In the following description, various embodiments will be described on the premise that the server device 100 performs an information provision operation. According to various embodiments, a user device that receives information about information from the server device 100 ( 200) can output the received information.

According to FIG. 3, the server device 100 provides information about benefits related to membership, and in order to perform an operation to provide information about benefits related to membership, obtains the user's first order on the service (301) ), if the first order is obtained, whether the user has signed up for membership for the service (303), and if the user has signed up for membership, one or more items applied for the first order based on information about the membership Information about benefits may be confirmed (305), and information about one or more benefits may be provided based on the payment of the first order being processed (307).

According to FIG. 3, the operation of the server device 100 providing information about benefits related to membership may be performed for a service provided by the server device 100 or a service related to the server device 100, and the service may be performed It 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 obtain the user's first order on the service.

For example, the user's first order that the server device 100 obtains on the service through operation 301 may correspond to the user's order to purchase one or more items.

For example, when a user inputs a first order through the user device 200, the server device 100 may obtain the first order by receiving information about the first order from the user device 200. there is.

According to various embodiments, in operation 303, when the first order is obtained, the server device 100 may check whether the user has subscribed to membership for the service.

For example, membership for a service can be understood as a member that a user who uses the service can join. Here, when the server device 100 divides service membership or membership levels into several levels and sets benefits to be provided differentially for each level, the user's membership confirmed by the server device 100 in operation 303 In addition to simply whether or not the user has signed up for a membership, whether or not the user has signed up for a membership of a certain level or higher may also be considered. In this case, information about one or more benefits confirmed by the server device 100 in operation 305, which will be described later, may be provided based on whether the user has signed up for a membership of a certain level or higher.

For example, operation 303 in which the server device 100 checks whether the user has signed up for membership in the service may correspond to an operation performed based on checking the user's information set on the service.

According to various embodiments, in operation 305, when the user signs up for membership, the server device 100 may check information about one or more benefits applied for the first order based on information about the membership.

For example, if the user has signed up for a membership, the information about one or more benefits that the server device 100 confirms according to operation 305 may be used to determine delivery of the item included in the first order based on the information about the user's membership. It may include first benefit information about delivery benefits applied to the user. Such first benefit information includes a shipping benefit that allows items included in the first order to be delivered within the same day, a shipping benefit that allows items included in the first order to be delivered within the early morning of the day after ordering, and/or the first order. Various shipping benefits may be included, such as shipping benefits where items included in can be shipped free of charge.

For example, the first benefit information about the delivery benefit included in the information about one or more benefits confirmed by the server device 100 according to operation 305 is delivered to the user when the server device 100 completes delivery of the item. It can be set to be included and provided together when providing guidance information related to. That is, if the server device 100 obtains information confirming that the delivery of the item included in the first order to the user has been completed, the server device 100 provides first delivery benefit information in response to the information obtained in this way. Delivery completion information containing information indicating that each delivery benefit included in applies for delivery may be provided to the user.

At this time, if the delivery benefit applied for delivery of the item included in the first order is a benefit provided in relation to the delivery time/date, the server device 100 uses the delivery benefit provided by the user by signing up for membership. It can also provide information about how much delivery time the user can save on average. That is, when the server device 100 provides the user with delivery completion information including information indicating that each delivery benefit included in the first delivery benefit information is applied for delivery, the user receives information indicating that each delivery benefit is applied. When an input corresponding to is made, if a benefit provided in relation to the delivery time/date is included among the delivery benefits applied for the first order, the server device 100 provides membership through the delivery benefit provided by the user signing up for membership. It can provide information about the delivery time savings that can be saved on average compared to other users who have not signed up.

For example, the delivery saving time that a user can save on average compared to other users who have not signed up for membership through the delivery benefits provided by signing up for membership is the first time confirmed for a plurality of users who have signed up for membership. It may be obtained based on the average delivery time and a second average delivery time confirmed for other users who have not signed up for membership. Specifically, the delivery saving time may be obtained as a time obtained by subtracting the first average delivery time from the second average delivery time.

At this time, the plurality of users who have signed up for membership on the service and the other users who have not signed up for membership may correspond to users classified as having address information in an area within the same or similar range as the user. In other words, the users who are considered in calculating the average delivery saving time are those whose delivery address information is located in the same or similar area or area as the user, except for differences in delivery time depending on whether or not they have signed up for membership. These may be users for whom it may be judged that no significant difference will occur over time. As an example, the plurality of users who have signed up for membership on the service and the other users who have not signed up for membership set address information included in area information that distinguishes the first address information set by the user for delivery of items. Can contain one user.

In the process of calculating the average delivery time for the plurality of users who have signed up for membership on the service and the other users who have not signed up for membership, the server device 100 calculates the delivery time from the logistics center that delivers the item to each user. Information about time can also be obtained.

In particular, when calculating the average delivery saving time depending on whether or not to sign up for membership, the users who are considered are those who have set the address information included in the area information corresponding to the user's delivery address information, and the server device ( 100) can obtain the delivery time for the users from each distribution center located in the corresponding area information. That is, the server device 100 confirms one or more distribution centers corresponding to local information, and obtains information from the confirmed one or more distribution centers from the plurality of users who have signed up for membership and the other users who have not signed up for membership. You can obtain information about the delivery time required to process multiple orders. Based on the information obtained in this way, the server device 100 provides a first average delivery time confirmed for the plurality of users who have signed up for membership and a second average delivery time confirmed for the other users who have not signed up for membership. It can be obtained by calculating time.

In FIG. 4, the server device 100 may obtain delivery area classification information including the user's first address information set on the service (401). Such delivery area classification information may be area information that distinguishes each area according to a certain standard or area for delivery of items in the service.

