Specifically, the device 300 may store and manage customer account information registered as a shopping mall member in a database, and may generate and manage order detail information for each customer. Here, the order details information is information in which order details generated when ordering products are accumulated and may include product order details for a predetermined period. The order details information may include information such as order date and order quantity for each product, and is sorted in order of order date, so that the most recently ordered details can be checked first.

In step S202, the device 300 may analyze an order pattern for the first product based on the order details information of the first customer.

For example, when it is confirmed that the first product was ordered 20 items on January 1, 15 items on January 11, and 25 items on January 21 through the order history information of the first customer, the device 300 ) Can analyze the order pattern of the first product by grasping that an average of 10 orders of the first product are made at 10-day intervals.

In step S203, the device 300 may predict an expected order date and an expected order amount for the first product based on the order pattern of the first product.

For example, if the order pattern of the first product is analyzed as a pattern in which an average of 10 orders are placed at 10-day intervals, and the most recent order is placed on January 21, the device 300 You can predict the expected order date as January 31, and the expected order quantity as 10 pieces.

In step S204, the device 300 may determine whether the first product is required to be ordered by the first customer by checking whether the expected order date of the first product remains shorter than the reference period. Here, the reference period may be set differently according to embodiments.

Specifically, when it is determined that the expected order date of the first product remains shorter than the reference period, the device 300 determines that the first customer needs to order the first product, and the expected order date of the first product is less than the reference period. If it is confirmed that it remains for a long time, it may be determined that the first customer does not need to order the first product.

For example, if the estimated order date of the first product is January 31 and the reference period is 5 days, the device 300 determines that the current date is January 28, and the remaining period until the expected order date is 3 days. It can be determined that the first customer needs to order the first product, and if the current date is confirmed as January 23, the first customer does not need to order the first product because the remaining period until the expected order date is 8 days. It can be judged as not.

If it is determined in step S204 that the order of the first product is not required, the process returns to step S201, and the device 300 may re-acquire order details information of the first customer after a certain period of time has elapsed.
