Abstract

An information processing device according to one embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a totaling unit, and an output control unit. The acquisition unit acquires, as product storage information, information including a product type, an effective time limit, and a quantity of a product before consumption, for each of users. The totaling unit determines a totaled quantity of the product and a totaled number of users each storing the product, for each of effective time limits, from the product storage information for users living within a predetermined range from a store selling the product, based on the product storage information for each of the users acquired by the acquisition unit and address information of the users. The output control unit outputs results determined by the totaling unit.

Claims (38)

1 . An information processing device comprising a processor configured to:

acquire, as product storage information, information including a product type, an effective time limit, and a quantity of a product before consumption, for each of users;

determine a totaled quantity of the product and a totaled number of users each storing the product, for each of effective time limits, from the product storage information for users living within a predetermined range from a store selling the product, based on the product storage information for each of the users acquired by the processor and address information of the users; and

output results determined by the processor.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the totaled quantity of the product for each of the effective time limits, determined by the processor, satisfies a predetermined condition, the processor is configured to output privilege information to user terminals of the users living within the predetermined range, subject to purchase of the product.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the totaled number of users each storing the product for each of the effective time limits, determined by the processor, satisfies a predetermined condition, the processor is configured to output privilege information to user terminals of the users living within the predetermined range, subject to purchase of the product.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from a user terminal for each of the users, a request for a reservation concerning purchase of the product; and

order the product, based on the request from each of the user terminals, so that the product is delivered to the store.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to order a number of the product that is set depending on a number of the requests for the product received by the processor.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to adjust an order amount of the product, depending on a ratio of a number of the requests received by the processor to a number of users of the store, or a ratio of the number of the requests received by the processor to an average number of the product that have been sold per day in the store.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to output, to a user terminal of the user, information presenting an item of a dish for which the product is used as an ingredient.

8 . An information processing method comprising:

a step of acquiring, as product storage information, information including a product type, an effective time limit, and a quantity of a product before consumption, for each of users;

a step of determining a totaled quantity of the product and a totaled number of users each storing the product, for each of effective time limits, from the product storage information for users living within a predetermined range from a store selling the product, based on the product storage information for each of the users acquired at the step of acquiring and address information of the users; and

a step of outputting results determined in the step of determining.

9 . A non-transitory storage medium including a program causing a computer to execute predetermined steps that include:

a step of acquiring, as product storage information, information including a product type, an effective time limit, and a quantity of a product before consumption, for each of users;

a step of determining a totaled quantity of the product and a totaled number of users each storing the product, for each of effective time limits, from the product storage information for users living within a predetermined range from a store selling the product, based on the product storage information for each of the users acquired at the step of acquiring and address information of the users; and

a step of outputting results determined in the step of determining.

10 . The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

when the totaled quantity of the product for each of the effective time limits, determined in the determining step, satisfies a predetermined condition, the step of outputting further includes outputting privilege information to user terminals of the users living within the predetermined range, subject to purchase of the product.

11 . The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

when the totaled number of users each storing the product for each of the effective time limits, determined in the determining step, satisfies a predetermined condition, the step of outputting further includes outputting privilege information to user terminals of the users living within the predetermined range, subject to purchase of the product.

12 . The information processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a receiving step of receiving, from a user terminal for each of the users, a request for a reservation concerning purchase of the product; and

an ordering step of ordering the product, based on the request from each of the user terminals, so that the product is delivered to the store.

13 . The information processing method according to claim 12 , wherein

a number of the product ordered in the ordering step is set depending on a number of the requests for the product received in the receiving step.

14 . The information processing method according to claim 12 , further comprising

an adjusting step of adjusting an order amount of the product, depending on a ratio of a number of the requests received in the receiving step to a number of users of the store, or a ratio of the number of the requests received in the receiving step to an average number of the product that have been sold per day in the store.

15 . The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

the step of outputting further includes outputting, to a user terminal of the user, information presenting an item of a dish for which the product is used as an ingredient.
