Meanwhile, unless otherwise specified in the following description, the operations of the server device (100) and the user device (200) may be interpreted as being performed under the control of the processor (240). That is, when the modules implemented in the above-described information provision system are executed, the modules can be interpreted as controlling the processor (240) to perform the following operations on the server device (100) and the user device (200).

[0054] In summary, the various embodiments may be implemented through various means. For example, the various embodiments may be implemented through hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof.

For example, software code may be stored in memory and executed by a processor. The memory may be located within or external to the processor and may exchange data with the processor via various known means.

[0057] Below, various embodiments are described in more detail based on the above technical concepts. The previously described concepts may be applied to the various embodiments described below. For example, operations, functions, terms, etc. not defined in the various embodiments described below may be performed and explained based on the previously described concepts.

[0058] The following description describes various embodiments assuming that the server device (100) performs an operation of providing code exception handling notification information for a service, and according to various embodiments, a user device (200) for a service manager can output and provide code exception handling notification information received from the server device (100).

[0059] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation method of a server device (100) for providing information according to various embodiments.

[0060] According to FIG. 3, the server device (100) sets one or more judgment conditions for determining the service application status of a promotion based on promotion application history data generated in response to a promotion on a service (301), checks the first promotion application history data generated in response to the first promotion applied to the user's first order among a plurality of promotions set for the service (303), and provides first information for determining whether the first promotion was normally applied to the first order based on the one or more judgment conditions and the first promotion application history data (305).

[0061] According to FIG. 3, the operation of providing information for determining whether a promotion has been normally applied by the server device (100) may be performed for a service provided by the server device (100) or a service related to the server device (100), and the service may correspond to a service in which multiple users using the service can order and purchase multiple items sold in the service. The multiple items sold in the service are not limited to the type or type of items, and may include various types or types of items registered by sellers to sell the items.

[0062] According to various embodiments, in operation 301, the server device (100) may set one or more judgment conditions for determining the service application status of a promotion based on promotion application history data generated in response to a promotion on a service.

[0063] For example, promotion application history data generated in response to a promotion on a service may include various service-related data generated as a result of the promotion being applied on the service, such as for a promotion applied according to a specific promotion version to a specific user, specific item, or category on the service. For example, promotion application history data may include data related to a user or order history, data related to the promotion version of a promotion applied to an order and the application time period of the promotion version, data related to the history of internal data changes to the service due to the application of a promotion to an order and the internal data change timestamp, and / or data related to the history of external data changes to the service due to the application of a promotion to an order and the external data change timestamp.

[0064] Here, data related to the promotion version and the time period in which the promotion is applied may refer to data regarding the various promotion versions applied to an order and the respective time periods in which each promotion version is applied separately, for a promotion that may have various promotion versions that change over time because the content of the promotion applied to the service may change over time. In addition, data related to the internal data change history and internal data change timestamp of the service refers to data regarding the change history of data changed within the service due to the application of the promotion to an order and the timestamp of each change history. For example, data such as the price change history and price change timestamp within the service due to the application of the promotion may correspond to this. Similarly, data related to the external data change history and external data change timestamp of the service refers to data regarding the change history of data changed outside the service due to the application of the promotion to an order and the timestamp of each change history. For example, data such as the discounted price transmission history and discounted price transmission timestamp to a payment method operator outside the service due to the application of the promotion may correspond to this.

[0065] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of how promotion application details data is generated in response to a promotion on a service.

[0066] For an order acquired on the service, data related to a promotion applied to the order can be confirmed in a promotion server (“NPS”) (401), and based on the promotion server, data related to the promotion version and the application time period of the promotion version applied to the order (“Meta Change”), data related to the internal data change history and internal data change timestamp of the service according to the application of the promotion to the order (“Data Change Internal Notification”), and / or data related to the external data change history and external data change timestamp of the service according to the application of the promotion to the order (“Data Change External Notification”) are determined (403), and promotion application history data including the determined data can be generated by a data generation device (“Offline Data Generator”) (405).

[0067] At this time, the promotion application details data generated in FIG. 4 may have the format of dump data for verifying the application of the promotion on the service.

