FIG. 10 is a view showing an output screen of the order terminal 200 for checking the entire order history during the process, FIG. 10 is a view showing an output screen of the order terminal 200 for canceling and modifying the order of FIG. 11 shows menu order information transmission. A diagram showing an output screen of the order terminal 200 for.

The order process (S100), as shown in Figure 4, when the user drives the ordering terminal 200, as shown in Figure 5 by outputting a large category menu list set by grouping the menu items so that the user can select the large category menu (Category selection menu process; S110).

When the selection of the major classification menu is performed, a detailed menu screen of cuts grouped into the selected major classification is output as shown in FIG. 6. The user selects the detailed menu by selecting the desired menu from the detailed menu item. At this time, the user confirms the order quantity through the interface screen provided for order quantity selection as shown in FIG. 7 and then cancels or modifies the selected menu in the detailed menu selection process through the interface screen provided as shown in FIG. Menu selection process;

The large category menu selection process (S110) and the detailed menu selection process (S120) for the selection of the large category menu and the detailed menu are repeatedly performed by the number of people or the order menu.

After the menu selection is completed by the repetitive execution of the large category menu selection process (S110) and the detailed menu selection process (S120) as described above, an interface screen for checking the entire menu order information as shown in FIG. 9 is output to the user. The user can check the order details once again, and if the order details are correct in the interface screen of FIG. 9, the user orders through the interface screen for the order as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 sequentially output according to the user's order confirmation input. By doing so, the order procedure is terminated, or a cancellation or correction process is performed (order termination determination process; S130).

At this time, if the order is canceled, the process returns to the main classification menu selection process (S110) as shown in FIG. 4, and the process is repeated. When the order is performed, the order is terminated and the process returns to the process of FIG. 3.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed processing of the meeting arrangement process (S200) of the processing of FIG. 3, and FIG. 13 is an output of an ordering terminal 200 provided as input of information for registering the meeting arrangement requester information is performed. FIG. 14 is a view showing a screen for requesting a meeting request requester list of the ordering terminal 200 to search for a request for meeting order requester. FIG. 15 is a view for inputting a meeting request message and selecting a gift menu. It is a figure which shows the output screen of the ordering terminal 200, and FIG. 16 is a figure which shows the output screen of the ordering terminal 200 which outputs an encounter answer message.

Next, when the user wants to receive the meeting arrangement service, the meeting arrangement service is provided by inputting information through the interface screen of FIGS. 13 to 16 according to the processing procedure of FIG. 12.

First, when a user executes a meeting arrangement service to request a meeting arrangement, an interface screen as shown in FIG. 13 is output, and a request for meeting arrangement request list is input to the order service server 100 by inputting simple information of the user requesting meeting arrangement. You can register with. At this time, the input information is information such as gender, age group, screen name, etc. (meeting arrangement requester registration process; S210).

When the meeting arrangement requester information is registered by the above-described meeting arrangement requester information registration process (S210), the pre-registered meeting arrangement requester information stored in the database unit 130 of the order service server 100 is extracted and the corresponding order terminal 200 To send). The ordering terminal 200 outputs the information of the meeting arrangement requesters in a list form as shown in FIG. 14. The user checks the information of the meeting arrangement requester by selecting a specific list and then selects the meeting arrangement requester who wants to meet (a meeting arrangement requester searching process; S220).

When the counterpart is desired to meet by the meeting arrangement requester search process (S220), as shown in Figure 15, the ordering terminal 200 outputs an interface screen for creating a meeting request message. The user inputs a phrase for requesting a meeting through the interface screen of FIG. 15, and transmits it to the order service server 100, and the order service server 100 receives the transmitted data and then orders the terminal of the counterpart selected by the user. (200) (Sent message transmission process; S240).

In this process, as shown in FIG. 15, the payment of the service fee may be performed when the meeting arrangement service is performed, or the present invention may further include a process of selecting a gift to be sent to the meeting requestee.

In other words, it is possible to generate a profit by performing a predetermined charge for the user's use of the meeting service.

In addition, in order to increase the probability of meeting, the user may select a menu to be provided to the meeting request subject as a gift to be provided when the meeting is accepted. This process becomes a gift additional order process (S100) of FIG.

As such, the meeting request message sent by the execution of the meeting arrangement request is sent to the ordering terminal 200 of the meeting request target user to meet the subject to write a reply, the reply of the meeting request subject immediately meets the meeting request message The transmission is sent to the ordering terminal is displayed as shown in Figure 16 (meet response message transmission process; S250).

When the meeting is completed by such a processing procedure, requesters or respondents who request a meeting can move to a desired place and have a meeting.

In this case, the meeting place information selected by the ordering terminal may be transmitted to the order service server 100 so that the ordered menus may be stored as a place where the ordered menu is made.
