Description

Terminal for providing trend analysis services

The present invention relates to a terminal and a method for providing a trend analysis service, and more particularly, to a terminal and a method for providing a trend analysis service based on tag information mapped to order data.

In general, a transaction between a wholesaler that supplies fashion products such as clothing and a retailer that sells products supplied from the wholesaler to consumers is made based on a predetermined order. In other words, when a retailer receives an order for a product from a consumer, counts the orders, and places an order to the wholesaler, the wholesaler delivers the product to the retailer according to the counted quantity. In this case, in general, the retailer prepays the price of the product at the same time as the order, and the wholesaler checks the stock of the product after payment and releases it or manufactures the product in insufficient quantity.

Retailers that sell products to consumers are mostly open during the day, while wholesalers that manufacture and distribute products in bulk are usually open late at night or early in the morning. According to such a conventional wholesale and retail transaction method, when a retailer inquires a wholesaler for a restocking schedule or makes a request to change the quantity, size, color, etc. of a required product, considerable inconvenience is experienced. Due to these problems, most retailers have no choice but to operate their business with a great burden.

While solving these problems, wholesale/retail brokerage services such as purchasing are emerging in order to secure reliability and predictability between wholesalers and retailers to provide product shipment and delivery processing.

Purchasing means purchasing goods for the purpose of commerce in the dictionary, but in a wholesale/retail service handling clothing, order management and order management and delivery of goods received from wholesalers to retailers means brokerage.

As a result, purchasers engaged in purchasing operations must send orders received from retailers to the wholesalers on the same day, and complete collection and delivery. Purchasing business requires both promptness and accuracy due to the nature of the business, but in reality, the work efficiency is very low, such as cutting the contents of the order received from the retailer with scissors one by one and sending a picture to the wholesaler.

In order to solve this problem, various wholesale/retail transaction brokerage systems have been proposed that store and manage order information as electronic data in an automated form.

However, the current system requires a computer installed with specific wholesale/retail transaction brokerage software, and has limitations in that it is possible to process order data normally only by using a unified order form between wholesale, retail, and purchase.

This limitation not only makes real-time processing difficult, but also hinders data compatibility, which is inconvenient to rewrite and input the personalized order forms used by each wholesaler or retailer for individual convenience according to the transaction brokerage software form. this exists

Due to these inconveniences, not only the usability and convenience of the software are reduced, but also excessive time is required to rewrite the order form, and there is a problem that work processing time may be rather longer if modifications are made.

On the other hand, in general, the current trend analysis service is centered on the purchase history of the end consumer, regardless of wholesale/retail transactions. For example, trend analysis of popular products, etc. is being performed only by relying on end-user information such as the number of reviews, clicks, recommendations, and individual sales of end-users.

However, trend factors to be considered in distribution such as wholesale or retail of wholesalers or retailers may be completely different from those of end consumers. For such an analysis, it is very difficult to analyze and predict the distribution considering wholesalers or retailers only with the final consumer's sales information, as it is required to compare the distribution with other competitors for mass-buyed products such as clothing.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above conventional circumstances, and based on tag information mapped to standardized order data, it is possible to provide an order data analysis service according to a trend analysis request of a distributor such as a wholesaler or a retailer. An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal and a method for providing a tag-based analysis service of order data.

In order to achieve the above object, a terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a terminal capable of communicating with a service providing device that provides an order management service between retail, wholesale, and purchase, and receives a search request to provide the service. input to the providing device; a receiving unit for receiving, from the service providing device, wholesale trend analysis information on a specific product item in a specific region based on a search result searched according to the contents of the search request; and a display unit for displaying the search result and the wholesale trend analysis information.

In addition, in order to achieve the above object, a method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is an operating method of a terminal capable of communicating with a service providing device that provides an order management service between retail, wholesale, and purchase, sending a search request to the service providing device; receiving, from the service providing device, wholesale trend analysis information on a specific product item in a specific region based on a search result searched according to the contents of the search request; and displaying the search result and the wholesale trend analysis information on a screen.

