The advantages and features of the present disclosure and the methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described below in detail together with the attached drawings. However, the technical concept of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments but can be implemented in various different forms. The following embodiments are provided merely to complete the technical concept of the present disclosure and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the present disclosure, and the technical concept of the present disclosure is defined only by the scope of the claims.
[0031] In describing the various embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known configurations or functions could obscure the essence of the present disclosure, such detailed description is omitted.
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, terms used in the following embodiments (including technical and scientific terms) may be used in a meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains, but this may vary depending on the intent of those skilled in the art, case law, the emergence of new technology, etc. The terms used in this disclosure are for describing the embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.
[0033] In the following embodiments, singular expressions include plural concepts unless the context clearly specifies them as singular. Additionally, plural expressions include singular concepts unless the context clearly specifies them as plural.
[0034] In addition, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. used in the following embodiments are used merely to distinguish one component from another, and the essence, order, or sequence of the said component is not limited by such terms.
[0035] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0036] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an overall system in which a mission information provision method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, the entire system in which a mission information providing method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed may be configured to include a mission information providing system (100), and in some embodiments may further include a user terminal (200). Meanwhile, although FIG. 1 is illustrated as having the mission information providing system (100) separated from the user terminal (200) for convenience of explanation, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that at least some of the configuration and / or functions of the mission information providing system (100) may be implemented within the user terminal (200).
[0038] The mission information providing system (100) may be a device / system that stores and manages information regarding at least one mission and provides the mission information managed by the mission information providing system (100) to a user terminal (200). Here, the mission may refer to a task to provide the user (i.e., the delivery person) with an opportunity to obtain additional rewards in performing delivery or shipping tasks for a request to order food or items.
[0039] In some embodiments, the mission information provided by the mission information providing system (100) may include information regarding a first mission representing a conditional mission that requires the occurrence of a specific event within a specific time. Specifically, the first mission may include a first condition that requires the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start time of the validity period of the first mission. At this time, the validity period of the first mission (which may refer to a limited time range in which the first mission can be performed) is that the first mission can be successfully performed only within the validity period, and if the validity period expires, the first mission fails or becomes invalid. Additionally, a preset event may be the reception of an input accepting a delivery for an order request from the user terminal (200). That is, the first mission can proceed validly only if an input accepting the delivery is received within a preset time from the start time of the validity period of the first mission, and if an input accepting the delivery is not received within a preset time from the start time of the validity period of the first mission, the first mission may be treated as a failure. Depending on the case, the first mission may be referred to or named as the 'first acceptance condition mission', 'basic mission', 'main mission', 'conditional mission', etc. Meanwhile, the time condition associated with the first mission (i.e., the validity period of the first mission and / or the preset time) may be determined based on past delivery demand and supply conditions according to the time zone of the region associated with the location of the user terminal.
[0040] In some embodiments, the mission information provided by the mission information providing system (100) may include information regarding a second mission that provides additional rewards based on the achievement rate or progress rate of the first mission. Specifically, the second mission may include a second condition requiring the first mission to be achieved above a preset level. For example, the second condition may require that the ratio of orders accepted / completed for delivery to total orders within the validity period of the first mission be 70% or higher. Additionally, since the second mission is dependent on the first mission, the success of the second mission may be determined based on the success of the first mission. Specifically, if the first mission is successful, the success of the second mission may be determined based on whether the second condition is achieved, and if the first mission fails, the second mission may be determined as a failure regardless of whether the second condition is achieved, and the success of the second mission may not affect the success of the first mission. Meanwhile, the first mission is not limited to the first mission that includes the first condition described above. In other words, the second mission may refer to a mission that is dependent on another type of mission that does not include the first condition. Depending on the case, the second mission may be referred to or named as an 'additional mission,' 'sub-mission,' 'dependent mission,' 'additional bonus mission,' etc.
