As shown in FIG. 6 , a page displaying information related to an item list provided from the selected store may be a search detail page. In this case, a tag may be displayed for an item matching the item identification information in the item list, and the sort order of the item list may be changed as shown in FIG. 7 in consideration of the tagged item. For example, when the user clicks the store X-1 instead of the tag 521 on the search result page as shown in FIG. 5A , the electronic device may display a list of items provided from the store X-1. In this case, the sort order of the item list may be determined based on the presence or absence of a tag for the item checked based on the history information.

6 and 7 are diagrams according to an embodiment for explaining a process related to the sort order of items provided in a store.

Referring to FIG. 6 , a search detail page displaying information related to an item list provided from a store selected by a user may be checked. For example, from among a plurality of stores displayed through the main page, the category list page, and the search result page, the user may select a store A in which a tag is not displayed through the terminal, and information on a plurality of items provided in the store A may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6 . In this case, the plurality of items (eg, items 1 to 4) may be displayed in an order set in advance in the store A. For example, information on the representative items of the store A or the items provided by the store A in the order of the items with a large number of orders may be displayed. That is, item 1 may be a representative item of store A or an item with the largest number of orders.

The sort order of the items as shown in FIG. 7 in which the store in which the tag is displayed is selected may be different from that in FIG. 6 in which the store in which the tag is not displayed is selected. For example, from among a plurality of stores displayed through the main page, the category list page, and the search result page, the user may select a store A marked with a tag through the terminal. That is, when user X has no past order records from store A and user Y has past orders from store A, the sort order of the item list provided in store A is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 on user X's terminal, The sort order of the item list provided in the store A may be displayed in the terminal of the user Y as shown in FIG. 7 .

Specifically, if there is a record of past orders from store A, tags may be displayed for the ordered items. For example, among the plurality of items provided in store A, user Y has a record of ordering items 7 and 3 in the past, and correspondingly there is a tag 710 corresponding to item 7 and a tag 720 corresponding to item 3 ) may be displayed. The electronic device may display the items on which the tags 710 and 720 are displayed first, and determine the sort order in the order of the items in which the tags are not displayed. In this case, when there are a plurality of items marked with the tag, the sort order may be determined in consideration of the above-described order time, order day, weather information, number of orders, and the like. Alternatively, when the user leaves past review information, the sort order may be determined among the items displayed with a plurality of tags by additionally considering the review information.

8 is a flowchart illustrating an information providing method according to an embodiment.

In step S810, the server may check the store identification information and the item identification information ordered in the past based on the history information related to the user's service use.

In this case, the server may check the store identification information and the item identification information classified by the user's order time based on the history information. For example, identification information of a store ordered by the user between 11:00 and 13:00 during lunch time and identification information on a store ordered between 17:00 and 19:00 at dinner time can be identified separately. Accordingly, when the current time is lunch time, a tag may be displayed centered on a store ordered at lunch time while excluding stores ordered at dinner time. Alternatively, items ordered at lunch time and items ordered at dinner time can be identified separately from the same store. Accordingly, when there is an item with an order record among the list of items provided in the same store, the tag may be displayed in consideration of the current time and the order time.

Alternatively, the server may check the store identification information and the item identification information classified by the user's order day based on the history information. For example, identification information for a store ordered by the user mainly on weekdays (Monday to Friday) and identification information for a store ordered on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) may be distinguished and confirmed. Accordingly, when the current day of the week is a weekday, a tag may be displayed centered on a store ordered on a weekday while excluding a store ordered on the weekend.

Alternatively, the server may check the store identification information and the item identification information classified according to the weather information on the day of the order based on the history information. For example, it is possible to check identification information and item identification information for a store that the user mainly ordered on a rainy day. Accordingly, when it is currently raining, a tag may be displayed based on store identification information and item identification information ordered on a rainy day in the past.

Alternatively, when there are a plurality of stores or items marked with tags, the server may determine the sort order in consideration of review information left by the user. When the user leaves review information, the sort order may be determined by considering only the user's review information without considering the review information of other users. This is because the user's review information needs to be considered first. Alternatively, when the user does not leave review information, the sort order may be determined in consideration of review information left by other users.

In step S820, the server may identify a store matching the store identification information from among a plurality of stores displayed through an interface used by the user. In step S830, the server may display a tag related to the store matching the store identification information.

Also, the server may check a store in which the tag selected by the user is displayed using the interface, and display a tag related to an item matching the item identification information from the list of items provided in the selected store. When there are a plurality of items marked with tags in the item list, the plurality of items marked with tags may be displayed in consideration of a sort order determined according to a preset criterion. In this case, the preset criterion may be determined in consideration of the number of orders of the item for each order time of the user, and may be additionally determined in consideration of review information left by the user.

Also, when there are a plurality of stores in which tags are displayed, the server may display the plurality of stores in which tags are displayed in consideration of a sort order determined according to a predetermined criterion. In this case, the schedule criterion may be determined in consideration of the order time, the current time, and the number of orders. Alternatively, the predetermined criterion may be determined in consideration of the order day, the current day of the week, and the number of orders. Alternatively, it may be determined in consideration of weather information, current weather, and the number of orders. Alternatively, the order time, order day, weather information, and the number of orders may all be taken into consideration.

The interface used by the user may include a main page as shown in FIG. 3A that displays information related to a plurality of stores. Alternatively, the interface may include a category list page as shown in FIG. 4A that displays information related to a store classified based on a category among a plurality of stores. Alternatively, the interface may include a search result page as shown in FIG. 5A that displays information related to a store classified according to a search word input by a user among a plurality of stores. Alternatively, the interface may include a search detail page as shown in FIG. 6 displaying information related to a list of items provided from a store selected by the user.

When a tag is clicked by the user among the stores displayed on the main page, the category list page, and the search result page, payment for the item matching the item identification information is performed based on the tag click as shown in FIGS. 3B, 4B and 5B can On the other hand, when an area other than a tag is clicked by the user among the stores displayed on the main page, the category list page, and the search result page, the payment is not immediately processed and the search details as shown in FIG. 6 including a list of items provided in the store The page may be displayed. In this case, the sort order of the item list displayed on the search detail page may be determined as shown in FIG. 7 according to the presence or absence of tags. That is, an item on which a tag is displayed may be displayed first, and an item on which a tag is not displayed may be displayed with a lower priority.