[0068] For example, in operation 301, one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) may include a first condition for determining whether the user who requested the order meets the target users of the promotion. That is, in a case where a promotion on a service is set to be applied to users with limited conditions, such as a certain user group or a user pool, a condition for determining whether the promotion has been applied to an appropriate user may be included in one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) in operation 301. For example, in a case where a promotion is set to be applied only to users of a certain age or gender on the service, the first condition as described above may be set to determine whether the user who requested the order to which the promotion is applied meets the age group or gender set for the promotion.

[0069] For example, in operation 301, one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) may include a second condition for determining whether an item included in an order corresponds to an item subject to a promotion. That is, in a case where a promotion on a service is set to be applied to items with limited conditions such as a certain item group or category, a condition for determining whether the promotion has been applied to an appropriate item may be included in one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) in operation 301. For example, in a case where a promotion is set to be applied to items included in the home appliance category on the service, the second condition as described above may be set to determine whether an item included in an order to which the promotion has been applied corresponds to the home appliance category set for the promotion.

[0070] For example, in operation 301, one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) may include a third condition for determining whether the promotion version of the promotion applied to the order matches the target promotion version corresponding to the time of application of the promotion to the order. That is, for a promotion in which the content of the promotion applied to the service may change over time and thus may have various promotion versions that change over time, a condition for determining whether the promotion version used when the promotion is applied to the order matches the promotion version that should have been originally applied at the time of application of the promotion may be included in one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) in operation 301. For example, if there is a promotion in which a promotion version providing a 10% discount is applied until a certain point in time and a different promotion version providing a 15% discount is applied after the certain point in time, the third condition as described above may be set to determine whether the correct promotion version has been applied by comparing the time at which the promotion was applied to the order with the certain point in time.

[0071] For example, in operation 301, one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) may include a fourth condition for determining whether the promotion has been applied to an order within a preset threshold number of times that the promotion can be applied to the service. That is, for a promotion with a preset threshold number of times that can be applied to the service, a condition for determining whether the number of times that the promotion has been applied to an order on the service, which is confirmed when the promotion is applied to the order, is within the preset threshold number may be included in one or more of the judgment conditions set by the server device (100) in operation 301. For example, in the case of a promotion that is set to be applied 100 times on the service, the fourth condition as described above may be set to determine whether the number of times that the promotion has been applied on the service, which is confirmed when the promotion is applied to the order, is within 100.

[0072] For example, in operation 301, each judgment condition included in one or more judgment conditions set by the server device (100) may be applied to the promotion application history data based on the fact that each judgment condition is input into a converter that sets judgment conditions for judging the service application status of the promotion. That is, the server device (100) may be provided with a converter that can input and manage judgment conditions for judging the application status of the promotion, and when each judgment condition is input into the converter, the converter may operate to verify or determine whether the promotion application history data satisfies each judgment condition based on the input judgment condition. For example, each judgment condition for judging the service application status of the promotion may be applied to the promotion application history data when the service manager inputs each judgment condition into the converter, and by providing a separate converter that inputs each judgment condition in this way, the service manager can easily manage the conditions for judging the service application status of the promotion through the converter.

[0073] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a structure for determining whether a promotion has been applied normally based on promotion application history data.

[0074] The structure of FIG. 5 may include a "Data Validator" (501) that verifies and determines the application of a promotion based on one or more determination conditions for determining the service application status of the promotion, and a "Dynamic Constraint Converter" (509) in which one or more determination conditions are input and managed. When the service manager inputs each determination condition related to the service application status of the promotion into the "Dynamic Constraint Converter" (509), the "Data Validator" (501) calls the promotion application history data from the "Meta" (511) that receives and manages the promotion application history data, and determines whether the promotion application history data satisfies each determination condition, and based on the determined content, information on whether the application of the promotion was normal may be provided.

[0075] At this time, in the structure of FIG. 5, in addition to the "Data Validator" (501), the "Dynamic Constraint Converter" (509) and the "Meta" (511) for examining the judgment conditions to determine the service application status of the promotion, a "Plugin Manager" (507) that can be linked to a promotion server that manages data about the promotion and a storage that stores and manages promotion application history data, a "Statistics Generator" (503) for generating trend statistics information about the promotion according to FIGS. 7 and 8 described below, and a "Baseline Generator" (505) for generating comparison information about standard promotion application history data and actual promotion application history data may also be included.

