth icon and the fifth icon may be displayed in the area displaying the second item. When the quantity information of the second item is set to one or more, a sixth icon for reducing the quantity of the second item may be displayed in at least a portion of an area displaying the fifth icon. In other words, when the quantity information of the second item displayed on the item list page is one or more, the reduction of the quantity of the second item is possible before the second item is removed from the removed item list. Therefore, when the quantity information of the second item is one or more, the quantity of the second item may be reduced in response to an input of the user to the sixth icon. The sixth icon may include a decrease indicator for decreasing the quantity of the second item.

The quantity information of the second item in the removed item list may be adjusted in response to the user applying the input corresponding to the fourth to sixth icons. When the quantity information of the second item is set to one or more, a seventh icon for resetting the second item to the item selected by the user may be displayed in the area displaying the second item. In other words, the user sets the quantity of an item included in the removed item list to one or more, which may correspond to an operation of deciding to return to purchase the corresponding item. Therefore, in response to this, the server device 100 may be configured so that an icon for adding the corresponding item back to the item list page is additionally displayed in the area displaying the second item.

When the user applies an input corresponding to the seventh icon, the second item may be added back to the item list page as an item selected by the user. In this case, the quantity information of the second item set by the user in the area showing the second item in the removed item list may be similarly applied and displayed on the item list page.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an operation method of providing a list of removed items by the server device 100 according to various exemplary embodiments.

In operation 501, the server device 100 may identify at least one item removed on an item list page. Here, the at least one item removed on the item list page may be 1) an item removed in response to an input from a user corresponding to an icon for adjusting or removing quantity information of an item on the item list page, or 2) an item removed in response to an input from a user, the input including a touch input to at least a portion of an area where an item included in the item list page is displayed and a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of an area where an item is displayed.

In operation 503, for a second item included in at least one item that has been removed, the server device 100 may obtain an input from a user corresponding to an area in which the second item is displayed in a list of removed items. Here, the input from a user corresponding to an area in which the second item is displayed may include a touch input to at least a portion of the area in which the second item is displayed or a gesture input indicating a predetermined direction to at least a portion of the area in which the second item is displayed.

In response to the user input obtained according to operation 503, in operation 505, the server device 100 may provide an icon and the quantity information of the second item for adjusting the quantity information of the second item or removing the second item from the removed item list in the area where the second item is displayed, and when the quantity information of the second item is set to one or more, an icon for resetting the second item to an item selected by the user may be further provided. Thereafter, in response to an input of the user corresponding to each icon, the quantity information of the second item may be adjusted or removed on the removed item list, or the second item may be re-added to the item list page as an item selected by the user.
