<Short-distance pick-up>

First, clustering for short-distance convergence will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5B.

5A, in one embodiment of the present invention, based on the location information and volume information of the product to be shipped corresponding to the location of the purchaser, the primary delivery center (C) and the primary delivery unit (U) are set, , a diagram exemplarily showing clustering for sequentially setting a secondary aggregation center (C) and a secondary aggregation unit (U) is shown.

In FIG. 5B, as shown in FIG. 5A, in clustering in which a collection center (C) and a collection unit (U) are sequentially set, lightweight products sequentially distributed over a wide area in subordinate clustering are one collection unit (U). ) A diagram for explaining the reclassification of the collection unit (U) to prevent being set is shown.

1 and 2, clustering for short-distance collection according to an embodiment of the present invention may be performed by a server that provides a commercial brokerage service between a buyer and a purchaser, and the server provides a plurality of purchasers. Short-distance pick-up that can be clustered into a collection unit (U) with a cumulative volume suitable for one-time pick-up on a short-distance basis by collecting location information on the location and volume information of items to be shipped from multiple purchasers. Clustering for can be provided.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the collection unit (U) may mean a group of a group of goods to be shipped, located in a short distance with respect to the collection center (C), and a group of items classified as these collection units (U). A product to be shipped may have a cumulative volume suitable for one delivery. Here, the cumulative volume may mean the total volume of a group of goods to be shipped classified as a delivery unit (U).

In one embodiment of the present invention, the transport unit (U) may include a group of transport target products arranged in a short distance based on the distance from the transport center (C), for example, the transport center (C) The term may refer to a product having a relatively large volume among a plurality of products to be shipped, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the collection unit (U) is set to the center of delivery (C), that is, a product with a relatively large volume. Separating the consignment unit (U) by the center divides the consignment unit (U) around the relatively bulky product, and bundles the bulky product and the small volume product together into the consignment unit (U) once. It is a configuration to increase the efficiency of collection. For example, one embodiment of the present invention relates to a short-distance delivery system in which a plurality of purchasers each providing different products to be shipped are intensively located in one commercial area, recognized as one commercial area such as Namdaemun Market Based on possible areas, different products to be shipped from multiple buyers scattered in Namdaemun Market are collected and gathered into one destination, and then the products are delivered to a number of buyers who are scattered far from the destination. In this sense, in one embodiment of the present invention, short-distance collection may correspond to the previous stage of long-distance delivery, and after aggregating different items to be shipped from different purchasers to one collection point, It is possible to increase the efficiency of delivery by initiating delivery to buyers in a long distance from Since delivery of products can be initiated, delivery costs can be reduced, and as a result, purchasing costs can be reduced.

As such, one embodiment of the present invention provides clustering for short-distance pickup as a step prior to long-distance delivery, so that a single pickup unit (U) is not relatively large, and, for example, a small vehicle such as a bike Using , a single collection unit (U) may be limited, and since a separate small transportation means is used, a limitation according to volume rather than limitation according to weight may be accompanied. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, when using a small vehicle such as a bike, the total amount of volume that can be bundled into one collection unit (U) may be set to approximately 60L, and may be set to a maximum of 90L. can The drawings accompanying this specification show exemplary clustering of the collection unit (U) when the total amount of volume that can be bundled in one collection unit (U) is set to 60L.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a relatively bulky product is classified by classifying a bulky product as a transport center (C) and a transport target product located in a short distance from the transport center (C) as one transport unit (U) It is possible to effectively utilize the total amount of volume (60L) limited to one collection unit (U) by mixing products with small volumes and grouping them into one collection unit (U). For example, in a manner in which a product of a small volume is sandwiched and filled between products of a relatively large volume, the volume that can be transported in one shipment unit (U) can be efficiently utilized, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the relatively As a result, it is possible to increase the efficiency of collection or transportation by bundling a relatively small volume of goods to be shipped together, located in a short distance from the collection center (C) with a large volume of collection center (C).

In one embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the location information of the purchaser and the volume information of the product to be shipped, the collection unit (U) can be classified, for example, through a server that relays commercial transactions between the purchaser and the buyer. Clustering to classify the aggregation unit (U) may be performed. Here, the location information of the purchaser may correspond to the location information of the product to be shipped, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the location information of the purchaser or the location information of the product to be shipped may include GPS coordinate information of the purchaser, , 2D GPS coordinate information may be included.

Referring to FIGS. 3A to 5B , in the drawings accompanying this specification, the volume of a product to be shipped is displayed on a mesh at regular intervals displaying two-dimensional coordinates. In one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to acquire the location information of the product to be shipped expressed in two-dimensional coordinates. Here, the two-dimensional coordinates may mean the location of each building where a plurality of purchasers are collectively located. For example, location information displayed on one GPS coordinate may mean the location of a building where a plurality of purchasers are co-located rather than location information of each purchaser. Therefore, in the present invention, the location information of the product to be shipped may mean the location information of the purchaser having registered the corresponding product to be shipped or the location of the building where the corresponding purchaser is located. In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may store the location of a building where the purchaser is located as location information of a purchaser registered for each product to be shipped, and accordingly, a plurality of products to be shipped are stored in one location, That is, it can be matched on GPS coordinates representing one building location or one building location. At this time, the server adds up the total volume of a plurality of products to be shipped matched on the same location (building location), It is treated as a single item to be shipped, and clustering (two-dimensional clustering) of the shipping unit (U) described later can be performed. However, in various embodiments of the present invention, the server treats a plurality of items to be shipped that are matched on the same location (location of a building) as a single product to be shipped by volume summed up, and the volume of the single product to be shipped by summing up the volume Under the premise that does not exceed the total volume (e.g., 60L) limited to one shipping unit (U), it can be treated as a single item to be shipped by summing up the volume. If it exceeds the total volume (60L) limited to one transportation unit (U), since a single transportation target product can form at least two transportation units (U), the total volume limited to one transportation unit (U) ( 60L) is grouped into one collection unit (U) or two or more collection units (U) (one-dimensional clustering based on level coordinates described later), and a number of items to be shipped that do not exceed the total volume of the remaining items are classified as a single item to be shipped After processing, clustering (two-dimensional clustering) of the aggregation unit (U) described later can be performed.

In various embodiments of the present invention, together with clustering (2-dimensional clustering) of collection units (U) based on 2-dimensional GPS coordinates as described later, exceeding the limited volume (60L) matched to one location (building location) For a number of items to be shipped, level coordinates are introduced, and products to be shipped that are located in a short distance according to the one-dimensional level coordinates are bundled into one shipment unit (U) up to the limited volume (60L) (one-dimensional clustering), 2D clustering described later can be performed by treating the remaining items to be shipped except for the unit (U) as a single item to be shipped located at the corresponding 2D coordinates.

In one embodiment of the present invention, location information of a plurality of purchasers belonging to one commercial area may be stored in a server, purchase information is obtained from a buyer, and the purchase information recorded in the purchase information is obtained along with the location information of the purchaser. Products, that is, information on items to be dispatched can be matched with each other. For example, the server can grasp the location information (location information of the purchaser) and volume information of the product to be shipped from each purchase information, and for example, a method of multiplying the quantity information together with the individual volume of the product to be purchased. As a result, it is possible to calculate the volume of the product to be shipped from each purchaser.

The server sets the center of delivery (C) by using the location information and volume information of the product to be shipped, at the request of the user or before a pre-designated time when the delivery is initiated, and the set delivery center (C) The collection unit (U) can be classified based on the short distance from , and the distance ( Clustering may be performed to classify adjacent products to be shipped as one same collection unit (U) while increasing L).

The server may set a delivery center (C) by using location information and volume information of a plurality of goods to be delivered, targeting one commerce area in which short-distance delivery takes place. In one embodiment of the present invention, a number of Depending on the relationship between volume and size of the product to be shipped, it is possible to sequentially set a delivery unit (U) having a delivery center (C) and each delivery center (C).

Referring to FIG. 3A , in clustering for short-distance pickup according to an embodiment of the present invention, a process in which each collection center (C) and a collection unit (U) having each collection center (C) as a center are sequentially set. Through, each collection center (C) and each collection unit (U) having each collection center (C) as a center can be set sequentially, for example, the first collection center (C1) and the first collection center (C1) The primary collection unit (U1) with the center (C1) as the center is set with priority, and the secondary collection center (C2) and the secondary collection center (C2) among other items to be shipped except for the primary collection unit (U1) ) is set as the center, and after that, the 3rd collection center (C, Undo) is set among other items to be shipped except for the first collection unit (U1) and the second collection unit (U2). City) and the tertiary collection center (C, not shown) as centers may be set. As such, in one embodiment of the present invention, after setting a plurality of collection centers C at once for one commercial transaction area, setting a collection unit U having each collection center C as a center Rather, sequentially, in a manner of setting the delivery center (C) and the delivery unit (U) with the corresponding delivery center (C) as the center for the remaining goods to be delivered except for the delivery unit (U) set in the previous step. By setting the convergence center (C) and the convergence unit (U), the computation burden and computation time required for clustering can be reduced. Referring to FIG. 3B, in a comparative example contrasted with the present invention, a plurality of collection centers (C) are set at once for one commercial transaction area in which short-distance pickup is performed, and each collection center (C) is used as a center. Units (U) can be classified, but since the locations of a number of items to be shipped based on purchase information up to each collection start time can be arbitrarily distributed, Using the two-dimensional gradient (eg, the derivative of the two-dimensional gradient) formed by the change in volume, the local maximum formed by the volume of a number of products to be shipped is calculated and each local maximum is transported. In the case of using the method of calculating the center (C), while each collection center (C) is set adjacent to each other, excessive or insufficient volume is often bundled into a collection unit (U) with each collection center (C) as the center Conversely, when each collection center (C) is set too far away, when grouping each collection unit (U) with each collection center (C) as the center, between neighboring collection units (U) There may be a high probability that inefficient clustering will be performed, such that there may be a large number of items to be collected that do not belong to any collection unit (U).

