[0039] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an item list providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] 1, an item list providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal 110 and an electronic device 120. In an embodiment, the electronic device 120 may process information related to the operation of a service and provide the information to a user.

[0041] Using the user terminal 110, a user of an e-commerce or food delivery service can connect to the electronic device 120. The user terminal 110 can be installed with an e-commerce or food delivery application, connect to the electronic device 120 using the application, and use the e-commerce or food delivery service based on information exchange with the electronic device 120. The e-commerce or food delivery application can include an orderer application, a seller application, a delivery person application, etc., depending on the needs of the user. The user terminal 110 can be a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet PC, or a static device such as a desktop PC. Any device on which an e-commerce or food delivery application can be installed and executed can be used as the user terminal 110 without limitation.

[0042] The electronic device 120 communicates with the user terminal 110 and provides the user terminal 110 with information related to e-commerce or food delivery services. More specifically, the electronic device 120 can provide a list of items or stores as a database search result, or can provide detailed store information, including detailed information about each item stored in the database or a list of items sold at the store. The electronic device 120 can provide information about stores and menus to a user who is ordering an item through the e-commerce or food delivery service, and can provide information about recommended stores and recommended menus to facilitate the user's order.

[0043] In one embodiment, the electronic device 120 may check user information corresponding to the user terminal 110 and, based on the user information, check a list of stores recommended to the user from among a plurality of stores provided by the service. The electronic device 120 may also check a list of items sold at each store in the store list, and may provide a page including the store list and the item list to the user terminal 110. A method in which the electronic device 120 provides the store and item list to the user will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2.

[0044] FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating information exchanges and corresponding operations of each node involved in a method for providing an item list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] 2, in step S210, the electronic device 220 may check user information corresponding to the user terminal 210. The electronic device 220 may receive the user information from the user terminal 210 and check the user information corresponding to the user terminal 210 in a database of the electronic device 220. In one embodiment, the user information may include at least one of the user's search history information, store visit information, favorite item information, discount coupon information, service connection time information, or purchase history information, and may also include other information related to the user's use of the service.

[0046] In one embodiment, the user information may include location information associated with the user. The location information associated with the user may include the user's current location information obtained through GPS information of the user terminal 210 or address information entered by the user for delivery of the food ordered by the user. In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may confirm the location information associated with the user based on the user's recent order history information or the address set as the current delivery location from the user's delivery location list.

[0047] In operation S220, the electronic device 220 may check a store list including at least one store among the plurality of stores based on user information. In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check the store list based on user search history information. For example, the electronic device 220 may check a category to which a store or item recently searched by the user belongs, and may check a store list including stores belonging to the category.

[0048] In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check a store list based on the user's store visit information. For example, the electronic device 220 may check the category to which the user recently visited a store belongs and view a store list including stores belonging to the category. The electronic device 220 may also check the user's recently visited stores and view a store list based on stores similar to the store. In this case, stores similar to the store may be determined based on information about other stores visited by other users who visited the store. Information about stores primarily visited by other users who visited a particular store may be stored in a database of the electronic device 220 and updated at regular intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly). A store visit may be determined to be valid only if the user visited the store for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 20 seconds) or more and searched for an item, and the store list may be viewed based on this determination. Alternatively, if the user visited the store a predetermined number of times (e.g., three times) or more, the store list may be viewed with priority given to stores determined based on the store.

[0049] In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check a store list based on the user's purchase history information. The electronic device 220 may check a category to which the user's recently purchased items or stores belong, and may check a store list including stores that belong to the category. The electronic device 220 may also check a category to which the user's frequently purchased items or stores belong, and may check a store list including stores that belong to the category.

[0050] In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check a store list based on the user's favorite item information. The user's favorite item information refers to information about items designated as favorite items by the user on the user terminal 210. The electronic device 220 may check the store and category to which the user's favorite item belongs, and may check a store list including similar stores and stores belonging to the category.

[0051] In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check a store list based on discount coupon information possessed by the user. For example, the electronic device 220 may check discount coupon information possessed by the user and check a store list including stores where the coupon can be used.

[0052] In one embodiment, the electronic device 220 may check a store list based on the user's service access time. The electronic device 220 may check the user's service access time and check a store list including stores with a high order volume during the corresponding time period. For example, if the user's service access time corresponds to the lunch peak or dinner peak, the user is expected to mainly select categories such as "Korean food," "Japanese food," "Chinese food," and "Asian food," and therefore a store list including stores belonging to the corresponding categories may be checked. On the other hand, if the user's service access time corresponds to a time after the lunch peak, the user is expected to mainly select categories such as "coffee / tea," "desserts," and "snacks," and therefore a store list including stores belonging to the corresponding categories may be checked. Alternatively, it is possible to check other users' order histories in real time and check a store list including stores belonging to categories with a high order volume.

[0053] With regard to the criteria for determining the stores to be included in the store list, the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and any criteria that the user determines to be taken into consideration when selecting a store can be applied, and it is also possible to set criteria by combining multiple criteria.

