The electronic device 110 checks the scrap reference point of time of the center. The electronic device 110 obtains first information about an item to be scrapped from among item sets based on a scrap reference time point of the center. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 110 may determine items to be scrapped by determining whether a sellable deadline set for each of one or more items included in an item set has elapsed.

In this regard, "scrap" may be understood to comprehensively refer to various actions to stop the display of a displayed item. For example, scrapping includes, but is not limited to, an act of discarding an item, and may include various acts such as selling an item in a different way or using the item for a purpose other than selling.

According to an embodiment, with respect to an item that is determined to have expired, the electronic device 110 may request a worker to verify whether pre-stored sellable date information is correct. Such a request may be transmitted to the operator's device 120, but is not limited thereto, and various embodiments may exist, such as, for example, that a request transmitted to a manager's device is transmitted to the operator through a manager's judgment.

It may also be performed by the device.

2 is an operation flowchart of an information processing method of an electronic device in a system processing information for selling an item according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the electronic device 110 according to an exemplary embodiment checks an item set displayed in a first location of the center (210). One or more items included in the item set may be classified into one or more groups, and items belonging to the same group may be displayed at the same location.

An example of a set of items displayed in the first location is shown in FIG. 3 . Referring further to FIG. 3 , the shelf disposed in the first location includes a plurality of physically separated compartments (for example, a compartment corresponding to reference numeral 310), and items belonging to the same group may be displayed in each compartment. In this way, by displaying items belonging to the same group at the same location, it is not only convenient to store and ship out the items, but also to scrap the items quickly and accurately.

Returning to FIG. 2 again, according to an embodiment, the electronic device 110 may instruct the display of item sets in the first location. In this regard, the electronic device 110 according to an example may select one or more items included in an item set based on at least one of type information of the item set and sellable period information set for each of the one or more items included in the item set. Classify into groups, and items belonging to the same group can be displayed in the same location. In relation to this, the type information of the item set is information indicating the properties of the item, and may include, for example, information such as the manufacturer, category, and capacity of the item, but is not limited thereto, and depending on the embodiment, it is given corresponding to the item type. may include unique identification information that has been identified, and such identification information may include, for example, SKU (Storage Keeping Unit) information, etc.

One example of a method of classifying a set of items into one or more groups is shown in FIG. 4 (400). Referring further to FIG. 4 , in classifying the first to seventh items into one or more groups, the item type and the sellable period of the item may be considered. More specifically, since the first item and the second item have the same type and the same sale period, they can be classified as the first group 410 . On the other hand, in the case of the 3rd and 4th items, although they are the same type of items as the 1st and 2nd items, the sale period is different from 2022/04/16, so the second item is distinguished from the 1st and 2nd items. group 420. In the case of the 5th item and the 6th item, the sale period is the same as the 1st item and the 2nd item, but the type is different from the B company cookie, so that the third group 430 is distinguished from the 1st to 4th items. ) can be classified as The seventh item may be classified as a fourth group 440 because the type and sale period are different.

Returning to FIG. 2 again, the electronic device 110 checks the scrap reference point of time of the center (220). The scrap reference point of the center refers to the point in time for workers to perform scrap, including, for example, a specific time of the day (eg, 22:15 every day) or a specific day of the week (eg, Wednesday). It can be done, but is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, the scrap reference point of time of the center may be determined based on at least one of business hours for selling items of the center and a point of time when items for sale are received at the center. According to one example, a scrap reference time point of the center may be set so that scrapping can be performed after business hours are over. For example, if the business hours of the center are from 06:00 to 22:00, the center's scrap reference time point may be set to 22:05.

According to another example, the scrap reference time may be set so that the item is received and the scrap reference time are separated by a predetermined period or more so as not to cause business confusion. For example, if the item is warehousing at 08:00, the scrap reference time may be determined as 04:00, which is 4 hours or more away from this. In this regard, how far apart the item arrival time and the reference time point for scrap may be determined in consideration of various factors such as the overall capacity of the center's personnel and the quantity of items received at the center.

The electronic device 110 obtains first information about an item to be scrapped from among item sets based on a scrap reference time point of the center (230). According to an embodiment, the electronic device 110 may determine items to be scrapped by determining whether a sellable deadline set for each of one or more items included in an item set has elapsed.

In relation to this, a reference point in time for determining whether the selling period has passed may be determined in various ways. For example, whether or not the sale period has passed may be determined based on the reference point in time of the center or based on the time when business starts on the next day. More specifically, if the sellable deadline of item X is 2022/04/16 04:00 am, and the center's scrap standard time is 10:00 pm every day, item X is judged as a scrap item at 2022/04/15 10:00 pm It may be (when it is determined based on the time when business starts on the next day) or it may be determined that it is not an item to be scrapped (when it is determined based on the reference time of the center). In this regard, the case of determining scrap based on the standard time of the center includes the case where the center continues to operate 24 hours a day without a separate business hours or the case where scrap is made once more before the business start time. It can be done, but is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, the sellable period of an item may be set in consideration of at least one of expiration date information of the item and time information required for delivery of one or more items included in the item set. For example, if the expiry date of an item is until 2022/04/30, it takes 2 days for delivery, and the period for customers to use the item is set to 7 days, the sellable period of the item is 9 days from 2022/04/30. It can be set to 2022/04/21, which is one day earlier.

