Background

In daily life, consumers can know commodity related information, such as names of commodities, manufacturers, places of production, use methods and the like, from the packages of the commodities in the process of purchasing or using the commodities. Commodity packaging is the most direct and efficient channel for commodity manufacturers to display commodity-related information to consumers.

In practice, if a manufacturer wants to deliver new information about a commodity to a user through its own package, the package of the commodity is often updated or changed. For example, the package of the commodity can be redesigned and replaced with a new one, which not only increases labor, but also delays the information update, and the information update cannot be performed for the existing commodity. As another example, labels containing new information can be affixed to existing merchandise packages, which requires a significant amount of labor and material, resulting in wasted resources.

Detailed Description

For the purposes of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of one or more embodiments of the present specification more clear, the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of the present specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present specification and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present specification. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without undue burden, are intended to be within the scope of one or more embodiments herein.

In daily life, commodity manufacturers can use the package of the commodity as an effective channel for transmitting commodity related information to consumers. However, there is a disadvantage in that since the package of the goods is required to be obtained through a series of production processes such as design, manufacture, etc., if the manufacturer wants to transmit new information to the consumer through the package of the goods, for example, wants to add product service information of the goods, or wants to add sales promotion information of the goods, etc., the original package needs to be updated by printing the refreshed package material, or the original goods needs to be repackaged. The modes are completed under the human force line, more material resources are consumed, and the information is not convenient to update and has hysteresis; in addition, the amount of information that can be carried by the commodity package itself is also very limited.

In view of this, in the embodiments of the present specification, a scheme is provided for delivering new merchandise-related information to a user by using an existing merchandise barcode on a merchandise as an information carrier.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an overall scheme of a barcode scanning method in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, barcode related information corresponding to the existing commodity barcode 108 on the commodity 106 may be preset on the server 102; after the user scans the commodity bar code 108 on the commodity 106 by using the client application program corresponding to the server 102 at the user terminal 104, the bar code related information corresponding to the commodity bar code 108 can be obtained from the server 102, and then the commodity related information is displayed to the user at the user terminal 104 through the page.

In the scheme, the existing commodity bar codes on the commodity are utilized, the commodity package is not required to be updated, and the information communication channel between the commodity manufacturer and the commodity consumer (the channel of the commodity manufacturer for information transmission to the consumer) is provided under the conditions of not increasing extra material cost and not consuming excessive manpower, for example, the product service information of the commodity, the promotion information of the commodity and the like are provided through the existing commodity bar codes. And the information utilization rate of the existing commodity bar codes is improved to a certain extent.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a barcode scanning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. From the program perspective, the execution subject of the flow may be a program loaded on the user terminal.

As shown in fig. 2, the process may include the following steps.

Step 202: a first application installed at a user terminal acquires bar code information of an outer package of a commodity; and the bar code corresponding to the bar code information is used for being scanned by the first code scanning equipment when the commodity is settled.

Wherein, the bar code corresponding to the bar code information refers to a bar code of the commodity positioned on the outer package of the commodity. The commodity overwrap may refer to a package of a commodity that a user may observe prior to purchasing and using the commodity. For example, in the case of a milk product, the product package may be a package bottle for milk, or may be a package box for containing a plurality of bottles of milk. In specific applications, the commodity bar code corresponding to a commodity refers to a commodity bar code corresponding to one commodity settlement unit. For example, if the settlement of one or more bottles of milk products is performed by taking the bottle as a settlement unit, the corresponding product bar code is the bar code on the packaging bottle; if the box is taken as a settlement unit to settle one or more boxes of milk, the corresponding commodity bar code is the bar code on the packaging box.

The code of the commodity bar code follows a uniqueness principle to ensure that the commodity bar code is not repeated worldwide, i.e. one commodity item can only have one code, or one code can only identify one commodity item. Different commodity codes can only be used for commodities with different specifications, different packages, different varieties, different prices and different colors.

