Hereinafter, various embodiments will be described in more detail based on the above technical idea. The above-described contents may be applied to various embodiments described below. For example, operations, functions, and terms that are not defined in various embodiments described below may be performed and described based on the contents described above.

In the following description, various embodiments will be described on the premise that the server device 100 performs a service-related information providing operation, and according to various embodiments, a user device that obtains service-related information from the server device 100 200 may output service-related information.

According to FIG. 3, the server device 100 checks at least one store on the service (301), and determines whether a first store included in the at least one store corresponds to a specific store that satisfies one or more conditions related to the service. It is determined whether or not the first store is a specific store (303), and when the first store is a specific store, information on the first store together with icon information related to the specific store may be provided to the user's terminal (305).

According to various embodiments, in operation 301, the server device 100 may check at least one store.

For example, at least one store identified by the server device 100 according to operation 301 may correspond to a store that sells and delivers items through a service provided by the server device 100 for delivery mediation.

For example, an item sold and delivered by at least one store identified by the server device 100 according to operation 301 may correspond to a food item. Here, the food item may be understood as having the same meaning as various other terms representing items related to food, such as dishes, food menus, or meals, and stores that sell and deliver food items sell food items such as stores, shops, and restaurants. It can be understood as having the same meaning as various other terms indicating a place where it can be done.

For example, a plurality of users using a service for brokerage delivery may input an order request for ordering an item through a store within the service, and the store checks the order request input through the service and places an order in response thereto. items can be prepared. When the preparation of the ordered item is completed, the store inputs a delivery request in the corresponding service, and when the delivery request is confirmed, the delivery person delivers the ordered item.

According to various embodiments, in operation 303, the server device 100 may determine whether a first store included in at least one store corresponds to a specific store that satisfies one or more service-related conditions.

For example, a store that satisfies one or more conditions related to a service may satisfy conditions related to order requests from users on the service, satisfy conditions related to evaluations by users, or conditions related to responding to order requests from users. It may be a store that satisfies one or more conditions related to convenience provided to a plurality of users using the service. In this way, a specific store that satisfies one or more conditions related to the service may be determined by the server device 100 as a higher store among a plurality of stores linked to the service.

For example, one or more conditions for determining whether the first store corresponds to a specific store may include a condition determined based on an acceptance rate of the first store for order requests of a plurality of users using the service. . A plurality of users using the service may order an item from the first store through the service, and the store may prepare the item by confirming and accepting the order request including information on the item. If the store rejects the user's order request, the order request is canceled, and if the store's acceptance rate for the item's order request is confirmed above a certain level so that the store does not reject the user's order request without any other reason, the store It can be determined that corresponds to a specific store.

For example, one or more conditions for determining whether the first store corresponds to a specific store may include a condition determined based on feedback information provided about the first store by a plurality of service users. Here, the feedback information provided by the user about the store is a review written by a user who requested an order from the store and received the item delivered, taking into account items provided by the store or other service-related matters such as how the store responds to the user. Information or assigned rating information may be included. For example, the server device 100 may determine that the store corresponds to a specific store when the number of review information of the store is greater than or equal to a certain number or the rating information of the store is greater than or equal to a certain number of points.

For example, the one or more conditions for determining whether the first store corresponds to a specific store may include a condition determined based on an average order preparation time of the first store for order requests from a plurality of users using the service. can Here, the average order preparation time may mean an average value of time required for the store to prepare an item corresponding to the order request for a plurality of order requests acquired from a plurality of users, and a certain period or a certain number of order requests. It may be a value obtained by averaging times required to prepare a requested item corresponding to . For example, the server device 100 may determine that the store corresponds to a specific store when the average order preparation time of the store is within a predetermined time.

The average order preparation time of the first store may be determined according to the time required for the first store to prepare various items in response to an order request for various items sold in the first store. The server device 100 may check information on one or more items sold in the first store in order to determine the average order preparation time of the first store, and determine the average preparation time required for each of the one or more items. The average order preparation time of the first store may be determined by summarizing the above. That is, the server device 100 may check information on each item sold by the first store with respect to the first store and determine information about an average preparation time required for the first store to prepare each item. An average order preparation time for the entire first store may be determined by integrating the average preparation time of each determined item. For example, the average order preparation time of the first store may be determined as an average of average preparation times of each item sold by the first store.

At this time, the preparation time required for the first store to prepare each item in response to the order request corresponds to the time from the time the order request is obtained to the time the delivery request of the first store is obtained in response to the order request. can That is, when the first order request of the first user for the first item included in one or more items sold by the first store is obtained, the server device 100 determines a first time point when the first order request is obtained. can In addition, when the first store confirming the first order request completes preparation of the item and obtains the first delivery request in response to the first order request, a second point in time at which the first delivery request is obtained can confirm. Based on this, the server device 100 may perform an operation of determining the time between the first time point and the second time point as the preparation time of the first store for the first item.

First, the server device 100 may check when a user's order request for an item is acquired (401). Here, the time when the user's order request for the item is acquired may mean the time when the user completes payment for the item or the time when the order for the item is completed.

Then, when the store confirms the order request and completes the preparation of the item, the store may input a delivery request of the store corresponding to the user's order request in order to deliver the item to the user through the service, and the server device 100 may check the time when the input delivery request is obtained (403).

The server device 100 confirming the time when the user's order request is obtained and the time when the store's delivery request is obtained may calculate the time difference between the two time points and determine the calculated time as the preparation time of the item (405). .

