Description

How to provide discount service for O2O based expiration date{METHOD FOR PROVIDING ONLINE TO OFFLINE BASED IMMINENT EXPIRY DATE PRODUCT SALE SERVICE}

The present invention relates to a method for providing an O2O-based shelf life discount service, and provides a method for promoting sales by notifying users of discount period products online at a discounted price.

Since the quality of food changes over time and eventually becomes unusable or cannot be distributed, it is mandatory in most countries to indicate the expiration date of food in food labeling for food safety. The food labeling system including the expiration date is mandatory. Because sales are allowed only until that time by setting and displaying the expiration date, it is possible to clearly and uniformly regulate the distribution of spoiled or deteriorated foods, thereby preventing food safety accidents in advance, and food safety before and after the expiration date. The responsibility for the accident can be clarified.

At this time, as the expiration date has arrived, a method of applying a discount rate has been researched and developed. In this regard, in Korean Patent Publication No. 2013-0018430 (published on February 22, 2013), items of products limited to the expiration date And input and store information about the expiration date, receive information on the product and the expiration date of the product that is limited to the expiration date from the merchant terminal in real time, determine the discount rate based on this, and discount the product that is limited to the expiration date. Disclosed is a configuration in which content is generated, transmitted to a customer, and a purchase is determined using a discount coupon.

However, most people misrecognize the expiration date as the intake period, so they do not want to buy items that do not have a long expiration date. In addition, even if the expiration date has not expired, the consumer's psychology is reflected, and the disposal rate and economic loss of the food whose expiration date has not passed are on the rise, and as a result, the irreversible environment along with the waste of resources that are wasted as food waste. It causes pollution. Accordingly, if the sums of economic losses due to disposal at the present time, as well as the costs of restoring environmental pollution in the future, are further increased.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the misrecognition that the expiration date and the ingestion period are the same is excluded, and the product is divided into categories and the expiration date and the ingestion period are separately managed, and the expiration date is imminent and the sales period is imminent. If the ingestion period exceeds the preset reference value, sales can be promoted by notifying the customer together, and by using the online-to-offline service, you can order online and pick it up offline, GPS and identification code It is possible to provide a method of providing an O2O-based expiration date discount service that can reduce the pick-up time by using, for example. However, the technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problem as described above, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention, the remaining period from the seller terminal or the sales information providing server linked with the seller terminal to the store location of the seller terminal, the expiration date based on the current time Receiving a list of shelf life products that are less than the preset deadline, merchandiser terminal, mapping and storing the list of received shelf life products and store locations, and storing it in a database, collecting the location of the user terminal from the user terminal and , Extracting a list of at least one store and shelf life products included within a preset radius based on the location of the user terminal, outputting a list of shelf life products extracted to the user terminal, and keywords in the user terminal When payment is made by selecting any one of the searched or output list, providing an identification code for confirming payment to the user terminal, and reducing the quantity of the expiration date imposed product from the list of stored expiration date implications. Steps.

According to any one of the above-described problem solving means of the present invention, the misrecognition that the expiration date and the ingestion period are the same is excluded, and the product is divided into categories to separately manage the expiration date and the ingestion period, and the expiration date is imminent. Therefore, the sales deadline is tight, but if the intake period exceeds the preset reference value, the customer can be promoted by notifying the customer together, and online-to-offline service can be used to order online and pick up offline immediately. In addition, it is possible to reduce the pick-up time by using GPS and identification codes.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining a server for providing an expiration date discount product included in the system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an implementation of an O2O based expiration date discount product discount service according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure for explaining an Example.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server 300 for providing an expiration date discount product, the receiving unit 310, a database unit 320, an extraction unit 330, an output unit 340, a supply unit 350, and an inventory unit 360, a pickup unit 370, and a prediction unit 380.

