Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It is noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

Where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B and C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B and C" would include but not be limited to systems that have a alone, B alone, C alone, a and B together, a and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, C together, etc.).

In real life, a merchant usually feeds back old customers and expands new customers by issuing coupons on a special day such as sales promotion and anniversary, and controls a certain amount of coupons, for example, during a certain event, the merchant can plan a total amount of coupons of 50 units of money by issuing one thousand coupons of 100 to 50. However, in practice there may be circumstances where the use of coupons is rendered inefficient:

1) the user who receives the coupon may find that the purchased goods do not reach the condition of full reduction in the subsequent settlement, and abandon the purchase, thereby wasting the coupon amount.

2) In order to use the coupon, the user who receives the coupon purchases part of the commodities which are not wanted to purchase, so that the experience of the user is reduced.

3) Some users may not receive the coupon, and want to purchase some goods through the discount activity, and as a result, only the purchasing behavior can be abandoned, and the consumption is not effectively stimulated.

In the above situation, the use efficiency of the coupon is reduced. For the merchant, the planned total preferential amount can not be well realized through the coupon, and the original intention that the merchant feedbacks the old customer and attracts the new customer is violated.

In the prior art, there is a technical scheme that the system adopts a discount mode to realize the feedback activities, and commodities and quantity participating in the activities can be planned in advance according to planned preferential limit to control the final discount without seriously deviating from the planned preferential limit. In the prior art, another technical scheme that the system adopts a discount mode to realize the feedback activities is provided, and the accumulated value of the preferential amount can be controlled through the planned preferential amount, but in this mode, when the system operation efficiency is considered, the planned preferential amount is hashed to different areas, namely scattered hotspots, but the actual participation condition of customers in each area may not be matched with the allocated amount, some areas run out of the amount in advance, and some areas have surplus amounts finally, so that the activities of the areas finally cannot well realize the purpose of planning the preferential amount of the merchant.

The present disclosure provides a coupon sharing method, including: responding to a coupon generation event, generating at least one coupon record, storing the coupon record in a coupon record table, wherein the coupon record table comprises a coupon attribute field and a coupon use amount field, the coupon record comprises a coupon attribute and a coupon use amount which respectively correspond to the coupon attribute field and the coupon use amount field, and setting the coupon attribute as a normal coupon; responding to a coupon sharing event of a first user, determining that the coupon attribute of a coupon record is a shared coupon, and generating a first coupon sharing record, wherein the first coupon sharing record comprises a first coupon sharing amount corresponding to a first coupon sharing amount field; generating a second coupon sharing record in response to the coupon sharing event of the at least one second user, the second coupon sharing record including a second coupon sharing amount corresponding to the second coupon sharing amount field; and matching the first coupon sharing record with at least one second coupon sharing record until the sum of the first coupon sharing amount and the second coupon sharing amount of the at least one second coupon sharing record is larger than or equal to the coupon use amount, and successfully matching.

The coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure can generate and match corresponding coupon sharing records (that is, match the first coupon sharing record with at least one second coupon sharing record) according to the coupon sharing events of the first user and the second user, and when it is determined that the sum of the first coupon sharing amount of the first user and the second coupon sharing amount of at least one second user is greater than or equal to the coupon usage amount, the usage condition of the shared coupon can be met, and the matching is successful, so that the first user and the at least one second user can share the same coupon under the condition that the first user and the at least one second user respectively do not meet the usage condition of one coupon, and the usage efficiency of the coupon is improved.

It should be noted that the coupon sharing method and apparatus determined in the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of computer technology, and may be used in the financial field, and may also be used in any field other than the financial field.

In addition, in the technical scheme of the disclosure, the acquisition, storage, application and the like of the personal information of the related user all conform to the regulations of related laws and regulations, necessary security measures are taken, and the customs of the public order is not violated.

It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers, as desired for implementation.

The coupon sharing method of the disclosed embodiment will be described in detail through fig. 2 to 10 based on the scenario described in fig. 1.

FIG. 2 schematically shows a flow diagram of a coupon sharing method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the coupon sharing method 200 of this embodiment includes operations S210 to S240.

In operation S210, at least one coupon record is generated in response to the coupon generation event, the coupon record is stored in the coupon record table, and the coupon attribute is set to a normal coupon.

