Detailed Description

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an advertisement fee settlement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where the fee settlement method may specifically include the following steps:

step 101: a plurality of virtual charge pools are created based on a total payment of the business parties.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the business party may be a party with numerous stores, i.e., KA client.

The total payment fee refers to the total fee paid by the business party for the advertisement placement.

The virtual fee pool is used for creating a virtual pool for storing the payment of the advertisement fee of the service party for the service party by the advertisement platform.

After the advertisement platform obtains the total payment fee of the service party, a plurality of virtual fee pools may be created according to the total payment fee of the service party, for example, referring to fig. 2a, a schematic diagram of fund pool division provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, as shown in fig. 2a, in an initial state, N virtual fee pools, such as virtual fund pool 0, virtual fund pool 4, virtual fund pool 8, virtual fund pool 12, and the like, may be divided according to the total payment fee.

Of course, in the present disclosure, the number of divided virtual cost pools may be a power of 2.

After the virtual charge pools are created, a virtual pool identifier can be respectively allocated to each virtual charge pool, and the service side can comprise a plurality of settlement accounts, and each settlement account is allocated with a corresponding account identifier by the advertisement platform.

After creating a plurality of virtual fee pools based on the total payment by the business party, step 102 is performed.

Step 102: allocating the total payment fee to the plurality of virtual fee pools.

After creating the plurality of virtual fee pools, a total payment fee of the business party may be allocated to the plurality of virtual fee pools.

In some examples, the total payment of the business party may be evenly distributed to a plurality of virtual fee pools, for example, the total payment of the business party is 8000, the number of the virtual fee pools is 8, and 1000 fees may be distributed to each virtual fee pool.

In some examples, the total payment fee of the business party may be randomly allocated to a plurality of virtual fee pools, for example, the total payment fee of the business party is 8000, the number of virtual fee pools is 3, the first virtual fee pool is allocated with a fee of 2000, the second virtual fee pool is allocated with a fee of 3500, the third virtual fee pool is allocated with a fee of 2500, and so on.

It is to be understood that the above examples are only examples set forth for a better understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not to be taken as the only limitations on the embodiments of the present disclosure.

After the total payment fee is allocated to the plurality of virtual fee pools, step 103 is performed.

Step 103: and establishing a mapping relation between at least one account identifier and one virtual pool identifier by using a consistent hash algorithm.

The consistent hashing algorithm is a distributed algorithm and is commonly used for load balancing.

After creating a plurality of virtual charge pools according to the total payment charge of the service party and allocating the total payment charge to the plurality of virtual charge pools, a mapping relationship between at least one account identifier and one virtual pool identifier may be established by using a consistent hashing algorithm, and specifically, the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier may be mapped to binary values of fixed length by using the consistent hashing algorithm, that is, an account identifier binary value and a virtual pool identifier binary value, and a mapping relationship between at least one account identifier binary value and one virtual pool identifier binary value, that is, a mapping relationship between at least one account identifier and one virtual pool identifier is established.

After the mapping relationship between at least one account id and one virtual pool id is established by using the consistent hashing algorithm, the mapping relationship may be saved in the advertisement platform, and then step 104 is executed.

Step 104: when the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account needs to be settled, a first account identifier of the first settlement account and the fee to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account are obtained.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first settlement account is an account corresponding to one or more stores where the business party puts the advertisement on the advertisement platform. The business party can be a party with a plurality of stores, namely a KA client.

Account identifications corresponding to a plurality of settlement accounts under the service party are prestored on the advertisement platform.

In some examples, the account ids corresponding to the plurality of settlement accounts of the business party may be digital ids, for example, the plurality of settlement accounts of the business party include an account a, an account B, and an account C, the account id corresponding to the account a is 1, the account id corresponding to the account B is 2, the account id corresponding to the account C is 3, and the like.

In some examples, the account ids corresponding to the plurality of settlement accounts of the business party may be english character ids, for example, the plurality of settlement accounts of the business party include an account a, an account B, and an account C, where the account id corresponding to the account a is a, the account id corresponding to the account B is B, the account id corresponding to the account C is C, and the like.