[0076] According to various embodiments, in operation 303, the server device (100) may check first promotion application details data generated in response to a first promotion applied for a user's first order among a plurality of promotions set for the service.

[0077] For example, in a service, multiple different orders may be acquired and various promotions may be applied to these orders. In this case, storage may be set up to store each promotion application history data generated according to the application of the promotion to each order. That is, the server device (100) may be equipped with a storage that can separately manage and store only the promotion application history data generated on the service according to the application of the promotion, and may call the promotion application history data to verify or determine whether the promotion has been normally applied from the storage. For example, operation 303, in which the server device (100) confirms the first promotion application history data generated in response to the first promotion applied to the user's first order, may include an operation in which the server device (100) acquires the first promotion application history data from the storage as described above.

[0078] According to various embodiments, in operation 305, the server device (100) may provide first information for determining whether the first promotion has been normally applied to the first order based on one or more judgment conditions and first promotion application history data.

[0079] For example, the first information provided by the server device (100) in operation 305 may include information that determines, through the first promotion application history data, whether 1) the first promotion was applied to an appropriate target user, 2) the first promotion was applied to an appropriate target item or category, 3) the first promotion was applied according to an appropriate promotion version, and / or 4) the first promotion was applied appropriately within a threshold number of applications on the service, according to one or more conditions set in operation 301.

[0080] For example, by having the service manager check the first information provided by the server device (100) in operation 305, the service manager can check whether there is an abnormality in the application of the first promotion to the first order on the service.

[0081] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a comprehensive structure that creates, stores, and calls promotion application history data to determine whether a promotion has been applied normally.

[0082] In the 601 structure of FIG. 6, promotion application details data including various data generated when a promotion is applied to an order can be generated based on data related to the promotion applied to the order for the order acquired on the service, and the promotion application details data generated in the 601 structure can be stored in a storage that can separately manage and store only data for the promotion application details through the 603 structure.

[0083] Afterwards, the promotion application history data stored in the storage in the 603 structure is called in the 605 structure, and is verified to see whether each pre-set judgment condition is satisfied to determine the service application status of the promotion. Based on the result, it is determined whether the promotion was applied normally, and related information can be provided to the service manager.

[0084] Meanwhile, the server device (100) may perform an operation of providing information for determining whether a promotion has been normally applied to an order by considering each judgment condition for the promotion application history data according to FIG. 3, in addition to an operation of setting standard promotion application history data including data that will occur in the service if the promotion is normally applied and comparing the standard promotion application history data with the promotion application history data to which the promotion has actually been applied to provide information for determining whether the promotion has been normally applied, as shown in FIG. 7, or may perform an operation of providing trend statistical information related to whether the promotion has been normally applied by checking the trend of promotion application based on promotion application history data generated by applying promotions to orders requested in the service, as shown in FIG. 8.

[0085] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation method in which a server device (100) provides information to determine whether a promotion has been applied normally by comparing standard promotion application history data with actual promotion application history data.

[0086] According to FIG. 7, the server device (100) generates standard promotion application history data that is set to include each data that will occur on the service when each promotion is normally applied to the user for each promotion included in a plurality of promotions set for the service (701), and provides comparison information that compares the standard promotion application history data and the second promotion application history data for specific second promotion application history data generated when a second promotion included in the plurality of promotions is applied to the user on the service (703), and may also provide second information for determining whether the second promotion was normally applied on the service based on the comparison information (705).

[0087] For example, the standard promotion application history data generated by the server device (100) in operation 701 may be data set to include each expected promotion application history data that is determined to occur when each promotion is ideally applied on the service. In other words, the standard promotion application history data may correspond to data including standard promotion application history data that is set to include each expected promotion application history data that is determined to occur when each promotion is used normally on the service without errors, for a plurality of promotions set for the service.