[0054] In addition, when the electronic device 220 checks the store list, the stores included in the store list may be determined by further considering location information related to the user. For example, the store list may include only stores located within a predetermined distance based on location information related to the user. Alternatively, the stores determined by the above conditions may be sorted in order of distance based on location information related to the user, and only some of the sorted stores may be included in the store list.

[0055] In one embodiment, when stores in the same category are included taking into account search history information, store visit information, favorite item information, etc., the stores in the store list may be sorted based on the similarity between the stores within the category. In one embodiment, when stores to be included in the store list are determined based on multiple criteria, the stores in the store list may be sorted based on the scores assigned to each store, taking into account weights assigned to each of the multiple criteria. For example, the electronic device 220 may review the store list by taking into account both information on the number of orders placed by other users during the user's service connection time and the user's store visit information. In this case, the electronic device 220 may review the store list by taking into account weights assigned to the number of orders placed by other users and the user's store visit information, which are differently assigned to each of the information on the number of orders placed by other users and the information on the user's store visit, and sort the stores based on the scores assigned to each store when the weights are taken into account.

[0056] In step S230, the electronic device 220 may check, for each store included in the store list checked in step S210, an item list including at least one item currently on sale at the corresponding store. In one embodiment, the item list may be sorted based on the priority of each item in the item list and may be configured to include information about only a portion of the items currently on sale at the store. In one embodiment, the priority may be determined based on at least one of information about the number of times an item is recommended, information about the number of times an item is ordered, priority information provided by a store operator selling the item, the order in which the item is displayed on the store details page of the store to which the item belongs, information about the user's purchase history, or information about the user's service connection time.

[0057] Regarding the criteria for determining the priority of items in the item list, the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and any criteria that a user determines to be taken into consideration when selecting items can be applied, and priorities can also be set by combining multiple criteria. When determining priorities by combining multiple criteria, the items in the item list can be sorted based on the scores corresponding to each item when the weight values ​​set for each of the multiple criteria are taken into consideration.

[0058] In step S240, the electronic device 220 may generate a page including the list of stores identified in step S220 and the list of items identified in step S230. In one embodiment, the page is the first page a user enters after launching the delivery service application. The page may include store category information, recommended store information, recommended item information for the recommended stores, advertisements related to the stores, and coupon information available to the user, and may be referred to as a main screen or gateway page.

[0059] In one embodiment, the page may include information about each store in the store list. The information about the store may include at least one of the store's name, rating, category, location, or distance from the user. In one embodiment, the page may also include information about each item in the item list. The information about the item may include at least one of the item's name, image, rating, category, price, or discount coupon information. Pages including store lists and item lists will be described below with reference to FIG. 3.

[0060] In step S250, the page generated in step S240 may be provided to the user terminal 210. The user may view the first page on the user terminal 210 and determine an item to purchase by referring to the store list displayed on the first page and the item list provided by the corresponding store. The user may enter a page for viewing the entire store list displayed on the first page through user input, select one of the store lists displayed on the first page to enter a store details page, or select one of the item lists to enter an item details page. In this way, the user can view store and item information through channels other than search on the main screen, thereby facilitating the user's purchasing process, increasing the user's desire to purchase, and improving the user's service satisfaction. The page for viewing the entire store list, the store details page, and the item details page will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

[0061] FIG. 3 illustrates a page containing a store list and an item list according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] 3, a page 300 including a store list and an item list is shown. The page 300 includes a first area 310 that displays the store list and the item list. In addition to the store list and the item list, the page 300 may further include address information entered by the user for delivery of the food ordered by the user, discount offer information (e.g., discount information for first-time orders), store category information, etc.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first region 310 may include a region 320 displaying information about stores, where the region 320 may include information about each store in the store list. The information about the store may include, for example, but is not limited to, at least one of the store's name, rating, category, location, distance from the user, or a list of coupons available at the store, and may include any information about the store that is useful to the user. In one embodiment, the first region 310 includes a region 330 displaying information about items, where the region 330 may include information about each item in the item list. The information about the items may include, for example, but is not limited to, at least one of the item's name, image, rating, category, price, or a list of coupons available for the item, and may include any information about the item that is useful to the user.

[0064] In one embodiment, the store list on the user terminal 210 may be configured as a horizontal list in the first area 310, and the user may be configured to scroll the first area 310 to search for stores in the store list. In one embodiment, the number of stores that can be searched through scrolling may be limited to a predetermined number (e.g., five). That is, when a user connects to a delivery application through the user terminal 210, the first area 310 on the page 300 provided on the user terminal 210 may display a first store in the store list and item information within the first store. When the user scrolls the first area 310, a second store and item information within the second store may be displayed. By repeating this process, information related to the third, fourth, and fifth stores may be viewed in order. When the user scrolls while information related to the fifth store is displayed in the first area 310, information related to the first store may be displayed again. In this embodiment, the predetermined number is described as five, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be set to any number set by the service provider.

