For example, server device 100 and user device 200 can use transceiver 220 to communicate with each other or with other devices.

[0042] Here, communication, i.e., the transmission and reception of data, can be achieved via wired or wireless means. Therefore, transceiver 220 may include a wired communication module connected to the Internet via a LAN (Local Area Network), a mobile communication module connected to a mobile communication network via a mobile communication base station to transmit and receive data, a short-range communication module utilizing communication methods such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Local Area Network) or Wi-Fi-based WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), or a satellite communication module utilizing GPS (Global Positioning System) or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), or combinations thereof.

[0043] Storage 230 can store various types of information. Storage 230 can store data temporarily or semi-permanently. For example, storage 230 of server device 100 can store the operating system (OS) used to drive server device 100, data used to manage the website, programs used to generate Braille, and data related to applications (e.g., web applications). Furthermore, storage 230 can store modules in the form of computer code as described above.

[0044] Examples of storage devices 230 may include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), flash memory, read-only memory (ROMs), and random access memory (RAMs). Such storage devices 230 can be provided in an internal or removable form.

[0045] Processor 240 controls the overall operation of server device 100 and user device 200. To this end, processor 240 can perform various information calculations and processing, and control the operation of the components of server device 100. For example, processor 240 can execute programs and applications for providing information. Processor 240 can be implemented as a computer or a similar device by means of hardware, software, or a combination thereof. In terms of hardware, processor 240 can be implemented as a circuit that uses electrical signals to process and perform control functions; in terms of software, it can be implemented as a program that drives the hardware processor 240. On the other hand, unless specifically mentioned in the following description, the operation of server device 100 and user device 200 can be interpreted as being implemented by the control of processor 240. That is, when executing the modules implemented in the above-described information providing system, the modules can be interpreted as processor 240 controlling server device 100 and user device 200 in a manner that performs the following actions.

[0046] In short, various embodiments can be implemented by various mechanisms. For example, various embodiments can be implemented by hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof.

[0047] In cases where implementation is achieved through hardware, the methods of various embodiments can be implemented using one or more ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), DSPs (digital signal processors), DSPDs (digital signal processing devices), PLDs (programmable logic devices), FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), processors, controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, etc.

[0048] When implemented using firmware or software, the methods of various embodiments can be implemented in the form of modules, programs, or functions that perform the functions or actions described below. For example, software code can be stored in memory and driven by a processor. The memory can be located inside or outside the processor and can send and receive data with the processor via various known mechanisms.

[0049] The following describes various embodiments in more detail based on the technical concept described above. The previously described content can be applied to the various embodiments described below. For example, actions, functions, terms, etc., not defined in the various embodiments described below can be implemented and described based on the previous content.

[0050] In the following description, various embodiments will be described under the premise that: server device 100 performs the action of providing information on recommended items for pets; according to various embodiments, user device 200 can output and provide information on recommended items received from server device 100.

[0051] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating the operation method of a server device 100 for providing information in various embodiments.

[0052] According to Figure 3, the server device 100 can provide information on recommended items for pets. Specifically, in terms of service, a pet service page (301) is provided in response to user input that selects a pet service page that provides information on caring for pets. The user obtains the first health status information of the pet through the pet service page (303). Based on a preset model, information on the first recommended item for the pet corresponding to the first health status information is confirmed (305), and information on the first recommended item is provided (307).

[0053] According to Figure 3, the server device 100 can provide information on recommended items for services provided by or related to the server device 100. This service can be equivalent to a service where multiple users can order and purchase multiple items sold within the service. The types or kinds of items sold within the service are not limited and can include various types or kinds of items registered by the seller for the purpose of selling items.

[0054] Furthermore, it can be configured to provide a pet service page within the services provided by server device 100 or services related to server device 100, the pet service page being used to provide pet-related items and care solutions. Server device 100 can be managed to allow pet owners to input or retrieve various pet-related information on the pet service page via user device 200; it can also be managed to allow pet care experts to input or retrieve various information on the pet service page via expert terminals during the provision of the various pet-related services described below.

