In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, references to the terms "first \ second \ third" are only to distinguish similar objects and do not denote a particular order, but rather the terms "first \ second \ third" are used to interchange specific orders or sequences, where appropriate, so as to enable the embodiments of the application described herein to be practiced in other than the order shown or described herein.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

Before further detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be described, and the terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be used for the following explanation.

1) The cloud technology is a hosting technology for unifying series resources such as hardware, software, network and the like in a wide area network or a local area network to realize the calculation, storage, processing and sharing of data.

2) The cloud computing technology is a general name of a network technology, an information technology, an integration technology, a management platform technology, an application technology and the like based on cloud computing business model application, can form a resource pool, is used as required, and is flexible and convenient. Cloud computing technology will become an important support. Background services of the technical network system require a large amount of computing and storage resources, such as video websites, picture-like websites and more web portals. With the high development and application of the internet industry, each article may have its own identification mark and needs to be transmitted to a background system for logic processing, data in different levels are processed separately, and various industrial data need strong system background support and can only be realized through cloud computing.

3) Cloud Gaming (Cloud Gaming), also known as game on demand (Gaming), is an online Gaming technology based on Cloud computing technology. Cloud game technology enables light-end equipment with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high-quality games. In a cloud game scene, a game is not operated in a player game terminal but in a cloud server, and the cloud server renders the game scene into a video and audio stream which is transmitted to the player game terminal through a network. The player game terminal does not need to have strong graphic operation and data processing capacity, and only needs to have basic streaming media playing capacity and capacity of acquiring player input instructions and sending the instructions to the cloud server.

4) Subscription group: the subscription group is a space occupation concept provided by the application store for the content production accounts, the authorization behavior of the accounts in the application store for the subscription group can be converted into the subscription behavior of the accounts for the corresponding content production accounts, and the subscription group further comprises at least one target subscription service to respectively correspond to at least one target subscription type.

5) Target subscription type: the content production account provides multiple types of service content, so that different target subscription types are formed, the multiple target subscription types have different service content, and a hierarchical relationship may exist among the multiple target subscription types, for example, a target subscription type with a high hierarchy provides service content with more rights, or the multiple target subscription types are in an equal relationship and provide service content with different dimensions, respectively.

6) The content production account number: the content production account is an account for providing content services to a user through an application or an applet, for example, a main broadcasting account of a live broadcasting room, for example, a self-media account, such as a video uploading account, and the like, and the user can watch content produced by the accounts through subscribing the accounts.

In the related art, before an application store downloads or subscribes an application, the application store binds a corresponding subscription service to the application in advance, which can be understood as occupation in the application store, and an account number directly authorizes the subscription service to subscribe or download the application, and this way of binding occupation and application in advance limits the number of applications that can be put on shelf to the application store, and if a scheme of subscribing the application is applied to a scenario of subscribing a content production account number, it is difficult to put on a larger number of content production account numbers to the application store for account number subscription, so that in the related art, a dynamic binding way is adopted to provide a content production account number subscription function, see fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a subscription system of a virtual service in the related art, and a content production account number does not have a corresponding fixed subscription service, and is dynamically bound with the subscription service according to needs, for example, if there are a plurality of content production accounts, for example, content production account 1 — content production account n +1, when the user 1 subscribes to the content production account 1, one subscription service 01 that is not used by the user is automatically allocated to the content production account 1, and the number of content production accounts that the user can subscribe at the same time is the number of subscription services that can be provided by the platform (application store), for example, the upper limit value is 10000, but the platform may have no number limit on the number of content production accounts on the shelf.

