In an embodiment of the application, the first display device may provide a creation interface, and a user of the first display device may select a target video on the creation interface, input a target number of people, and trigger the first display device to generate a creation request. Illustratively, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a creation interface 810 provided by an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 8, the creation interface 810 includes an addition control 811, a number of people input box 812, a creation control 813, and a cancellation control 814, and a user of a first display device may click on the addition control 811 to trigger the first display device to add a target video and determine an identifier of the target video, input a target number of people in the number of people input box 812, and then click on the creation control 813 to trigger the first display device to generate a creation request. The process that the user of the first display device clicks the add control 811 to trigger the first display device to add the target video may include: after the user of the first display device clicks the add control 811, the first display device displays a candidate video interface, where the candidate video interface may include an identifier of at least one candidate video (e.g., a video name or a jacket photograph), and the user may select any candidate video as a target video according to the identifier of the at least one candidate video and add the target video. It should be noted that the user may also click the cancel control 814 to cancel the creation of the target auditorium service, and it is easily understood that, when the first display device is the smart television, the user of the first display device may click a control (e.g., the creation control 813) in the creation interface, where the user of the first display device triggers the creation control 813 through a remote controller of the first display device or a smart device (e.g., a mobile terminal) capable of controlling the first display device.

And step 702, the e-commerce server generates information to be paid according to the identification of the target video and the number of the target people carried by the creation request.

The e-commerce server can receive the creation request sent by the first display device corresponding to the first display device sending the creation request to the e-commerce server, and then the e-commerce server can generate information to be paid according to the identification of the target video and the target number of people carried by the creation request. Alternatively, the e-commerce server may determine the cost of the target video (e.g., the unit price of the target video) according to the identification of the target video, and generate the information to be paid according to the cost of the target video and the number of the target persons.

In the embodiment of the application, the e-commerce server may give a certain preference to the user according to the number of target persons and the cost of the target video (for example, the unit price of the target video), and the greater the number of target persons, the greater the preference, so that the total cost to be paid (that is, the total cost of the target video for the target auditorium service) is relatively less. Optionally, the e-commerce server may record a corresponding relationship between the video identifier, the number of people and the total charge, and the e-commerce server may query the corresponding relationship according to the identifier of the target video and the number of the target people to obtain charges corresponding to both the identifier of the target video and the number of the target people, and determine the charges corresponding to both the identifier of the target video and the number of the target people as the total charge of the target video for the service of the target exhibition hall, thereby generating the information to be paid.

And step 703, the e-commerce server sends the information to be paid to the first display device.

Alternatively, the e-commerce server may transmit the information to be paid to the first display device through a communication connection with the first display device.

And 704, generating and displaying a payment interface by the first display device according to the information to be paid.

The method comprises the steps that information to be paid is sent to a first display device corresponding to an e-commerce server, the first display device can receive the information to be paid sent by the e-commerce server, then a payment interface can be generated by the first display device according to the information to be paid, the payment interface is displayed, the payment interface can comprise an amount input box and a password input box, the amount input box is used for a user to input payment amount, and the password input box is used for the user to input a payment password. Optionally, the payment interface may further include a determination control, a cancellation control, and fee information, and the payment interface may also be referred to as a payment interface.

Illustratively, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a payment interface 910 of a first display device provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, the payment interface 910 includes fee information "xx elements are required to be paid in creating a minded auditorium", an amount input box 911, a password input box 912, a determination control 913 and a cancellation control 914, the amount input box 911 is used for a user to input a payment amount, and the password input box 912 is used for the user to input a payment password.

After the first display device displays the payment interface, a user of the first display device can carry out payment operation in the payment interface, and the first display device can respond to the payment operation of the user in the payment interface, generate a payment request and send the payment request to the e-commerce server through communication connection with the e-commerce server. The payment request may carry a payment amount and a payment password.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, a user of the first display device may enter a payment amount "xx element" in an amount entry box 911, enter a payment password in a password entry box 912, and click on a determination control 913 triggers the first display device to generate a payment request. It should be noted that the user of the first display device may also click the cancel control 914 to cancel the payment operation, and it is easily understood that, when the first display device is a smart television, the user of the first display device may click a control (e.g., the determination control 913) in the payment interface, where the user of the first display device triggers the determination control 913 through a remote controller of the first display device or a smart device (e.g., a mobile terminal) capable of controlling the first display device.

