In this case, the electronic device 110 may communicate with a plurality of servers 120, and the server 120 may have a plurality of servers 120. It may be a server that collectively manages servers in a logistics center.

Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for providing membership-related information in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a flow chart in which the electronic device receives and confirms first information from the server, confirms second information related to the user, and confirms whether a preset condition is met as the first input regarding the user's membership is obtained. It applies. If it is confirmed that the preset conditions are met, the electronic device may provide the user with information about benefits received through membership during the membership subscription period and information related to promotions for maintaining membership.

In step S210, an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1) may receive first information from a server (eg, the server 120 of FIG. 1). For example, the electronic device may receive first information from the server based on the user's delivery address information. The first information may include order history information of at least one other user selected from among a plurality of other users residing within a preset range based on the user's delivery address information, and at least one other user residing within the preset range is The user may be enrolled in a membership while at least part of the order history information is identical to the user's order history information. For example, at least one other user residing within a preset range may include similar shopping pattern information as at least part of the order history information is identical to the user's order history information. If the user's order history information includes orders related to food and beverages, orders related to electronic products, and orders related to daily necessities, the user's shopping pattern information is similar to the user among at least one other user residing within a preset range. First information can be received from the server. The preset range may be, for example, a range within a radius of 1 km based on the user's delivery address information, but is not limited thereto. Additionally, in an embodiment, the size of the set range may vary depending on the number of users located around the user's delivery address.

In step S220, the electronic device may check second information including the user's order history information and the user's membership subscription period information. For example, the user's order history information may include information on the number of orders made and the number of ordered products during the period of membership use. Information on the user's membership subscription period may include information on the time period when the user subscribed to the membership and the number of days calculated through the term. The term membership described in this specification may include the concept of a subscription-type service that is purchased and signed up through regular payment on a shopping platform, etc. If a user has signed up for a membership, the user can receive different benefits through membership than other users who have not signed up for a membership.

In step S230, the electronic device may obtain a first input including a request for cancellation of the subscribed membership. The electronic device may obtain a membership cancellation request through a user terminal (eg, the user terminal 130 of FIG. 1).

In step S240, the electronic device may check whether the information confirmed based on the user's information satisfies a preset condition in response to the first input through the user's user terminal. More specifically, the electronic device may respond to the first input. In response, it can be confirmed whether the first information and second information meet preset conditions. The first information may include order history information of at least one other user selected from among a plurality of other users residing within a preset range based on the user's delivery address information, and the second information may include the user's order history information and the user's order history information. Membership subscription period information may be included.

The preset condition may include a first condition and a second condition. For example, the first condition is the order of at least one other user included in the first information based on the user's order history information among the second information. Conditions for comparison with historical information may be included. The electronic device may confirm that the first condition is satisfied with respect to the user's order history information among the second information when the number of orders made by the user is greater than the average number of orders made by at least one other user. For another example, the first condition may include a condition for comparing the first threshold based on the user's order history information among the second information. Regarding the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device can confirm that the first condition is satisfied if the number of orders by the user is more than 10. In this case, the first threshold may correspond to 10. However, the first threshold may be set differentially according to the user's membership subscription period, and the first threshold is the minimum number of orders for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the input of membership cancellation. This may mean that values differentially applied depending on the user's membership subscription period may be stored in a type of table. The electronic device can be confirmed to have satisfied the first condition when it satisfies at least one of the two example comparison conditions. This is because the number of orders may be excessively large among the order history information of at least one other user residing within a preset range, and the number of orders may not be large during the membership subscription period due to the user's personal reasons.

The second condition may include a condition for comparing with the second threshold based on the user's membership subscription period information among the second information. The second threshold may mean the minimum membership subscription period for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the user's input of membership cancellation. For example, the second threshold may be set to 1 year, and if membership payment is made in units of 1 month, it may be calculated and set in units of months.

In step S250, if a preset condition is met, the electronic device may provide information about benefits the user has received through the registered membership. For example, information about the benefits received by the user may include information on the number of orders ordered through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or purchase costs saved through membership, or It may include information related to shipping costs, etc.

