Alliance Merchant Service

Hereinafter, an order delivery method using the federated affiliated store service proposed in this specification will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an order delivery method using an affiliated merchant service.

First, the delivery platform provides a main screen for order delivery of goods to the user device (S210). The product may be various, such as food and products, but in this specification, food will be described as an example for convenience of description.

The main screen may include a menu screen including a food menu, an information screen including information about food, and a review screen for checking a user's evaluation, review, or review related to food.

Also, the menu screen may include a representative menu, a set menu, and a popular menu.

Thereafter, the user device receives information on a specific menu selected by the user with respect to menus provided by the first service provider (or specific service provider) (S220).

Thereafter, the user device transmits information on the selected specific menu to the delivery platform (S230). For example, the first service provider may be a restaurant providing food.

Thereafter, the delivery platform searches for a second service provider that satisfies a certain condition from the location of the first service provider in order to provide the federated affiliated store service to the user (S240).

The second service provider may refer to a federation service provider associated with or related to the first service provider according to learned data.

For example, if the first service provider is a restaurant serving breakfast or lunch, the second service provider has learned data that people usually eat dessert, such as coffee or ice cream, after eating breakfast or lunch. It may be a coffee shop or an ice cream shop that provides dessert based on .

As another example, if the first service provider is a chicken shop that sells chicken, the second service provider based on learned data that when people eat chicken, they order or eat alcoholic beverages such as beer. It may be a liquor store or a convenience store.

The predetermined condition is (1) within a predetermined radius from the location of the first service provider (unit: meter), (2) within the width of a predetermined movement path between the location of the first service provider and the location of the orderer (or user) (unit: meter) or (3) within a certain radius and a certain angle from the location of the first service provider.

3 to 5 are diagrams illustrating examples of conditions for being selected as a second service provider.

Specifically, FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 correspond to (1), (2), and (3) of the Salpin constant conditions, respectively.

Alternatively, the predetermined condition may further include within a predetermined radius from the user's position or within a predetermined radius and a predetermined angle from the user's position.

Thereafter, the delivery platform transmits information on the searched second service provider to the user device (S250).

The information on the second service provider may include a list including the trade name or name of the searched second service provider, service information provided by the second service provider, and menu information provided by each second service provider.

The list including the trade names or names of the second service providers may be provided when the number of the searched second service providers is plural.

Thereafter, the user device outputs information on a specific menu provided by the first service provider selected by the user and information on the received second service provider together (S260).

The user device may display information on a specific menu provided by the first service provider on the upper side of the screen, and display information on the received second service provider on the lower side of the screen.

Thereafter, when at least one menu provided by at least one second service provider is selected by the user, the user device transmits information on the at least one menu provided by the at least one second service provider to the delivery service provider. It is transmitted to the platform (S270).

Thereafter, the delivery platform determines the delivery fee for the user's order based on the number of service providers (or the number of second service providers) providing the menu selected by the user (S280).

If the number of service providers providing the menu selected by the user is two or more, the delivery fee may be determined as an amount smaller than the total amount of delivery charges when each order of menus provided by two or more service providers is ordered. .

For example, if the number of service providers for menus ordered or requested by the user is 2 (ie, the first service provider: 1, the second service provider: 1), the delivery platform determines the total number of service providers. The user does not determine the shipping fee in proportion to, but only determines the shipping fee for one service provider, or the shipping fee between the shipping fee for one service provider and the shipping fee for two service providers (i.e., 1+a). Determines the shipping fee for delivering ordered or requested menus from

Through this, when using the federated affiliated store service, the user can save shipping fees for order delivery by paying a lower shipping fee than the shipping fee corresponding to the number of service providers.

6 is a flowchart illustrating another example of a method for performing order delivery using the federated affiliated store service.

First, the delivery platform provides a main screen for order delivery of products to the user device (S610).

And, the delivery platform receives information about a specific menu selected by the user with respect to the menu provided by the first service provider from the user device (S620).

Then, the delivery platform searches for a second service provider that satisfies a predetermined condition from the location of the first service provider in order to provide the first service provider and the federated affiliated store service (S630).

Here, the predetermined condition is within a predetermined radius from the location of the first service provider, (2) the width of a predetermined movement path between the location of the first service provider and the user's location, or (3) the first service provider It may be any one within a certain radius and a certain angle from the position of.

The second service provider may be an associated affiliate store service provider of the first service provider that provides a service associated with the first service provider based on the learned data.

Then, the delivery platform transmits information on the searched second service provider to the user device (S640).

Here, the information on the searched second service provider may include a list including the name of the second service provider and menu information provided for each second service provider.

And, the delivery platform receives information on at least one menu provided by at least one second service provider from the user device (S650).

Then, the delivery platform determines the delivery fee for the order requested by the user based on the number of service providers providing the menu selected by the user (S660).

If the number of service providers providing the menu selected by the user is two, the delivery fee is the delivery fee charged to the user when the number of service providers is one and the user charged when the number of service providers is two. It can be decided between the shipping fee.

7 is a diagram illustrating another example of conditions for being selected as a second service provider proposed in this specification.

That is, referring to FIG. 7 , at least one second service provider that can be associated with the first service provider within the region 700 having the same zip code may be selected.

Accordingly, the first service provider and the at least one second service provider correspond to places having the same postal code.

8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method for performing order delivery using the postal code-based federated affiliated store service proposed in this specification.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the delivery platform provides a main screen for ordered delivery of products to the user device (S810).

The main screen may include a menu screen including a food menu, an information screen including information about food, and a review screen for checking a user's evaluation, review, or review related to food.

Then, the delivery platform receives information about a specific menu selected by the user with respect to the menu provided by the first service provider from the user device (S820).

Then, the delivery platform searches for at least one second service provider having the same postal code as the postal code of the first service provider in order to provide an affiliated affiliate store service with the first service provider (S830).

The second service provider may be an associated affiliate store service provider of the first service provider that provides a service associated with the first service provider based on the learned data.

The information on the searched second service provider may include a list including the name of the second service provider, service information provided by the second service provider, and menu information provided for each second service provider.

Then, the delivery platform transmits information on the searched second service provider to the user device (S840).

And, the delivery platform receives information on at least one menu provided by the at least one second service provider from the user device (S850).

Then, the delivery platform determines the delivery fee for the order requested by the user based on the number of service providers providing the menu selected by the user (S860).

When the number of service providers that provide the menu selected by the user is two or more, the delivery fee may be determined as an amount smaller than the total amount of delivery charges when each order of menus provided by two or more service providers is ordered.