[0041] In some embodiments, the mission information providing system (100) may obtain information regarding a first mission associated with a user of the user terminal (200), and may determine the status of the first mission using information regarding the validity period of the first mission and information regarding the current time. Additionally, based on the determined status of the first mission, the display form of at least one interface element representing information regarding the first mission may be determined, and a first screen including at least one interface element of the determined display form may be provided to the user terminal (200). At this time, the information regarding the first mission may include information regarding a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start of the validity period. A detailed explanation regarding this will be provided later.
[0042] In some embodiments, the mission information providing system (100) may obtain a user's selection input for at least a portion of an area displaying information about a first mission, and in response to the selection input, may generate a second screen containing detailed information about the first mission and provide the second screen to the user's user terminal (200). Here, the detailed information about the first mission may include information about a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start time of the validity period of the first mission, and the format of the second screen may be determined according to the status information of the first mission. A detailed explanation regarding this will be provided later.
[0043] Meanwhile, the mission information providing system (100) described above may be implemented with at least one computing device. For example, all functions of the mission information providing system (100) may be implemented in a single computing device, or the first function of the mission information providing system (100) may be implemented in a first computing device and the second function may be implemented in a second computing device. Alternatively, specific functions of the mission information providing system (100) may be implemented in multiple computing devices.
[0044] A computing device may include any device equipped with computing functions, and for an example of such a device, refer to FIG. 12. Since a computing device is a collection of various components (e.g., memory, processor, etc.) that interact, it may be referred to as a 'computing system' depending on the case. Additionally, a computing system may refer to a collection of multiple computing devices that interact.
[0045] The user terminal (200) may be a computing device used by a user (e.g., a worker or delivery person performing a delivery task) to perform a delivery task. In some embodiments, the user may check mission information provided by the mission information provision system (100) through the user terminal (200). For example, the user may check a first screen containing information about a first mission through the user terminal (200). In another example, the user may check a second screen containing detailed information about the first mission through the user terminal (200). The user terminal (200) may be implemented as various types of computing devices such as a smartphone, a laptop, a desktop, etc., and reference should be made to FIG. 12 for an example of such a computing device. In some cases, the user terminal (200) may be referred to or named as a 'worker terminal', 'delivery person terminal', etc.
[0046] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the mission information providing system (100) and the user terminal (200) can communicate through a network. Here, the network can be implemented as any type of wired or wireless network, such as a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a mobile radio communication network, or Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet).
[0047] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9, a specific method for providing mission information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described through a user interface displayed on a user terminal (200). For example, the user interface may be a screen displayed on an application or web browser running on the user terminal (200).
[0048] FIGS. 2 through 7 illustrate, in an exemplary manner, a first screen and a second screen provided to a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Here, the first screen may refer to a screen containing information regarding at least one mission associated with the user (i.e., mission(s) currently being performed by the user or mission(s) that the user can perform). The second screen may refer to a screen containing detailed information regarding any one of the at least one mission included in the first screen. Hereinafter, the description will be made assuming that at least one mission associated with the user includes a first mission comprising a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start of a valid time, and a second mission comprising a second condition requiring the achievement of the first mission above a preset level. In other words, the description will focus on the method of providing information regarding the first mission and information regarding the second mission associated with the first mission.
[0049] FIG. 2 illustrates, for example, a first screen (2a) and a second screen (2b) when the state of the first mission is a first state indicating a mission scheduled to proceed (i.e., when the current time is before the valid time of the first mission).
[0050] First, the first screen (2a) is described.
[0051] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the first screen (2a) may include a first area (section #1) displaying information about a scheduled mission or a waiting mission, and a second area (section #2) displaying information about today's mission or a currently ongoing mission. If the current time is before the valid time of the first mission, the state of the first mission may be determined as a first state indicating a mission scheduled to proceed, and in this case, at least one interface element indicating information about the first mission and at least one interface element (20) indicating information about a second mission associated with the first mission may be displayed in the first area.