The coupon record table includes a coupon attribute field and a coupon usage amount field, and the coupon record includes a coupon attribute and a coupon usage amount corresponding to the coupon attribute field and the coupon usage amount field, respectively.

The coupon generation event may include, for example, the merchant issuing a coupon on a promotional date. In the coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure, the coupon can be understood as a full minus coupon, that is, the monetary amount of the full X amount can be reduced by the monetary amount of the Y amount, and the usage amount of the coupon is X. For example, a full minus coupon, full 100 minus 30, may be used in an amount of 100 units of currency.

In operation S220, in response to a coupon sharing event of a first user, a coupon attribute of one coupon record is determined to be a shared coupon, and a first coupon shared record is generated.

The coupon record table further includes a first coupon share amount field, the first coupon share record including a first coupon share amount corresponding to the first coupon share amount field.

In operation S230, a second coupon sharing record is generated in response to a coupon sharing event of at least one second user.

The coupon record table further includes a second coupon share amount field, the second coupon share record including a second coupon share amount corresponding to the second coupon share amount field.

In operation S240, the first coupon sharing record is matched with the at least one second coupon sharing record until the sum of the first coupon sharing amount and the second coupon sharing amount of the at least one second coupon sharing record is greater than or equal to the coupon use amount, and the matching is successful.

It should be noted that "the sum of the first coupon sharing amount and the second coupon sharing amount of the at least one second coupon sharing record is greater than the coupon usage amount" in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be understood as that the sum of the first coupon sharing amount and the second coupon sharing amount of the at least one second coupon sharing record is greater than the coupon usage amount, and the difference between the sum of the corresponding coupon sharing amounts of the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record and the coupon usage amount is not greater than the second coupon sharing amount of any one second coupon sharing record, and the matching is successful (if the difference between the sum of the corresponding coupon sharing amounts of the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record and the coupon usage amount is greater than the second coupon sharing amount of a certain second coupon sharing record, the second coupon sharing record may be matched with other first coupon sharing records, second coupon sharing records).

Illustratively, for example, the coupon usage amount is 100 units of currency, the coupon is a full minus coupon which is full 100 minus 30, the first coupon sharing amount of one first coupon sharing record a1 is 20 units of currency, there are three second coupon sharing records B1, B2 and B3, and the corresponding second coupon sharing amounts are 50, 35 and 20, respectively.

Wherein the sum 125(20+50+30+20) of the second coupon share amount of the three second coupon share records B1, B2, B3 and the first coupon share amount of the first coupon share record a1 is greater than the coupon use amount 100, the difference between the sum 125 of the respective coupon share amounts of the three second coupon share records B1, B2, B3, first coupon share record a1 and the coupon use amount 100 is 25, and the difference 25 is greater than the second coupon share amount 20 of the second coupon share record B3 of the three second coupon share records B1, B2, B3, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the three second coupon share records B1, B2, B3 and the first coupon share record a1 cannot be successfully matched.

The sum 105 of the second coupon share amount of the two second coupon share records B1, B2 and the first coupon share amount of the first coupon share record a1 is also greater than the coupon use amount 100, the difference between the sum 105 of the corresponding coupon share amounts of the two second coupon share records B1, B2 and the first coupon share record a1 and the coupon use amount 100 is 5, and the difference 5 is not greater than any one of the three second coupon share records B1, B2 and B3, so that the two second coupon share records B1 and B2 and the first coupon share record a1 can be successfully matched.

It should be appreciated that a first user corresponding to a first coupon sharing record may share the same shared coupon with at least one second user corresponding to at least one second coupon sharing record after a successful match.

For a user side, the situations that the coupon is not consumed when being received, the coupon is not distributed and used in a non-adaptive mode and the like can be avoided, the coupon is used to the maximum extent, commodity purchase is facilitated, and the coupon using experience of the user is improved. For a merchant party, coupons can be generated quantitatively according to planned preferential amount, compared with a sales promotion mode of the coupons, regional limitation can be broken through, users in various regions can actively use the coupons, actual participation conditions of the users in various regions are guaranteed to be matched with allocated amount, the planned preferential amount can be completed better, the purpose of feeding back the users is achieved, and the implementation effect of the marketing strategy of the merchant coupon activity is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, according to a coupon sharing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, operation S240 may include: operation S41-operation S42.