The expiration date discount product discount service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention or another server (not shown) operating in conjunction with at least one user terminal 100 and at least one seller terminal 400 O2O-based shelf life product discount service When transmitting an application, program, app page, web page, etc., at least one user terminal 100 and at least one seller terminal 400, O2O-based shelf life product discount You can install or open service applications, programs, app pages, web pages, and more. In addition, the service program may be driven in at least one user terminal 100 and at least one seller terminal 400 using a script executed in a web browser. Here, a web browser is a program that enables the use of the world wide web (WWW) service, and refers to a program that receives and displays hypertext written in hypertext mark-up language (HTML), for example, Netscape. , Explorer, Chrome, and the like. Also, the application means an application on the terminal, and includes, for example, an app that is executed on a mobile terminal (smartphone).

Referring to Figure 2, the receiving unit 310, the seller terminal 400 or the seller terminal 400 from the sales information providing server 500 from the merchant terminal 400, the store location, the shelf life based on the current time A list of products with an expiration date of which the remaining period until is less than a preset expiration date may be received. At this time, when receiving by the receiving unit 310, the image or image taken by the seller terminal 400 is analyzed through text recognition or the seller terminal 400 already receives the database barcode or data distribution. It is possible to receive a list of products with an imminent deadline. In the former case, the receiving unit 310, from the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 linked with the seller terminal 400 to the store location of the seller terminal 400, until the expiration date based on the current time When receiving a list of products with an expiration date of which the remaining period is less than a preset expiration date, a character recognition interface may be provided so that the seller terminal 400 recognizes the character of the expiration date printed or attached to the product. At this time, the receiving unit 310 performs a pre-processing process including removal of a sharp spot, smoothing, hook removal, filtering, and dot reduction to remove noise in a frame within an image or video of a shelf life photographed by the seller terminal 400. Can. Then, the receiving unit 310 may perform a normalization process of aligning the position, size, slope, and bottom line of the character recognition object corresponding to the expiration date. Also, the receiving unit 310 may perform a post-processing process of reviewing the character recognition object that has undergone the normalization process in units of words or more.

In this case, a feature point extraction method among image processing techniques may be used in the character recognition process. As the size and position of the input image are all different, the task of normalizing to a certain position and size should be performed as described above. Accordingly, the receiving unit 310 searches for an area in which a letter exists using the input image, and when the area of the searched letter is larger than a preset area size, the receiving part 310 is reduced and vice versa. In addition, when removing noise from the receiver 310, a chain code may be used. If the chain code is not connected for a certain length, it may be regarded as noise and removed. When the pre-processing is completed in this way, the feature points can be extracted, and the receiving unit 310 has a zoning technique that analyzes information of each region through region division, and a ratio of histogram projection and aspect ratio of the entire image. Can be used. In addition, the receiving unit 310 divides the binarized image into a predetermined number in a horizontal and vertical direction to divide the space, expresses the number of black pixels in each region as a ratio targeting the number of black pixels in the entire image, and applies binarization zoning to the region. As many feature points as possible can be extracted. In this case, the receiving unit 310 may also use a length-to-length ratio as a feature, or extract a feature point through histogram projection. In addition to the above-described methods, various character recognition methods may be used, and as described above, characters may be recognized by extracting features in a frame within an image as well as an image.

On the other hand, in the latter case, the receiving unit 310 is distributed based on the current location, the store location of the seller terminal 400 from the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 linked with the seller terminal 400. When receiving a list of products with an expiration date of which the remaining period until the expiration date is less than a preset expiration date, the identification code of the expiration date collected from the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 linked with the seller terminal 400 is embedded. Can be collected. At this time, the receiving unit 310 may analyze the expiration date and product data for each of the collected expiration date built-in identification code and pre-stored expiration date built-in identification code, and filter the list of expiration date impending products that are less than the preset expiration date. It can be extracted and filtered, and the list of the expiration date extracted products can be processed into a list provided by the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 linked with the seller terminal 400. Here, the identification code embedded in the expiration date may include a time code in which the time is included in the expiration date. Accordingly, the user can provide an expiration date imminent product to the receiver 310 just by using a pre-built database or by scanning a barcode or the like without having to take an image or shoot an image with a camera using a terminal. . Alternatively, if the seller terminal 400 agrees to use the information, it is also possible to access the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 from the receiving unit 310 to read and extract the information.

