Abstract

A method of an electronic apparatus for providing information related to a fulfillment center includes confirming data request information for requesting data related to the fulfillment center, acquiring first data corresponding to the data request information from at least one other apparatus connected to the electronic apparatus, and generating second data by processing the first data based on template information corresponding to the data request information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method operable by an electronic apparatus for providing information related to a fulfillment center, the method comprising:
receiving, at a first time from a first apparatus in data communication with the electronic apparatus, data signal indicative of a request for information related to the fulfillment center and a time at which the information is to be acquired each day;
acquiring first data corresponding to the requested information from at least one other apparatus connected to the electronic apparatus;
processing the first data based on template information corresponding to the request for information related to the fulfillment center, the template information indicative of how the requested information is to be displayed on a user interface (UI) of the first apparatus, and generating second data based on the processed first data;
displaying, based on the second data, the requested information via the UI of the first apparatus; and
adjusting, based on a difference between the first time and a second time, the time at which the requested information is to be acquired on a subsequent day.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data request information includes a time condition, and
the acquiring of the first data comprises acquiring the first data from the at least one other apparatus according to the time condition.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one other apparatus comprises a first server and a second server, and
the acquiring of the first data comprises acquiring data corresponding to the data request information from the first server and the second server in parallel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquiring of the first data comprises identifying, in response to the at least one other apparatus including a plurality of apparatuses, an apparatus related to the first data among the plurality of apparatuses and acquiring the first data related to the data request information from the identified apparatus based on information regarding the plurality of apparatuses.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data request information is confirmed based on a user input of a first apparatus connected to the electronic apparatus, and
the method further comprises providing the second data to the first apparatus.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data request information includes a first condition and a second condition,
the method further comprises transmitting the second data to a first apparatus connected to the electronic apparatus in response to satisfying at least one of the first condition or the second condition,
the first condition includes a time condition, and
the second condition includes a condition related to a shipping rate or a work rate of the fulfillment center.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the second data comprises:
confirming template information in response to a type of the data request information; and
generating the second data by changing at least one of an arrangement, a font size, a font color, or a layout in which the first data is displayed based on the confirmed template information.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the type of the data request information includes a first type in which the data related to the fulfillment center includes data of a certain size or more, a second type in which the data related to the fulfillment center includes a certain amount of text or more, or a third type in which the data related to the fulfillment center includes a certain number of images or more.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the data request information includes a time condition, and
the type of the data request information includes a first type in which the time condition is included in a first time range or a second type in which the time condition is included in a second time range.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the template information corresponding to the first type includes information that sets brightness of an area in which the second data is displayed to be greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and
the template information corresponding to the second type includes information that sets the brightness of the area in which the second data is displayed to be less than the predetermined value.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the template information includes information regarding a template type,
the template type is acquired based on a user input, and
the method further comprises:
confirming candidate apparatuses to which the second data is to be transmitted in response to confirming the template type based on the template information; and
transmitting, in response to at least one candidate apparatus being selected from the confirmed candidate apparatuses, the second data to the selected candidate apparatus.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the selected candidate apparatus includes another apparatus related to the data request information.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing information related to the generation of the second data, and
changing the information related to the generation of the second data in response to an input regarding the stored information.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the information related to the generation of the second data includes template information corresponding to the second data and information representing the first data.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second data includes information regarding a time at which the electronic apparatus requests the first data from the at least one other apparatus and information regarding a time at which the electronic apparatus acquires the first data from the at least one other apparatus.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein information regarding data request time included in the data request information is changed based on information regarding a difference between the time at which the first data is requested and the time at which the first data is acquired.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with a program allowing a computer to execute the method of claim 1 .

18. An electronic apparatus for providing information related to a fulfillment center, the electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory comprising instructions; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is connected to the memory and configured to:
receive, at a first time from a first apparatus in data communication with the electronic apparatus, data signal indicative of a request for information related to the fulfillment center and a time at which the information is to be acquired each day;
acquire first data corresponding to the requested information from at least one other apparatus connected to the electronic apparatus;
process the first data based on template information corresponding to the request for information related to the fulfillment center, the template information indicative of how the requested information is to be displayed on a user interface (UI) of the first apparatus, and generate second databased on the processed first data;
displaying, based on the second data, the requested information via the UI of the first apparatus; and
adjusting, based on a difference between the first time and a second time, the time at which the requested information is to be acquired on a subsequent day.