As shown in FIG. 3A, in one embodiment of the present invention, for a plurality of items to be shipped, the item to be shipped with the largest volume is set as the primary shipment center (C1) according to the size relationship of the volumes, and the first After setting the primary transport unit (U1) with the center of transport (C1) as the center, set the bulky transport target product as the secondary transport target, and set the secondary transport unit (C2) as the center. As a method of setting the primary collection unit U2, clustering may be performed in a manner of sequentially setting the collection center C and the collection unit U according to the size relationship of volumes.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in one embodiment of the present invention, each collection center (C) targets the remaining items to be shipped except for the collection unit (U) set in the previous step, and the largest product is placed in the collection center (C ), and with each collection center (C) as the center, based on the distance (L) from each collection center (C), the limit of the collection unit (U) set in advance while going from the short distance to the long distance Until the volume (60L) is filled, one collection unit (U) may be set while repeating clustering in which adjacent items to be shipped are grouped into the same collection unit (U).

Referring to FIG. 5A, in one embodiment of the present invention, clustering is performed while setting the product with the largest volume among other products other than the collection unit (U) set in the previous step as the delivery center (C) according to the size relationship of the volume. Because of this, in the latter half of the clustering, products with relatively small volumes gradually distributed over a wide area are grouped into one collection unit (U), and as a result, until all parcel delivery products are classified into each collection unit (U). Clustering may be performed. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the priority delivery unit (U) set in the first half of the clustering may consider transporting products arranged in a short distance centering on relatively bulky products, and such a priority delivery unit For (U), the server may request the operator of the server to allocate transport resources suitable for short-distance transport of bulky and heavy products. On the other hand, in the lower priority delivery unit (U) set in the second half of the clustering, it is possible to consider transportation of products disposed at a distance centering on lightweight goods having a relatively small volume. For such a subordinate delivery unit (U), the server The operator of the server may be requested to allocate transport resources suitable for long-distance transport of lightweight products having a small volume.

Referring to FIG. 5A, in one embodiment of the present invention, clustering of goods to be dispatched is performed for one commercial area including a plurality of purchasers intensively arranged in a short distance, and one embodiment of the present invention As in the shape, even if lightweight products with small volumes scattered over a relatively wide area in the latter half of clustering are grouped into one conveying unit (U), the efficiency of conveying may not be greatly affected. For example, for the lower priority collection unit (U) set in the second half of the clustering, the server may request the operator of the server to allocate transport resources capable of quickly transporting lightweight products to the collection point.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the delivery center (C) is set in consideration of the size relationship of the volume of the delivery target product, and clustering based on a short distance from the delivery center (C) can be performed, as shown in FIG. , In various embodiments of the present invention, in order to prevent the collection unit (U) of the product to be shipped from gradually expanding to a wide area as clustering progresses, the center of delivery (C) is set based on the volume of the product to be shipped , When the collection unit (U) exceeds the preset limit distance (Lmax), the limit distance is set in such a way as to set the collection unit (U), excluding products that exceed the limit distance (Lmax) from the collection center (C) It is possible to avoid bundling products exceeding 0 with the same consignment unit (U). For example, in the second half of clustering, among the products to be shipped excluding the collection unit (U) set in the previous step, the largest product is set as the delivery center (C), and it moves forward from the set delivery center (C) along the long-distance direction. While grouping adjacent products to be transported into one transport unit (U), while proceeding with this clustering up to the limit volume (60L) of the preset transport unit (U), products that are gradually placed far from the transport center (C) are grouped together. It can be grouped into one collection unit (U). At this time, the server can check the volume information and location information of each product while bundling each product into one collection unit (U) according to the distance (L) from the collection center (C), and each product It is determined whether the volume information and location information of the unit meet the conditions of the unit (U), and according to the result of the determination, each product may be grouped into a unit (U), and the unit (U) may be expanded. may be stopped, clustering to the corresponding aggregation unit (U) may be stopped, and the corresponding aggregation unit (U) may be determined. For example, in various embodiments of the present invention, a product (specific product) exceeding the distance limit Lmax from the collection center C may be set as a corresponding collection unit U2 (see FIG. 5A), Alternatively, products exceeding the distance limit (Lmax) may be excluded from the corresponding collection unit (U) (see FIG. 4). In this case, products exceeding the distance limit (Lmax) exceed the distance limit (Lmax). It can be classified into another collection unit (U1) to which the product and the other nearest neighboring product belong (see FIG. 5a), and the product exceeding the distance limit (Lmax) and the other nearest neighboring product belong to another collection unit ( U1) may exceed the limited volume (60L) while additionally including products exceeding the distance limit (Lmax).

In addition, for the delivery unit (U) in which the product (specific product) exceeding the distance limit is captured, for example, each product is transported until the limit volume is filled while advancing in the long-distance direction from the delivery center (C). While performing clustering by grouping (U), for a delivery unit (U) in which a product whose distance from the delivery center (C) exceeds the distance limit (Lmax) is captured, the corresponding product is classified as a corresponding delivery unit (U). Apart from the determination of whether to classify into a collection unit (U), depending on the difference between the volume bound by the collection unit (U) and the limit volume (60L), it is limited to the extent that it is judged to be inefficient to bundle it into one collection unit (U) For the collection unit (U), which has a relatively small volume compared to the volume (60L), the collection unit (U) is released, and each product classified in the corresponding collection unit (U) and the other products that are closest to it belong to the collection unit. It can be classified as a unit (U).

In one embodiment of the present invention, for a delivery unit (U) in which a product exceeding the distance limit (Lmax) from the delivery center (C) has been captured, the volume bound by the delivery unit (U) to date is the limit volume (60L). ), if it corresponds to less than half (1/2) of the collection unit (U), it is determined that it is inefficient to bundle into one collection unit (U), the collection unit (U) is released, and each product classified as the corresponding collection unit (U) It can be classified as a collection unit (U) to which other neighboring products that are closest to each other belong.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the following conditions can be set in advance as conditions for the aggregation unit (U), and as a server that performs clustering of the aggregation unit (U), clustering for each aggregation unit (U) As a basis for determining whether to group each product into a corresponding grouping unit (U), conditions of a grouping unit (U) set in advance can be inquired.

1) Volume condition (60L):

It is the limit volume (60L) of one collection unit (U) set by the user before clustering, and the product corresponds to the remote direction from the collection center (C) to fill each collection unit (U) up to the limit volume (60L). can be grouped into the same collection unit (U).

2) Distance condition (Lmax):

It is the limit distance (Lmax) from the collection center (C) set by the user before clustering, and in particular, the distance between products classified as one collection unit (U) in the subordinate collection unit (U) set in the second half of clustering, More specifically, when the distance from the transport center (C) exceeds the preset limit distance (Lmax), 1) even if the volume condition (60L) is satisfied, the limit distance from the transport center (C) independently of the volume condition ( Products exceeding Lmax) may not be bundled into one consignment unit (U). Throughout this specification, the distance from the distribution center C to each product or the distance between neighboring products means the shortest distance and may correspond to the Euclidean distance.

For reference, in clustering according to an embodiment of the present invention, for 1) the volume condition (60L) and 2) the distance condition (Lmax), both 1) the volume condition (60L) and 2) the distance condition (Lmax) are satisfied. For example, in various embodiments of the present invention, in the finally classified packing unit (U), each packing unit (U) is 1) volume condition (60L) may be satisfied and 2) the distance condition (Lmax) may not be satisfied, alternatively, 2) only the distance condition (Lmax) may be satisfied and 1) the volume condition (60L) may not be satisfied, or otherwise , 1) the volume condition (60L) and 2) the distance condition (Lmax) may not all be satisfied.

As a case where products that 1) satisfy only the volume condition (60L) and 2) do not satisfy the distance condition (Lmax) are classified into the same dispatching unit (U), for example, a subordinated dispatching unit (U) set in the second half of clustering Products that exceed the limit distance (Lmax) from the collection center (C) can also be classified into the same delivery unit (U). In this case, the server may request the operator of the server to distribute transport resources suitable for long-distance delivery of relatively lightweight products.

2) When only the distance condition (Lmax) is satisfied and products that do not satisfy the 1) volume condition (60L) are classified into the same transportation unit (U), the difference between the volume of the subordinated transportation unit (U) and the limit volume (60L) For a collection unit (U) with a relatively small volume to the extent that it is judged to be inefficient to classify into one collection unit (U) according to comparison, the collection unit (U) is released, and the product of the released collection unit (U) By sorting them into other nearest neighboring packing units (U), the volume of the packing unit (U) in question may exceed the limit volume (60L) (e.g., packing unit U1 in FIG. 5A), in which case, 2) The distance condition (Lmax) is satisfied, but 1) the volume condition (60L) may not be satisfied, and both the 1) volume condition (60L) and the 2) distance condition (Lmax) may not be satisfied.