In operation S41, it is determined that the sum of the first coupon share amount and the second coupon share amount of the at least one second coupon share record is a first matching basis.

In operation S42, when the first matching basis is greater than the coupon use amount, it is determined that the difference between the first matching basis and the coupon use amount is a secondary matching basis.

The coupon sharing method supports incomplete matching between the first matching basis and the usage amount of the coupon (complete matching can be understood as the condition that the first matching basis is equal to the usage amount of the coupon, incomplete matching can be understood as the condition that the first matching basis is larger than the shared coupon, namely the usage condition of the shared coupon is met, and the first matching basis is not equal to the usage amount of the coupon), can split the first matching basis, partially match the first matching basis with the usage amount of the coupon, improve the matching success rate of the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record, and improve the coupon sharing efficiency.

For example, in the above example, the sum 105 of the respective coupon share amounts of the two second coupon share records B1, B2 and the first coupon share record a1 is the first matching basis, and the difference 5 between the first matching basis 105 and the coupon use amount 100 is the second matching basis.

The second matching basis can be understood as the basis of the next matching compared to the current matching, and multiple times of matching can be performed and multiple second matching bases can be determined in the process of realizing complete matching.

Fig. 4 shows a coupon sharing method 300 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, which may further include: operation S310 to operation S340.

In operation S310, a first standard dollar amount of a first coupon usage event of a first user is determined in response to the first coupon usage event.

Illustratively, the first coupon usage event may comprise, for example, a first user settling a merchandise order, and the first standard dollar value of the first coupon usage event may comprise an dollar value of the merchandise order.

In operation S320, a corresponding first coupon use combination is determined according to the first standard amount, and when the first coupon use combination includes a shared coupon, a coupon sharing event of the first user is generated.

It should be appreciated that a corresponding first coupon usage combination may be determined according to a first criterion amount, for example, the first criterion amount is 320, and when only one full-reduced coupon with the full-reduced rule of 100 minus 30 is determined, three full-reduced coupons with 100 minus 30 and a first coupon usage combination of a shared coupon are determined, and the first coupon usage combination includes a shared coupon, then a coupon sharing event of the first user may be generated. Of course, when the full subtraction coupon includes multiple full subtraction rules, the full subtraction coupons of different full subtraction rules may also be used in combination, and will not be described herein again.

In operation S330, a second standard dollar amount of a second coupon usage event of a second user is determined in response to the second coupon usage event.

Illustratively, the second coupon usage event may comprise, for example, a second user settlement of the merchandise order, and the second standard dollar value of the second coupon usage event may comprise an dollar value of the merchandise order.

In operation S340, a corresponding second coupon use combination is determined according to a second standard amount, and when the shared coupon is included in the second coupon use combination, a coupon sharing event of a second user is generated.

Similar to determining the corresponding first coupon use combination according to the first standard amount, the corresponding second coupon use combination may be determined according to the second standard amount, which is not described herein again.

The coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure can determine corresponding coupon use combinations according to the corresponding coupon use events of the first user and the second user, generate corresponding coupon sharing events according to the corresponding coupon use combinations, further generate corresponding coupon sharing records, perform matching, and share the same shared coupon when matching is successful. Namely, the corresponding first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record can be reasonably matched according to the corresponding coupon use events of the first user and the second user, so that the matching accuracy of the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record is improved, and the use efficiency of the coupons is improved.

For example, a first coupon usage combination for a first standard amount of money or a second coupon usage combination for a second standard amount of money may be determined according to the following formula:

D＝T*M+G，

r is M + N, wherein T > G > is 0, N > is 0, and N is an integer,

wherein D represents a first standard amount or a second standard amount, T represents a coupon use amount, G represents a first coupon sharing amount or a second coupon sharing amount, M represents the number of normal coupons, N represents the number of shared coupons, and R represents the number of coupons of a first coupon use combination or the number of coupons of a second coupon use combination.

Still take the example that the first standard amount is 320 and the full-minus rule of the full-minus coupon is 100 minus 30, that is, if the coupon use amount is 100, 320 is 100 × 3+20, the first coupon share amount is 20, and the number of coupons of the first coupon use combination is 4, including three normal coupons and one shared coupon.

