[0044] Figure 1 illustrates a system according to one embodiment.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 1, the system may include at least one of an electronic device (100), a user terminal (120), an administrator terminal (140), a database (160), and a network (180). Meanwhile, the system illustrated in FIG. 1 only illustrates components related to the present embodiment. Therefore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in addition to the components illustrated in FIG. 1, other general-purpose components may be included.

[0046] An electronic device (100) is a device that configures and provides various information. The electronic device (100) may provide the configured information as a web page or application screen, or may provide the information in a form that can be displayed as a web page or application screen on a receiving terminal.

[0047] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) may provide information on a set of items that the user is likely to purchase together, determined based on the user's purchase history. For example, the electronic device (100) may check information on a plurality of items purchased by the user during a set first period, and, based on the information on the plurality of items, check at least one of the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the categories of the plurality of items, the purchase prices of the plurality of items, and the purchase times of the plurality of items during the set first period. Thereafter, the electronic device (100) may determine a first set of items including one or more items among the plurality of items, based on at least one of the information on the number of purchases of the plurality of items during the set first period, the information on the categories of the plurality of items, the information on the purchase prices of the plurality of items, and the information on the purchase times of the plurality of items, and may provide a first page including information on the first set of items.

[0048] The user terminal (120) is a terminal used by each user, and users can access services provided by the network (180) using their respective terminals (120). For example, the electronic device (100) may provide the user terminal (120) with an application for providing information related to ordering various items. Users can use the application installed on their respective terminals (120) to check and order items corresponding to searched keywords. In this case, the user may correspond to the customer who ordered the delivery of the item.

[0049] The administrator terminal (140) is a terminal used by the administrator, and the administrator can access services provided by the network (180) using their respective terminals (140). For example, the administrator can use their respective terminals (140) to set a period of time that serves as a criterion for determining a set of items to be provided to the user. Alternatively, the administrator can use their respective terminals (140) to set at least one of the number of purchases of an item, the category of an item, the purchase price of an item, or the purchase time of an item as a criterion for determining a set of items.

[0050] The database (160) is a data structure implemented in a predetermined storage space, and may include a relational database such as MySQL, Oracle, Mssql, a non-relational database such as Redis, MongoDB, CouchDB, an open source search engine such as Elasticsearch, and a combination thereof.

[0051] According to one embodiment, the database (160) may store information regarding a user's purchase history. For example, the database (160) may store information regarding the number of purchases of items by the user during a set period, information regarding the purchase price of an item, or information regarding the purchase time of an item. While FIG. 1 illustrates the database (160) as existing outside the electronic device (100), this is merely an embodiment, and the database (160) may be included in the electronic device (100).

[0052] The user terminal (120), the administrator terminal (140), the database (160), and the electronic device (100) can communicate with each other within the network (180). The network (180) includes a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Value Added Network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, and a combination thereof, and is a comprehensive data communication network that allows each network component illustrated in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and a mobile radio communication network. Wireless communication may include, but is not limited to, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, Zigbee, Wi-Fi Direct (WFD), ultra-wideband (UWB), infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., for example.

[0053] FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a process in which an electronic device (100) provides information about an item set according to one embodiment.

[0054] In step S200, the electronic device (100) may receive a request for a first page from the user terminal (120) according to an embodiment. For example, the user terminal (120) may transmit a request for a homepage of a gateway domain to the electronic device (100) based on a user input activating an application. Alternatively, the user terminal (120) may transmit a request for a payment page to the electronic device (100) based on a user input selecting a payment icon. However, the first page is not limited to the examples described above, and may include a search result page (SRP), a single detail page (SDP), or a cart page.

[0055] In step S210, the electronic device (100) may obtain information about a plurality of items purchased by the user during a first period set according to an embodiment from the database (160). More specifically, the electronic device (100) may confirm the first period set as a criterion for determining an item set, and may confirm information about a plurality of items purchased by the user during the first period from the database (160).

[0056] For example, the electronic device (100) may confirm that the first period is preset to 60 days or that the first period has been changed to 60 days based on input from a user or administrator. Thereafter, the electronic device (100) may check the database (160) for information regarding multiple items purchased by the user within 60 days from the current time.

