The present application proposes an ordering method, by obtaining a menu setting condition set by a user, and determining whether to listen to a à la carte triggering event initiated by the user; when the à la carte triggering event initiated by the user is monitored And selecting, from the preset menu database, a preset number of dishes that match the dish screening condition, and outputting the preset number of dishes to the user through the ordering interface for the user to select.

Because during the ordering process, the screening of the dishes is set by the a la carte client based on the user. The menu selection condition is automatically completed, and the user only needs to trigger the event by triggering the ordering, triggering the ordering client to output the filtered dishes, so that the ordering can be completed quickly, thereby reducing the complexity of the user's use of the a la carte client. Degree, shorten the length of the order.

The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and specific application scenarios.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a method for ordering food according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a terminal, and performs the following steps:

Step 101: Obtain a menu selection condition set by a user;

Step 102: Determine whether an order trigger event initiated by the user is monitored;

Step 103: When the à la carte triggering event initiated by the user is monitored, a preset number of dishes matching the dish screening condition are filtered out from the preset menu database;

Step 104: Output the preset number of dishes to the user through an ordering interface for the user to select.

The above terminal may include a mobile intelligent terminal and a PC terminal; for example, the terminal may be a user's smartphone or a notebook computer.

The technical solution described in the above steps 101 to 104 can be understood as the ordering logic loaded in the ordering client installed on the terminal, and the ordering client can run the ordering logic after the user initiates the ordering trigger event. The menu is filtered based on the user-set menu conditions for the user to filter the dishes from the menu database and output, so that the user can quickly complete the order.

The dish selection condition may be used for pre-set or set in real time.

The a la carte client may include a client software provided by the catering merchant with a la carte function; for example, the a la carte client may be an a la carte app, a takeaway app, a group purchase app or other app with an a la carte function.

The a la carte triggering event may include an event initiated by the user for triggering the ordering client to filter the menu for the user based on the menu setting condition set by the user; for example, the a la carte triggering event may include a trigger for the client for triggering The client selects a trigger event of the user option of the menu based on the menu setting condition set by the user, such as a click event corresponding to the user's click operation. For another example, the a la carte triggering event may also include a triggering event for the terminal, such as a shaking event corresponding to a shaking operation of the user. The point above The dish trigger event may be a user triggering a corresponding a la carte button, or a shaking operation event on the mobile phone.

In this example, the above-mentioned ordering client can provide a preset function option for quickly entering the ordering function interface in the user interface, for example, the function option can be a "one button a la carte" function button.

The user can activate the function option, such as a click operation, to trigger the function interface of the a la carte client to open the one-click a la carte. After entering the interface, the above steps 101-104 can be implemented according to the operation of the user, and the interface is In the above-mentioned ordering interface, the user can operate on the ordering interface, and the client can implement the above steps 101-104 based on the user's operation.

The following will be explained based on the specific process of implementing ordering on the ordering client.

The above-mentioned ordering interface can provide the user with the function of screening the dishes. Specifically, it can be a screening button that enters the setting interface of the dish, or it can be a single interface. When setting the menu screening condition, the user may select the dish selection condition by selecting the dish selection condition in the menu selection condition provided in the setting interface, or manually input the dish selection condition in the setting interface to set the dish selection condition.

In one embodiment, in the above setting interface, a plurality of dish screening conditions can be provided for the user to select, wherein the dish screening condition can be set according to the actual requirements of the user for the dish.

For example, in practical applications, the dish screening conditions may include dish taste, dish classification, catering business and user distance, food availability, food delivery speed, dish sales, dish score, dish evaluation, and people around. Point and other information.

When the user orders the food, according to the actual requirements of the food, the corresponding dish screening condition can be selected in the ordering interface to set the screening condition of the ordering; for example, the ordering client can be in the setting interface. The screening conditions of the provided foods respectively provide a corresponding check box. In the process of ordering the food, the user can perform the operation in the check box, and directly select the corresponding food screening conditions to set the menu screening of the order. condition.

Among them, the user can select one in the setting interface, and can also select multiple menu screening conditions. When the user selects the corresponding dish screening condition in the above setting interface, the orderer The client can obtain the menu selection conditions selected by the user in the background and save it locally.