As such, in clustering according to an embodiment of the present invention, corresponding products can be classified into the same delivery unit (U) according to whether 1) the volume condition 60L is satisfied and 2) the distance condition Lmax is satisfied. For example, a product that satisfies both 1) volume condition (60L) and 2) distance condition (Lmax) may be classified as the same consignment unit (U), but 1) volume condition ( 60L) or 2) products that do not satisfy the distance condition (Lmax), the same transport unit as a result of different distribution of transportation resources or clustering in other neighboring transport units (U) (U).

In one embodiment of the present invention, 1) even if the volume condition 60L is satisfied 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied or 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied 2) the distance condition Lmax When the collection unit (U) is determined according to, in particular, for the lower priority collection unit (U) set in the latter half of the clustering, each collection unit (U) through a separate calculation is 1) with the limit volume (60L) set in the volume condition. Depending on the difference, for example, if the volume of the subordinated collection unit (U) is relatively small enough to be judged to be inefficient to bundle into one collection unit (U) and the difference with the limit volume (60L) is large, the subordinated collection unit ( Rather than maintaining U), the setting of the subordinated collection unit (U) may be canceled, and instead, each product may be distributed to the collection unit (U) to which the other nearest neighboring product belongs (see the arrow in FIG. 5A), and this In this case, despite exceeding the limit volume (60L) set as the collection unit (U), the excess volume exceeding the limit volume (60L) may be accommodated through the distribution of transport resources (refer to the collection unit U1 in FIG. 5a) .

In various embodiments of the present invention, 1) the volume condition 60L is satisfied, but 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied or 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied 2) the distance condition Lmax When the aggregation unit (U) is determined according to, in particular, for the subordinated aggregation unit (U) set in the latter half of the clustering, the subordinated aggregation unit (U) itself is maintained, but forms the center of the corresponding subordinated aggregation unit (U) Only goods to be dispatched (specific goods) that exceed the limit distance from the transportation center (C) are excluded from the lower priority transportation unit (U), and transferred to the transportation unit (U) to which the specific goods and other products closest to it belong. It can be distributed (see the arrow in Fig. 5a).

In various embodiments of the present invention, 1) the volume condition 60L is satisfied, but 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied or 2) the distance condition Lmax is not satisfied 2) the distance condition Lmax If the transportation unit (U) is determined according to, the transportation unit (U) may be maintained (for example, referring to the transportation unit U2 of FIG. 5A, requesting distribution of transportation resources corresponding to short-distance transportation of light volume), Alternatively, the collection unit (U) itself may be maintained, but only the specific product exceeding the limit distance (Lmax) may be distributed to the collection unit (U) to which other products in the immediate vicinity belong (see the arrow in FIG. 5a), and the collection unit The volume of the collection unit (U) is relatively small to the extent that it is inefficient to group it into (U), so the collection unit (U) with a large difference from the limit volume is released, and each product belonging to the released collection unit (U) is It can be distributed to the collection unit (U) to which other adjacent products belong (see the arrow in FIG. 5a, requesting distribution of transport resources considering the excess volume exceeding the limit volume of 60L of the collection unit U), or FIG. 5b A reclassification of aggregation units (U) as shown in may be performed.

As shown in FIG. 5B, 2) when the collection unit (U) is determined according to the distance condition (Lmax), the collection unit (U) set in the previous step, including the corresponding collection unit (U), is released, and the collection unit (U) is collected. The re-classification of the aggregation unit (U), which again performs the classification of the aggregation unit (U), may be performed, and by proceeding with a process different from the initial classification of the aggregation unit (U), the subordinated aggregation unit (U) set in the second half of the clustering ) can solve the problem of including lightweight products scattered over a wide area. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, in the initial classification, 2) a product (specific product) that exceeds the limit distance (Lmax) from the transport center (C) according to the distance condition (Lmax) is newly transported. It is set as the center (C1, specific collection center C1), and a collection unit (U1, specific collection unit U1) with the newly set collection center (C1, specific collection center C1) as the center can be set. In this way, a specific collection unit (U1) ), that is, except for the goods belonging to the specific delivery unit (U1), the goods with the largest volume are set as the delivery center (C2), substantially the same as the first classification, for the rest of the other goods, and the set delivery center A collection unit (U2) having (C2) as a center can be set. At this time, in various embodiments of the present invention, in the initial classification as shown in FIG. 5A, 2) a product exceeding the limit distance (Lmax) from the consignment center (C) according to the distance condition (Lmax) is recognized as a specific product, and , In the reclassification as shown in FIG. 5B, when the reclassification of the collection unit (U) is performed in such a way that a recognized specific product is set as a specific collection center (C1) and a specific collection unit (U1) is set, the first In classification, a specific product can be recognized as a number. For example, after classification of all products to be dispatched in the initial classification is completed, by performing reclassification, the maximum number of specific products that can come out of the initial classification can be recognized. It can be induced to calculate (preprocessing clustering to produce a specific product), and by applying sequential clustering based on the volume relationship among the maximum number of specific products, the primary collection center (C1) is selected from among the maximum number of specific products. It is set as the largest volume product, and adjacent products can be set as the same primary collection unit (U1) until the limit volume is filled in the distant direction from the set primary collection center (C1), and the primary collection unit (U1) Among the other specific products excluding , a specific product with a large volume in the next order is set as the secondary collection center (C2), and adjacent products are placed in the same secondary distribution until the limit volume is filled in the distant direction from the set secondary collection center (C2). According to the method of setting the delivery unit (U2), the delivery center (C) can be set according to the size relationship of the volume among the maximum number of specific products. For the rest of the products except for the collection unit (U) with (C) as the center, the product with the largest volume is set as the 3rd delivery center (C) according to the volume size relationship substantially the same as in the first classification. And the setting of the tertiary collection unit (U) with the corresponding collection center (C) as the center can be continued.

For reference, throughout this specification, setting the collection unit (U) having the collection center (C) as the center means that the collection center (C) corresponds to the center position of the collection unit (U) in terms of location. It does not mean that, with the collection center (C) as the origin, and based on a short distance from the collection center (C) (while advancing from a short distance to a long distance), each product is grouped into the same delivery unit (U), , in this sense, the convergence center (C) can be said to correspond to the center of clustering.

<Location based product selection>

Hereinafter, selection of a product based on the location of a purchaser will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 .

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a first selection path in which product selection is initiated from information on the product itself, regardless of the location of the purchaser.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a second selection path in which product selection is started based on location information of a purchaser.

FIG. 8 schematically shows a server in which a product list (link information) provided in the second selection path shown in FIG. 7 is stored in the form of a web document for each purchaser.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining another second selection path in which product selection is initiated from the location of a purchaser for each theme product.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in one embodiment of the present invention, a server performing a commerce relay service between a buyer and a purchaser may provide a relay service for one commerce area. Based on location information of a plurality of purchasers located in the commercial transaction area, product information of each purchaser located in the commercial transaction area may be provided along with a street view of the corresponding commercial transaction area.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may transmit a document type file (web document) such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) or XML (Extensible Markup Language) to a buyer's terminal connected to the server, and the buyer Through an application such as a web browser running on the terminal of the server, the location information of the purchaser and product information handled by each purchaser may be matched and displayed on the street view of the commercial area relayed by the server. In one embodiment of the present invention, product information of a purchaser is matched and displayed on a street view of a commercial transaction area relayed by the server, so that even if the server does not directly visit the commercial transaction area relayed by the server, virtual information about the commercial transaction area is displayed. It is possible to provide a shopping experience, and by providing a virtual shopping experience to buyers in remote places far from the commercial area, for example, overseas buyers, the commercial area relayed by the server, for example, a prominent shopping mall such as Namdaemun Market Interest in the commercial area can be increased, and a virtual shopping experience provided online can lead to an increase in sales for the corresponding commercial area, as well as an increase in online sales through the server's commercial relay. By inducing a direct visit, it can lead to an increase in offline sales.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may transmit a web document such as HTML to a buyer's terminal connected to the server, and on the buyer's terminal through an application such as a web browser running on the buyer's terminal. , can provide a street view of the commercial district. At this time, the server generates a specific area set on the street view of the commercial area or a web element displayed on the street view (ex. an image hyperlink such as a direction mark or a text hyperlink such as a string, hereinafter a web element) According to a click event (onclick or mouseover), a web document linked to a hyperlink is referred to, and a new street view with a moved pew point is provided by referring to the link information of the web document, or a product linked to a hyperlink is provided. Information may be displayed on the buyer's terminal.

For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server refers to web documents stored in the server and provides a street view as a lower layer according to a priority such as z-index, such as a multimedia image or video. Content can be executed, overlapping with the street view as an upper layer, including a specific area of the street view or web elements (image hyperlinks such as direction signs or text hyperlinks such as text strings) displayed superimposed on the street view. Layers are arranged to overlap on the street view of the lower layer, and the street view is updated according to a new view point according to a click event generated in a specific area or web element set in the upper layer, or the product of the purchaser displayed in the street view is displayed. It can be output overlapping on the tab where the street view is displayed, or it can be displayed on a new tab.