[0057] For another example, the electronic device (100) may determine that the first period is set to the entire period during which the user used the application. Thereafter, the electronic device (100) may check the database (160) for information regarding multiple items purchased by the user during the entire period during which the user used the application.

[0058] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) may change a first period set as a criterion for determining an item set based on information regarding the number of multiple items. More specifically, if the number of items purchased by the user during the set first period is below a set threshold, the first period may be extended by a set second period, and information regarding items purchased by the user during the extended first period may be checked in the database (160).

[0059] For example, if the number of items purchased by the user over a 60-day period is less than the threshold of 10, the electronic device (100) may extend the first period by 30 days, which is set as the second period. Thereafter, the electronic device (100) may check information about items purchased by the user over a 90-day period in the database (160). The electronic device (100) may repeatedly perform the task of extending the first period by the second period until the number of items purchased by the user exceeds the threshold.

[0060] In this way, by adaptively changing the period set as a criterion for determining the item set until the electronic device (100) has sufficient information about the items purchased by the user, the item set can be determined by appropriately reflecting the user's purchasing pattern or tendency.

[0061] In step S220, the electronic device (100) may, according to an embodiment, check the number of purchases of the plurality of items during a set first period, the purchase cycle of the plurality of items, the categories of the plurality of items, the purchase prices of the plurality of items, or the purchase times of the plurality of items based on information about the plurality of items. For example, the electronic device (100) may check the number of times the user purchased the plurality of items during 60 days, the cycle in which the user purchased the plurality of items during 60 days, the categories of the plurality of items, the prices at which the user purchased the plurality of items, or the times at which the user purchased the plurality of items based on information about the plurality of items.

[0062] In step S230, the electronic device (100) may determine a first item set including one or more items among the plurality of items based on at least one of information about the number of purchases of the plurality of items during a first period set according to an embodiment, information about a purchase cycle of the plurality of items, information about a category of the plurality of items, information about a purchase price of the plurality of items, and information about a purchase time of the plurality of items.

[0063] For example, based on information regarding the number of purchases of a plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may identify one or more items among the plurality of items that the user has purchased five times over 60 days, and determine a first item set including the one or more items. In this manner, based on information regarding the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may determine a plurality of item sets that the user has purchased more than five times over 60 days.

[0064] For another example, based on information regarding the purchase cycles of a plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may identify one or more items among the plurality of items whose purchase cycle is 7 days or less within a 60-day period, and determine a first item set including the one or more items. In this manner, based on information regarding the purchase cycles of the plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may determine a plurality of sets of items whose purchase cycles by the user within a 60-day period are less than or equal to a value other than 7 days.

[0065] For another example, the electronic device (100) may identify items belonging to the daily necessities category among the plurality of items based on information regarding the categories of the plurality of items. Thereafter, the electronic device (100) may identify one or more items belonging to the daily necessities category that have been purchased three or more times based on information regarding the number of purchases of the plurality of items, and determine a first item set including the one or more items. In this manner, the electronic device (100) may determine a plurality of item sets belonging to categories other than the daily necessities category based on information regarding the categories of the plurality of items and information regarding the number of purchases of the plurality of items.

[0066] For another example, based on information regarding the purchase prices of a plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may identify items among the plurality of items whose current prices are 90% or less than the purchase prices. Thereafter, based on information regarding the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may identify one or more items among the items whose current prices are 90% or less than the purchase prices and whose number of purchases is three or more, and determine a first item set including the one or more items.

[0067] For another example, the electronic device (100) may, based on information about the purchase times of the plurality of items, identify items whose purchase times fall between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM among the plurality of items. Thereafter, based on information about the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the electronic device (100) may identify one or more items whose purchase times fall between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM and whose purchase times fall four or more times among the items, and determine a first item set including the one or more items. In this manner, the electronic device (100) may, based on information about the purchase times of the plurality of items and information about the number of purchases of the plurality of items, determine a plurality of item sets whose purchase times fall outside the time period between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

[0068] In step S240, the electronic device (100) may transmit information about a first page including information about a first set of items to the user terminal (120) according to one embodiment. For example, the electronic device (100) may transmit information about a first page configured to display information about a first set of items in a form that can be displayed as a web page or an application screen, to the user terminal (120).

