Description

Apparatus and method for providing product recommendation and order service based on tag of order data

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a product recommendation and ordering service, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for recommending a product based on tag information mapped to order data and providing an ordering service.

In general, a transaction between a wholesaler that supplies fashion products such as clothing and a retailer that sells products supplied from the wholesaler to consumers is made based on a predetermined order. In other words, when a retailer receives an order for a product from a consumer, counts the orders, and places an order to the wholesaler, the wholesaler delivers the product to the retailer according to the counted quantity. In this case, in general, the retailer prepays the price of the product at the same time as the order, and the wholesaler checks the stock of the product after payment and releases it or manufactures the product in insufficient quantity.

Retailers selling goods to consumers are mostly open during the day, while wholesalers who manufacture and distribute goods in bulk are usually open late at night or early in the morning. According to such a conventional wholesale and retail transaction method, when a retailer inquires a wholesaler for a restocking schedule or makes a request to change the quantity, size, color, etc. of a required product, considerable inconvenience is experienced. Due to these problems, most retailers have no choice but to operate their business with a great burden.

While solving these problems, wholesale/retail brokerage services such as purchasing are emerging in order to secure reliability and predictability between wholesalers and retailers to provide product shipment and delivery processing.

Purchasing means purchasing goods for the purpose of commerce in the dictionary, but in a wholesale/retail service handling apparel, order management and order management and means brokerage.

As a result, purchasers engaged in purchasing operations must send orders received from retailers to the wholesalers on the same day, and complete collection and delivery. Purchasing business requires both promptness and accuracy due to the nature of the business, but in reality, the work efficiency is very low, such as cutting the contents of the order received from the retailer one by one with scissors and taking pictures and sending it to the wholesaler.

In order to solve this problem, various wholesale/retail transaction brokerage systems have been proposed that store and manage order information as electronic data in an automated form.

However, the current system requires a computer installed with specific wholesale/retail transaction brokerage software, and has limitations in that it is possible to process order data normally only by using a unified order form between wholesale, retail, and purchase.

This limitation not only makes real-time processing difficult, but also hinders data compatibility. It is inconvenient to rewrite and input the personalized order forms used by each wholesaler or retailer for individual convenience according to the transaction brokerage software form. this exists

Due to these inconveniences, not only the usability and convenience of the software are reduced, but also excessive time is required to rewrite the order form, and there is a problem that work processing time may be rather longer if modifications are made.

Since the service providing unit 180 processes the analysis result and provides it to the terminals (purchase terminal 200, retail terminal 300, wholesale terminal 400), the analysis information database 146 sets the analysis Information, analysis results, and processed analysis information may be mapped to each other, and stored and managed.

4 is a block diagram showing the information input terminal 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

The information input terminal 500 may include an input unit 5001 , a receiving unit 5002 , a display unit 5003 , and a control unit 5004 .

The input unit 5001 may input tag information and related additional information corresponding to the order data standardized in the service providing apparatus 100 .

Also, the input unit 5001 may input trend analysis setting information to the service providing apparatus 100 .

Also, the input unit 5001 may input a similar product recommendation command according to an image search to the service providing apparatus 100 , and may input a specific product purchase command according to a trend analysis result or a popular product extraction result.

The receiving unit 5002 may receive standardized order data processed by the service providing apparatus 100, and mapping data processed by the service providing apparatus 100 (ie, image information and features for each standardized order data) data in which the indicated tag information is mapped to each other) may be received, and a trend analysis result and similar product recommendation result processed by the service providing apparatus 100 may be received.

The display unit 5003 displays the mapping data received by the receiving unit 500 (that is, data in which image information for each standardized order data and tag information indicating characteristics are mapped to each other), trend analysis results, and similar product recommendation results. screen can be displayed.

The control unit 5004 may control the overall operation of the corresponding information input terminal 500 , but may control information exchange between the input unit 5001 , the reception unit 5002 , and the display unit 5003 smoothly.

5 to 7 are sequence diagrams for explaining an operation method of an apparatus supporting tagging of characteristic information corresponding to standardized order data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 8 to 16 are an embodiment of the present invention This is an example of a screen employed to describe an operation method of a device supporting tagging of characteristic information corresponding to standardized order data.

Since the operation of the device supporting the feature information tagging corresponding to the standardized order data according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly performed between the service providing device 100 and the information input terminal 500, hereinafter, various information exchanges between them are performed. It is explained by the operation through .

