In the following description, various embodiments will be described on the premise that the server device 100 performs an information provision operation to the user device 200 or the store device 300.

According to FIG. 3, the server device 100 obtains a first input of a first user who selects a group order for the first store on the service (301) and, in response to the first input, orders the first input from the first store. Order setting information for one group order may be provided to the first user (303). In addition, based on the order setting information, the server device 100 provides information about a plurality of orders paid at the first store by a plurality of users participating in the first group order and the first order entered by the first user at the first store. Information on the order is obtained (305), and when the first user pays for the first order, payment completion information for the first group order including a plurality of orders and the first order can be provided to the first user. (307).

According to FIG. 3, the operation of providing payment completion information by the server device 100 may be performed for a service provided by the server device 100 or a service related to the server device 100, and the service is entered into the service. It may correspond to a service for brokering item pickup orders and item delivery orders between multiple users using various stores and services. Additionally, items subject to pickup and delivery orders may be food items, and food items have the same meaning as various other terms that refer to food-related items, such as dish, food menu, or meal. It can be understood. A store linked to a service related to the server device 100 may correspond to a store that sells and delivers food items, and has the same meaning as various other terms indicating places where food items can be sold, such as stores, shops, and restaurants. It can be understood as having.

Through the service for brokering item pickup orders and item delivery orders provided by the server device 100, multiple users can enter an order request to order an item through the store within the service, and the store provides the service. You can check the order request entered through and prepare the ordered item in response. If the store supports both pick-up orders and delivery orders, for pick-up orders in which the user visits the store directly to pack or pick up the items, depending on the user's choice, the store will store the ordered items once they are ready. In the service, the item preparation information is entered, and the user can then visit the store and pick up the item. Alternatively, for a delivery order in which a delivery person delivers an item to the user's address according to the user's selection, the store enters delivery request information in the service when the ordered item is ready, and when the delivery request information is confirmed, the delivery person You can visit the store, pick up items, and have them delivered to your address information.

According to various embodiments, in operation 301, a first input of a first user who selects a group order for a first store on the service may be obtained.

For example, a group order for the first store may correspond to a group order for processing multiple orders for the first store at once.

For example, the first user who makes the first input selecting a group order may be classified as a leader user of the first group order, and users participating in the first group order other than the leader user may be classified as general participants. You can. In other words, users participating in group orders include leader users who create new group orders, and general participants who participate in group orders through link information related to group order invitations or directly participate in public group orders posted on the service. can be classified.

For example, the first input of the first user selecting a group order for a store may be obtained through the store details page of the store.

The store detail page of the store may include a function for creating a group order so that multiple users can enter multiple orders, in addition to the function for individual users to enter their own single order, and the first input of the first user. may correspond to the leader user's input to the function that creates a group order.

Specifically, when the first user, who is the leader user on the service, inputs an input to confirm the first store, the server device 100 provides the store detail page of the first store to the first user, and at this time, selects group order. The first input of the first user may include input corresponding to first button information included in the store detail page to request a group order for the first store.

For example, the first input of the first user to select a group order for a store is to display the plurality of stores separately when it is confirmed that group order is possible on the service for a plurality of stores including the store. It may also be obtained through a specific page on a set service.

The initial access page on the service can be set to include a function that allows access to a specific page set to display a plurality of stores confirmed to be available for group ordering, and the user accesses the specific page and then selects the first store. You can search and enter input to create a group order. Here, the first input of the first user may include an input of selecting the first store on the specific page.

Specifically, when the first user, who is the leader user, inputs information corresponding to the second button set on the initial access page to request a group order on the initial access page of the service, the server device 100 is configured to enable group order. A group order page including a store list is provided to the first user, and at this time, the first input of the first user to select a group order is an input to select the first store among a plurality of stores included in the store list. It can be included.

In order to set up the group order page as described above, the server device 100 may perform an operation of checking and classifying stores in advance where group ordering is possible. That is, the server device 100 obtains information about whether group orders can be processed for stores in the service, and provides a plurality of devices capable of processing group orders based on the information about whether group orders can be processed. You can check stores and set a store list that includes multiple confirmed stores. The server device 100 may set the group order page so that the set store list is displayed on the group order page.

According to various embodiments, in operation 303, the server device 100 may provide order setting information for a first group order in a first store to the first user in response to the first input.

For example, the order setting information provided by the server device 100 to the first user according to operation 303 includes information about the first store, information for the first user to invite other users to the first group order, and It may include information about the participation deadline of other users for group 1 orders, and information about the delivery address for the first group orders. That is, the order setting information that the server device 100 provides to the first user according to operation 303 may include various information necessary for the leader user to create a group order.

At this time, among the order setting information, the information for the first user to invite other users to the first group order includes name information of the first store, representative image information of the first store, guidance information for the first group order, and It may include link information set up so that other users can participate in the first group order. The leader user can send or forward a link set to participate in the first group order through messenger or SNS to other users, and other users can access the service through the link and participate in the first group order.