[0052] At least one interface element representing information about the first mission may include an interface element that displays information about the target number of deliveries (e.g., '10 deliveries'), information about the first condition (e.g., 'first acceptance required by 16:50'), valid time information (e.g., 'Tomorrow|16:30~19:30'), and reward information (e.g., '10,000 won') as text. Here, the information about the first condition may include information indicating the end time of a preset time (e.g., 'by 16:50') and information about a preset event (e.g., 'first acceptance'). Additionally, the interface element representing information about the first mission may include an interface element (e.g., a gauge icon) that visually displays the status information of the first mission (e.g., 'scheduled').
[0053] The display form of at least one interface element representing information about the second mission can be determined based on the display form of at least one interface element representing information about the first mission. In other words, the display form of at least one interface element representing information about the first mission can be determined based on the state of the first mission, and the display form of at least one interface element representing information about the second mission can be determined based on the display form of at least one interface element representing information about the first mission. Specifically, at least one interface element representing information about the second mission can be displayed in the lower area of the region where at least one interface element representing information about the first mission is displayed.
[0054] At least one interface element representing information about the second mission may include an interface element that displays information about a second condition requiring the first mission to be achieved above a preset level (e.g., '70% acceptance / completion rate during mission') and reward information (e.g., '+70,000 won') in text form. In this case, the reward information for the second mission may include a marker (e.g., '+') indicating that it is additionally provided upon the success of the first mission. At least one interface element representing information about the second mission may include an interface element (e.g., a gauge icon) that visually displays the status information of the second mission (e.g., '100%'), and the interface element that visually displays the status information of the second mission may be in a form that visually indicates that the second mission is in a dependent relationship with the first mission. For example, the gauge icon of the second mission may be displayed in a smaller size than the gauge icon of the first mission and may be displayed in a form connected to the gauge icon of the first mission.
[0055] Next, the second screen (2b) will be described.
[0056] As illustrated in FIG. 2, in response to a user obtaining an input through a user terminal (200) to select an area of a region representing information about a first mission on a first screen (2a), a second screen (2b) may be provided, which includes detailed information about a first mission and detailed information about a second mission.
[0057] Detailed information (21) of the first mission may be displayed in one area of the second screen (2b), and detailed information (22) of the second mission may be displayed in the area immediately below it. The detailed information (21) of the first mission and the detailed information (22) of the second mission may include information on the type of mission (e.g., 'daily mission', 'additional mission'), information on the target number of orders (e.g., 'when 10 orders are delivered', 'acceptance / completion rate of 70% or more during the mission'), information on rewards upon success (e.g., '10,000 won bonus', '7,000 won bonus additional'), and information on the date and time of payment of rewards upon success (e.g., 'payment on the next settlement date'). The detailed information (22) of the second mission may further include additional information regarding the target number of orders (e.g., 'ratio of completed orders to total orders during the mission period (decrease when orders are rejected / ignored / canceled)').
[0058] In the lower area of the area where the detailed information (22) of the second mission is displayed, the time condition information (23) of the first mission may be displayed, such as the first mission start date information (e.g., '02.21 (Mon)'), the first condition information (e.g., 'first order acceptance required by 16:50'), and the validity period information (e.g., 'during 16:30 to 19:30'). Additionally, at the bottom of the second screen (2b), the remaining time information (24) until the start of the first mission (e.g., '3 days remaining until mission start') may be further displayed.
[0059] FIG. 3 illustrates, by way of example, the first screen (3a) and the second screen (3b) when the state of the first mission is the second state indicating the mission scheduled to proceed (i.e., when the current time is before the valid time of the first mission, or when the date corresponding to the current time is the same as the date corresponding to the valid time). For convenience of explanation, the description of elements that are substantially the same as those described in FIG. 2 is omitted below, and only the elements that differ from those described in FIG. 2 are described in detail.
[0060] First, the first screen (3a) is described.
