FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an item list screen of an area shopping system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The shopping method provided by the present invention is applicable to a regional shopping system consisting of at least one front end server and at least one display device. The front-end server stores a plurality of address records, a predetermined departure time, a plurality of product information, and a plurality of estimated delivery times corresponding to the product information. Moreover, the display device is connected to the front end server according to one of the address records, and the predetermined departure time is coupled to the address record corresponding to the display device.

In the following embodiments, the above-mentioned regional shopping system is, for example, disposed in a medical institution, and each address record includes, for example, an area covered by a front-end server (for example, including multiple campuses or in the same campus). Multiple buildings in the building), department, floor, room number and bed number. However, in other embodiments, the regional shopping system may also be located in a hotel chain, hotel, resort, or health check center. In this case, each address record may include only the area, floor, and room number covered by the front-end server, and does not need to include the department and the bed number. Furthermore, since the medical institution (or chain restaurant, hotel, resort or health check-up center) usually registers the number of days of stay in the hospitalized patient (or consumer), the front-end server can also store the hospital in advance. Patient (or consumer) scheduled departure Go time.

In addition, the front-end server may have a plurality of ports, and the display device is, for example, disposed in front of a certain bed in the area covered by the front-end server, and may be connected to the front end via a wired network communication connected to one of the ports. server. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the display device can also be connected to the front-end server via a wireless network or a mobile communication technology. The following is a detailed description of a regional shopping system installed in a medical institution.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a shopping method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the shopping method provided by the present invention includes the following steps. First, as shown in block S110, the hospitalized patient may first select a product information through an input interface such as a mouse, a keyboard, a mouse, a trackball, a touchpad, and a touch screen of the display device. Next, as shown in block S120, the front-end server compares the scheduled departure time of the hospitalized patient with the estimated delivery time of the product information, wherein the estimated delivery time is, for example, a system maintainer and product using the regional shopping system. The delivery period agreed by the supplier in advance. Then, as shown in block S130, if the front-end server determines that the predetermined departure time is later than the estimated delivery time, the front-end server sets the predetermined delivery location directly to the address record corresponding to the display device (also scheduled to be handed over) The location of the goods is set to the area, department, floor, room number and bed number where the hospitalized patient lives. Therefore, inpatients do not need to ask for or check the detailed address of their location, nor do they need to ask the caregiver to order, so they can receive the products they need before they leave the hospital.

More specifically, some products (such as meals) are not only often purchased for hospitalized patients, but also cannot be obtained after discharge. For example, many hospitalized patients simply don't have to go out to buy out-of-hospital meals, don't want to specifically inquire or ask for the detailed address of the medical institution, and don't want to trouble the nursing staff to order the off-site meals, so they have to order the meals provided by the hospital. Come to eat. However, if the above-mentioned regional shopping system is installed in a medical institution, the hospitalized patient can easily use the above shopping method to order an off-site meal to the hospital. In this way, not only can the burden on the nursing staff be reduced, but also the satisfaction of the hospitalized patients and the off-site meal suppliers can be improved.

It is worth noting that, in some embodiments, to the front end server A small number of different address records can link different product information. For example, the above-mentioned regional shopping system can be applied to medical institutions having at least two different wards, such as a "pediatric ward" and an "infectious ward". At this time, the display device installed in the "pediatric ward" can only link product information of baby articles such as children's books and toys to restrict product information that children can access. In contrast, display devices installed in the "infected ward" can link more product information, and can even link product information that is more relevant to their medical behavior, so as to improve the exposure and advertising effectiveness of related products. In addition, the time for meals to be served in different restaurants may vary. For example, soy milk shops may only serve breakfast and dinner, breakfast shops may only serve breakfast and lunch, while Chinese food and beverage outlets may only serve lunch and dinner. Therefore, the information of the products linked to the various address records stored in the front-end server may be different in different time periods, so that the hospitalized patients can only view specific product information at a specific time point.