According to the present invention having such a configuration, it is possible to analyze an effective trend element required by distributors such as wholesalers or retailers based on tag information (feature information) mapped to standardized order data, and accordingly Analytical information can be provided.

Due to this, it is possible to easily handle trend prediction analysis considering wholesalers or retailers.

In particular, it is possible to provide wholesale-related information (eg, a shopping mall where a specific item is sold well, a building floor, etc.) of a popular product by region according to a trend analysis of the wholesale information.

The standardization processing unit 120 generates standardized order data by performing conversion processing corresponding to the order form information from the order data management unit 110 . The generated standardized order data may be stored in the database management unit 140 .

Here, the standardization processing unit 120 may generate standardized order data by analyzing and mapping the order book information according to preset order book conversion rule setting information. The order book conversion rule setting information may be variably determined according to the order form format and retailer information corresponding to the order form.

For example, the order book conversion rule setting information may include text rule information for extracting standardized order data from text obtained from an order form excel file of a specific retail store format. In addition, the order book conversion rule setting information may include batch conversion rule information for extracting information necessary for standardized order data from a specific location in the order book.

Such text rule information and batch conversion rule information may be selectively included in order book conversion rule setting information for each retail store. Accordingly, the standardization processing unit 120 may generate standardized order data through automated processing based on a set rule without separately modifying or re-entering the order form for each retail store.

For example, the information included in the standardized order data may include retailer information of the retail terminal 300 , product name, product option, number of products, special items, wholesaler name, address, wholesale to receive an order for the wholesaler. It may include a contact information of the terminal 400, an order method, and the like.

The order service unit 181 may provide registration information of standardized order data as status information to the wholesale terminal 400 , the purchase terminal 200 , or the retail terminal 300 . Meanwhile, the ordering service 181 may generate a new order form according to an order request from the retail terminal 300 and transmit it to the purchase terminal 200 or the wholesale terminal 400 .

In order to provide such status information and to provide input/output services from the purchase terminal 200, the retail terminal 300 and the wholesale terminal 400, the interface processing unit 130 generates an interface for service provision, or performs related data processing. can be done

For example, the interface processing unit 130 is a purchase brokerage service, a retail order data management service, or a wholesale order data management service through an application API accessible from the purchase terminal 200, the retail terminal 300 or the wholesale terminal 400. can provide In addition, the interface processing unit 130 generates a web interface capable of online input/output according to the service, and provides link information corresponding to the web interface to the purchase terminal 200 , the retail terminal 300 or the wholesale terminal 400 . can Also, the interface processing unit 130 may receive information input through an application API or a web interface and transmit it to the service providing unit 180 .

In particular, the interface processing unit 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, based on the standardized order data, provides registration information of the standardized order data and status information corresponding thereto, and order-related wholesale terminal 400, the retail terminal 300, and the purchase terminal 200 may also provide an order dialog interface that can transmit and receive a dialog message.

Such an order conversation interface may mutually limit or extend the dialogue between each wholesale terminal 400, the retail terminal 300, or the purchase terminal 200, and state information based on standardized order data (eg, a conversation message) For example, pickup / out of stock / undelivered, etc.) can be output together to facilitate business processing between each operator.

And, the message information input and output on the order dialog interface may be collected, stored, and managed through the message processing unit 150 . The message processing unit 150 may store and manage the conversation message through the order conversation interface in the database management unit 140, and may perform automated processing such as correction, change, and input of special items according to the input of the message. have.

The conversation message of the message processing unit 150 may be stored and managed in correspondence with each retail terminal 300 , the wholesale terminal 400 , and the purchase terminal 200 . Such a conversation message may then be analyzed and processed by the analysis unit 170 to be processed as analysis data such as product defect rate, friendliness, response time, and the like.

Meanwhile, the tagging processing unit 160 may perform tag information input processing for analysis of standardized order data. Standardized order data according to an embodiment of the present invention may be accumulated and stored and managed in the database management unit 140 , and as the activities of the retail terminal 300 , the purchasing terminal 200 and the wholesale terminal 400 are accumulated It can represent meaningful analysis information.

