Description

Popularization information distribution method, related device and communication system

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a method for distributing promotion information, a related device, and a communication system.

Background

More and more consumer payment platforms are often used to offer coupons for consumption using their respective platforms at an online store for promotional promotion. For example, a Huacheng wallet application may issue coupons to consumers. Consumers can enjoy the coupons when paying by the online store using the wallet application. The coupon providing method can improve the awareness and market share of the consumer payment platform, thereby achieving the purpose of popularizing the consumer payment platform.

But various consumer payment platforms are more and more at present, and a plurality of consumer payment platforms provide a great variety of coupons for consumers. Consumers often do not know which coupons they own, and may not want to use coupons for consumer payment platforms when they are consumed by an on-line downer. This results in poor popularization of the consumer payment platform, which makes it difficult to attract more users to use the consumer payment platform.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a popularization information distribution method, a related device and a communication system. The method can push preferential use reminding which can be used at the shop to the electronic equipment of the consumer when the consumer enters the shop. The offers corresponding to the offer use reminder may include offers provided by one or more consumer payment platforms. The method not only can facilitate users to quickly know which offers are available on each consumption payment platform when entering a shop, but also can realize accurate promotion aiming at different users, and improves the promotion effect of the consumption payment platforms.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for distributing promotional information. The electronic device receives a first message of the first device, the electronic device is located in a signal range of the first device, and the first message contains a first identification of the first device. The electronic device sends a second message to the first server, the second message including the first identification and a second identification of the first user. The electronic equipment acquires and displays first and second preferential information, and the first and second preferential information are associated with the first and second identifiers. When the user is detected to select the first preferential information, the electronic equipment displays a first interface of the first application. And when the user is detected to select the second preferential information, the electronic equipment displays a second interface of the second application.

The first device may be a device deployed at a first shop. The first shop may be an off-line shop. The first preferential information may be promotion information corresponding to a preferential provided by the first consumer payment platform. The second preferential information may be promotion information corresponding to a preferential provided by the second consumer payment platform. The first and second preference information may be used to indicate a preference that the first user can use at the first store. The first application may be an application that the first consumer payment platform has for use by a user on the electronic device. The second application may be an application that the second consumer payment platform has for use by the user on the electronic device. Then, when the user selects the offer provided by the first consumer payment platform (i.e., selects the first offer information), the electronic device may display a first interface of the first application. When the user selects the offer provided by the second consumer payment platform (i.e., selects the second offer information), the electronic device may display a second interface of the second application.

According to the method, when the first user enters the first shop, the first user can receive the reminding of using the first preferential information and the second preferential information on the electronic equipment carried by the first user. Thus, after entering the first shop, the first user can quickly know which offers are available on each consumer payment platform. The method can help the user to efficiently use the virtual property of the user on each consumer payment platform, and improves the use experience of the user. And, the alert using the first and second preference information may be for the first user. If the offers available to different users at the same shop are different, the electronic devices of the different users can display different offer information according to the offers of the various consumption payment platforms. The user can conveniently select one of the offers provided by the payment platform for consumption according to the offer prompt. The method can realize accurate promotion aiming at different users and improve the promotion effect of the consumer payment platform.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first device may be a beacon. beacon is a physical device implemented based on bluetooth technology. The beacon may send its own beacon ID to the surroundings through bluetooth technology. The beacon ID may be used to uniquely identify the beacon. That is, the first message may be a bluetooth message. The first identification in the first message may be a beacon ID of the beacon.

In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second identification of the first user may be used by the first server to identify the first user. The first user can register the consumer account number on the first server through the application corresponding to the first server. The first server may assign a consumer account to the first user. The one consumer account number may be used to uniquely identify a user in the first server. That is, the second identification may be a consumer account number. The first server described above may be an aggregated ticket server mentioned in the embodiment of the present application. The application corresponding to the first server may be a syndication ticket application mentioned in the embodiment of the present application.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, in a case where the first device is deployed at a first shop, a first identifier of the first device and a first shop account of the first shop on the first server have an association relationship. The store of the first shop can register a shop account number on the first server through an application corresponding to the first server. The first server may assign a first store account number to the first store. The first shop account number may be used to uniquely identify a shop in the first server. The first server may determine that the first device is associated with the first shop (the first device is disposed in the first shop) through the association relationship between the first identifier and the first shop account. Then, the electronic device coming within the signal range of the first device may indicate that the first user carrying the electronic device enters the first shop. Further, the first server may send promotional information to the electronic device of the first user prompting the first user which consumer payment platforms provide offers are available when consumed by the first store.