The database unit 320 may map and store the seller terminal 400, a list of received shelf life products, and a store location by mapping them. At this time, the databaseization unit 320 sorts and stores the list of received shelf life products by product category, and if the shelf life of the product categories exceeds, the shelf life of the preset product category in which corruption starts quickly. As the deadline approaches, the discount rate can be applied by increasing the discount rate. For example, the user feels that the frozen dumplings are close to the expiration date and the triangular gimbap is close to the expiration date. This is because it is actually a product that easily decays at room temperature, but in the case of milk or instant products, if the shelf life actually approaches, it will not sell well, or if it is the same value, it may give a feeling that the remaining shelf life is fresh. In order for consumers to choose the product, a price discount to compensate for it is needed more than other products. Accordingly, the databaseization unit 320 database the degree of corruption progress over time, classify products into categories based on this, and graphs that measure the degree of corruption progress, price, and consumer's psychology as parameters. The price discount rate can be adjusted to respond. Of course, it will be apparent that the price does not exclude that the designated price set by the seller terminal 400 can be used.

The extracting unit 330 collects the location of the user terminal 100 from the user terminal 100, and of at least one store and an expiration date of a product included within a preset radius around the location of the user terminal 100. You can extract the list. At this time, the extraction unit 330 may be extracted when a request is made by the user terminal 100, for example, when an application is executed, but may be continuously extracted using GPS collected by the user terminal 100. Or, it can be extracted to be synchronized with time and place. At this time, the time may be a pushable time set by the user. In addition, the extracting unit 330 may use the big data analysis result and prediction result of the user terminal 100 when extracting the list of products with an expiration date.

The output unit 340 may output a list of expiration date products that have been extracted to the user terminal 100. At this time, the output unit 340 monitors the location of the user terminal 100, and if the user terminal 100 is the same, including at least one store location and a preset tolerance range, to the user terminal 100 It is possible to control to output a list of products with an expiration date registered at least one store and a discount rate or discount price. For example, even if the user has set the alarm of the application of the present invention to proceed in the background and the alarm is set to not go up to the foreground, if the user is passing through the store through the forced push or stays in the store for a predetermined time. By forcing this to be output, the expiration date of the expiration date can be exhausted first. Of course, in addition to the forced push, it is not excluded to push to correspond to the user's setting. At this time, the output unit 340 may inform that the expiration date and the intake period are different. In this case, the expiration date may be set differently for each category, and the intake period may be stored by being mapped and stored for each product or category and output when the user terminal 100 outputs it.

For example, the quality change of pH, general bacterial count, and E. coli count after the expiration date for 3 types of milk (ultra-high temperature sterilized products), 4 types of milk beverages (coffee drinks), and 2 types of cheese sold in a hypermarket Results show that up to 50 days for milk, up to 30 days for milk and up to 70 days for cheese, no specific changes in quality or safety issues are identified. This means that it is important to judge whether or not it is possible to ingest by checking whether the normal taste, smell, or color has changed, rather than immediately discarding it, because the expiration of the expiration date does not indicate a change in the product. In addition, in order to minimize deterioration in the storage process of the product, the storage temperature is important, and in particular, it may deteriorate even within the shelf life if not stored at a normal refrigeration temperature. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, it reflects the characteristics of each item of food and can further add a more granular shelf life, that is, the intake period. For example, dried noodles are safe for consumption even after 50 days after expiration date and 25 days for frozen dumplings, so in the present invention, for items that can be stored for a long period of time rather than uniformly applying the expiration date, The application of the quality before date is expanded, and a database for the use by date is built for items with high risk of corruption and deterioration due to the high quality change rate, and the output unit 340 By outputting it, the user is reminded that even if a purchase is made, it can be consumed for a certain period without being eaten immediately.