In addition, the sellable deadline of the item may be set in consideration of various factors such as feedback information received from customers or general weather information in order to determine the sellable deadline of the item. For example, if a customer often complains that the period for using the item was not sufficient, the period for using the item may be further extended. As another example, when the rainy season begins in midsummer and hot and humid weather continues, the sale period of items corresponding to fresh food may be set more conservatively.

The electronic device 110 may determine whether the sellable deadline has passed based on pre-stored sellable deadline information. In relation to this, the pre-stored location of sellable period information may include at least one of the memory of the electronic device 110, a separate server, and a cloud storage, but is not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, with respect to an item that is determined to have expired, the electronic device 110 may request a worker to verify whether pre-stored sellable date information is correct. For example, when an item is scrapped, the electronic device 110 may request the operator to check the sellable deadline displayed corresponding to the item and compare it with pre-stored sellable deadline information. This request may be sent to the operator's device 120 .

As a result of the verification, if it is determined that the pre-stored sale date information is correct, scraping may be performed on the item to be scrapped. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pre-stored sellable date information is not accurate, whether or not to scrap may be determined according to the sellable deadline displayed corresponding to the item. In this regard, the electronic device 110 may change and store the sellable period information to match the sellable deadline displayed corresponding to the item.

Meanwhile, if the pre-stored sale date information is not accurate, the electronic device 110 may further determine whether to change the display position of the item. For example, if sellable date information is incorrectly stored for some of the items displayed in the same location (that is, if the sellable date range is not the same among items displayed in the same location), items with different sellable dates may be the same. Its display position can be changed so that it is not displayed in the position. On the other hand, if sellable date information was incorrectly stored for all items displayed at the same location, and the corresponding sellable dates displayed for all items displayed at the corresponding location are the same, items with different sellable dates are the same. Its display position can be changed so that it is not displayed in the position. However, even if the sellable date information for some of the items displayed in the same location is stored incorrectly, in the case where the scrap business is not substantially hindered (e.g., there was a slight error in the sellable deadline, but the scrap reference point was considered). If there is no change at the time when the item is ultimately determined to be a scrap item), the display position may not be changed.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 110 may further determine a method of processing a scrap target item. In this regard, in the case of an item to be scrapped, the item may be simply discarded, but if there is still room for utilization, it is also possible to process the item in a manner that is not discarded.

According to an example, the electronic device 110 may determine a specific processing method by considering whether or not the scrap target item is still available for sale and whether it is available for use. For example, the electronic device 110 determines to process the scrap target item according to the first method when the scrap target item is still available for sale, and the second method when the scrap target item is unsellable and available for use. It is determined to process the item to be scrapped according to the above, and when the item to be scrapped is in an unusable state, it may be determined to process the item to be scrapped according to the third method. As a more specific example, when the scrap reference point in time is 2022/04/15, the electronic device 110 processes an item whose expiration date is 2022/04/18 among items to be scrapped according to the first method, and the expiration date is Items that can be consumed up to 2022/04/14 or one week after the expiration date are processed according to the second method, and items with a expiration date of 2022/04/01 and can be consumed up to one week after the expiration date are processed according to the third method can be processed accordingly.

An example of the first, second and third methods is shown in FIG. 5 (500). Referring further to FIG. 5 , a first method may include a method of transferring an item to be scrapped to a company that specializes in selling products near expiration (510). In this regard, the transfer price of the item to be scrapped may be determined and transferred through an auction method, but the transfer method is not limited to such a method. In addition, if there is a service that sells products near expiration date among the services provided by the electronic device 110, sales of items subject to scrap can be sold through the service for selling products near expiration date without transferring the item to an external company. may proceed.

The second method may include a method of producing feed or industrially using the item to be scrapped by using the item to be scrapped, and instead of directly using the item to be scrapped by the electronic device 110, the item to be scrapped is stored in a factory operated by an external company. It may include a method of transferring (520). The third method may include a method of discarding the item to be scrapped.

In addition, the first method, the second method, and the third method may include various examples. For example, the second method may include a method of donating the item to be scrapped to a place in need, and the third method may include a method of transferring the item to be scrapped to a recycling company.

Returning to FIG. 2 , according to an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 110 may determine an item to be scrapped by checking a history of receiving feedback in relation to an item having an attribute corresponding to at least a part of the item set. For example, the electronic device 110 may scrap an item of the same type as the corresponding item when a customer complaint is received regarding a sold specific item and the complaint is due to a problem of the item itself. However, the details of receiving the feedback are not limited to the feedback received from the customer, and may include various embodiments, such as a case where a worker discovers a defect in the item itself while performing tasks such as warehousing and warehousing.

The electronic device 110 may update inventory information related to the center based on the first information (240). More specifically, the electronic device 110 may subtract the quantity of items to be scrapped from the inventory quantity.

Meanwhile, the electronic device 110 according to an embodiment may update inventory information based on a result of determining a method of processing a scrap target item. For example, in relation to the above-described first method, when a service for selling a product nearing expiration date exists separately among the services provided by the electronic device 110, the electronic device 110 distributes the item instead of deleting the inventory information. The classification may be changed to inventory information related to a service that sells a product nearing expiration.
