Description

Method and device for providing regular delivery service for women's products{METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE OF FEMALE GOODS}

The embodiments disclosed in the present specification relate to a method and apparatus for providing a regular delivery service for women's products, and more specifically, the time of need for women's products by predicting the demand for women's products based on personal information obtained from a user. It relates to a method and apparatus for shipping to.

Recently, more and more cases are being purchased online than when purchasing products at offline stores. When purchasing products online, it is convenient not only because you can choose from a wider variety of products, but also because you can receive products to your home. In particular, various delivery services are provided for products that are repeatedly used in daily life.

However, in general e-commerce services, the user's purchase intention is passively identified, and the product is sold and delivered simply by the user's order. Accordingly, even for daily necessities that are subject to repetitive demand, users had to grasp the remaining quantity of daily necessities in their possession and complete the online order in time.

For example, women's products, such as sanitary pads, which are used by female consumers regularly, are required for each female cycle, so consumers must visit retail stores and purchase women's products in advance or place orders within online services so that products are delivered on time. do. However, having women's products on time every time entails a lot of effort and hassle. Accordingly, a large amount of women's products are often purchased in advance and used over several cycles. Even in this case, the purchase time is often missed because the remaining quantity is not known. In addition, since there are many items that directly touch the body, it is difficult to purchase an excessive amount of women's items in advance and leave them for a long time.

Meanwhile, in recent years, there is an increasing number of regular delivery services that allow products to be delivered at regular intervals. Regular delivery services are services that automatically purchase and deliver products of a certain type and quantity at predetermined periods.

However, in the existing regular delivery, a certain amount of products are delivered at a predetermined period regardless of the female cycle that is different for each individual, so there may be a problem that women's products are insufficient or that women's products are accumulated before the regular delivery time arrives. have.

In addition, since the existing regular delivery delivers products according to the type and quantity of products set by the user, there is a problem in not actively coping with changes in the user's need for women's products or changes in users' preferences for women's products.

In particular, the female cycle is different for each individual, and the female cycle of the same person is characterized by constantly changing according to the individual's condition and time. In addition, the types of women's products that women prefer are constantly changing according to changes in personal life patterns or needs. For example, as the amount of exercise increases or decreases and the amount of menstruation changes, the types of products a woman wants to use may change, and the quantity of women's products needed may also change.

Therefore, conventional regular delivery services cannot satisfy the needs of women. In particular, it is necessary to change the composition of products delivered and the delivery time of products by actively reflecting the changing women's cycle and types of products.

In this regard, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2000-0024257 relates to a commercial transaction method and apparatus having a function of selectively purchasing a plurality of items. A seller presents terms and conditions for items that can be multiple orders, and a buyer When payment is made by selecting, the seller delivers the ordered items, and the buyer selects the desired items after checking the delivered items, but returns the items that are not selected, and does not decide on a personalized women's product delivery service. can not do it.

In addition to the terms defined above, terms that require explanation will be separately described below.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a periodic delivery device 10 according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the periodic delivery device 10 predicts the user's demand for women's products based on basic information collected from the user, and corrects the predicted demand for women's products using the user's additional information. And the regular delivery device 10 sets delivery information based on the corrected demand for women's products and provides it to the delivery subject.

Specifically, the regular delivery device 10 may provide an e-commerce service for selling products to users, and in particular, may sell women's products online. In this case, the periodic delivery device 10 may be an online shopping mall operated by one sales entity or an intermediary system that mediates online product sales of two or more sales entities.

The periodic delivery device 10 may be implemented as a server-client system, and the system may include an electronic terminal installed with an online service application or web browser for interaction with a user.

In this case, the electronic terminal may be implemented as a computer, portable terminal, television, wearable device, etc. that connects to a remote server through a network or connects to other terminals and servers. Here, the computer includes, for example, a notebook equipped with a web browser, a desktop, a laptop, and the like, and the portable terminal is, for example, a wireless communication device that ensures portability and mobility. , PCS (Personal Communication System), PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)-2000, W-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Wireless Broadband Internet (Wibro), Smart Phone, Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), etc. It may include a (Handheld) based wireless communication device.

In addition, the server may be implemented as a computer capable of communication through a network with an electronic terminal installed with an application for interaction with a user or a web browser, and may include a storage device capable of storing data or data through a third server. You can also save it.

