Below, with reference to the drawings, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

FIG1 shows a system of an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the system may include an electronic device 10, a user terminal 1 20, a user terminal 2 30, and a network 40. The electronic device 10 may provide relevant information through an application program installed in the user terminal, and the user may purchase items based on the information provided by the application program. At this time, the electronic device 10 may improve the user's convenient interface by enabling the user to compare relevant information and select during the settlement process of the item, thereby further improving user satisfaction in the relationship with other competing enterprises. At this time, as an application program related to food delivery service, food delivery service may be provided to the user from a store adjacent to the address set in the application program in a short time.

The system shown in FIG. 1 only illustrates the components related to the present embodiment. Therefore, those with common sense in the technical field related to the present embodiment can understand that in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1, other common components can be further included. For example, in addition to the user terminal 1 20 and the user terminal 2 30 shown in FIG. 1, various components can be further included.

The electronic device 10 and the user terminal 1 20 and the user terminal 2 30 can communicate with each other in the network 40. The network 40 includes a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value-added network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network and a combination thereof, and the network is a comprehensive data communication network that enables the network components shown in FIG. 1 to communicate with each other smoothly, and may include a wired Internet, a wireless Internet and a mobile wireless communication network. Wireless communication may include, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, Zigbee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., but is not limited thereto.

The electronic device 10 may be included in a server for managing applications, and may manage information provided to users through applications. User terminal 1 20 and user terminal 2 30 are used as an example, and may correspond to terminals used by each user to purchase items.

Specifically, the electronic device 10 can provide the user with the retrieved information through the application. The application can provide information about multiple items (e.g., food) sold in multiple stores. Users can use the application to order items from stores within a fixed distance from a set location. The store can confirm the item and delivery information by confirming the order information. When the store completes the delivery preparation, the delivery person can use the delivery information to deliver the ordered item to the user. Therefore, the user can use the food delivery service through the application.

Users can store items sold in the store selected through the application on the shopping cart page. At this time, if the shopping cart page can only store items sold in a single store, it will be inconvenient for users to compare related information during the checkout process. However, if the shopping cart page can store items sold in multiple stores, the user's satisfaction with the user interface can be improved.

The following describes the specific process of the electronic device 10 managing the shopping cart page provided by the application.

Figures 2a to 2d are diagrams for illustrating a page provided by an application in one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, information related to the first store can be displayed. The first store is selected by the user from at least one store provided by the application. FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b are detail pages of the first store, which are pages provided when the scroll bar is moved up and down.

The name of the first store may be displayed in area 201, and the review information of the first store may be displayed in area 203. At this time, the review information may include the number of users who participated in the evaluation and the average of the users' ratings.

Area 205 may display discount coupon information, delivery information, minimum order amount information, and postscript information including photos and texts left by users related to the first store. At this time, the discount coupon information is information about discount coupons applicable to items sold in the first store, and the delivery information includes amount information and time information required for delivery. The amount information is paid when the delivery of the items settled in the first store is carried out. The minimum order amount information may correspond to the following amount information, that is, when the user orders at least one item in the first store through the application, the total cost of at least one item selected by the user must be met.

Areas 207 and 211 may display the categories to which the items sold in the first store belong. For example, area 207 may display the "food" category to which the items sold in the first store belong, and area 211 may display the "drinks" category to which the items sold in the first store belong.

A list of items belonging to category 1 (e.g., the "food" category) may be displayed in area 209. Specifically, the list of items belonging to category 1 may include information of item 1-1 and item 1-2. The information of item 1-1 may include image information, price information, information on the number of users who like the item, and information on the remaining quantity of item 1-1. Furthermore, the information of item 1-2 may include image information, price information, information on the number of users who like the item, and information on the remaining quantity of item 1-2.

A list of items belonging to category 2 (e.g., the "drinks" category) may be displayed in area 213. Specifically, the list of items belonging to category 2 may include information about item 2-1, and the information about item 2-1 may include price information. At this time, the information displayed related to the items may be set differently according to the category, thereby reducing the memory capacity required to manage the corresponding store. For example, the information about item 1-1 is different from the information about item 2-1, thereby reducing the memory capacity required to manage the store.