The applicant finds that, when implementing the embodiment of the present application, an application store can provide not only content production account subscriptions but also fine-grained subscriptions of different types, see fig. 6, where fig. 6 is an interface schematic diagram of a subscription method for virtual services provided by the embodiment of the present application, a human-computer interaction interface 601 displays a plurality of target subscription types 602 of a content production account, and in response to a trigger operation of a user for a target subscription type of a content production account, the content production account can provide virtual services of a corresponding target subscription type to the user, because the virtual services provided by the same content production account have type differences, the number of virtual services provided by a platform is actually a multiple of the number of the content production accounts, and if the upper limit N is kept unchanged and a user wants to subscribe a plurality of different types of services of the same content production account at the same time, the number of content production accounts that the user can subscribe becomes smaller, in the related technology, the multi-type reservation service cannot be realized under the condition that the number of content production accounts subscribed by a user at the same time is ensured, and the subscription flexibility is low.

In view of the foregoing technical problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium for subscribing to a virtual service, which can efficiently manage a relationship between a content production account and a target subscription type through a subscription group and a target subscription service, and improve subscription flexibility and subscription efficiency of the virtual service.

In general, the computer programs described above may be any form of application, module or plug-in.

A subscription method for a virtual service provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in conjunction with an exemplary application and implementation of the server 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 5A, fig. 5A is a flowchart illustrating a subscription method for a virtual service provided in an embodiment of the present application, and will be described with reference to steps 101 to 104 shown in fig. 5A.

In step 101, a subscription request of a target account is acquired.

As an example, the subscription request includes a target subscription type for at least one content production account to be subscribed, each content production account providing services of a plurality of target subscription types.

By way of example, each content production account provides a plurality of target subscription types of service, e.g., content production account a provides 3 target subscription types of service, when the plurality of target subscription types correspond to a plurality of grades, the target subscription type with higher grade provides more service contents, for example, the target subscription type of level 1 provides services of watching live videos, the target subscription type of level 2 provides services of watching live videos and comment videos, the target subscription type of level 3 provides services of watching live videos, comment videos and participating in lottery drawings, when the plurality of item subscription types correspond to different service directions, the content production account can provide service contents with different dimensions, for example, the service content of the service corresponding to the target subscription type a is listening to a content production account broadcast, and the service content of the service corresponding to the target subscription type B is viewing a content production account video.

As an example, the subscription request may be for one content production account or multiple content production accounts, and specifically for each content production account, the subscription request may be for one target subscription type of the content production account or multiple target subscription types of a certain content production account, for example, a subscription request expects to subscribe to services of multiple target subscription types of the content production account a at the same time.

In step 102, at least one free subscription group in the application store is converted into an occupied subscription group respectively corresponding to at least one content production account.

As an example, each engaged subscription group includes a plurality of target subscription services of a target subscription type provided by the corresponding content production account. The content production account registered in the media application comprises a content production account A, a content production account B and a content production account C, if a subscription request is specific to the content production account A and the content production account B, two idle subscription groups in an application store need to be converted into occupied subscription groups respectively corresponding to the content production account A and the content production account B, the subscription groups can be understood as subscription occupancy provided by the application store, native channel payment is realized through the subscription occupancy, and therefore the service of the content production account is successfully subscribed.

In some embodiments, when an occupied subscription group corresponding to at least one content production account is not queried for a target account, at least one idle subscription group in the application store is converted into an occupied subscription group corresponding to at least one content production account, and when an occupied subscription group corresponding to at least one content production account is queried for a target account, a target subscription service matching the target subscription type is queried from the occupied subscription group corresponding to each content production account based on the target subscription type for each content production account.

As an example, the target subscription type 1 of the content production account a has been subscribed by the target account, and the subscription request expects to subscribe to the target subscription type 2 of the content production account a, so that the subscription group a is already bound to the subscription relationship between the target account and the content production account a, and a target subscription service matching the target subscription type 2 can be directly queried from the subscription group a without performing conversion of the subscription group.

In some embodiments, at least one of the following processes is performed: starting timing when the occupied subscription group is obtained through conversion, and converting the occupied subscription group into an idle subscription group when the timed time exceeds an occupied time threshold and the target subscription service is not updated to the subscribed service record of the target account; when the target subscription type of the content production account is unsubscribed, converting an occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account into an idle subscription group; the idle subscription group is a subscription group in the application store, which is in a standby state for the target account.