In this case, the benefits and welfare changes of the food expiration date or the new food expiration date can be estimated and used by using the willingness to pay (WTP) of the virtual value estimation method that analyzes the economic value for food safety. Proportional relations to the remaining food expiry (Food Period) at any point in the expiration date may be used. At this time, the amount the consumer wants to pay is determined by the remaining food deadline, but there may be other factors that may affect the intention to pay in addition to the food deadline. Accordingly, it is possible to estimate the function of the willingness to pay according to the remaining food deadline and to estimate changes in consumer surplus and producer sales following the introduction of a new food deadline (quality deadline, consumption deadline). According to the method described above, the payment intention decreases as time passes in all foods, that is, as the remaining food expiry date decreases. In particular, in the case of milk, about 43.7% of the remaining food expiry date was not purchased from the remaining time, so both consumer welfare and producer sales decreased. Therefore, it is recommended to inform the fact that the food within the expiration date is safe and the exact meaning of the expiration date to induce purchases until the expiration date, or to increase the overall remaining food expiry date by introducing a new food expiration date such as a quality deadline or expiration date. It can be seen that a discussion is needed. Accordingly, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when marketing at the time of expiration of the shelf life, it is possible to increase the consumer's intention to pay by granting the remaining food deadline for each food and notifying the user.

The providing unit 350 may provide an identification code for confirming payment with the user terminal 100 when payment is made by selecting one of the keyword search or the output list from the user terminal 100. At this time, the identification code is not limited to a barcode, and various codes such as a QR code and an NFC code may exist, and may be a text serial number or a form or format.

The inventory unit 360 may reduce the quantity of the shelf-life products that have been settled in the list of stored shelf-life products. Most products are substitutes, but in the case of a product with an expiration date, it is converted to a specific product under the terms of an expiration date and an expiration date. Accordingly, if the corresponding inventory is not managed, there may be a case where there are many buyers who have made payment, but there is no actual product. Accordingly, the inventory unit 360 may reduce the inventory of the corresponding product in the store where the purchase of the product has occurred, so that other customers do not select the same product.

When the payment is made by selecting one of the keyword search or the output list from the user terminal 100 in the pickup unit 370, and after providing the identification code for confirming the payment to the user terminal 100, the seller terminal 400 ) Or when the merchant terminal 400 is interlocked with the merchant terminal 400 or scans or reads the identification code from the merchant terminal registered in the seller terminal 400, check the payment of the user terminal 100 and the type of purchased product to perform payment authentication. When payment authentication is completed, an authentication confirmation event may be transmitted to the seller terminal 400 or the merchant terminal. Accordingly, the user can directly pick up the product without additional payment at the store. Therefore, the method of providing the discount service for the expiration date based on the O2O may be an online to offline (O2O) service for receiving a product offline after payment online.

The prediction unit 380, from the receiving unit 310, from the seller terminal 400 or the sales information providing server 500 linked with the seller terminal 400, the store location of the seller terminal 400, the expiration date based on the current time Before receiving the list of products with an expiration date of which the remaining period until is less than a preset expiration date, a list of products paid by the user terminal 100 may be collected from the user terminal 100. In addition, the prediction unit 380 may map and store the product list and the user terminal 100 and update the product list periodically or in real time. In addition, the prediction unit 380 generates a list of products collected by the user terminal 100 as a history log, grasps a purchase cycle for each product, and based on a purchase cycle for each product, a user should purchase products based on the current time You can extract and update the list of. At this time, when a list of products with an expiration date is received from the seller terminal 400, if the list of the products with an expiration date of the expiration date matches the list of products to be purchased by the user, the expiration date of the expiration date to the user terminal 100 You can provide a list of