The electronic device can store the items selected by the user from the items sold in the first store on the shopping cart page. For example, when the user selects item 1-1, item 1-2, and item 2-1 from the items sold in the first store, the electronic device can store item 1-1, item 1-2, and item 2-1 on the shopping cart page. Information about the items stored in the shopping cart page can be displayed in area 215. Specifically, information about the number of items stored in the shopping cart page (for example, 3), the total cost (for example, 43,500 won), and the accumulated amount corresponding to the settlement method (for example, accumulated 100 won) can be displayed in area 215.

When the user selects area 215, a shopping cart page as shown in FIG. 2c may be provided by the application. The shopping cart page may display information of at least one item selected by the user in the first store. Specifically, the time information required to deliver the item added to the shopping cart page to the address information and/or the time information required to package the item may be displayed in area 217. The address information (e.g., address a) input by the user may be displayed in area 219. A list of items added to the shopping cart page after the user selects in the first store may be displayed in area 221. Specifically, in area 221, quantity and price information may be displayed according to at least one item included in the list of items added to the shopping cart page. For example, the quantity and price information of item 1-2, the quantity and price information of item 1-1, and the quantity and price information of item 2-1 can be displayed. At this time, the list of items can be arranged in the order of time added to the shopping cart page, or in descending or ascending order considering the price information of each item, or by category. The information of the order settlement amount can be displayed in area 223. When the user selects area 223, the screen can be converted from the shopping cart page to the settlement page.

Refer to Figure 2d, which is a gateway page set as a default value in the application. For example, Figure 2d is the following page: when the application is executed for the first time, or when the home page icon in area 225 is selected, it is displayed on the user terminal. At this time, when there are no items added to the shopping cart page, unlike Figure 2d, area 227 is not displayed, but when there are items added to the shopping cart page, the information of the items stored in the shopping cart page (for example, the number of items added to the shopping cart page, the total cost, and the accumulated amount corresponding to the settlement method) can be displayed in area 227 as in Figure 2d. When the user selects area 227, the screen can be converted to the shopping cart page of Figure 2c.

FIG. 3 is a screen displayed when adding items from a second store different from the first store to a shopping cart page in an embodiment.

According to Figures 2a to 2d, when at least one item sold in the first store is added to the shopping cart page, if you want to add items from a second store that is different from the first store to the shopping cart page, the following warning message can be displayed in area 307 of Figure 3: "You can only add menus from the same store. If you want to change the store to order, the previously added menu will be deleted." That is, referring to Figure 3, the shopping cart page can only add items sold in a single store, and cannot add items sold in different stores.

For reference, the name of the second store may be displayed in area 301, the menu selected by the user from at least one item sold in the second store, i.e., the second item, may be displayed in area 303, and the price and quantity information of the second item may be displayed in area 305. When the user selects area 309, the second item of the second store may be added to the shopping cart page, but when the first item of the first store is added to the shopping cart page, an alarm message may be displayed in area 307.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for illustrating a shopping cart page with items from multiple stores added in one embodiment.

Unlike FIG. 3 , referring to FIG. 4 , the shopping cart page can store items from multiple stores. Specifically, the shopping cart page can display information about items selected by the user according to multiple stores. For example, information about items selected by the user in the first store (e.g., the name and quantity of each item, and total cost information) can be displayed in area 401 of the shopping cart page, information about items selected by the user in the second store can be displayed in area 403, and information about items selected by the user in the third store can be displayed in area 405.

According to the embodiment, when changing or adding items selected by the user in any of the multiple stores included in the shopping cart page, the information related to the store can be changed or added on the shopping cart page. For example, when the area 401 of the shopping cart page displays the information of item a selected by the user in the first store, if the user selects item b in the detail page of the first store as shown in FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, the information of item a and item b can be changed in the area 401 of the shopping cart page. When a user selects an item from a store (e.g., the fourth store) other than the multiple stores included in the shopping cart page (e.g., the first store, the second store, and the third store), the shopping cart page may additionally display information related to the fourth store.

