As an example, when the price of the item as a gift item exceeds 50,000 won, the server device 100 may not provide settings to the user so that the recipient can choose to receive points to redeem as a gift item based on an input by the recipient. a function of an item.

For example, when the user inputs second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive the item as a gift item or receive points to redeem the item, the user can be restricted to one of the payment options for paying for the item as a gift item. . Receiving points to redeem an item as a gift item may mean issuing a gift certificate to the recipient in an amount corresponding to the points. Therefore, receiving points to redeem an item as a gift item may mean partially limiting the user's payment options as in the case of issuing a gift certificate to the recipient.

As an example, in a situation where the user wants to pay for the item without having to enter the second information into the second area so that the recipient receives the item as a gift item, the user may use various payment options, such as 1) Borrow Corresponding to goods in a mobile phone payment Pay for the item by making a payment of one of the amount of the item, 2) Pay for the item by making a payment of the amount corresponding to the item in a credit card payment, 3) By paying for a discount coupon held by the user through the application Make a payment to pay for the item from the amount corresponding to the item minus a discount amount and the remaining amount, 4) Pay with a discount amount by first paying the amount corresponding to the item and receiving a specific amount in the form of a repayment items, or similar. However, in situations where the user enters second information into the second area such that the recipient chooses to receive the item as a gift item or to receive points to redeem the item, the user's payment options may be partially limited. For example, mobile phone payments may be restricted or credit card payments may be restricted based on a company's policy on which credit card the user wants to use for payment. As a specific example, depending on the settings of the server device 100, even if the user inputs the second information into the second area, the user can still make a mobile phone payment. In this case, the user can perform the same procedure as a general mobile phone payment procedure for the item. When the payment procedure cannot be performed due to a data connection failure through the mobile phone, the server device 100 may provide guidance information to the user to allow the user to select a payment option again. Alternatively, depending on the settings of the server device 100, when the user enters the second information into the second area, mobile phone payments may be restricted regardless of the characteristics of the item as a gift item or a price of the item. In this case, even if the user enters an input to continue payment, the server device 100 may still provide guidance information to the user to allow the user to select the payment option again.

For example, in the case where the user inputs second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive an item as a gift object or receive points to redeem the item, the amount of points that the recipient can receive can be determined as The amount actually paid by the user. That is, when the user has paid for the item without any special discount in the payment procedure for the item as a gift item, the amount of points that the recipient can receive in exchange for the item may be determined to be the same as the price of the item. At the same time, when the user is already in the payment process for an item as a gift object When paying for an item at a discounted price by applying a discount coupon, the amount of points the recipient can receive to redeem the item may be determined to be the same as the discounted price.

For example, when the user has paid for an item as a gift item through the payment information page provided in operation 305, the server device 100 may perform an operation of providing information or a page associated with acceptance of the item gift to the recipient.

In the case where the user enters second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive the item as a gift item or to receive points to redeem the item, the recipient can include information associated with acceptance of the item as a gift. On the page, you can choose to receive the items directly or receive points available in the service associated with the server device 100 to redeem the items. That is, in the case where the user inputs the second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive the item as a gift item or receive points to redeem the item, the server device 100 can provide an input area to the recipient. , the recipient can choose to receive the item directly or receive points available in the service associated with the server device 100 to redeem the item on this input area. The input field may be included on a page that provides information related to the acceptance of the gift item. Additionally, providing information related to the acceptance of the gift item may include providing a message to the recipient with link information to a page into which information related to the acceptance of the gift item may be entered.

For example, in a situation where the user inputs second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive an item as a gift object or receive points to redeem the item, when the recipient responds to the input of the second information by selecting to receive When receiving an item, delivery information about the item may be provided to at least one of the user or the recipient. That is, when the recipient chooses to receive the item, the item is set to be delivered to the recipient. Thus, delivery information can be provided to a user sending an item as a gift item or to a recipient who will receive the item.

For example, in which the user inputs the second information into the second area, so that the In the case where the recipient can choose to receive the item as a gift object or to receive points to redeem the item, when the recipient responds to the input of the second information and chooses to receive the points to redeem the item, the user may be provided with instructions indicating that the recipient chooses to receive the points. To exchange information for items. That is, when a recipient chooses to receive points to redeem for items, information indicating this fact may be provided to the user.

