That is, for an order included in multiple orders, when a specific user corresponding to the order completes payment for the order, information about the specific user's participation in the first group order is provided to the leader user. It can be.

For example, when the delivery location is designated as a public delivery location, it is difficult to satisfy both the leader user and the general participant in the time taken for processing the group order, so the server device 100 receives the group order to the store. The expected time can be managed so that members of the group order can judge in advance.

As an example, the server device 100 can be set so that information about the group order can be received in the store at a certain time entered by the leader user after the leader user's payment, and each member of the group order can participate in the group order. Information can be provided to guide each member when participating. That is, the server device 100 sets the information about the first group order to be provided to the first store a certain time after payment for the first order of the first user, which is the leader user, and responds to the certain time. The time input value of the first user can be obtained. Thereafter, when the first user pays for the first order, the server device 100 may provide information about the first group order to the first store when a time corresponding to the time input value has elapsed. In addition, the server device 100 is set to provide information about the first group order to the first store when a time corresponding to the time input value has passed after payment for the first order of the first user. 1 Information can be provided to multiple users who participate as general participants in a group order.

As another example, the server device 100 may be set so that information about the group order can be received in the store at a scheduled time desired by the leader user after the leader user's payment, and when each member of the group order participates in the group order. Information to guide this can be provided to each member. That is, the server device 100 sets the information about the first group order to be provided to the first store at a scheduled time desired by the first user after payment for the first order by the first user, which is the leader user, and sets the information about the first group order to be provided to the first store. The first user's viewpoint input value corresponding to the viewpoint may be obtained. Thereafter, when the first user pays for the first order, the server device 100 may provide information about the first group order to the first store at the time corresponding to the time input value. In addition, the server device 100 provides second information about the fact that information about the first group order is set to be provided to the first store at a time corresponding to the time input value after payment for the first order of the first user. It can be provided to multiple users who participated as general participants in a group order.

For example, a problem may arise where other users incorrectly participate in a public group order created by the leader user, or some users may participate in the group order as a joke or for the purpose of disrupting the group order. there is. In order to prevent such problems, the server device 100 may apply an additional function to prevent participation in group orders by users who may incorrectly participate in group orders or may be judged to be unclear about the purpose of their participation. .

Specifically, when a specific user who wishes to participate in a public group order enters an entry to participate in a group order, the real-time location information of the specific user and/or information about the service access history of the specific user are checked. This allows you to manage the group order participation of the specific user.

As an example, with respect to a specific second user included in a plurality of users participating in a first group order created by a first user, who is a leader user, designating the first public delivery location within a certain area as the delivery location, 2 When the payment request information of the second user including the second order requested from the first store corresponding to the first group order is obtained by the server device 100 in order for the user to participate in the group order, the server device 100 ) may obtain second location information of the second user in response to payment request information. The server device 100 may process payment request information of the second user when it is confirmed that the second location information is included in a first delivery zone area corresponding to a first public delivery location within a certain area.

If the second location information is not included in the first delivery zone area corresponding to the first public delivery location within a certain area, the server device 100 determines whether the second user is a user participating in the first group order. It may be determined that the user needs to be confirmed, and based on this, confirmation request information confirming whether the user wants to participate in the first group order can be transmitted to the second user. Based on this operation, the server device 100 determines whether the second user can be picked up at the delivery location set for the group order through the location information of the second user, so that the server device 100 Can prevent the problem of the second user incorrectly participating in a group order.

As another example, with respect to a specific third user included in the plurality of users participating in the first group order created by the first user, who is the leader user, designating the first public delivery location within a certain area as the delivery location, When the third user's payment request information including the third order requested from the first store corresponding to the first group order is obtained by the server device 100 in order for the third user to participate in the group order, the server device ( 100) may obtain access history information for the third user's service in response to payment request information. If the server device 100 determines that the third user last accessed the service based on the access history information is within a certain period of time from the time the payment request information was obtained, the server device 100 provides the third user's payment request information. It can be handled.

If the time when the third user last accessed the service exceeds a certain period of time from the time the payment request information was obtained, the server device 100 is connected to the first group even though the third user does not frequently use the service. It may be determined that the user intends to participate in the order, and based on this, confirmation request information confirming whether the user intends to participate in the first group order may be transmitted to the third user. Additionally, the server device 100 may transmit information indicating that the third user with a long connection history intends to participate in a group order to the leader user. Based on this operation, the server device 100 confirms the access history information for the third user's service, so the server device 100 detects whether the third user participates in the group order as a joke or disrupts the group order. Problems of participation for such purposes can be prevented in the first place.