As described above, the information input terminal 500 is a tagger (eg, a fashion designer or MD (Merchandiser)) or an inspector (for example, a fashion designer or MD (Merchandiser)) or an inspector ( Since it is a terminal used by the administrator), the user of the information input terminal 500 first inquires the tagging list distributed to him/her.

That is, the user of the information input terminal 500 requests a tagging list inquiry to tag the standardized order data with feature information (S10).

Accordingly, a tagging list inquiry request signal corresponding thereto is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100, and the service providing apparatus 100 displays a predetermined tagging list inquiry screen (refer to FIG. 8) in response thereto to the corresponding information input terminal ( 500) to (S12). In FIG. 8 , order information to be tagged by the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 is listed in numerical order. For example, when the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the order information area 10 located under each order number in FIG. 8 , as shown in FIG. 9 , order information for the corresponding order number can be checked. .

And, when a number to be tagged is selected in the information input terminal 500 (S14), for example, if the order number 5 is clicked in FIG. 8, the information input terminal 500 provides corresponding number selection information to the service providing device ( 100) to (S16).

Next, the service providing apparatus 100 transmits the image input screen as shown in FIG. 10 to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S18). If you click "View Order Information" on the upper right of the image input screen of FIG. 10, the order information exemplified in FIG. company name, etc.).

The user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 confirming the order information registers a product image corresponding to the order information (ie, standardized order data) (S20). For example, the user of the information input terminal 500 may find and register a product image linked to the corresponding order information from information pre-stored in the database management unit 140 of the web or service providing apparatus 100 . If an image is included in the retailer's order information, the image can be registered immediately. have. In this case, the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 may not only register the product image but also input information such as a photo source and reference URL of the registered image. The reason for registering a product image corresponding to the retailer's order information or registering an image for each product uploaded by a wholesaler is the pre-stored product image (more specifically, it may be the corresponding product) when tagging later. This is because it has the advantage that faster tagging is possible because the tag information can be directly imported and used as tag information.

When the registration of the product image is completed in this way (ie, when the confirmation button 12 is clicked in FIG. 10 ), the registered image is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 ( S22 ).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 includes a registration image area 14 , a tag attribute list area 16 , a tag attribute value input area 18 , and a similar product image list area 20 as shown in FIG. 11 . A tagger view screen (ie, tag interface) is generated and transmitted to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S24, S26). Here, the product image registered by the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 is displayed in the registered image area 14 , and various tag attributes that can be assigned to the registered product image (eg, in the tag attribute list area 16 ) . , similar product images in the similar product image list area 20 are displayed similar to the product image in the registered image area 14 in color and shape. In this case, the similar product image of the similar product image list area 20 may be disposed at a higher level as the degree of similarity increases. That is, the service providing apparatus 100 is similar according to a preset color and shape reflection ratio (eg, color 40% reflection and shape 60% reflection, color 60% reflection, shape 40% reflection, etc.) You can search for product images. The similar product image list area 20 includes an area 21 for displaying the image similarity percentage, an area 22 for displaying a similar product image, an area 23 for displaying set information of the corresponding similar product, and an attribute of the currently being tagged. It may include an area 24 for displaying similar product tag attribute value information, and an area 25 for displaying basic product and tagging information for a corresponding similar product image. For example, if the area 23 is selected (clicked), the corresponding set properties are applied collectively, and if the area 24 is selected (clicked), the tag attribute value displayed in the area 24 is the value of the tag property currently being tagged. It can be added to the attribute value.

Thereafter, when the user of the information input terminal 500 selects any one similar product image in the similar product image list area 20 of the tagger view screen (refer to FIG. 11 ), the corresponding similar product image selection information is provided to the service providing device ( 100) to (S28, S30).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 extracts the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the registered image (that is, the image on the registered image area 14) and transmits it to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S32, S34). Here, the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied are the tag attribute and the tag attribute value donated to the selected similar product image. Since the tag attribute and tag attribute value donated to the similar product image are already stored and registered in the database management unit 140 , the service providing apparatus 100 provides the tag attribute and tag attribute value that must be applied to the registered image inevitably. can be easily extracted.

Accordingly, the information input terminal 500 displays the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the registered image in a pop-up type as shown in FIG. 12 . Here, the mandatory applied tag information displayed in a pop-up type in FIG. 12 can be referred to as tag information (ie, tag attribute and tag attribute value) donated to the corresponding similar product image.

If the user of the information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button 12 in FIG. 12 (“Yes” in S36), the information input terminal 500 provides the corresponding confirmation selection information to the service providing device 100 to (S38).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 determines the tag attribute and the tag attribute value displayed in FIG. 12 as the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the image registered in the registered image area 14 .

