Abstract

An item information providing method according to example embodiments may include checking a plurality of products corresponding to a search term received from a user who uses the service, and providing a first page that includes a first region in which a list of the plurality of products is displayed and a second region in which a filtering interface configured to filter the list of the plurality of products displayed in the first region according to a user's input is displayed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of providing item search result information for a service provided using an electronic apparatus, the item search result information providing method comprising:
receiving, from a user device, a search term;
determining, based on the search term, a plurality of products corresponding to the search term, wherein each product of the plurality of products includes at least one item, and wherein the at least one item of a product is distinguished from other items of each product based on characteristic information of the at least one item;
generating, based on the determining the plurality of products, a first page displayable on the user device, wherein the first page comprises:
a first region that displays a first list of the plurality of the products;
a second region; and
a filtering interface, located in the second region, for filtering the first list of the plurality of products in the first region according to a user input, wherein the filtering interface includes a second list, associated with selectable characteristic information, determined based on stock information of each item of the plurality of products;

sending, based on the generating the first page, the first page to the user device;
receiving, from the user device, user input regarding user interactions with the first page comprising selected characteristic information;
generating, based on received selected characteristic information, a first list of products among the plurality of products, wherein the first list of products matches the received selected characteristic information and are in stock;
determining, based on the received user input, out-of-stock products, wherein the out-of-stock products are products among the plurality of products matching the selected characteristic information corresponding to the user input and are not in stock;
generating, based on the first list of products and the out-of-stock products, a second page displayable on the user device overlapping the first page, wherein the second page comprises:
the first list of products in a first format; and
the out-of-stock products, wherein the out-of-stock products are displayed in a second format different from the first format; and

sending, to the user device, the second page.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the second page with the first list of the products which match the selected characteristic information and are in stock includes:
checking a product identifier of each of the items corresponding to the search term; and
checking an item identifier for the item that matches the selected characteristic information among item identifiers that identify items corresponding to each product identifier, and checking the products in which the item corresponding to the item identifier is in stock.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the filtering interface includes at least one detail interface by which a user selects pieces of characteristic information associated with a category of most products of the plurality of products corresponding to the search term.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second region further includes an icon indicating a detail interface for characteristic information corresponding to information about the user among pieces of characteristic information associated with a category of most products,
wherein the information about the user includes information indicating a size of a body portion of the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when there is no product in which the item that matches the selected characteristic information is in stock, one or more products among the plurality of products in which the item is in stock are displayed in the first region.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when there is no product in which the item that matches the selected characteristic information is in stock, one or more products among the plurality of products corresponding to a preferable brand a user prefers are displayed in the first region, and
the preferable brand is determined based on pieces of information indicating an item purchase history and item search history included in the information about the user.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, when there is no product in which the item that matches the selected characteristic information is in stock, the first region includes a date of receipt of the item that matches the selected characteristic information, and
the first region further includes a second interface configured to provide a notification about the date of receipt to a terminal device of the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a second page indicating detail information of the item that matches the selected characteristic information in response to a request of a detail page for a first product included in the first region.

9. An electronic apparatus for providing a service that provides item search result information, the electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory storing at least one program; and
a processor configured to:
receive, from a user device, a search term;
determine, based on the search term, a plurality of products corresponding to the search term, wherein each product of the plurality of products includes at least one item, and wherein the at least one item of a product is distinguished from other items of each product based on characteristic information of the at least one item;
generate, based on the determining the plurality of products, a first page displayable on the user device, wherein the first page comprises:
a first region that displays a first list of the plurality of the products;
a second region; and
a filtering interface, located in the second region, for filtering the first list of the plurality of products in the first region according to a user input, wherein the filtering interface includes a second list, associated with selectable characteristic information, determined based on stock information of each item of the plurality of products;

send, based on the generating the first page, the first page to the user device;
receive, from the user device, user input regarding user interactions with the first page comprising selected characteristic information;
generate, based on received selected characteristic information, a first list of products among the plurality of products, wherein the first list of products matches the received selected characteristic information and are in stock;
determine, based on the received user input, out-of-stock products, wherein the out-of-stock products are products among the plurality of products matching the selected characteristic information corresponding to the user input and are not in stock;
generate, based on the first list of products and the out-of-stock products, a second page displayable on the user device overlapping the first page, wherein the second page comprises:
the first list of products in a first format; and
the out-of-stock products, wherein the out-of-stock products are displayed in a second format different from the first format; and

send, to the user device, the second page.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising:
a medium configured to store computer-readable instructions,
wherein, when the computer-readable instructions are executed by a processor, the processor executes:
receiving, from a user device, a search term;
determining, based on the search term, a plurality of products corresponding to the search term, wherein each product of the plurality of products includes at least one item, and wherein the at least one item of a product is distinguished from other items of each product based on characteris