As described above, the periodic delivery device 10 may be implemented in the form of either an electronic terminal or a server-client system, and when implemented as a server, the components constituting the periodic delivery device 10 are physically separated. It may include a plurality of servers.

Here, in addition to the e-commerce service as described above, the regular delivery device 10 may directly perform a service that provides information for management and health of the female cycle, or a service providing information for management and health of the female cycle. It is also possible to receive or collect information related to women's cycles from other third-party entities.

Referring to FIG. 1, a periodic delivery device 10 according to an embodiment may include a control unit 110, a communication unit 120, and a memory unit 130.

The controller 110 controls the overall operation of the periodic delivery device 10 and may include a processor such as a CPU. The control unit 110 may control other components included in the regular delivery device 10 to perform an operation corresponding to a user input received through the user's terminal.

For example, the control unit 110 may execute a program stored in the memory 130, read a file stored in the memory 130, or store a new file in the memory 130.

The control unit 110 may predict a user's demand for women's products, that is, a required period and a required quantity, based on the personal information collected about the user.

First, the controller 110 may provide a query to the user in order to obtain the user's personal information. Of course, demand from the member information entered by the user in the process of signing up as a member of the service provided by the periodic delivery device 10 or information obtained in the process of purchasing a product through the service provided by the periodic delivery device 10 Personal information for prediction can be extracted. For example, information such as a user's gender and age may be collected from member information, and the user's purchase details of women's products may be extracted as personal information for demand prediction.

In addition, when a request for regular delivery of women's products is received from a user, the controller 110 may provide a query for collecting basic information for predicting the user's demand for women's products.

The controller 110 may provide a query related to minimum information necessary to predict a user's female cycle, for example, a last menstrual start date, an average menstrual cycle, and the like. Alternatively, the control unit 110 may collect basic information by providing such a query for the purpose of providing a service providing information related to women's cycle management or women's health before the user requests regular delivery of women's products. .

In addition, the controller 110 may provide the user with a query asking about the past experience regarding the demand for women's products in order to collect the user's personal information. For example, it is possible to obtain response data by providing a query about the experience or complaint of using a specific type of women's products, information on the type or quantity of recently purchased women's products, and the like. In addition, the controller 110 may obtain user's response data to the provided query and extract personal information for predicting the demand for women's products from the obtained response data.

In addition, as described above, the controller 110 may use the user's purchase details of women's products collected for the user as personal information for demand prediction. For example, the control unit 110 may collect information such as a purchase cycle of a user's women's products and an average quantity of each type of women's products from the purchase history of women's products purchased by the user.

More specifically, the control unit 110 may predict a user's demand for women's products, that is, at least a required period and a required quantity, based on basic information in the demand prediction of women's products among the collected personal information.

For example, the controller 110 may predict a required period of women's products and a next menstrual start date based on the last menstrual start date and the average women's cycle included in the user's personal information. Alternatively, the controller 110 may predict the user's female cycle based on the end points of two or more female cycles.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the control unit 110 may predict a user's required quantity of women's products based on basic information.

For example, if the user purchases women's products once every 87 days on average, but the average purchase quantity per time is 75, the control unit 110 determines the women's needs for women's products. On the 29th, the required quantity can be predicted as 25. At this time, the controller 110 may predict the required period and the required quantity so as to have a numerical value that does not deviate from a certain range by referring to the distribution of the required period and the required quantity of all users.

In this case, the control unit 110 may additionally predict information on the type of products required for women's products.

That is, the control unit 110 may predict the user's preferred brand of women's products and the quantity of women's products used by the user during one period of women's cycle based on the user's purchase history or the user's response data.

For example, the control unit 110 may analyze the purchase history of women's products and predict that there are 15 medium-sized women's products and 10 large-sized women's products used by a user during a women's cycle for one period.

Through this, the control unit 110 can predict the user's demand for women's products, including the necessary period and the required quantity, and the required quantity per type of female products.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the control unit 110 collects additional information to correct an error between the predicted demand for women's products based on the basic information and the actual demand for women's products, and uses this to collect the predicted based on the basic information. The demand for women's products can be corrected. Of course, it is expressed that the error is corrected at this time, but the additional information can be basically used to predict the recent change in demand of each user. That is, since user demand is constantly changing, when demand is predicted based on the basic information collected initially, the distance from the actual demand may increase as time passes. Accordingly, the controller 110 may continuously collect additional information in order to minimize an error in prediction due to the passage of time as described above. In this case, the additional information is not necessarily collected periodically, but may be collected, for example, at the most recently predicted necessary period.