As an example, when the occupied subscription group is obtained by conversion, timing is started, and when the timed time exceeds an occupied time threshold and the target subscription service has not yet updated to the subscribed service record of the target account, the occupied subscription group is converted into an idle subscription group, for example, after the idle subscription group is converted into the occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account a, the subscription group is no longer in an idle state but is in an occupied state, and after the occupied subscription group is obtained by conversion, if payment processing has not yet been performed to successfully subscribe after exceeding the occupied time threshold, the subscription group needs to be released and converted into an idle state to become an idle subscription group, so that the target account of the user can subscribe the content production account by using the idle subscription group again.

As an example, when the target subscription type of the content production account is unsubscribed, the occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account is converted into an idle subscription group, for example, the target subscription type of level 1 of the content production account a has already been subscribed by the target account, if the subscription is due and not renewed, the target subscription type equivalent to level 1 of the content production account a is unsubscribed, the occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account a is converted into an idle subscription group, and if the target account subscribes multiple target subscription types of the content production account a at the same time, when all the target subscription types are cancelled, the occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account a is converted into an idle subscription group.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5B, fig. 5B is a flowchart illustrating a subscription method for a virtual service provided in this embodiment of the application, and the converting, in step 102, at least one idle subscription group in the application store into an occupied subscription group respectively corresponding to at least one content production account may be implemented through steps 1021 to 1022 shown in fig. 5B.

At step 1021, at least one free subscription group is queried from the application store.

As an example, the at least one idle subscription group is a subscription group in the application store that is in a pending state for the target account.

In some embodiments, querying the application store for at least one free subscription group in step 1021 may be implemented by: acquiring historical subscription records of a plurality of target account numbers corresponding to the same media application; acquiring the maximum number of content production accounts of the content production accounts subscribed by the target account from the historical subscription record aiming at each target account; averaging the maximum value of the number of the content production accounts of the plurality of target accounts to obtain the average number of the content production accounts; determining the number of the prediction subscription groups positively correlated to the number of the average content production accounts; requesting the application store to configure a number of subscription groups for the media application that is consistent with the predicted number of subscription groups; at least one free subscription group is queried from the configured plurality of subscription groups.

As an example, a history subscription record of the media application C corresponding to the target account a and the target account B is obtained, taking the target account a as an example for description, where the history subscription record of the target account a includes a subscription behavior and a subscription cancellation behavior, the number of content production accounts subscribed by the target account a at each time can be obtained from the history subscription record, for example, the number of content production accounts having a subscription relationship with the target account a in 8 months and 9 days is 10, the number of content production accounts having a subscription relationship with the target account a in 8 months and 10 days is 7, the number of content production accounts having a subscription relationship with the target account a in 8 months and 11 days is 12, and for each target account, the maximum value of the number of content production accounts subscribed by the target account a is obtained from the history record, that is, the maximum value of the number of content production accounts of the target account a is 12, averaging the maximum value of the number of content production accounts of the multiple target accounts to obtain the average number of content production accounts, for example, the maximum value of the number of content production accounts of the target account a is 12, the maximum value of the number of content production accounts of the target account B is 10, the average number of content production accounts is 11, determining the number of predicted subscription groups positively correlated with the average number of content production accounts, when subscribing to a content production account, if the content production account and the target account do not have a subscription relationship, binding an idle subscription group for the content production account to be subscribed for the user account, configuring multiple subscription groups corresponding to the number of predicted subscription groups for the media application, and querying at least one idle subscription group from the configured multiple subscription groups, wherein the multiple target accounts can be obtained by sampling, and the number of the configured group for the media application meets the content production subscription account number requirements of the multiple target accounts, i.e., sending a configuration request to a platform corresponding to the application store to perform subscription group configuration.

In step 1022, the binding process is performed on at least one content production account in one-to-one correspondence with at least one idle subscription group.

As an example, the binding process is used to convert each free subscription group to an occupied subscription group, the occupied subscription group being in an occupied state in the application store.