[0055] According to various embodiments, in action 301, server device 100 may provide a pet service page on the service corresponding to user input selecting a pet service page, the pet service page providing information for caring for pets.

[0056] For example, information about pet care provided through the pet service page included in the service may include sales information for one or more items corresponding to different pet types. That is, users may own various kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, hamsters, and hedgehogs, and various items corresponding to each animal type may be sold on the pet service page.

[0057] As an example, items corresponding to one or more pet types may include pet food and treats, pet accessories, pet toys, and / or pet grooming and bathing supplies. In other words, various pet-related items can be categorized and sold through the pet service page according to different pet types.

[0058] Alternatively, as an example, one or more items corresponding to a pet type may include items determined based on sales volume and / or discount rate. Specifically, the pet service page may display sales information for items with higher sales volume or higher discount rate among those categorized and confirmed according to pet type.

[0059] Alternatively, as an example, one or more items corresponding to a pet type may include items certified by pet-related experts. For pet care, pet-related experts such as veterinarians may be associated with the service to determine the suitability or recommendation of items sold to pets during the service. Items deemed suitable or recommended by the expert may display an icon indicating that the expert has certified them. As described above, sales information for items may be displayed on the pet service page, and these items may display an icon indicating that the expert has certified them.

[0060] For example, information about pet care provided through a pet service page included in the service may include information on pet care solutions. That is, the pet service page may include not only sales information for pet-related items, but also information on various solutions offered to pet owners.

[0061] As an example, care plans offered through a pet service page may include plans that provide regular genetic testing services based on genetic testing kits for pet owners. Each pet needs to undergo regular genetic testing and other examinations at intervals, and this can be provided through the service. Specifically, server device 100 can manage the provision and delivery of testing kits to allow users to perform genetic testing on their pets through the service, and allows users to input the results of the genetic testing kits into the service to provide analytical information obtained from the genetic testing results.

[0062] Alternatively, as an example, care plans offered through a pet service page may include care plans that provide medical services at animal hospitals associated with the service. Server device 100 can be managed to associate pre-confirmed animal hospitals with the service to assist with pet medical care; and can be configured to process appointments or acceptances for nearby animal hospitals on the service based on the user's address information or current location information. Furthermore, when a user makes an appointment or receives medical care at an animal hospital associated with the service, server device 100 can also manage this by providing the user's address information or current location information with route guidance information to the corresponding animal hospital.

[0063] Alternatively, as an example, care plans offered through a pet service page may include plans that provide expert video consultation services for pets. Server device 100 can be managed in such a way that users are associated with pet-related experts so that they can receive video consultations on the service; and can be configured to match users with experts to receive video consultations on the service.

[0064] Alternatively, as an example, care solutions offered through a pet service page may include those providing expert consultations and diagnoses based on the pet's health status. As described above, video consultations require the user and expert to meet via video at the same time, thus being constrained by consultation time or the expert's workload. Therefore, server device 100 can provide not only video consultations but also contactless consultations and diagnoses, allowing users to receive the desired consultation and diagnoses with less constraint from consultation time or the expert's workload. Specifically, if a user requests a consultation and diagnoses after inputting their pet's primary health status information on the service, the expert will fill in the consultation and diagnoses content corresponding to the aforementioned primary health status information and the user's inquiries. Server device 100 can then provide the user with the consultation and diagnoses content entered by the expert. At this time, in order to prevent users' consultation and diagnosis requests from being put on hold for too long, the server device 100 can also manage them in the following ways: periodically send notification information to experts that consultation and diagnosis content needs to be filled in, or require experts to fill in consultation and diagnosis content within a fixed critical time from the time the user's consultation and diagnosis request is confirmed.