To this end, the control unit 110 may receive response data by transmitting a query for collecting additional information to the user at each predicted necessary period, before the predicted necessary time according to the necessary period. Further, the controller 110 may extract additional information from the received response data.

For example, the control unit 110 may inquire about the appropriateness of a delivery time or whether the quantity for each type of delivered female products is satisfied with respect to previously delivered women's products. Specifically, a user interface was constructed so that users can be queried by simply selecting and answering whether the delivery date is too early or late compared to the time when women's products are needed, or whether some types of women's products are excessive or insufficient. I can.

In addition, the control unit 110 may extract additional information from the response data to the query, for example, information on the actual amount of usage by type of previously delivered women's products or the remaining quantity by type of women's products. Alternatively, the control unit 110 may extract additional information on the presence or absence of a type of female product whose quantity is insufficient among previously delivered female products.

Furthermore, the control unit 110 may provide a user with a query about the change in the user's female cycle, and extract additional information on whether the user is pregnant or the change in the female cycle from the response data to the query.

Thereafter, the controller 110 may correct an error in the user's demand for women's products whenever additional information is received.

For example, the controller 110 may obtain the actual quantity used by the size of women's products from the user as additional information, and correct the information on the required quantity.

Or, for example, the control unit 110 may correct the necessary period of women's products by changing the necessary period based on the additional information.

And, for example, if the user is identified as being pregnant based on the additional information obtained from the user, the control unit 110 corrects the predicted type or quantity of feminine products to a product used by a pregnant woman, or You can change the required cycle of the product. Alternatively, the control unit 110 may correct a required time point predicted according to the cycle of women's products based on the user's evaluation of the delivery time.

Thereafter, the control unit 110 may set the delivery information for the user so that the women's products corresponding to the required quantity can be delivered for each predicted necessary period, before the predicted necessary time according to the necessary period.

For example, the control unit 110 predicts based on the required cycle of women's products predicted based on basic information or the required cycle of women's products corrected by additional information, and the menstrual start date predicted in the next female cycle arrives 3 The day before can be set as a required time point, and delivery information can be set so that the required quantity of women's products predicted for the user can be delivered by the time required.

At this time, the delivery information may include information such as the user's name, contact information, address, etc., and information on the type and quantity of women's products subject to delivery, and such delivery information is generated in advance and delivered to the pre-set delivery entity. Can be. At this time, the time point at which the delivery information is delivered to the delivery entity may be, for example, before the average period required for delivery from the time point required. Accordingly, the delivery entity can receive delivery information and complete delivery before the time of need. In addition, when there is only one type of women's products subject to delivery by the service provided by the regular delivery device 10, only information on the required quantity may be included in the delivery information without information on the type.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the controller 110 may request user approval for the set delivery information.

For example, the control unit 110 may provide the set delivery information to the user, and receive confirmation whether a female product is delivered at a desired time required by the user or whether a quantity for each type of female product is appropriate. For example, after the delivery information is generated, the control unit 110 provides the delivery information to the user first before delivery to the delivery entity after the delivery information is generated, and “by December 21st, two medium-sized XX sanitary napkins and one small pack are delivered. It's possible. Would you like to adjust the quantity?” A message such as, etc. can be sent to be pushed as a service message or sent as an SMS message. In addition, a user interface that allows the user to approve, reject, or adjust the date or quantity may be provided together.

In addition, when the user's approval of the transmitted delivery information is confirmed or a rejection intention is not received, the control unit 110 may provide the set delivery information to the delivery subject. In addition, when the user transmits a request to adjust the delivery date or quantity for each type of women's products, the control unit 110 may modify the delivery information accordingly. In this case, the controller 110 may also store information included in the user's request for adjustment as additional information.

When delivering the delivery information to a predetermined delivery entity, the control unit 110 may perform a payment procedure for the user's account according to the quantity of each type of female product included in the delivery information. In this case, when the user has previously registered an automatic payment account or card, payment may be performed using payment information such as registered account or card information.

At this time, the preset delivery subject may be an operator of the regular delivery device 10. In addition, the delivery information may be transmitted to an electronic terminal that accesses the regular delivery device 10 with an operator account used by the operator. In addition, the delivery entity may be a seller who sells women's products corresponding to the types of women's products included in the delivery information. For example, when the periodic delivery device 10 provides a transaction brokerage service, it may be transmitted to an electronic terminal that accesses the periodic delivery device 10 by using a seller account used by a seller with a previously established cooperation relationship.

