FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method of operating the server device 100 for providing item information according to various embodiments.

According to FIG. 3, the server device 100 provides information about the item, and in order to perform an operation of providing information about the item, it checks inventory information of the item corresponding to the keyword obtained from the user (301). , if the item is confirmed to be sold out based on inventory information, the item's stock information is checked (303), and if the item is confirmed to be stocked within a certain period of time based on the stock information, the item is scheduled to be stocked in order Information about the item including first information indicating that delivery is possible may be provided (305).

According to FIG. 3, the operation of the server device 100 obtaining a keyword from the user and providing information about the item may be performed for a service provided by the server device 100 or a service related to the server device 100, The service may correspond to a service that allows multiple users using the service to order and purchase multiple items sold through the service. The plurality of items sold in the service are not limited to the type or type of the item and may include various types or types of items registered by the seller to sell the item.

According to various embodiments, in operation 301, the server device 100 may check inventory information of an item corresponding to a keyword obtained from the user.

For example, the server device 100 may receive or obtain a keyword input by the user through the user device 200. That is, the user device 200 may obtain a keyword related to an item from the user and transmit it to the server device 100.

For example, the keyword acquired by the server device 100 from the user may be the name of the item related to the keyword, the brand of the item, the product group into which the item can be classified, or other text that can point to the item or the product product line. there is.

For example, the item inventory information checked by the server device 100 according to operation 301 may include information about whether the item is currently out of stock or whether the item remains in stock. If available, information on inventory quantities may also be included.

According to various embodiments, in operation 303, when the server device 100 determines that an item is sold out based on inventory information, the server device 100 may check stock information of the item.

For example, the item stocking information checked by the server device 100 according to operation 303 may include information about the item's scheduled stocking status. That is, information about the expected arrival date and/or quantity related to when and/or in what quantity the items sold in the service provided by the server device 100 will be received will be included in the item's receipt information. You can. As an example, the item's receipt information may include information about the expected quantity of the item to be received over a certain period of time or by a certain date from the current point in time.

For example, item stocking information is not limited to checking for out-of-stock items as in operation 303, and the server device 100 can be set to check at any time if the item is sold in the service.

For example, in the case where an item is sold out, if the server device 100 checks the item's stock information and confirms that the item will be stocked within a certain period of time from the current point, the server device 100 determines whether delivery for the current item will be made. Even if this is not possible, information indicating that sequential delivery is possible as soon as the item is received can be provided by including it in the information about the item. Conversely, in the case where an item is sold out, if the server device 100 checks the stock information of the item and confirms that the item will not be stocked within a certain period of time from the current point, the server device 100 provides information indicating that the item is sold out. can be provided by including it in the information about the item.

For example, operation 303 in which the server device 100 checks the stocking information of an item involves the server device 100 checking the characteristic information of the item and, based on the characteristic information, selecting the item as an item capable of sequential delivery. It checks whether the corresponding item corresponds, and only if the corresponding item corresponds to an item that can be delivered sequentially, an operation may be included to check the receipt information of the corresponding item when the corresponding item is sold out. That is, when an item is sold out, the operation of the server device 100 to check the stock information of the item may be an operation performed only for items with certain characteristics. For example, in the case of items corresponding to fresh food for which same-day delivery is desirable, it may be inappropriate to set the order to be available even though the item is out of stock. As another example, in the case of an item corresponding to an installation product that needs to be installed in a certain place or a place desired by the user, it may be inappropriate to ship the item immediately as it is received later without considering the characteristics related to the installation of the item. . Accordingly, the server device 100 determines whether the item is appropriate for sequential delivery in consideration of the characteristic information of the item, and then, when the item is determined to be suitable for sequential delivery, the server device 100 provides stock information when the item is sold out. You can set it to check.

If the server device 100 checks the characteristic information of the item and determines that the item does not correspond to an item that can be sequentially delivered, the server device 100 does not check the stock information of the item even if the item is sold out. In addition, information indicating that the item is sold out can be provided by including it in the information about the item.

For example, operation 303 in which the server device 100 checks stock information of an item is based on the fact that flag information related to instructing to check stock information for the item when the item is sold out is set for the item. It can be performed as: That is, the server device 100 may set flag information for the item instructing to check or not check the stock information of the item when the item is sold out, and the server device 100 to check the stock information of the item. Operation 303 may be performed based on the flag information set as above.

