For example, the electronic device 110 of this specification includes at least one sub-device, and some operations described as being performed by the electronic device 110 are performed by the first sub-device, and some other operations are performed by the second sub-device. It may also be performed by a device.

Figure 2 is an operation flowchart of an information processing method of an electronic device in a system for processing item sales information according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic device 110 according to one embodiment obtains a user's request corresponding to the first item (201). As described above, the user's request corresponding to the first item may include a request for a page containing detailed information related to the first item. For example, the user's request corresponding to the first item may include a user input corresponding to an advertising banner for the first item, a user input corresponding to the first item information displayed on the item search result, etc.

The user's request may be received from the user device 120, but is not limited thereto.

In response to the user's request, the electronic device 110 confirms a discount benefit related to the purchase of the first item (202). According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may check the discount benefit related to the purchase of the first item by retrieving previously stored benefit information. In this case, benefit information may be stored in the memory of the electronic device 110 or in various devices (or components) that can perform a storage role, such as a database linked to the electronic device 110.

In addition to retrieving previously stored benefit information, the electronic device 110 can check the discount benefit of the first item according to various methods, such as requesting the latest benefit information from an external server.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may check the discount benefit to which the user is a candidate for application based on the user's account information. Here, becoming a candidate for application may mean that a discount benefit can be applied when the conditions are satisfied even if the specific application conditions (for example, purchase of an item exceeding a certain amount) are not achieved. For example, if a specific discount benefit applies only to men in their 40s, users who are minors may not be candidates for its application.

Meanwhile, with regard to the conditions for applying discount benefits, satisfaction is not determined depending on the user's item purchase activity, but there are conditions that the user can satisfy through other activities, and if the user does not satisfy those conditions, there are conditions that can be satisfied through other activities. In the case where the user is not eligible, whether the user is a candidate for applying the discount benefit may vary depending on the specific service provision type. For example, when a condition for applying a discount benefit is required to use a credit card of a specific card company or to be a registered member of a specific membership, the electronic device 110 identifies the user as a candidate for applying the discount benefit. Considering that it is not possible, the benefit may not be a first discount benefit, which will be described later, or it may be considered a candidate for application of a discount benefit, so that it can become a first discount benefit, which will be described later. In relation to this, if the user does not become a candidate for discount benefits when the user does not satisfy conditions that can be satisfied through activities other than item purchase, only the benefits that can be achieved through item purchase are provided. Because it is exposed to users, it can have the effect of focusing on encouraging users to purchase items. On the other hand, if the user is not able to satisfy conditions that can be satisfied through activities other than purchasing items, and the user can become a candidate for discount benefits, the user can use a credit card from a specific card company. This may have the effect of inducing the user to engage in other activities that may be helpful in the service of the electronic device 110 in addition to purchasing items, such as signing up for a specific membership.

If a discount benefit related to the purchase of the first item exists, the electronic device 110 provides the user with information guiding the first discount benefit related to the purchase of the first item (203). As mentioned above, the information guiding the first discount benefit includes information about the conditions for applying the first discount benefit, and if the conditions for applying the first discount benefit are not achieved, the information guiding the first discount benefit is provided. The information further includes proposal information for achieving the condition.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may provide information guiding the first discount benefit according to a user's request corresponding to the first item (corresponding to drawing number 201). For example, if the user's request corresponding to the first item includes a request for a page containing detailed information related to the first item, the electronic device 110 provides the first discount benefit on the page containing the detailed information. Guidance information can be displayed.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 provides information guiding the first discount benefit when receiving an additional user request after receiving the user's request (corresponding to drawing number 201) corresponding to the first item. You can also provide it. For example, if the user's request corresponding to the first item includes a request for a page containing detailed information related to the first item, the electronic device 110 provides the first discount benefit on the page containing the detailed information. A link leading to guiding information may be provided, and if there is a user input for the link, information guiding the first discount benefit may be displayed.

Relatedly, further referring to FIG. 3, an example of a page for purchasing a first item according to an embodiment is shown (300). The page for purchasing the first item may be a page containing detailed information related to the first item, provided at the request of the user corresponding to drawing number 201.

According to one embodiment, the page for purchasing the first item may include information indicating that benefits can be received (301). The information indicating that a benefit can be received is information that a discount coupon, etc. can be applied when purchasing the first item, and may include, for example, phrases such as “Company A’s October download coupon for membership members only.” When the electronic device 110 provides information guiding the first discount benefit according to a user request corresponding to drawing number 201, the information corresponding to drawing number 301 includes information on conditions for applying the first discount benefit and It may include information such as suggestions for achieving conditions.