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 inputs the determined tag attribute and tag attribute value to the tag attribute list area 16 (S40), and displays a screen (see FIG. 13) in which the required applied tag information is inputted to the corresponding information input terminal ( 500) to (S42).

If there is no tag attribute to be added other than the required applied tag information of FIG. 13 , the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button (“Yes” in S44). Accordingly, confirmation selection information corresponding thereto is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S46).

Next, the service providing device 100 converts the input essential information tag information (ie, information input to the tag attribute list area 16 of FIG. 13 ) to the corresponding order information (ie, the image registered in the registration image area 14 ). Order information corresponding to ) is mapped (applied) to the batch (S48).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 stores the mapping information in the database management unit 140 (S50).

Conversely, if there is a tag attribute to be added other than the required applied tag information of FIG. 13 , the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 selects the tag attribute to be added from the tag attribute list area 16 ( S52 ). For example, assume that the user has selected "Kara".

Accordingly, an additional selection signal corresponding thereto is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 ( S54 ), and the service providing apparatus 100 enters a tag attribute value input area for the additionally selected tag attribute. (18) is activated (S56).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 transmits the screen (see FIG. 14 ) including the activated tag attribute value input area 18 to the corresponding information input terminal 500 ( S58 ).

The user of the information input terminal 500 may additionally input any one of various tag attribute values presented in the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 . In this case, the user of the information input terminal 500 may place a cursor on the tag attribute value to be checked in order to confirm what each tag attribute value is. In this way, a tagging reference screen (not shown) corresponding thereto is additionally displayed at the lower end of the corresponding tag attribute value of the tag attribute value input area 18 . For example, when it is desired to check what type of "shirt collar" of the tag attribute value input area 18 is, an example screen (ie, a tagging reference screen) showing the shape of the shirt collar may be additionally displayed. It should be understood that such a tagging reference screen is generated by the service providing apparatus 100 and transmitted to the information input terminal 500 . Meanwhile, since the service providing apparatus 100 manages the restrictions between tag attributes, it is assumed that the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 exposes only inputable tag attribute values for the selected additional tag attribute. The reason for managing the constraints between tag attributes in this way is to reduce tag candidates during tagging, and the constraints can be managed in consideration of the correlation between tag attributes. For example, if "blouse" is selected as the "item (medium)" input value as shown in FIG. 15, "A-line", "H-line", ... Only "Empire Line" can be exposed.

If the user of the information input terminal 500 selects any one tag attribute value (eg, "chinkara") in the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 , the information input terminal 500 displays the corresponding tag The attribute value additional input information is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S60, S62).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 inputs the added tag information (ie, the added tag attribute (eg, collar) and the corresponding tag attribute value (eg, chinkara)) into the tag attribute list area 16, A screen (see FIG. 16 ) on which the added tag information is input is transmitted to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S64, S66).

Then, the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button (“Yes” in S68). Accordingly, the corresponding confirmation selection information is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S70).

Next, the service providing apparatus 100 maps the input essential information tag information and the added tag information to the corresponding order information (ie, order information corresponding to the image registered in the registered image area 14) (S72).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 stores the mapping information in the database management unit 140 (S74).

In the above description, it is assumed that the user manually registers the product image corresponding to the order information to be tagged. However, if necessary, the service providing apparatus 100 may automatically search for and register the product image.

Meanwhile, when the history image search mode is selected, the image input unit 3002 uses the image selected from the history list as it is without cropping the image.

In particular, the image input unit 3002 displays the received image on the screen so that it can be visually confirmed, and for this purpose, it includes a display element.

The search request unit 3003 receives a search request for the current image input to the image input unit 3002 . That is, if the user clicks the search button after selecting a search mode, the search request unit 3003 considers that there is a search request for the image currently input in the image input unit 3002 .

The search request unit 3003 may transmit a product image to be searched (ie, an image input from the image input unit 3002) and a search request signal to the service providing apparatus 100 through a communication network.

The recommendation information receiving unit 3004 receives recommendation information from the service providing apparatus 100 . That is, the service providing apparatus 100 analyzes a search target (ie, product image) provided from the retail terminal 300 based on a database in which standardized order data and tag information mapped thereto are stored to correlate the tags. According to the relationship, a product similar to a search target (eg, a product similar in color and shape, etc.) may be recommended. Of course, the service providing apparatus 100 may recommend a product similar to a search target or a popular product from the year, period, small item, order quantity for each tag attribute, etc., based on the tag information. Of course, the service providing apparatus 100 may provide recommended information (information of similar products or popular products) based on a result of learning based on trend analysis and current status (eg, weather, season, social event, etc.).