It should be understood that the foregoing examples are merely examples listed for better understanding of technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and in a specific implementation, the identifier of the settlement account may also adopt other expression manners, such as an upper case english character A, B, C, and the like, and in particular, may be determined according to business requirements, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

When the first settlement account puts the advertisement on the advertisement platform, the advertisement platform generates advertisement fee, and the advertisement platform can settle the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account.

The charge to be settled refers to the unsettled charge generated by the advertisement putting of the first settlement account on the advertisement platform.

When the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account needs to be settled, a first account identifier corresponding to the first settlement account can be acquired, and an account to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account is calculated.

When the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account needs to be settled, after the first account identifier of the first settlement account and the fee to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account are acquired, step 105 is executed.

Step 105: and acquiring a first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier according to the mapping relation between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier.

In this disclosure, the advertisement platform may create a plurality of virtual fee pools for the service party according to the total payment fee of the service party, where each virtual fee pool corresponds to a virtual pool identifier, for example, 8 virtual fee pools are created for the service party, and the identifiers of the 8 virtual fee pools are: virtual pool identification 1, virtual pool identification 2, virtual pool identification 8, and then the total payment of the business side is distributed to the 8 virtual fee pools on average.

After creating the plurality of virtual fee pools, a mapping relationship between the virtual pool identifier of each virtual fee pool and the account identifiers of one or more settlement accounts can be established according to a plurality of settlement accounts corresponding to the service party, and the advertisement platform can store the mapping relationship.

After obtaining the first account identifier of the first settlement account, the first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier may be obtained according to a mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier, for example, the mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier stored on the advertisement platform may be as shown in table 1 below:

as shown in table 1, when the account identifier of the first settlement account is account 1, the first virtual pool identifier is the virtual pool 1; and when the account identifier of the first settlement account is the account 4, the first virtual pool identifier is the virtual pool 2.

After the first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier is obtained according to the mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier, step 106 is executed.

Step 106: and acquiring a first residual charge in a first virtual charge pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier.

The first virtual expense pool is a virtual expense pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier.

The first remaining fee refers to the fee of the remaining paid advertisements in the virtual fee pool corresponding to the first virtual identifier.

After obtaining the first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier, the advertisement platform may obtain remaining charges in the first virtual charge pool, that is, a first remaining charge.

After acquiring the first remaining charge in the first virtual charge pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier, step 107 is executed, or step 108 is executed.

Step 107: and when the first residual expense is more than or equal to the expense to be settled, deducting the expense to be settled from the first virtual expense pool.

After acquiring the first remaining fee within the first virtual fee, the first remaining fee may be compared with the fee to be settled.

When the first remaining fee is larger than or equal to the fee to be settled, the fee to be settled can be directly deducted from the first virtual fee pool, and the settlement of the advertisement fee of the first settlement account is completed.

Step 108: and when the first residual charge is less than the charge to be settled, deducting the first residual charge from the first virtual charge pool.

When the first residual charge is less than the charge to be settled, the first residual charge can be deducted from the first virtual charge pool, and then the price difference can be deducted from other virtual charge pools.

After deducting the first remaining fee from within the first virtual fee pool, step 109 is performed.

Step 109: calculating a differential charge between the charge to be settled and the first remaining charge.

The differential charge is a difference between the charge to be settled and the first remaining charge when the first remaining charge is less than the charge to be settled, that is, the differential charge is the charge to be settled — the first remaining charge, or the differential charge is the first remaining charge — the charge to be settled, and then takes a positive value.

After the first remaining fee is deducted from the first virtual fee pool, a differential fee between the fee to be settled and the first remaining fee may be calculated, and step 110 is performed.

Step 110: a second virtual cost pool is obtained.

The second virtual charge pool is an available virtual charge pool which is created by the advertisement platform for the service party and is other than the first virtual charge pool, namely, the remaining charges in the second virtual charge pool can be used for settling the advertisement charges generated by the settlement account of the service party.

After calculating the difference between the charge to be settled and the first remaining charge, a second virtual charge pool can be available from the other virtual charge pools of the service side.

After the second virtual cost pool is acquired, step 111 is performed.

Step 111: and deducting the differential charge from the second virtual charge pool.

