3 is a diagram illustrating an operating method of the server device 100 for providing store information according to various embodiments.

According to FIG. 3, the server device 100 provides store information, and in order to perform an operation of providing the store information, checks one or more stores related to a service for delivery mediation provided by the server device 100 (301), obtains representative image information including representative store image information about the first store and representative item image information about items sold in the first store (303), with respect to a first store included in the one or more stores, Information of the first store may be provided (305).

Hereinafter, a service for delivery mediation provided by the server device 100 according to FIG. 3 or a service related to the server device 100 may correspond to a service for ordering item pickup and mediating delivery orders between various stores located on the service and a plurality of users using the service. In addition, items subject to pick-up orders and delivery orders may correspond to food items, and food items may be understood to have the same meaning as various other terms indicating food-related items such as dishes, food menus, or meals. A store associated with a service for delivery brokerage may correspond to a store that sells and delivers food items, and may be understood to have the same meaning as various other terms indicating places where food items can be sold, such as stores, shops, and restaurants.

That is, through a service for mediating an item pick-up order and delivery order provided by the server device 100, a plurality of users may input an order request for ordering an item through a store within the corresponding service, and the store may check the order request entered through the corresponding service and prepare the ordered item in response thereto. If the store supports both pickup orders and delivery orders, the user visits the store directly and packs or picks up the item according to the user's choice. For the pick-up order, when the ordered item is ready, the store inputs item preparation completion information in the corresponding service, and then the user can visit the store to pick up the item. Alternatively, for a delivery order in which a delivery man delivers an item to the user's address according to the user's selection, the store inputs delivery request information from the service when the ordered item is ready, and when the delivery request information is confirmed, the delivery man visits the store, picks up the item, and delivers it to the user's address information.

According to various embodiments, in operation 301, the server device 100 may check one or more stores related to a service for brokering delivery.

For example, one or more stores identified by the server device 100 in operation 301 may correspond to a store that sells and delivers food items in association with a service, and may be understood to have the same meaning as various other terms indicating a place where food items such as a store, shop, restaurant, etc. can be sold on the service.

For example, one or more stores that the server device 100 checks in operation 301 may include stores that may be recommended for the user on the main page of the service, and stores that may be recommended for the user may include stores that are recommended based on the user's search history, stores that are recommended based on the user's order history, or stores that are recommended based on the user's location. In this case, store information provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305 to be described later may be information provided through a main page on a service.

For example, one or more stores identified by the server device 100 in operation 301 may include a store that may be provided as a search result corresponding to a keyword input by a user to search for a store on the service, and may include a store that has a name corresponding to the keyword input by the user or a store that sells food items corresponding to the keyword input by the user. In this case, store information provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305 to be described later may be information provided through a store search page on the service.

According to various embodiments, in operation 303, the server device 100 may obtain representative image information including representative store image information for the first store and representative item image information for items sold in the first store, with respect to the first store included in one or more stores.

For example, representative image information acquired by the server device 100 for the first store in operation 303 may include representative store image information that may represent the first store. Representative store image information that can represent the first store may include various image information, such as images of inside or outside the store that can represent the first store, or images including various menu items that can represent the first store.

For example, representative image information acquired by the server device 100 for the first store in accordance with operation 303 may include representative item image information representing items sold in the first store. Representative item image information representing items sold in the first store may include various image information such as an image of an item identified as having high sales in the first store, an image of an item identified as having a high rating in the first store, or an image of an item identified as a signature item for the first store.

For example, the server device 100 obtaining representative image information about the first store according to operation 303 may include obtaining, by the server device 100, order number information and item rating information for a plurality of items sold in the first store, determining a representative item for representative item image information among the plurality of items based on the obtained order number information and item rating information, and acquiring representative image information set to include the image information of the determined representative item. In this case, the representative item as described above may include two items, such as a first item and a second item sold in the first store. In this case, the representative item image information included in the representative image information for the first store includes the first image information of the first item and the second image information of the second item.