[0069] In step S250, the user terminal (120) may provide a first page to the user according to an embodiment. More specifically, the user terminal (120) may display a first page including information regarding a first set of items on the display based on information received from the electronic device (100).

[0070] For example, if a first set of items is determined based on information about the number of purchases of multiple items, the user terminal (120) may display a first page including at least one of information indicating that the first set of items was determined based on the user's purchase history for 60 days, information indicating that the user purchased one or more items five times over the 60 days, information about the price of each of one or more items, and information about the total price of one or more items.

[0071] For another example, if a first set of items is determined based on information about a purchase cycle of a plurality of items, the user terminal (120) may display a first page including at least one of information indicating that the first set of items is determined based on the user's purchase history for 60 days, information indicating that the cycle in which the user purchased one or more items during the 60 days is within 7 days, information regarding the price of each of one or more items, and information regarding the total price of one or more items.

[0072] For another example, if a first set of items is determined based on information about categories of a plurality of items and information about the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the user terminal (120) may display a first page including at least one of information about determining the first set of items based on the user's purchase history for 60 days, information about the number of times each of one or more items was purchased, information about a category of daily necessities to which one or more items belong, information about the price of each of one or more items, and information about the sum total of the prices of one or more items.

[0073] For another example, if a first set of items is determined based on information about the purchase times of a plurality of items and information about the number of purchases of a plurality of items, the user terminal (120) may display a first page including at least one of information indicating that the first set of items was determined based on the user's purchase history for 60 days, information about the number of times each of one or more items was purchased, information indicating that the time of purchase of one or more items was between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM, information about the price of each of one or more items, and information about the sum total of the prices of one or more items.

[0074] According to one embodiment, the user terminal (120) may display a plurality of item sets based on setting information regarding the display order received from the electronic device (100). More specifically, the electronic device (100) may determine the display order of the plurality of item sets in different ways according to a criterion for determining the plurality of item sets, and the user terminal may display the plurality of item sets based on the determined order.

[0075] For example, if multiple sets of items are determined based on information about the number of purchases of multiple items, the user terminal (120) can first display the set of items with the highest number of corresponding purchases.

[0076] For another example, if multiple sets of items are determined based on information about the purchase cycles of multiple items, the user terminal (120) may first display a set of items with a corresponding shorter purchase cycle.

[0077] For another example, when a plurality of item sets are determined based on information about categories of a plurality of items and information about the number of purchases of the plurality of items, the user terminal (120) may first display an item set having a high corresponding score. At this time, the score of each of the plurality of item sets may be determined based on at least one of a first factor regarding an average number of purchases of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a second factor regarding an average of current prices of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a third factor regarding an average of sales of items included in each of the plurality of item sets during a set first period, a fourth factor regarding an average of discount rates corresponding to items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a fifth factor regarding an average of ratings of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, and a sixth factor regarding the number of items included in each of the plurality of item sets. In addition, the higher the average number of purchases of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, the lower the average of current prices of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, the higher the average sales volume of items included in each of the plurality of item sets during the set first period, the higher the average discount rate corresponding to items included in each of the plurality of item sets, the higher the average rating of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, or the greater the number of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, the higher the scores may be given to the plurality of item sets.

[0078] For another example, if multiple sets of items are determined based on information about the purchase times of multiple items and information about the number of purchases of multiple items, the user terminal (120) can first display the set of items whose corresponding time zone is closest to the current time.

[0079] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (100) may determine a score of each of the plurality of item sets by applying different weights to a first factor regarding an average number of purchases of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a second factor regarding an average of current prices of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a third factor regarding an average of sales of items included in each of the plurality of item sets during a set first period, a fourth factor regarding an average of discount rates corresponding to items included in each of the plurality of item sets, a fifth factor regarding an average of ratings of items included in each of the plurality of item sets, and a sixth factor regarding the number of items included in each of the plurality of item sets. In this case, each weight may be determined based on a purchase history of a user on a first page.

[0080] For example, if it is confirmed that the user has a history of purchasing a set of items with a high average number of purchases on the first page, the electronic device (100) can determine the score of each of the plurality of sets of items by assigning a higher weight to the first factor regarding the average number of purchases of the items.