According to the embodiment, multiple stores selected by the user in the store list on the shopping cart page can be settled. For example, when the user selects the first store and the third store included in the store list on the shopping cart page, the electronic device can settle the first store and the third store at the same time. Unlike FIG. 3 where only a single store can be settled, according to the embodiment of FIG. 4, multiple stores can be added to the shopping cart page, and multiple stores selected by the user can be settled at the same time.

At this time, when the multiple stores selected by the user meet specific conditions, orders from multiple stores can be allocated to one delivery person. At this time, when the distance between multiple stores is less than the reference distance, the specific condition can be met. For example, when the distance between the first store and the second store selected by the user is less than the reference distance, the specific condition is met, and the orders for the first store and the second store can be allocated to one delivery person. Or, when the distance between the second store and the third store selected by the user is less than the reference distance, the specific condition is met, and the orders for the second store and the third store can be allocated to one delivery person. Alternatively, when the distance between the first store and the third store selected by the user is greater than the reference distance, the specific condition cannot be met, and thus the orders for the first store and the third store may be assigned to two couriers instead of one couriers.

Here, the base distance can be set differently in consideration of the preset time period. For example, in the case of a time period such as lunch time (e.g., 11:00-13:00) that requires faster delivery, the base distance can be relatively shortened compared to other time periods, and orders for each store can be assigned to each deliveryman. Even for the same order, if the time is different from the lunch time, orders for multiple stores can be assigned to one deliveryman if the base distance condition is met.

According to an embodiment, delivery cost information corresponding to a distance corresponding to each of at least one combination of a plurality of stores included in a shopping cart page may be provided. For example, in the case of combining the first store and the second store, delivery cost information considering the distance between the first store and the second store may be displayed on the shopping cart page. For another example, in the case of combining the second store and the third store, delivery cost information considering the distance between the second store and the third store may be displayed on the shopping cart page. For another example, in the case of combining the first store and the third store, delivery cost information considering the distance between the first store and the third store may be displayed on the shopping cart page. Users can choose a store to check out from among multiple stores by considering the delivery fee information displayed on the shopping cart page.

According to an embodiment, the list of stores displayed on the shopping cart page can be arranged and displayed based on a fixed basis. Specifically, a plurality of stores can be arranged in consideration of the time sequence included in the shopping cart page. For example, the first store, the second store, and the third store can be arranged in consideration of the time sequence included in the shopping cart page. When item b is added to the first store, the arrangement order of the first store can be changed based on the time when item b is added to the first store.

Alternatively, multiple stores may be arranged in consideration of the number of past orders. For example, if there is a history of 10 past orders at store 1, a history of 3 past orders at store 3, and no past order history is confirmed at store 2, multiple stores may be arranged in the order of store 1, store 3, and store 2. In this case, the shopping cart page may simultaneously display information on the number of past orders corresponding to the multiple stores. In this case, the shopping cart page may simultaneously display information on stores that have not been ordered within a preset period, taking into account order information corresponding to the number of past orders. For example, when the number of past orders is confirmed at the first store and the third store, and the order record can be confirmed at the first store within the preset period, i.e., one week, a message can be displayed to guide the customer to place an order at the third store and the second store that have not been ordered within the preset period.

Alternatively, multiple stores may be ranked by considering review information for each store. For example, review information corresponding to the average of the scores evaluated by multiple users for the first store, review information corresponding to the average of the scores evaluated by multiple users for the second store, and review information corresponding to the average of the scores evaluated by multiple users for the third store may be considered and ranked. In this case, the shopping cart page may simultaneously display the review information corresponding to the multiple stores.

According to the embodiment, in addition to the store corresponding to the combination selected by the user from the plurality of stores included in the shopping cart page, at least one store can be stored on the shopping cart page, and push messages of the stores stored in the shopping cart can be provided to the user. For example, when the user places an order from the first store and the third store on May 3, 2023, the first store and the third store will be deleted from the shopping cart page, but the second store can be stored on the shopping cart page. When the user uses the application after May 3, 2023, the electronic device can provide a push message of the second store, and the user can place an order from the second store based on the push message.

