In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions over several aspects.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to easily implement the present invention.

1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a restaurant recommendation server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the restaurant recommendation server 100 of the present invention includes a communication unit 110, a processor 120, and a database 130, and in some cases, a database 130, unlike FIG. May not be included. In this case, the processor 120 of the control server 100 may communicate with the database 130 through the communication unit 110.

First, the communication unit 110 of the restaurant recommendation server 100 may be implemented with various communication technologies. In other words, Wi-Fi, WCDMA (Wideband CDMA), HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), Mobile WiMAX, WiBro , Long Term Evolution (LTE), Bluetooth, infrared data association (IrDA), Near Field Communication (NFC), Zigbee, WLAN technology, etc. may be applied. In addition, when a service is provided by being connected to the Internet, TCP/IP, which is a standard protocol for information transmission on the Internet, may be followed, or a Global Positioning System (GPS) technology may be used.

Next, as will be described later, the database 130 of the present invention may store matching information for each food category, and the processor 120 may access the database 130 through the communication unit 110. The processor 120 will be described in detail later through detailed description.

On the other hand, the processor 120 of the restaurant recommendation server 100 of the present invention may communicate with the user's portable terminal and the operator's portable terminal through the communication unit 110.

For reference, the user terminal 200 is a digital device including a function capable of performing communication, and is equipped with a memory means such as a mobile phone, a tablet PC, etc. Any device may be adopted as the terminal 200 according to the present invention. In particular, the user terminal 200 may include a restaurant recommendation service providing program (application) covered in the present invention.

2 is a diagram sequentially showing a process of transmitting information on a recommended restaurant according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a diagram illustrating a state in which matching information between food categories is stored in a database according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, it can be assumed that there are a plurality of food categories, and the plurality of food categories includes a first food category and a second food category.

For reference, the plurality of food categories may include various food types such as Korean, Western, Chinese, and Chimaek. Each of the plurality of food categories includes a plurality of foods, and there will be a plurality of restaurants that sell them.

In addition, it may be assumed that the second food category is a food category recommended after the first food category is consumed, and the first food category and the second food category match each other.

Specifically, in the present invention, after eating food, it is intended to provide a service for recommending another food. Accordingly, when the user wants to eat another food after eating the food included in the first food category, the second food category can be used.

The database 130 may include matching information of the first food category and the second food category. This will be described below together with FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the first food category is'Korean food', the second food category is matched with'complete collection (makgeolli)' and recorded in the database 130. In addition, when the first food category is'Western', the second food category is matched with'Chimaek' and'Coffee' and recorded in the database 130.

Specifically, any one food category may be matched with a food category to be consumed next, and the matching information may be previously stored in the database 130.

In this case, there is only one food category in the first food category, but a plurality of food categories (eg, chimaek, coffee, etc.) may exist in the second food category that can be consumed next. This is because a variety of options can be provided to the user who ate any one food.

In addition, matching information recorded in the database 130 may be different according to users. This is because each person has various tastes, so the food recommended for each user (the second food category) is also inevitably different.

Specifically, the processor 120 of the restaurant recommendation server 100 may display matching information for each of a plurality of food categories stored in the database 130 on the user terminal 200.

In addition, the processor 120 may update the matching information according to the user's personal information obtained from the user terminal 200 or a user input, and the updated matching information will be the user-specific matching information.

Here, the personal information may include at least one of a variety of information such as the user's age, gender, residence, preferred materials, disliked materials, desired price range, and nutritional level.

For example, when the age of the user is over 60 and the first food category is Korean, food categories such as Korean food and raw fish restaurants may be designated for the second food category. In addition, when the user is a woman and the first food category is Western, a food category such as coffee may be designated for the second food category.

Also, when the user lives in a city near the sea, the processor 120 may designate the second food category as a food category such as a sushi restaurant regardless of the first food category.

In addition, when it is determined that the user's health status is high in blood pressure, the processor 120 may designate the second food category as a food category such as a traditional tea house regardless of the first food category. Here, the information on the health state may be obtained directly from the user terminal 200 or may be obtained by the processor 120 from an external server (eg, hospital, insurance company, etc.).

In addition, the processor 120 may allow the user to directly modify the matching information recorded in the database 130 through the user terminal 200.

In a state in which matching information for each of the plurality of food categories is recorded in the database 130, it may be assumed that the user has consumed a first specific food (eg, pizza, chicken, kimchi stew, etc.).

In this case, the processor 120 may acquire information on the first specific food consumed by the user, and acquire first specific food category information on the first specific food based on this (S210).

That is, if the first specific food consumed by the user was'Doenjang Stew,' the processor 120 may acquire Korean food category information including'Doenjang Stew'.

Further, the processor 120 may derive a second specific food category that can be consumed after the first specific food based on the first specific category information and the specific matching information.