It should be understood that, in the above embodiment, there is also a case where there is an incomplete match between the first matching basis and the usage amount of the coupon, and a second matching basis may be generated, and the number of the shared coupons is increased correspondingly in the process of matching the second matching basis. Therefore, the number N of shared coupons is equal to or greater than 0, and is an integer, as is the number M of normal coupons, the number of coupons of the first coupon use combination, or the number of coupons of the second coupon use combination.

For example, taking the second standard amount of 220 and the full-minus rule of the full-minus coupon as 100 minus 30 as an example, that is, the usage amount of the coupon is 100, then 220 is 100 × 2+20, the second coupon share amount is 20, if only one first coupon share record exists, and the corresponding first coupon share amount is 90, the sum 110 of the second coupon share amount 20 and the first coupon share amount 90 is greater than the usage amount of the coupon, 100, matching is successful, one shared coupon may be used, and the difference 10 between the second coupon share amount 20, the sum 110 of the first coupon share amount 90 and the usage amount of the coupon 100 may be used as a second matching basis, after the second matching basis is completely matched, another coupon may be used, and the corresponding usage group of the coupons is two normal coupons and two shared coupons.

As shown in fig. 5, according to a coupon sharing method according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the coupon record table may further include a matching state field, the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record may each include a matching state corresponding to the matching state field, the matching state may include a to-be-matched state and a matched state, and the matching of the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record of operation S240 may include operation S43.

In operation S43, the first coupon share record and the second coupon share record whose matching state is the to-be-matched state are matched.

According to the coupon sharing method, the to-be-matched state and the matched state are distinguished, the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record can be accurately matched, and the situation that the same first coupon sharing record is repeatedly matched or the same second coupon sharing record is repeatedly matched is avoided, so that the use of the shared coupons is influenced.

Fig. 6 illustrates a coupon sharing method 400 according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the coupon record table may further include a coupon common status field, the coupon record may further include a coupon common status corresponding to the coupon common status field, the coupon common status may include a lock status, and the coupon sharing method 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include operations S410 to S420.

In operation S410, in response to a coupon sharing event of a first user, a coupon common state of a normal coupon corresponding to a first coupon use combination and/or a coupon common state of a shared coupon is set to a locked state.

Illustratively, when the first coupon use combination only comprises normal coupons, setting the coupon universal state of the corresponding normal coupons as a locking state; when the first coupon use combination only comprises the shared coupon, setting the general coupon state of the corresponding shared coupon as a locking state; and when the first coupon use combination comprises the normal coupon and the shared coupon, setting the coupon universal state of the corresponding normal coupon and the coupon universal state of the corresponding shared coupon as a locking state.

In operation S420, in response to the coupon sharing event of the second user, the coupon common state of the normal coupon corresponding to the second coupon use combination is set to the locked state.

The coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure can lock the corresponding coupons when the first user and the second user use the coupons, so as to avoid conflict of using the coupons with other users.

It should be noted that, in response to a coupon sharing event of a first user, a shared coupon is determined and locked first, and the shared coupon needs to be shared with other second users to meet the usage condition of the coupon, so that the second user only needs to determine a second coupon sharing record that can be matched with the first coupon sharing record of the first user without locking the same coupon, and can only lock a normal coupon corresponding to the second coupon usage combination.

Fig. 7 schematically illustrates a coupon sharing method 500 according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, which may further include: operation S510 to operation S520.

In operation S510, in response to setting the coupon common state of the shared coupon to the lock state, the matching state of the first coupon shared record is set to a to-be-matched state.

In operation S520, in response to generating the second coupon sharing record, the matching state of the second coupon sharing record is set to a to-be-matched state.

It should be appreciated that a shared coupon may be determined and locked based on the first user's coupon sharing event, that the first shared coupon usage amount of only the first user does not meet the shared coupon usage condition, that a match is required, the second coupon sharing record of the second user may be matched before the usage condition of the shared coupon locked by the first user is reached, the coupon sharing method of the disclosed embodiment thus responds to setting the coupon common state of the shared coupon to be the locked state, setting the matching state of the first coupon sharing record to be the to-be-matched state, and the second user may not lock the shared coupon, and thus may set the matching status of the second coupon shared record to the to-be-matched status in response to generating the second coupon shared record, to reasonably determine the matching status of the first coupon sharing record and the matching status of the second coupon sharing record.