According to the embodiment, in area 401, the image information corresponding to the first store may be the image information corresponding to the item selected by the user in the first store. Alternatively, in area 403, the image information corresponding to the second store may be the image information corresponding to the item selected by the user in the second store. Alternatively, in area 405, the image information corresponding to the third store may be the image information corresponding to the item selected by the user in the third store.

Alternatively, in area 401, the image information corresponding to the first store may be the image information of the representative item set by the first store, rather than the image information of the item selected by the user. For example, even if the user has selected item 1-1 in the first store, if item 1-2 is set as the representative item in advance, the image information displayed in area 401 may be the image information of item 1-2, rather than the image information of item 1-1. In area 403, the image information corresponding to the second store may be the image information of the representative item set by the second store, rather than the image information of the item selected by the user. In area 405, the image information corresponding to the third store may be the image information of the representative item set by the third store, rather than the image information of the item selected by the user.

At this time, the representative items set for each store can be determined by considering the order quantity in each time period. For example, the items with a large order quantity in the first store will be different according to the time period, so the representative items of the first store will change according to the order quantity. In addition, the image information corresponding to the first store displayed on the shopping cart page will also be changed to the image information of the representative items set in consideration of the order quantity in each time period.

According to the embodiment, the number of multiple stores added to the shopping cart page can be limited to a preset base number. When more stores than the base number are added to the shopping cart page, some stores can be deleted from the shopping cart page in consideration of the arrangement order of the above embodiment. Therefore, the memory efficiency of the electronic device that manages the shopping cart page can be further improved.

Figures 5a and 5b are diagrams used to illustrate the gateway page of an application program of an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5a, it is a gateway page of an application that provides information of at least one store added to a shopping cart page, which is different from FIG. 2d. In the case of FIG. 2d, information of the number of items selected in a single store may be displayed, but FIG. 5a may display information of the number of stores added to the shopping cart page. For example, the "3" displayed on the icon displayed in area 510 may be information of the number of stores added to the shopping cart page, not the number of items added to the shopping cart page.

Referring to FIG. 5b, it is a gateway page that provides information of at least one store added to the shopping cart page, which is different from FIG. 5a. At this time, unlike FIG. 5a that displays the number of stores added to the shopping cart page, image information 521, 523, and 525 corresponding to each store can be displayed. Specifically, image information 521 can be image information related to the first store, image information 523 can be image information related to the second store, and image information 525 can be image information related to the third store. For example, image information 521 can correspond to image information displayed in area 401 of FIG. 4, image information 523 can correspond to image information displayed in area 403 of FIG. 4, and image information 525 can correspond to image information displayed in area 405 of FIG. 4.

Unlike FIG5a, when the user interface of FIG5b is used, if the user touches the image information for a fixed time or more, the following stores can be deleted from the shopping cart page: the stores corresponding to the image information in the gateway page of FIG5b but not in the shopping cart page of FIG4 can be deleted from the shopping cart page. For example, unlike FIG5a, when the user interface of FIG5b is used, if the user touches the image information 521 for a fixed time or more, the first store can be deleted from the shopping cart page. The first store corresponds to the image information 521 in the gateway page of FIG5b but not in the shopping cart page of FIG4. Therefore, the operability of the user on the shopping cart page can be improved and the convenience can be improved.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for illustrating a collection page including a hobby store in one embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the favorites page includes the pages of stores that the user has set as interest stores. Unlike FIG. 4 , which is a shopping cart page, the favorites page may include general information of each store (e.g., name, review information, etc.). For example, general information of the first store may be displayed in area 601, general information of the second store may be displayed in area 603, general information of the third store may be displayed in area 605, and general information of the fourth store may be displayed in area 607. In the case where delivery from the second store to the address a set in the current application is not possible, relevant information may be displayed. Alternatively, when the fourth store is currently before business hours, information on delivery failure and business hours may be displayed simultaneously.

