Description

Method for providing an option picker screen and device thereof

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a method for providing an option picker screen for a product to be purchased, and to a computing device to which the method is applied. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for providing an option picker screen capable of determining the total number of selectable items, and to a computing device to which the method is applied.

[0002] The process of purchasing a product through online commerce includes selecting a product, displaying a product purchase page including an option picker screen for specifying purchase options such as quantity and size based on the properties of the selected product, specifying selection items through the option picker screen, and entering delivery address and payment information.

[0003] Even within the same product, as attributes become more diverse, buyers may face a variety of options to choose from. This process often leads to buyers experiencing significant deliberation, and in some cases, they abandon the process without actually making a purchase. Even if buyers don't abandon the process, they still have to invest significant time in selecting options. Therefore, improving this inefficiency is essential.

[0004] Meanwhile, if a product has a large number of selectable options, depending on its attributes, only a small percentage of the options may be displayed on the initial option picker screen. In this case, buyers may only see the initial option picker screen and mistakenly believe the available options differ significantly from their intended choices, leading to abandonment of the purchase. This situation can lead to a decline in conversion rates.

[0005] Accordingly, a method is required to guide the purchaser to easily check and select the desired selection by configuring the initial option picker screen in a form that allows the purchaser to easily identify all selectable selections.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved through one embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a method for providing an option picker screen in a form capable of determining the total number of selectable selection items for a target product and a computing device to which the method is applied.

[0007] A technical problem to be solved through other embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a method for providing an option picker screen in a form in which all selectable selection items for a target product can be easily identified and an intended selection item can be easily confirmed, and a computing device to which the method is applied.

At this time, the second object may include summary information on the names and prices of options corresponding to the remaining selection items.

[0014] In some embodiments, the step of determining the display target items may include the step of determining the number of display target items based on a vertical maximum length value of the initial option picker screen that has been specified.

[0015] In some embodiments, the step of determining the items to be displayed may include the step of determining the number of items to be displayed based on the selection history of the first purchaser.

[0016] In some embodiments, the step of determining the display target item may include the step of determining at least one of a popular item, a lowest unit item, and a previously purchased item among the plurality of selection items as the display target item.

[0017] In some embodiments, the step of generating the second object may include the step of distinguishing between items in a previous order and items in a subsequent order based on the order of the display target items in the preset arrangement of the plurality of selection items, the step of generating a third object for displaying information about the items in the previous order, and the step of generating a fourth object for displaying information about the items in the subsequent order.

[0018] In some embodiments, the method may further include generating an adjustment button that is displayed together with the initial option picker screen and determines the display target item in response to an input from the first purchaser. Here, the adjustment button may include a first adjustment button that determines a popular item among the plurality of selection items as the display target item. In another example, the adjustment button may include a second adjustment button that determines an item with the lowest unit among the plurality of selection items as the display target item.

[0030] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The advantages and features of the present disclosure, and methods for achieving them, will become clear with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the attached drawings. However, the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments and may be implemented in various different forms. The following embodiments are provided only to complete the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the present disclosure of the scope of the present disclosure, and the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure is defined only by the scope of the claims.

[0031] In describing various embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present disclosure, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, the terms (including technical and scientific terms) used in the following examples may be used with meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains; however, this may vary depending on the intentions of engineers working in the relevant field, precedents, the emergence of new technologies, etc. The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing the embodiments and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0033] In the following examples, singular expressions include plural concepts unless the context clearly specifies that they are singular. Furthermore, plural expressions include singular concepts unless the context clearly specifies that they are plural.

[0034] In addition, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. used in the following embodiments are only used to distinguish certain components from other components, and the nature, order, or sequence of the components are not limited by the terms.

[0035] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0036] The configuration and operation of an online commerce system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the online commerce system according to the present embodiment may include an online shopping service server (100) and a product information management system (200).

[0037] The seller terminal (210) used by the seller can access the product information management system (200) and register product information related to the product to be sold. The product information may include detailed information content about the product and purchase option information about the product. The product information management system (200) may provide the product information registered in the online shopping service server (100) periodically / aperiodically, or may provide product information of the requested product in response to a request from the online shopping service server (100). It goes without saying that the online shopping service server (100) may refer to the product information registered in the product information management system (200) by the seller terminal (210) when generating or retrieving data necessary to display a detailed information page about a product.

[0038] The online shopping service server (100) is a server that serves as the front-end of the online shopping service, and the online shopping service server (100) can transmit data of a detailed information page displayed on a purchaser terminal (110) to the purchaser terminal (110). Specifically, when the purchaser terminal (110) requests a detailed information page of a first product, the online shopping service server (100) can generate or retrieve data necessary for displaying a detailed information page for the first product, and transmit the data to the purchaser terminal (110) as a response to the detailed information page request for the first product. The detailed information page may include a product information screen and an option picker screen. The option picker screen is a screen that includes a user interface for selecting at least some of a plurality of selection items. The initial option picker screen is typically displayed together with the product information on a detailed information page that is displayed when a specific product for sale is selected from a screen listing a plurality of products for sale.