For example, when the flag information is set for an item, the server device 100 may perform an operation to check stock information of the item by considering whether the flag information is activated when the item is sold out. If the flag information is deactivated while the item is out of stock, the server device 100 may determine that the item has been instructed not to check stock information. In this case, the item is treated as sold out regardless of the future date of delivery or expected quantity, and information indicating that the item is sold out may be included and provided in the information about the item.

Conversely, if the flag information is activated while the item is out of stock, the server device 100 may determine that the item has been instructed to check stock information. In this case, stocking information including the future stocking date or expected stocking quantity for the item is confirmed, and if it is confirmed that the item will be stocked within a certain period of time according to the stocking information, the item cannot be delivered at the current time. Even so, information indicating that sequential delivery is possible as soon as the item is in stock can be included in the information about the item and provided together. Even if the flag information is activated, if it is not confirmed that the item will be in stock within a certain period of time according to the stock information, information indicating that the item is sold out may be included in the information about the item and provided together.

For example, the receipt information that the server device 100 confirms for an item in operation 303 may be information set based on receiving information related to the delivery of the item from a supplier delivering the item. . The server device 100 displays information informing that out-of-stock items can be sequentially delivered according to future stocking schedules. This should be done when it is certain that the item will be stocked within a certain period of time. Otherwise, it should be done when it is certain that the item will be stocked within a certain period. Even though service users are informed that sequential delivery of items is possible, a problem may arise where the delivery schedule of the item is pushed back further than the original sequential delivery schedule. Therefore, the server device 100 can receive information related to delivery from the supplier and set and confirm stocking information for the item based on this. At this time, the specific operation of the server device 100 setting the stocking information is shown in FIG. 4 It can be performed as follows.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an operation method by which the server device 100 sets stocking information of an item according to various embodiments.

First, the server device 100 may acquire delivery schedule information for the item from the confirmed delivery company for the item (401). Delivery schedule information acquired by the server device 100 includes information on the delivery company, information on the item to be delivered, scheduled delivery quantity, scheduled delivery time, scheduled delivery location, and/or delivery unit price, which are necessary to deliver or place an order. A variety of information may be included. Therefore, the server device 100 can check information about the expected quantity and scheduled time at which the item will be delivered based on the acquired delivery schedule information (403), and stocking information for the item based on the confirmed scheduled quantity and scheduled time. can be set (405).

The stocking information that the server device 100 sets as shown in FIG. 4 for items sold in the service is configured by converting external information received from an external supplier into internal information about items sold in the service. This may correspond to information set for easy management.

According to various embodiments, in operation 305, when it is confirmed that the item will be stocked within a certain period of time based on stock information, the server device 100 provides first information indicating that sequential delivery according to the stock schedule of the item is possible. Information about included items can be provided.

For example, a certain period of time for confirming that an item will be received may be a period in which the server device 100 determines that an appropriate expected delivery schedule can be secured when sequential delivery according to the stocking schedule is performed.

For example, if the receipt information for an out-of-stock item is confirmed and it is confirmed that the item will be in stock within a certain period of time, the first information indicating that sequential delivery according to the item's scheduled arrival is possible is used in the various implementations described above in operation 303. Depending on the examples, it may be included in information about the item.

For example, for out-of-stock items that have been confirmed to be available for sequential delivery, the first information indicating that sequential delivery is possible may be set to be displayed together when information about the item is displayed on various pages on the service, and the user may When you want to order the item, it can be set to inform you of the expected delivery date when the item will be delivered sequentially. For example, when a user inputs a keyword related to an item, the server device 100 provides a search result page containing information about the item, and if an out-of-stock item is available for sequential delivery according to the above-described embodiments. If it is confirmed that the item is included in the search result page, the information about the item may include first information indicating that sequential delivery of the item is possible. At this time, if the user inputs a touch or click to check information about the item on the search results page, the server device 100 provides an item detail page containing information about the item. In addition, information about the item included in the detail page may also include first information indicating that sequential delivery of the item is possible. In addition, when the user inputs a desire to order or purchase an item on the details page, the server device 100 provides first information indicating that sequential delivery of the item is possible and information on the expected delivery date for the item to be sequentially delivered. Information may also be provided.