And step 706, the e-commerce server detects whether the payment of the target video is finished according to the information to be paid or not according to the payment request.

The e-commerce server may receive the payment request transmitted by the first display device corresponding to the first display device transmitting the payment request to the e-commerce server, and thereafter, the e-commerce server may detect whether the payment of the target video is completed according to the information to be paid according to the payment request. Alternatively, the e-commerce server may detect whether a payment amount carried by the payment request is equal to a total charge of the target video for the target auditorium service and whether a payment password carried by the payment request is the same as a target payment password (payment password of the first display device), and if the payment amount carried by the payment request is equal to the total charge of the target video for the target auditorium service and the payment password carried by the payment request is the same as the target payment password (payment password of the first display device), the e-commerce server determines that the payment of the cost of the target video is completed according to the information to be paid, otherwise, the e-commerce server determines that the payment of the cost of the target video is not completed according to the information to be paid.

And step 707, after determining that the payment of the target video is completed according to the information to be paid, the e-commerce server creates a target auditorium service according to the identification of the target video and the target number of people.

After determining that the cost payment of the target video is completed according to the information to be paid, the e-commerce server can create a target auditorium service according to the identification of the target video and the target number of people, wherein the target auditorium service is used for displaying the target video free of charge on the display device, and the maximum number of people allowed to be accessed by the target auditorium service is the target number of people.

And step 708, the e-commerce server generates an identifier of the target auditorium service.

After the e-commerce server creates the target auditorium service, an identifier can be generated for the target auditorium service, that is, the identifier of the target auditorium service is generated. Alternatively, the e-commerce server may assign an identifier to the targeted auditorium service according to certain rules, for example, generating identifiers for the targeted auditorium services according to the order of creation of the auditorium services. Illustratively, the identification of the target auditorium service may be FYID.

And step 709, the e-commerce server sends a right opening request to the video server, wherein the right opening request carries the identification of the target auditorium service and the identification of the target video.

After the e-commerce server generates the identifier of the target auditorium service, a rights and interests opening request can be generated according to the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the target video, and the rights and interests opening request is sent to the video server through communication connection between the e-commerce server and the video server. The right-to-offer request may carry an identifier of the target auditorium service and an identifier of the target video, and the right-to-offer request is used to request the video server to offer a play right of the target video for the target auditorium service. Optionally, the rights and interests opening request may also carry the target number of people, so that the video server can record the target number of people.

And step 710, the video server opens the play right of the target video for the service of the target auditorium according to the right opening request.

Optionally, the video server may bind and store the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the target video to open the play right of the target video for the target auditorium service. Optionally, the right offer request may also carry the target number of people, and the video server may also store the target number of people bound with the identifier of the target auditorium service, so that the video server records the maximum number of people that the target auditorium service allows to access.

Step 711, the video server generates a decryption key and an encryption key.

After the video server opens the play right of the target video for the service of the target exhibition hall, an encryption key and a decryption key can be generated, the encryption key and the decryption key are paired keys, the encryption key can be used for encrypting information transmitted between the e-commerce server and the video server, and the decryption key can be used for decrypting information transmitted between the e-commerce server and the video server.

Optionally, the encryption key and the decryption key may be the same or different, and the decryption key and the encryption key may be symmetric keys (i.e., the decryption key and the encryption key are the same), or may be asymmetric keys (i.e., the decryption key and the encryption key are the same), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

And step 712, the video server sends a right opening response to the e-commerce server, wherein the right opening response carries the encryption key.