For example, EAN commodity bar codes, also known as universal commodity bar codes, are formulated by the international commodity code association, and are the most widely used commodity bar codes internationally, and are commonly used around the world. The EAN commodity bar codes are classified into EAN-13 (standard edition) and EAN-8 (shortened edition). Wherein, EAN-13 general commodity bar code is generally composed of prefix part, manufacturer code, commodity code and check code. The prefix code in the commodity bar code is a code for identifying a country or region, and the right to assign a code is in the international association of commodity codes, for example, 00-09 represents united states, canada, 45, 49 represents japan, 69 represents continental China, 471 represents taiwan area, 489 represents hong kong district of china. The rights of manufacturer codes are organized in the article codes of various countries or regions. The commodity code is a code for identifying the commodity, the code assigning right is used by the product manufacturer itself, and the manufacturer itself decides which Arabic numerals are used as commodity codes on which commodity according to the specified conditions. And finally, the commodity bar code uses a 1-bit check code to check the correctness of the 1 st-12 th bit digital code from the left in the commodity bar code.

The commodity bar code can be used for scanning by the first code scanning device when the commodity is settled. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first code scanning device may include a barcode scanning device, for example, a code scanner, used by a cashier system.

In the description of this specification, a barcode, i.e. a commodity barcode, refers to the barcode itself located on a commodity package. The barcode information, that is, commodity barcode information, refers to character string information, for example, "6902890884910", which is analyzed based on the commodity barcode.

In the present embodiment, the user terminal refers to a terminal used by a user, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, and the like. The user may refer to a target consumer of the merchandise. The user terminal may have an information acquisition module for acquiring barcode information of the outer package of the commodity. When the first application acquires the bar code information, the first application can call an information acquisition module of the user terminal to acquire the bar code information.

In an alternative embodiment, the first application obtains barcode information, such as a barcode image of the merchandise, which may be acquired by the user terminal. For example, the information acquisition module of the user terminal may be an image acquisition module, which is used for shooting a barcode image of the commodity and for analyzing barcode information contained in the commodity barcode. In an alternative embodiment, the acquiring the bar code information of the outer package of the commodity may specifically include: the bar code information of the commodity outer package is obtained by scanning the commodity outer package.

In practical application, the process of resolving the bar code information from the commodity bar code image can be executed by the user terminal, or can be executed by the server after the user terminal sends the acquired commodity bar code image to the server. In the embodiment of the present specification, the server refers to a server corresponding to a first application installed on a user terminal for implementing code scanning.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, acquiring the barcode information of the outer package of the commodity refers to that the acquired barcode information is identical to the barcode information of the outer package of the commodity, and does not necessarily mean that the barcode information is acquired from the outer package of the physical commodity. In practical application, the first application may scan the bar code information of the outer package of the commodity, or may scan the physical commodity directly by using the first application to obtain the bar code information, or scan the photo, poster or direct-casting magazine advertisement (Direct Magazine advertising, abbreviated as DM advertisement) containing the bar code information of the commodity by using the first application to obtain the bar code information.

The servers in this specification are described from a functional point of view, and when actually applied, the servers in the embodiments of this specification may include one or more groups of entity devices, where each group of entity devices may be used to implement different functions. For example, the physical devices of the servers involved may be the same or different in different steps.

Step 204: and sending the bar code information to a server.

The bar code information is sent to a server, specifically, the bar code information which is analyzed by the user terminal is sent to the server, or the bar code image of the commodity containing the bar code information is sent to the server, so that the server can analyze the bar code information.

The server in step 204 may refer to a server corresponding to the first application. For example, when the first application is a payment application, the server may be a server corresponding to the payment application; if the first application is a social application, the server may be a server corresponding to the social application.

In addition, the server in step 204 may store barcode related information corresponding to the barcode information in advance, and the user terminal may send the barcode information to the server in order to obtain the barcode related information corresponding to the barcode information from the server.