In step S260, the electronic device may also provide information related to the promotion if a preset condition is met. Promotion-related information may include information on additionally extending membership on the premise of withdrawal of the user's first input and benefit information related to delivery. For example, benefit information related to delivery may include information that guarantees faster delivery than the delivery benefit service enjoyed through existing membership subscription. In the following embodiments, overlapping descriptions may be omitted.

In an embodiment, at least one of the two operations of steps S250 and S260 may be selectively performed, and preset conditions in each step may be different.

Figure 3 is a flowchart of a process for providing benefits in response to a user's input for membership in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device determines whether preset conditions are met as it obtains a first input including a cancellation input regarding the user's membership, and provides information related to additional benefits to the user who satisfies the preset conditions. can do.

In step 310, the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1) may obtain a first input regarding the user's membership. The first input regarding the user's membership may include an input corresponding to a cancellation request regarding the subscribed membership.

In step 320, the electronic device may check whether the first information and the second information meet preset conditions based on the first input. For example, if the electronic device determines that the preset conditions are met in step 320, the electronic device may proceed to step 330, and if it determines that the preset conditions are not met, the electronic device may proceed to step 340.

In step 330, the electronic device may provide information about benefits provided to the user during the membership subscription period through membership. For example, information about the benefits received by the user may include information on the number of orders ordered through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or information on purchase costs saved through membership. It may include information, etc.

In step 340, the electronic device may provide information related to the promotion. Promotion-related information may include information on additionally extending membership on the premise of withdrawal of the user's first input and benefit information related to delivery. For example, benefit information related to delivery may include information that guarantees faster delivery than the delivery benefit service enjoyed through existing membership subscription. In steps 330 and 340, information about benefits provided to the user and information related to promotions provided by the electronic device may be provided on the same page. For example, the electronic device creates a page to prevent membership cancellation in the same or similar format as a pop-up according to the user's first input, and provides information about benefits provided to the user and information related to promotions on the created page. can do.

In step 330 or step 340, the electronic device may check information that an order has been made through a registered membership and delivery is in progress among the user's order history information. For example, if a user places an order before entering a membership cancellation request and the delivery of the product for that order has not been completed while the cancellation request is being entered, the electronic device will display information that the delivery has not been completed as above. You can confirm its existence. The electronic device may provide information about benefits that can be provided if the user maintains membership for the corresponding order.

In step 350, the electronic device may proceed with withdrawal of membership by approving cancellation of membership in response to the user's first input. For example, if it is confirmed that the first information and the second information do not meet the preset conditions, the electronic device does not provide the user with a membership cancellation defense page, but provides information that approves the membership cancellation procedure. can do.

Figure 4 is an example diagram of a page where membership input is performed according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Figure 4 is an example of a page where information about the membership the user has signed up for and input about the membership can be made.

In an embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1) provides a kind of membership management page 400 to a user who has signed up for membership, allowing the user to use a user terminal (e.g., the user terminal (e.g., the user terminal of FIG. 1) The membership management page 400 can be accessed through 130)). On the membership management page 400, the user can check information 410 regarding benefits according to the membership he or she has signed up for, and can check information 420 related to the benefits enjoyed this month through the membership he or she has signed up for.

The information 410 about benefits according to membership may include information about benefits provided according to the membership (eg, paid membership, regular subscription, etc.) to which the user has signed up. For example, the electronic device may provide information about special products with discounted prices only to users who have signed up for membership. As another example, the electronic device may provide information about early morning delivery of fresh foods (e.g., food and beverages, etc.) only to users who have signed up for membership. As another example, an electronic device may provide information that same-day delivery or next-day delivery is guaranteed only to users who have signed up for membership.

The information 420 related to the benefits enjoyed this month through membership may include information related to the benefits enjoyed in the month (eg, June) in which the user accessed the membership management page 400 according to the membership the user signed up for. Here, the information 420 related to the benefits enjoyed this month through membership is only an example, and the electronic device may provide information related to the benefits enjoyed through the membership to which the user is registered, but is not limited thereto. For example, an electronic device allows a user who has signed up for membership to save d won by ordering a time, purchasing b products, and purchasing c special products during the period of June 2020 through June 14, 2020. , information can be provided on the use of early morning delivery for e fresh foods, next-day delivery for f items, and same-day delivery.