After the video server opens the play right of the target video for the service of the target auditorium, a right opening response can be generated, the right opening response is sent to the e-commerce server through the communication connection between the video server and the e-commerce server, the right opening response can carry an encryption key, and the right opening response indicates that the play right of the target video is successfully opened by the service of the target auditorium.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is described as an example that the video server receives the right offer request and then offers the play right of the target video for the service of the target theater, the video server may not offer the play right of the target video for the service of the target theater, if the video server does not offer the play right of the target video for the service of the target theater, the video server may not send the right offer response to the e-commerce server, or the video server may send the right offer response indicating that the play right of the service of the target theater fails to be offered to the e-commerce server, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As will be readily appreciated from the foregoing description, steps 709 through 712 are processes in which the server opens the play rights for the target video for the target auditorium service.

Step 713, the e-commerce server sends the identification of the targeted auditorium service to the first display device.

The electronic commerce server can receive the right offer response sent by the video server corresponding to the video server sending the right offer response to the electronic commerce server, and then the electronic commerce server can send the identification of the target auditorium service to the first display device according to the right offer response.

Alternatively, the e-commerce server may generate a payment response from the identification of the targeted auditorium service and send the payment response to the first display device, the payment response carrying the identification of the targeted auditorium service.

Optionally, after receiving the entitlement opening response sent by the video server, the e-commerce server may store the target number of people and the identifier of the target auditorium service in a binding manner, so that the e-commerce server records the maximum number of people allowed to be accessed by the target auditorium service.

The first display device receives the identification of the target auditorium service, step 714.

The first display device may receive the identification of the target auditorium service transmitted by the e-commerce server, corresponding to the e-commerce server transmitting the identification of the target auditorium service to the first display device.

Optionally, the user of the second display device may also click the cancel control 1312, and the second display device may not respond to the click operation, so that the access request is not generated, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

And step 717, when the number of persons accessing the target auditorium service is determined to be less than the target number of persons, encrypting the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service according to the encryption key to obtain verification information.

The e-commerce server may receive the access request transmitted by the second display device corresponding to the second display device transmitting the access request to the e-commerce server, and then the e-commerce server may determine an identification of the target auditorium service and an identification of the second display device from the access request, detect whether the number of visitors of the target auditorium service is less than the target number of people according to the identification of the target auditorium service, and when the number of visitors of the target auditorium service is less than the target number of people, the e-commerce server may encrypt the identification of the second display device and the identification of the target auditorium service according to an encryption key recorded by the e-commerce server to obtain authentication information. The encryption key is generated for the E-business server by the video server when the E-business server opens the right to play the target video for the service of the target exhibition room on the video server, and the encryption key is used for encrypting information transmitted between the E-business server and the video server.

Alternatively, the e-commerce server may record a quota of the number of persons of the target theater service, the e-commerce server may decrease the quota of the number of persons of the target theater service by 1 every time the first display device successfully invites one user to access the target theater service, the e-commerce server may detect whether the quota of the number of persons of the target theater service is 0, the e-commerce server determines that the number of persons accessed by the target theater service is equal to the target number of persons if the quota of the number of persons of the target theater service is 0, and the e-commerce server determines that the number of persons accessed by the target theater service is less than the target number of persons if the quota of the number of persons of the target theater service is not 0.

Step 718, the e-commerce server generates a binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the second display device.

And the e-commerce server can receive the access request sent by the second display device corresponding to the second display device sending the access request to the e-commerce server, and then the e-commerce server can generate the binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the second display device according to the identifier of the target auditorium service carried by the access request and the identifier of the second display device. And the binding relation is used for the e-commerce server to push the operation content to the second display equipment according to the time information in the operation activity information in the process that the second display equipment plays the target video by accessing the target auditorium service.

And step 719, the e-commerce server sends an address acquisition request to the video server, wherein the address acquisition request carries verification information.

After the e-commerce server obtains the verification information, an address acquisition request can be generated according to the verification information, and the address acquisition request is sent to the video server through the communication connection with the video server. The address acquisition request carries verification information, and is used for acquiring a playing address of the target video.