For example, if the receipt information for an item that is out of stock is confirmed and the item is confirmed to be in stock within a certain period of time, the information about the item includes first information indicating that sequential delivery according to the item's scheduled arrival is possible. , the item can be set as an item for individual delivery. In other words, items that are confirmed to be available for sequential delivery even though they are currently out of stock are not shipped together with other items, and only items confirmed to be available for sequential delivery can be set to be delivered alone. Through this, the server device 100 can easily comply with and manage the expected delivery date for items confirmed to be capable of sequential delivery, regardless of the delivery of other items.

Additionally, in order to set up independent delivery for an item, the server device 100 creates a page containing a list of items selected by the user, such as a shopping cart or cart, to prevent items confirmed to be available for sequential delivery from being ordered together with other items. You can set the item to be unavailable for purchase or set it to only be available for purchase on the item's detail page. In other words, items for which the first information indicating that the item is confirmed to be in stock within a certain period of time according to the stock information and that sequential delivery is possible are set can be purchased through an item list page containing a list of items selected by the user, such as a shopping cart or cart. This cannot be done, and can be set to allow purchase only on the item's detail page.

To this end, if the information about the item includes the first information, the server device 100 can set, confirm and manage information including that the item corresponds to an item for individual delivery, and the item can be independently delivered. Based on the fact that it corresponds to an item, you can set, check and manage information including that the item can be purchased only on the detail page of the item.

If an item with the first information set is added to the list of items selected by the user, such as a shopping cart or cart, that is, when the user inputs an input to add the item with the first information set to the shopping cart or cart, the server device 100 The item list page can be set to provide information including that the item can only be purchased on the detail page, and information including that the item cannot be purchased through the item list page containing the item list selected by the user. there is.

For example, when a user orders an item for which first information indicating that sequential delivery is possible because it is confirmed that the item will be received within a certain period of time according to the stock information is set, the server device 100 provides order completion information corresponding to the order. will be processed. At this time, the order completion information processed in this way may include information that the order included in the order completion information corresponds to an order requesting sequential delivery of items, which allows the item to be delivered even in the item delivery stage after order completion. Items corresponding to items requested for sequential delivery can be continuously confirmed.

As an example, when order completion information including an order requesting sequential delivery of items is obtained, the server device 100 identifies a specific first logistics center capable of sequentially delivering items for the user in response to the order completion information. Delivery management information related to the delivery of items for which sequential delivery has been requested may be provided to the server 300 of the first distribution center. At this time, the delivery management information provided by the server device 100 may include information indicating that the item has been requested for sequential delivery and information on the user who ordered the item by requesting sequential delivery.

For example, an item for which the first information indicating that the item is confirmed to be received within a certain period of time according to the stock information and that sequential delivery is possible is set is an item that has not yet been secured in stock at the first logistics center even if the user orders it. , the server device 100 needs to manage the scheduled inventory status or scheduled logistics flow at the first logistics center for the corresponding item. Accordingly, the server device 100 assigns delivery for items requested for sequential delivery to the first logistics center based on a plurality of order completion information in which a plurality of users in the service order the item for which the first information is set. 1 Information on the first quantity of items waiting to be sequentially delivered to the distribution center can be obtained from the server 300 of the first distribution center. In addition, the server device 100 can check information about the first delivery quantity that the first distribution center will receive from the supplier of the item, and provide the first delivery quantity based on the obtained first quantity information and the confirmed first delivery quantity. 1 Logistics management information for the item can be determined so that the inventory status or logistics flow for the item can be managed at the logistics center.

Meanwhile, the server device 100 determines that the item will be received within a certain period of time according to the stocking information and for which the first information indicating that sequential delivery is possible is set, sequentially compares the quantity of the item to be stocked in a specific distribution center. If it is confirmed that the quantity of the item requested for delivery is large, the delivery company may set the delivery quantity to be adjustable at the stage of delivering the item to the specific logistics center.

That is, based on a plurality of order completion information in which a plurality of users in the service order an item for which the first information is set, the server device 100 can check the number of orders allocated to sequentially deliver the item from a specific distribution center. You can also check the quantity of items waiting for sequential delivery to a specific logistics center. At this time, the quantity of items waiting for sequential delivery to a specific distribution center is large considering the expected quantity of items to be delivered to the specific distribution center, so that the items from the specific distribution center will be delivered in the future. If it is determined that there will be insufficient inventory, the server device 100 may be set to deliver a portion of the scheduled quantity of the item to be delivered to another distribution center that is determined to have sufficient inventory of the item to be delivered to the specific distribution center.