The electronic device may obtain a cancellation input for the subscribed membership input on the membership management page 400 from the user's user terminal. For example, when the user performs an input to select the area 430 where the first input can be obtained to cancel membership, the electronic device can obtain the information input to the user terminal. The next steps are shown through FIGS. 5A and 5B.

5A and 5B are exemplary diagrams providing information related to promotions according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Figures 5a and 5b are examples of pages for preventing membership cancellation that can be created according to the user's first input. An electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 110 in FIG. 1) creates a page for preventing membership cancellation in the same or similar format as a pop-up and provides it to the user through a user terminal (e.g., the user terminal 130 in FIG. 1). The electronic device may provide information about benefits provided to the user during the membership subscription period, information related to promotions, and information about optional input for canceling membership.

Referring to FIG. 5A, information 510 about the benefits received by the user includes information on the number of orders ordered through membership, information on the number of items ordered through membership, information on delivery time saved through membership, or information on the delivery time saved through membership. It may include information on reduced purchase costs, etc. For example, the electronic device may provide the user with information related to the benefits the user has received during the membership subscription period, such as ordering a total of n times, purchasing a total of m products, saving a total of p won, and saving a total of q time. . Here, information on the purchase cost saved by the user through membership or information on delivery time saved through membership refers to the purchase cost paid by other users who have not signed up for membership by purchasing the same product purchased by the user who has signed up for membership. It may include information calculated by averaging information or delivery time information.

Referring to FIG. 5B, promotion-related information 520 may include information on additionally extending membership on the premise of withdrawal of the user's first input and benefit information related to delivery. For example, benefit information related to delivery may include information that allows a user who wants to cancel a membership to use the membership free of charge for a certain period of time (e.g., one month) if the user chooses to cancel the cancellation. For another example, benefit information related to delivery may include information that guarantees faster delivery than the delivery benefit service (e.g., same-day delivery, next-day delivery) that the user was enjoying through an existing membership subscription. Here, the information ensuring faster delivery is when the electronic device sends a flag corresponding to identification information that can identify that the information related to the user's membership has changed to the server (e.g., the server 120 in FIG. 1). By transmitting, the electronic device can receive information from the server that assigns a distribution center that can guarantee delivery to the user as quickly as possible and provide delivery-related information to the user.

The selection input information 511 and 512 for membership cancellation may include selection input information 511 maintaining the user's first input and input information 512 corresponding to the user's second input. The second input may include an input that cancels the first input.

Figure 6 is a flowchart for determining whether preset conditions are met, according to various embodiments of the present invention.

6 illustrates the premise that an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1) provides information to prevent cancellation to a user who wants to cancel membership, and checks whether certain conditions have been met during the period of membership use by the user. It can correspond to the process. Checking whether a certain condition is met may correspond to the electronic device actively checking purchase information through the user's membership.

In step 610, the electronic device can check preset conditions. Preset conditions may include a first condition and a second condition. For example, the first condition may include a condition for comparing the order history information of at least one other user based on the user's order history information among the second information.

In step 620, the electronic device may compare the user's order history information among the second information with the first threshold. The electronic device may compare the user's order history information with that of other users. The electronic device may compare the user's membership subscription period information with the second threshold. Regarding the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device may confirm that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders of the user is greater than the average number of orders of at least one other user. For another example, the first condition may include a condition for comparing the first threshold based on the user's order history information among the second information. Regarding the user's order history information among the second information, the electronic device can confirm that the first condition is satisfied when the number of orders by the user is more than 10. In this case, the first threshold may correspond to 10. However, the first threshold may be set differentially according to the user's membership subscription period, and the first threshold is the minimum number of orders for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the input of membership cancellation. This may mean that values differentially applied depending on the user's membership subscription period may be stored in a type of table. The electronic device can be confirmed to have satisfied the first condition when it satisfies at least one of the two example comparison conditions. This is because the order count information may be excessively large among the order history information of at least one other user residing within a preset range, and the number of orders may not be large during the membership subscription period due to the user's personal reasons.