[0061] When the state of the first mission is the second state, at least one interface element representing information about the first mission and at least one interface element (30) representing information about the second mission associated with the first mission may be displayed in the second area of the first screen (3a). In this case, the color of the interface element (31) containing information about the first condition (e.g., 'First acceptance required by 16:50') and valid time information (e.g., 'during 16:30–19:30') among the interface elements representing information about the first mission may be changed to a color that is distinguishable from other interface elements. Accordingly, the information about the first condition and the valid time information may be visually highlighted. Additionally, the status information within the gauge icon of the first mission may be changed to information representing the second state (e.g., 'Starts soon'). Furthermore, the reward information (33) for multiple missions displayed in the second area may be changed to amount information in which the reward amounts for the first mission and the second mission are combined.
[0062] Next, the second screen (3b) is described.
[0063] In one area of the second screen (3b), an interface element (34) indicating a first condition (e.g., 'First order acceptance required by 16:50') may be displayed. Specifically, an interface element including information indicating the end time of a preset time related to the first condition and information indicating a preset event may be displayed at the top of the second screen (3b). Additionally, the status information within the gauge icon of the first mission may be changed and displayed as information on the number of remaining cases until the target number of cases is achieved (e.g., '10 remaining') (35). At the bottom of the second screen (3b), information on the time remaining until the start of the first mission (e.g., '0:59 remaining until mission start') (36) may be further displayed. At this time, the time information may change in real time as time passes.
[0064] FIG. 4 exemplarily illustrates the first screen (4a) and the second screen (4b) when the state of the first mission is a third state indicating a mission in progress (i.e., when the current time is within the valid time). For convenience of explanation, the description of elements that are substantially the same as those described in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is omitted, and elements that differ from those described in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are described in detail below.
[0065] First, the first screen (4a) is described.
[0066] When the state of the first mission is the third state, at least one interface element representing information about the first mission and at least one interface element (40) representing information about the second mission associated with the first mission may be displayed at the top of the second area of the first screen (4a). That is, information about the first mission and information about the second mission may be displayed with priority over other information about today's mission or currently ongoing mission displayed in the second area. In this case, the interface element (41) containing information about the first condition and valid time information may be changed and displayed as an interface element that visually displays the remaining time of the preset time in real time (e.g., 'within 19 minutes and 59 seconds'). That is, in response to the elapsed time of the first mission's valid time, an interface element that visually displays the remaining time of the preset time in real time may be displayed. Accordingly, the user can more effectively recognize and verify the time limit for achieving the first condition of the first mission. In addition, information on the number of deliveries remaining until the target number of deliveries is achieved (e.g., '10 remaining') (42) may be displayed within the gauge icon of the first mission.
[0067] Next, the second screen (4b) is described.
[0068] In one area of the second screen (4b), an interface element (43) indicating a first condition (e.g., 'First order must be accepted within 19 minutes and 59 seconds') may be displayed. Specifically, an interface element including information regarding the remaining time of a preset time and information indicating a preset event may be displayed at the top of the second screen (4b). Additionally, an interface element (i.e., a gauge icon) (44) indicating the status information of the first mission may be displayed in a form that visually indicates that it is in an activated state. At the bottom of the second screen (4b), an interface element (e.g., 'Go online and do the mission') (45) for changing the state of the user terminal to start the mission may be provided. That is, the connection state of the user terminal may be changed according to an input corresponding to the interface element (45) of the second screen (4b). For example, it may be changed from an offline state to an online state, and the online state may mean a state in which delivery tasks can be assigned or an assigned delivery task can be accepted.
[0069] FIG. 5 exemplarily illustrates the first screen (5a) and the second screen (5b) when the first condition is achieved (i.e., when a preset event occurs within a preset time from the start of the valid time). For convenience of explanation, the description of elements that are substantially the same as those described in FIG. 2 to 4 is omitted below, and elements that differ from those described in FIG. 2 to 4 are described in detail.
[0070] First, the first screen (5a) is described.