In other words, the recommendation information receiving unit 3004 may receive the recommendation information generated through the analyzing unit 170 and the service providing unit 180 of the service providing apparatus 100 as described above. For example, the recommendation information may include an image of the recommended product, a product name of the recommended product, a wholesaler name where the recommended product can be purchased, a wholesaler location, a purchase price (ie, a wholesale price), and the like.

The display unit 3005 may display various screens for image search and product recommendation service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the display unit 3005 may display respective selection buttons for the search mode (photo taking search mode, gallery photo search mode, and history image search mode).

The display unit 3005 may display the recommendation information received by the recommendation information receiving unit 3004 on a screen.

In the above description, the image input unit 3002 and the display unit 3005 are configured separately, because there is a functional difference. However, from the perspective of displaying something, the image input unit 3002 and the display unit 3005 may be viewed as one module.

The order request unit 4006 may request an order for a recommended product to be purchased from among the recommended products displayed on the display unit 3005 .

The order request in the order request unit 4006 (eg, purchaser information (ie, information of the user of the retail terminal 300), product name to be purchased, quantity of product to be purchased, etc.) ) is sent to Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 generates a new order form according to the order request from the order request unit 4006 , and transmits the generated new order form to the purchasing terminal 200 or the wholesale terminal 400 .

The control unit 3007 controls each component of the corresponding retail terminal 300 , and may be implemented as one or more microprocessors that generally control the operation and execution of functions of each component of the corresponding retail terminal 300 .

Although the above-described FIG. 17 has been described as being a component of the retail terminal 300, purchases can be made by a purchaser or a wholesaler if necessary, so each component shown in FIG. 17 is a purchase terminal 200 and It will also be applicable to the wholesale terminal 400 .

18 is a sequence diagram illustrating a method for providing a tag-based product recommendation and order service of order data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 19 to 22 are tag-based order data according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is an example of a screen employed to describe a method of providing product recommendation and ordering service.

First, the user of the retail terminal 300 selects a desired search mode by manipulating the search mode selection unit 3001 to receive a product recommendation service ( S100 ). Here, the selected search mode is a photo-taking search mode in which the user searches based on a photo taken by himself, a gallery photo search mode in which the user searches based on a photo selected from among photos stored in the gallery of the retail terminal 300; and a history image search mode for searching based on an image selected from images stored in the history list of the retail terminal 300 . And, since selection buttons for the photo-taking search mode, the gallery photo search mode, and the history image search mode are displayed on the screen of the retail terminal 300 (eg, the display unit 3005), any one of these search modes is selected. you just have to choose

Then, the image input unit 3002 of the retail terminal 300 receives an image of a product to be searched (ie, an image of a search product) according to the selected search mode (S102), and the search request unit 3003 receives the input (S102). A search request for a product image is received (S104).

For example, a case in which a photo taking search mode is selected will be described as follows.

After the photo-taking search mode is selected, if the user points the camera toward the search object to photograph the search object (eg, clothing, etc.) A screen 30 is displayed. Then, when the user clicks the shooting button 32 at the bottom, a crop screen is displayed on the image input unit 3002 as shown in the middle figure of FIG. 19, and the image input unit 3002 crops the currently input product image ( crop) to remove unnecessary parts.

Accordingly, a cropping result screen as in the rightmost figure of FIG. 19 may be displayed on the image input unit 3002 . Thereafter, when the user clicks the search button 34 at the bottom, the search request unit 3003 searches for the product image currently input in the image input unit 3002 (that is, the product image in the rightmost picture of FIG. 19 ). It is deemed to have been requested.

This time, the case where the gallery photo search mode is selected will be described.

When the gallery photo search mode is selected, an album screen 36 in which several photos are stored in the gallery of the corresponding retail terminal 300 is displayed on the image input unit 3002 as shown in the left figure of FIG. 20 . Here, when the user selects a photo on the album screen 36, the corresponding photo is displayed on the crop screen 38 of the image input unit 3002 as shown in the right figure of FIG. Next, the image input unit 3002 crops the currently input photo image to remove unnecessary portions. The above-described cropping may be performed automatically by using a region of interest (ROI) designation and image extraction method, or may be performed according to the user's designation of a region. Thereafter, when the user clicks the search button 34 at the bottom, the search request unit 3003 requests a search for the photo image currently input in the image input unit 3002 (ie, the photo image in the right figure of FIG. 20 ). is considered to have

This time, a case in which the history image search mode is selected will be described.