In some embodiments, the binding process of the at least one content production account and the at least one idle subscription group in step 1022 is performed in a one-to-one correspondence manner, which may be implemented by the following technical solutions: when the number of the at least one idle subscription group is not less than the number of the content production accounts, binding the at least one content production account and the at least one idle subscription group in a one-to-one correspondence manner; and when the number of the at least one idle subscription group is smaller than that of the content production accounts, binding the content production accounts with the target number and the at least one idle subscription group in a one-to-one correspondence manner, wherein the target number is the number of the at least one idle subscription group.

By way of example, when the number of at least one free subscription group is not less than the number of content production accounts, binding at least one content production account with at least one idle subscription group in a one-to-one correspondence, there are also 3 free subscription groups for the target account, for example, which desires to subscribe to content production account a and content production account B, binding the idle subscription group 1 with the content production account a, and binding the idle subscription group 2 with the content production account B, to obtain the occupied subscription group 1 of the content production account a and the occupied subscription group 2 of the content production account B, thereby forming two subscription relationships, namely, a subscription relationship a between the target account and the content production account a and a subscription relationship B between the target account and the content production account B, where the subscription relationship a includes an occupation subscription group 1, and the subscription relationship B includes an occupation subscription group 2.

As an example, when the number of at least one idle subscription group is less than the number of content production accounts, a target number of content production accounts and at least one idle subscription group are bound in a one-to-one correspondence manner, where the target number is the number of the at least one idle subscription group, for example, for a target account which also has 1 idle subscription group, and the target account desires to subscribe to a content production account a and a content production account B, the idle subscription group 1 is bound to the content production account a, so that 1 subscription relationship is formed, that is, the subscription relationship a of the target account and the content production account a includes the occupied subscription group 1, here, the idle subscription group 1 may also be bound to the content production account B, and since the number of the idle subscription groups is limited, only the content production account a or the content production account B may be bound.

In some embodiments, when a target number of content production accounts are bound with at least one idle subscription group in a one-to-one correspondence manner, acquiring a number difference value between the number of the idle subscription group and the number of at least one content production account to be subscribed; displaying prompt information to prompt the number difference and prompt the target account to initiate a secondary subscription request through other application stores; the secondary subscription request comprises content production accounts meeting the number difference, and other application stores and the application store issue at least one content production account through the same media application.

As an example, obtaining a number difference between the number of the idle subscription groups and the number of at least one content production account to be subscribed, for example, 1 idle subscription group exists for a target account, the target account desires to subscribe to a content production account a and a content production account B, binding the idle subscription group 1 with the content production account a, thereby forming 1 subscription relationship, that is, the subscription relationship a of the target account and the content production account a includes an occupied subscription group 1, where the idle subscription group 1 may also be bound with the content production account B, since the number of the idle subscription group is limited, only the content production account a or the content production account B can be bound, the number difference is 1, displaying a prompt message to prompt the number difference and prompt the target account to initiate a subscription request through other application stores, where the other application stores and the application store all issue at least one content production account through the same media application, that is, it is prompted that the number of idle subscription groups of the user corresponding to the target account is insufficient (the number difference is 1), or the number of content production accounts which can be subscribed by the target account reaches the upper limit, and the user may also be prompted to initiate a subscription request through another application store, for example, if the subscription request in step 101 is initiated based on the media application a of the IOS platform, the target account is prompted to initiate a subscription request from the media application a based on the android platform, and the number of content production accounts in the subscription request initiated through another application store is the number difference.

As an example, in a case where the number of idle subscription groups in a plurality of application stores is greater than or equal to the number of content production accounts to which the target account desires to subscribe, and the number of idle subscription groups in a single application store is less than the number of content production accounts to which the target account desires to subscribe, the target account may implement subscription of content production accounts through different application stores.

In step 103, based on the target subscription type for each content production account, a target subscription service matching the target subscription type is queried from the occupied subscription group corresponding to each content production account.