In one embodiment of the present invention, while providing a street view for a commercial area including a plurality of images of vendors, from a specific area set on each vendor image or a web element overlapping on each vendor image A product list of a corresponding supplier may be provided according to a click event (onclick or mouseover) generated, and the product list may be provided with a plurality of product images of the corresponding supplier according to a click event of a web element overlapping an image of the supplier. and can be displayed on the purchaser's terminal by the server referring to the web document linked to the web element corresponding to the purchaser.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may refer to a web document linked to an image of a purchaser in which a click event has occurred, and provide a product list of a corresponding purchaser. Referring to FIG. 8 , a web document in which a product list (link information) of each purchaser is inserted corresponding to each purchaser may be stored in the server for each purchaser. In the server, a web document in which a product list (link information) is inserted may be stored for each purchaser, and product images (image Modifications such as arrangement of hyperlinks), addition of new product images, and deletion of old or low-selling product images can be made more freely. In one embodiment of the present invention, a web document including link information on brief information of a product provided in a second selection path starting from location information of a purchaser such as a street view may be stored, and the web document The right to modify may be granted to each acquirer according to the type of account logged into the server (see FIG. 8).

Referring to FIG. 7 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the server refers to a web document in which link information of a product list is inserted, and as a product list, an image hyperlink expressed as a product image is divided into a plurality of rows and columns. A web in the form of a table arranged for each cell may be displayed on the buyer's terminal. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the product list is a product list of a purchaser where a click event has occurred on a street view, and two or more products may be displayed together on one window. In various embodiments, each product image (image hyperlink expressed as a product image) may be displayed for each divided area of one window in the form of a table on the window.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may provide product information connected to each image hyperlink according to a click event on the image hyperlink represented by each product image, for example, the The server may refer to a web document in which each product information (link information) connected to a hyperlink represented by each product image is inserted, and display corresponding product information on the buyer's terminal. That is, the server transmits corresponding product information linked to each image hyperlink according to a click event (onclick or mouseover) generated in an image hyperlink represented by each product image on the product list of the corresponding purchaser. can be displayed on the

As will be described later, in one embodiment of the present invention, the products included in the product list of each purchaser include a first group of products for which detailed information is registered according to the type of product information registered in the server; It can be classified as a second group product in which only brief information, not detailed information, is registered. Hereinafter, products of the first and second groups will be described in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in one embodiment of the present invention, products for which information is provided by matching with location information of a purchaser on a street view of a commercial area are first and second groups having different types of information registered in the server. of products may be included. As the product information of the first group, the server may store detailed information on the product of the first group, and as the product information of the second group, the server may have detailed information on the product of the second group. Instead, only brief information about the second group of products may be stored.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server (database of the server) may store a plurality of product information registered from a plurality of different purchasers, and the product information includes a first group including detailed information. A second group of product information including product information and brief information other than detailed product information may be included.

Through this specification, the product of the first group means that among the commercial products relayed by the server, detailed information is registered in the server, detailed information is displayed, or at least a link to the detailed information of the product, such as a button type or a bookmark type, is provided. It may refer to a product for which a purchase request can be made through the displayed web, and a purchase button linked to a purchase procedure may be provided on the web associated with detailed information as described above according to a click event as a purchase request.

In one embodiment of the present invention, for the first group of products, product selection is initiated from information on the product itself, regardless of the location information of the purchaser, for example, without going through a street view displaying the location of the purchaser. Product selection may be made by the first selection path (see FIG. 6) or by the second selection path in which product selection is initiated from location information of the supplier (eg, a street view displaying the location of the supplier). Yes (see FIG. 7). Here, the first and second selections do not mean the priority of selection, and the product selection is initiated from the information of the product itself regardless of the location of the purchaser (first selection, see FIG. 6) or the location information of the purchaser (eg For example, there may be a difference in the selection path starting from (the second selection, see FIG. 7) from the street view where the location of the purchaser is displayed, and the products of the first group are divided into two selection paths, the first and second selection. Purchases can be made after being selected along .

In one embodiment of the present invention, product selection is based on two different selection paths: a first selection initiated from information on the product itself that is not based on the location information of the purchaser, and a second selection initiated from the location information of the purchaser. , and the first selection path and the second selection path will be described in more detail later.

Through this specification, the second product means that among the commercial products relayed by the server, only brief information, not detailed information of the product, is registered in the server, and brief information of the product is displayed, or a product such as a button type or a bookmark type. It may refer to a product for which a purchase request can be made through a web displaying a link related to brief information, and as described above, a purchase process can be initiated according to a click event as a user's purchase request on the web related to the brief information of the product. A purchase button may be provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, the second product is a first selection path in which product selection is started from information on the product itself that is not based on location information of the purchaser (eg, a street view displaying the location of the purchaser) Instead of using the method (see FIG. 6), a purchase may be made after being selected through a second selection path (see FIG. 7) in which product selection is initiated based on location information of a purchaser.

Referring to FIG. 6 , in one embodiment of the present invention, product information may be arranged on the web displayed on a buyer's terminal connected to the server regardless of the location information of the purchaser. For example, the buyer's query text A plurality of product information retrieved from the server (database of the server) according to (search word) is in a table format (or list format) having cells divided along rows and/or columns, or having a plurality of frames divided in one window It can be arranged in the form of a set of frames, and each divided cell or frame can be linked to a new web containing detailed information of a corresponding product according to a click event. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a web provided by a web document received from a server may be implemented on a buyer's terminal accessing a server, and a form implemented on the web and a server side For example, when a purchase request for a product selected from a buyer is made in response to a buyer's search query obtained through the CGI (Common Gateway Interface), there is a case where a product purchase request is made without based on the location information of the purchaser. This case may be referred to as a first selection path in which product selection is initiated from information on the product itself, regardless of the location of the purchaser. As such, in one embodiment of the present invention, regardless of the location information of the purchaser, the location information of the purchaser, that is, the street view displaying the location of the purchaser may not be provided on the first selection path starting from the information of the product itself. and product selection can be initiated from information on the product itself, regardless of the location information of the purchaser.

The products of the first group may be selected along a first selection path (see FIG. 6) starting from information about the product itself, and otherwise, a second selection path (see FIG. 7) starting from location information of a purchaser. may be selected according to For example, the first product may be selected along a second selection path for checking detailed product information through a hyperlink connected to a product list of a purchaser on a street view displaying a location of a purchaser. At this time, the server may store detailed information of the first group of products, and the detailed information of the first group of products is provided as the same content in the first and second selection paths (see FIGS. 6 and 7). It can be. For example, link information leading to detailed information on each product may be connected to a list of a group of products searched according to the buyer's query text (search word) along the first selection path (see FIG. 6), and 2 Link information leading to detailed information on each product may be connected to the product list linked to each purchaser location along the selection path (see FIG. 7), and the product list obtained through the first and second selection paths The detailed information may be linked to the same content (the same content- or a web document in which link information thereof is inserted), and the detailed information of the same product may be displayed regardless of the first and second selection paths (see FIGS. 6 and 7). can be provided.

The products of the second group cannot be selected along the first selection path (see FIG. 6 ) starting from the information of the product itself, and cannot be selected from the location information of the purchaser (for example, a street view displaying the location of the purchaser). It can be selected along the second selection path (see FIG. 7) that is disclosed. For example, the second product may be selected along a second selection path (see FIG. 7 ) for checking brief information of a product through a hyperlink connected to a product list of a purchaser on a street view displaying a location of a purchaser. . At this time, the server may store brief information on the second group of products instead of detailed information on the second group of products, and the brief information on the second group of products may be stored in the image hyperlink of the purchaser displayed on the street view. After the product list of the purchaser is output through the link, the image of each product displayed in the product list can be displayed on the buyer's terminal through a hyperlink. For example, as the brief information, the image of the product and In addition, essential information for purchase, such as price information or a phone number of a purchaser, may be provided (see FIG. 7).

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may display detailed information of a product registered from a purchaser on the web to relay commercial transaction of the corresponding product. At this time, as the purchaser, it may be inconvenient to register detailed information such as the manufacturer of the product and the location of the product, including the image of the product, on the server. Due to the difficulty in identifying preferences and the hassle of registering a new product as described above, a user may hesitate to register a new product. In one embodiment of the present invention, unlike the relaying of the first group of products, the second group of products only needs to register brief information together with the product image, for example, essential information for purchase, and also It is possible to simply register a new product by modifying a dedicated web or web document assigned to the purchaser of (the right to modify is granted according to the type of account logged into the server, see FIG. 8), and the server Prior to registering as a product, the purchaser's preference can be estimated, for example, if the sales of the product increase through the second selection path (see FIG. 7) initiated from the street view as a purchaser, the first group Before registering with the detailed information of the product as a product of the first group, such as registering in the server with detailed information of the product as a product of (first selection path, see FIG. (First selection path, see FIG. 6), product sales can be started through a second selection path (second selection path, see FIG. 7), such as a street view, with only brief information on the product. In addition, in the case of the first group of products registered with detailed product information on the server's web, a more conservative pricing policy can be maintained rather than a flexible pricing policy, and price fluctuations can affect the reliability of the server operator. However, in the case of the second group products provided through the image hyperlink of the purchaser on the street view, only brief information essential for purchase is provided, and more flexible information that can be changed at any time through the web or web document managed by the purchaser itself is provided. A price policy is possible, and before registering a product in the first group in the server, an appropriate price for the product in the second group may be estimated in consideration of the sales volume.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the classification of the first and second groups of products leads to registration as a second group product before registration as a first group product, and as a result, the first group product Since registration can be induced, the operator of the server can also promote product registration despite the inconvenience of registration.