For example, in a situation where the user inputs second information into the second area so that the recipient can choose to receive an item as a gift object or receive points to redeem the item, when the recipient responds to the input of the second information by selecting to receive When points are redeemed for items, the recipient can further be provided with purchase recommendation information related to items corresponding to the amount of points. When a product selection list of the recipient (such as a purchase plan list or a list of items of interest) includes some items and the product selection list includes at least one item in a price range equivalent to an amount of points, the server The device 100 may provide information to the recipient that may add points received to redeem the item to purchase the at least one item. Alternatively, when the recipient's product selection list includes some items and the product selection list includes at least one item in a price range lower than the amount of points, the server device 100 may provide guidance to the recipient. Information that the at least one item may be purchased with points received to redeem the item.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , in the management of item gift information, the server device 100 can perform a process of providing the user with the information needed to select a gift package when a gift package option is provided through the payment information page. One operation.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of an operating method of the server device 100 for managing information according to various exemplary embodiments.

According to various exemplary embodiments, in operation 501, the server device 100 may view information about an item in response to the user's first input information.

For example, an object corresponding to the information viewed by the server device 100 in operation 501 The item may be a gift item that the user wants to give to a recipient.

For example, the user's first input information for viewing information about an item may include an information input for searching for the item and an information input for viewing the item details page of the item. That is, in order to send the item as a gift, the user can search for the item by a name of the item, a keyword related to the item, or the like, and access the item details page of the item to obtain information about the item.

According to various exemplary embodiments, in operation 503, in response to the user's second input information that the found item is given to the recipient as a gift, the server device 100 may check whether the item is gifted based on the characteristic information of the item. Available and depending on whether the gift of the item is available, check whether gift packaging of the item is supported.

For example, the second input information of the user giving the item as a gift to the recipient may be information obtained from the user by the server device 100 through the item details page provided in response to the user's first input information. Checking whether the gift of the item is available based on the characteristic information of the item may be performed based on the second input information.

Specifically, the item details page accessed by the user to view the item may contain gift icon information to be used when the user gives the item as a gift to a recipient. The second input information may include input information corresponding to the bonus icon information.

Alternatively, specifically, the item details page that the user accesses to view the item may contain purchase icon information to be used when the user purchases the item directly. The second input information may include one or more input information required to give the item as a gift by purchasing the icon information. In this case, the server device 100 may provide an order information viewing area to be used when purchasing the item in response to the input information input by the user on the purchase icon information. In this case, the order information viewing area may include input that the user can enter to send the item as a gift. Out of one of the gift settings area rather than purchase information. The server device 100 may respond to the input information input by the user in the gift setting area to check whether the gift of the item is available based on the characteristic information of the item. The user can first make an input to purchase the item on the item details page, receive the order information viewing area for purchasing the item from the server device 100, and further input the item to be sent as a gift in the order information viewing area. And then, the item gift information is received from the server device 100 .

For example, only when gifting of items is available, it can be checked by the server device 100 whether gift wrapping is provided as a service. Whether gift wrapping of an item that can be configured as a gift is provided as a service and gift wrapping options may be set differently depending on the item's property information.

According to various example embodiments, in operation 505, in the case where gifting of the viewed item is available and gift wrapping is supported, the server device 100 may provide a payment information page that includes input of a third item about the recipient. A first field of information and a second field of input of second information for selecting gift packaging for the viewed item.

For example, a first area for entering first information about the recipient may be for the user to enter viewing information about the recipient to whom the user wants to send the item as a gift, a message to be forwarded to the recipient, or the like. area. The view information about the recipient may be information (such as name, contact information, or the like) that can be used to designate the recipient of the item as a gift item.

For example, a second area for entering second information may include information regarding the cost of gift wrapping. When the cost of gift wrapping is not incurred by applying a free promotion or the like, the information about the cost of gift wrapping can be removed from the second area and the information about the free promotion can be included in the second area.

For example, the second area may contain button information for providing guidance information regarding gift wrapping. When obtaining information corresponding to the button information input by the user, the server device 100 may perform an operation of providing a guidance page including the above guidance information based on the input information.

For example, when second information is input into the second area, the second area may be provided to include an additional area for inputting an option corresponding to one or more gift wrapping options corresponding to a configuration of items to be packaged as a gift. . As an example, when the user inputs the second information into the second area, one or more gift packaging options that can be set for the item as a gift object may be further provided in the form of a table on the second area. The table listing one or more gift wrapping options may be provided in a portion of the second area.
