For example, when the user purchases' fresh milk '[item: milk (maker A)] and' low fat milk '[item: milk (maker B)], the control unit 110' Low fat milk 'are regarded as similar products of the same kind, and the two purchased items,' fresh milk 'and' low fat milk 'can be integrated into one database' milk '.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of calculating a remaining consumption period based on a purchase history of a currently recognized product by the
Referring to FIG. 4, when the product information is received from the
Here, the predetermined period may be a period from the day when the purchase of the article corresponding to the product information occurred before the nth to the current date based on the current date.
That is, when the item corresponding to the currently received product information is 'milk', and when the user's purchase of 'milk' is as shown in [Table], if the predetermined number n is '3' , It may be determined that the first day of the 12/1 period in which the 'milk' purchase occurred before the third day based on the current date. Accordingly, the purchase history of the 'milk' from the 12/1 to the present (12/7) can be extracted in the step S400.
On the other hand, if the purchase history information is extracted in step S400, the
Here, the 'unit standard' may be a reference unit preset by a user for an article corresponding to the product information. Or the unit criterion may be determined according to the unit in which the user normally purchases the article. Here, the unit criterion may be determined according to a unit in which the user purchases the product most or a unit that purchases the article on average, as a result of analyzing the article database.
For example, when the user purchases the 'milk', if the user purchases the milk with the 900 ml capacity as the largest unit, the
Meanwhile, the 'per-unit-per-unit consumption period' may be a period in which the period from the purchase history to the next purchase is divided by the unit basis for the predetermined period. That is, assuming that the
On the other hand, in the case of 12/5 where the next purchase occurred, since the 'milk' purchase has not occurred at present, the consumption period per unit standard may not be calculated.
On the other hand, if consumption periods per unit standard are calculated each time a purchase of the article occurs for a preset period based on the current date, the
On the other hand, when the average consumption period is calculated as described above, the

For example, the first threshold period may be a period arbitrarily set by a user with a value of '0' or more. For example, the first threshold period may be set to '1'. If the calculated remaining consumption period is less than one day, the
On the other hand, if it is determined that the article corresponding to the recognized product information is necessary (S502), the
Here, the average value of the goods may mean an average price of the goods purchased by the user for a preset period of time corresponding to the recognized product information. Alternatively, the
If the price of the article according to the extracted price information is less than or equal to the average value of the article as a result of the price comparison in step S506, the
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S506 that the price of the article according to the extracted price information exceeds the average value of the article, the
The step S510 may further include determining whether the price of the article is equal to or greater than a second threshold value. Here, the second threshold may be a value obtained by multiplying the highest price among the prices of the goods purchased by the user corresponding to the recognized product information by one or more numbers (for example, 1.3) Lt; / RTI > If the price of the article is equal to or higher than the second threshold value, the
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S500 that the remaining consumption period is not less than the preset first threshold period (or more), the
Here, the first threshold value is calculated by multiplying the lowest price among the prices of the goods purchased by the user corresponding to the recognized product information by a number of 1 or less (for example, '0.8') for a predetermined period It can be price. If the price of the article is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S518 that the price of the article according to the extracted price information exceeds the preset first threshold value, the
The step S518 may further include a step of determining whether the currently calculated residual consumption period is equal to or greater than a predetermined second threshold period. The second threshold period may be a period arbitrarily set by the user. Alternatively, the second threshold period may be a period calculated by multiplying the average consumption period calculated in FIG. 4 by one or more.
If the current remaining consumption period is equal to or longer than the second threshold period, the
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S508, S512 or S520 that the article is recommended, the