Referring to FIG. 8 , a web document in which a product list (link information) connected through a hyperlink of a supplier image displayed on a street view is inserted can be individually assigned to each supplier, and as the supplier, the web document assigned to the customer Modifications such as arranging product images (image hyperlinks), adding new product images, or deleting old or low-selling product images can be made more freely through editing.

In one embodiment of the present invention, authentication such as member registration, member login, etc. may be performed through a form (FORM) of a web document received by a terminal of a purchaser accessing a server and a CGI (common gateway interface) on the server side, where , as members, the server can include both buyer members and buyer members on both sides of the transaction. For example, a member who has been certified as a member of the purchaser can more flexibly display his or her products on the web through a dedicated web or web document assigned to each member of the purchaser, and the first and second groups of products can be displayed on the web. With the information of the server, it can be registered and updated.

Referring to FIG. 9 , as another embodiment of the second selection path in which product selection is initiated from location information of a purchaser, the server displays a purchaser for each theme product on a buyer's terminal along with an overall view of a commercial transaction area in which a commercial transaction is relayed. For example, at the request of the buyer, a group of purchasers that handle the first theme product selected alternatively may be collectively displayed. For example, the first theme A group of purchasers handling products can be collectively displayed. In addition, the server may collectively display another group of purchasers handling the second theme product selected alternatively according to the buyer's request on the entire view of the commercial area.

For example, the server divides the window to provide an overall view of the commercial area in the upper frame, while displaying various themes as selectable radio buttons on the buyer's terminal in the lower frame. At this time, according to an alternative selection among different theme products, eg, a first theme product and a second theme product, selectively displayed with a radio button, the server handles the selected first theme product. The embedded location of can be displayed overlapping with the entire view on the upper frame.

For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server refers to a web document stored in the server, and puts multimedia content such as an image providing a full view of a commercial area in an upper frame dividing the circle diagram. Selectable radio buttons for products with different themes may be displayed in the lower frame, and link information connected to each radio button for products with different themes may be inserted in the web document.

According to the selection input of the radio button, the server can execute multimedia content such as an image that provides a full view as a lower layer according to a priority such as z-index, and select a radio button and a linked web document as an upper layer. Arrange the upper layer including web elements (image hyperlinks such as dot marks) that display the location of the purchaser handling the corresponding theme product by implementing it so that it overlaps on the overall view of the lower layer, and in the image hyperlink of the upper layer Depending on the click event that occurs, the product (or theme product) corresponding to the location of the supplier displayed in the full view is displayed overlapping on the tab (window) displaying the full view or displayed on a new tab (window). can For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, in the server, each web document for realizing a web in which the location of a group of purchasers handling each theme product is displayed as a dot-like image hyperlink is provided in the server. may be stored. In addition, according to the click event of the image hyperlink indicating the location of each supplier, the product list of each supplier, that is, the product list provided by clicking the image hyperlink of the supplier displayed on the street view, is output in the same way, or each supplier A theme product list in which only theme products selected from among the products in the form of image hyperlinks are arranged may be output.

<Private settings to prevent imitation of small fashion items>

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 10 to 15C , a non-disclosure setting for preventing copying of a small fashion item will be described.

10 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a web implemented for relaying commercial transactions of products set as private.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a one-to-one relationship between a purchaser and a buyer for disclosing a product set as private.

12A to 12C are diagrams exemplarily showing different classes that can be classified according to external characteristics in accessories such as earrings.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an artificial intelligence neural network model that implements a regression algorithm that analyzes a correlation between a plurality of attributes and a class label as characteristics of an appearance of an undisclosed product.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a convolutional neural network model that predicts the probability that a closed product belongs to a product image itself as an input.

15A to 15C are examples of filters included in the convolutional neural network model, with high values along the appearance features of each class to generate a feature map from which the appearance features of each class belonging to the same product category can be extracted. Figures showing exemplary filters having a weight of .

Referring to FIG. 10, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server sets the image of the product itself as private so as not to be disclosed, and instead of the image of the product, discloses a similar image to display a rough image of the product. You can relay commercial transactions for privately set products that allow you to understand. For example, for a non-public product, the server does not disclose the product image itself to general members and similar images based on a one-to-one relationship between the purchaser (buyer member) and the purchaser (see FIG. 11) of the product. is disclosed, targeting a buyer with a relatively high rating set in the one-to-one relationship between the buyer (member of the buyer) and the buyer (see FIG. 11), for example, a buyer who has accumulated trust with the buyer and is relatively less concerned about product duplication. You can disclose the image of the product itself.

Referring to FIG. 11 , in one embodiment of the present invention, by disclosing the image of the product according to the one-to-one relationship between the purchaser (buyer member) of the product and the purchaser, the purchase value of the product as a replica of the product, particularly the appearance itself. In small fashion items such as fashion items that can be determined or accessories that can be duplicated quickly, copying of the product can be blocked, and as a purchaser, it is possible to prevent the appearance of competition due to duplicated products and the resulting decrease in sales. there is.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the one-to-one relationship between the purchaser and the buyer, as a prerequisite for the disclosure of undisclosed goods, is not based on objective data such as membership registration or member authentication, but on the consent of both parties between the purchaser and the purchaser. For example, a one-to-one relationship between the purchaser and the purchaser stored in the server based on the agreement between the purchaser and the purchaser, not by input of objective data and authentication from the server side for the input data. can mean For example, the one-to-one relationship may be displayed on the web in different expressions, such as first cousin, neighbor, or friend, depending on the relationship between the purchaser and the purchaser, but the one-to-one relationship may be ranked according to the relationship. For example, the level of such a one-to-one relationship can be registered in the server by agreement of both parties between a specified purchaser and a specified purchaser, and the level of such a one-to-one relationship is between a specified purchaser (a purchaser member) and a specified purchaser. It is established in a one-to-one relationship between (buyer members), and is set objectively for a specific member itself, such as an excellent member registered on the server, that is, based on objective data such as the member's purchase data. It's different from the grade you get. In one embodiment of the present invention, whether or not a private product is disclosed is different from whether or not a member subscribed to the server side or whether the member is authenticated. The image of the non-public product is not disclosed to the other party, and the image of the non-public product can be disclosed only to members whose one-to-one relationship with the purchaser of the product is set to a high level.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as a purchaser who has registered an undisclosed product, it is possible to block the formation of a competitive relationship with the product by promptly copying the product through external appearance disclosure, but within a limited personal range of disclosure of the product image. As a result, sales of the product may be limited. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, even if a product is set to be private, a notice is posted on the web to the effect that whether or not to disclose is determined according to a one-to-one relationship with the purchaser of the product, along with a similar image targeting general members. Even if you are a general member who cannot check the image of a non-public product, through one-on-one contact with the purchaser of the product later, you can get away from competition by purchasing non-public products and replicating products in the retail market, and gain an advantageous market such as a monopoly. can form For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server may relay product transactions between a purchaser classified as a wholesaler and a buyer classified as a retailer, and through this specification, a buyer is a business operator corresponding to a retailer rather than an individual member. Since you can be a member, you can promote the purchase of undisclosed products through one-on-one contact with the purchaser of the undisclosed product for the purpose of handling products with excellent marketability through the undisclosed product. Through the disclosure of similar images, it is possible to grasp the outline of the product and induce one-on-one contact with the purchaser of the product.

In one embodiment of the present invention, for a non-public product, as similar images that can be disclosed to general members, a probability of belonging to different classes classified within the same product category is calculated, and a probability of belonging to the same class as the corresponding product Along with this relatively high typical image of the same class, the calculated probability can be published together. In one embodiment of the present invention, a class with a relatively high probability or a typical image of the corresponding class is disclosed by classifying the class according to the appearance of the product within the product category to which the product belongs, calculating the probability of belonging to the classified class, can do.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the product image itself is set to be private, and the non-public product that discloses a similar image is a fashion item whose purchase value can be determined by the appearance of the product, such as accessories that can be reproduced in a relatively short period of time. It may correspond to a small fashion item, and may also correspond to a fashion item classifiable as a class in which a number of products belonging to the same product category share some external characteristics (attributes). For example, in accessories such as earrings, a stud or button type earring (FIG. 12a) clinging to the attachment location (ear) and hanging down from the attachment location (ear) to swing. A drop or dangle type earring (FIG. 12b) that hangs down in one line form and a ring that hangs down from the attachment position (ear) and hangs down in a closed loop form such as a circle or a triangle (Fig. 12b) ring) or hoop type earrings (FIG. 12c).