The first and second offer information are merely exemplary, and the electronic device may also receive more or fewer reminders to use the offers provided by the consumer payment platform.

In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, after detecting that the user selects the first preference information, the electronic device displays a first interface of the first application, the electronic device further detects an operation of using the first preference information at the first interface. And the electronic equipment pays by using the coupons corresponding to the first preferential information through the first application.

It can be seen that the first user may use the first or second preference information when consuming at the first store. If the first user selects to use the first preferential information, the electronic equipment can pay through the first application and use the preferential coupon corresponding to the first preferential information during payment, so that the first user is helped to reduce the amount of actual payment. The electronic device pays by using the coupon corresponding to the first preferential information through the first application, which can comprise the following two cases:

1. the first application is capable of providing a consumer function of selecting goods, but is incapable of providing a payment function. For example, the first user may select a shop in the first application that he/she needs to purchase. When the selection of the merchandise is completed for payment, the first user needs to pay through other payment applications to complete the purchase of the merchandise. Wherein the first application may provide one or more payment options. The one or more payment options described above may be used to instruct the electronic device to jump to the payment interface of the corresponding payment application. The method can facilitate the first user to quickly open the payment interface to complete payment after the first user selects the commodity. Because the first user can use the coupon corresponding to the first preferential information, the first application can determine the amount which the first user finally needs to pay according to the amount which the first user selects and the commodity needs to spend according to the amount which the coupon can preferential. The first application may send the amount information that is ultimately required to be paid to the corresponding payment application according to the payment mode selected by the first user.

2. The first application is capable of providing payment functionality. I.e. the first application may be a payment application. The first user may make a payment using the first application. When the first user pays, the first application can automatically deduct the amount which can be preferential according to the coupon corresponding to the first preferential information, so that the first user is helped to reduce the amount which is actually paid.

According to the embodiment, after the user enters the shop, the user can quickly know which coupons can be used by the user at the shop without opening different consumption payment applications to check which coupons the user owns. The method can help consumers reasonably and fully use the virtual property of each consumption payment platform, fully utilize offers in consumption, and improve the popularization effect of each consumption payment platform.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second identifier is associated with a first user account, where the first user account is a user account in the first application; the second identifier is associated with a second user account, the second user account being a user account in a second application. The electronic device obtains first virtual property information and second virtual property information, the first virtual property information representing virtual properties of the first user account, and the second virtual property information representing virtual properties of the second user account. The electronic device displays a third interface on which the first virtual property information and the second virtual property information are displayed.

The first user account may specifically be a consumption payment account of the first user on the first consumption payment platform. The first virtual good information may specifically represent a virtual good of the first user at the first consumer payment platform. The second user account may specifically be a consumer payment account of the first user on the second consumer payment platform. The second virtual good information may specifically represent a virtual good of the first user at the second consumer payment platform. It will be appreciated that different platforms use different account systems. One platform can only identify the account number under the own use account number system. The same user may have multiple accounts on different platforms. For example, a first user may have a consumer account (i.e., an account corresponding to the second identifier) on the aggregated coupon server, a first user account may be provided on the first consumer payment platform, and a second user account may be provided on the second consumer payment platform.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the electronic device can aggregate virtual property information of a first user on multiple consumer payment platforms. In this way, the first user can view virtual good information on his or her multiple consumer payment platforms at one location (e.g., a third interface). The method and the system can facilitate the user to manage the virtual property of the user on different consumption payment platforms, and improve the use experience of the user.