[0071] When the first condition is achieved, for example, when an input accepting a delivery for an order request is received from a user terminal, at least one interface element representing information about the first mission and at least one interface element (50) representing information about the second mission associated with the first mission may be maintained in a state displayed at the top of the second area of the first screen (5a). However, information about the first condition is no longer displayed, and only valid time information (e.g., 'during 16:30 to 19:30') (51) may be displayed at the corresponding location. Additionally, the achievement of the first condition may mean that one delivery task has been completed, and in this case, information regarding the number of deliveries remaining until the target number is achieved (e.g., '9 remaining') (52) may be changed within the gauge icon of the first mission. Subsequently, as the user accepts or performs additional delivery tasks, the information regarding the number of deliveries remaining displayed within the gauge icon of the first mission may be changed. Additionally, as the first mission progresses, the display form of the interface element (i.e., gauge icon) (53) indicating the second status information or progress rate can be changed to a form that visually expresses that the state is activated.
[0072] Next, the second screen (5b) is described.
[0073] In the second screen (5b), the interface element (i.e., gauge icon) (54) indicating the status information of the first mission can be changed to display information on the number of remaining deliveries (e.g., '9 remaining'). At this time, the degree of achievement of the goal can be displayed by filling up the gauge portion of the gauge icon of the first mission clockwise from the 12 o'clock position. Additionally, the interface element (i.e., gauge icon) (55) indicating the status information of the second mission can be changed to an active state, and information on the achievement rate of the second mission can be displayed.
[0074] FIG. 6 exemplarily illustrates the first screen (6a) and the second screen (6b) when the first condition is not met (i.e., when a preset event does not occur within a preset time from the start of the valid time and the preset time has elapsed). For convenience of explanation, the description of elements that are substantially the same as those described in FIG. 2 to 4 is omitted below, and elements that differ from those described in FIG. 2 to 4 are described in detail.
[0075] First, the first screen (6a) is described.
[0076] If the first condition is not met, at least one interface element representing information about the first mission and at least one interface element (60) representing information about the second mission associated with the first mission may be displayed at the bottom of the second area of the first screen (6a). That is, the information about the first mission and the information about the second mission may be displayed at a lower level than other information about today's mission or currently ongoing mission displayed in the second area.
[0077] At least one interface element representing information about the first mission may include information (61) indicating mission failure, and an interface element (i.e., a gauge icon) (62) representing the status information of the first mission may be changed to display information indicating that the mission has ended (e.g., 'ended'). Additionally, as the second mission is determined to have failed as the first mission fails, an interface element (i.e., a gauge icon) (63) representing the status information of the second mission may also be changed to display information indicating that the mission has ended (e.g., 'ended').
[0078] Next, the second screen (6b) is described.
[0079] Information (64), including detailed information of the first mission and detailed information of the second mission, displayed on the second screen (6a), can be displayed visually opaquely.
[0080] Meanwhile, even if the first mission fails after the first mission has achieved the first condition and the validity period of the first mission has elapsed, a screen substantially identical in form to the first screen and second screen described in FIG. 6 may be provided.
[0081] FIG. 7 illustrates the first screen and the second screen as examples when the first mission and the second mission are completed (i.e., when the validity period of the first mission has elapsed). For convenience of explanation, the description of elements that are substantially the same as those described in FIG. 2 to 5 is omitted below, and elements that differ from those described in FIG. 2 to 5 are described in detail.
[0082] First, the first screen (7a) is described.
[0083] When the first mission is completed, that is, when the validity period of the first mission has elapsed while the conditions of the first mission have been met, an interface element (e.g., 'View more completed missions' icon) (71) providing an expandable function may be displayed at the bottom of the second area of the first screen (7a), and depending on the input selecting the 'View more completed missions' icon, at least one interface element displaying information about the first mission and at least one interface element (70) displaying information about the second mission associated with the first mission may be displayed on the second area of the first screen (7a). The gauge icon of the first mission and the gauge icon of the second mission may be changed to a form indicating that the mission has been successful.
[0084] Next, the second screen (7b) is described.