[0088] For example, the comparison information provided by the server device (100) in operation 703 may include first comparison information comparing, for the second promotion, an order amount set to be applied to the user in the standard promotion application details data and an actual order amount confirmed in the second promotion application details data generated when the second promotion is actually applied. That is, for the second promotion, comparison information comparing a verifiable order amount when the second promotion is normally used by the user on the service without error and an order amount confirmed when an actual user applies the second promotion and pays for an order may be provided by the server device (100).

[0089] For example, in operation 703, the comparison information provided by the server device (100) may include second comparison information that compares the history of provision of reward guidance messages set in response to the application of the second promotion in the standard promotion application history data with the history of provision of actual reward guidance messages confirmed in response to the application of the second promotion in the second promotion application history data generated when the second promotion is actually applied, in the case where the second promotion corresponds to a promotion that provides a reward corresponding to a certain amount after payment for an order. That is, for the second promotion corresponding to the promotion providing reward, when it is assumed that the second promotion is normally used by the user on the service without error, comparison information that compares the history of whether a reward guidance message is provided to the user or the administrator of the service and the history of whether a reward guidance message is provided to the user or the administrator of the service when the actual user applies the second promotion and pays for an order may be provided by the server device (100).

[0090] For example, in operation 703, the comparison information provided by the server device (100) may include third comparison information that compares a promotion list including promotions that are confirmed to be guided to users through pages on the service based on standard promotion application history data among multiple promotions set for the service, with a promotion list including promotions that are confirmed to have actually been guided to users through pages on the service based on promotion application history data generated in response to users. That is, a promotion list including promotions that are confirmed to be guided to users through pages on the service may be confirmed based on standard promotion application history data including each promotion application history data that is generated when each promotion is applied, and comparison information that compares this with a promotion list including promotions that are confirmed to have actually been guided to users through pages on the service based on promotion application history data generated according to promotions actually applied to users may be provided by the server device (100). Through such comparison information, the service administrator can determine whether promotions that are confirmed to be applicable or applicable to users are appropriately guided to users through pages on the service.

[0091] For example, by having the service manager check the second information provided by the server device (100) in operation 705, the service manager can check whether there is an abnormality in the application of the second promotion on the service.

[0092] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation method in which a server device (100) provides trend statistical information to check the application trend of a promotion based on promotion application history data.

[0093] According to FIG. 8, the server device (100) may check one or more third promotion application history data generated by applying the third promotion to one or more orders requested on the service for a third promotion included in a plurality of promotions set for the service (801), obtain trend statistical information related to the application of the third promotion based on one or more third promotion application history data (803), and provide the obtained trend statistical information (805).

[0094] For example, in operation 805, the trend statistical information provided by the server device (100) may include first trend statistical information for determining whether a difference occurs between the expected application result amount of the third promotion determined based on guidance information about the third promotion confirmed on the service and the actual application result amount when the third promotion is applied to the order. That is, when guidance information about the third promotion is provided to various users or various orders on the service, the difference between the expected application result amount of the third promotion for each order of each user according to the guidance information about the third promotion and the actual application result amount when the third promotion is actually applied to each order of each user may be synthesized to determine whether a trend that may be determined to be an amount calculation error on the service is confirmed between the expected application result amount and the actual application result amount. If a trend that may be determined to be an amount calculation error on the service for the application of the third promotion is confirmed based on the trend statistical information, the server device (100) may provide information related to a request for confirmation of the occurrence of an amount calculation error for the third promotion and a request for correction to the administrator of the service.

[0095] For example, in operation 805, the trend statistical information provided by the server device (100) may include second trend statistical information for determining whether a system error corresponding to the application of the third promotion has occurred in the service for the third promotion. That is, when applying the third promotion in the service, it is possible to determine whether a trend that may be determined as a system application error for the third promotion is confirmed by comprehensively determining whether a promotion application failure due to a delay in the system application of the promotion or an omission in the system application of the promotion has occurred. If a trend that may be determined as a system application error for the service for the third promotion is confirmed based on the trend statistical information, the server device (100) may provide the administrator of the service with information related to a confirmation request for the occurrence of a system application error for the third promotion and a correction request.

[0096] It is obvious that each piece of information can be combined in various forms in the process of performing the operation method in which the server device (100) provides information for determining whether a promotion has been applied normally according to FIGS. 3 to 8.
