It can be set up to contain and manage.

The server device 100 according to operation 303 may determine the type of the first item and determine whether the type of the first item corresponds to a type that can be checked in stock based on preset inventory management information of the first store, , it is possible to check whether the first item is included in a plurality of items for managing inventory using preset inventory management information in the first store.

When it is confirmed that the first item is included in the plurality of items and corresponds to an item that can be checked in stock, that is, the type of the first item is inventory check based on preset inventory management information of the first store When it corresponds to a possible type, the server device 100 may obtain information on the inventory quantity of the first item through the preset inventory management information. As a simple example, if the server device 100 determines that the first item corresponds to an item that can be checked in stock, accesses preset inventory management information of the first store to extract or extract information on the stock quantity of the first item can be checked

Conversely, when it is confirmed that the first item does not correspond to an item that can be checked in stock because it is not included in the plurality of items, that is, the type of the first item is based on preset inventory management information of the first store. If it does not correspond to the type that can be checked in stock, the server device 100 may transmit a stock input request for the first item to the manager device 300 corresponding to the first store. That is, since the inventory quantity of the first item cannot be determined through the preset inventory management information of the first store, a request to input the inventory quantity for the first item may be transmitted to the store.

When the store directly inputs and processes the stock quantity of the first item in response to the inventory input request, the server device 100 can sell the first item from the manager device 300 corresponding to the first store It is possible to receive information indicating or the stock quantity of the first item. If the first item is out of stock, the store side may transmit information indicating that the first item is out of stock or information indicating that the sale of the first item is impossible to the server device 100 through the manager device 300, When the server device 100 receives the corresponding information from the manager device 300 , the server device 100 may set information related to the process of discontinuing sale or out of stock of the first item.

At this time, the operation of the server device 100 including the confirmation of the inventory management information as described above, the transmission of the confirmation request and the reception of information on the stock quantity, etc. For this purpose, it may be performed through an application interworking with the server device 100 . The application is installed in the Point Of Sales (POS) terminal of each store and checks the inventory management information of each store, transmits a stock input request to the store, or allows the store to directly input the inventory of the item. can be set to perform.

Alternatively, when another application related to another service is already installed in the POS terminal of each store, the application may be set to extract or check certain information from the other application in conjunction with the application. In this case, the application accesses another application, extracts or checks inventory management information of the store managed by the other application, and requests or instructs the other application to deliver a stock input request to the store. may be set.

According to various embodiments, in operation 305 , when the first item corresponds to an item that can be checked in stock, the server device 100 may obtain information on the stock quantity of the first item.

For example, whether the first item corresponds to an item that can be checked in stock may be determined based on the point that the server device 100 checks the type of the first item according to operation 303 described above. In addition, the operation of the server device 100 to obtain information on the inventory quantity of the first item according to operation 305 includes acquiring information on the inventory quantity of the first item from preset inventory management information of the store, or , transmitting a stock input request for the first item to the store side and receiving information about the stock quantity of the first item from the store side.

For example, the information on the stock quantity of the first item obtained by the server device 100 in operation 305 may be information updated at a constant cycle. That is, the store may update the preset inventory management information at a regular cycle, and the server device 100 may check the inventory quantity of the first item updated at a regular cycle by checking the updated information at every regular cycle.

Information on the updated inventory quantity that the server device 100 checks for the first item includes information on the inventory quantity of the first item provided to the user by the server device 100 according to an operation 307 to be described later and the imminent out of stock It can be used for information to inform That is, according to operation 307, which will be described later, when the stock quantity of the first item is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the server device 100 includes information on the remaining stock quantity of the first item and information notifying that the first item is out of stock. It is possible to provide the information of the set first item. At this time, if the inventory quantity of the first item is newly updated and the server device 100 acquires information on the updated inventory quantity, the server device 100 is the updated inventory quantity Based on , an operation 307 may be replaced with a similar or different operation, or an additional information providing operation may be further performed in addition to operation 307 .

If the updated stock quantity for the first item is still less than or equal to a certain number, the server device 100 confirms that the first item is out of stock even according to the updated stock quantity, and provides information on the updated stock quantity Information of the first item updated to include may be provided. That is, the updated information on the first item may include information on the updated inventory quantity, and information indicating that the first item is out of stock may still be included.