When the history image search mode is selected, as shown in FIG. 21 , the image input unit 3002 displays a history screen 40 containing images stored in the history list of the corresponding retail terminal 300 . In this case, a list of photos by date is displayed on the history screen 40 in the order of the latest, and the photo images by date are arranged in the order of the latest. Thereafter, when the user selects any one photo image on the history screen 40 , the search request unit 3003 considers that there is a search request for the currently selected photo image.

When the image input (ie, product image input) and the search request are completed in this way, the search request unit 3003 of the retail terminal 300 transmits the image of the product to be searched and the search request signal through the communication network to the service providing device It is transmitted to (100) (S106).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 analyzes a search target (ie, product image) provided from the retail terminal 300 based on a database storing standardized order data and tag information mapped thereto, According to the correlation, the same or similar product to the search target (eg, the same or similar product in color and shape) may be recommended ( S108 , S110 ). Of course, the service providing apparatus 100 may recommend a product identical to or similar to a search target or a popular product from the year, period, small item, order quantity for each tag attribute, etc., based on the tag information. Of course, the service providing device 100 may generate recommendation information (information of the same or similar products or popular products) based on trend analysis and current status (eg, weather, season, social event, etc.) have.

Thereafter, the service providing apparatus 100 transmits the product recommendation information to the retail terminal 300 through the communication network ( S112 ).

Accordingly, the product recommendation information received through the recommendation information receiving unit 3004 of the retail terminal 300 is displayed on the display unit 3005 on the recommendation information screen 42 as shown in FIG. 22 ( S114 ). That is, in FIG. 22 , three products (eg, a product having the same or similar color and shape as the search product or a product having the same or similar color and shape as the search product) As a popular product, it can be called a recommended product, and an image of the recommended information screen 42 (exposed at the lower part) is shown. Here, the recommended products exposed at the lower part of the recommendation information screen 42 may be displayed by being sorted in any one of accuracy, order of lowest price, and order of highest price. And, the accuracy, the order of the lowest, the order of the highest is selectable by the user.

Next, when there is a product to be purchased from among the exposed recommended products, the user requests a new order for the product.

When there is an order request from the user (“Yes” in S116), the order request unit 4006 provides a corresponding new order request (eg, purchaser information (ie, information of the user of the retail terminal 300), the product name to be purchased, including the quantity of products to be purchased) to the service providing apparatus 100 through a communication network (S118).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 generates a new order form according to the order request from the order request unit 4006 (S120), and the generated new order form corresponding to the retail terminal 300 and/or the wholesale terminal ( 400) to (S122). Here, information on the new order form will be stored in the order information database 142 .

In the above description, the photo taking search mode, the gallery photo search mode, and the history image search mode have been described as examples, but a text (search word) search mode may be added. In the text search mode, when a search word (eg, product name, product tag, wholesale name, etc.) is input, a recommended product search based on the corresponding search word may be performed. If necessary, when the text search mode is selected, recent search terms (eg, about 5 recently searched words), popular search terms (eg, about the top 10 search terms with the highest number of search terms entered during the past 1 day) are displayed on the display unit. By doing so, it can help the user to enter a search term.

On the other hand, a category search mode may be added as shown in FIG. 23 .

In the case of FIG. 23 , when a user inputs a predetermined search word (eg, cardigan) into the search word input window of the display unit 3005 as in the leftmost screen, images of search result products according to accuracy with the corresponding search word are exposed. In this case, the displayed search result products may be exposed in any one of popularity order, low price order, and high price order. And, the order of popularity, order of lowest price, order of highest price is selectable by the user. Next, when the user clicks on the category 44 on the leftmost screen of FIG. 23 , the category selection screen 46 as in the center screen of FIG. 23 is exposed on the retail terminal 300 . On the category selection screen 46 , the product items classified according to the large category of product items are displayed. For example, when the product item (large) is "outer", medium-class product items such as overalls, coats, trench cords, furs, paddings, jackets, jumpers, cardigans, open vests, long shirts, etc. may be displayed. When the product item (large) is "top", medium-class product items such as overalls, inners, T-shirts, blouses, shirts, pullovers, vests, and anoraks may be displayed. In this state, when the user touches a desired product item (eg, T-shirt, vest, pullover) on the central screen of FIG. 23 and clicks the Apply button 48, the product item selected by the user is a search result as a category value is reflected in That is, the retail terminal 300 exposes a search result screen 50 such as the rightmost screen of FIG. 23 .