To this end, the tagging processing unit 160 includes one or more tag information (eg, image source, season, gender, age group, style, TPO, mood, classification, item (large), Item (medium), Item (small), hashtag, country of manufacture, set item, standard color, standard size, material, material (detail), mixing ratio, fit, shape, sleeve, neckline, collar, type of fastening, fastening, sleeve Length, total length, skirt length, pants length, waist, pattern type, pattern, processing, detail) can be assigned to standardized order data, and the assigned tag information is standardized through the database management unit 140 It may be mapped to order data and stored. Here, the above exemplified image source, season, gender, age group, style, TPO, mood, classification, item (large), item (medium), item (small), hashtag, country of manufacture, set item, standard color, standard size , material, material (detail), mixing ratio, fit, shape, sleeve, neckline, collar, type of fastening, fastening, sleeve length, total length, skirt length, pants length, waist, pattern type, pattern, processing, details are tagged It can be called an attribute, and each tag attribute can have any one of several tag attribute values. For example, if the tag attribute is "fit", the corresponding tag attribute (i.e., fit) is any of the tag attribute values such as basic fit, loose fit, boxy fit, baggy fit, boyfriend fit, slim fit, wide fit, and flare fit. One may be optionally mapped.

In addition, the interface processing unit 130 generates a tag interface (eg, tagger view screen) that can receive tag information to be input to the tagging processing unit 160 from the information input terminal 500 to the information input terminal 500 . can be provided as The information input terminal 500 may be a manager terminal capable of receiving order data, inputting tag information corresponding thereto, and transmitting the information to the tagging processing unit 160 .

Here, the tag interface may include an image input interface (eg, a registered image area) for receiving image information in response to the first order data for inputting tag information. The standardized order data may include image information, but order data without image information may also exist. Accordingly, the information input terminal 500 may output an image input interface capable of indexing and inputting product image information corresponding to the standardized order data.

And, when image information is input from the information input terminal 500 , the tagging processing unit 160 may map the input image information to standardized order data and store it in the database management unit 140 . Here, the image information may be an image file or may include web address information to which the image file is linked.

In addition, the tagging processing unit 160 may provide recommended tag information corresponding to the first order data through the tag interface. Here, the recommendation tag information may be obtained from tag history information of similar order data within a certain degree of similarity to the product image mapped to the first order data.

The tagging processing unit 160 may perform an index request and response reception processing to the database management unit 140 for tag history indexing of similar order data. The tagging processing unit 160 may transmit the tag history of the similar order data obtained according to the index of the database management unit 140 to the information input terminal 500 .

Then, the user of the information input terminal 500 selects specific similar order data corresponding to the first order data from among the received histories, so that one or more tag information among the tag history information of specific similar order data is applied to the first order data can be handled as much as possible.

Accordingly, the tagging processing unit 160 may receive the order data input through the tag interface and tag information corresponding thereto, and store and manage the received tag information through the database management unit 140 .

As a result, the tagging processing unit 160 converts the order data for product purchase into the standardized order data structured according to the preset order book conversion rule setting information, and features information (that is, tag information including tag attributes and tag attribute values). It can be seen that mapping can be processed. That is, the tagging processing unit 160 receives a product image of standardized order data to be mapped with characteristic information (tag information) through the interface processing unit 130, and receives any one similar product from among one or more similar product images similar to the product image. As the image is selected, it is determined that the characteristic information donated to the selected similar product image is characteristic information to be necessarily applied to the product image (ie, registered product image), and the determined characteristic information is applied to the product image (ie, registered product image). Received product image) can be mapped to standardized order data. In this case, the analysis unit 170 analyzes the product image of the standardized order data to be mapped, searches for a similar product image similar to the corresponding product image, and provides the searched similar product image to the information input terminal 500 . have. For example, the analysis unit 170 according to a preset reflection ratio of color and shape (eg, color 40% reflection and shape 60% reflection, color 60% reflection, shape 40% reflection, etc.) By analyzing the product image, it is possible to search for similar product images similar to the corresponding product image.

In addition, when there is an additionally selected tag attribute in addition to the determined characteristic information, the tagging processing unit 160 may additionally map the additionally selected tag attribute and the tag attribute value to the standardized order data of the product image.