That is, the server device 100 may determine the first item and the second item as representative items for representative item image information included in the representative image information for the first store, and obtain representative item image information from the first image information of the first item and the second image information of the second item included in the determined representative item. An operation of the server device 100 for obtaining representative item image information may be summarized as shown in FIG. 4 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a method in which the server device 100 obtains representative item image information for items sold in a store according to various embodiments. The operation of the server device 100 according to FIG. 4 may be included in operation 303 in which the server device 100 obtains representative image information.

As described above, the server device 100 may acquire order number information for a plurality of items sold in a store and item rating information for a plurality of items (401). After acquiring order number information and item rating information for a plurality of items sold in the store, the server device 100 may determine a representative item including a first item and a second item for representative item image information to be included in representative image information among a plurality of items based on the acquired order number information and item rating information (403). Thereafter, the server device 100 may obtain representative item image information including first image information of the first item and second image information of the second item (405).

For example, first image information of a first item included in the representative item determined by the server device 100 may be checked based on image information of the first item included in an item detail page for the first item in a store detail page of a first store on a service related to the server device 100. That is, based on the image of the first item included in the item detail page including information on the first item within the store detail page of the first store, first image information of the first item to be included in representative item image information can be identified.

At this time, in the image of the first item included in the item detail page including information on the first item, the server device 100 may identify an area in which the first item is primarily displayed among the entire image areas, and may crop an area identified as primarily displayed in the entire image area of the image of the first item to obtain first image information of the first item to be included in representative item image information. Since the image of an item included in the item detail page may include other images, such as a blank space or a decor or decoration for the item, in addition to the basic image of the item, the server device 100 identifies and obtains a partial image including only the item among the item detail page included in the item detail page as image information to be included in the representative item image information by identifying a part where the item is displayed among images of the item included in the item detail page and performing a cropping operation on the identified part. In the process of performing such a cropping operation, the server device 100 may utilize various techniques capable of identifying a region corresponding to a food item in an image.

For example, an image of a first item included in an item detail page including information on the first item may be an image obtained from a terminal of a first store that sells the first item. That is, the first store may take and acquire an image of the first item sold by itself and provide the image to the server device 100, and the server device 100 may confirm that the provided image is an image of the first item and post the corresponding image on the item detail page for the first item included in the store detail page of the first store on the service.

For example, when the image of the first item is not confirmed on the item detail page including information on the first item, that is, when the image of the first item is not posted on the item detail page including information on the first item, the first item may be excluded from determining the representative item to be included in the representative item image information. That is, the representative item to be included in the representative item image information may be determined for an item confirmed to have an image included in the item detail page among a plurality of items sold in the store. If the server device 100 identifies the first item as one of the representative items to be included in the representative item image information for the first store, but the image of the first item is not identified on the item detail page of the first item, the server device 100 may exclude the first item from determining the representative item and transmit image request information for the first item to the terminal at the first store.

For example, as described with reference to FIG. 4 , the server device 100 may obtain order count information for a plurality of items sold in the first store and item rating information for the plurality of items for a first store included in one or more stores associated with a service, and determine a representative item including a first item and a second item for representative image information to be included in representative image information among a plurality of items based on the obtained order number information and item rating information.

At this time, the server device 100 determining the representative item including the first item and the second item for the first store as described above may include checking one or more items for which display information indicating that a condition corresponding to order number information is satisfied or display information indicating that a condition corresponding to item rating information is satisfied is set among a plurality of items sold by the first store, and determining the first item and the second item as representative items among the identified one or more items.

For a plurality of items sold by the first store, the server device 100 may set display information for a specific item that satisfies a condition such that the number of orders is greater than or equal to a certain number or that the number of orders is ranked within a certain order. As an example, such display information may be set in the form of a tag or chip including text such as 'a lot of orders', and may be displayed in addition to the information on the specific item provided on the store detail page of the first store.

In addition, the server device 100 may set display information for a specific item that satisfies a condition, such as an item review score of a plurality of items sold by the first store, or a higher item review score, or a higher number of item reviews. For example, such display information may be set in the form of a tag or chip including text such as 'review best', and may be displayed in addition to the information on the specific item provided on the store detail page of the first store.

With respect to the first store, the server device 100 may determine a representative item, which is a target of representative item image information to be included in the representative image information, among a plurality of items sold in the first store, among one or more items for which display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied or display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the item rating information is satisfied as described above is set.

