These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It should be understood that the various embodiments of the present invention are different, but need not be mutually exclusive. For example, certain features, structures, and characteristics described herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in connection with an embodiment.

It is also to be understood that the position or arrangement of the individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be varied without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is to be limited only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled, if properly explained. In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several views.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an entire system including a server 100 providing a set of food or a lunch box according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, an entire system for providing a set of food or a lunch box may include a server 100, a consumer terminal 200, etc., and the server 100 includes a processor 110, a communication unit 120, and the like can do. For reference, the server 100 may include a control device (which may be referred to as a control computer, a control server, or a control terminal, for example).

Specifically, when the consumer selects a specific food ingredient set or a specific lunch box, in a state in which the consumer is provided with one or more food ingredient sets or lunch box information, the processor 110 instructs the consumer to select a specific food ingredient set or at least one (Hereinafter, referred to as '(i) process') for providing component information and providing a user interface for supporting a consumer to select an option of each component.

Here, the time point at which one or more food ingredient sets or lunch box information is provided to the consumer is determined by the user when the consumer accesses the website or application provided by the server 100 according to the present invention, The user inputs a keyword into the search window of a web site provided by the server 100, or inputs a keyword for health, food, or the like in another portal site (e.g., 'diet' The 'diet lunch box' provided by the server 100 on the search result page may be provided as an advertisement image or a link), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