According to such processing, individual tag information mapping based on order data is possible, and order data to which tag information and product image information are mapped can be used for analysis processing by the analysis unit 170 , and based on the analysis result It can be used for the trend analysis service processing of the trend analysis service unit 182 or the product recommendation service of the product recommendation service unit 183 .

For example, the analysis unit 170 may perform various trend analysis and product recommendation analysis processing based on tag information and image information according to input of analysis setting information set in the information input terminal 500 . Here, the product recommendation analysis process analyzes the color and/or shape of the image of the search product input as the search mode is selected, and based on the tag information for each order data managed by the database management unit 140, the same or It may refer to processing to extract information of similar products.

When the trend analysis is processed by the analysis unit 170 , the trend analysis service of the trend analysis service unit 182 according to the processing result may be provided to the retail terminal 300 , the wholesale terminal 400 , or the purchase terminal 200 . have. This makes it possible to provide a differentiated analysis service in consideration of wholesale information, retail information, and purchase information, unlike the existing product purchaser-based analysis service. For example, the trend analysis service unit 182 is a new analysis element based on order data, such as popular wholesale mall information based on wholesale information, sales trend information on a specific floor of a popular wholesale building, and a shopping mall trend where a lot of specific items are wholesale/retail traded. The analysis interface to which they are applied may be provided to the retail terminal 300 , the wholesale terminal 400 , or the purchase terminal 200 .

In addition, when the product recommendation analysis is processed by the analysis unit 170 , the product recommendation service of the product recommendation service unit 183 according to the processing result is sent to the retail terminal 300 , the wholesale terminal 400 , or the purchase terminal 200 . can be provided.

4 is a block diagram showing the information input terminal 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

The information input terminal 500 may include an input unit 5001 , a receiving unit 5002 , a display unit 5003 , and a control unit 5004 .

The input unit 5001 may input tag information and related additional information corresponding to the order data standardized in the service providing apparatus 100 .

Also, the input unit 5001 may input trend analysis setting information to the service providing apparatus 100 .

Also, the input unit 5001 may input a similar product recommendation command according to an image search to the service providing apparatus 100 , and may input a specific product purchase command according to a trend analysis result or a popular product extraction result.

The receiving unit 5002 may receive standardized order data processed by the service providing apparatus 100, and mapping data processed by the service providing apparatus 100 (ie, image information and features for each standardized order data) data in which the indicated tag information is mapped to each other) may be received, and a trend analysis result and similar product recommendation result processed by the service providing apparatus 100 may be received.

The display unit 5003 displays the mapping data received by the receiving unit 500 (that is, data in which image information for each standardized order data and tag information indicating characteristics are mapped to each other), trend analysis results, and similar product recommendation results. screen can be displayed.

The control unit 5004 may control the overall operation of the corresponding information input terminal 500 , but may control information exchange between the input unit 5001 , the receiver 5002 , and the display unit 5003 smoothly.

5 to 7 are sequence diagrams for explaining an operating method of an apparatus supporting tagging of characteristic information corresponding to standardized order data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 8 to 16 are an embodiment of the present invention This is an example of a screen employed to describe an operation method of a device supporting tagging of characteristic information corresponding to standardized order data.

Since the operation of the apparatus supporting the feature information tagging corresponding to the standardized order data according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly performed between the service providing apparatus 100 and the information input terminal 500, hereinafter, various information exchange between them is performed. It is explained by the operation through .

As described above, the information input terminal 500 is a tagger (eg, a fashion designer or MD (Merchandiser)) or an inspector (for example, a fashion designer or MD (Merchandiser)) or an inspector ( Since it is a terminal used by the administrator), the user of the information input terminal 500 first inquires the tagging list distributed to him/her.

That is, the user of the information input terminal 500 requests a tagging list inquiry to tag the standardized order data with feature information (S10).