In one embodiment of the present invention, using a mathematical model or an artificial intelligence neural network model, the probability that a product set to be private belongs to a plurality of classes classified within the same category is calculated, for example, classified with a relatively high probability. A typical image of the selected class can be displayed on the web as an image similar to the corresponding private product. At this time, as a plurality of classes belonging to the same product category, stud or button type earrings (FIG. 12a), drop or dangle type earrings (FIG. 12b), rings Alternatively, hoop-type earrings (FIG. 12c) are encoded as integers such as class 0, class 1, and class 2, or applied to a mathematical model or artificial intelligence neural network model through one-hot encoding. can be encoded.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server inputs (input vectors) a plurality of attributes (numerical shape factors such as length and width) as characteristics of the appearance of products belonging to the same product category (regression algorithm, diagram 13) or a product image itself as an input and a mathematical model or artificial intelligence neural network model capable of predicting a class label (convolutional neural network, see FIG. The probability of belonging to each class can be calculated.

Referring to FIG. 13, in one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of properties (numerical shape factors such as length and width) and class labels (for example, earrings of different types, respectively) as characteristics of the appearance of an undisclosed product. ) can be used, and this regression algorithm can be implemented as a neural network model of artificial intelligence. For example, in the regression algorithm, it is possible to predict the probability that a corresponding product belongs to each class from a linear combination of multiple attributes (x) of the product's appearance. For example, the linearity of the multiple attributes (x) The value of the weight (w) added to each attribute in the combination may be calculated through learning of the neural network model. In one embodiment of the present invention, the linear combination of the plurality of attributes (x) may include each attribute and a combination of each attribute, for example, the product of each attribute itself and arbitrarily It may include a product of two or more selected properties.

More specifically, the artificial intelligence neural network model includes an input vector (x) in which a plurality of attributes (numerical shape factors such as length and width) of the appearance of a product belonging to the same product category are arranged in an array form, and learning An activation function such as a sigmoid function in binary classification or a softmax function in multiclass classification is applied to a linear combination of the learned weight vectors (w, or the learned weight matrix). As an applied output, it can be output as a one-dimensional array in the form of a one-hot vector that displays the probability of belonging to each class for each column position.

Referring to FIG. 13, in one embodiment of the present invention, as an artificial intelligence neural network model for calculating a class with a high probability to which an undisclosed product belongs, a plurality of attributes of the product's appearance (numerical values such as length and width) A neuron including a linear combination of an input vector (x) in which shape factor) is arranged in an array form and a learned weight vector (w, or a learned weight matrix) or an activation function applied to the linear combination thereof is formed in a single layer form. An input layer (x) to which a single-layer neural network model is applied or to which the input vector is input, a hidden layer (z) fully connected to the input layer (x), and an output layer fully connected to the hidden layer (z) ( A deep neural network model including multiple layers of neurons such as y) may be applied. In one embodiment of the present invention, the learned weight vector (or learned weight matrix) is a learning data set prepared in advance, and the attribute (length) of a product given a class label as a target among classes classified within the same product category. , a numerical shape factor such as width) as an input vector (x) by applying a backpropagation algorithm that calculates a partial derivative function to minimize the error or cost function between the predicted class label as the output of the neural network model and the given target label The weight vector (w, or weight matrix) can be updated every 1 epoch, for example, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is updated every one training data (stochastic gradient descent method, stochastic gradient descent) or Alternatively, the learned weight vector (w, or weight matrix) can be obtained by updating (minibatch gradient descent) for each of several training data.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as an artificial intelligence neural network model for calculating a class with a high probability that a closed product belongs, a plurality of attributes (numerical shape factors such as length and width) of the product's appearance and each Instead of a regression algorithm that analyzes the correlation between probabilities of belonging to a class, a convolutional neural network model input as the product image itself can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 14, the convolutional neural network model alternates between a convolutional layer including a plurality of filters and a pooling layer (max pooling, average pooling) for reducing the size of a feature map calculated from the convolutional layer. , and finally flattening a 3-dimensional feature map having a 2-dimensional matrix and a depth dimension in a 1-dimensional form and an output layer fully connected to the flattened 1-dimensional feature vector Probabilities of belonging to each class may be output in the form of a one-hot vector through the encompassing dense layer.

For example, the convolution layer may include a plurality of filters, and a plurality of filters (each element of the filter) on R, G, and B image data (pixel values as each element of the image data) as image data of an undisclosed product. As , the weight w) is convoluted, so that a feature map in the form of increasing the depth dimension while decreasing the two-dimensional size of the matrix can be generated, and the same padding with 0 padding along the periphery of the image data of the private product ( same padding), it is possible to prevent the pixel value information according to each matrix position from being biased according to the position, and in this case, the matrix size of the feature map can be maintained. In contrast, the image data of the private product Valid padding that generates a feature map by itself may be applied. In this case, the matrix size of the feature map may be reduced.

For example, in the convolutional layer, the filter is moved by the number of pixels corresponding to a pre-set stride on the two-dimensional image data of the undisclosed product, while the pixel value of the position of the row and column corresponding to each other and the linearity of the weight of the filter The feature map can be generated by calculating the combination, for example, by applying an activation function (ReLu function, ReLu) to a linear combination of pixel values of the image data of the private product and weights (w) of the filter. can create In one embodiment of the present invention, a filter having a size of 3x3 or a size of 5x5 may be applied to the convolution layer.

The pooling layer may be applied with max pooling or average pooling in order to reduce the size of the feature map generated from the convolution layer, and by applying the pooling layer rather than increasing the stride of the convolution layer , it can achieve better performance while reducing the size of the feature map. The dense layer flattens a 3-dimensional feature map having a 2-dimensional matrix and a depth dimension into a 1-dimensional feature vector, and performs a linear combination or linear combination of a plurality of elements forming the 1-dimensional feature vector. By applying the activation function, it is possible to calculate the probability of belonging to each class classified within a product category such as a private product. For example, the probability of belonging to each class is represented by different column positions (index positions). One-dimensional arrays in the form of one-hot vectors can be obtained.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the weight (w) of the filter applied in the convolutional layer may be learned using a training data set including a plurality of training data and a target class label given for each training data. Example For example, by applying a backpropagation algorithm that calculates a partial derivative function for minimizing an error or a cost function between a predicted class label predicted from a convolutional neural network model and a given target label, the weight of the filter can be updated every epoch. can

15A to 15C, a plurality of filters may be applied in the convolutional layer, and each filter may be applied to each class to generate a feature map capable of extracting external features of each class belonging to the same product category. A plurality of filters having a high value of weight may be applied along the appearance characteristics of . For example, as a plurality of classes belonging to the same product category, in order to classify button-type earrings (see FIG. 12A), a button type earring (see FIG. 15A) is applied with a high weight according to the button shape. A feature map having a high output value in the corresponding region can be generated through convolution with image data (input values) of (FIG. 15a). In addition, in order to classify the drop type earrings (see FIG. 12b), a filter having a high weight (see FIG. 15b) is applied along the vertical direction, and the corresponding drop type image data (input value) is convoluted. It is possible to create a feature map with a high output value in the region (Fig. 15b). Similarly, in order to classify a ring-type earring (FIG. 12C), a filter having a high weight (FIG. 15C) is applied along a closed loop surrounding the central hollow, and the ring-type image data (input value) A feature map having a high output value in the corresponding region can be generated through convolution with ( FIG. 15c ). However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the convolutional neural network for image classification may include a plurality of convolutional layers, and a filter applied in the plurality of convolutional layers may activate a part of the image from the entire image of the undisclosed product. , Since the convolutional layer close to the input layer can recognize visual information or patterns and can recognize higher-order concepts going from the input layer to the output layer, as described above, each filter corresponds to one class. Recognizing the external appearance characteristics may correspond to one embodiment among various embodiments of the present invention.

As such, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to predict the probability that a closed product belongs to each class by using a neural network model in which a regression algorithm is implemented or by using a convolutional neural network model, and a normalized probability value of 0.5 or more The class predicted by the probability is determined as the class to which the private product belongs, and the predicted probability can be disclosed along with a typical image of the corresponding class. For example, when the private product corresponds to a drop-type earring (see FIG. 12B), the neural network model or convolutional neural network model in which the regression algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented is The probability of belonging to the type class (see FIG. 12b) can be predicted with a probability close to 1, while the probability of belonging to the button type class (see FIG. 12a) or the ring type class (see FIG. 12c) can be predicted with a probability close to 1. It can be predicted with a probability close to 0. Accordingly, the server may not disclose the image of the undisclosed product itself, but may provide a similar image as minimum information on the appearance of the undisclosed product. A typical image belonging to a predicted class with a relatively high probability (normalized probability of 0.5 or more) may be disclosed as a similar image for . In another embodiment of the present invention, a typical image belonging to a class predicted with a probability of 0.3 or more, rather than a normalized probability of 0.5 or more, may be disclosed as a similar image for the undisclosed product. If, as a similar image for a private product, only a normalized class predicted with a probability of 0.5 or more is released as a similar image, only one similar image can be disclosed, and also a normalized class predicted with a probability of 0.5 or more. If there is no, for example, in the case of a product sharing the attributes of two or more classes, the probability of belonging to each class is unlikely to be calculated as substantially normalized 0.5 or more, so in one embodiment of the present invention, non-disclosure For products set to , a typical image belonging to a predicted class with a normalized probability of 0.3 or higher can be disclosed as a similar image.