On the other hand, when the electronic device 110 receives an additional user request and provides information indicating the first discount benefit, the information corresponding to drawing number 301 notifies that the benefit can be received, but specifies the specific benefit application conditions. etc. may not be notified. However, even in this case, the information corresponding to drawing number 301 may include specific benefit application conditions or part of the purchase proposal information, such as simply including representative item information among the list of items included in the purchase proposal information.

When the electronic device 110 receives an additional user request and provides information guiding the first discount benefit, the information corresponding to drawing number 301 is a user interface for moving to the information guiding the first discount benefit. (UI, User Interface) may be included (302). If there is a user input corresponding to the corresponding user interface, the electronic device 110 can move to a separate page displaying additional information or display additional information on the same page, and the additional information may be used to apply the first discount benefit. It may include information about conditions and suggestion information for achieving the conditions, and an example of this will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 .

Returning to the description of drawing number 203, the electronic device 110 according to one embodiment may obtain information on the item related to achieving the condition for applying the first discount benefit. For example, the electronic device 110 may obtain campaign ID information, which is identification information corresponding to the first discount benefit, and obtain information on the item related to the achievement of the condition by checking the information on the item mapped to the campaign ID. there is. The electronic device 110 may generate suggestion information based on information on the acquired item.

According to one embodiment, the condition for applying the first discount benefit may be related to the user purchasing at least some of a plurality of items included in a specific item set. A specific item set may include, but is not limited to, a first item.

When a specific item set includes the first item, the electronic device 110 assumes that the user has purchased the first item (if there is already a history of purchasing the first item, assume that the first item has been additionally purchased). You can determine whether the condition has been achieved. However, this is an example, and in cases where conditions must be met in advance in order to apply a discount benefit, only the items actually purchased by the user may be considered when determining whether the conditions have been met.

That the condition for applying the first discount benefit is related to the user purchasing at least some of the plurality of items included in the specific item set means that the purchase amount is obtained by purchasing at least some of the plurality of items included in the specific item set. This may include cases where the total exceeds a preset threshold (or becomes more than a preset threshold) and the conditions for applying the first discount benefit are met. However, this is only an example. In addition to the case where the purchase amount reaches a certain number, the condition for applying the first discount benefit is that the total number of items purchased by the user among the plurality of items included in a specific item set is a certain number. It may include various examples, such as exceeding (or exceeding) the value or a case where the user purchases at least one item for each of multiple sub-item sets included in a specific item set.

A specific item set may include, but is not limited to, a first item.

If the condition for applying the first discount benefit is related to the user purchasing at least some of the plurality of items included in the specific item set, the proposal information for achieving the condition is one of the plurality of items included in the specific item set. It may include purchase offer information for at least some of it.

The purchase suggestion information is not appropriate to cover the entire set of items, such as a specific item set containing more items than can be displayed on the screen, or a specific item set containing items that the user is unlikely to purchase. There may be various cases where this is not the case. To solve this problem, the electronic device 110 may determine a list of items included in purchase suggestion information and their display order among a plurality of items included in a specific item set.

In relation to this, according to one embodiment, the list of items included in the purchase suggestion information and their display order may be determined based on priorities set with respect to a plurality of items. The priority may correspond to the item ranking determined based on item sales volume or product reviews of purchasing customers. However, in addition to this, priority may be determined based on various criteria, and depending on the embodiment, it may be determined by further considering the user's profile or seller's request. For example, in addition to the general item ranking determined based on item sales volume or product reviews of purchasing customers, the electronic device 110 provides priority sale item information set by the seller, information on items frequently purchased by customers, and items registered as products of interest by customers. Considering information, etc., the list of items included in the purchase proposal information and their display order can be determined.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may determine the list of items included in the purchase proposal information and their display order based on the specific contents of the condition and a plurality of attributes for each item (eg, price). For example, the condition for applying the first discount benefit is that the total amount for which the user purchases items included in a specific item set is more than 100,000 won, and the amount for which the user purchases items included in a specific item set is In the case of 30,000 won, the electronic device 110 creates a list of items included in the purchase proposal information so that the total amount of money purchased for the items included in the purchase proposal information is 70,000 won or more, which is the amount that the user must purchase more to achieve the condition. If the condition can be achieved by purchasing some of the items included in the purchase proposal information, the display order can be determined so that some of the items that enable the condition to be achieved are displayed with priority.

In the above, embodiments have been described in which the electronic device 110 determines the list of items included in the purchase proposal information and their display order. However, the entity that determines the list of items included in the purchase proposal information and their display order is the electronic device. It is not limited to (110), and for example, the user device 120, which has received a rule for determining the list and display order of items from the electronic device 110, determines the list of items and their display order according to the rule. Various embodiments may exist, such as generating a display screen.

Referring further to FIG. 4, an example of information guiding the first discount benefit is shown (400). Information guiding the first discount benefit includes information about the conditions for applying the first discount benefit, and an example of the information about the conditions may include phrases such as “5,000 won discount for purchases of 50,000 won or more.” There is (401).