The server device 100 can check users who have signed up for membership and users who have not signed up for membership among users who have set address information included in the obtained delivery area classification information (403), and the delivery area classification information You can also check one or more corresponding logistics centers (405).

Thereafter, the server device 100 may obtain information about the delivery time required to process a plurality of orders obtained from users who have signed up for membership and users who have not signed up for membership, from one or more distribution centers ( 407), and based on this, the first average delivery time for users who have signed up for membership and the second average delivery time for users who have not signed up for membership can be obtained (409). The server device 100, which has obtained the first average delivery time and the second average delivery time, may calculate the delivery saving time according to membership subscription by subtracting the first average delivery time from the second average delivery time (411).

As shown in FIG. 4, the server device 100 obtains delivery savings for users who have set address information included in the same or similar area information or delivery area classification information as the user, and uses membership with users who have signed up for membership. By setting different priorities for determining which logistics center to ship items to for users who have not signed up for membership, you can ensure fast delivery for users who have signed up for membership and maximize the effect of saving delivery time.

Specifically, for users who have signed up for membership, among one or more logistics centers corresponding to certain regional information or delivery area classification information, those who have signed up for membership are selected according to the priority of proximity to the address information of each user who has signed up for membership. Each user can decide on one distribution center to ship the ordered items. In other words, faster delivery may be important for users who have signed up for membership, so based on the order of proximity to the delivery address of each user who has signed up for membership at the distribution center where the item is in stock among the one or more logistics centers above. You can determine one logistics center to ship the item to.

For example, when users who have signed up for membership among users who have set address information included in certain area information or delivery area classification information order items on the service, one or more logistics corresponding to the certain area information or delivery area classification information Among the centers, the logistics center closest to the address information of each user who has signed up for membership may be determined as the logistics center from which the item will be shipped. For this operation, the server device 100 sets address information included in certain area information or delivery area classification information and provides address information for each of the users and the certain area information or You can check the distance between each logistics center included in one or more logistics centers corresponding to the delivery area classification information.

For users who have not signed up for membership, among one or more logistics centers corresponding to certain area information or delivery area classification information, the server device 100 will, regardless of the address information of each user who has not signed up for membership, Each user who has not signed up for membership can decide on one logistics center to ship the ordered item based on priority of having the most inventory. That is, since the importance of rapid delivery for users who have not signed up for membership is relatively low, the server device 100 selects a distribution center that has sufficient inventory of items instead of selecting a distribution center that can quickly perform delivery. By selecting , you can promote efficient item inventory management at each distribution center. Accordingly, the server device 100 selects one logistics center that will ship items based on the order in which the items ordered by each non-membership user, among one or more logistics centers corresponding to certain regional information or delivery area classification information, are in stock. You can decide on the center.

For example, when users who have not signed up for membership among users who have set address information included in certain area information or delivery area classification information order an item on the service, one or more items corresponding to the certain area information or delivery area classification information are ordered. Among the distribution centers, the distribution center with the largest inventory of the item may be determined as the distribution center from which the item will be shipped. For this operation, the server device 100 sets address information included in certain area information or delivery area classification information and sets the certain area information or delivery area classification information for each item ordered by users who have not signed up for membership. You can check the inventory in which each item is stored by one or more distribution centers corresponding to the information.

Alternatively, the plurality of users who signed up for membership on the service and the other users who did not sign up for membership may correspond to users who ordered items included in the item category corresponding to the item ordered by the user through the first order. there is. As described above, in addition to calculating the average delivery savings time for users whose local information is determined to be similar or the same as that of the user, the server device 100 also calculates the average delivery savings time for items included in the same item category as the user's ordered item. You can calculate the average shipping time savings based on users who placed orders. For example, the plurality of users who have signed up for membership on the service and the other users who have not signed up for membership include users who ordered the same item or similar items belonging to the item category that includes the item that the user purchases through the first order. may include.

Additionally, in order to obtain delivery savings, the server device 100 identifies the plurality of users who have signed up for membership on the service and the other users who have not signed up for membership, and the server device 100 uses the above-described user's local information and the user's order information. You can also consider all item categories that contain an item. That is, users to be considered when calculating the average delivery savings time may be users who ordered items belonging to the item category that includes the user's ordered item while determining that the user's regional information is similar or the same.

For example, information indicating that even if a shipping benefit is applicable to a user's first order, each shipping benefit applies if the items included in the first order are shipped together with other items included in the user's other orders; or Provision of information on average delivery savings time following membership registration may be omitted. That is, if the item included in the first order is delivered together with other items included in the user's other order, additional time may be incurred to deliver the item included in the first order together with the other items, or Since there may be a situation where the delivery schedule of the items included in the first order must be aligned with the delivery schedule of the other items above, information indicating that each delivery benefit is applied or membership registration, unlike when only the items included in the first order are delivered The provision of information on the average delivery savings time may be omitted. As an example, if an item included in the user's first order is set to be delivered to the user along with other items included in the user's other orders, delivery of the item included in the first order and other items included in the user's other orders As this is completed, the delivery completion information provided to the user may omit information indicating that each delivery benefit is applied for delivery or information about the average delivery saving time by signing up for membership.

For example, when delivery of an item is completed by the server device 100, the delivery completion information provided to the user includes information on the item included in the user's first order, and the item included in the first order is included in the user's address information. Information about when delivery has been completed and/or image information confirming that items included in the first order are delivered to the user's address information may be included.

For example, if the user has signed up for a membership, the information about one or more benefits that the server device 100 confirms according to operation 305 may include returning the item included in the first order based on the information about the user's membership. It may include secondary benefit information about the return benefit applied for the product. Such secondary benefit information includes a return benefit in which items included in the user's first order can be returned within the same day of the return request, and/or a return benefit in which items included in the user's first order can be returned free of charge, etc. Various return benefits may be included.