For example, the server device 100 is connected to the first distribution center and the second distribution center and the second confirmed to be capable of sequentially delivering an item for which first information indicating that the item is confirmed to be delivered within a certain period of time according to the stocking information and that sequential delivery is possible is set. Regarding logistics centers, you can adjust the scheduled quantity of items to be delivered to each logistics center by checking and comparing the quantity of items waiting for sequential delivery to each logistics center and the expected quantity of items to be delivered to each logistics center. The operation may be performed as shown in FIG. 5 . Here, a logistics center that is confirmed to be capable of delivering items sequentially may mean a logistics center that can sequentially deliver items to the orderer in the future because the items are scheduled to be delivered to the corresponding logistics center.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an operation method by which the server device 100 adjusts the expected delivery quantity of an item to a distribution center according to various embodiments.

First, the server device 100 can check items that are out of stock but confirmed to be in stock within a certain period of time and can be sequentially delivered (501), and can check the first and second logistics centers that can sequentially deliver the confirmed items. (503).

The server device 100 provides first quantity information of items requested for sequential delivery to the first distribution center and sequential delivery to the second distribution center, based on a plurality of order completion information confirmed by multiple users ordering the items on the service. You can check the second quantity information of the item requested for delivery (505). Based on the confirmed first quantity information and second quantity information, the server device 100 determines the first delivery quantity of the item confirmed to be delivered by the first distribution center from the item supplier and the second distribution center of the item. The second delivery quantity of the item confirmed to be delivered from the delivery company can be adjusted (507).

At this time, the operation of the server device 100 to adjust the delivery quantity of each logistics center according to operation 507 is to select items that have been sequentially requested for delivery to a specific logistics center and are waiting, considering the quantity of items to be delivered to a specific logistics center. If the quantity is too large, part of the quantity scheduled to be delivered from another logistics center will be received, or if the quantity of items requested to be delivered to a specific logistics center is too small, considering the quantity of items to be delivered to a specific logistics center, This can be done in the form of delivering part of the scheduled delivery quantity to another logistics center.

For example, in FIG. 5, the server device 100 stores inventory for the corresponding item at the distribution center based on the ratio of the quantity information requested for sequential delivery to the distribution center and the scheduled delivery quantity confirmed to be delivered by the distribution center. It can be determined whether the planned status or planned logistics flow is properly managed, and an operation to adjust the scheduled delivery quantity with other logistics centers can be performed by considering the above ratio.

For example, in FIG. 5, when the ratio of the first scheduled delivery quantity confirmed to be delivered by the first distribution center to the first quantity information requested for sequential delivery to the first distribution center is less than a preset ratio, It may be determined that the inventory status of items at the first logistics center is not sufficient, and a portion of the scheduled delivery quantity from other logistics centers can be set to be delivered to the first logistics center. That is, in the above case, if the ratio of the second delivery quantity confirmed to be delivered by the second distribution center to the second quantity information requested for sequential delivery to the second distribution center is confirmed to be more than a preset ratio, the server device (100 ) determines that the expected inventory status of the item at the second distribution center is sufficient and ensures that at least some of the second delivery quantity can be delivered to the first distribution center, so that the first delivery quantity and the second delivery quantity can be delivered to the first distribution center. 2 The scheduled delivery quantity can be adjusted.

At this time, the server device 100 is configured so that the item supplier can deliver the item to the first distribution center and the second distribution center according to the adjusted delivery schedule, so that at least part of the quantity in the first delivery schedule is adjusted. First instruction information instructing to deliver the added quantity to the first distribution center and second instruction information instructing to deliver to the second distribution center the quantity in which at least part of the quantity is deducted from the second delivery scheduled quantity. It can be provided as a supplier. The delivery company can deliver the adjusted quantity of items to each distribution center according to the first and second instruction information provided.