Accordingly, a tagging list inquiry request signal corresponding thereto is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100, and the service providing apparatus 100 displays a predetermined tagging list inquiry screen (refer to FIG. 8) in response thereto to the corresponding information input terminal ( 500) to (S12). In FIG. 8 , order information to be tagged by the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 is listed in numerical order. For example, when the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the order information area 10 located under each order number in FIG. 8 , as shown in FIG. 9 , order information for the corresponding order number can be confirmed. .

And, when a number to be tagged is selected in the information input terminal 500 (S14), for example, if the order number 5 is clicked in FIG. 8, the information input terminal 500 provides the corresponding number selection information to the service providing device ( 100) to (S16).

Next, the service providing apparatus 100 transmits the image input screen as shown in FIG. 10 to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S18). If you click "View Order Information" on the upper right corner of the image input screen of FIG. 10, the order information illustrated in FIG. company name, etc.).

The user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 confirming the order information registers a product image corresponding to the order information (ie, standardized order data) (S20). For example, the user of the information input terminal 500 may find and register a product image linked to the corresponding order information from information pre-stored in the database management unit 140 of the web or service providing apparatus 100 . If an image is included in the retailer's order information, the image can be registered immediately. have. In this case, the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 may not only register the product image but also input information such as a photo source and reference URL of the registered image. The reason for registering a product image corresponding to the retailer's order information or registering an image for each product uploaded by a wholesaler is the pre-stored product image (more specifically, the corresponding product) when tagging later. This is because it has the advantage that faster tagging is possible because the tag information can be directly imported and used as tag information.

When the registration of the product image is completed in this way (ie, when the confirmation button 12 is clicked in FIG. 10 ), the registered image is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 ( S22 ).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 includes a registration image area 14 , a tag attribute list area 16 , a tag attribute value input area 18 , and a similar product image list area 20 as shown in FIG. 11 . A tagger view screen (ie, tag interface) is generated and transmitted to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S24, S26). Here, the product image registered by the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 is displayed in the registered image area 14 , and various tag attributes that can be assigned to the registered product image (eg, in the tag attribute list area 16 ) . , similar product images in the similar product image list area 20 are displayed similar to the product image in the registered image area 14 in color and shape. In this case, the similar product image in the similar product image list area 20 may be disposed at a higher level as the degree of similarity increases. That is, the service providing apparatus 100 is similar according to a preset color and shape reflection ratio (eg, color 40% reflection and shape 60% reflection, color 60% reflection, shape 40% reflection, etc.) You can search for product images. The similar product image list area 20 includes an area 21 for displaying the image similarity percentage, an area 22 for displaying a similar product image, an area 23 for displaying set information of the corresponding similar product, and an attribute of currently being tagged. It may include an area 24 for displaying similar product tag attribute value information, and an area 25 for displaying basic product and tagging information for a corresponding similar product image. For example, if the area 23 is selected (clicked), the corresponding set properties are applied collectively, and if the area 24 is selected (clicked), the tag attribute value displayed in the area 24 is the value of the tag property currently being tagged. It can be added to the attribute value.

Thereafter, when the user of the information input terminal 500 selects any one similar product image in the similar product image list area 20 of the tagger view screen (refer to FIG. 11 ), the corresponding similar product image selection information is provided to the service providing device ( 100) to (S28, S30).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 extracts the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the registered image (that is, the image on the registered image area 14) and transmits it to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S32, S34). Here, the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied are the tag attribute and the tag attribute value donated to the selected similar product image. Since the tag attribute and the tag attribute value donated to the similar product image are already stored and registered in the database management unit 140 , the service providing apparatus 100 provides the tag attribute and tag attribute value that must be necessarily applied to the registered image. can be easily extracted.

As a result, the information input terminal 500 displays the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the registered image in a pop-up type as shown in FIG. 12 . Here, the mandatory applied tag information displayed in a pop-up type in FIG. 12 may be referred to as tag information (ie, tag attribute and tag attribute value) donated to the corresponding similar product image.

If the user of the information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button 12 in FIG. 12 (“Yes” in S36), the information input terminal 500 provides the corresponding confirmation selection information to the service providing device 100 to (S38).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 determines the tag attribute and the tag attribute value displayed in FIG. 12 as the tag attribute and the tag attribute value to be necessarily applied to the image registered in the registered image area 14 .