As shown in fig. 8, a coupon sharing method 600 according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: operations S610 to S660.

In operation S610, in response to setting the coupon common state of the shared coupon to the locked state, one first shared coupon detail record and at least one second shared coupon detail record are added.

In operation S620, the first shared coupon detail record is set to be identical to the corresponding first coupon shared record.

The first shared coupon detail record is consistent with the corresponding first coupon sharing record, and it can be understood that the first coupon sharing amount, the to-be-matched state and other contents corresponding to the corresponding fields of the coupon record table of the first coupon sharing record are all given to the first shared coupon detail record.

In operation S630, a difference value of the shared coupon use amount and the first coupon shared amount is determined as a target amount.

At operation S640, at least one second coupon share record, the sum of which is equal to the target amount, is determined as the target detail record.

In operation S650, the second shared coupon detail record is set to be identical to the target detail record.

In operation S660, the matching state of the first coupon sharing record corresponding to the first shared coupon detail record is set as a matched state, and the matching state of the second coupon sharing record corresponding to the second shared coupon detail record is set as a matched state.

The coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure can clearly and intuitively determine the matching condition of the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record in a detailed record mode: and when the matching condition of the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record reaches the coupon use amount of the shared coupon (namely, the use condition of the shared coupon is reached), setting the matching state of the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record as a matched state.

For example, a shared coupon register may be created locally, the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record may be copied to the local shared coupon register, and the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record may be matched in a manner of adding the first shared coupon detail record and the second shared coupon detail record as described above. For example, when a current first coupon shared record is matched, a local shared coupon register is searched, and when a second coupon shared record exists in the local shared coupon register, matching is performed. And when the current second coupon sharing record is matched, searching a local sharing coupon register, and when the first coupon sharing record exists in the local sharing coupon register, matching.

As shown in fig. 9, according to a coupon sharing method 700 according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the coupon general state may further include a consumed state and a normal state, and the coupon sharing method 700 may further include: operation S710 to operation S730.

In operation S710, in response to a successful matching of the first coupon-sharing record with the at least one second coupon-sharing record, a matching success notification is transmitted to the first user and the second user.

In operation S720, in response to the first user and the second user successfully using the shared coupon, the coupon common state of the shared coupon is set to a consumed state.

In operation S730, in response to a failure of the first user and/or the second user to use the shared coupon, the coupon common state of the shared coupon is set to a normal state.

It should be noted that, if the first coupon sharing record and the at least one second coupon sharing record are successfully matched, it may be understood that a sum of a first coupon sharing amount of the first coupon sharing record and a second coupon sharing amount of the at least one second coupon sharing record reaches a usage requirement of the coupon usage amount, and then a shared coupon may be used together, where for example, a first user and a second user need to pay a corresponding successful order to successfully use the shared coupon, and the shared coupon is consumed corresponding to the consumed state, and for example, the first user and/or the second user does not pay a corresponding order, so that the shared coupon fails to be used, the corresponding shared coupon is not successfully used, and a general state of the coupon shared by the shared coupon may be set to be a normal state, and other users may continue to use the shared coupon.

According to the coupon sharing method, when the first coupon sharing record is successfully matched with at least one second coupon sharing record, the consumed or normal state of the shared coupon is determined according to the decision of the first user and the second user for using the shared coupon, the situation that the shared coupon is wasted due to the fact that the first user and the second user do not successfully use the shared coupon after the matching is successful is avoided, and the using efficiency of the coupon is improved.

As shown in fig. 10, according to a coupon sharing method of a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the coupon record table may further include a coupon generation time field, the first coupon sharing record may include a first coupon generation time corresponding to the coupon generation time field, the second coupon sharing record may include a second coupon generation time corresponding to the coupon generation time field, and matching the first coupon sharing record with the at least one second coupon sharing record of operation S240 may include operation S44.

In operation S44, the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record are matched in the order of the front and rear of the first coupon generation time and the order of the front and rear of the second coupon generation time.

Matching the first coupon shared record with the second coupon shared record in the order of the first coupon generation time and the order of the second coupon generation time may be understood as: before the matching is successful, determining a first coupon sharing record with the most forward generation time and a second coupon sharing record with the later generation time according to the sequence of the front and the back of the time; when the first coupon sharing record is matched with the second coupon sharing record, the second coupon sharing record with the earlier second coupon generation time is matched according to the sequence of the front and the back of the second coupon generation time; and when the second coupon sharing record is matched with the first coupon sharing record, matching the first coupon sharing record with the first coupon generation time before according to the sequence of the first coupon generation time and the sequence of the second coupon generation time before and after.