With reference to the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second identifier is a user identifier in a third application, and the third interface is an interface of the third application.

The electronic device may receive a third message sent by the second device, the third message including a third identification of the second device. The electronic device sends a fourth message to the first server, the fourth message including the second identification and the third identification. The electronic equipment acquires and displays third preferential information and fourth preferential information, and the third preferential information and the fourth preferential information are associated with the second identifier and the third identifier. And when the user is detected to select the third preferential information, the electronic equipment displays a fourth interface of the fourth application. And when detecting that the user selects the fourth preferential information, the electronic equipment displays a fifth interface of the fifth application.

The second device may be a device deployed at a second shop. The second shop may be an off-line shop. The third preferential information may be promotion information corresponding to a preferential provided by the third consumer payment platform. The fourth preferential information may be promotion information corresponding to a preferential provided by the fourth consumer payment platform. The third and fourth preference information may be used to indicate a preference that the first user can use at the second shop. The fourth application may be an application that the third consumer payment platform has for use by the user on the electronic device. The fifth application may be an application that the fourth consumer payment platform has for use by the user on the electronic device. Then, when the user selects the offer provided by the third consumer payment platform (i.e., selects the third offer information), the electronic device may display a fourth interface of the fourth application. When the user selects the offer provided by the fourth consumer payment platform (i.e., selects fourth offer information), the electronic device may display a fifth interface of the fifth application.

According to the method, when the first user leaves from the first shop and enters the second shop, the first user can receive the reminding of using the third preferential information and the fourth preferential information on the electronic equipment carried by the first user. Therefore, the electronic equipment can prompt the first user in real time for preferential offers enjoyable by using each consumption payment platform at the current store according to the store where the first user is actually located. The method can help the user to efficiently use the virtual property of the user on each consumer payment platform, and improves the use experience of the user. And if the offers available to different users at the same shop are different, the electronic devices of the different users can display different offer information according to the offers of the various consumption payment platforms.

A commonly used presentation form of the user interface is a graphical user interface (graphic user interface, GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that is displayed in a graphical manner. It may be a visual interface element of text, icons, buttons, menus, tabs, text boxes, dialog boxes, status bars, navigation bars, widgets, etc., displayed in a display of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the consumer payment platform may prompt the user to specify offers available to off-line shops for promotional promotions via off-line billboards or on-line advertising. Therefore, more users can be attracted to use the promoted consumer payment platform, and the aim of promoting is achieved.

The consumer payment platform described above may refer to a platform for providing consumer and/or payment functionality. For example, hua is a payment, a payment treasured payment, a WeChat payment, a Unionpay payment, a public comment, and the like. The consumer payment platform described above typically has a corresponding application. The user may install an application corresponding to the consumer payment platform in the electronic device, thereby using the offers provided by the consumer payment platform. The purpose of promotion by the consumer payment platform may include attracting more users to install and use the corresponding applications of the consumer payment platform. For example, huazhi payment corresponds to Huazhi wallet application. The user may enjoy the benefits offered for payment at the designated off-line store using the wallet application.

The off-line billboard may include a billboard disposed adjacent to an off-line store. The billboards can be paper billboards, electronic billboards and the like. Such online advertising may include pushing advertising messages to users, and so forth.

The off-line store may refer to a store having a physical store, such as a supermarket, a game store, a coffee shop, a clothing store, and the like. The user can purchase goods for consumption in the online shopping mall. The off-line shops may also be referred to as physical shops, off-line merchants, etc. The embodiment of the application does not limit the types of the undersea shops. The off-line shop may cooperate with the consumer payment platform. The consumer payment platform can provide one or more offers to the online store. Such as full-down coupons, threshold-less coupons, vouchers, and the like. The full-down coupon may be a coupon that can be used when the amount of consumption satisfies a preset condition. The threshold-free coupon may refer to a coupon that can be used by any consumer. The above-described voucher may refer to a coupon capable of deducting a preset amount of consumption upon consumption, and the voucher is typically a coupon purchased by a user at a cost less than the amount of consumption that the voucher can deduct. The off-line store may provide a way to enjoy offers using the consumer payment platform. The user may obtain the one or more offers according to rules set by the consumer payment platform. Thus, the user may enjoy the offers through the consumer payment platform at an off-line shop that cooperates with the consumer payment platform. It can be seen that the off-line shop cooperates with the consumption payment platform, so that the effect of attracting consumers to enter the off-line shop for consumption can be achieved, and the effect of popularizing the consumption payment platform can be achieved.