Among a plurality of items sold by the server device 100 in the first store, the method of determining the first item and the second item as representative items may vary depending on the number of items for which each display information is set, among one or more items in which display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied or display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the item rating information is satisfied is set as representative items.

Among one or more items for which each display information is set, some items for which display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied and display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the item rating information is satisfied are all set, and the number of corresponding items may be two or more. In this case, the server device 100 may select a first item and a second item among the partial items for which it is confirmed that all display information is set, and determine them as representative items. The server device 100 may limit the number of items for which each display information is set to a certain number or less in order to prevent problems such as difficulty in selecting a representative item or excessive information provided to a user due to an unnecessarily large number of items for which each display information is set.

Among one or more items for which each display information is set, some items for which display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied and display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the item rating information is satisfied are all set, and the number of corresponding items may be one. In this case, the server device 100 selects the one item for which it is confirmed that all display information is set as the first item and determines it as the representative item, and selects the item with the largest number of orders among the items other than the one item among the one or more items as the second item and determines it as the representative item. That is, if there is one item for which all display information is set, the corresponding item may be immediately determined as one representative item, and an item having the largest number of orders among other items for which only one display information is set may be determined as another representative item. That is, among other items for which only one display information is set, the condition corresponding to the order number information may have a higher priority than the condition corresponding to the item rating information, and the item for which the highest number of orders has been confirmed has the highest priority. It can be determined as a representative item.

Among one or more items for which each display information is set, some items for which both display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied and display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the item rating information is satisfied may not be identified. That is, there may be no item for which both display information is set. In this case, the server device 100 may select the first item and the second item as the representative item in consideration of the priority related to the condition corresponding to the number of orders information and the priority related to the condition corresponding to the item rating information among the one or more items for which it is confirmed that one display information is set, respectively. The server device 100 may determine a representative item including the first item and the second item in consideration of the priority among the one item for which one display information is set, and in this case, the priority related to the condition corresponding to the order number information is set higher than the priority related to the condition corresponding to the item rating information, so that the item for which the display information indicating that the condition corresponding to the order number information is satisfied may be preferentially determined as the representative item.

According to various embodiments, in operation 305, the server device 100 may provide information of the first store including representative image information.

For example, the information of the first store provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305 may include characteristic information of the first store together with image information about the first store. At this time, the characteristic information of the first store provided as the information of the first store may include various information such as information about the name of the first store, information about a plurality of users' evaluations of the first store service, information about the distance between the first store and the user, information about discount coupons that can be paid to users in the service for the first store, information indicating whether the first store corresponds to a store specializing in packaging, and/or information about delivery cost and expected delivery time to the user of the first store.

For example, when a user's input corresponding to information of the first store provided by the server device 100 is obtained in operation 305, the server device 100 may perform an operation of providing a store detail page of the first store in response to the obtained input.

In particular, when a user's input corresponding to image information of any one representative item included in representative image information among information of the first store provided by the server device 100 in accordance with operation 305 is obtained, the server device 100 may perform an operation of providing a store detail page of the first store in response to the obtained input, but may set information for recognizing that the user has inputted the one representative item in the provided store detail page.

For example, when a user's input corresponding to the first image information of the first item included in the representative image information is obtained from the information of the first store and the store detail page is provided, the server device 100 may include information indicating that the first item is an item corresponding to the first image information for which the user's input was obtained in information about the first item displayed on the provided store detail page. Information included in this way may correspond to information for highlighting the first item on the store detail page or information for displaying blinking of the first item on the store detail page. That is, when the user clicks the first image information of the first item included as representative image information in the information of the first store, information on the first item may be highlighted or blinked on a store detail page provided in response thereto.

Alternatively, as another example, when a user's input corresponding to the first image information of the first item included in the representative image information is obtained from the information of the first store and the store detail page is provided, the server device 100 may set information indicating that information on the first item may be displayed on a specific portion of the screen of the user device 200 on the provided store detail page. That is, when the user clicks the first image information of the first item included in the information of the first store as representative image information, a store detail page configured such that information on the first item is displayed on a specific portion of the screen of the user device 200 may be provided. The specific portion of the screen of the user device 200 where the information on the first item is displayed may include a portion such as an upper portion of the screen of the user device where it is determined that the user can immediately check the information on the first item.