And 720, the video server decrypts the verification information according to the decryption key to obtain the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service.

In response to the e-commerce server sending the address acquisition request to the video server, the video server may receive the address acquisition request sent by the e-commerce server, and the address acquisition request may carry authentication information obtained by the e-commerce server encrypting the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service according to the encryption key, as described above. After receiving the address acquisition request, the video server may decrypt the verification information in the address acquisition request according to the decryption key to obtain the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service. Wherein the decryption key and the encryption key in step 717 are paired, the decryption key and the encryption key being generated by the video server during the creation of the auditorium service.

Step 721, the video server generates an authentication token for the second display device when it is determined that the number of visitors to the target auditorium service is less than the target number.

After the video server obtains the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the second display device, whether the number of visitors of the target auditorium service is smaller than the target number of people can be determined according to the identifier of the target auditorium service, when the number of visitors of the target auditorium service is smaller than the target number of people, the video server generates an authentication token for the second display device, the authentication token can carry the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service, and the authentication token is used for playing authentication on the second display device, namely, the authentication token is used for verifying whether the second display device has the playing right of the target video.

Alternatively, the video server may record a quota of people for the target auditorium service, the first display device may decrease the quota of people for the target auditorium service by 1 for each successful invitation of a user to access the target auditorium service, the video server may detect whether the quota of people for the target auditorium service is 0, the video server determines that the number of people for the target auditorium service equals the target number of people if the quota of people for the target auditorium service is 0, and the video server determines that the number of people for the target auditorium service is less than the target number of people if the quota of people for the target auditorium service is not 0.

As will be readily understood from the foregoing description, the above-described steps 717 through 721 are the process in which the server generates the authentication token for the second display device during the access of the second display device to the target auditorium service.

In step 722, the video server allocates a play address of the target video to the second display device.

The video server may assign a play address of the target video to the second display device when it is determined that the number of visitors to the target auditorium business is less than the target number of people. In this embodiment, the playing addresses of the target videos allocated by the video server to different display devices may be different.

Step 723, the video server sends the authentication token of the second display device and the playing address of the target video to the e-commerce server.

After the video server generates the authentication token for the second display device and allocates the playing address of the target video, the video server can send the authentication token of the second display device and the playing address of the target video to the e-commerce server through communication connection with the e-commerce server.

And step 724, the E-commerce server sends the second display device authentication token and the playing address of the target video to the second display device.

The e-commerce server may receive the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video, which are transmitted by the video server, corresponding to the video server transmitting the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video to the e-commerce server, and then the e-commerce server may transmit the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video to the second display device through a communication connection with the second display device.

It is easily understood that steps 723 to 724 may be a process in which the video server transmits the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video to the second display device through the e-commerce server.

Step 725, when detecting the play instruction triggered by the play address of the target video, the second display device sends an authentication request to the video server, where the authentication request carries an authentication token of the second display device.

The second display device may receive the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video, which are transmitted from the e-commerce server, corresponding to the e-commerce server transmitting the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video to the second display device. Then, the user of the second display device may trigger a play instruction for the play address of the target video, and when detecting the play instruction triggered by the play address of the target video, the second display device may generate an authentication request according to the authentication token of the second display device, and send the authentication request to the video server. The authentication request may carry an authentication token of the second display device, and the authentication request is used to request the video server to perform playback authentication on the second display device. Alternatively, the second display device may send an authentication request to the video server through the e-commerce server.

Optionally, after receiving the authentication token of the second display device and the play address of the target video, the second display device may store the authentication token of the second display device and display the play address of the target video, and a user of the second display device may click the play address of the target video displayed by the second display device to trigger a play instruction for the play address of the target video. It is easy to understand that when the second display device is the smart television, the user of the second display device clicking the play address of the target video displayed by the second display device may be that the user of the second display device triggers the play address of the target video through a remote controller of the second display device or a smart device capable of controlling the second display device.

And 726, the video server performs play authentication on the second display device according to the authentication request.