However, the method for promoting through the offline billboard or online advertising has the advantages of high cost, low updating speed and low effect. For example, a consumer paymate platform may cost a significant amount to deploy off-line billboards for advertising on multiple on-line billboards. When the information such as offers provided by the consumption payment platform or cooperative off-line shops is changed, the consumption payment platform needs to change all off-line billboards and on-line advertising. This results in slow update of promotional information. In addition, when the user enters the off-line shop to consume, even if the user sees the preferential promotion of the consumption payment platform, the user may prefer to consume the payment platform by using the payment platform in a habit or by hand. Alternatively, the user may want to use the consumer payment platform, but requires a cumbersome series of operations. For example, knowing the rules for the consumer payment platform to offer the coupons, how to use the coupons after they have been retrieved, where the coupons once retrieved are located and used, and so on. This can be difficult to attract users to use promoted consumer payment platforms with poor promotion.

The application provides a popularization information distribution method. In this approach, an off-line shop may be deployed with a pointing device (beacon). When a user enters an off-line shop, the electronic equipment of the user can inquire the off-line shop where the electronic equipment is currently located according to the beacon of the off-line shop. The electronic device can acquire the offers available to the user at the currently on-line store and display the acquired offer information on the user interface. The offers may include offers provided by one or more consumer payment platforms. Therefore, when the user consumes at the current online store, the user can use the preferential information prompted by the electronic equipment to consume the preferential provided by the payment platform.

According to the method, each consumption payment platform can prompt the user of the available offers of the online store when the user enters the offline store. The preferential cues may be specific to each particular user. If the offers available to different users at the same off-line shop are different, the electronic devices of the different users can display different offer information according to the offers of the various consumption payment platforms. The user can conveniently select one of the offers provided by the payment platform for consumption according to the offer prompt. The method not only can facilitate users to quickly know which offers are available on each consumption payment platform when entering the off-line shops, but also can realize accurate promotion aiming at different users, and improves the promotion effect of the consumption payment platforms.

The method for communication connection according to the embodiment of the application is not limited. Communication connections may also exist between the electronic device 100 and the beacon 400. The communication connection may comprise a bluetooth communication connection.

The consumer-side electronic device 100 may refer to an electronic device that a user uses when making a consumption at an online store. The consumer-side electronic device 100 may be an electronic device such as a cell phone, tablet computer, smart watch, etc. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to the type of the electronic device 100. Consumer-side electronic device 100 may have installed therein one or more consumer payment applications corresponding to consumer payment platforms. Such as wallet applications, XX payment applications, B bank applications, a critique applications, and the like. The consumer-side electronic device 100 may utilize the consumer payment type application described above for consumption by an online store. For example, the user may select items in an off-line shop on a consumer payment type application. For another example, the user may pay using a swipe code payment function or a pay code payment function provided by the consumer payment type application.

The aggregated ticket server 200 may refer to a server of an aggregated ticket platform. The aggregated coupon platform may refer to a platform for providing functionality for aggregating virtual good information of consumers at multiple consumer payment platforms, as well as for prompting consumers for available offers upon reaching an off-line store.

The aggregated ticket platform may have a corresponding aggregated ticket application. The syndication ticket application may be a separate Application (APP) or may be a sub-application or plug-in to an APP. The aggregated ticket application may be an application that needs to be downloaded and installed, or a quick application, or a web application, or an applet, etc. The implementation of the application of the aggregation ticket is not limited by the embodiment of the application. The aggregated ticket server 200 may be used to interface with the aggregated ticket application. The consumer-side electronic device 100 may run the aggregated ticket application. The consumer may register a consumer account with the aggregated ticket platform through the aggregated ticket application, authorize the aggregated ticket platform to manage his or her virtual good in one or more consumer payment platforms, view, and use his or her virtual good in one or more consumer payment platforms.