[0065] For example, the pet service page included in the service may include information on more than one expert for pet care. As described above, server device 100 can manage the association of pet-related experts, such as veterinarians, with the service for pet care, and can manage the display of expert introductions or resumes on the pet service page. Through the management described above, the trust of users connected to the pet service page can be sought.

[0066] On the other hand, the server device 100 can be configured to provide rewards or incentives to each expert based on their activity details in order to motivate the experts associated with the service to participate in the service. Specifically, the server device 100 can manage this by identifying the activity details of each expert associated with the service in order to care for the pet, and providing rewards to each expert based on these activity details. The more activity details an expert has, the more rewards are provided. The activity details considered for providing rewards may include details such as: details of performing video consultations; details of performing consultations and diagnoses; and details of recommending or certifying items for pets.

[0067] According to various embodiments, in action 303, server device 100 can obtain the user's pet's first health status information through the pet service page.

[0068] For example, the pet service page provided by server device 100 via action 301 may include information set to allow users to input their pet's health status information. In action 303, server device 100 obtains the first health status information based on user input on the pet service page.

[0069] For example, the first health status information of the pet obtained by the server device 100 through action 303 may include various information that can confirm the health status, such as: the pet's physical information; food intake information; gait status information; sleep pattern information; and / or defecation status information.

[0070] For example, the pet's first health status information obtained by the server device 100 through action 303 can be input into a preset model that implements the health diagnosis information output method of Figure 4 described below. The preset model can output first health diagnosis information corresponding to the first health status information based on the input first health status information.

[0071] According to various embodiments, in action 305, server device 100 can confirm information on the first recommended item for the pet corresponding to the first health status information based on a preset model.

[0072] For example, the preset model can be a model that learns by receiving health status information, determining health diagnoses, and outputting health diagnosis information. As an example, this can correspond to AI (Artificial Intelligence) and an engine. The preset model can be configured as follows: associated with a service and managed by server device 100. The preset model can be configured through the learning process shown in Figure 5 to implement the health diagnosis information output method described in Figure 4 below.

[0073] For example, the action by which server device 100 confirms the information of the first recommended item based on action 305 can be the action of confirming a portion of the health diagnosis information output by a preset model. Depending on the settings, server device 100 can not only confirm the information of the recommended item as in action 305, but also the information included in the health diagnosis information, such as recommended physical activities, recommended parenting environments, and recommended medical examinations.

[0074] According to various embodiments, in action 307, server device 100 can provide information on the first recommended item.

[0075] For example, the action by which server device 100 provides information on the first recommended item to the user according to action 307 can be an action that provides a portion of the health diagnosis information output by a preset model. Depending on the settings, server device 100 can manage this in the following way: not only providing the user with information on recommended items as in action 307, but also providing the user with information on recommended physical activities, recommended parenting environments, and recommended medical examinations included in the health diagnosis information.

[0076] For example, it can be configured such that when server device 100 provides information on the first recommended item to the user according to action 307, it also provides expert opinions on the first recommended item. That is, it can be configured such that after server device 100 obtains the user's pet's first health status information and inputs it into a preset model, for the corresponding output result, namely the first recommended item, server device 100 can convey the first health status information and the first recommended item information to a specific expert to obtain the expert's opinion information on the first recommended item. This opinion information is then provided to the user along with the information on the first recommended item. If the specific expert provides a negative opinion on the first recommended item that is sufficient to determine that it is difficult to provide recommended item information to the user, server device 100 can operate as follows: retain the information on the first recommended item provided to the user, re-input the first health status information into the preset model to obtain information on other recommended items, and then convey it to the specific expert again.

[0077] Here, the specific expert who provides feedback on the recommended items can be an expert pre-selected from one or more experts specializing in pet care, in the following manner: confirming the information on the recommended items and their feedback included in the results output by the preset model. Furthermore, the selection of the specific expert described above can be based on the following: the specific expert has more activity details or higher ratings related to the recommendation of items for pets. In other words, the server device 100 can filter experts in the following manner: judging the activity details and ratings related to the recommendation of items for pets for each expert associated with the service, and thereby confirming the information on the recommended items output from the preset model.

