Also, the method according to the present embodiment may be separately performed by the first computing device and the second computing device. Hereinafter, in performing each operation of the method according to the present embodiment, if the description of the subject is omitted, the subject may be interpreted as the computing device.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a time axis indicating an inventory period of an item is displayed in step S100. Here, the period from the date of stocking of a specific item to the point in time when the user inquires the inventory is displayed in time series on the time axis. Displayed on the time axis means the period during which a user has a specific item.

In some embodiments, the time axis indicating the inventory period may be expressed in hours, days, weeks, months, and years. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and a time axis expressing the inventory period by various time units may be included in the present invention.

In some embodiments, all inventory periods of an item owned by a user may be displayed on the time axis. Also, in some embodiments, only the inventory period of an item that exceeds a certain period may be displayed on the time axis. For example, only the inventory period of an item that has passed 4 months from the date of receipt may be displayed on the time axis. Also, in some embodiments, only the inventory period of the item that exceeds the first period but does not exceed the second period may be displayed on the time axis. For example, only the inventory period of an item that has passed 4 months from the date of receipt but has not passed 12 months may be displayed on the time axis. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and examples, and a time axis expressing a specific inventory period may be included in the present invention.

Next, in step S200, the first section of the time axis is displayed in a first predetermined time unit. Here, the first section may be displayed in a first time unit that is a different time unit from a second section to be described later.

For example, the first section may be displayed in units of a day, a week, a month, and a year. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and all of the time axis indicated in the first time unit for the first section may be included in the present invention.

Next, in step S300, a second section of the time axis is determined based on the attribute of the item, and the second section determined in step S400 is displayed in a second time unit different from the first time unit.

In some embodiments, a period in which the period exceeding the validity period of the item is equal to or greater than a reference value may be determined as the second period. Here, the second section may be displayed in a second time unit longer than the first time unit.

For a specific example, if the validity period of item A is April and the reference value is August, the period from the date of stocking to December is determined as the first section. At this time, the period after December from the date of stocking is determined as the second section. More specifically, in the first interval, the inventory period is displayed on the time axis every February determined in the first time unit, and in the second interval, the inventory period is displayed in the time axis every May determined in the second time unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and this example is merely an example for explaining the determination of the second section and the second time unit applied to the second section.

According to the present embodiment, based on the validity period of the item, the inventory quantity of the item having the period exceeding the validity period less than the reference value among the items exceeding the validity period is displayed in a first unit of time with a shorter period of time, and the validity period The inventory quantity of the item for which the period exceeding the reference value is greater than or equal to the reference value may be displayed in a second time unit having a longer time unit. Therefore, the inventory quantity of items for which the period exceeding the expiration date is less than the reference value is displayed in the first time unit with a short time unit, so that the user can check the detailed inventory data, and the period exceeding the expiration date is the reference value The inventory quantity of the item with more than one item is displayed in the second time unit having a long time unit, so that the user can check the compressed data related to the inventory.

In some embodiments, the reference value may be a predetermined value based on an attribute of the item. For example, it may be a value predetermined by the expiration date of the item. More specifically, the reference value may be determined to be proportional to the expiration date of the item. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. According to this example, the user may check the inventory data in which the attributes of the item are better reflected.

In some embodiments, the validity period and the reference value may be values determined differently for each item.

As a specific example, if the validity period of item B is 1 year and the reference value is 3 years, the period from the date of stocking to 4 years is determined as the first section. At this time, the period after 4 years from the date of stocking is determined as the second section. More specifically, in the first interval, the inventory period is displayed on the time axis every June determined in the first time unit, and in the second interval, the inventory period is displayed in the time axis every year determined in the second time unit. This example is merely an example for explaining an embodiment of the present invention in which the determination of the second section for each item and the second time unit applied to the second section may vary.

According to the present embodiment, the validity period may be determined differently for each item. In addition, the reference value may be determined differently for each item. Accordingly, in inquiring the unhealthy inventory, the user may check the inventory data in which the attributes of the item are better reflected. In addition, inventory data of all items managed by the user can be checked.

In some embodiments, a section in which the inventory quantity of the item is less than or equal to the reference value may be determined as the second section. In this case, the second section may be displayed in a second time unit longer than the first time unit. As a specific example, a period corresponding to the inventory period in which the inventory quantity is 100 or less may be determined as the second period. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. According to the present embodiment, the section corresponding to the period in which the inventory quantity is less than or equal to the reference value may check the compressed inventory data expressed by the user.