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 inputs the determined tag attribute and tag attribute value to the tag attribute list area 16 (S40), and displays a screen (see FIG. 13) in which the required applied tag information is inputted to the corresponding information input terminal ( 500) to (S42).

If there is no tag attribute to be added other than the required applied tag information of FIG. 13 , the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button (“Yes” in S44). Accordingly, the corresponding confirmation selection information is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S46).

Next, the service providing device 100 converts the input essential information tag information (ie, information input to the tag attribute list area 16 of FIG. 13 ) to the corresponding order information (ie, the image registered in the registration image area 14 ). Order information corresponding to ) is mapped (applied) to the batch (S48).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 stores the mapping information in the database management unit 140 (S50).

Conversely, if there is a tag attribute to be added other than the mandatory applied tag information of FIG. 13 , the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 selects the tag attribute to be added from the tag attribute list area 16 ( S52 ). For example, assume that the user has selected "Kara".

Accordingly, an additional selection signal corresponding thereto is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S54), and the service providing apparatus 100 enters the tag attribute value input area for the additionally selected tag attribute. (18) is activated (S56).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 transmits the screen (see FIG. 14 ) including the activated tag attribute value input area 18 to the corresponding information input terminal 500 ( S58 ).

The user of the information input terminal 500 may additionally input any one of various tag attribute values presented in the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 . In this case, the user of the information input terminal 500 may place a cursor on the tag attribute value to be checked in order to confirm what each tag attribute value is. In this way, a tagging reference screen (not shown) corresponding thereto is additionally displayed at the lower end of the corresponding tag attribute value of the tag attribute value input area 18 . For example, when it is desired to check what type of "shirt collar" in the tag attribute value input area 18 is, an example screen (ie, a tagging reference screen) showing the shape of the shirt collar may be additionally displayed. It should be understood that such a tagging reference screen is generated by the service providing apparatus 100 and transmitted to the information input terminal 500 . Meanwhile, since the service providing apparatus 100 manages the restrictions between tag attributes, it is assumed that the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 exposes only inputtable tag attribute values for the selected additional tag attribute. The reason for managing the constraints between tag attributes in this way is to reduce tag candidates during tagging, and the constraints can be managed in consideration of the correlation between tag attributes. For example, if "blouse" is selected as the "item (medium)" input value as shown in FIG. 15, "A-line", "H-line", ... Only "Empire Line" can be exposed.

If the user of the information input terminal 500 selects any one tag attribute value (eg, "Chinkara") in the tag attribute value input area 18 of FIG. 14 , the information input terminal 500 displays the corresponding tag The attribute value additional input information is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S60, S62).

Accordingly, the service providing apparatus 100 inputs the added tag information (that is, the added tag attribute (eg, collar) and the corresponding tag attribute value (eg, chinkara)) into the tag attribute list area 16, The screen (refer to FIG. 16) on which the added tag information is input is transmitted to the corresponding information input terminal 500 (S64, S66).

Then, the user of the corresponding information input terminal 500 clicks the confirmation button (“Yes” in S68). Accordingly, the corresponding confirmation selection information is transmitted to the service providing apparatus 100 (S70).

Next, the service providing apparatus 100 maps the input essential information tag information and the added tag information to the corresponding order information (ie, order information corresponding to the image registered in the registered image area 14) (S72).

Then, the service providing apparatus 100 stores the mapping information in the database manager 140 (S74).

In the above description, it is assumed that the user manually registers the product image corresponding to the order information to be tagged. However, if necessary, the service providing apparatus 100 may automatically search for and register the product image.

17 is a block diagram illustrating the analysis unit 170 in more detail according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the content of the present invention is not limited to the subject of the terminal.

Meanwhile, setting information for trend analysis may be set based on item information of standardized order data. By inputting setting information for items of standardized order data to which tag information is allocated, it is possible to analyze a wholesale and retail trend in a different form than before.