Further, the delivery subject may be two or more sellers when the type of women's products included in the delivery information is 2 or more, and a seller handling each type of women's products is classified. In this case, the control unit 110 may divide the delivery information into two or more according to the type of women's products, so that they are transmitted to two or more sellers.

Furthermore, the delivery entity may be a business operator that delivers women's products.

Meanwhile, the communication unit 120 may perform wired or wireless communication with other devices or networks. To this end, the communication unit 120 may include a communication module that supports at least one of various wired and wireless communication methods. For example, the communication module may be implemented in the form of a chipset.

The wireless communication supported by the communication unit 120 may be, for example, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), or Near Field Communication (NFC). In addition, wired communication supported by the communication unit 120 may be, for example, USB or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).

Various types of data such as files, applications, and programs may be installed and stored in the memory unit 130. The controller 110 may access and use data stored in the memory unit 130, or may store new data in the memory unit 130. Also, the control unit 110 may execute a program installed in the memory unit 130.

The memory unit 130 may store personal information obtained from a user. In addition, the memory unit 130 may store a query to be provided to a user for collection of personal information or additional information, and may store user response data to the query. In addition, the memory unit 130 may record and manage the purchase details of women's products for each user.

2 to 5 are flow charts for explaining a regular delivery method according to an embodiment.

The periodic delivery method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 includes steps processed in a time series by the periodic delivery device 10 shown in FIG. 1. Therefore, even if omitted below, the contents described above with respect to the periodic delivery device 10 shown in FIG. 1 may also be applied to the periodic delivery method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 5.

Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method of providing a regular delivery service for women's products.

First, the periodic delivery device 10 may predict a user's demand for women's products-including a necessary cycle and a required quantity-based on the personal information collected about the user (S2001). Of course, the demand at this time may further include information on the type of women's products when there are two or more types of women's products delivered by the regular delivery device 10.

The periodic delivery device 10 may provide a user interface for collecting personal information necessary for predicting the demand for women's products from the user, and may collect personal information of the user through the provided interface. In addition, the regular delivery device 10 may predict the demand for women's products by collecting the user's response data to the provided query as personal information.

At this time, according to the embodiment, the regular delivery device 10 uses the additional information to minimize the error between the user's demand for women's products predicted based on the basic information and the actual demand for women's products, and the women's products predicted in step S2001. It can also compensate for the demand of

3 is a flow chart showing in detail the process of predicting and correcting the demand for women's products by the regular delivery device 10. Referring to FIG. 3, the periodic delivery device 10 may collect basic information necessary for demand prediction (S3001).

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may provide a user with an inquiry about the last menstrual start date, an average female cycle, and the like, and obtain response data to the inquiry from the user.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the periodic delivery device 10 may provide a query asking a user's past experience regarding the demand for women's products necessary for predicting the required quantity.

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may provide a query to the user for'types of women's products used by the user during the past women's cycle' or'quantity of each type of women's products used in the women's cycle'. You can obtain response data for a query.

Alternatively, according to an embodiment, the periodic delivery device 10 may collect purchase details of the user's women's products. For example, the periodic delivery device 10 may extract the purchase details of the user's past women's products already recorded for the user and use it as personal information.

In addition, the regular delivery device 10 may predict the user's demand for women's products based on the basic information (S3002).

To this end, the periodic delivery device 10 may extract basic information from the response data in step S3001, and predict a user's required period of women's products, a required quantity, etc. based on the extracted basic information.

For example, the periodic delivery device 10 may grasp the user's required cycle and calculate the next menstrual start date based on information on the “last menstrual start date, average female cycle” that is basic information obtained from the user.

Or, for example, the periodic delivery device 10 may predict the user's required period and required quantity of women's products based on the purchase date of women's products included in the collected women's purchase history and the quantity of women's products.

And the periodic delivery device 10 may collect additional information for correcting an error between the predicted demand and the actual demand in step S3002 (S3003).

To this end, the regular delivery device 10 may provide an additional query to the user in order to collect additional information.

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may provide a user with an inquiry about the appropriateness of the delivery time of women's products previously delivered, correct the user's necessary cycle from the response data to the inquiry, and also The viewpoint can be additionally predicted.

Or, for example, the periodic delivery device 10 may provide a user with a query about the remaining quantity of women's products previously delivered, and from the response data to the query, the type and quantity of women's products remaining after the user uses it. Additional information can be extracted.