Step 206: and acquiring bar code associated information which is returned by the server and has a mapping relation with the bar code.

In an embodiment of the present specification, the barcode related information may specifically include information for opening a target page, and preferably, may include information for calling up a page of a target applet. The page of the target applet can contain any information customized according to actual needs.

Optionally, the bar code associated information may specifically include: link address information for a particular page. The link address information for the specific page can be used for the first application to access the specific page according to the link address information, and further obtain and display the page information corresponding to the specific page from a server. In this embodiment, the link address information may be acquired from a server corresponding to the first application, in which the bar code information and the corresponding link address information are stored, and then the page information may be acquired from a server corresponding to the first application, in which page information in a specific page corresponding to the link address information is stored, and the two servers involved may be the same server or may be different servers.

Optionally, the bar code associated information may specifically include page information of the specific page. In this embodiment, the barcode information and the page information are directly and correspondingly stored in the server, and thus the page information can be returned to the user terminal according to the barcode information.

In an alternative embodiment, the specific page may be a page showing product service information. For example, a user may obtain product service information about a commodity of the furniture home appliance type from a server by scanning a barcode on the commodity and display it on a user terminal. Specifically, the product service information may include various information related to the goods, such as product usage instruction information, product installation maintenance information, product after-sales replacement maintenance information, service site information, and the like, not limited to the examples listed herein. For example, after the bar code is scanned, the server can also judge whether the user scanning the bar code is a member according to the user ID scanning the bar code, if so, the server can also return the information or page link of the applet page containing the member service item to the first application of the user terminal, and the user terminal can directly jump to the applet page containing the member service item after receiving the information or page link; if the user scanning the code is a non-member, the information or the page link of the applet page corresponding to the non-member can be returned to the first application of the user terminal, and the user terminal can directly jump to the applet page corresponding to the non-member after receiving the information or the page link. In this embodiment, the user can open the membership page or the non-membership page more conveniently and quickly.

In an alternative embodiment, the particular page may be a page containing bonus resource information. Wherein the bonus resource information may include voucher information or red envelope information, and the form of the bonus resource information is not limited thereto.

Step 208: and displaying the corresponding page based on the bar code associated information.

When the user terminal scans the commodity bar code through the first application, after obtaining the bar code associated information corresponding to the bar code information in the commodity bar code from the server corresponding to the first application, the user terminal can display a corresponding page according to the obtained bar code associated information. For example, product service information, promotional program information (e.g., voucher information, red pack information) and the like provided by a commodity manufacturer may be displayed, without limitation.

It should be understood that the method according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include the steps in which some of the steps are interchanged as needed, or some of the steps may be omitted or deleted. Although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in this application to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another.

The method in fig. 2 is to pre-store bar code related information corresponding to the bar code of the commodity on the server, so that when the user scans the bar code of the commodity using the first application corresponding to the server on the user terminal, updated information corresponding to the commodity can be obtained.

The examples of the present specification also provide some specific embodiments of the method based on the method of fig. 2, which is described below.

In one or more embodiments, the bonus resource information may include voucher information in particular.

Alternatively, the server may determine the voucher information corresponding to the barcode information according to a preset rule based on the barcode information sent by the user terminal, and send the determined voucher to the user terminal.

And, the server may store the voucher information for subsequent reimbursement for use when the user purchases the article, in correspondence with the user identification information of the user and the barcode information (or article information represented by the barcode information). In the present embodiment, the bar code information may be a string of characters, for example, "6902890884910"; the commodity information may be commodity description information, for example, "Meng Niute am Su Chun milk slim package 250mL"; generally, commodity bar code information is in one-to-one correspondence with commodity information. The user identification information may be obtained from the user terminal simultaneously in the process that the server obtains the bar code information from the user terminal. Specifically, the user identification information may include user account identification information.

In practical application, the step of sending the voucher information to the user terminal by the server and the step of storing the voucher information by the server may be performed synchronously or asynchronously, and the order of the two is not particularly limited.