The virtual good in the consumer paymate may refer to a good available for consumption in the consumer paymate. Illustratively, the virtual good in the consumer payment platform may include one or more of the following: balance, coupon, credit, membership card. The embodiment of the application does not limit the type of virtual property in the consumer payment platform.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may request registration of the consumer account from the aggregated ticket server 200 through the aggregated ticket application. The aggregated coupon server 200 may assign a consumer account to the electronic device 100. The aggregated ticket server 200 may, among other things, send account information, such as a consumer identification (identity document, ID), to the electronic device 100 and store the account information. The electronic device 100 may log in to the syndicated coupon application in a consumer account corresponding to the consumer ID at the syndicated coupon platform. The consumer account may have an account number (i.e., consumer account number). The consumer account number may be used to uniquely identify the consumer account in the aggregated ticket server 200. The aggregated coupon server 200 may specifically assign a consumer account to the electronic device 100 by assigning a consumer account to the electronic device 100. That is, the above registered consumer account may be understood as a registered consumer account.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage virtual good of the user in one or more consumer payment platforms through the aggregated coupon application. Wherein, when virtual property of the user in one or more consumer payment platforms is obtained, the aggregated ticket server 200 may obtain virtual property information of the user in the one or more consumer payment platforms from the server at the one or more consumer payment platforms side, and send the virtual property information to the electronic device 100. Upon receiving the virtual good information, electronic device 100 may display the virtual good information to the user in a syndication ticket application. In this way, a user may conveniently view and use his or her own virtual good on one or more consumer payment platforms through the aggregated coupon application.

It can be seen that a user can use one application (e.g., a syndication ticket application) to aggregate his or her virtual good on all consumer payment platforms. This may facilitate the user to manage their own virtual properties on different consumer payment platforms.

It will be appreciated that the above-described syndicated coupon platform, syndicated coupon application may also be referred to by other names. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The off-line shop may have an off-line shop-side electronic device 300 and a beacon400 of the off-line shop therein.

The electronic device 300 on the off-line shop side may refer to an electronic device used by a shop of the off-line shop. The electronic device 300 at the off-line shop side may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like. The type of the electronic device 300 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 300 may be used by a store to register a store account with the aggregated ticket platform for an off-line store.

In some embodiments, the aggregated ticket application corresponding to the aggregated ticket platform may also be used to register a merchant account. Illustratively, the electronic device 300 may run the aggregated coupon application described above. In response to an operation acting in the aggregated ticket application for registering a store account, the electronic device 300 may request registration of the store account from the aggregated ticket server 200. The aggregated ticket server 200 may allocate a store account for the electronic device 300. The aggregated ticket server 200 may, among other things, send account information, such as a store ID, to the electronic device 300 and store the account information. The electronic device 300 may log in to the syndication ticket application in a store account corresponding to the store ID on the syndication ticket platform. The shop ID may also be a shop account number. The merchant account number may be used to uniquely identify the merchant account in the aggregated ticket server 200. The aggregated coupon server 200 may specifically assign a consumer account to the electronic device 300, and may specifically assign a merchant account to the electronic device 100. That is, the above-described registration shop account can be understood as a registration shop account.

The beacon400 may be a physical device based on bluetooth technology, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. The beacon400 may be used to send its beacon id to the surroundings via bluetooth technology. When the electronic device enters the signal range of the beacon400, the electronic device may receive the beacon ID sent by the beacon400. Where the bluetooth power of the transmitted signal is different, the signal range of beacon400 is also different. The higher the bluetooth power, the greater the signal range of the beacon400. The beacon ID may be unique to the beacon400 and may be used to uniquely identify the beacon400. That is, different beacons have different beacon IDs.