As an example, after the occupied subscription group is locked, a target subscription service matching the target subscription type needs to be determined, when a user requests to subscribe a content production account, the subscription type is specified, for example, the target subscription type is level 3, the price corresponding to the level 3 is 3 yuan, the server queries the target subscription service corresponding to the level with the price of 3 yuan from the locked occupied subscription group, and writes the queried target subscription service into the subscription relationship.

In step 104, the target subscription service queried according to the target subscription type of each content production account is updated to the subscribed service record of the target account.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5C, fig. 5C is a flowchart illustrating a subscription method for virtual services provided in this embodiment of the application, and step 104 updates a subscribed service record of a target account to a target subscription service queried according to a target subscription type of each content production account, which may be implemented through steps 1041 to 1042 shown in fig. 5C.

In step 1041, for each content production account, a subscription relationship corresponding to each content production account is generated based on the target account, the content production account, the occupied subscription group of the corresponding content production account, and the target subscription service.

In step 1042, a subscription fee deduction operation is performed based on the subscription relationship, and when the subscription fee deduction operation is successful, the target subscription service queried according to the target subscription type of each content production account is updated to the subscribed service record of the target account.

In some embodiments, the step 1042 is to update the subscribed service record of the target account to the target subscription service queried for the target subscription type of each content production account, and may be implemented by the following technical solution: obtaining effective time and service details of a target subscription service, and inquiring an occupied subscription group corresponding to the target subscription service; and updating the effective time, the service details and the content production account number correspondingly occupying the subscription group to the subscribed service record of the corresponding target account number.

As an example, when a target subscription service corresponding to a target subscription type (e.g. level) is queried in an occupied subscription group, the target subscription service is bound to the user, a content production account and the occupied subscription group to form a subscription relationship, the target subscription service corresponding to the target subscription service is paid based on the subscription relationship, i.e. the target subscription service is paid by using the capability provided by a platform (e.g. an android platform, an apple platform, etc.), the payment result is processed after the payment is completed, the platform provides the target subscription service to a server, the server searches for the occupied subscription group according to the target subscription service, each target subscription service belongs to a certain occupied subscription group, the occupied subscription group is found, the occupied subscription group is obtained, the occupied subscription group occupied by the user before the payment is found in a database, and the occupied subscription group is bound to a certain relationship in advance, and updating the information of the subscription group, the timestamp, the automatic charging state, the charging period ending time, the expiration time, the rights and the like to the subscribed service record.

In some embodiments, after a target subscription service queried according to a target subscription type of each content production account is updated to a subscribed service record of a target account, a subscription change request is obtained, where the subscription change request includes a target subscription type to be changed and a new target subscription type for at least one content production account; acquiring a target subscription service corresponding to a target subscription type to be changed from an occupied subscription group corresponding to a content production account; based on the new target subscription type of each content production account, inquiring new target subscription service matched with the new target subscription type from the occupied subscription group corresponding to each content production account; and replacing the target subscription service with the new target subscription service to update the subscribed service record of each content production account corresponding to the target account.

As an example, after a target account subscribes a certain content production account, a subscription group is bound to the content production account and the target account until the subscription is canceled, and meanwhile, the target account can change a target subscription type of the subscribed content production account, for example, level is increased or decreased or target subscription types with different dimensions are selected, the level is increased or decreased by taking 3 levels provided by the content production account a as an example, if the target account already subscribes a target subscription type of level 1, a target subscription service of the target subscription type of level 1 is found in the bound subscription group, after a subscription change request is obtained, a target subscription type to be changed and a new target subscription type are obtained, the target subscription type to be changed is the target subscription type of level 1, the new target subscription type is the target subscription type of level 3, and a target subscription type corresponding to the level 1 is obtained from an occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account a The target subscription service queries a new target subscription service matched with the target subscription type of the 3 rd level from an occupied subscription group corresponding to the content production account A based on the target subscription type of the 3 rd level of the content production account A, replaces the target subscription service with the new target subscription service to update a subscribed service record corresponding to each content production account of the target account, and also needs to cancel payment setting of the target subscription service during updating, for example, cancel automatic renewal of the target subscription service, and can also add payment setting of the new target subscription service during updating, for example, set automatic renewal of the new target subscription service, and renewal management is realized by a payment channel.