In the scheme of the embodiment, the user can obtain the cash coupon only by carrying out the code scanning operation once, and the user operation link is short and more convenient.

Optionally, the server may determine, based on barcode information sent by the user terminal, voucher information corresponding to the barcode information according to a preset rule, and send the voucher information to be retrieved to the user terminal; the user terminal displays the voucher information to be picked up, and after receiving the user picking up operation, the user terminal sends the voucher information corresponding to the user picking up operation to the server; the server receives the voucher information corresponding to the user picking operation, and stores the voucher information corresponding to the user picking operation for later verification and use when the user purchases the commodity corresponding to the user identification information of the user and the bar code information (or commodity information represented by the bar code information). In addition, the server may also feed back information indicating that the voucher is successfully retrieved to the user terminal.

In the solution of the previous embodiment, the to-be-acquired voucher information sent by the server to the user terminal may include one or more voucher information. The voucher information corresponding to the user retrieval operation sent to the server by the user terminal may include at least part of the voucher information in the voucher information to be retrieved. Based on the scheme, on one hand, the participation feeling in the process of the user ticket-taking process can be enhanced, and on the other hand, the user can select the cash-taking ticket meeting the self demand according to the actual demand. For example, if the voucher is a full voucher, the user may determine the amount of the full voucher to be received based on the amount of his or her purchase of the commodity.

After the user terminal displays the page containing the voucher information, the method can further comprise: the user terminal acquires transaction triggering operation; based on the transaction triggering operation, the user terminal displays a payment code for the second code scanning device to scan; then, the user terminal can acquire the deduction information returned by the server after the voucher is used; the deduction information is generated by the server based on the bar code information scanned by the first code scanning device when commodity settlement is carried out.

In practical application, the operation of acquiring the transaction trigger may specifically include: and acquiring a triggering operation of the use option of the voucher, for example, clicking a 'use voucher' control by a user, and directly jumping to a payment page. Or, the acquiring the transaction triggering operation may specifically include: a trigger operation for a payment operation option is obtained, e.g., the user clicks on a payment code control, displaying a page containing a payment code.

Optionally, the specific process of displaying the payment code based on the transaction triggering operation may be that the user terminal sends a payment code display request to the server based on the transaction triggering operation; and then acquiring and displaying the payment code sent by the server.

The first code scanning device may refer to a device for scanning a barcode of a commodity. The second code scanning device may refer to a device for scanning a payment code of the user terminal. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first code scanning device and the second code scanning device may be the same or different devices.

In practical application, after the second code scanning device scans the payment code, the second code scanning device can interact with the server to send the user identification information and the purchased commodity information (or the bar code information corresponding to the commodity information) to the server, so that the server can determine whether a corresponding cash coupon exists according to the user identification information and the purchased commodity information (or the bar code information corresponding to the commodity information), and realize the deduction of the account corresponding to the user identification information on the basis of using the corresponding cash coupon, and further return the deduction information after the cash coupon is used to the user terminal corresponding to the user identification information.

In the above embodiment of the present disclosure regarding the voucher, after the user scans the barcode of the commodity to replace the voucher, when the corresponding commodity is settled, the server can implement verification of the voucher without user participation based on interaction between the cashing system and the server, so as to improve convenience in the process of acquiring and using the voucher by the user.

In one or more embodiments, the bonus resource information may specifically include red pack information.

Optionally, the server may determine, based on barcode information sent by the user terminal, red packet information corresponding to the barcode information according to a preset rule, and send the determined red packet to the user terminal.

The server may store the red package information in association with the user identification information of the user and the barcode information (or the commodity information indicated by the barcode information). The user identification information may be obtained from the user terminal simultaneously in the process that the server obtains the bar code information from the user terminal. In practical application, the step of sending the red packet information to the user terminal by the server and the step of storing the red packet information by the server may be performed synchronously or asynchronously, and the sequence of the two steps is not particularly limited.