In addition, in some specific embodiments, in order to prevent hospitalized patients from ordering dinner near the dinner time, the corresponding product supplier has no time to supply the product, and the front-end server can also select the product information after the hospitalized patient selects the device via the display device. Determine if the order time is later than the specific time (that is, the latest order time). If so, the front-end server will directly delay the estimated delivery time. That is to say, if the hospitalized patient orders the meal near the dinner time (for example, 17:30), the front-end server will directly delay the estimated delivery time to the next meal meal (for example, day and night, At noon on the next day or dinner time).

2 is a flow chart showing a shopping method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the shopping method described in this embodiment is similar to the shopping method described in FIG. 1, and the difference is mainly that the shopping method described in this embodiment further includes the block S230. The added partial steps and all the steps recited in blocks S240 and S250. In addition, the steps described in blocks S210 and S220 in FIG. 2 are substantially the same as those described in blocks S110 and S120 in FIG. 1, and thus will not be described again.

Briefly, in this embodiment, as shown in block S240, if the front-end server determines that the predetermined departure time is earlier than the estimated delivery time, the display device will display the input. Enter an input field for at least one of the recipient's name, the selected delivery location, and the phone number. Even in some embodiments, the input field displayed by the display device is more useful for inputting specifications of the selected product information (eg, large, medium, small, weight, capacity, etc.), selected delivery time (eg, when At least one of the number of hospitalized patients who wish delivery time is later than the estimated delivery time. In other words, if the front-end server determines that the hospitalized patient should not receive the product ordered before discharge, the hospitalized patient can fill in the selected delivery location and contact information via the display device so that they can After leaving the hospital, the selected delivery location will receive the products it needs.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in block S230, if the front-end server determines that the predetermined departure time is later than the estimated delivery time, the display device may also display the name of the recipient, the selected delivery location, and The input field of at least one of the phone numbers. In this way, the hospitalized patients can not only pre-deliver the ordered products in the medical institution to their selected out-of-home delivery location, but also can also order the products supplied by the regional shopping system for others.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in block S250, after the product information is selected via the display device, the display device may further display an item list of the selected product information for confirmation by the hospitalized patient. The list of purchased products may include at least the name, quantity, total price, scheduled delivery location or selected delivery location of the selected product information, and the estimated delivery time or the selected delivery time. Even in some embodiments, the list of purchased merchandise displayed by the display device may further include a picture of the selected product information and a unit price. Alternatively, in some embodiments, as shown in block S250, after selecting product information via the display device or displaying the list of purchased products via the display device, the display device may further display a list of payment methods. The payment method list may include at least one of payment methods such as cash on delivery, online transfer, online credit card, personal stored value account deduction and counter payment.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a shopping method according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the shopping method described in this embodiment is similar to the shopping method described in FIG. 2, and the difference between the two is mainly the quantity of product information selected and the judgment criterion of the estimated delivery time. In addition, the blocks S330, S340 and S350 in Figure 3 The steps described in the steps are substantially the same as those described in blocks S230, S240, and S250 in FIG. 2, and thus will not be described again.

Briefly, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, as long as one product information is selected, the front end server will compare the predetermined departure time with the estimated delivery time corresponding to the product information. In contrast, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the front-end server compares the predetermined departure time with the estimated delivery time corresponding to the product information after the plurality of product information is selected. one of. That is to say, in this embodiment, when the estimated delivery times of the plurality of products provided by the same product supplier are different, the front-end server can compare the reservations after the hospitalized patients order the products together. The departure time and the latest estimated delivery time, so that the product supplier can deliver these products to the inpatients at the same time. In this way, not only can the product suppliers be shipped, but also the hospitalized patients can save shipping costs.

In addition, in order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand how the present invention may be implemented, a plurality of embodiments will be further described below to explain the manner in which the above shopping method is presented. In the following embodiments, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an initial screen image of a regional shopping system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 illustrates a shopping page of a regional shopping system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