The server device 100 may perform an operation of determining the preparation time for the first item as shown in FIG. 4 for each order request for the first item of various users, and determine the preparation time for the first item. In sum, an average preparation time for the first item in the first store may be determined. In particular, for this purpose, the server device 100 may designate a certain period or a specific time interval for determining the average preparation time, and the preparation time of the first item corresponding to the plurality of order requests obtained in the specified period or time interval. It is possible to determine the average preparation time of the first item by synthesizing the above. Here, the predetermined period for determining the average preparation time may mean a period of days during which a significant number of order requests for the first item, such as one day, one week, or one month, can be obtained.

In addition, the specific time period for determining the average preparation time may mean a time period during which order requests are concentrated, such as a lunch time period or an evening time period. Alternatively, the business hours of the first store that sells the first item are divided into a plurality of unit time intervals, and the number of order requests for the first store is calculated in each unit time, in order of highest number of orders. A specific time interval for determining the average preparation time may be set to include some unit time. That is, the specific time interval may be set to include a specific number of unit time intervals in the order of the highest number of order requests for the first item among a plurality of unit time intervals included in the business time interval of the first store. For example, when the business hours of the first store are divided into hourly units, 11:00 to 12:00 and 12:00 to 13:00 corresponding to lunch time and 17:00 to 18 corresponding to dinner time In the case of :00 and 18:00~19:00, there will be more order requests from users for Store 1 than other time zones, so 11:00~13:00 and 17:00~19:00 as a specific time zone. can be set

That is, the server device 100 determines the average preparation time of the first item based on the preparation time of the first item determined with respect to the plurality of order requests obtained for the first item during a specific time period within a predetermined period. In this case, the specific time interval includes one or more unit time intervals, and the one or more unit time intervals are stored in the first store among a plurality of unit time intervals included in the business time interval of the first store. It may be set to include a specific number of unit time intervals in the order of the highest order request. To this end, the server device 100 may obtain information about the number of order requests for the first store for each unit time interval from the first store.

Additionally, when the specific time interval for determining the average preparation time is set to include a specific number of unit time intervals, the item category including the items sold by the first store is considered considering the characteristics of the items sold by the first store. A specific number of unit time intervals may be set to be included in the specific time interval in order of order requests for a plurality of stores related to . Depending on the characteristics of the items sold by each store, the business hours of each store and the time zone during which order requests from multiple users using the service are concentrated may differ. After determining at what time zone users' order requests are concentrated in consideration of the characteristics of the item, the determined time zone is applied to the first store, and the average for the first item in the first store is obtained according to the order requests obtained in the determined time zone. Preparation time can be judged.

For example, if the first item is a chicken food item and the first store is a store that sells chicken food items, the server device 100 considers the characteristics of the chicken food item and selects a dinner or night time zone rather than a lunch time zone. The specific time interval may be set to be included. At this time, in order to determine the time zone where order requests are concentrated according to the characteristics of the food item, the server device 100 obtains information on the number of order requests for each unit time section for various stores selling chicken food items on the service. action can be performed. If it is determined based on the information obtained in this way that a plurality of users' order requests for chicken food items in a plurality of stores are concentrated, the server device 100 determines that the corresponding time period is the average preparation of the first item in the first store. It can be set to be included in a specific time interval for determining the time.

On the other hand, when two or more items are included in the order request, unlike one item, the preparation time of each item may be different. The number of items can be considered.

That is, a third point in time at which a second order request from a second user for a plurality of items including a second item among one or more items sold by the first store is obtained and the first store corresponding to the second order request. When the server device 100 confirms the fourth time point at which the second delivery request is obtained, the server device 100 calculates the time between the third time point and the fourth time point as the total preparation of the first store for the plurality of items. The time is determined, but the preparation time of the second item may be differently determined according to the number of items that can be simultaneously prepared in the first store.

If the number of items included in the second order request is less than or equal to the number of items that the first store can prepare at the same time, the waiting time required to prepare the second item as the first store prepares another item first, or Since the required waiting time will not be spent after the first store prepares the second item until another item is prepared, the total preparation time of the first store for a plurality of items can be determined as the preparation time of the second item. there is.

On the other hand, if the number of items included in the second order request is greater than the number of items that the first store can prepare at the same time, the waiting time required to prepare the second item or the first store as the first store prepares other items first After the store first prepares the second item, a necessary waiting time may be required until another item is prepared. In order to determine an appropriate preparation time for the second item by correcting the required waiting time, the server device 100 converts the number of items included in the second order request into the number of items that the first store can simultaneously prepare. An operation of determining the divided value and determining the time obtained by dividing the total preparation time of the first store for the plurality of items by the checked value as the preparation time of the second item is performed. Through this operation, the server device 100 may determine an approximate preparation time of the second item among the total preparation times of the first store for a plurality of items.

First, the server device 100 may check when a user's order request for a plurality of items is acquired (501). Here, the time when the user's order request for the plurality of items is acquired may mean the time when the user completes payment for the plurality of items to order the items or the time when the order of the plurality of items is completed.

Then, when the store confirms the order request and completes the preparation of the plurality of items, the store may input a delivery request of the store corresponding to the user's order request in order to deliver the plurality of items to the user through the service. The device 100 may check when the input delivery request is acquired (503).

The server device 100 confirming when the user's order request is obtained and when the store's delivery request is obtained calculates the time difference between the two points in time and determines the calculated time as the total preparation time for the plurality of items. Yes (505).

At this time, the server device 100 may check information on the number of items that can be prepared at the same time by the store in order to determine the preparation time of any one of the plurality of prepared items (507), if included in the order request.
