Description

Electronic device for providing information and method thereof The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method for providing information. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method for determining policy information by identifying delivery allocation delay prediction information for a set time interval based on a prediction model and state information. As demand in the e-commerce sector grows, the number of users purchasing products through e-commerce platforms is increasing exponentially. For example, e-commerce platforms can support users' product purchases through various features to enhance user convenience. For example, e-commerce platforms may utilize various algorithms to assign delivery tasks to couriers upon receiving a shipping request from a user. In this process, minimizing the time spent assigning tasks to couriers to ensure faster delivery of items to users is emerging as a critical issue. Meanwhile, situations may arise where delivery supply is insufficient, such as when delivery requests suddenly increase, or where delivery demand is insufficient, such as when the number of delivery requests is low compared to the number of delivery personnel capable of performing delivery tasks. Therefore, there is a need to develop technology that minimizes surplus resources and provides optimal delivery services by establishing policies to regulate delivery supply and delivery demand.