At this time, this link invitation function can be set to be used not only by the leader user but also by general participants. For example, a specific general participant who received a link from a leader user and participated in a group order may forward the link received to another user, and the other user may place a group order through the link received from the specific general participant. You can participate. In this way, when a user who receives a link from a general participant rather than a leader user participates in a group order, information about the user can be provided to the leader user.

Alternatively, in addition to confirming the participants who will participate in the group order through a link-based invitation, the server device 100 posts the group order on the service so that it is open to all users so that other users using the service can place the group order of the leader user. You can also set up a method to check related information and participate directly. In other words, the server device 100 can set up a page where a group order list can be displayed where group orders for recruiting participants on the service are publicly posted, and a user using the service can select the store or delivery location of his or her choice on the page. You can also check and manage your desired group ordering so that you can voluntarily participate in it.

For example, the server device 100 may apply various functions that allow the leader user to smoothly manage other users' participation in group orders or to restrict other users participating in group orders.

As an example, the server device 100 provides information about the number of times link information for inviting other users to the first group order was shared and information about the number of users who accessed the first store on the service through the link information. By providing it to the first user, the first user, who is the leader user, can be set to manage the participation status of other users in the first group order. For this purpose, the link information may include first tracking information that can track the fact that the link information is shared between users, and second tracking information that can track users who access the service through the link information.

As another example, the server device 100 provides the first user with flag setting information related to whether the function to participate in the first group order is activated through link information, and responds to the first user's input corresponding to the flag setting information. Based on this, it is also possible to set whether to restrict participation in the first group order through link information. That is, the server device 100 provides the first user, who is the leader user, with a function to manage other users' participation in the first group order by activating or deactivating it, thereby allowing other users participating in the first group order to be managed by the first user. can be set to limit.

In FIG. 4, the server device 100 may generate link information enabling participation in the group order based on the input of the first user setting the group order (401). Additionally, with respect to the group order set through the generated link information, the server device 100 may set flag setting information to indicate whether to activate the function to participate in the group order (403). The flag setting information set by the server device 100 according to operation 403 includes a value indicating On or Off according to the input of the first user, which is the leader user. When the flag setting information is set to On, the users use the link information. You can participate in group orders without any restrictions. On the other hand, if the flag setting information is set to Off, users will not be able to participate in group orders even if they enter link information.

The server device 100 provides flag setting information to the first user so that the first user can manage the flag setting information (405), and uses link information based on the first user's input corresponding to the flag setting information. You can set whether to restrict participation in group orders (407).

For example, if the invitation function by link is set to be utilized not only by the leader user but also by general participants, so that other users who receive the link through a route other than the leader user's invitation can participate in the group order, or if the leader user makes the group order public If you create a group order and enable other users to participate in a public group order on the service regardless of the invitation function, you may participate in the group order incorrectly, participate in the group order as a joke, or disrupt the group order. Problems may arise where some users participate for a specific purpose. In order to prevent such problems, the server device 100 may apply an additional function to prevent participation in group orders by users who may incorrectly participate in group orders or may be judged to be unclear about the purpose of their participation. .

For example, when a link to participate in a group order is received through a route other than the leader user's invitation, or a specific user who wishes to participate in a public group order enters a group order, the delivery address information of that specific user And/or the group order participation of the specific user can be managed by checking information about the specific user's service access history.

Specifically, if all of the one or more delivery address information set by the specific user on the service are located beyond a certain distance from the delivery location set for the group order, the server device 100 allows the specific user to place the group order. It may be determined that the user needs to confirm whether the participating user is the correct user, and based on this, confirmation request information confirming whether the user wants to participate in the group order can be transmitted to the specific user. By checking the distance between the delivery address information of the specific user and the delivery location set for the group order, the server device 100 can prevent the problem of the specific user incorrectly participating in the group order.

In addition, the server device 100 may place a group order even though the specific user does not frequently use the service when the specific user's last access history to the service exceeds a certain period of time from the time the specific user attempts to participate in the current group order. It can be determined that the user wants to participate in the group order, and based on this, confirmation request information can be sent to the specific user to confirm whether the user wants to participate in the group order. Additionally, the specific user with a long access history can be included in the group order. Approval request information confirming whether to approve participation may be transmitted to the leader user. By checking the connection history of the specific user, the server device 100 can primarily prevent the problem of the specific user participating in the group order as a joke or participating for the purpose of disrupting the group order.

According to various embodiments, in operation 305, the server device 100, based on order setting information, provides information about a plurality of orders paid at the first store by a plurality of users participating in the first group order and a first order. Information about the first order entered by the user in the first store can be obtained.

For example, a plurality of users participating in a first group order may correspond to general participants who are invited through link information by a leader user and participate in the first group order, or may be invited through link information from a general participant and 1 It may correspond to another general participant participating in a group order, or, if the first group order is a public group order, it may correspond to another general participant directly participating in a public group order.