[0085] The second screen (7b) may include text and images indicating the completion of a mission. For example, text indicating the success of the first mission (e.g., 'Mission successful, 10,000 won bonus acquired!') and images may be displayed in one area of the second screen (7b). In another example, text indicating the success of the second mission (e.g., 'Mission successful, 7,000 won additional bonus acquired!') and images may be displayed in one area of the second screen (7b).
[0086] Meanwhile, although FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary case where both the first and second missions are successful, there may be cases where the second mission fails even if the first mission is successful. In this case, the screen provided to the user terminal is explained with reference to FIG. 8.
[0087] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining a variation of the embodiment described in FIG. 7.
[0088] As illustrated in FIG. 8, in at least one interface element representing information about a first mission and at least one interface element (80) representing information about a second mission associated with the first mission, the gauge icon of the first mission may include information indicating that the first mission was successful, while the gauge icon of the second mission may include information (81) indicating that the mission failed. In this case, the detailed information of the first mission on the second screen (8b) is the same as the example in FIG. 7, but the detailed information (82) of the second mission may be displayed visually opaquely.
[0089] FIG. 9 is a drawing for explaining a third screen provided to a user terminal according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0090] FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary third screen (9) provided to a user terminal upon completion of a delivery for an order request. When a delivery task for an order request is completed, mission information that has progressed according to the completion of the delivery task may be displayed on the third screen (9). In the example of FIG. 9, an interface element (91a) including progress information for a first mission and progress information for a second mission may be displayed in one area of the third screen (9). Specifically, the progress information for the first mission may include information on the remaining target number of deliveries (e.g., 'if 9 more deliveries'), information on rewards upon success (e.g., '10,000 won'), information on the target number of deliveries (e.g., '10 deliveries'), and information on the achievement of the goal. At this time, the goal achievement information may be displayed in the form of a gauge bar. For example, the degree of goal achievement may be displayed by the gauge bar filling up in one direction according to the achievement rate of the first mission upon completion of the delivery. The progress information for the second mission may include condition information for the second mission (e.g., 'when maintaining 70%') and reward information upon success (e.g., '7,000 won'), and may be displayed in text form below the progress information for the first mission. In this case, the progress information for the second mission may further include a marker (e.g., '+') indicating that the second mission is an additional mission dependent on the first mission.
[0091] Meanwhile, if the first mission is completed (i.e., successful) as the delivery is completed, the interface element (91b) containing the progress information of the first mission and the progress information of the second mission may be changed to a form indicating mission success. Additionally, an interface element (e.g., a dynamic image with a moving coin-shaped image) (92) that intuitively indicates mission completion may be displayed on the third screen (9). For example,
[0092] Up to this point, with reference to FIG. 1, an overall system in which a mission information provision method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure can be performed has been described, and with reference to FIG. 2 through 9, a user interface according to a specific mission information provision method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure has been described. The embodiments described above may be understood in more detail by referring to other embodiments to be described later. Furthermore, the technical concept that can be understood through the embodiments described above may be reflected in other embodiments to be described later, even without being separately specified.
[0093] Hereinafter, a method for providing mission information according to several embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, including FIG. 10. For convenience of understanding, the following description will continue under the assumption that all steps / operations of the methods to be described below are performed in the mission information providing system (100) (hereinafter abbreviated as 'system'). However, in an actual environment, depending on the implementation method, some steps / operations of the methods to be described below may be performed at a user terminal (200).
[0094] FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing mission information according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. However, this is merely a preferred embodiment for achieving the purpose of the present disclosure, and it is understood that some steps may be added or deleted as necessary. Additionally, for convenience of explanation, the subject of each step may be omitted from the description.
[0095] First, in step S11, information regarding a first mission associated with a user of a user terminal may be obtained. The mission associated with the user may refer to a mission(s) that the user is currently conducting or a mission(s) that the user can conduct. Here, the first mission may include a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start of the valid time.