Illustratively, when an off-line shop is deployed with a beacon400, a consumer enters the off-line shop and the consumer-side electronic device 100 may receive the beacon id of the beacon400. It can be seen that the electronic device 100 moves within the signal range of the beacon400 and receives the beacon ID, which may indicate that the consumer enters an off-line shop and that there is a consumption demand.

In some embodiments, the aggregated coupon platform may determine which off-line store the user specifically entered through beacon400. Specifically, an off-line shop may deploy the beacon400, binding the beacon400 with the off-line shop. The electronic device 300 may send the shop ID of the off-line shop and the beacon ID of the beacon400 to the aggregated ticket server 200 after logging on the aggregated ticket platform. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store the binding relationship of the store ID and the beacon ID. Namely, the off-line shop corresponding to the shop ID is bound with the beacon corresponding to the beacon ID.

When the electronic device 100 receives the beacon ID transmitted by the beacon400, the electronic device 100 may transmit the consumer ID of the consumer on the aggregated ticket platform, and the received beacon ID to the aggregated ticket server 200. The aggregated ticket server 200 may determine the store ID bound to the beacon ID to determine which off-line store the consumer corresponding to the consumer ID specifically entered. In this way, the aggregated coupon platform can be aware of the consumer profiles of the various off-line shops.

Not limited to the beacon400 described above, the off-line shop may also deploy devices employing other communication technologies (e.g., WLAN technology, near field communication (near field communication, NFC) technology, etc.) to send identification information to electronic devices that reach the off-line shop's designated location. The off-line shop designation location may include a location within a signal range of the device transmitting the identification information.

The electronic device 500 on the consumer payment platform operator side may be used for an operator of the consumer payment platform to manage the consumer payment platform. For example, operators may set at which off-line merchants promote consumer payoff platforms, which offers are offered by on-line merchants, which virtual properties are available to consumers registered with accounts at the consumer payoff platforms, and so forth.

The server 600 on the consumer payment platform side may refer to a server of the consumer payment platform. Server 600 may be used to store information for off-line merchants affiliated with the consumer payment platform, offer information provided by the off-line merchants, consumer information for accounts registered with the consumer payment platform, virtual good information for consumers on the consumer payment platform, and the like. The consumer payment platform may have a corresponding consumer payment application. The server 600 may be used to interface with the consumer payment type application. The consumer-side electronic device 100 may run a consumer payment application to obtain and display virtual good information of the consumer from the server 600. When consumed, the electronic device 100 may interact with the server 600 to verify the identity information of the consumer and complete the consumption after verification is successful. Wherein, when an amount is consumed, the server 600 may record the amount deducted from the consumer's virtual good.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 may send information of the off-line shop and the offer information provided by the off-line shop to the server 600 at the consumer payment platform side according to the operator's setting. The server 600 may transmit the coupon information to the electronic device 300 of the off-line shop side according to the information of the off-line shop. In this way, the off-line store may provide offers to consume the payment platform when the consumer enters the store for consumption.

In some embodiments, the aggregated ticket application corresponding to the aggregated ticket platform may also be used to consume payment class platform off-line merchants. Illustratively, the consumer payment platform operator-side electronic device 500 may run the aggregated coupon application described above and display a user interface to the off-line store. The user interface of the offline store may display the option of registering a store account with the aggregated coupon platform and deploying the offline store of beacon 400. An operator consuming the payment class platform may select an off-line shop on the user interface to subscribe to. In response to selecting one or more option stores to subscribe to, the electronic device 500 may send information of the selected subscribed off-line stores to the aggregated coupon server 200. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store the subscription relationship of the consumer payment platform with the off-line store. When the subscription is completed, the electronic device 500 may send information of the offline store subscribed to by the consumer paymate to the server 600 for storage.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 may also be an electronic device on the operator side of the aggregated ticket platform. The electronic device 500 may communicate with the aggregated coupon server 200 to implement a consumer payment platform off-line shop. That is, the consumer payment platform operator may submit the requirements of the off-line store to the aggregated coupon platform operator. The above-described requirements of subscribing to an off-line shop may include information of the off-line shop to which the consumer payment platform needs to subscribe. The aggregated coupon platform operator may operate on the electronic device 500 to subscribe the consumer payment platform to a corresponding off-line shop according to the requirements submitted by the consumer payment platform operator. In the following embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 500 is specifically taken as an example of an electronic device on the operator side of a payment platform.