In the scheme of the embodiment, the user can obtain the red packet only by carrying out code scanning operation once, and the user operation link is short and more convenient.

Optionally, the server may determine, based on barcode information sent by the user terminal, red packet information corresponding to the barcode information according to a preset rule, and send the red packet information to be retrieved to the user terminal; the user terminal displays the red packet information to be picked up, and after receiving the user picking up operation, the user terminal sends the red packet information corresponding to the user picking up operation to the server; the server receives the red package information corresponding to the user picking operation, and stores the red package information corresponding to the user picking operation corresponding to the user identification information of the user and the bar code information (or commodity information represented by the bar code information). In addition, the server can also feed back information for indicating that the red envelope is successfully picked up to the user terminal.

In the solution of this embodiment, the red packet information to be retrieved, which is sent by the server to the user terminal, may contain one or more pieces of red packet information. The red packet information corresponding to the user retrieving operation sent to the server by the user terminal may include at least part of the red packet information in the red packet information to be retrieved. Based on the scheme, the participation feeling of the user in the red envelope receiving process can be enhanced.

After the user terminal displays the page containing the red packet information, the method specifically may further include: the user terminal displays a corresponding page containing information of the red packet in the locking state, and the red packet amount corresponding to the red packet in the locking state cannot be used for payment by the user terminal. The fact that the user terminal cannot pay means that the user cannot use the amount of the red pack, and the fact that the user cannot use the amount of the red pack is specifically shown as being used for consumption, transfer, presentation and the like.

In the embodiment of the specification, after a user obtains a red packet by scanning a commodity bar code, the red packet is taken and cannot be used yet; and when the user purchases the corresponding commodity, the red packet can be disassembled and used.

After the user terminal displays the corresponding page containing the information of the red packet in the locked state, the method may further include: generating specific operation information based on specific operation, wherein the specific operation information is used for indicating that the user purchases the commodity corresponding to the red package information; transmitting the specific operation information to the server; and acquiring information of the red packet in an unlocking state returned by the server.

Wherein sending the specific operation information to the server may include: the user terminal sends the specific operation information to the server, or after the code scanning equipment of the cashing system acquires the specific operation information, the acquired specific operation information is sent to the server.

In practical applications, if the server receives a payment request about an order containing a target commodity (a commodity corresponding to the commodity barcode), it may indicate that the user who sent the payment request purchased the target commodity.

Specifically, the generating specific operation information based on the specific operation may specifically include: and generating a payment code for the second code scanning device to scan when commodity settlement is carried out based on the payment option triggering operation, and sending scanned payment code information to the server. In addition, the information that the red packet returned by the server is in an unlocking state is generated by the server based on the bar code information scanned by the first code scanning device when commodity settlement is carried out.

When commodity settlement is carried out, the first code scanning device of the cashing system can obtain bar code information after scanning the bar codes on the commodities, the second code scanning device of the cashing system can obtain payment code information after scanning the payment codes, and the payment code information can comprise user identification information (for example, user account identification information). After that, the cashing system can send the payment request information containing the user identification information and the bar code information to the server, so that the server can deduct money from an account corresponding to the user identification information and unlock the red packet stored corresponding to the user identification information. In the embodiment of the present specification, after unlocking the red pack, it means that the user can pay with the corresponding amount in the red pack.

In practical applications, there may be situations where the user is paying without the cashing system scanning the bar code of the merchandise, for example, by the consumer directly by scanning the merchant's cashing code. In this case, the user may unlock the retrieved red envelope by scanning the identification code on the inner package of the merchandise. Wherein, the identification code on the commodity inner package refers to the identification code which cannot be seen and scanned by a user before the user purchases and unpacks the commodity outer package. The user scans the identification code on the package within the merchandise, indicating that the user has purchased the merchandise.