[0065] In one embodiment, the number of items in the item list displayed in the first area 310 of the page 300 may also be limited to a predetermined number (e.g., three). In this case, the predetermined number may be determined according to the number of items that can be exposed on the gateway page depending on the physical size of the user terminal 210. In one embodiment, the predetermined number of items to be exposed on the gateway page may be determined taking into account the priority of the items in the item list. That is, taking into account the priority of the items, only the predetermined number of items with the highest priority may be determined as the items to be exposed on the gateway page.

[0066] As mentioned above, the priority of an item may be determined based on, for example, at least one of the following: the number of orders for the item, the rating of the item, priority information provided by the operator of the store to which the item belongs, the order in which the item is displayed on the details page of the store to which the item belongs, the user's service connection time, or the user's purchase history, but is not limited to these, and may be determined based on any information that a user is likely to take into consideration when selecting an item, and it is also possible to select multiple pieces of information and determine the priority based on weighting values ​​set for each piece of information.

[0067] In one embodiment, when determining the predetermined number of items to be displayed on the gateway page, some items that meet set conditions can be filtered and removed from the item list. For example, items that belong to beverages or alcoholic beverages, items without images, or items that belong to side menus can be prevented from being displayed on the gateway page. In this case, whether an item belongs to beverages, alcoholic beverages, or side menus can be determined based on category information stored in the database of the electronic device 220. Items priced below a certain amount can also be filtered to prevent them from being displayed on the gateway page.

[0068] In one embodiment, the page 300 may include a list update button 311 in the first region 310. In response to a user's input to the list update button 311, the list of stores displayed in the first region 310 may be replaced with a new store list. In one embodiment, the number of stores included in the store list based on the user information from among multiple stores provided by the service provider may be limited to a predetermined number, and therefore the number of updates may also be limited to a predetermined number.

[0069] In one embodiment, page 300 may include a view full list button 312 in first region 310. Referring to FIG. 4 , a page 400 providing the entire store list may be accessed in response to a user input on the view full list button 312. Page 400 providing the entire store list may include information about all stores included in the store list, and a user may scroll up or down to search for information about each store in the store list. In one embodiment, page 400 may also further include an item list corresponding to each store.

[0070] In one embodiment, in response to a user's input to the area 320 corresponding to store information in the first area 310 of the page 300, a store details page 500 for the corresponding store, as shown in FIG. 5, may be accessed. The store details page 500 may include a list page containing basic information about the specific store and items sold at the specific store. It may also include detailed store information, such as coupons, delivery information, and reviews related to the specific store. Referring to FIG. 5b, items 501, 502, and 503 belonging to the item list on the store details page 500 may be displayed differently. For example, items 501, 502, and 503 belonging to the item list may be displayed in different boldness or colors, or may be highlighted. Displaying items 501, 502, and 503 in the item list differently on the store details page in this way allows users to more easily and quickly find items viewed on the gateway page.

[0071] In one embodiment, in response to a user's input into the area 330 corresponding to the item information in the first area 310 of the page 300, an item details page 600 for the corresponding item, as shown in FIG. 6 , can be accessed. At this time, the item details page 600 can be accessed directly from the gateway page, or the user can first access the store details page 500 of the store selling the corresponding item on the gateway page and then access the item details page 600 after a predetermined time has passed. The item details page 600 can include information about the item, such as an image of the item, a description of the item, and the price of the item, and can include an area 610 for selecting the quantity of the item to purchase and an area 620 for adding the item to a cart for purchase. In this way, by moving to the item details page in response to a user's input corresponding to the item information viewed on the gateway page, the user can more easily purchase the item viewed on the gateway page. This can improve the user's experience with the service and lead to increased sales.

[0079] The processor may include at least one of RAM, ROM, CPU, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and bus. The RAM, ROM, CPU, and GPU may be connected to each other via a bus. The CPU accesses the memory and starts up using the operating system (O / S) stored in the memory. It then performs various operations using various programs, content, data, and the like stored in the memory. The ROM stores an instruction set for system startup. For example, when a turn-on command is input and power is supplied to the user terminal 710, the CPU copies the operating system stored in the memory to RAM according to the instructions stored in the ROM and executes the OS to start up the system. After startup is complete, the CPU copies various programs stored in the memory to RAM and executes the programs copied to RAM to perform various operations. After startup of the user terminal 710 is complete, the GPU displays a UI screen on the display unit 718. Specifically, the GPU may generate a screen displaying an electronic document including various objects such as content, icons, and menus. The GPU calculates attribute values, such as coordinates, shape, size, color, etc., for each object to be displayed according to the screen layout. The GPU can then generate screens with various layouts including the objects based on the calculated attribute values. The screens generated by the GPU are provided to the display unit 718 and can be displayed in various areas of the display unit 718.

[0080] The user terminal 710 may also include a speaker for event output, and may further include a memory (not shown) for storing at least a portion of the information transmitted and received through the transceiver 712 and information for operation of the user terminal 710.