After the second virtual charge pool is acquired, the differential charge may be deducted from the second virtual charge pool, thereby completing settlement of the advertisement charges generated by the first settlement account.

The embodiment of the disclosure can automatically find the next available virtual expense pool to finish the settlement of the advertisement expense after the fund in a certain virtual expense pool is consumed by creating a plurality of virtual expense pools.

The advertisement fee settlement method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes creating a plurality of virtual fee pools according to the total payment fee of a business party, wherein each virtual fee pool corresponds to a virtual pool identifier, the business party comprises a plurality of settlement accounts, each settlement account corresponds to an account identifier, the total payment fee is distributed to the plurality of virtual fee pools, a mapping relation between at least one account identifier and one virtual pool identifier is established by utilizing a consistent hash algorithm, when the advertisement fee generated by a first settlement account needs to be settled, a first account identifier of the first settlement account and the fee to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account are obtained, a first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier is obtained according to the mapping relation between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier, and a first residual fee in the first virtual fee pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier is obtained, and when the first residual expense is more than or equal to the expense to be settled, deducting the expense to be settled from the first virtual expense pool, when the first residual expense is less than the expense to be settled, deducting the first residual expense from the first virtual expense pool, calculating the difference expense between the expense to be settled and the first residual expense, acquiring a second virtual expense pool, and deducting the difference expense from the second virtual expense pool. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, a plurality of virtual expense pools are created, and after the fund consumption in a certain virtual expense pool is finished, the next available virtual expense pool can be automatically searched, so that the advertisement expenses generated by a plurality of shops can be prevented from being deducted from one fund pool, the pressure on the system can be reduced, and the probability of deduction failure and overtime is reduced.

Example two

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of an advertisement fee settlement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where the fee settlement method may specifically include the following steps:

step 201: a plurality of virtual charge pools are created based on a total payment of the business parties.

After creating a plurality of virtual fee pools based on the total payment by the business party, step 202 is performed.

Step 202: allocating the total payment fee to the plurality of virtual fee pools.

After the total payment fee is allocated to the plurality of virtual fee pools, step 203 is performed.

Step 203: and establishing a mapping relation between at least one account identifier and one virtual pool identifier by using a consistent hash algorithm.

After the mapping relationship between at least one account id and one virtual pool id is established by using the consistent hashing algorithm, the mapping relationship may be saved in the advertisement platform, and then step 204 is executed.

Step 204: when the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account needs to be settled, a first account identifier of the first settlement account and the fee to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account are obtained.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first settlement account is an account corresponding to one or more stores where the business party puts the advertisement on the advertisement platform.

When the first settlement account puts an advertisement on the advertisement platform, a charging request may be generated, for example, referring to fig. 2b, a schematic diagram illustrating fund pool allocation provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, as shown in fig. 2b, when a charging request of the KA store 1 is received, a charging account number, i.e., an account number identifier, of the KA store 1 may be obtained; when receiving a charging request of the KA store 2, a charging account, i.e., an account id, of the KA store 2 may be obtained.

When the advertisement fee generated by the first settlement account needs to be settled, after the first account identifier of the first settlement account and the fee to be settled corresponding to the first settlement account are acquired, step 205 is executed.

Step 205: and acquiring a first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier according to the mapping relation between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier.

After obtaining the first account identifier of the first settlement account, the first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier may be obtained according to a mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier, for example, the mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier stored on the advertisement platform may be as shown in table 2 below:

account identification	Virtual pool identification
		Account 1	Virtual pool 1
Account 2	Virtual pool 2
		Account 3	Virtual pool 3
Account 4	Virtual pool 2

As shown in table 2, when the account identifier of the first settlement account is account 1, the first virtual pool identifier is the virtual pool 1; and when the account identifier of the first settlement account is the account 4, the first virtual pool identifier is the virtual pool 2.

After the first virtual pool identifier corresponding to the first account identifier is obtained according to the mapping relationship between the account identifier and the virtual pool identifier, step 206 is executed.

Step 206: and acquiring a first residual charge in a first virtual charge pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier.

After acquiring the first remaining charge in the first virtual charge pool corresponding to the first virtual pool identifier, step 207 is executed, or step 208 is executed.