The generating the specific operation information based on the specific operation may specifically include: identification scan information is generated based on a scan operation of an identification of a commodity inner package of the commodity. Then, the user terminal transmits the identification scanning information and the user identification information to the server, and the server can confirm that the user corresponding to the user identification information has purchased the commodity based on the transmitted identification scanning information, so that the red package corresponding to the user identification information can be unlocked. In an alternative embodiment, the identifier may specifically include a two-dimensional code.

After the server unlocks the red packet, the user terminal can acquire the information that the red packet returned by the server is in an unlocking state, specifically: the user terminal can acquire first information, wherein the first information is used for indicating that the red packet is detachable, so that the red packet can be detached by acquiring a red packet detaching operation of a user, namely, the corresponding amount of the red packet is issued to an account of the user; alternatively, the user terminal may obtain second information indicating that the corresponding amount of the red pack has been issued to the user's account.

The above describes a barcode scanning method from the perspective of a user terminal, based on which a server stores in advance a mapping relation between a commodity barcode and barcode related information, wherein the barcode related information includes link address information or page information of a specific page, the page information may include voucher information or red package information, when a user scans a commodity barcode on a commodity using the user terminal, a corresponding voucher or red package may be obtained, and further a corresponding voucher may be used when the commodity is purchased and settled, or a corresponding red package may be obtained after the commodity is purchased and settled. Based on the scheme, the original commodity bar code on the commodity outer package can be utilized to realize the purpose of issuing the voucher or the red package to the consumer user under the conditions of not increasing extra labor cost and not consuming extra material resources.

The following describes the solution of the embodiment of the present specification from the perspective of the server.

Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for sending bar code associated information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. From the program perspective, the execution subject of the flow may be a program installed on an application server.

As shown in fig. 3, the process may include the following steps.

Step 302: the method comprises the steps that a server obtains bar code information of an outer package of a commodity sent by a first application, namely, obtains bar code information sent by a user terminal; and the bar code corresponding to the bar code information is used for being scanned by the first code scanning equipment when the commodity is settled.

The first application is an application program installed on the user terminal and used for scanning the commodity bar code on the commodity outer package. The server is a server corresponding to the first application. The bar code corresponding to the bar code information, namely the bar code of the commodity on the commodity outer package, is used for scanning by the first code scanning equipment of the cashing system when the cashing system is used for settling accounts of the commodity. For example, the first code scanning device may comprise a code scanning gun.

The server obtains barcode information sent by the first application, which may specifically be: the server obtains the barcode information sent by the first application and analyzed from the barcode of the commodity, or may obtain the barcode image of the commodity containing the barcode information sent by the first application, so as to analyze the barcode information.

Step 304: and determining bar code associated information corresponding to the bar code information.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, before the server obtains the barcode information of the outer package of the commodity sent by the first application, the method may further include: the server stores the mapping relation between the bar code information and the bar code associated information; or storing the mapping relation between the commodity information corresponding to the bar code information and the bar code associated information. Therefore, after the server acquires the bar code information from the user terminal, the bar code associated information corresponding to the acquired bar code information can be determined according to the mapping relation.

Step 306: and returning the bar code associated information to the first application, namely returning the bar code information to the user terminal. So that the first application displays page information of the specific page according to the bar code association information.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the barcode related information may specifically include: link address information for a specific page; or, page information of the specific page.

The bar code associated information may specifically include: link address information for pages containing bonus resource information; or page information containing bonus resource information. The rewarding resource information specifically may include: voucher information or red envelope information.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may acquire the user identification information of the user while acquiring the barcode information sent by the first application. After that, after the barcode related information is determined, the mapping relationship among the user identification information, the barcode information (or the commodity information corresponding to the barcode information), and the voucher information or the red package information contained in the page information corresponding to the barcode related information may be stored in a server.

In an optional embodiment, if the bonus resource information corresponding to the bar code related information is a voucher, the server may further: acquiring commodity settlement information sent by cashier equipment; the commodity settlement information comprises the payment code information and a commodity bar code information list; after the bar code information of the commodity outer package sent by the first application is determined to be contained in the commodity bar code information list, corresponding deduction information is generated according to the voucher information in the commodity settlement process.