The above operation in which the server device 100 instructs a delivery company to adjust the expected delivery quantity of an item for each distribution center may be expanded to be performed for multiple delivery companies and multiple distribution centers. Even if it is the same item sold in the service, multiple suppliers for the item can be identified, and each of the multiple suppliers delivers the quantity of items contracted for the service to the contracted logistics center. That is, the first supplier included among the plurality of suppliers delivering one item delivers the item to some of the logistics centers among all logistics centers linked to the service.

For items that are out of stock but confirmed to be in stock within a certain period of time and can be sequentially delivered, the server device 100 determines that the first supplier included in the plurality of suppliers delivering the item and the first supplier are You can check multiple logistics centers corresponding to the destination where the item is delivered. At this time, the server device 100 may group the plurality of distribution centers according to location in order to facilitate control of the scheduled delivery quantity between distribution centers, and accordingly, one or more distribution centers can be viewed as being located within a certain regional range. The plurality of logistics centers can be divided into logistics center groups including a logistics center. As an example, the plurality of distribution centers to which the first supplier delivers the item may include distribution center group A, which includes one or more distribution centers located in the region A, and group B, which includes one or more other distribution centers located in the region B. It can be divided into a logistics center group, a C logistics center group including one or more other logistics centers located in the C region range, etc., and can be divided into a plurality of regional ranges corresponding to the plurality of regional ranges distinguished by the server device 100. Distribution center groups can be identified.

At this time, one or more logistics centers included in one logistics center group are located within one regional range and will not be far from each other, so the first supplier targets one or more logistics centers included in one logistics center group. It may be easy to deliver by mutually adjusting the expected delivery quantity of the item. Therefore, the operation of the server device 100 to instruct the delivery company to adjust the expected delivery quantity of the item for each logistics center is performed by the server device 100 on one or more logistics included in a logistics center group classified according to the regional scope. It can be set to be performed targeting the center.

Specifically, the server device 100 compares the quantity of items waiting for sequential delivery to each logistics center for each logistics center included in one of the plurality of logistics center groups corresponding to the first supplier. The first supplier confirms the ratio of the scheduled delivery quantity confirmed to be delivered to each logistics center, and delivers a portion of the scheduled delivery quantity from the logistics center confirmed to have a high ratio to the logistics center confirmed to have a low ratio. Instructions may be given to the first supplier. As an example, the server device 100 that confirmed the ratio for a distribution center, b distribution center, and c distribution center included in the A distribution center group confirmed that the ratio was high in a distribution center, but b distribution center and c distribution center If the above ratio is confirmed to be low, the center may instruct the first supplier to change and deliver some of the quantities scheduled for delivery to logistics center a to logistics center b and logistics center c, respectively.

The server device 100 can perform the above operation for a plurality of suppliers delivering items, and through this, it is possible to easily adjust the quantity expected to be delivered and manage inventory of items to the logistics center while promoting the convenience of the suppliers. It can be handled.

On the other hand, when a specific logistics center does not receive items directly from a supplier, but receives items from another logistics center that receives items from a supplier and transports them to the specific logistics center, the server device 100 can promote smooth delivery management of items by providing delivery management information related to the delivery of items requested for sequential delivery provided to the server 300 of the specific distribution center to the other distribution centers.

For example, when the user's order completion information for an item that is out of stock or confirmed to be in stock within a certain period of time and can be sequentially delivered is confirmed, the first logistics center that can sequentially deliver the item to the user directly delivers the item from the supplier. It may correspond to a logistics center that receives the item indirectly through a third logistics center that receives the item from the supplier and transports it to the first logistics center, rather than a distribution center that receives the delivery. In this case, the server device 100 provides only the server 300 of the first distribution center with delivery management information including information indicating that the item has been requested for sequential delivery and information on the user who ordered the item by requesting sequential delivery. Alternatively, it can also be provided to the server 300 of the third logistics center that will deliver the items to the first logistics center.

Through the operation of the server device 100 as described above, smooth inventory management of items requested for sequential delivery can be promoted at the logistics center, and when necessary, the delivery or delivery route of items requested for sequential delivery can be changed to provide user information. You can also achieve faster delivery. As an example, when the server device 100 determines that it will take more than a certain amount of time for items to be delivered from a supplier to a third logistics center to be sequentially delivered to the user through the first logistics center, the third logistics center Instruction information instructing the center to ship the item directly to the user's address may be provided to the server 300 of the third distribution center.