For example, information about the order of a general participant who participated in the first group order may be obtained by the server device 100 based on the fact that the general participant paid for his or her order. That is, for any second order included in a plurality of orders, information about the second order is provided to the server device (100) based on the fact that the second user corresponding to the second order has completed payment for the second order. ) may be obtained by. On the other hand, unlike general participants, the leader user who created the first group order participates in the first group order by simply entering his or her order, and after other general participants participate in the first group order, he or she finally places the first group order. Upon confirmation, the leader user can pay for his or her order.

For example, when a general participant participates in the first group order by paying for his or her order, information about the general participant's participation in the first group order, such as information on the general participant and information on the general participant's order, is sent to the leader user. can be provided. That is, when information about the second order is acquired by the server device 100 for any second order included in a plurality of orders, the second user corresponding to the second order enters the first group order. Information about participation may be provided to the first user, who is the leader user.

According to various embodiments, in operation 307, when the first user pays for the first order, the server device 100 provides payment completion information of the first group order including a plurality of orders and the first order. 1 Can be provided to users.

For example, the server device 100 may obtain an input for a first user to pay for a first order, and provide a payment page including payment amount information for the first order to the first user. can be provided.

At this time, the payment page provided when the first user pays for the first order may be set to include information on the total payment amount for the first group order and guide the first user, and the total payment amount information may be determined based on the time when the input of the first user paying for the first order is obtained. Specifically, the total payment amount information is stored until the server device 100 continuously monitors the general participant's participation in the first group order, and the point at which the first user's input for payment of the first order is obtained. The orders of users who participated in the first group order may be confirmed.

For example, when payment completion information is provided to the first user, the server device 100 determines that the payment processing of the first group order is completed, causes the first group order to be received in the first store, and receives the first group order. Information on the order processing status of each user may be provided to each user included in the plurality of users who participated.

Meanwhile, when assigning a delivery person corresponding to a group order, if the server device 100 determines that the group order satisfies certain conditions and requires separate delivery person allocation management, it can set delivery person management information corresponding to the group order. there is.

As an example, for the first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his order, the total number of orders included in the first group order is greater than or equal to the first threshold number. If the condition is met, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery person allocation management is required for the first group order.

As another example, for a first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his order, the quantity of ordered items according to the total orders included in the first group order is second. If the second condition of being more than the threshold number is met, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery worker allocation management is required for the first group of orders.

As another example, for the first group order received by the first store after the first user, who is the leader user, completes payment for his order, the third condition that the total payment amount of the first group order is greater than or equal to the threshold amount is met. In this case, the server device 100 may set that separate delivery person allocation management is required for the first group order.

In other words, the total number of orders included in the order reception information is more than a certain number, the total quantity of ordered items according to all orders included in the order reception information is more than a certain quantity, or the total payment amount of group orders is more than a certain amount. In this case, it can be expected that it will be difficult for one delivery person to perform deliveries corresponding to group orders at once, so the store can also convey management information to ensure smooth delivery.

The delivery person management information that the server device 100 sets for separate delivery person allocation management may include various information to facilitate delivery of the first group orders.

As an example, the delivery person management information may include information instructing to allocate a delivery person equipped with a transportation means capable of delivering items of a certain quantity or weight, such as a vehicle or a bicycle, to the first group order. If a delivery person equipped with a means of transportation capable of delivering items of a certain quantity or a certain weight or more is assigned for a group order through such delivery person management information, the server device 100 is responsible for the leader user and each general participant included in the group order. When providing delivery information to a person, information informing that delivery corresponding to a group order is performed according to the delivery person's means of transportation can be set to be included in the delivery information.

As another example, the delivery person management information may include information instructing to allocate two or more delivery persons to the first group of orders. If a plurality of delivery workers are assigned to a group order through such delivery man management information, the server device 100 provides delivery guidance information to the leader user and each general participant included in the group order, to the plurality of delivery men. Information informing that delivery corresponding to a group order is performed, information about the estimated time when each of the plurality of deliverymen arrives at the delivery location, identification information including contact information for each of the plurality of deliverymen, etc. are included in the delivery information information. It can be set to be included. In addition, when delivery corresponding to a group order is performed by a plurality of delivery people, the delivery cost initially set for the group order can be set to be provided to all of the plurality of delivery people, and the server device 100 adds the amount to the leader user accordingly. You can also send guidance information and request information about delivery costs.

For example, when the first user, who is the leader user, pays for the first order, which is his/her order, the processing of the first group order including the multiple orders of the participants and the first order is completed, and the order for the first group order is received. Information is provided to the store, and each participant can cancel his or her order before the first user has paid for the first order. To this end, when managing information on each order included in the first group order, the server device 100 may manage status information indicating the order cancellation status of each order to be included in the information on each order.

Specifically, before the first user, who is the leader user, pays his or her first order, a third user corresponding to the third order among the plurality of orders included in the first group order cancels the third order. In this case, the server device 100 may manage information indicating that the third order is canceled to be set in the status information of the third order, and the server device 100 confirms that such status information is included in the information of the third order. ) can be set so that third-party orders are not delivered to the store. That is, when the first user pays for the first order and order reception information for the first group order is provided to the store, information on the third order may be excluded from the order reception information.
