4 is a view for schematically explaining the detailed configuration of the start alarm providing unit 165 of the information management unit 160 of FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 4, the start alarm providing unit 165 may include a calculating unit 165-1, an alarm providing unit 165-2, and a notification unit 165-3.

The calculator 165-1 may calculate the first to third hours in response to receiving the first time option selection signal from the first terminal 200. The first time may include a travel time from the current location of the first user equipped with the first terminal 200 to the dealer. For example, if the distance from the current location of the first user equipped with the first terminal 200 to the dealership is 1 km, the calculation unit 165-1 is the first time on the premise that the normal user moves at 4 km per hour. Can be calculated in 15 minutes. Therefore, when the payment completion time of the first user is 15:00, the time when the first user arrives at the dealership is 15:15. The calculation of the first time of the calculation unit 165-1 may vary depending on the age of the first user, based on the information related to the first user stored in the database 150, the first user in their 20s is the first in their 60s Since the first time may be shorter than that of the user, the first time may be calculated in consideration of this.

The second time may include a manufacturing time of a product or a preparation time of a product required by the second user corresponding to the product order signal of the first user. Since the database 150 stores time information required for manufacturing per product and / or time required to prepare one product, which is input by a second user for each vendor, the calculation unit 165-1 is a database A second time may be calculated based on (150). For example, the product order signal is 3 cups of ice latte and 2 cups of cappuccino, the time required to manufacture one cup of ice latte stored in the database 150 is 3 minutes, and the time required to manufacture one cup of cappuccino is 2 minutes. In this case, the calculation unit 165-1 may calculate the second time as 13 minutes. The calculation of the second time of the calculation unit 165-1 may vary for each vendor. For example, the second user of the seller A may take 1 minute and 30 seconds to manufacture a cup of cappuccino, and the second user of the seller B may spend 2 minutes to manufacture a cup of cappuccino, and the database 150 ), Since the time required for product preparation or product preparation for each vendor is stored differently, the calculator 165-1 can calculate the second time for each vendor based on the database 150.

The third time is a time obtained by adding the time information for the first user to complete payment or the time for the second terminal 300 to receive the order alarm to the result of the subtraction of the first to second hours. This may include substantially the time to start manufacturing or preparing the product. For example, if the first time is 15 minutes, the second time is 13 minutes, and the time information at which the first user has completed the payment or the time when the second terminal 300 receives the order alarm is 15 o'clock, the calculation unit ( 165-1) can calculate the third time as 15:02 (15 minutes-13 minutes + 15 hours). The alarm providing unit 165-2 provides the third time received from the calculating unit 165-1 as the start alarm to the second terminal 300, and the second time of the second terminal 300 to receive the start alarm. The user may start manufacturing or preparing the product, and either complete the preparation of the product or complete the preparation of the product at the same time as the first user arrives at the seller or just before the first user arrives at the seller.

Also, the calculator 165-1 may calculate the fourth to sixth hours in response to receiving the second time option selection signal from the first terminal 200. The fourth time may include the delayed travel time, which is the sum of the delay time received according to the selection of the second time option and the travel time from the current location of the first user equipped with the first terminal 200 to the dealer. . That is, the calculation unit 165-1 may calculate the time obtained by adding the delay time and the first time as the fourth time. For example, if the delay time received according to the selection of the second time option is 20 minutes and the first time is 15 minutes, the calculator 165-1 may calculate 35 minutes as the fourth time. Therefore, when the payment completion time of the first user is 15:00, the time when the first user arrives at the dealership is 15:35. The fifth time may include the manufacturing time of the product or the preparation time of the product required by the second user corresponding to the product order signal of the first user. Since the same as the second time described above, the following description will be omitted. do.

The sixth time is the time obtained by adding the time information for the first user to complete payment or the time for the second terminal 300 to receive the order alarm to the result of the subtraction of the fourth to fifth hours. This may include substantially the time to start manufacturing or preparing the product. For example, if the fourth time is 35 minutes, the fifth time is 13 minutes, and the time information at which the first user has completed payment or the time when the second terminal 300 receives the order alarm is 15:00, the calculation unit ( 165-1) can be calculated as the sixth hour at 15:22 (35 minutes-13 minutes + 15 hours).