[0078] The server device 100 can be managed in the following ways: if an expert performs consultations, diagnoses, and / or video consultations, users can evaluate the content of the expert's consultation, diagnoses, and / or video consultations. The evaluation criteria include whether appropriate suggestions for item recommendations exist, thus confirming the ratings of each expert related to pet item recommendations. Furthermore, the server device 100 can also be managed in the following ways: by determining the number of times an expert performs activities related to pet item recommendations or certifications, confirming the activity details of each expert related to pet item recommendations. The server device 100 can also be managed in the following ways: by filtering experts with more activity details or higher ratings related to item recommendations, allowing the selected experts to evaluate the information on recommended items output by the preset model and provide feedback.

[0079] Similarly, it can be managed in the following way: in addition to the information on recommended items, it can also provide users with information on recommended physical activities, recommended parenting environments, and recommended medical examination items, which are output by the preset model as health diagnosis information, along with expert opinions; users can filter and evaluate each piece of information and the experts who provide opinions based on activity details and ratings.

[0080] The server device 100 can be managed in the following way: if an expert performs consultations, diagnoses, and / or video consultations, users can evaluate the content of the expert's consultations, diagnoses, and / or video consultations. The evaluation criteria include whether appropriate suggestions are made regarding physical activity recommendations, home environment recommendations, and / or diagnostic examination recommendations for pets. The server device 100 can also be managed in the following way: it can determine the number of times an expert performs consultations, diagnoses, and / or video consultations for pets, thereby confirming the activity details of each expert related to physical activity recommendations, home environment recommendations, and / or diagnostic examination recommendations for pets. The server device 100 can be managed in the following way: by selecting experts who have more activity details or higher scores related to physical activity recommendations, parenting environment recommendations and / or medical examination recommendations, the selected experts can evaluate the information on recommended physical activities, recommended parenting environments and recommended medical examinations output by the preset model and provide opinions.

[0081] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation methods of various embodiments of the model used to output health diagnostic information.

[0082] In Figure 4, the model outputs health diagnosis information for the pet. Specifically, it can obtain health status information of the pet, including the pet's body information, food intake information, gait status information, sleep pattern information and / or defecation status information (401). Based on the health status information, it determines the information for recommended physical activities, recommended living environment, recommended medical examination items and / or recommended items for the pet (403), and outputs health diagnosis information including the information for recommended physical activities, recommended living environment, recommended medical examination items and / or recommended items (405).

[0083] The model in Figure 4 can be a model that learns by outputting information on the health status of a pet based on information that can determine the pet's health status. The specific process of implementing machine learning based on the above model can be seen in Figure 5.

[0084] Figure 5 illustrates the process of implementing machine learning to output health diagnostic information.

[0085] To enable machine learning to output health diagnosis information corresponding to pet health status information, various health status data that can be used to determine health status can be collected. For example, the pet health status data collected for machine learning may include: 1) physical data, including the pet's age, body size, weight, etc.; 2) food intake data, including the pet's food intake per meal and / or daily food intake, etc.; 3) gait status information, including the pet's gait status such as lameness and uncoordinated walking; 4) sleep pattern information, including patterns such as wake-up time, bedtime, and sleep duration; and / or 5) defecation status information, including urine color, feces color, and the degree of hardness or looseness of feces, etc. For machine learning, various exemplary health status data can be collected for learning purposes.

[0086] To achieve machine learning that outputs health diagnosis information corresponding to health status information, learning health status data can be input into the model (501). When learning health status data is input into the model, corresponding health diagnosis data can be output from the model (503), and feedback can be given to the model based on the output health diagnosis data (505). The model learns by repeatedly performing the learning process of inputting and outputting data and giving feedback, and the learning process can be carried out until the number of repetitions reaches a preset number (507).