Information guiding the first discount benefit according to one embodiment may include a user interface that visually displays how close the user is to achieving the conditions for applying the first discount benefit (402). The user interface may be displayed based on the result of comparing threshold information for achieving the conditions for applying the first discount benefit and numerical information corresponding to the user's activity (for example, information on the amount of the item purchased by the user). . For example, the user interface may display, in the form of a gauge bar, the proportion of numerical information corresponding to the user's activity based on the threshold for achieving the conditions for applying the first discount benefit.

The information guiding the first discount benefit includes proposal information for achieving the condition, and the proposal information according to one embodiment may include purchase proposal information for at least some of the plurality of items (410). The purchase suggestion information may include information such as an item image, item name, item price, and item rating for each one or more items, but is not limited thereto. For example, purchase suggestion information may include phrases such as “Company A essence sunscreen” and “membership price 29,900 won” along with an item image (411).

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may receive a user input corresponding to the second item included in the purchase proposal information. In relation to this, purchase proposal information according to one embodiment may include a user interface for receiving selection input for each item (412). The user interface for receiving selection input may be displayed, for example, in the form of a check box, but is not limited thereto. The user may purchase one or more items together with the first item or place one or more items in a shopping cart by providing a selection input to one or more user interfaces. Relatedly, in order to reduce accidents caused by incorrect input by the user, the item may be purchased or placed in the shopping cart by additionally receiving the final decision input after the user's selection input. In this case, the user may be able to receive the final decision input. The interface displays phrases such as “Add

In addition, the electronic device 110 according to one embodiment may receive a user input corresponding to the second item and provide a page containing detailed information related to the second item. In relation to this, the electronic device 110 may provide a page containing detailed information related to the item when receiving user input for the remaining portion (eg, item image, etc.) excluding the check box for each item. Alternatively, the purchase proposal information may further include a user interface including phrases such as “Read more,” and detailed information about one or more items may be provided when there is a user input to the user interface (404).

Returning to the description of drawing number 203, according to one embodiment, there may be multiple benefits associated with the purchase of the first item. In this case, the electronic device 110 may determine the benefit with the easiest to achieve conditions for application among the plurality of discount benefits as the first discount benefit. For example, there is a 5,000 won discount when the total purchase amount reaches 50,000 won, a 10,000 won discount when the total purchase amount reaches 100,000 won, and a 20,000 won discount when the total purchase amount reaches 150,000 won. In this case, the electronic device 110 may determine a 5,000 won discount upon reaching 50,000 won as the first discount benefit.

However, this is an example, and the electronic device 110 may determine two or more of the plurality of discount benefits as the first discount benefit, or may determine all of the plurality of discount benefits as the first discount benefit. In this case, the information guiding the first discount benefit may include condition information and proposal information related to a plurality of benefits. In relation to this, further referring to FIG. 5 , an example is shown in which a plurality of user interfaces are displayed to visually display how close the conditions for applying the first discount benefit are to being achieved. Drawing number 501 corresponds to the user interface displayed in relation to benefits provided when the total purchase amount is KRW 50,000 or more, and drawing number 502 corresponds to the user interface displayed in relation to benefits provided when the total purchase amount is KRW 100,000 or more. In addition, drawing number 503 may correspond to a user interface displayed in relation to benefits provided when the total purchase amount is 150,000 won or more.

Depending on the embodiment, the electronic device 110 displays only one user interface at a time that visually displays how close the user is to achieving the conditions for applying the benefit, but displays the user interface according to the degree to which the user has achieved the conditions. can also be determined flexibly. For example, the electronic device 110 may provide a user interface that visually displays how close the user is to achieving the conditions for application for the benefit for which the conditions for application are most easily achieved among the benefits for which the user has not yet achieved the conditions. It can be displayed. For example, with respect to the example of Figure 5, if the user's total purchase amount is 30,000 won, the user interface of drawing number 501 is displayed, and if the user's total purchase amount is 80,000 won, the user interface of drawing number 502 is displayed, If the user's total purchase amount is 120,000 won, the user interface of drawing number 503 may be displayed.

In addition, the electronic device 110 determines, in principle, as the first discount benefit the benefit with the easiest to achieve conditions for application among a plurality of discount benefits, but in cases where quantitative comparison of the conditions is difficult (e.g., purchase of a certain amount or more (benefits conditional on and benefits conditional on purchasing a certain number of items or more), multiple benefits are determined as the first discount benefit, or among multiple discount benefits, the benefit with the easiest conditions to apply is the first discount benefit. In principle, the first discount benefit can be determined based on various embodiments, such as determining multiple benefits as the first discount benefit only in cases where overlapping applicable benefits exist.