On the other hand, if the updated inventory quantity for the first item exceeds a certain number, the server device 100 confirms that the first item is out of stock because the updated inventory quantity is sufficient, and the inventory of the first item is not imminent. Information on the first item set to exclude information about the quantity and information indicating that the first item is out of stock may be provided. That is, since the quantity of the first item is sufficient, there is no need to inform the user about the remaining stock quantity or the imminent out of stock. Information indicating an imminent out of stock may not be included.

According to various embodiments, in operation 307, when the stock quantity of the first item is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the server device 100 includes information on the stock quantity and first information notifying that the first item is out of stock. 1 You can provide information about an item.

For example, the predetermined number, which is a criterion for setting the information on the first item so that the server device 100 includes the information on the stock quantity and first information notifying that the first item is out of stock, is set according to various criteria can be For example, the predetermined number may be determined based on the daily sales volume of the first item. When the first item corresponds to a popular item and the sales volume for a certain period of time is high or the sales speed is fast, the server device 100 determines the predetermined number to be relatively large, and based on the relatively relaxed inventory status, the user You can make items available for purchase. Alternatively, as another example, the predetermined number may be determined as a fixed value irrespective of the characteristics of the item. In this case, the predetermined number may be determined by applying the same value to all items sold in the store through the service related to the server device 100 without considering characteristics such as sales volume and type of the item.

For example, the first information included in the information on the first item provided by the server device 100 in operation 307 may include a phrase that may indicate the imminent out of stock of the first item or an icon related to the imminent out of stock. can

For example, when there is no stock quantity of the first item, that is, when the stock quantity of the first item is 0, the information on the first item provided by the server device 100 in operation 307 indicates that the first item is out of stock. The notification may include second information. Unlike the case in which the stock quantity of the first item remains below a certain number in operation 307 , if there is no inventory quantity of the first item at all, the server device 100 may provide information indicating that the first item is out of stock.

The server device 100 performing the item information providing operation according to FIG. 3 further performs an item addition operation to the order selection list as shown in FIG. 4 according to a user input for adding the item to the order selection list, or According to the user's input for payment, as shown in FIG. 5 , an operation of providing payment information corresponding to the order selection list may be further performed. In this case, various embodiments related to the stock quantity of the first item described above in FIG. 3 may be associated with the operation of the server device 100 of FIGS. 4 to 5 , which will be described later.

4 is a diagram illustrating a method for the server device 100 to add an item to a user's order selection list according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to FIG. 4 , the server device 100 provides a store detail page for a first store ( 401 ), obtains a first input of a user for selecting a first item in the store detail page ( 403 ), and the user's In response to the first input, an order page of the first item is provided ( 405 ), and the first item according to the second input of the user selecting the order quantity of the first item on the order page and the order quantity is selected from the user's order selection list A user's third input to add to is obtained ( 407 ), and in response to the user's second and third inputs, the first item according to the order quantity may be added to the order selection list ( 409 ). The operation of the server device 100 according to FIG. 4 may include various embodiments as follows.

For example, when the stock quantity of the first item is less than or equal to a certain number, the server device 100 provides information on the stock quantity of the first item and the out of stock of the first item on the order page of the first item provided in operation 405 . It may be set to include first information notifying imminence. That is, if the stock quantity of the first item is less than or equal to a certain number, the order page of the first item provided by the server device 100 in operation 405 notifies information on the stock quantity of the first item and the imminent out of stock of the first item. It may include first information. In this case, the predetermined number may be determined according to the above-described various embodiments of FIG. 3 .

For example, the server device 100 that performs the operation of adding an item to the user's order selection list according to FIG. 4 corresponds to the user's third input for adding the first item according to the order quantity to the order selection list Thus, it is possible to check whether the inventory quantity for the first item is updated, and if the inventory quantity for the first item is updated, the user can compare the order quantity ordered for the first item with the updated inventory quantity of the first item .

According to this comparison, the server device 100 checks whether the order quantity ordered by the user for the first item exceeds the updated inventory quantity of the first item, and if the order quantity ordered by the user for the first item is the first When the updated inventory quantity of the item is exceeded, the user's order quantity may be changed to the updated inventory quantity of the first item. That is, the user's order quantity can be adjusted so that an order can be made only as much as the remaining stock quantity. In this case, in order to prevent the user from ordering the first item without knowing that the order quantity has changed, the server device 100 may provide guide information about the changed order quantity to the user.