The coupon sharing method of the embodiment of the disclosure can more reasonably match the first coupon sharing record and the second coupon sharing record according to the sequence of the first coupon generation time and the sequence of the second coupon generation time, and has higher matching efficiency and coupon use efficiency.

It should be noted that the coupon sharing method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include registration record information data, where the information data may include information such as a coupon generation event, an identifier of the first coupon sharing record, and an identifier of the second coupon sharing record, and specific information data that needs to be registered may be determined according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

A coupon sharing method of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be exemplarily described below.

For convenience of description, the following definitions are first given:

coupon rules: the coupon using amount includes two values, namely the coupon using amount, namely the commodity order amount is larger than or equal to the coupon using amount, namely the condition of using the coupon is achieved, and the coupon amount, namely the amount of direct discount when one coupon is used. The ratio of the coupon amount to the coupon usage amount may be defined as a full minus ratio, e.g., a coupon rule of 100 minus 40 where the coupon usage amount is 100 units of currency, the coupon amount is 40 units of currency, and the full minus ratio is 40%.

Amount of shared order: it can be understood that the amount of the commodity order exceeds n times (n is a natural number) of the usage amount of the coupon, and is less than that portion of the usage amount of the coupon. For example, if the full minus rule of 100 minus 40 is full, the commodity order amount is 220 units of currency, and the 20 units of currency with the 220 units of currency exceeding 100 × 2 to 200 units of currency is the shared order amount.

And (3) reducing the coupon: it is understood that when the amount of the product order is n times (n is a natural number) the amount of the condition amount, at most n full discount coupons can be used directly.

Sharing the coupon: it is understood that when the sum of the shared orders of more than two (including two) orders is greater than or equal to the usage amount of the coupon, a coupon is commonly used by more than two (including two) orders. At this time, according to the time sequence of the shared order (corresponding to the first coupon generation time and the second coupon generation time), the amount of the shared order after the shared order is equal to the sum obtained by subtracting the coupon use amount from the accumulated amount, and the amount of the shared order after the shared order is updated, so as to continue participating in the next activity of the shared coupon (i.e. determining the second matching basis).

For example, the full-minus rule is that the payment order is full 100 minus 40, that is, the full-minus ratio is 40%, when the payment order of 80 units of currency of a certain user A uses the shared coupon, the payment order is accumulated with the shared order amount of 20 units of currency of a certain user B, and the shared coupon is successfully used, at this time, the certain user A only needs to pay 80-40% to 48 units of currency to enjoy 32 units of currency of the benefit amount, and the shared order amount of 20 units of currency of the certain user B also realizes the shared benefit of 20-40% to 8 units of currency of the 20 units of currency. In another case, if the full discount rule is full 100 minus 40, and the order amount of a certain user a is 220 units of currency, then 2 full 100 minus 40 full discount coupons are used first, and the order only needs to pay 220-40 × 2 to 140 units of currency, and at the same time, a user a can also select a sharing coupon for the order amount of 20 units of currency, that is, the sharing order amount is 20 units of currency, and the system registers according to the time sequence (that is, the sequence of the first coupon generation time and the second coupon generation time), and accumulates (matches one first coupon sharing record with at least one second coupon sharing record, and accumulates corresponding to the first coupon sharing amount with at least one second coupon sharing amount), when the accumulated user sharing order amount is greater than or equal to the coupon use amount, for example, when the sharing coupon is used with the order amount of 80 units of order currency of a certain user b, the system processes the usage of the shared coupon with 20+80 equal to 100 equal to the condition amount, recalculates the coupon amount of the two accumulated shared order amounts, namely, the coupon amount of a certain user A is 20 × 40% to 8 units of currency, the final payment amount is 140-8 to 132 units of currency, the coupon amount of a certain user B is 80 × 40% to 32 units of currency, the final payment amount is 80-32 to 48 units of currency, 3 coupons with 100 minus 40 are used altogether, and 120 units of currency are paid altogether, and the user can be notified of the above-mentioned benefits.
