That is, when the server device 100 has provided the user with delivery completion information including information indicating that each delivery offer included in the first delivery offer information is applied to delivery, the user performs an input corresponding to the information indicating that each delivery offer is applied. In this case, if the delivery offer applied to the first order includes a offer related to the delivery time/date, the server device 100 can provide the following information, that is, the delivery offer obtained by the user joining the membership is related to the delivery offer. Information on the average delivery time savings compared to other users who have not joined the membership.

For example, based on the first average delivery time confirmed for multiple users who have joined the membership and the second average delivery time confirmed for other users who have not joined the membership, the average delivery time saved by other users who have not joined the membership can be obtained. Specifically, the delivery time saved can be obtained by subtracting the first average delivery time from the second average delivery time.

At this time, the above-mentioned multiple users who have joined the service and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the service can be equivalent to being classified as users who have address information in the same or similar region as the user. That is, when calculating the average delivery saving time, the user who can be considered can be the following users: except for the difference in delivery time caused by whether or not to join the membership because the delivery address information is located in the same or similar region or area as the user, it can be judged that there will be no significant difference in delivery time. As an example, the above-mentioned multiple users who have joined the service and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the service can include users who set the address information included in the region information, and the region information is to distinguish the first address information set by the user for the delivery of the first item.

In the process of calculating the average delivery time of the above-mentioned multiple users who have joined the service and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the service, the server device 100 can also obtain information on the time required for delivery from the distribution center that delivers items to each user.

In particular, when calculating the average delivery saving time corresponding to whether to join the membership, if the user to be considered is a user who sets the address information included in the regional information corresponding to the user's delivery address information, the server device 100 can The time required to obtain the delivery of the above-mentioned users from each distribution center located in the geographical information. That is, the server device 100 can confirm more than one distribution center corresponding to the regional information, and obtain information on the delivery time required to process multiple orders from the confirmed more than one distribution center. The plurality of orders are from joining the membership. The above-mentioned plurality of users who are qualified and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the membership will obtain it. Based on the information obtained as described above, the server device 100 can calculate the first average delivery time confirmed for the plurality of users who have joined the membership and the second average delivery time confirmed for the other users who have not joined the membership. obtain.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the operation method of the server device 100 of various embodiments to obtain the average delivery time saved by joining the membership.

In FIG. 4 , the server device 100 can obtain the delivery area division information including the first address information of the user set on the service (401). The delivery area division information as described above may be the following area information: in order to deliver items on the service, each area is distinguished based on a fixed basis or area.

The server device 100 can target the user who sets the address information included in the obtained delivery area classification information, confirm the user who has joined the membership and the user who has not joined the membership (403), and can further confirm the correspondence with the delivery area classification information. More than one distribution center (405).

Thereafter, the server device 100 can obtain information from more than one distribution center on the delivery time required to process multiple orders obtained from users who have joined the membership and users who have not joined the membership (407), and can based on this information Obtain the first average delivery time for users who are members and the second average delivery time for users who are not members (409). The server device 100 that obtains the first average delivery time and the second average delivery time can calculate the delivery savings time corresponding to membership membership by subtracting the first average delivery time from the second average delivery time (411).

As shown in FIG. 4 , the server device 100 targets users who set the same or similar regional information as the user or address information included in the delivery area division information to obtain the delivery saving time. Qualified users can set different priorities to determine the distribution center for outgoing items. This can also ensure fast delivery for users who have joined the membership and maximize the effect of saving delivery time.

Specifically, targeting users who have signed up for membership, one or more distribution centers corresponding to fixed regional information or delivery area division information can be determined based on the address information of each user who has signed up for membership. A distribution center that dispatches items ordered by each membership user in order of priority. That is, it is important to deliver products more quickly to users who have signed up for membership, so you can confirm the delivery to each user who has signed up for membership in the distribution center where the item inventory is confirmed in one or more of the above distribution centers. A distribution center that ships items out of the warehouse based on addresses in order from nearest to farthest.