If the updated inventory quantity of the first item is 0, that is, if it is confirmed that the first item is out of stock during the user's order process, the server device 100 may provide out-of-stock information about the first item to the user. .

For example, the order page of the first item provided by the server device 100 in operation 405 may include a first icon and a second icon for the user to adjust the order quantity of the first item, When there is a user input corresponding to the icon, the order quantity of the first item may decrease, and if there is a user input corresponding to the second icon, the order quantity of the first item may increase. For example, the first icon may be a (-)-shaped icon indicating a decrease in the order quantity, and the second icon may be a (+)-shaped icon indicating an increase in the order quantity. If the orderable quantity is limited due to the reason that the stock quantity of the first item is limited, the user repeatedly inputs the second icon so that the order quantity for the first item is the same as the stock quantity of the first item If set, since it is impossible to increase the order quantity any more, the above second icon may be set to be inactive.

At this time, the operation of the server device 100 for setting the second icon for increasing the order quantity to be deactivated may also be understood as an operation for limiting the setting of the user's order quantity for the first item, The restriction may not be applied only when the order quantity for the first item is set equal to the stock quantity of the first item. That is, the server device 100 may set a specific orderable quantity for the first item, and the set orderable quantity may be smaller than the stock quantity of the first item. The user can order the first item only in the set orderable quantity, and when the user's order quantity reaches the set orderable quantity, the server device 100 places an order on the order page of the first item provided in operation 405 . The second icon for increasing the quantity may be deactivated.

The server device 100 may set an orderable quantity per user that limits one user to order the first item within a certain number. In particular, as in operation 307, the inventory quantity of the first item becomes less than a certain number and the remaining stock It is also possible to set the orderable quantity per user for the case where is not enough. The orderable quantity per user may be set as a fixed value or may be set in consideration of the average order quantity per order request of the first item for each business time section of the first store as in the following embodiment.

For example, the server device 100 identifies a plurality of order requests obtained for a predetermined period for a first item sold by the first store, and a plurality of unit times for classifying the business hours of the first store based on this. Information on the average order quantity per order request for the first item for each section may be acquired. For example, if the store's business hours are 10:00am ~ 20:00pm, 10:00~12:00, 12:00~14:00, ..., 18:00~20:00 divided by 2 hours may be set, and if the first item corresponds to a food item, the average order quantity per order request is usually 12:00 to 14:00 corresponding to lunch time or It may appear higher than other unit time sections from 18:00 to 20:00.

In this case, when the inventory quantity of the first item is less than or equal to a certain number in operation 307 in a specific first unit time interval included in a plurality of unit time intervals dividing the business hours of the first store, that is, the first When it is determined that the remaining inventory quantity of the first item in a unit time period is less than a certain number and is insufficient, the server device 100 may check the first average order quantity of the first item corresponding to the first unit time period. In addition, a value of the checked first average order quantity or a value obtained by raising or lowering the first average order quantity may be set as the orderable quantity per user in the first time interval.

If the stock quantity of the first item in the first unit time interval is less than or equal to the predetermined number according to operation 307 and the server device 100 sets the orderable quantity per user, the server device 100 expands operation 307 to Information on the first item including information on the stock quantity of one item, first information notifying that the first item is out of stock, and information on the orderable quantity per user may be provided to the user device 200 .

However, if the orderable quantity per user is set according to the first average order quantity due to the value of the first average order quantity corresponding to the first unit time period being determined too large, the first item can be ordered through 1 or 2 order requests. This may be out of stock. As an example, if the remaining stock quantity of the first item is only 10, but the corresponding first average order quantity in the first unit time interval exceeds 5, the orderable quantity per user is set to be larger than the remaining inventory quantity, and 2 The first item may be out of stock with only one order. To prevent such a problem, the server device 100 may determine the first average order quantity corresponding to the first unit time period based on the ratio of the predetermined number of average order quantity in operation 307 .