Referring to fig. 5D, fig. 5D is a flowchart illustrating a subscription method for a virtual service according to an embodiment of the present application, and will be described with reference to step 201 and step 202 shown in fig. 5D, where step 201 and step 202 are executed by a terminal.

In step 201, in response to a target subscription type subscription operation of the target account for at least one content production account, an authorization interface corresponding to the subscription operation is displayed.

As an example, each content production account provides a plurality of services of the targeted subscription type;

in step 202, in response to an authorization operation for the target subscription service at the authorization interface, a target subscription type virtual service for which the target account has subscribed to at least one content production account is displayed.

The target subscription service is provided by the application store for a target subscription type of at least one content production account, and is obtained by querying an occupied subscription group corresponding to each content production account based on the target subscription type of each content production account, and the occupied subscription group is obtained by converting at least one idle subscription group in the application store based on at least one content production account.

As an example, the processes of querying the target subscription service and converting at least one idle subscription group in the application store into an occupied subscription group based on at least one content production account may refer to the embodiments of steps 102 to 103.

For example, referring to fig. 6, a plurality of target subscription types 602 of content production accounts are displayed in a human-computer interaction interface 601, an authorization interface corresponding to a subscription operation is displayed in response to a subscription operation of a user for a target subscription type of a content production account, the authorization interface of the subscription operation includes an authorization control, information of a payment account of the target account, a target subscription type, a price of a target subscription service, information of the content production account, and the like, for example, the target subscription type is "silver level", the price of the target subscription service is 9.99 yuan, the authorization operation is a trigger operation for the authorization control, the authorization operation is a confirmation payment operation for the price of the target subscription service, and after payment is successful, a virtual service of the "silver level" of the content production account subscribed by the target account is displayed, and the virtual service includes a comment service, a lottery service, a virtual service, a method for identifying a service, a method for identifying a content production account, and a method for identifying a content for a method for a content, Viewing services, and the like.

An exemplary application of the subscription method for virtual services provided by the embodiment of the present application in an actual application scenario will be described below.

The processor of the computer device reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium, and executes the computer instructions, so that the computer device executes the subscription method for the virtual service described in the embodiment of the present application.

Embodiments of the present application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions, where the executable instructions are stored, and when executed by a processor, will be executed by the processor to perform a subscription method for a virtual service provided by embodiments of the present application, for example, the subscription method for a virtual service shown in fig. 5A to 5D.

In some embodiments, the computer-readable storage medium may be memory such as FRAM, ROM, PROM, EP ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, magnetic surface memory, optical disk, or CD-ROM; or may be various devices including one or any combination of the above memories.

In some embodiments, executable instructions may be written in any form of programming language (including compiled or interpreted languages), in the form of programs, software modules, scripts or code, and may be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment.

By way of example, executable instructions may correspond, but do not necessarily have to correspond, to files in a file system, and may be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data, such as in one or more scripts in a hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document, in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub-programs, or portions of code).

By way of example, executable instructions may be deployed to be executed on one computing device or on multiple computing devices at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.

In summary, after the subscription request is obtained, the idle subscription groups in the application store are converted into the occupied subscription groups respectively corresponding to the content production accounts, the target subscription service matched with the target subscription type is inquired from the occupied subscription group corresponding to each content production account based on the target subscription type of each content production account, so that the subscription service record is updated based on the target subscription service, the process of subscribing the content production accounts by the accounts is converted into the process of allocating the idle subscription groups to the accounts and the content production accounts, and the multi-type subscription of the content production accounts is realized based on the affiliation between the subscription groups and the target subscription service, so that the subscription flexibility of the virtual service is improved.

The above description is only an example of the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and scope of the present application are included in the protection scope of the present application.