The cashier device refers to a device in a cashier system. The commodity settlement information refers to commodity settlement information of all purchased commodities when a consumer performs settlement by a cashing system. The commodity bar code information list refers to a list of bar code information of all purchased commodities when a consumer settles in a cashing system, wherein the list can contain bar code information of one or more commodities.

After receiving the user identification information and the commodity bar code information list sent by the cashing equipment, the server confirms whether the commodity bar code information list contains the previously stored voucher information corresponding to the user identification information, if so, calculates and determines deduction information based on the commodity settlement information and the voucher information, and returns the determined deduction information to the cashing equipment and the user terminal.

In an optional embodiment, if the barcode related information corresponds to the bonus resource information and is red package information, after determining the barcode related information corresponding to the barcode information, the method further includes: locking the red package amount corresponding to the red package information in a red package issuing account; the amount of the red package in the locked state cannot be taken to the user account of the red package for payment. The amount corresponding to the red package information is locked in the red package issuing account, which can be understood as storing the red package information corresponding to the user identification information. The package dispensing account may be an account belonging to a platform to which the first application belongs, or may be an account belonging to a user, and funds located in the package dispensing account may be viewable by the user but not available to the user, i.e., in a locked state.

After the server locks the red packet amount corresponding to the red packet information in the red packet issuing account, the server may further: acquiring specific operation information, wherein the specific operation information is used for indicating that a user account for acquiring the red packet purchases a commodity corresponding to the red packet information; and returning the information that the red packet is in an unlocking state to the first application.

Specifically, the acquiring the specific operation information may specifically include: and acquiring commodity settlement information sent by the cashing equipment, wherein the commodity settlement information is generated based on the fact that the first code scanning equipment scans the bar code of the commodity and the second code scanning equipment scans the payment code of the first application. After commodity settlement information sent by the cashing device is obtained, whether the commodity bar code information list contains bar code information of the commodity outer package sent by the first application can be determined, if yes, after commodity settlement, the locking red package corresponding to the user is unlocked, and information that the red package is in an unlocking state is returned to the first application.

In practical applications, there may be situations where the user is paying without the cashing system scanning the bar code of the merchandise, for example, by the purchasing user directly by scanning the merchant's cashing code. In this case, the user may unlock the retrieved red envelope by scanning the identification code on the inner package of the merchandise. Wherein, the identification code on the commodity inner package refers to the identification code which cannot be seen and scanned by a user before the user purchases and unpacks the commodity outer package. The user scans the identification code on the package within the merchandise, indicating that the user has purchased the merchandise.

Specifically, the acquiring the specific operation information may specifically include: acquiring identification scanning information sent by the first application; the identification scan information is generated based on a scan operation of the user terminal for an identification of a commodity inner package of the commodity using a first application. The identifier may specifically include a two-dimensional code.

After the server unlocks the red packet, the information that the red packet is in the unlocking state may be returned to the first application, which may specifically include: returning first information to the first application, wherein the first information is used for indicating that the red packet is detachable, so that the red packet can be detached by acquiring a red packet detaching operation of a user, namely, the corresponding amount of the red packet is issued to an account of the user; or, returning second information to the first application, wherein the second information is used for indicating that the corresponding amount of the red package is issued to the account of the user.

Step 512: optionally, if the step 510 sends the information of the red packet to be retrieved to the user terminal, the user terminal may acquire a retrieval operation of the user on the red packet, and determine the red packet that the user retrieves. If the step 510 is to send the retrieved red packet to the user terminal, then step 512 need not be performed.

Step 514: the platform server records the corresponding relation between the received user account information and bar code information and the retrieved red packet. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present specification, the retrieval of the red packet means that the user can view the red packet, but the payment cannot be made using the red packet, and only after the red packet is unlocked, the payment can be made.