The video server may receive the authentication request sent by the second display device corresponding to the authentication request sent by the second display device, and then the video server may perform playback authentication on the second display device according to the authentication request. The authentication request may carry an authentication token of the second display device, and the video server may analyze the authentication request to obtain the authentication token of the second display device, and perform playback authentication on the second display device according to the authentication token of the second display device.

Optionally, the authenticating token of the second display device carries an identifier of the second display device and an identifier of the target auditorium service, and the playing authentication performed by the video server on the second display device according to the authenticating token of the second display device may include: the video server detects whether the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service are recorded in the video server, if the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service are recorded in the video server, the authentication is successful, and if at least one of the identifier of the second display device and the identifier of the target auditorium service is not recorded in the video server, the authentication is failed.

Alternatively, the video server may compare the identifier of the second display device with the identifier of the display device recorded in the video server to detect whether the identifier of the second display device is recorded in the video server, and compare the identifier of the target auditorium service with the identifier of the auditorium service recorded in the video server to detect whether the identifier of the target auditorium service is recorded in the video server.

Step 727, the video server sends the authentication result to the second display device.

After the video server performs playing authentication on the second display device, the video server may send an authentication result to the second display device, where the authentication result may indicate that the authentication on the second display device is successful or that the authentication on the second display device is failed. Optionally, the video server may send the authentication result to the second display device through the e-commerce server.

Step 728, if the authentication result indicates that the video server successfully authenticates the second display device, the second display device accesses the service of the target video studio to play the target video for free according to the playing address of the target video.

And the second display device can receive the authentication result sent by the video server corresponding to the authentication result sent by the video server to the second display device, and then, if the authentication result indicates that the video server successfully authenticates the second display device, the second display device accesses the target auditorium service according to the playing address of the target video to play the target video free. It is easily understood that if the authentication result indicates that the video server fails to authenticate the second display device, the second display device cannot access the target auditorium service, and thus cannot play the target video for free by accessing the target auditorium service.

The above embodiment shown in fig. 12 describes a process of the first display device inviting the second display device to access the target auditorium service, which finishes the process of the first display device inviting the second display device to access the target auditorium service, and then describes a process of the server provided in the embodiment of the present application pushing the operation content to the second display device in the process of the second display device accessing the target auditorium service.

Illustratively, fig. 14 is a flowchart of a method for pushing, by a server, operation content to a second display device during a process that the second display device accesses a target auditorium service, where the method may be used in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 14, the method may include the following steps:

step 729, the first display device receives input operation activity information, where the operation activity information includes operation content and time information, and the time information indicates a time when the operation content is pushed to the first display device and/or the second display device during the process that the first display device and/or the second display device plays the target video through accessing the target auditorium service.

The user of the first display device may input the operation activity information on the first display device, and the first display device may receive the operation activity information input by the user. Optionally, the first display device may record an operation activity condition, and the user of the first display device may input operation activity information on the first display device according to the operation activity condition. Wherein the operation activity information includes operation content and time information, the time information indicates a moment of pushing the operation content to the first display device and/or the second display device in the process that the first display device and/or the second display device plays the target video through accessing the target auditorium service, and the operation content can be commodity information (such as a purchase link of a certain commodity), advertisement information (such as a pre-sale advertisement of a certain commodity) or activity preheating information (such as an advertisement of a certain activity).

Step 730, the first display device sends the operation activity information to the e-commerce server.

After receiving the operation activity information input by the user, the first display device can send the operation activity information to the e-commerce server through the communication connection with the e-commerce server.

And 731, generating the binding relationship between the identification of the target auditorium service and the operation activity information by the e-commerce server.

The e-commerce server may receive the operation activity information transmitted by the first display device corresponding to the first display device transmitting the operation activity information to the e-commerce server, and then the e-commerce server may bind and store the identifier of the target auditorium service with the operation activity information to generate a binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the operation activity information.