The online store is subscribed by the consumption payment platform, which can indicate the distribution situation of consumers in the online store subscribed by the consumption payment platform from the aggregated ticket platform. Therefore, the consumption payment platform can accurately push the preferential use reminding to the consumer according to the preferential provided by the online store and the virtual property of the consumer on the consumption payment platform. The method can effectively improve the popularization effect of the consumer payment platform.

Illustratively, the aggregated coupon server 200 may have stored therein a correspondence between a consumer ID on the aggregated coupon platform and a consumer payment ID on the consumer payment platform. As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, the consumer-side electronic device 100 can receive the beacon ID when it comes within the signal range of the beacon400 of the off-line shop. The electronic device 100 may send the consumer ID and the beacon ID to the aggregated ticket server 200. If the consumer payment platform subscribes to the off-line store deploying the beacon400, the aggregated coupon server 200 may send a message to the server 600 indicating that the consumer corresponding to the consumer ID arrived at the off-line store deploying the beacon 400. Then, the server 600 may transmit the coupon information available to the consumer corresponding to the consumer ID at the off-line shop deploying the beacon400 to the electronic device 100 through the coupon server 200.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the aggregated ticket application corresponding to the aggregated ticket platform is operable to register a consumer account number with the aggregated ticket platform and manage their own virtual good on one or more consumer payment platforms. The aggregated ticket application may also be used by shops of off-line shops to register a shop account with the aggregated ticket platform for the off-line shops and deploy the beacon400 in the off-line shops. The aggregated ticket application may also be used to subscribe operators of the consumer payment platform to an off-line store and push a coupon use reminder when a consumer enters the off-line store.

In one possible implementation, the aggregated ticket application described above may have different versions. For example, consumer oriented aggregated coupon applications may be available to consumers. The aggregate coupon application facing the off-line shops can be used by shops of the off-line shops. The aggregated ticket application oriented to the consumption payment platform can be used by operators of the consumption payment platform. Different user groups may use different versions of the syndicated coupon application on their own electronic device. The embodiment of the application is not limited to the version of the application of the aggregation ticket.

The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that the aggregated ticket server 200 shown in fig. 3 is merely an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, and in practical application, the aggregated ticket server 200 may further include more or fewer components, which is not limited herein.

The structure of the server 600 on the consumer payment platform side in the communication system 10 may refer to the schematic structure of the aggregated ticket server 200 shown in fig. 3.

Based on the foregoing communication system 10 shown in fig. 1, a scenario in which an aggregated coupon platform manages virtual good information of a consumer on one or more consumer payment platforms according to an embodiment of the present application is described below.

Fig. 4A-4D illustrate exemplary scenarios for registering consumer accounts with an aggregated coupon platform.

As shown in fig. 4A, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 410. The user interface 410 may be a desktop of the electronic device 100. The user interface 410 may have displayed thereon application icons such as wallet application icon 411, XX payment application icon 412, application mall application icon, camera application icon, contact application icon, and the like. The application icons may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to open a corresponding application. The wallet application icon 411 described above may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to open a wallet application. The XX payment application described above may be used to trigger electronic device 100 to open the XX payment application. The wallet application and XX payment application described above may be consumer-oriented consumer payment applications provided by different consumer payment platforms. The user interface 410 may also contain more or less content. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In some examples, the wallet application described above may be integrated with the aggregated ticket application mentioned in the previous embodiments. For example, the aggregated ticket application may be a sub-application in a wallet application. The consumer may open a wallet application in the electronic device 100 using functionality provided by the aggregated ticket application through associated operational controls in the wallet application. In other examples, the syndication ticket application may be a standalone APP. For example, a consumer may search for an aggregated ticket application in an application mall application and install it in the electronic device 100. The subsequent embodiments of the present application will be described with particular reference to the integration of aggregated ticket applications into wallet applications. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the functionality provided by the aggregated ticket application implemented using other methods may refer to the functionality provided by the aggregated ticket application integrated into the wallet application. The present application will not be described in detail.