[0096] Next, in step S12, the state of the first mission can be determined using information regarding the valid time of the first mission and information regarding the current time, and in step S13, based on the state of the first mission determined in step S12, the display form of at least one interface element representing information about the first mission can be determined. Here, the information about the first mission may include information regarding a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start time of the valid time of the first mission.
[0097] For example, if the current time is prior to the aforementioned valid time, the state of the first mission may be determined as a first state indicating a mission scheduled to proceed. In this case, the display location of at least one interface element indicating information about the first mission may be determined as a first area of the first screen. In another example, if the current time is prior to the aforementioned valid time, or if the date corresponding to the current time is the same as the date corresponding to the aforementioned valid time, the state of the first mission may be determined as a second state indicating a mission scheduled to proceed soon. In this case, the display location of at least one interface element indicating information about the first mission may be changed to a second area different from the first area. At this time, the display color of the interface element containing information about the first condition of the first mission among at least one interface element may be changed.
[0098] In another example, if the current time is within the aforementioned valid time, the state of the first mission may be determined to be a third state indicating a mission in progress. In this case, the display position of at least one interface element indicating information about the first mission may be determined to be the top of the second area. At this time, at least one interface element may include a first interface element that visually displays the remaining time of a preset time in real time. In another example, when the state of the first mission is in the third state indicating a mission in progress, if a preset event occurs, the first interface element that visually displays the remaining time of the preset time in real time may be deleted and not displayed in response. In another example, when the state of the first mission is in the third state indicating a mission in progress, if no preset event occurs and a preset time has elapsed, the display position of at least one interface element indicating information about the first mission may be changed to the bottom of the second area in response.
[0099] Next, in step S14, a first screen including at least one interface element of the display form determined in step S13 may be provided to the user terminal.
[0100] Meanwhile, if there is a second mission associated with the first mission, the first screen may additionally include at least one interface element containing information about the second mission. This will be explained in detail below.
[0101] First, information regarding a second mission associated with a first mission may be obtained. Here, the information regarding the second mission may include information regarding a second condition requiring the first mission to be achieved above a preset level.
[0102] Next, at least one interface element representing information regarding the second mission may be created using information regarding the second mission. In this case, the at least one interface element representing information regarding the second mission may be created in a form that is visually distinguishable from at least one interface element representing information regarding the first mission, while being visually and content-wise dependent on the information regarding the first mission. For example, a second interface element may be created that visually indicates that the second mission is in a dependent relationship with respect to the first mission. In this case, the display form of the second interface may be determined based on the progress information of the first mission. Specifically, the progress information of the first mission may be obtained, the achievement rate of the second mission may be calculated using the progress information of the first mission, and the display form of the second interface element may be updated based on the achievement rate of the second mission.
[0103] FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing mission information according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. However, this is merely a preferred embodiment for achieving the purpose of the present disclosure, and it is understood that some steps may be added or deleted as necessary. Additionally, for convenience of explanation, the subject of each step may be omitted from the description.
[0104] First, in step S21, a user's selection input for at least a portion of the area displaying information about the first mission can be obtained.
[0105] Next, in step S22, a second screen containing detailed information about the first mission may be generated in response to obtaining a selection input, and in step S23, the second screen may be provided to the user terminal of the user. Here, the detailed information about the first mission may include information about a first condition requiring the occurrence of a preset event within a preset time from the start time of the validity period of the first mission.
[0106] In one embodiment, the format of the second screen may be determined according to the status information of the first mission. For example, if the status of the first mission is a second state indicating a mission scheduled to proceed soon, the second screen may include a third interface element indicating the end time of a preset time. In another example, if the status of the first mission is a third state indicating a mission in progress, the second screen may include a fourth interface element indicating the remaining time of the preset time in real time.
[0107] Meanwhile, if there is a second mission associated with the first mission, the second screen may include additional detailed information regarding the second mission. Specifically, if there is a second mission associated with the first mission, detailed information regarding the second mission may be displayed in a portion of the second screen, and the detailed information regarding the second mission may include information regarding a second condition requiring the first mission to be achieved above a preset level.