In another embodiment shown, the user may manually enter the dish selection condition in the setting interface when setting the menu screening condition.

For example, in the above setting interface, a text box for inputting the screening condition of the food can be provided. When the user orders the food, the user can customize the input screening condition according to the actual requirements of the food. After the user inputs the corresponding dish screening condition in the above setting interface, the ordering client can obtain the menu screening condition input by the user in the background and save it locally.

In this example, after the user selects the menu selection condition in the setting interface, the user can trigger the event by the user to trigger the event, and trigger the client to quickly select the dish based on the menu selection condition selected by the user.

In one embodiment shown, the a la carte triggering event can be a à la carte button set on the client, and the user can click on the à la carte button as the ordering trigger event. For example, in implementation, the a la carte triggering event may be an a la carte button of "start a la carte" provided in the ordering interface.

After the user sets the corresponding dish screening condition in the ordering interface, the click order button can be triggered to trigger the ordering client to quickly filter the dish based on the menu selection condition selected by the user, and provide the user with the menu.

In another embodiment, the a la carte triggering event may also be a triggering event for the terminal where the client is located, by detecting a specific action of the terminal as a lazy triggering event, for example, when implemented, when the user is After setting the corresponding dish screening condition in the setting interface, the user can also trigger the ordering client to quickly select the dish based on the menu selection condition selected by the user by shaking the terminal of the above-mentioned ordering client.

The ordering client can monitor the user's shaking event for the terminal in the background in real time. When the ordering client listens to the user's shaking event for the terminal, the client listens to the user-initiated ordering trigger event, and can immediately according to the user. Set the menu screening conditions to quickly filter dishes. Of course, in practical applications, the above specific operations may also include other types of operations than shaking operations.

In this example, when the food ordering client selects the dishes for the user, the food screening condition selected by the user in the ordering interface can be used as a query index and the query is performed in the preset food database.

The dish database can be set locally or on a remote server that provides services to the ordering client. When the menu database is set locally, the ordering client can filter the dishes directly for the user in the local menu database. When the menu database is set on the server, the ordering client can perform the filtering by interacting with the server, remotely accessing the menu database on the server, or transmitting the menu selection condition selected by the user to the server.

In the above-mentioned dish database, a certain number of dish samples can be pre-stored, and each of the dish samples can be set with multiple filter attributes. The filter attribute can correspond to the filter condition selected by the user in the ordering interface.

When the ordering client selects the menu selection condition selected by the user in the ordering interface as the query index, when searching the menu in the menu database, it can traverse all the sample samples in the database, if the screening attribute of any sample sample is selected by the user. When the dish screening attribute is completely matched, the dish can be considered to meet the user's needs. At this time, the ordering client can filter the dish and output to the user through the above display interface provided by the ordering interface.

When the à la carte client selects the dishes for the user in the menu database, in order to complete the screening as soon as possible, the number of the dishes can be set in advance, so that when the selected dishes reach a preset amount, the screening can be stopped. And the selected dishes are output to the user through the above display interface provided by the a la carte interface, so as to complete the screening quickly.

For example, suppose the number of preset screening dishes is four, and when the dishes selected by the ordering client reach four, the screening can be stopped, and the selected four dishes are output to the user through the display interface.

In this example, when the ordering client outputs the filtered dishes to the user through the above display interface, the user can directly select the corresponding dish in the outputted dishes, and then place an order. In the process of user selection, the ordering client can obtain the menu selected by the user in the background and save it locally.

Among them, the ordering client can obtain the dish selected by the user when it is saved locally. The user information reserved by the user or the login information of the user is then saved locally after establishing the correspondence between the menu selected by the user in the ordering interface and the obtained user information or login information.

For example, the above-mentioned ordering interface can provide an input box for the user to reserve user information, and the user can reserve his own user information such as a mobile phone number in the process of ordering, and the above-mentioned ordering interface can acquire the user in the background. The reserved user information is then saved after the user selects the dish, and the correspondence between the user information reserved by the user and the menu selected by the user is saved.