In some embodiments, the interval after the point at which the inventory quantity of the item is less than or equal to the reference value may be determined as the second interval. In this case, the second section may be displayed in a second time unit longer than the first time unit. As a specific example, a period corresponding to the inventory period after the point where the inventory quantity is 1000 or less may be determined as the second interval. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. According to this embodiment, the period corresponding to the inventory period subsequent to the point where the inventory quantity is less than or equal to the reference value is determined as the second section, so that the period after the point where the inventory quantity is less than or equal to the reference value is where the user can check the compressed inventory data can

In some embodiments, the reference value may be a predetermined value. Also, in some embodiments, the reference value may be a value determined differently for each item. For example, the reference value may be a value determined by the total inventory quantity of item A. More specifically, the reference value may be determined to be proportional to the A stock quantity. However, the present invention is not limited to this example.

In some embodiments, the third interval may be determined based on the attribute of the item, and the third interval may be indicated by a third time unit different from the first time unit and the second time unit. According to the present embodiment, in addition to displaying the time axis indicating the inventory period as the first section and the second section, it may be displayed including the third section. According to the present embodiment, the time axis may be displayed in three different time units. However, the present invention is not limited to the time axis displayed in three time units, and is merely an example for explaining that the time axis is displayed in a plurality of time units by a plurality of determined sections.

In some embodiments, an interval in which the period exceeding the validity period is equal to or greater than the first reference value is determined as the third interval, and the starting point of the third interval is determined as the end point of the second interval, so that the period exceeding the validity period is the second reference value It is possible to determine a section that is longer than or equal to the second section. In this case, the second section may be displayed as a second time unit longer than the first time unit, and the third section may be displayed as a third time unit longer than the second time unit.

As a specific example, if the validity period of item A is April, the first reference value is 20 months, and the second reference value is October, the period from the date of receipt to 14 months is determined as the first section, and 14 The period before 24 months from the date of stocking after the month is determined as the second section, and the period after 24 months from the date of stocking is determined as the third section. More specifically, in the first interval, the inventory period is displayed on the time axis for every February determined in the first time unit, in the second interval, the inventory period is displayed on the time axis every May determined in the second time unit, and in the third The interval is marked with an inventory period on the time axis for each year determined by the third time unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and this example is merely an example for explaining the determination of the third section and the third time unit applied to the third section.

According to this embodiment, the section displaying the time axis is extended, and by checking the stock data in three or more different time units, the user can more intuitively check the data on the stock.

Next, in step S500, the inventory quantity of the item is displayed for each inventory period based on the first section and the second section.

In some embodiments, the inventory quantity may be displayed along with a time axis to correspond to the inventory period for each item.

According to some embodiments to be described later, the inventory quantity may be displayed along with a time axis so as to correspond to the inventory period for each hierarchy of items having a hierarchical structure. A detailed description related thereto will be specified later.

Next, in step S600, the inventory quantity exceeding the expiration date among the displayed inventory quantities is highlighted. Here, the inventory quantity exceeding the expiration date is the unhealthy inventory quantity. By highlighting the unhealthy inventory quantity, the user can intuitively check the data on the inventory that has exceeded the expiration date.

In some embodiments, inventory quantities that have exceeded their expiration date are highlighted for each item. According to the present embodiment, the user can intuitively check the data regarding the inventory exceeding the expiration date for each item.

In some embodiments, the unhealthy inventory may be classified into a level of interest, a level of caution, and a level of risk, according to a period exceeding an expiration date. In this case, the inventory quantity may be highlighted differently according to the corresponding level. In addition, the total of the inventory quantity for each item may be displayed according to the corresponding level.

For a specific example, the validity period of item A is April from the stocking date, the section set as the interest level is the period of April to June from the stocking date, and the section set as the caution level is June from the stocking date When the period of December and the section set as the risk level is a period after December from the date of stocking, the inventory quantity corresponding to each period may be highlighted to correspond to the level. However, this embodiment and this example are only for explaining an example in which the inventory quantity can be displayed by being divided into different levels depending on the extent to which the validity period has been exceeded, and the present invention is limited to specific terms or limited to a divided level. It is not limited to the number and duration of the distinct levels.

In the present invention, any known method for highlighting inventory data may be included in the present invention. For example, a method of displaying different colors may be included. As another example, a method of displaying different font sizes may be included. As another example, a method of displaying different types of fonts may be included. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

According to the present embodiment, by displaying data on the unhealthy inventory differently according to the extent to which the expiration date has been exceeded, the user can intuitively check the unhealthy inventory according to the divided level.

The unhealthy inventory monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention may display a time axis indicating an inventory period in a plurality of time units based on an attribute of an item. Furthermore, data on the unhealthy inventory determined by the expiration date of the item may be displayed to correspond to the time axis.