It will be appreciated that the steps 510 to 514 of retrieving the red envelope disclosed in the embodiments of the present specification may also be used in the context of retrieving a coupon.

In fig. 6, step 602: the platform server stores the mapping relation between commodity bar code information and a page to be triggered and a red packet contained in the page in advance; and correspondingly stores the identification code information on the inner package of the commodity. In practical application, the commodity bar code information and the identification code information on the commodity inner package can be in one-to-one relation, for example, for the same commodity (namely, the commodity with identical specification, package, variety, color and the like), the commodity bar code information and the corresponding and unified inner package identification code information can be unified.

Step 604: the user uses the application program corresponding to the platform server on the user terminal to scan the commodity bar code.

Step 610: the platform server feeds back the corresponding page to be triggered to the user terminal so that the user terminal can display the page, and particularly, red packet information is displayed in the page. For example, the page to be triggered may be an applet page.

Step 612: optionally, if the step 610 sends the information of the red packet to be retrieved to the user terminal, the user terminal may acquire a retrieval operation of the user on the red packet, and determine the red packet that the user retrieves. If the step 610 is to send the retrieved red packet to the user terminal, then step 612 need not be performed.

Step 614: the platform server records the corresponding relation between the received user account information, commodity bar code information (or identification code information) and the retrieved red packet.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present specification, the retrieval of the red packet means that the user can view the red packet, but the payment cannot be made using the red packet, and only after the red packet is unlocked, the payment can be made.

Step 616: after the user purchases the target commodity, the user terminal is used for scanning the identification code on the commodity inner package.

Step 618: the user terminal transmits identification scanning information obtained by scanning the identification code on the inner package of the commodity to the server. In the practical application scene, the identification code on the commodity inner package can be scanned only after the user purchases the commodity, so that when the platform server receives the identification scanning information which is sent by the user and corresponds to the target commodity, the user can be determined to purchase the target commodity.

Step 620: and the platform server determines whether a locking red packet corresponding to the user account and the identification scanning information is stored according to the received identification scanning information and the user account information, and if so, unlocks the locking red packet.

Step 622: and the platform server sends information for indicating successful unlocking of the red packet to the user terminal.

In the embodiments of fig. 4 to 6, the order of part of the steps may be interchanged according to actual needs, or part of the steps may be omitted or deleted.

In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and identical and similar parts of each embodiment are all referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes differences from other embodiments.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements to one technology could clearly be distinguished as improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements to circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or software (improvements to the process flow). However, with the development of technology, many improvements of the current method flows can be regarded as direct improvements of hardware circuit structures. Designers almost always obtain corresponding hardware circuit structures by programming improved method flows into hardware circuits. Therefore, an improvement of a method flow cannot be said to be realized by a hardware entity module. For example, a programmable logic device (Programmable Logic Device, PLD) (e.g., a field programmable gate array (Field Programmable gate array, FPGA)) is an integrated circuit whose logic function is determined by the user programming the device. The designer programs itself to "integrate" a digital system onto a single PLD without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application specific integrated circuit chips. Moreover, nowadays, instead of manually manufacturing integrated circuit chips, such programming is mostly implemented by using "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used in program development and writing, and the original code before the compiling is also written in a specific programming language, which is called hardware description language (Hardware Description Language, HDL), but not just one of the hdds, but a plurality of kinds, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), lava, lola, myHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc., VHDL (Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog are currently most commonly used. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that a hardware circuit implementing the logic method flow can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flow into an integrated circuit using several of the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer readable medium storing computer readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC), programmable logic controllers, and embedded microcontrollers, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, atmelAT91SAM, microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller in a pure computer readable program code, it is well possible to implement the same functionality by logically programming the method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers, etc. Such a controller may thus be regarded as a kind of hardware component, and means for performing various functions included therein may also be regarded as structures within the hardware component. Or even means for achieving the various functions may be regarded as either software modules implementing the methods or structures within hardware components.