For example, if the user uses the above-mentioned ordering client to order the food, he has already logged in to the client using his own login account. When the user selects the dish in the ordering interface, the ordering client can be in the background or Interact with the corresponding login server to obtain the login information of the user, and then save the correspondence between the login information of the user and the menu selected by the user.

In this way, the ordering client can save the information reserved by the user or the correspondence between the login information of the user and the menu selected by the user in the background by default in the process of the user's ordering, and then can be locally based on the local The saved correspondence relationship analyzes the basic preference of the user for the dish, and the dish with the most user selection times is recommended to the user in advance in the ordering interface.

Of course, in practical applications, the ordering client can save the correspondence between the user-selected menu and the user information reserved by the user or the user's login information, and can also retain the user's order setting. The screening condition of the dish is set, and the correspondence between the menu setting condition set by the user and the user information or the login information reserved by the user is established, so that the user can set the dish screening condition of the last time as the default when the user orders the next time. The food screening condition, or the food screening condition set by the user last time is preferentially output to the user in the setting interface.

In this example, the above-mentioned ordering interface may further provide a second user option for triggering the order. For example, the second user option may be an “I want to place an order” user button provided in the ordering interface. .

When the user selects a satisfactory dish from the dishes output in the ordering interface, he can pass The user option, such as a click operation, is triggered to trigger the ordering client to quickly place an order based on the menu selected by the user.

At the same time, the ordering client can monitor the user's trigger event for the user button in the background (such as a click event corresponding to the click operation), when the ordering client monitors the user's trigger event for the user button, this When the ordering client listens to the user-initiated ordering event, the ordering operation can be immediately performed based on the menu selected by the user.

It can be seen that in this way, the user only needs to set the dish screening condition in the ordering interface in the process of ordering, and then can quickly by clicking the above-mentioned “start ordering” button in the menu interface, or shaking the terminal. Finishing the order, which reduces the complexity of the a la carte operation and helps to shorten the length of the order.

In this example, on the one hand, if the user is not satisfied with the dishes selected and output by the ordering client, at this time, the selection may not be made, or some dishes may be selected, and the above process may be repeated by clicking the above “starting to order”. The user button, or shaking the terminal, triggers the ordering client to re-screen the dish based on the menu selection condition selected by the user until the user selects a satisfactory dish, and the menu selected by the user can be retained as the user places the order. Dishes.

On the other hand, if the user is not satisfied with the menu selected and output by the ordering client, the menu setting condition can be reset by the above setting interface provided in the ordering interface, and the ordering event can be re-triggered to realize the reselection. The dishes are available to the user for selection. In this way, the user can re-set the dish screening condition, so that the ordering client can re-screen the user for new dishes to meet the various needs of the user.

For example, in an implementation manner, the menu selection condition may be re-selected in the setting interface, and a user button of “reselecting” may be provided. When the user wishes to reselect the menu selection condition, the user button may be operated. For example, click the action to trigger the client to clear the menu selection condition that the user has selected in the setting interface, and then re-select.

In another implementation manner, a “reset” user button may be provided in the setting interface, and when the user wishes to re-enter the menu screening condition in the input box, the customer may be triggered by operating the user button. The input filter box of the input interface of the setting interface has been cleared by the user, and then the user can re-enter the dish in the input box. Product screening conditions.

Of course, if the user selects the dish in the menu selected and output by the ordering client and completes the order, if the user needs other dishes, the user can reset the menu screening condition and repeat the above process to trigger The ordering client rescreens the dishes based on the menu settings set by the user until the user selects a satisfactory dish.

Among them, it is worth noting that when the ordering client re-screens the dishes for the user, it can record the dishes that are filtered and output each time. When it is necessary to re-screen the dishes for the user, the recorded dishes can be excluded to avoid duplication. Filter out the same dishes.

In the above embodiment, the user selects the dish screening condition set by the user, and determines whether the ordering trigger event initiated by the user is monitored; when the ordering trigger event initiated by the user is monitored, A preset number of dishes matching the dish screening condition are filtered out in the set menu, and the preset number of dishes are output to the user through the ordering interface for the user to select.