Step 207: and when the first residual expense is more than or equal to the expense to be settled, deducting the expense to be settled from the first virtual expense pool.

Step 208: and when the first residual charge is less than the charge to be settled, deducting the first residual charge from the first virtual charge pool.

When the first remaining fee is less than the fee to be settled, the first remaining fee may be deducted from the first virtual fee pool, and then the spread may be deducted from the other virtual fee pools.

After the first remaining charge is deducted from the first virtual charge pool, step 209 is performed, and step 210 is performed.

Step 209: marking a status of the first virtual expense pool as unavailable.

After the first remaining fee is deducted from the first virtual fee, the fee in the first virtual fee pool is 0, and at this time, the status of the first virtual fee pool may be marked as unavailable, that is, the first virtual fee pool is marked as unavailable

The first virtual cost pool has been voided.

Step 210: calculating a differential charge between the charge to be settled and the first remaining charge.

After the first remaining fee is deducted from the first virtual fee pool, a differential fee between the fee to be settled and the first remaining fee may be calculated, and step 211 is performed.

Step 211: and acquiring a virtual expense pool with a mark state as an available state from the plurality of virtual expense pools as the second virtual expense pool according to the mark state of the virtual expense pool.

After calculating the difference between the fee to be settled and the first remaining fee, the virtual fee pool in an available state may be obtained from other virtual fee pools of the business side as a second virtual fee pool.

After acquiring a virtual expense pool marked as an available state from the plurality of virtual expense pools according to the marked states of the virtual expense pools, the step 212 is executed.

Step 212: and deducting the differential charge from the second virtual charge pool.

After the differential charge is deducted from the second virtual charge pool, the advertisement charge settlement of the first settlement account is completed, and then, step 213 may be performed.

Step 213: and acquiring the available number of the virtual expense pools in the available state in a plurality of the virtual expense pools.

The available quantity refers to the quantity of the virtual expense pools which are in an available state in a plurality of virtual expense pools which are created by the advertising platform for the business party.

In the above process, after settlement of the advertisement charges generated by the first settlement account is completed, an available number of virtual charge pools in an available state among the plurality of virtual charge pools may be acquired.

After obtaining the available number of the virtual expense pools in the available state from the plurality of virtual expense pools, step 214 is performed.

Step 214: and acquiring a second residual expense of the virtual expense pool in the available state under the condition that the available quantity is smaller than the expense pool quantity threshold value.

The charge pool number threshold refers to the number of virtual charge pools in an available state preset by a service person, and may be an integer value such as 4, 5, 8, and specifically may be determined according to a service requirement.

The second remaining charge refers to a total remaining charge in the virtual charge pool in an available state.

After obtaining the available number of the virtual cost pool in an available state from the plurality of virtual cost pools, the available number may be compared to a cost pool number threshold.

When the available number is less than the charge pool number threshold, a second remaining charge for the virtual charge pool in the available state may be obtained and step 215 is performed.

Step 215: and under the condition that the second residual expense is greater than an expense threshold value, creating a plurality of new virtual expense pools according to the second residual expense.

The fee threshold refers to a threshold of the remaining fee preset by the service personnel, and a specific value of the fee threshold may be determined according to the service requirement, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

After obtaining a second remaining cost for the virtual cost pool in the available state, the second remaining cost may be compared to a cost threshold.

And when the second residual cost is less than or equal to the cost threshold, not triggering the virtual cost pool to be re-divided, and continuously consuming the residual cost in the virtual cost pool in the residual available state.

And when the second remaining cost is greater than the cost threshold, a repartition of the virtual cost pool may be triggered to create a plurality of new virtual cost pools.

In the case that the second remaining charge is greater than the charge threshold, step 216 is performed after creating a plurality of new virtual charge pools according to the second remaining charge.

Step 216: allocating the second remaining cost to a plurality of the new virtual cost pools.

After the plurality of new virtual charge pools are created, the second remaining charge can be distributed to the plurality of new virtual charge pools, so that the problem that the system is stressed due to the fact that the advertisement charge is deducted from one virtual charge pool by the multi-settlement account due to the fact that too few virtual charge pools remain can be avoided.
