[0055] Steps S520 to S540 may be substantially identical to steps S320 to S330 of FIG. 3.

[0056] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a server device (110) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. In various embodiments, a memory (212) stores instructions to be executed by a processor (211), and the processor (211) can perform the following operation method by executing the instructions.

[0057] At step S610, the processor (211) may obtain a request to create a packaging option and product weight information. In various embodiments, the option list information may further include information indicating weight limits for one or more packaging options. The creation request may further include information indicating a first packaging option to be newly added to the option list information and information indicating a first weight limit to be applied to the first packaging option. However, the information indicating the first weight limit may not necessarily be included in the creation request.

[0058] The memory (212) can store product weight information indicating the weight of one or more products. The processor (211) can obtain product weight information regarding the weight of one or more products from the memory (212).

[0059] At step S620, the processor (211) may determine whether the generation request includes information about a weight limit to be applied to the first packaging option.

[0060] At step S630, the processor (211) may generate a packaging option having a weight limit based on the generation request. If the generation request includes information about a weight limit to be applied to the first packaging option, the processor (211) may generate a first packaging option having the first weight limit as the weight limit. If the generation request does not include information about a weight limit to be applied to the first packaging option, the processor (211) may generate a first packaging option having the second weight limit as the weight limit. The second weight limit may be unrelated to the generation request and may be, for example, a weight limit set as a default value in option list information stored in the memory (212).

[0061] At step S640, the processor (211) may determine a recommended packaging method by selecting a packaging option based on weight information of one or more products. The processor (211) may determine whether the weight of one or more products is less than the weight limit of the packaging option based on the weight information of one or more products.

[0062] For example, it may be determined whether a first weight limit and a second weight limit are met. Based on a determination that the weight of one or more products meets the first weight limit, the processor (211) may determine a first packaging option as the packaging method for one or more products. Based on a determination that the weight of one or more products does not meet the first weight limit but meets the second weight limit, the processor (211) may determine a second packaging option having a second weight limit as the packaging method for one or more products.

[0063] In various embodiments, the processor (211) may determine whether to package one or more products together in a single package based on product weight information. Based on the product weight information and packaging options, the processor may determine whether the weight of one or more products falls below the weight limit of the packaging options.

[0064] In one example, the processor (211) may determine, as a recommended packaging method, a packaging method that packages one or more products together in one packaging according to the first packaging option, based on a determination that the weight of one or more products is less than the first weight limit of the first packaging option.

[0065] In one example, one or more products may include a first product and a second product, and product weight information may include first product weight information indicating information about the weight of the first product and second product weight information indicating information about the weight of the second product. The processor (211) may calculate the total weight of the first product and the second product based on the first product weight information and the second product weight information. The processor (211) may determine whether the total weight of the first product and the second product satisfies a first weight limit and a second weight limit. Based on a determination that the total weight of the first product and the second product satisfies the first weight limit, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method such that the first product and the second product are packaged together in a single package using the first packaging option. Upon determining that the total weight of the first product and the second product does not meet the first weight limit but meets the second weight limit, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method such that the first product and the second product are packaged together in one packaging bag using the second packaging option.

[0066] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first to third packaging options. The option list information may include information on the first to third packaging options (OP1 to OP3). In one example, the first packaging option (OP1) is a packaging option newly added to the option list information by a generation request in step S630 of FIG. 6, and the second packaging option (OP2) and the third packaging option are packaging options previously included in the option list information.

[0067] The first packaging option (OP1) may be a packaging method using the first plastic bag category, the second packaging option (OP2) may be a packaging method using the second plastic bag category, and the third packaging option may be a packaging method using the paper box category.

[0068] The first packaging option (OP1) has a first weight limit for packaging goods weighing no more than 4 kg, the second packaging option (OP2) has a second weight limit for packaging goods weighing no more than 10 kg, and the third packaging option (OP3) has a third weight limit for packaging goods weighing no more than 15 kg.

[0069] The processor (211) can determine a packaging method among at least one packaging option based on product weight information of at least one product.

[0070] In one embodiment, upon determining that a product satisfies multiple weight limits of multiple packaging options, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method using the packaging option added by the generation request. In one example, upon determining that a product weighs less than 4 kg, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method such that the product is packaged using the first packaging option (OP1).

[0071] In another embodiment, upon determining that a product satisfies multiple weight restrictions of multiple packaging options, the processor (211) may set the packaging option added by the generation request to be selected in a lower priority relative to at least one packaging option included in the existing option list information. In one example, upon determining that a product weighs less than or equal to 4 kg, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method such that the product is packaged using a second packaging option (OP2) or a third packaging option (OP3) rather than the first packaging option (OP1).

[0072] Similarly, in various embodiments, the generation request may include ranking information regarding weight constraints of packaging options. The processor (211) may be configured to determine the ranking in which packaging options included in the generation request are selected relative to other packaging options based on the ranking information.

[0073] FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a server device (110) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. In various embodiments, a memory (212) stores instructions to be executed by a processor (211), and the processor (211) can perform the following operation method by executing the instructions.

[0074] At step S810, the processor (211) may obtain a request to create a packaging option and product risk information. In various embodiments, the option list information may further include information indicating the degree of delivery stability of one or more packaging options. The creation request may further include information indicating a first packaging option to be newly added to the option list information and information indicating the delivery stability of the first packaging option. However, the information indicating delivery stability may not necessarily be included in the creation request.

[0075] The memory (212) can store damage information indicating the damage index of one or more products. The damage index of a product may be determined based on the degree to which the product is susceptible to damage during delivery. For example, if the damage index of a first product is greater than that of a second product, this may indicate that the first product is more likely to be damaged than the second product during the same delivery process.

[0076] The processor (211) can obtain damage information on the damage index of one or more products from the memory (212).

[0077] At step S820, the processor (211) can determine whether the damage index of one or more products exceeds a threshold value.

[0078] In steps S830 and S840, the processor (211) may select a packaging option based on the damage index of one or more products. In step S830, if it is determined that the damage index of one or more products is higher than a threshold, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method for one or more products using the first packaging option. In step S840, if it is determined that the damage index of one or more products is lower than the threshold, the processor (211) may determine a packaging method for one or more products using the first packaging option. For example, the stability level of the first packaging option may be higher than the stability level of the second packaging option.

[0079] In the flowcharts according to the present disclosure, each step of the method or algorithm is described in a sequential order. However, in addition to being performed sequentially, each step may be performed in any order that can be arbitrarily combined according to the present disclosure.
