detailed description

In order to further illustrate this application, the following examples are provided:

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for displaying bar code heat according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method is applied to a server, and may include the following steps:

In step 102, the user's access to the barcode is counted.

In this embodiment, after the user scans the barcode through the terminal, the user can access the corresponding server by accessing the link information included in the barcode, thereby implementing the corresponding service. The bar code may be in various forms such as a one-dimensional code and a two-dimensional code, and the present application does not limit this.

In this embodiment, the server may acquire user information for performing an access operation each time, and determine whether the user information has been recorded. If the user information has been recorded, the current access operation is ignored, otherwise the current access operation is used for The statistics of the access heat are recorded, and the user information is recorded. Through the recording and matching of user information, it is possible to avoid repeated statistics on multiple visits of the same user, to prevent the occurrence of malicious brushing and the like, and to ensure the accuracy of the statistical access.

The access popularity may include at least one of the following: a historical access number, a preset time period (such as the last week, the latest month; or, any specified time period, such as January 1, 2015 to 2015 2) Average number of visits, historical access frequency, and average access frequency within a preset time period.

Step 104: Select a display attribute parameter corresponding to the access heat.

In this embodiment, the attribute parameter is a parameter of the preset display attribute; wherein the preset display attribute can be set according to actual conditions or requirements, such as the color of the barcode, the gray value of the barcode, the background color of the barcode, and the background color. Gray value, etc., this application does not limit this.

Step 106: Apply the display attribute parameter to the display of the barcode.

In this embodiment, as an exemplary embodiment, the display attribute corresponding to the barcode may be configured by directly according to the selected display attribute parameter. For example, if the barcode is located in a webpage, the display attribute corresponding to the barcode may be selected from the attribute information of the webpage and reconfigured, so that the obtained barcode matches the selected display attribute parameter.

As another exemplary embodiment, the corresponding barcode may be regenerated according to the selected display attribute parameter, and the regenerated barcode is the same as the original barcode, that is, the regenerated barcode contains the same information as the original barcode, but only the display attribute. There are certain differences.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a scene of bar code heat according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, after a user reads a two-dimensional code (or other form of bar code) through a mobile phone (or other electronic device), the server is obtained. Accessing the link address and accessing the server accordingly; and the server performs the corresponding configuration on the display attribute of the two-dimensional code by counting the access behavior of the user.

Corresponding to the application scenario shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another method for displaying bar code heat according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the method is applied to a server, and Includes the following steps:

Step 302: Receive an access request sent by the user through the mobile phone.

In this embodiment, the user can perform image collection on the webpage or the two-dimensional code in the application page through the electronic device configured with the camera, such as a mobile phone, and read the information contained in the two-dimensional code; or, the user can also The information reading operation of the two-dimensional code can also be performed by the electronic device by directly selecting the two-dimensional code to be recognized from the webpage or the application page, or downloading the image of the two-dimensional code to the local.

Step 304: Extract user information from the access request.

In this embodiment, the user information, that is, the identity ID of the user, by extracting and identifying the identity ID, can prevent multiple accesses of the same user from affecting the final statistical result, and preventing the occurrence of a situation such as malicious heat.

In this embodiment, the user information may include at least one of the following: a user registration account, network environment information of the mobile phone, hardware information of the mobile phone, etc.; of course, those skilled in the art may use any other form of information as the user information herein. As long as different users can be distinguished, this application does not limit this.

Step 306: Determine whether the user currently initiating the access request is a historical user, and if yes, go to step 308; otherwise, go to step 310.

In step 308, the access request initiated by the current user is ignored.

In this embodiment, it should be understood that when step 306 is transferred to step 308, "ignore" means that the current access is not included in the statistical calculation of the access heat, and when step 314 is transferred to step 308, "ignore" "It means that the display attribute of the QR code does not need to be updated; however, the server still needs to perform a normal response to this access request without affecting the normal access requirements of the user.

Step 310: Update the statistics of the access heat of the two-dimensional code.

Step 312: Select a corresponding display attribute parameter according to the updated statistical result.

In this embodiment, a plurality of different access heat intervals may be defined in advance, so that corresponding display attribute parameters are selected according to the heat interval in which the current statistical result is located; wherein different access heat intervals may correspond to different display attributes. Parameter values can also correspond to different display attributes. It is assumed that the predefined heat interval of an exemplary embodiment is as shown in Table 1 below:

热度区间Heat interval	展示属性Display attribute
0-50次/天0-50 times / day	二维码灰度值＝0Two-dimensional code gray value=0
51-300次/天51-300 times / day	二维码灰度值＝80QR code gray value = 80
＞300次/天>300 times / day	二维码灰度值＝125QR code gray value = 125

Table 1

Then, as the access heat increases, the gray value of the two-dimensional code will become larger and larger, as shown in Figure 4: when the heat is at 0-50 times/day, the current heat of the two-dimensional code is low, and the two-dimensional code will be two-dimensional. The gray value of the code is set to 0; when the heat is 51-300 times/day, the current heat of the two-dimensional code is generally set, the gray value of the two-dimensional code is set to 80; when the heat is greater than 300 times/day, the description The current heat of the QR code is high, and the gray value of the two-dimensional code is set to 125. By the above-mentioned change of the gradation value, it is shown that the number of times the two-dimensional code is "swept" is too large, resulting in a visual effect of "wearing" and "depreciation".

Of course, changing the gray value of the two-dimensional code is only an exemplary embodiment. The present application does not limit the type of the attribute, the manner of modification, and the like, such as changing the color of the two-dimensional code (for example, When the heat is low, the color is black, the heat is generally yellow, and the heat is high, and the background color of the two-dimensional code is changed (for example, white when the heat is low, yellow when the heat is normal, and red when the heat is high) Etc., etc., can be applied to the technical solution of the present application.

In step 314, it is determined whether there is a change between the selected display attribute parameter and the current display attribute of the two-dimensional code. If there is a change, the process proceeds to step 316, otherwise, the process proceeds to step 308.

In step 316, the display attribute of the two-dimensional code is updated.

In this embodiment, the webpage may be directly modified, or after the server regenerates the new two-dimensional code, Update to the web page.