[0039] The data on the detailed information page of the above-mentioned product for sale may be configured in the form of a web document based on HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Accordingly, the data on the detailed information page may be rendered by a web browser installed on the purchaser's terminal (110) or a browsing module embedded in an application, thereby displaying the detailed information page through the display of the purchaser's terminal (110). In other words, the data on the detailed information page is the data that is the object of rendering, and is thus referred to as rendering data. The rendering data may be any HTML-based data that can be interpreted by a web browser or a browsing module embedded in an application.

[0040] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may generate the rendering data of the option picker screen, transmit the generated rendering data to the purchaser terminal (110), and the purchaser terminal (110) may render the option picker screen using the received rendering data, thereby causing the detailed information page to be displayed on the display of the purchaser terminal (110). In this case, it will be referred to as the online shopping service server (100) generating the option picker screen.

[0041] In addition, in some other embodiments, the buyer terminal (110) may perform at least part of the operation of generating the rendering data of the option picker screen using information such as a purchase option list for a purchase target received from the online shopping service server (100), and may display the option picker screen by rendering the completed rendering data. That is, the buyer terminal (110) may generate the entire rendering data of the option picker screen, or the buyer terminal (110) may finally complete the rendering data based on the rendering data of the incomplete option picker screen received from the online shopping service server (100). In this case, it will be referred to as the buyer terminal (110) generating the option picker screen.

[0042] That is, it should be understood that the technical idea according to the present disclosure may not specify the creator of the option picker screen as either the online shopping service server (100) or the purchaser terminal (110).

[0043] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may display a first object on the initial option picker screen, indicating the total number of selection items for options of the first attribute for the first product. The first object may include text, icons, etc. indicating the total number of selection items, and may be subject to preset graphic effects. For example, font, font size, font thickness, font slant, and kerning may be set according to preset attribute information, and a shading effect according to preset attribute information may be applied to the area where the first object is displayed. By applying such graphic effects, the buyer's attention may be focused.

[0044] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may adjust the display location of the first object. For example, the location may be adjusted so that the first object is displayed in the upper area of ​​the initial option picker screen. In another example, the location may be adjusted so that the first object is displayed within the display area of ​​the More button. In this case, the More button represents a button for displaying the remaining selection items that are not displayed on the initial option picker screen among multiple selection items.

[0045] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may determine display target items to be displayed on the initial option picker screen. To this end, the number of display target items may first be determined. For example, the number of display target items may be determined based on a predetermined maximum vertical length value of the initial option picker screen. In another example, the number of display target items may be determined based on the purchaser's selection history. Specifically, specific situations, such as when the purchaser selects the Show More button to check selection items that were not displayed on the initial option picker screen, or when the purchaser selects selection items that were not displayed on the initial option picker screen, may be extracted from the purchaser's selection history, and in such situations, the number of display target items may be determined based on the number of selection items displayed on the initial option picker screen.

[0046] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may determine a specific item among a plurality of selection items that satisfies a preset condition as a display target item. For example, the online shopping service server (100) may determine a popular item among a plurality of selection items as a display target item. In this case, the popular item may be determined using real-time sales information about the product. That is, the popular item may not be determined by the seller, but may be determined by the online shopping service server (100) or another sales information management system not shown in FIG. 1. The popular item may also be determined using near-real-time sales information about the product. That is, the popular item may be determined using sales information that is periodically aggregated.

[0047] In another example, the online shopping service server (100) may determine the item with the lowest unit or a previously selected item among multiple selections as the item to be displayed. In this case, the previously selected item may be a selection item that the buyer has previously selected for purchase of the product or a similar product.

[0048] In some embodiments, the online shopping service server (100) may create at least one second object to display information about the remaining selection items other than the displayed target item. In this case, the second object may include text that summarizes the names and prices of options corresponding to the remaining selection items.

[0049] Below, embodiments in which an option picker screen is provided on a purchaser terminal (110) will be described in detail.

[0050] Figure 2 illustrates an example of a product details page including an option picker screen according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The buyer terminal illustrated in the drawings below may be a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop PC, or desktop PC. However, for ease of understanding, the following description assumes that the buyer terminal is a smartphone, and the screen displaying the details page for the first product is the smartphone's screen.