For example, the server may store typical images belonging to each class, and since these typical images clearly have the appearance characteristics for classifying each class, the neural network model clearly identifies the appearance characteristics of each product. It can be used as training data of a neural network model so that it can be recognized clearly.

<Detection of trend change according to sudden change in buyer's preference>

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, a series of processes of the server for detecting a trend change according to a sudden change in a buyer's preference will be described.

16 is a diagram showing the extraction of index candidate products of the first and second groups according to the sudden change in the buyer's preference.

17 is a diagram showing a series of processes of a server outputting a trend index product image by taking a group of index candidate product images as inputs.

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17 together, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server periodically calculates the buyer's preference, and selects a group of products in which the buyer's preference rapidly fluctuates from the calculated buyer's preference as an index candidate. It recognizes it as a product, selects a product having common characteristics among these index candidate products as a trend indicator product, and can disclose the trend indicator product to purchasers who register the product on the server. In one embodiment of the present invention, as a tendency that influences a buyer's preference, environmental factors such as seasonal changes or weather changes, changes in lifestyle trends such as disease epidemics, and purchasers' fashion trends according to the popularity of movies and dramas Trend index products can be disclosed to respond sensitively to these changes by identifying trends that influence preferences. In one embodiment of the present invention, by disclosing a group of trend index products rather than disclosing the tendency itself that influences the buyer's preference, it is possible to prevent damage to the purchaser due to erroneous judgment of the server, and excessive computation of the server. burden can be reduced.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may calculate the buyer's preference at a regular period such as daily or weekly. In one embodiment of the present invention, the buyer's preference may mean the purchase order in which the purchaser's purchase is made, or the purchase order and the buyer's search rank based on the buyer's query are taken into consideration together. It can be understood as quantitatively grasping the interest of .

The server may calculate a ranking change between the current buyer's preference and the buyer's preference calculated immediately before based on the buyer's preference calculated periodically, and a sudden change in the calculated ranking change, for example, a sudden ranking A group of products that show a rise in or a sharp drop in ranking can be recognized as index candidate products. In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may extract a product sharing a common feature from a group of index candidate products as a trend index product.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may extract the trend index product itself, rather than extracting the common feature of the trend index product itself, and accordingly, the server may have a common feature among a group of index candidate products. Products that share can be extracted.

In one embodiment of the present invention, since the purchase value of a product belonging to a fashion item can be determined by the appearance of the product itself, the external characteristics of a group of index candidate products are analyzed to determine the external characteristics among these index candidate products. Sharing products can be extracted and selected as trend index products. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the trend index product can be selected in product category units, and is a fashion item whose purchase value is determined by its appearance, such as earrings, and the classification of the class is clear from external characteristics. As a product category belonging to a small fashion item (ie, accessories) that can be worn, a trend index product can be selected from one product category called earrings.

For example, in the product category of earrings, stud or button type earrings (see FIG. 12a) sticking to the attachment position (ear), and attachment position (ear) in the product category of earrings ) Drop or dangle type earrings (see FIG. 12b) that hang down in a line form to be shaken down from the attachment point (ear) and lungs such as round, triangle, etc. to hang down from the attachment position (ear) and shake It can be classified into different classes called ring or hoop type earrings (see FIG. 12c) that elongate in the form of a loop, and a convolutional neural network trained to distinguish and recognize each class classified in this way Through this, it is possible to extract products having shared appearance characteristics from among a group of index candidate products and select them as trend index products.

Referring to FIG. 14, the server takes image data of a group of index candidate products as input and generates a feature map or a feature vector in the form of an array in which feature maps are arranged one-dimensionally The server may include an artificial intelligence neural network model to generate a feature map or feature vector including the external features of the product, and in one embodiment of the present invention, a convolutional neural network model. can

For example, the convolutional neural network model may alternately include a convolutional layer including a plurality of filters and a pooling layer (max pooling, average pooling) for reducing the size of a feature map calculated from the convolutional layer. Finally, flattening of a 3D feature map having a 2D matrix and a depth dimension in a 1D form and an output layer fully connected to the flattened 1D feature vector Probabilities of belonging to each class may be output in the form of a one-hot vector through the encompassing dense layer.

For example, the convolution layer may include a plurality of filters, and a plurality of filters (each element of the filter) in R, G, and B image data (pixel values as each element of image data) as image data of index candidate products. As , the weight, w) is convolved, so that a feature map in the form of increasing the depth dimension while decreasing the two-dimensional size of the matrix can be generated, and the same padding is padded with 0 along the periphery of the image data of the index candidate product. By applying (same padding), it is possible to prevent the information of pixel values according to the position of each matrix from being biased according to the position, and in this case, the size of the matrix of the feature map can be maintained. Valid padding, which creates a feature map with data itself, may be applied. In this case, the matrix size of the feature map may be reduced.

For example, in the convolutional layer, while moving the filter by the number of pixels corresponding to a preset stride on the two-dimensional image data of the undisclosed product, the pixel values at the positions of the rows and columns corresponding to each other and the weight of the filter (w ) to generate a feature map by calculating a linear combination of, for example, applying an activation function (ReLu function ReLu function) to a linear combination of pixel values of image data of index candidate products and weights (w) of a filter. A feature map can be created in this way. In one embodiment of the present invention, a filter having a size of 3x3 or a size of 5x5 may be applied to the convolution layer.

The pooling layer may be applied with max pooling or average pooling in order to reduce the size of the feature map generated from the convolution layer, and by applying the pooling layer rather than increasing the stride of the convolution layer , it can achieve better performance while reducing the size of the feature map. The dense layer flattens a 3-dimensional feature map having a 2-dimensional matrix and a depth dimension into a 1-dimensional feature vector, and performs a linear combination or linear combination of a plurality of elements forming the 1-dimensional feature vector. By applying the activation function, it is possible to calculate the probability of belonging to each class classified within the product category, such as the index candidate product. For example, the one-hot probability of belonging to each class is represented by different column positions. You can get a one-dimensional array in the form of a vector.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the weight (w) of the filter included in the convolutional layer may be learned using a training data set including a plurality of training data and a target class label given for each training data, For example, by applying a backpropagation algorithm that calculates a partial derivative function for minimizing an error or a cost function between a predicted class label predicted from a convolutional neural network model and a given target class label, the weight of the filter is adjusted every epoch. can be renewed

15A to 15C, the convolutional layer may include a plurality of filters, and each filter generates a feature map capable of recognizing the appearance characteristics of each class belonging to the same product category. Depending on the appearance characteristics of the class, it may have a high value of weight (w). For example, in order to classify button-type earrings (FIG. 12A) as multiple classes belonging to the same product category, by applying a filter (FIG. 15A) having a high weight w along the button shape, A feature map having a high output value in a corresponding region may be generated through convolution with image data (input values) of the type. In addition, in order to classify drop-type earrings (FIG. 12B), a filter (FIG. 15B) having a high weight w along the vertical direction is applied, and through convolution with drop-type image data (input values) A feature map with a high output value in the corresponding region can be created. Similarly, in order to classify a ring-type earring (FIG. 12c), a filter (FIG. 15c) having a high weight (w) is applied along a closed loop surrounding the central hollow, and the ring-type image data ( It is possible to generate a feature map having a high output value in a corresponding region through convolution with an input value). However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the convolutional neural network for image classification may include a plurality of convolutional layers, and a filter applied in the plurality of convolutional layers may activate a part of the image from the entire image of the index candidate product. Since the convolutional layer close to the input layer can recognize visual information or patterns, and can recognize higher-order concepts going from the input layer to the output layer, as described above, each filter is assigned to one class. Recognizing a corresponding appearance feature may correspond to one embodiment among various embodiments of the present invention. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server can classify different classes within the product category of earrings by recognizing simplified patterns with relatively distinct external features, such as earrings, rather than recognizing complex patterns, The number of convolutional layers can be minimized in consideration of the computational burden of the server, and accordingly, each filter included in the convolutional layer can recognize the appearance characteristics of each class.

Referring to FIG. 16, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server periodically calculates the buyer's preference, and a product having a relatively large ranking change corresponding to the difference between the current preference and the previous preference is used as the index candidate product. As an output of a convolution model that takes image data of a group of index candidate products as input, the probability that the corresponding index candidate product belongs to each class can be calculated. At this time, among a group of index candidate products, different index candidate products having similar probabilities of belonging to each class calculated as an output of the convolutional model may be selected as trend index products. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the output of the convolution model is in the form of a one-dimensional vector (feature vector) in which the probability of belonging to each class is displayed at the index (column position) corresponding to each class. (see FIG. 17, feature vector Y1: (y11, y12, y13), feature vector Y2: (y21, y22, y23), the probability of belonging to class 0 y11, y21, belonging to class 1 Probabilities y12, y22, Probabilities belonging to class 2 y13, y23), In one embodiment of the present invention, among a group of index candidate products, feature vectors (Y1, Y2, FIG. 17) corresponding to the output of the convolutional product model are similar to each other Other indicator candidate products can be selected as trend indicator products. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the probability of belonging to a class corresponding to each index may be displayed at each column position in the one-dimensional feature vectors (Y1, Y2, FIG. 17), and each class Different indicator candidate products with similar probability of belonging to can be selected as trend indicator products. In one embodiment of the present invention, the server calculates the Euclidean distance (S) between one-dimensional feature vectors (Y1, Y2, FIG. 17) calculated as an output of a convolution model that takes image data of a group of index candidate products as input. As a calculation method, it is possible to determine whether the external features are shared between different index candidate products. For example, the Euclidean distance (S) between feature vectors (Y1, Y2, FIG. 17) of different index candidate products If is closer than a certain level, it is determined that these index candidate products share external characteristics, and these different index candidate products can be selected as trend index products.