Similar but different concept services may be provided. That is, the prediction unit 380 is distributed based on the store location of the seller terminal 400 from the seller terminal 400 or the seller information providing server 500 linked to the seller terminal 400 or the current time in the receiver 310. Before receiving a list of products with an expiration date of which the remaining period until the deadline is less than a preset deadline, the list of products paid by the user terminal 100 is collected from the user terminal 100, and the list of products and the user terminal ( 100) and store and update the list of products periodically or in real time. In this case, the prediction unit 380 may generate a list of products collected by the user terminal 100 as a history log and grasp a purchase cycle for each product, and the prediction unit 380 may allow the user to determine the purchase cycle for each product. The list of products to be purchased can be extracted and updated based on the current time. At this time, if a list of products with an expiration date is received from the seller terminal 400, if the list of products with an expiration date is identical to the list of products to be purchased by the user, the payment means registered in the user terminal 100 You can pay for the product with a matching shelf life.

For example, suppose user A lives with lactic acid bacteria yogurt once every two weeks to buy tobacco. At this time, the type of lactic acid bacteria yogurt that user A lives in is B and the region is C. And, it is assumed that the last purchase date is two weeks ago. At this time, it was confirmed that the pattern for user A to buy lactic acid bacteria yogurt once every two weeks, and if today is the second week, the prediction unit 380 is a product with a shelf life of type B yogurt in region C today. It is to check if it came out. Then, the prediction unit 380, if there is a product with an imminent shelf life of type B yogurt in region C, performs payment with a card registered by user A, and then the user terminal 100, which is the terminal of user A And user A can simply go to (pick up) it. In this case, since there is no process of selecting, selecting, and ordering by the user, the time cost for selecting can be reduced. In the early stages of the establishment of this service, it may feel like a tonic, but in the case of accurately predicting the user's pattern through big data and repeating the learning in consideration of the error rate, the user cannot care enough when the user really needs it. Since the items that could not be purchased are automatically settled and the user only needs to go to find them, the same effect can be achieved by the secretary, and the user's convenience can be maximized.

At this time, the predictive model using big data may vary. For example, a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be used, which is a technique derived from an artificial neural network (ANN). First, when looking at an artificial neural network, the artificial neural network is designed to mimic the connection of the nerves of the human brain to a digital computer, and is composed of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. There are artificial neurons in the hidden layer, and the signals received from the input layer are combined into a single value and converted into an output through the activation function. In the activation function, the combined inputs maintain a very low value until the threshold is crossed, and then the inputs are summed and the threshold is activated and the output becomes high. The activation function is divided into a combination function that combines all inputs into a single value and a transfer function that converts the value of the combination function. Typical conversion functions are sigmoid, linear, and hyperbolic tangent. In CNN, a convolutional layer and a pooling layer are added to an artificial neural network. The convolution layer handles the convolution operation and filters the input data. The convolution operation is applied to the input data by moving the filter window at regular intervals. At this time, the bias information (Bias) is added to the data after applying the filter. Pulling is an operation that reduces the space in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a 2×2 area is aggregated as one element to reduce the space size. Max pooling is the operation to find the maximum value, and 2×2 represents the size of the target area.

Alternatively, word embedding may be used, and word embedding is a technique for converting text information into numerical information that can be analyzed, and the main techniques are word2vec, doc2vec, and char2vec. First, word2vec has two algorithms: Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) that predicts the center word based on the word (Word) and Skip-Gram, which predicts the surrounding word with a specific center word. have. In the Skip-Gram algorithm, when the central word and surrounding words are determined, learning is performed in the direction of maximizing the following formula. doc2vec (or Paragraph2vec) is a technique for unsupervised learning of units of sentences or entire documents. There are two algorithms: Distributed memory (dm) and Distributed bag of words. Finally, char2vec is a technique that uses characters, which are smaller units than words. Of course, it will be apparent that various methods for learning big data and deriving prediction results in addition to the above-described methods can be used.

Hereinafter, the operation process according to the configuration of the server for providing a discount service for a product with an expiration date of FIG. 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 as an example. However, the embodiment is only one of various embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent that it is not limited thereto.