[0051] As illustrated in FIG. 2, a detailed information page for a first product may be displayed on the screen (20) of the purchaser's terminal, and the detailed information page for the first product may include a product information screen (21) and an option picker screen (22). Here, the product information screen (21) may include an image of the product, summary information of the product (e.g., the manufacturer of the product, purchase rating of the product, name of the product, quantity, price, and delivery information, etc.).

[0052] The option picker screen (22) displays multiple selection items for the first attribute option for the first product. At this time, the multiple selection items are arranged vertically on the option picker screen. Since the maximum length of the initial option picker screen is limited to a preset value, only some of the multiple selection items may be displayed on the initial option picker screen. In this case, the purchaser can check selection items not displayed on the initial option picker screen through the Show More Options button (23). In addition, the initial option picker screen may display an object (24a) indicating information on the total number of selectable selection items.

[0053] In the case of Fig. 2, the first product is natural pulp roll toilet paper, and the total number of selectable selection items for the product is 10. Since the maximum length of the option picker screen is limited, 4 selection items ('1 pack', '2 packs', '3 packs', '4 packs') out of the total 10 selection items are displayed in a selectable form on the option picker screen, and the remaining selection items can be displayed by selecting the More Options button (23). At this time, an object (24a) indicating information on the total number of selection items including selection items that cannot be displayed on the option picker screen can be displayed within the display area of ​​the More Options button (23).

[0054] The location where the object indicating the number of total selection items is displayed can be changed. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, an object (24b) indicating the number of total selection items may be displayed at the top of the option picker screen, i.e., immediately above the area where selection items are arranged. After the detailed information page is displayed, the buyer's gaze will naturally flow from top to bottom, and in this case, information regarding the number of total selection items will be the first thing that catches the eye. Accordingly, the buyer will check the selection items arranged on the option picker screen while being aware of the total number of selection items. Even if the selection item of interest is not displayed on the initial option picker screen, the buyer will understand that there are selection items that were not displayed on the initial option picker screen, and will select the Show More Options button to check the selection items that were not displayed on the initial option picker screen.

[0055] Other embodiments of the option picker screen will be examined in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 below.

[0056] FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams illustrating option picker screens that may be displayed on a purchaser terminal in some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0057] Figure 4 illustrates an option picker screen when there are 10 selection items for the first attribute option. As described with reference to Figure 2, only some of the multiple selection items may be displayed on the initial option picker screen. In this case, an object (i.e., a second object) (42) may be displayed that displays information about the remaining selection items that were not displayed on the initial option picker screen.

[0058] In Fig. 4, among the total of 10 selection items, 3 selection items ('1 pack', '2 packs', '3 packs') are displayed as display target items (41) and are displayed in a vertical direction in a selectable form in order, and the remaining selection items ('4 packs' to '10 packs') can be displayed by selecting the second object (42). When the second object (42) is selected, a screen in which the remaining selection items are arranged can be displayed, and the purchaser can select one of the remaining selection items on the screen. At this time, the second object (42) can include summary information on the options and prices corresponding to each of the remaining selection items. Specifically, the second object (42) can include text indicating the range of options corresponding to the remaining selection items (4 packs to 10 packs) and text indicating the range of prices (KRW 45,000 to 100,000). That is, the second object can perform the function of visually providing information on the remaining selection items and simultaneously displaying the remaining selection items according to user input.

[0059] In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4, an example was described in which, on the initial option picker screen, the display target items are first arranged in order, and a second object for the remaining selection items is displayed at the bottom. However, the arrangement / display order of the display target items and the second objects, as well as the number of second objects, may vary. In other words, multiple objects may be created to display information for at least two or more selection items. This will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0060] In FIG. 5, one selection item ('3 packs') among a total of 10 selection items is displayed as a display target item (42), and an option picker screen is illustrated in which an object (52a) for displaying information of the selection items '1 pack' and '2 packs' and an object (52b) for displaying information of the selection items '4 packs' to '10 packs' are displayed. Specifically, when the selection item '3 packs' is determined as the display target item while the selection item of '3 packs' is arranged in ascending order, the items in the previous order ('1 pack' and '2 packs') and the items in the subsequent order ('4 packs' to '10 packs') can be distinguished based on the selection item of '3 packs', and an object for displaying information on the items in the previous order and an object for displaying information on the items in the subsequent order can be created and displayed, respectively.

[0061] Next, the following description is provided with reference to Fig. 6.

[0062] In Fig. 6, the form in which the display target items and the second object are displayed is the same as the option picker screen described with reference to Fig. 4, but it differs from the previous examples in that an adjustment button is additionally created in the lower area of ​​the option picker screen. Specifically, the adjustment button may perform the function of determining the display target items in response to the buyer's input and adjusting the arrangement of the remaining selection items based on the determined display target items. At this time, the adjustment button may include a first adjustment button (63a) that determines a popular item as a display target item, a second adjustment button (63b) that determines an item with the lowest unit as a display target item, and a third adjustment button (63c) that determines a previously purchased item as a display target item.