For example, representative image information included in the information of the first store provided by the server device 100 according to operation 305 may be set based on a predetermined layout for arranging representative store image information for the first store, first image information of a first item determined as a representative item, and second image information of a second item determined as a representative item. That is, a layout in the form of appropriately arranging the three image information may be applied to the representative image information. In this case, the layout for the representative image information may include a border or an inner border between images of a specific color to distinguish that each image information to be included in the representative image information corresponds to different image information.

For example, a layout for representative image information included in information of a first store provided by the server device 100 in operation 305 may include various image display areas for arranging representative store image information for the first store, first image information of a first item determined as a representative item, and second image information of a second item determined as a representative item. For example, the layout may include one main image display area and a plurality of additional image display areas, and the size of the main image display area may be set larger than that of the additional image display area.

For example, the server device 100 may set representative image information by arranging one image to be emphasized in one main image display area and arranging images to be added in a plurality of additional image display areas.

For example, the server device 100 may set representative store image information for the first store to be disposed in one main image display area, and set first image information of a first item determined as a representative item and second image information of a second item determined as a representative item to be disposed in each of a plurality of additional image display areas. In this case, representative store image information may be set as the largest image and may be emphasized, and image information of each representative item may be set as a smaller image and added.

As another example, when the server device 100 identifies one item to be emphasized among representative items, image information of the corresponding one item may be set to be disposed in one main image display area. In this way, one item that the server device 100 determines to be emphasized among representative items may be identified based on a search frequency of a keyword corresponding to the corresponding one item.

That is, when the server device 100 acquires information on one or more keywords used by a plurality of users to search the first store on the service for the first item included in the representative item, if the search frequency based on at least one keyword corresponding to the name of the first item among the acquired one or more keywords is greater than or equal to a threshold number of times, the server device 100 may set the first image information of the first item to be disposed in one main image display area. If the name of the first item is famous and there are many cases in which a plurality of users search for the first item in the service and access the store detail page of the first store, it is necessary to emphasize the corresponding item. Therefore, the server device 100 sets the first image information of the first item to be disposed in one main image display area when the search frequency based on at least one keyword corresponding to the name of the first item is a threshold number of times, and displays the second image information of the second item, which is one of the representative items, and the representative store image information for the first store. It can be set to be disposed in each of the image display areas. The operation of such a server device may be summarized as shown in FIG. 5 .

5 is a diagram illustrating a method of setting representative image information such that image information of one of representative items is arranged in a main image display area by the server device 100 according to various embodiments.

First, the server device 100 may check a first item and a second item included in a representative item determined for representative image information on the first store (501). At this time, the server device 100 may obtain information on one or more keywords used by a plurality of users to search the first store on the service (503), and if the first search frequency based on at least one first keyword corresponding to the name of the first item among the acquired one or more keywords is greater than or equal to a threshold number of times, the first image information of the first item may be set to be disposed in the main image display area (505). When the first image information of the first item is arranged in the main image display area, the server device 100 may set the second image information of the second item, which is the other one of the representative items, and the representative store image information for the first store to be arranged in each of a plurality of additional image display areas (507).

If both the first item and the second item included in the representative item satisfy the above condition, that is, if the search frequency based on at least one keyword corresponding to the name of the first item among the one or more keywords acquired by the server device 100 and the search frequency based on at least one other keyword corresponding to the name of the second item are both equal to or greater than a threshold number of times, the server device 100 may set image information corresponding to an item with a greater number of orders among the first item and the second item to be disposed in one main image display area.

When both the search frequency based on at least one keyword corresponding to the name of the first item and the search frequency based on at least one other keyword corresponding to the name of the second item are equal to or greater than a threshold number of times, the server device 100 checks the number of orders of each item, sets one image information corresponding to an item with a high order number among the first item and the second item to be disposed in one main image display area, and sets the image information of each representative item except for the one image information and the representative store image information for the first store to a plurality of images. It can be set to be disposed in each of the additional image display areas.