Here, the analysis setting information may include tag information obtainable from standardized order data, for example, the setting information may include wholesale information, wholesale store information, wholesale building information, and floor information for each wholesale building, and the analysis target In response, the information may include order quantity information for each category ordered by the retailers, and the like. In this case, it is possible to analyze a wholesale market trend with a high order quantity of a specific item, and as such, a wholesale and retail trend analysis of a different aspect from the final consumer's purchase can be processed.

Furthermore, the analysis setting information may be various tag information that can be assigned to standardized order data, and complex analysis is also possible according to the setting. And since it can be analyzed based on standardized data from a retail point of view, it becomes possible to analyze trends on bulk orders from wholesalers and retailers, which are difficult to judge by simple consumer evaluation.

18 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an analysis unit performing trend analysis according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is an exemplary diagram of analysis setting information.

Referring to FIG. 18 , the trend analysis service unit 183 according to the first embodiment of the present invention transmits popular product list information by order trend analysis based on tag information at the request of the retail terminal 300 to the retail terminal 300 . ) can be provided.

To this end, the analysis unit 170 first extracts product information for each tag-based classification of the order data mapped with the tag information database 143 extracted according to the setting information among the order data obtained from the order information database 142 ( S101). Here, the classification may refer to the classification of goods according to the system of large classification, medium classification, and small classification.

Then, the analysis unit 170 performs a leveling process for each ranking section according to the sales volume information of the order data accumulated for a set period in response to the product information for each tag-based classification (S103).

Thereafter, the analysis unit 170 determines the popularity of each item according to the ranking level (S105).

Accordingly, the trend analysis service unit 183 generates a list of popular products according to the determined popularity of each item, and provides the generated list to the service subscriber terminal (S107).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 19(A) , the analysis setting information may include item classification information, and in general, it may be preferable to classify clothing and the like by a large classification and a medium classification. .

And, according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 19(B) , the analysis setting information includes period classification information, release date information, sales period information, ranking reference information, type information, and middle classification obtainable based on order data. It may include information on the minimum sales amount per star. The period classification information may be easy to distinguish whether it is a new product, a recently popular product, or a bestseller product, and the ranking criteria for each type may be determined differently. In addition, by setting the minimum sales volume information, only meaningful sales volume information may be set to be used for trend analysis.

According to this processing, the analysis unit 170 may determine the level for each popular ranking section according to the sales volume information and the extraction criteria for each type in the wholesale and retail popular product analysis. In addition, since sales volume information within the determined popular ranking section can be used for trend analysis, more accurate popular product trend analysis may be possible.

20 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an analysis unit performing trend analysis according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 20 , the analysis unit 170 for trend analysis according to the second embodiment of the present invention acquires tag setting information for trend analysis ( S201 ).

Then, the analysis unit 170 performs statistical analysis based on the tag setting information corresponding to the standardized order data (S203).

Then, the analysis unit 170 generates an analysis interface by processing the statistical analysis result information (S205).

Then, the analysis unit 170 provides the generated analysis interface to the service subscriber terminal (S207).

21 to 25 are diagrams for explaining a trend analysis result interface of order data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the analysis unit 170 may process the wholesale/retail trend analysis result information according to the request of the retail terminal 300 and provide it to the retail terminal 300 , and the interface processing unit 130 processes the information. The analyzed result information can be provided through the analysis interface.

Referring to FIGS. 21 to 22 , the analysis interface may include sales trend information and weight information by middle category of a specific wholesale or retail item based on order data to which tag information is mapped.

For this data analysis, the analysis unit 170 may perform pie chart analysis, for this purpose, tag information may be set as item information by middle category, and order data to be analyzed may be set as accumulated sales volume information for a specific period. . Here, the middle classification system is as exemplified in FIG. 19(A) described above.

Accordingly, referring to FIGS. 21 to 22, for the outer, which is a large category, padding (10.11%), a coat (10.47%), a jumper (11.59%), a jacket (26.64%), a cardigan ( 41.19%) each sales proportion graph may be calculated, and sales trend information for each quarter may be calculated as a graph as shown in FIG. 22 .

Here, the inflection point of the sales trend graph may indicate a sharp increase or decrease in sales volume. The analysis unit 170 may provide the calculated graph to the retail terminal 300 or the like through the analysis interface.