The favorites page only displays a list of stores that the user has set as interest stores. When the user selects an item that he/she intends to purchase, the corresponding store and item can be saved on the shopping cart page. For example, when the user selects the third store as an interest store and selects item 3-1 on the detail page of the third store as shown in Figure 2a and Figure 2b, item 3-1 corresponding to the third store can be saved on the shopping cart page, not the favorites page. That is, the favorites page and the shopping cart page are pages that are managed for other purposes among the pages provided by the application.

FIG7 is a flow chart of an information management method for an electronic device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in step S710 , the electronic device can confirm information of the first item, which is sold by the first store selected by the user from at least one store provided by the application.

In step S720, the electronic device can confirm the information of the second item sold by at least one second store, where the at least one second store is selected by the user and is different from the first store.

In step S730, the electronic device may provide a shopping cart page, which includes information about the first item corresponding to the first store and information about the second item corresponding to at least one second store.

At this time, the shopping cart page may provide delivery fee information corresponding to the distance corresponding to at least one combination of multiple stores including the first store and at least one second store. For example, the delivery fee information corresponding to the distance may be displayed on the shopping cart page, and the distance corresponds to the combination of the first store and the second store, the combination of the second store and the third store, and the combination of the first store and the third store among the first store, the second store, and the third store included in the shopping cart page.

In addition, in order to improve the convenience of user comparison, the shopping cart page can provide review information for multiple stores at the same time, or provide information about the number of orders that the user has placed in multiple stores in the past. In this case, the order information corresponding to the number of past orders can be considered and the information of at least one store that has not been ordered within the preset period can be provided at the same time. For example, if there is an order record in the first store included in the shopping cart page within the past week, the information of other stores that have no order record within the past week can be provided at the same time, and the user can consider the provided information and make a settlement.

In addition, the shopping cart page can be the following page: in multiple stores, the shopping cart page is arranged in the time sequence; or in multiple stores, the past order number is considered to arrange; or in multiple stores, the review information is considered to arrange.

In addition, the shopping cart page may provide image information of the first item of the first store, and image information of the second item corresponding to at least one second store different from the first store. Alternatively, the shopping cart page may provide image information of the representative item of the first store, and image information of the representative item corresponding to at least one second store different from the first store. In this case, representative items may be set according to each store in consideration of the order quantity in each time period, and therefore, the image information displayed on the shopping cart page may also be changed in consideration of the order quantity in each time period.

After that, when the order information corresponding to the combination selected by the user in at least one combination is processed, if the distance between the stores corresponding to the combination selected by the user is less than the reference distance, the delivery corresponding to the settlement can be assigned to one delivery person. That is, the delivery of multiple stores corresponding to the combination can be assigned to one delivery person. When the distance between the stores is greater than the reference distance, the delivery of the stores can be assigned to each delivery person, not to one delivery person.

In addition, the store corresponding to the combination selected by the user from the multiple stores included in the shopping cart page can be deleted from the shopping cart page, and at least one other store can be stored in the shopping cart page. The electronic device can provide the user with a push message of at least one store stored in the shopping cart page through the application, and the user can make a payment based on the push message, thereby improving the convenience of the user when confirming the purchase.

In addition, among the multiple stores included in the shopping cart page, stores whose past order conversion rates are above a preset benchmark rate (e.g., X%) can be confirmed. In this case, the past order conversion rate indicates the rate of conversion to orders after a store is added to the shopping cart page. For example, if a store is added to the shopping cart page 10 times at different times in the past and 9 times are converted to orders, the past order conversion rate is 90%. In this case, when the past order conversion rate is the preset benchmark rate, the order probability of the store currently added to the shopping cart page is also higher. In order to deliver faster, an alarm message can be transmitted to the store even before the user performs checkout. In this case, there are also cases where the user has not placed an order, so the benchmark rate can be set differently for each user. For example, you can set a higher baseline rate for users with a lower past order conversion rate than for users with a higher past order conversion rate.