That is, based on the matching information recorded in the database 130, it is possible to derive a food category that can be consumed next to'Doenjang stew'.

In addition, the processor 120 may transmit restaurant information corresponding to the second specific food category to the user terminal 200 (S220).

Specifically, a food category may include a plurality of foods, and restaurants corresponding thereto may be more diverse. Therefore, even if the second specific food category is determined, a restaurant related thereto must be newly determined. In this regard, it will be described together with FIG. 4.

4 is a diagram illustrating a process of deriving a restaurant from the same food category according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, it can be assumed that the second specific food category is derived (S410). Next, it may be possible to derive (S430) a restaurant corresponding to a predetermined condition among restaurants corresponding to the second specific food category.

In this case, various factors such as business hours, number of group members, evaluation scores, distance between users from restaurants, personal information, and nutrition/health may be included under predetermined conditions. The above elements will be described later by way of example.

First, it can be assumed that business hours information of a plurality of restaurants is recorded in the database 130 in relation to business hours, and that the processor 120 acquires information about the current time.

In this case, the processor 120 may transmit information about restaurants operating from the current time to a time point elapsed from the current time among the restaurants corresponding to the second specific food category to the user terminal 200.

For example, if the current time is 10 p.m., the processor 120 may transmit information on restaurants operating until a point in time (12 o'clock) after a predetermined time (ex 2 hours) has passed to the user terminal 200. This is because there is no need to recommend a restaurant that is short of business hours.

Here, the predetermined time may vary depending on the distance between the user and the restaurant. Specifically, if the distance between the user and the restaurant is quite long (ex 3 km or more), the predetermined time will require a longer time (ex 3 hours). Conversely, if the distance between the user and the restaurant is a short distance (ex 1 km or less), a shorter time (ex 2 hours) may be required for the predetermined time. This is because the time it takes for the user to reach the restaurant is considered.

In addition, as another embodiment, a specific restaurant may be derived in consideration of an evaluation score. For each of the plurality of restaurants, users can rate a review or evaluation score.

The processor 120 may arrange restaurants corresponding to the second specific food category based on the evaluation score, and transmit the same to the user terminal 200 for display.

Unlike the above, it may be possible to transmit and display only information on restaurants within a certain ranking (ex 3rd ranking) among the arranged restaurants to the user terminal 200.

In addition, as another embodiment, a specific restaurant may be derived based on the number of people included in the user's group. The processor 120 may first receive information on the number of people included in the user's group from the user terminal 200.

Next, the processor 120 may transmit, to the user terminal 200, restaurant information capable of accommodating the number of restaurants among restaurants corresponding to the second specific food category.

In addition, the processor 120 may derive a specific restaurant according to not only the number of people, but also whether a room exists or whether it is sedentary, and may transmit information about this to the user terminal 200.

Up to this point, the service that recommends the second food after eating the first food has been described. The present invention may include not only a service for recommending secondary food, but also a service for recommending 3rd and 4th food.

Specifically, after the user consumes food (secondary) at a restaurant corresponding to the second specific food category, the processor 120 consumes the second specific food next to the second specific food based on the second specific food category information and predetermined matching information. You can derive certain food categories that you can do.

The predetermined matching information will correspond to a second specific food category and a third specific food category (prescribed food category) recorded in the database 130. Here, the third specific food category corresponds to a food category including foods that can be consumed next to the food of the second specific food category.

In addition, the processor 120 may transmit restaurant information corresponding to the predetermined food category to the user terminal 300.

Meanwhile, in addition to the matching information of FIG. 3, a theme (subject) may be included in the database 130.

5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which matching information including a theme is stored in a database according to an embodiment of the present invention.

After acquiring the first specific category, the processor 120 may provide a plurality of themes related thereto to the user terminal 200 and allow the user to select any one of the plurality of themes.

The processor 120 may determine a second food category according to the selected theme and provide restaurant information corresponding thereto to the user terminal 200.

For example, when the user consumes'Korean food' as the primary food, the processor 120 may cause the user terminal 200 to select one of the themes of Korea or health.

For example, when it detects that the user terminal 200 selects the theme of'health', the processor 120 may transmit restaurant information corresponding to the traditional tea house category to the user terminal 200.

In addition, if the user consumes'form' as the primary food and selects the theme of'female', the processor 120 may transmit restaurant information corresponding to the coffee shop category to the user terminal 200.

The themes may include Korea, health, women, alcohol, as well as various themes.

The user may directly select the name of the theme, the included food category, and the included restaurant through the user terminal 200. You can also share it so that other users can use it.

The embodiments according to the present invention described above may be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer components and recorded in a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc. alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded in the computer-readable recording medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention, or may be known and usable to those skilled in the computer software field. Examples of computer-readable recording media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes, optical recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magnetic-optical media such as floptical disks. media), and a hardware device specially configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like.