It should be noted that, before generating the binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the operation activity information, the e-commerce server may determine the validity of the operation activity information. Optionally, the e-commerce server may record an operation activity condition, the e-commerce server may detect whether the operation activity information satisfies the operation activity condition, if the operation activity information satisfies the operation activity condition, the e-commerce server determines that the operation activity information is legal, and if the operation activity information does not satisfy the operation activity condition, the e-commerce server determines that the operation activity information is illegal. Or, optionally, the e-commerce server may send the operation activity information to a background display device, the background display device displays the operation activity information, and a background worker checks the validity of the operation activity information displayed by the background display device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 732, the e-commerce server pushes the operation content to the first display device and/or the second display device according to the time information according to the binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the operation activity information in the process that the first display device and/or the second display device plays the target video by accessing the target auditorium service.

In the process that the first display device and/or the second display device plays the target video by accessing the target auditorium service, the e-commerce server can determine the operation activity information corresponding to the target auditorium service according to the binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the operation activity information, and push the operation content to the first display device and/or the second display device according to the time information in the operation activity information.

In the embodiment of the present application, as described above, the first display device may be a display device that creates the target auditorium service, and the second display device is a display device that is invited by the first display device to access the target auditorium service. The e-commerce server may record an identifier of a display device (i.e., a device identifier of the first display device) that creates the target auditorium service, and in the process of playing the target video by the first display device through accessing the target auditorium service, the e-commerce server may determine the first display device according to the identifier of the first display device and push the operation content to the first display device. The e-commerce server may record a binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the second display device, determine the second display device accessing the target auditorium service according to the binding relationship between the identifier of the target auditorium service and the identifier of the second display device, and push the operation content to the second display device.

Illustratively, the display device playing the target video by accessing the target auditorium service includes a display device 1, a display device 2 and a display device 3, and the operation activity information may include (xx time, purchase link of article a) and (yy time, advertisement of B activity), then in the process of playing the target video by accessing the target auditorium service by the display device 1, the display device 2 and the display device 3, at xx time played to the target video, the e-commerce server pushes the purchase link of article a to the display device 1, the display device 2 and/or the display device 3, and at yy time played to the target video, the e-commerce server pushes advertisement of B activity to the display device 1, the display device 2 and/or the display device 3.

Step 733, the first display device and/or the second display device displays the operation content.

The first display device and/or the second display device may receive the operation content and display the operation content corresponding to the e-commerce server pushing the operation content to the first display device and/or the second display device.

Taking the example that the second display device displays the operation content, optionally, the second display device may display the operation content in a form of inserting an advertisement, or may display the operation content in a form of bullet screen, which is not limited in this application. Wherein, displaying the operation content in the form of inserting the advertisement may be: in the process of playing the target video, inserting the operation content into the target video for displaying, for example, inserting the advertisement playing the B campaign at yy moment of playing the target video, and continuing to play the target video after playing the advertisement playing the B campaign; displaying the operation content in the form of a bullet screen may be: in the process of playing the target video, the target video is displayed in the video layer, the operation content is displayed in the suspension layer, the suspension layer is relatively independent from the video layer, so that the barrage file is relatively independent from the target video, the operation content displayed in the form of a barrage is relatively independent from the target video, the target video is continuously played without being stopped in the process of displaying the operation content in the form of a barrage, for example, at the xx moment when the target video is played, the purchase link of the commodity A is suspended on the target video for display.

For example, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a play interface 1510 provided in an embodiment of the present application, where fig. 15 illustrates that an operation content is displayed in a bullet screen, as shown in fig. 15, an XX video (i.e., a picture of an XX video) 1511 and an operation content 1512 are displayed in the play interface 1510, the operation content 1512 may be a purchase link of a skirt, the XX video 1511 may be displayed in a video layer, the operation content 1512 may be displayed in a suspension layer, and the suspension layer may be suspended on the video layer. Optionally, the playback interface 1510 further includes a close control 1513, and the user can click the close control 1513 to close the operation content 1512. It is easily understood that if the user does not turn off the operation content 1512, the display device (e.g., the second display device) may turn off the operation content 1512 after the display device displays the operation content 1512 for a fixed time period, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.