For example, in order to prevent indiscriminate or excessive participation of other users in the public first group order, the server device 100 may display a flag related to whether a function that allows other users of the service to participate in the public group order is activated. Setting information may be provided to the first user, who is the leader user, and whether to restrict participation in the first group order may be set based on the first user's input corresponding to the flag setting information. That is, the server device 100 provides the first user, who is the leader user, with a function to manage other users' participation in the first group order by activating or deactivating it, thereby allowing other users participating in the first group order to be managed by the first user. can be set to limit.

At this time, if the first user, who is the leader user, sets restrictions on other users participating in the first group order, it is necessary to inform the users already participating in the first group order. Accordingly, the server device 100 informs the members who participated in the first group order by paying for their respective orders at the first store that the first user, the leader user, has set a limit on other users participating in the first group order. information can be provided. Additionally, if the first user, who is the leader user, restricts the participation of other users in the first group order without the consent or permission of each member participating in the first group order, each member participating in the first group order may 1 You may be concerned that a problem has arisen with your group order. To this end, when the first user, who is the leader user, sets restrictions on other users participating in the first group order, the server device 100 allows each member who has already participated in the first group order to cancel his or her order and place the first group order. You may also provide cancellation information that allows you to no longer participate in group orders.

For example, when assigning a delivery person corresponding to a public group order, if the server device 100 determines that the group order satisfies certain conditions and requires separate delivery person allocation management, the server device 100 manages the delivery person corresponding to the group order. You can set information.

As an example, for a public first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his or her order, the total number of orders included in the first group order is greater than or equal to the first threshold number. If the first condition is met, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery person allocation management is required for the first group orders.

As another example, for a public first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his order, the quantity of ordered items according to all orders included in the first group order is If the second condition of being more than the second threshold number is met, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery worker allocation management is required for the first group of orders.

As another example, for a public first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his or her order, the third condition is that the total payment amount of the first group order is greater than or equal to the threshold amount. If this is met, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery person allocation management is required for the first group order.

As another example, with respect to the first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his order, the server device 100 determines at least one of the first to third conditions. If one condition is met, it can be set that separate delivery worker allocation management is required for the first group of orders.

That is, the total number of orders included in the public group order is more than a certain number, the total quantity of ordered items according to all orders included in the public group order is more than a certain quantity, or the total payment amount of the public group order is more than a certain number. If the amount exceeds this certain amount, it can be expected that it will be difficult for one delivery person to perform deliveries corresponding to public group orders at once, so the store can also convey information to manage the delivery so that delivery can be performed smoothly.

The delivery person management information that the server device 100 sets for separate delivery person allocation management may include various information to facilitate delivery of public group orders.

For example, the delivery person management information may include information instructing to assign a delivery person equipped with a transportation means capable of delivering items of a certain quantity or weight, such as a vehicle or bicycle, to group orders. If a delivery person equipped with a means of transportation capable of delivering items of a certain quantity or a certain weight or more is assigned for a group order through such delivery person management information, the server device 100 is responsible for the leader user and each general participant included in the group order. When providing delivery information to a person, information informing that delivery corresponding to a group order is performed according to the delivery person's means of transportation can be set to be included in the delivery information.

As another example, delivery person management information may include information instructing to allocate two or more delivery persons for group orders. If a plurality of delivery workers are assigned to a group order through such delivery man management information, the server device 100 provides delivery guidance information to the leader user and each general participant included in the group order, to the plurality of delivery men. Information informing that delivery corresponding to a group order is performed, information about the estimated time when each of the plurality of deliverymen arrives at the delivery location, identification information including contact information for each of the plurality of deliverymen, etc. are included in the delivery information information. It can be set to be included. In addition, when delivery corresponding to a group order is performed by a plurality of delivery people, the delivery cost initially set for the group order can be set to be provided to all of the plurality of delivery people, and the server device 100 adds the amount to the leader user accordingly. You can also send guidance information and request information about delivery costs.

As another example, the delivery person management information may include information about additional incentives that the server device 100 provides for delivery persons of group orders. In the case of group orders, the delivery burden is greater than that of a single order due to the large number of ordered items, so the server device 100 can be set to provide additional incentives for delivery of group orders, and information about such additional incentives is provided. It may be included in delivery person management information.

Meanwhile, in addition to becoming a leader user and creating a public group order, the first user in FIG. 3 can also participate in a public group order created by another user as a leader user. For the convenience of operation of the first user, the server device 100 may provide information about a public group order with the first public delivery location set as the delivery address by the first user within a certain area as the delivery location. there is.

Specifically, the server device 100 can confirm one or more public group orders that have set the first public delivery location set as the delivery address by the first user in a certain area as the delivery address, and can place group orders as general participants on the service. If there is an input from the first user to participate, information about the one or more public group orders may be provided to the first user. At this time, if the first user inputs an input to select a specific second group order included in the one or more public group orders, the server device 100 opens a page containing various information for participating in the second group order. can be provided to the first user.