That is, when the server device 100 checks the first average order quantity, per order request in the first unit time period based on all of the plurality of order requests obtained for a predetermined period for the first item sold by the first store A first value obtained by averaging the order quantity of the first item may be preferentially checked, and it may be determined whether a ratio of a predetermined number of the first values according to operation 307 is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio. If the ratio of the predetermined number of the first values in operation 307 is equal to or greater than the predetermined ratio, when the first value is set as the average order quantity, the number of possible orders for the remaining stock is relatively high according to the set average order quantity. Since it means that it is high, the server device 100 may check the first value as the first average order quantity corresponding to the first unit time period.

For example, if the predetermined number is 10 and the first value is 1.5, since approximately 7 orders are possible according to the first value, the server device 100 determines the number of possible orders according to the first value for the remaining stock. It is determined that it is relatively high, 1.5 is identified as the first average order quantity, and the orderable quantity per user may be determined according to the value.

On the other hand, if the ratio of the predetermined number of the first values in operation 307 is less than the predetermined ratio, when the first value is set as the average order quantity, the number of possible orders for the remaining stock is relative according to the set average order quantity. means lower. In this case, the server device 100 places an order with respect to some order requests determined based on the order in which the order quantity for the first item is small among a plurality of order requests obtained for a predetermined period for the first item sold by the first store. A second value obtained by averaging the order quantity of the first item per request may be checked. In general, since the average order quantity is confirmed to be high due to some order requests with too high order quantity, the server device 100 makes an order request in the first unit time interval based on the remaining order requests except for such order requests. The second value may be obtained by averaging the order quantity of each first item, and it may be checked whether a ratio of a predetermined number of the second values according to operation 307 is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio. If the ratio of the predetermined number of the second values in operation 307 is equal to or greater than the predetermined ratio, when the second value is set as the average order quantity, the number of possible orders for the remaining stock is relatively small according to the set average order quantity. Since it means that it is high, the server device 100 may check the second value as the first average order quantity corresponding to the first unit time period.

For example, if the predetermined number serving as a criterion for determining the shortage of stock is 20 and the first value is 5, approximately 4 orders can be made according to the corresponding order quantity, so the server device 100 is the first value for the remaining stock. It can be determined that the number of possible orders is relatively low. In this case, the server device 100 may obtain by averaging again the order quantity of the first item per order request in the first unit time interval based on the remaining order requests except for some order requests having a high order quantity. If the second value obtained in this way is 2.5, since approximately 8 orders are possible according to the corresponding order quantity, the server device 100 determines that the number of orders available according to the second value with respect to the remaining stock is relatively high, and 2.5 is identified as the first average order quantity, and the orderable quantity per user may be determined according to the corresponding value.

As described above, the server device 100 may limit the user's orderable quantity based on the average order quantity for each time period in a situation where the stock of the first item is insufficient, and in this case, the user selects the first item according to the orderable quantity The user's identification information may be utilized to prevent repeated ordering attempts.

According to FIG. 5, the server device 100 provides payment information corresponding to the user's order selection list, and provides a payment page including an order selection list in order to perform an operation of providing payment information (501) , obtains a fourth input of the user to pay for one or more items included in the order selection list on the payment page ( 503 ), and checks whether the inventory quantity for the first item is updated in response to the user's fourth input ( 505), payment information corresponding to the order selection list may be provided based on whether the inventory quantity of the first item is updated (507). The operation of the server device 100 according to FIG. 5 may include various embodiments as follows.

For example, in operation 505, when the server device 100 checks whether the inventory quantity for the first item is updated and the inventory quantity for the first item is updated, the server device 100 allows the user to select the first item may be compared with the quantity of orders paid for and the updated inventory quantity of the first item.

According to this comparison, the server device 100 checks whether the order quantity for which the user paid for the first item exceeds the updated inventory quantity of the first item, and if the order quantity for which the user paid for the first item is When the updated inventory quantity of the first item is exceeded, the user's order quantity may be changed to the updated inventory quantity of the first item. That is, the user's order quantity may be adjusted so that payment is possible only by the remaining stock quantity, and the payment information provided by the server device 100 in operation 507 may include information on the changed order quantity. In this case, in order to prevent the user from paying for the first item without knowing that the order quantity has changed, the server device 100 may provide guide information about the changed order quantity to the user.