Trend index products as described above may be selected for each product category, and, for example, as a fashion item in which the classification of the class can be clear from the external characteristics while the purchase value is determined by the appearance itself, such as earrings. It can also be applied to small accessories (see Figs. 12a to 12c) or clothing such as children's clothes (Fig. 18) or t-shirts where a flat design determines the external characteristics. For example, some typical design elements except for color design, that is, the probability of belonging to each class or the probability of belonging to each class output through a convolutional neural network model trained to recognize several typical designs such as plain pattern, stripe pattern, check pattern, and frill decoration. Using one-dimensional feature vectors (Y1, Y2, FIG. 17) in which probabilities are displayed at the index of each class, and comparing Euclidean distances (S) and reference values between different candidate index products, different candidates are compared with each other. It is possible to determine whether external characteristics are shared among index products.

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17 , in one embodiment of the present invention, a group of products in which a buyer's preference rapidly fluctuates is recognized as an indicator candidate product, and a product having a common characteristic among the group of index candidate products is selected. It can be selected as a trend index product. Here, a group of products in which the buyer's preference fluctuates rapidly is the first group index candidate product in which the buyer's preference rapidly increases, and the second group in which the buyer's preference rapidly decreases. It can include two groups of indicator candidate products, and among these first group indicator candidate products, the first group of index candidate products that have common features, mainly externally, are classified as trend indicator products of group 1. Apart from the index candidate products of group 1, the index candidate products of group 2 having common characteristics among the index candidate products of group 2 can be selected as trend indicator products of group 2. . At this time, the external characteristics of the index candidate product of the first and second groups are the characteristic map or characteristic vector (Y1, Y2 , Fig. 17), and the Euclidean distance (S, Fig. 17) between different feature maps or feature vectors (Y1, Y2, Fig. 17) can be calculated (similarity calculated). At this time, the index candidate of the first group The degree of similarity between products is calculated, and based on the result, the trend indicator product of group 1 is selected, and the similarity is calculated between the index candidate products of group 2 separately from the trend indicator product of group 1, Depending on the results, the second group of trend index products can be selected. As such, in one embodiment of the present invention, the similarity is calculated only between index candidate products of the first group and only between index candidate products of the second group, and the index candidate products of the first group and the index candidate products of the second group The degree of similarity is not calculated by crossing between index candidate products. Group 1 trend index products are products in which buyers' preference rapidly rises, and conversely, Group 2 trend index products are products in which buyers' preference rapidly declines. This is because we need to respond differently to each other.

<Points of one-to-one relationship between vendor and buyer>

Hereinafter, points accumulated, deducted, and managed in a one-to-one relationship between a purchaser and a purchaser will be described with reference to FIGS. 19A to 21B.

19A to 19C are diagrams for explaining points accumulated, deducted, and managed in a one-to-one relationship between a purchaser and a purchaser.

20 is a diagram for explaining the structure of point data stored in the server and the registration of points related to offline purchasing activities.

21A and 21B are diagrams showing an example in which point details of a purchaser and a purchaser are displayed on the web of the purchaser and the purchaser according to the account type logged into the server.

Referring to FIGS. 19A to 21B , in one embodiment of the present invention, the server is individually provided from each purchaser and can manage point details in units of purchasers that are individually accumulated and deducted from each purchaser. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server may manage the details of points accumulated and deducted in a one-to-one relationship between a buyer and a buyer who registered a purchase product (FIGS. 19A to 19C). The details may be stored in association with the buyer's account information and the purchaser's account information related to each individual purchase activity, and the point details may be understood as the accumulated sum of point information accumulated or deducted from each individual purchase activity. there is. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, point detail may refer to information obtained by time-sequentially accumulating point information accumulated or deducted in one purchase activity.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the server may provide a commerce relay service for one commerce zone, and the target for which the server relays commerce may be limited to one commerce zone, and accordingly, on the server The number of vendors registering products may be limited. Unlike in the present invention, if the commerce relay service is not provided for buyers who are regionally tied to one commerce area, and the commerce relay service is provided for members of the buyer who are registered on the server without regional boundaries , Since managing point details on a one-to-one basis for a large number of purchaser members with small sales scale wastes memory resources of the server and reduces the efficiency of point detail management, in one embodiment of the present invention, one locally It is possible to manage point details on a one-to-one basis (FIGS. 19a to 19c) for a relatively small number of purchaser members who have offline stores in the commercial area while providing a relay service for the commercial area, as will be described later. , By managing point details while accumulating/deducting individual points generated by online and offline transactions of each supplier member, the sales scale of each supplier member can be maintained above the appropriate level for activating points, and point In that the utilization of is activated, the efficiency of managing point details can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 20, in one embodiment of the present invention, a purchaser registering a product on the server may operate an offline store in one commercial area, and the server may store the product registered on the server Together with the points acquired through online purchases for, points acquired through offline purchases at offline stores without going through the server can be accumulated and managed in an integrated manner, and the accumulated points are also registered on the server. It can be used for online purchases and offline purchases at offline stores, and can be deducted from the payment amount by the accumulated points. When purchasing online, the server can check the information of the buyer who purchased the product and the information of the purchaser who registered the product. Accordingly, the details of points accumulated and deducted through each purchase activity are displayed in a one-to-one relationship between each buyer and the purchaser. (FIGS. 19a to 19c) can be managed. However, since the server cannot check purchase activities at offline stores of each purchaser, the accumulation and deduction of individual points through corresponding purchase activities according to the account information of the purchaser (member of the purchaser) logged in to the server , and the accumulation and deduction of points registered by the corresponding purchaser itself is notified to the buyer member where the points are accumulated and deducted, or, for example, by the server that inquires the buyer member's registration information. Point details of the applicable purchaser (purchaser member) according to the account information of the purchaser (buyer member) that is notified to the corresponding purchaser member through the member's terminal, for example, a computing device including a mobile device such as a mobile phone, or later logged in to the server can be displayed as

As the server, even if the purchaser member registers the accumulation and deduction of points for the purchasers who individually participated in the purchase activity due to the purchase activities performed in the off-line store of the purchaser (buyer member), direct manual work by such a purchaser member Since it is not possible to check errors in the registration of accumulation and deduction of points, and registering direct accumulation and deduction of points can be cumbersome even as a member of each purchaser, direct manual work through the transaction receipt issued for the corresponding purchase activity can be avoided, and errors in registration due to direct manual work can be prevented. For example, the purchaser member scans a receipt issued due to purchase activities at his or her offline store, for example, a method of scanning a code (one-dimensional barcode or two-dimensional QR code) recorded on the receipt. As a result, direct manual work can be avoided.

Referring to FIG. 20, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server participates in each purchase activity for each individual point associated with each purchase activity, that is, a series of product registration of the purchaser and purchase of the registered product. A one-to-one relationship between a supplier and a buyer related to purchasing activities may be stored. For example, the details of points stored in the server refer to the sum of point data generated for each individual point by linking the account information of the purchaser and the account information of the purchaser related to one purchase activity in which points were accumulated or deducted. In the point data stored for each individual point, the account information of the purchaser who paid the corresponding points and the account information of the buyer to whom the corresponding points were accumulated are stored in different indexes (buyer index and buyer index). may have been Referring to FIG. 21A, according to the account information logged into the server, the corresponding member's point details can be displayed on the member's terminal or on the web, and the server searches the purchaser index of the point data according to the account type, It is possible to search for a buyer index of the corresponding point data while displaying the details of points associated with the purchaser as a whole, and to display the details of points for each buyer by classifying them. Similarly, referring to FIG. 20B, the server can display the member's point details according to the account information logged in to the server on the member's terminal or the web, and the server can display the point data purchaser according to the account type. While the index is searched and the point details associated with the corresponding purchaser are collectively displayed, the purchaser index of the corresponding point data is searched and the point details for each purchaser can be displayed separately. At this time, the details of the points provided to the buyer member may mean the total of individual points accumulated or deducted due to the purchase activity of the buyer member, but the points accumulated or deducted for all purchasers are displayed as one item. Rather, for example, accumulated or deducted points for each purchaser may be displayed individually, for example, accumulated or deducted points may be displayed as separate items for different purchasers. By individually displaying the points available for each purchaser to the member, it can be provided as a reference for future purchase activities of the corresponding buyer member.

In other words, referring to FIG. 21A , the server searches the purchaser index of point data according to the account type logged into the server, and provides point details based on a group of point data stored in association with the corresponding purchaser. It is collectively displayed, but based on the purchaser index of each of the group of point data, the point details for each purchaser may be separately displayed. Similarly, referring to FIG. 21B, the server searches the buyer index of point data according to the account type logged into the server, and provides point details based on a group of point data stored in association with the corresponding buyer. It is collectively displayed, but based on the purchaser index of each of the group of point data, point details for each purchaser may be separately displayed.