And the regular delivery device 10 may correct the demand for women's products predicted in step S3002 based on the additional information collected in step S3003 (S3004).

For example, after the periodic delivery device 10 is predicted to require 20 medium-sized and 10 large-sized women's products at a cycle of 28 days in step S3002, the increase in body size and menstrual blood count from the additional information collected from the user. By reflecting information on the increase, etc., 10 medium-sized and 30 large-sized women's products are required in a cycle of 28 days, and demand can be changed and forecast.

In addition, the regular delivery device 10 may set delivery information of women's products based on the predicted demand (S2002).

That is, the periodic delivery device 10 may set delivery information including a required cycle of women's products and a required quantity for a type of required product predicted through step S2001.

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may set a predicted time when a user needs a female product, a few days before the time of need, as the expected arrival date, and set the required quantity of women's products based on the required cycle of women's products. However, it is possible to set the required quantity for each type of necessary products that constitute the women's products to be delivered.

Thereafter, the regular delivery device 10 may provide the delivery information set in step S2002 to a preset delivery subject (S2003).

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may provide delivery information to an operator or a seller in cooperation. Alternatively, the regular delivery device 10 may provide delivery information by setting the nearest offline store as a delivery subject based on an address included in the user's personal information.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method of providing a service for regularly delivering women's products will be described with reference to FIG. 4. However, for the convenience of explanation, the description of the same contents is omitted.

First, the regular delivery device 10 may collect basic information necessary to predict the demand for women's products (S4001), and predict the demand for women's products based on the collected basic information (S4002).

And the periodic delivery device 10 determines whether the need for the women's products is imminent by the user (S4003), and if the time of need is imminent, the periodic delivery device 10 provides delivery information based on the predicted demand for women's products. Can be set (S4004).

For example, the periodic delivery device 10 generates delivery information including information on the required quantity of women's products and the quantity of additional required products when the predicted required time is close according to the required cycle predicted in step S4002. can do.

And the regular delivery device 10 may provide the delivery information set in step S4004 to the delivery subject (S4005).

Thereafter, the regular delivery device 10 can determine whether the user's required cycle predicted in step S4002 has elapsed (S4006), and when the necessary cycle of women's products elapses, correct the demand for women's products predicted in step S4002 from the user. Additional information necessary for this can be collected (S4007).

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may collect additional information from the user by providing a query about the suitability for delivery according to the demand of women's products predicted in step S4002.

For example, the regular delivery device 10 may provide a query to the user about whether the delivery time is appropriate, whether the required quantity of women's products is appropriate, whether the quantity of each required product of women's products is appropriate, etc. can be provided to the user. Additional information can be extracted from the user's response data for.

Further, the regular delivery device 10 may correct an error between the demand for women's products predicted in step S4002 and the actual demand for women's products based on the additional information extracted in step S4007 (S4008).

Thereafter, the periodic delivery device 10 may transition to step S4003 and repeat S4003 to S4008.

Through this, by actively correcting the demand for women's products predicted based on the user's personal information, it is possible to perform the same prediction as the actual user's demand for women's products, and through this, customized women's products can be delivered to users on a regular basis. .

In addition, whenever the user's demand changes during this process, rather than allowing the user to first access the service and modify the information, it minimizes the user's hassle and changes the demand by asking the user to receive a response first within the service. To be able to reflect more actively.

Meanwhile, FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing delivery information. 2 and 5, the regular delivery device 10 may request the user's approval for the delivery information set through step S2002 (5001).

For example, the regular delivery device 10 provides the user with delivery information set based on the demand for women's products predicted through step S2001, and requests approval for whether the demand for women's products is close to or equal to the actual user's demand. You can do it to the user.

In addition, the periodic delivery device 10 can detect whether the user approves the delivery information (S5002), and when the user approves the delivery information, the periodic delivery device 10 receives the delivery information approved by the user. It can be provided to the delivery entity (S5003).

On the contrary, if the user does not approve the delivery information, the regular delivery device 10 may stop providing the delivery information and proceed to step S2001 to predict the user's demand for women's products again. In particular, if the user does not approve the delivery information, the forecast of demand may be corrected by receiving additional information about specific demand from the user again.

Through this, by obtaining approval from the user before shipping the women's products according to the demand for women's products predicted based on the user's personal information, women's products close to the demands of the women's products actually used by the user can be delivered.