[0063] In Fig. 6, when the first adjustment button (63a) is selected, a popular item ('3 pack') among multiple selection items is determined as a display target item (61), and the selection items in the previous order based on the display target item (61) can be displayed as a single object (62a). In addition, the selection items in the subsequent order can be displayed as one or more objects (62b, 62c). With this configuration, the purchaser can easily check and select popular items on the option picker screen.

[0064] Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the online commerce system according to the present embodiment have been described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 6. The operation method of the online shopping service server (100) and the product information management system (200) of the online commerce system of the present disclosure will be understood in more detail with reference to other embodiments described below. Furthermore, the technical concepts that can be understood through the above-described embodiments of the processing system according to the present embodiment may be reflected in other embodiments described below, even if not specifically stated.

[0065] In addition, with regard to the configuration of the online shopping service server (100) and the purchaser terminal (110) described above, reference may be made to the hardware configuration of FIG. 9, which will be described later. That is, the online shopping service server (100) and the purchaser terminal (110) may have the hardware configuration described with reference to FIG. 9. Furthermore, the technical concepts that can be understood through several embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be applied to the online commerce system described above, even without separate description.

[0066] Next, a method for providing an option picker screen according to other embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 . The method for providing an option picker screen according to the present embodiment may be performed by one or more computing systems. Furthermore, the method for providing an option picker screen according to the present embodiment may be performed in part by a first computing device, and in part by a second computing device. For example, some operations of the method for providing an option picker screen according to the present embodiment may be performed in part by an on-premise physical server, and in part by a cloud compute instance. Hereinafter, if the entity performing each operation is omitted, it will be understood that the entity performing the operation is the computing device. Furthermore, it should be noted that the online commerce system-related embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 can be naturally applied to the method for providing option selection guide information according to the present embodiment, even without separate mention.

[0067] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process for configuring an option picker screen included in a detailed information page for a first product among multiple sales targets registered in the above-described online commerce system.

[0068] In step S100, purchase option information for the first product may be obtained. Here, the purchase option information may include information on multiple selection items for options of the first attribute for the first product.

[0069] In step S200, an initial option picker screen may be generated for selecting one of a plurality of selection items. As described above, since the maximum length of the initial option picker screen is limited to a predetermined value, only a portion of the plurality of selection items may be displayed on the initial option picker screen. In this case, a More button may be generated to display the remaining selection items excluding the display-option items displayed on the initial option picker screen. When a user input selecting the More button is received, information about the remaining selection items may be displayed.

[0070] Next, in step S300, a first object indicating information about the total number of the plurality of selection items may be displayed on the initial option picker screen. The first object may include text indicating the total number of the plurality of selection items. In one embodiment, the first object may be displayed within the display area of ​​the More button. Alternatively, the first object may be displayed in a portion of the top area of ​​the initial option picker screen. That is, an option picker screen similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 will be displayed on the purchaser terminal.

[0071] Next, the following description is provided with reference to Fig. 9.

[0072] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method for providing an option picker screen according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] In step S100, purchase option information for a first product for which information provision has been requested by a first purchaser may be obtained. Here, the purchase option information may include information on multiple selection items for options of a first attribute of the first product.

[0074] In step S210, among a plurality of selection items, display target items to be displayed on the initial option picker screen may be determined. Specifically, the number of display target items may be determined, and display target items may be determined corresponding to the determined number. At this time, the number of display target items may be determined based on a predetermined maximum vertical length value of the initial option picker screen. Alternatively, the number may be determined based on the selection history of the first purchaser. In one embodiment, the display target items may include at least one of a popular item, an item with the lowest unit price, and a previously purchased item.

[0075] In step S310, a second object may be created to display information about the remaining selection items other than the display target items. Here, the second object may include summary information about the names and prices of options corresponding to the remaining selection items. In some embodiments, the remaining selection items may be divided into items in a previous order and items in a subsequent order based on the order of the display target items in a preset arrangement of multiple selection items. In this case, a third object may be created to display information about the items in the previous order, and a fourth object may be created to display information about the items in the subsequent order. In other words, the second object may include multiple objects.

[0076] In some embodiments, adjustment buttons may be created to determine or change the display target items in response to the input of the first purchaser (S400). For example, a first adjustment button may be created to determine a popular item as the display target item among multiple selections. In another example, a second adjustment button may be created to determine the item with the lowest unit among multiple selections as the display target item. In yet another example, a third adjustment button may be created to determine a previously purchased item as the display target item based on the first purchaser's previous purchase history.

[0077] Thereafter, an option picker screen as described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 will be displayed on the purchaser terminal.

[0078] FIG. 9 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computing device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