For example, if a user who has joined the membership among users who have set the address information included in the fixed geographical information or the delivery regional division information orders an item on the service, then among the one or more distribution centers corresponding to the above-mentioned fixed geographical information or the delivery regional division information, the distribution center closest to the address information of each user who has joined the membership can be determined as the distribution center that ships the item. In order to realize the above-mentioned action, the server device 100 can confirm the distance between each distribution center included in one or more distribution centers corresponding to the address information of each of the users and the above-mentioned fixed geographical information or the delivery regional division information for the user who has set the address information included in the fixed geographical information or the delivery regional division information and has joined the membership, and the one or more distribution centers correspond to the address information of each of the users and the above-mentioned fixed geographical information or the delivery regional division information.

Targeting users who have not joined the membership, the server device 100 can determine the address information of each user who has not joined the membership in one or more distribution centers corresponding to fixed regional information or delivery area division information. A distribution center that ships items out of the warehouse in order of priority from most to least inventory of items ordered by each user who has not joined the membership. That is, the importance of quick delivery to users who have not joined the membership is relatively low. Therefore, the server device 100 selects a distribution center with sufficient inventory of items rather than a distribution center that can quickly deliver, thereby seeking various benefits. Distribution centers manage item inventory efficiently. Therefore, the server device 100 can determine, in one or more distribution centers corresponding to the fixed area information or distribution area division information, based on the order of inventory of items ordered by each user who has not joined the membership, in descending order. A distribution center that moves items out of warehouses.

For example, if a user who has not joined the membership and has set the address information included in the fixed regional information or the delivery regional division information orders an item on the service, the distribution center with the largest inventory of the item among the one or more distribution centers corresponding to the above-mentioned fixed regional information or the delivery regional division information can be determined as the distribution center that will ship the item. In order to realize the above-mentioned operation, the server device 100 can confirm the inventory of each item kept in one or more distribution centers corresponding to the above-mentioned fixed regional information or the delivery regional division information for each item ordered by the user who has set the address information included in the fixed regional information or the delivery regional division information and has not joined the membership.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned multiple users who have joined the membership on the service and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the membership may be equivalent to users who ordered items included in the item category corresponding to the items ordered by the user through the first order. In addition to calculating the average delivery saving time for users who are determined to have similar or identical geographical information to the user as described above, the server device 100 can also calculate the average delivery saving time for users who order items included in the item category such as the items ordered by the user. As an example, the above-mentioned multiple users who have joined the membership on the service and the above-mentioned other users who have not joined the membership may include users who order the same or similar items, and the same or similar items belong to the item category including the items purchased by the user through the first order.

In addition, when the server device 100 confirms the plurality of users who have joined the service to obtain the delivery time saving and the other users who have not joined the service, the regional information of the users and the item categories including the items ordered by the users may also be considered. That is, when calculating the average delivery time saving, the users who are considered may be users whose regional information is similar or the same as the user and who order items belonging to the item categories including the items ordered by the user.

For example, even if a delivery discount can be applied to the first order of the user, when the items included in the first order are delivered together with other items included in other orders of the user, the provision of information indicating the application of each delivery discount or the average delivery time saved by joining the membership can be omitted. That is, when the items included in the first order are delivered together with other items included in other orders of the user, additional time is required to deliver the items included in the first order together with the above-mentioned other items, or there is a need to match the delivery schedule of the items included in the first order with the delivery schedule of the above-mentioned other items. Therefore, unlike when only the items included in the first order are delivered, the provision of information indicating the application of each delivery discount or the average delivery time saved by joining the membership can be omitted. For example, in a situation where the items included in the user's first order are delivered to the user together with other items included in the user's other orders, in the delivery completion information provided to the user upon completion of the delivery of the items included in the first order and other items included in the user's other orders, information indicating the application of various delivery benefits to delivery or information on the average delivery time saved by becoming a member may be omitted.

For example, when the delivery of items is completed, the delivery completion information provided to the user by the server device 100 may include: information about the items included in the user's first order; information about the time when the delivery of the items included in the first order to the first address information of the above-mentioned user is completed; and/or image information confirming that the items included in the first order have been delivered to the user's address information.

For example, when the user joins the membership, the information of more than one offer confirmed by the server device 100 in action 305 may include the second offer information of the return offer, and the return offer is applied to the first order based on the membership. Return of item 1 included. The second discount information as mentioned above may include the following various return discounts: a return discount in which the items included in the user's first order can be returned within the same day of application for return; and/or items included in the first order can be returned free of charge Return discounts on returns.