The second condition may include a condition for comparing with the second threshold based on the user's membership subscription period information among the second information. The second threshold may mean the minimum membership subscription period for the electronic device to provide promotion-related information to the user in response to the user's input of membership cancellation. For example, the second threshold may be set to 1 year, and if membership payment is made in units of 1 month, it may be calculated and set in units of months.

In step 650, the electronic device can be confirmed to meet preset conditions. In step 650, the electronic device can check whether preset conditions are met through steps 620, 630, and 640.

Figure 7 is a flowchart of a process in which a user's membership-related information is changed by an input for maintaining membership, according to various embodiments of the present invention.

In step 710, the electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 110 of FIG. 1) may obtain a second input regarding the user's membership. For example, the user may perform an input (eg, a second input) to withdraw the first input regarding membership through a user terminal (eg, the user terminal 130 of FIG. 1). The input that withdraws the first input may correspond to the second input. An input for withdrawing a user's membership cancellation request may correspond to an input for maintaining the user's membership subscription.

In step 720, the electronic device may change information related to the membership of individual users by differentially applying promotion-related information to individual users based on whether a preset condition is met and the second information. On the premise that preset conditions are met, the electronic device can differentially apply promotion-related information to individual users depending on the user's membership subscription period. For example, if the first user's membership subscription period is 12 months, the electronic device applies the information of the benefit of 1 month of additional membership and 1 month of faster delivery in response to the input to withdraw the membership cancellation request. can do. For another example, if the second user's membership subscription period is 24 months, the electronic device applies the information of the benefit of 2 additional months of membership and 2 months of faster delivery in response to the input to withdraw the membership cancellation request. can do. In this way, the electronic device can differentially apply information related to promotions to individual users and change information related to membership of individual users based on the differentially applied information.

In step 730, the electronic device may change information related to the user's membership. In response to the user's input to withdraw the membership cancellation request, the electronic device may apply information related to the promotion and change the information related to the user's membership to reflect the information that the user's membership subscription period has been extended. For example, if a user whose membership period expires on June 30, 2020 requests cancellation of membership on June 14, 2020, but the user later makes an input to withdraw the cancellation request, the electronic device Apply information related to promotions (e.g. offer 1 additional month of membership and offer the benefit of 1 month faster delivery), change information related to membership due date to July 31, 2020, and provide benefit information related to delivery (e.g. 2020) Information that faster delivery is possible from June 14, 2020 to July 13, 2020) can be changed and provided. Information related to the user's membership, for example, information related to the membership deadline and benefit information related to delivery, will be different from the information related to the membership prior to the user's membership cancellation request, so the electronic device reflects this changed information. It can be provided to the user. The electronic device may provide information related to changed membership to the membership management page 400 of FIG. 4 .

In step 740, the electronic device may transmit information to identify information related to changed membership to the server. The electronic device transmits a flag corresponding to identification information that can identify that information related to the user's membership has changed to the server (e.g., server 120 in FIG. 1), and ensures delivery from the server to the user as quickly as possible. Information assigning a distribution center that can be guaranteed may be received and provided to the user.

In step 750, the electronic device may receive promotion-related benefits and provide delivery-related benefits in response to an order request from a user whose membership-related information has changed. Electronic devices can provide faster delivery than before the change to users whose membership-related information has changed by receiving promotion-related benefits and by obtaining an order request after the change. For example, before the change, electronic devices provided users with the benefit of same-day delivery, with product delivery completed before 10 a.m. on the same day when an order was made before 3 p.m. on the same day. Benefits related to the promotion were applied and membership and If the relevant information has changed, we may offer the benefit of product delivery being completed before 6 o'clock on the same day if an order is requested before 3 o'clock on the same day.

Figure 8 is a flowchart of an order based on a user's changed membership-related information, according to various embodiments of the present invention.