The graph on the analysis interface analyzes the order data mapped using the tag information collected in advance. Appropriate trend forecasting becomes possible.

23 to 26 show the sales volume heat map analysis interface for each building floor and classification provided through the analysis interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 23 , the analysis interface according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes the wholesale building and item sales volume heat map by floor using standardized order data to which tag information managed between wholesale, retail, and purchase is mapped. information can be provided.

For example, in order to process as shown in FIG. 23 , the analysis unit 170 sets the tag information to be filtered as building A, the X axis is set as the floor level of the building, and the Y axis is set as a large category item, It is possible to set the color density of the bucket area formed by the division of each X-axis and Y-axis to vary according to the sales volume. A sales volume heat map may be formed according to the variation of the color or color intensity, and a relatively dark or light color may indicate more sales volume.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 23, in the wholesaler A building, the clothing TOP item product group is sold the most on the first floor and is mainly sold on the second floor, and the BOTTOM product group is generally sold over the first, second, and third floors. It can be seen that the DRESS product group is mainly sold only on the first floor.

Similarly, referring to FIG. 24 , the heat map analysis results for each floor and middle category of building A are shown, and among the major category TOP, the sales volume is high from the left of the X axis by product groups such as blouse, shirt, best, top and bottom set, and jumper. It can be analyzed and processed so that it is listed from layer to layer. For example, in the case of blouses, the second floor has the highest sales, and in the case of coats, it can be predicted from the color density that the wholesale market on the 4th floor leads the trend.

25 and 26 show the sales volume heat map analysis interface for each floor and major category of the building B, which is another building, and the sales volume heat map analysis interface for each floor and middle category, and the generation method and analysis method are shown in FIGS. It can be treated in the same way as the case.

Such trend analysis information enables analysis of the wholesale market leading the trend and the main items on each floor. have.

Furthermore, this trend analysis information allows comparing not only wholesale information, but also the quantity of orders under various conditions such as season, period, historical event, and situational condition according to tag analysis, so as time passes and data accumulates, more and more diverse trend analysis services are provided. be able to do

27 is a block diagram illustrating in more detail a retail terminal that is an example of a service subscription terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The retail terminal 300 and the service providing apparatus 100 may provide a tag-based trend analysis service of order data while communicating with each other.

To this end, the retail terminal 300 may include an input unit 301 , a receiving unit 302 , a display unit 303 , and a control unit 304 .

The input unit 301 receives a search mode and a desired search condition.

That is, the user (retailer) of the retail terminal 300 determines which commodity item is the most popular (ie, best-selling) in a specific region, and who has traded the most (ie, sold) the commodity item in the specific region. ) What is a wholesale market, and there is a desire to see what the wholesale trends are in the wholesaler that sells the most popular items in a particular region.

Alternatively, a user (retailer) of the retail terminal 300 can determine where a particular commodity item is best sold, which wholesaler in that region sells the particular commodity item the most, and where the particular commodity item is best sold. There is a desire to check the wholesale trend of the wholesalers that traded the most specific product items in the region where they are sold.

In order to satisfy the needs of the user (retailer) of the retail terminal 300 , the input unit 301 may preferentially receive a region name or a product item as a search condition.

And, receiving the above-described search mode means that the search mode is selected.

Also, the input unit 301 may transmit the received search mode and search condition to the service providing apparatus 100 .

In other words, the input unit 301 receives a predetermined search request from the user (retailer) of the retail terminal 300, and provides the contents of the received search request (eg, including a region or product item as a search condition) as a service. may be sent to the device 100 .

The receiving unit 302 may receive, from the service providing apparatus 100 , wholesale trend analysis information on popular product items in a specific region based on the search condition. Of course, the receiving unit 302 may also receive predetermined search result information from the service providing apparatus 100 .

Here, the wholesale trend analysis information can be said to be information generated based on a search condition.

For example, when the search condition input from the input unit 301 is a specific region, the search result information received by the receiving unit 302 may select the most popular product item and the most popular product item in the specific region.