In response to the operation of wallet application icon 411 shown in fig. 4A, electronic device 100 may open the wallet application, displaying user interface 420 shown in fig. 4B. The user interface 420 may include a shortcut function display area 421 and a wallet service display area 422. Wherein:

the shortcut function display area 421 may be used to display shortcut keys of the shortcut function provided by the wallet application. For example, payment code control 421A, swipe control 421B, change control 421C. The payment code control 421A described above may be used to turn on the functionality of providing payment code payments in wallet applications. In response to operation of the payment code control 421A, the electronic device 100 can display the payment code of the wallet application. The swipe control 421B can be used to turn on the function of the swipe code in wallet applications. In response to operation of the swipe one control 421B, the electronic device 100 can turn on the camera and display a swipe code interface to facilitate user swipe code payments. Change control 421C may be used to trigger electronic device 100 to display a change interface. The content displayed on the change interface may include the amount of change the consumer has in the wallet application, revenue and expense records for the change, and so forth. The change control 421C may also display the amount of change in the wallet application by the consumer, which may facilitate the consumer to quickly look up how much change remains in his wallet application.

Wallet services display area 422 may be used to display controls for wallet-provided services. Such as an aggregate coupon control 422A, a flower coin control 422B, a cell phone refill control, a chinese mall control, and so forth. The coin control 422B described above may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display a coin interface. The display on the spending coin interface may include the number of spending coins, the records of spending coins, the rules of spending coins, etc. in the wallet application. The above-mentioned flower coin may also be called a name such as a point, which is one of the virtual properties of the consumer in the wallet application. The consumer may obtain the floras according to a preset floras acquisition rule (e.g., 1 floras may be obtained by consuming 10 yuan, etc.), and use the floras according to a preset floras usage rule (e.g., 100 floras may be withheld 1 yuan when consumed by the consumer, a specified number of floras may be replaced with a specified commodity, etc.). The mobile phone control value control can be used for starting a function of recharging the mobile phone in wallet application. For example, the consumer may use the money spent and/or change in the wallet application to recharge the electronic device 100. The Hua Cheng control may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to open a Hua Cheng application. The above-described Hua Cheng Point of sale application may be used to provide functionality for purchasing goods that are placed on top of Hua Cheng Point of sale. The aggregate ticket control 422A may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to open an aggregate ticket application.

Illustratively, in response to the operation of the aggregate coupon control 422A shown in FIG. 4B, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 430 shown in FIG. 4C. User interface 430 may include a function open control 431. Function activation control 431 may be used to activate the aggregated ticket function. The aggregated ticket function is a function of aggregating virtual property information of consumers on a plurality of consumer payment platforms. In response to the operation of function activation control 431 shown in fig. 4C, electronic device 100 can display user interface 440 shown in fig. 4D.

As shown in fig. 4D, user interface 440 may be used to register consumer accounts with the aggregated coupon platform. User interface 440 may include registration information display area 441, registration control 442. Wherein the registration information display area 441 is operable to fill out registration information for registering a consumer account. For example, the registration information may include a phone number of the electronic device 100 and a verification code received by the phone number for registration. The embodiment of the application does not limit the content of the registration information. Registration control 442 may be used to trigger electronic device 100 to request registration of a consumer account with aggregated coupon server 200. Wherein in response to operation of registration control 442, electronic device 100 can send registration information to aggregated coupon server 200 a request to register a consumer account. The request may include registration information filled in the registration information display area 441. Upon receiving a request to register a consumer account of the electronic device 100, the aggregated coupon server 200 may assign the consumer an account of the consumer at the aggregated coupon platform based on the registration information described above. The aggregated ticket server 200 may send account information, such as the consumer ID, of the above-described assigned consumer account to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may log into the corresponding consumer account according to the consumer ID.

In some examples, the aggregated ticket application described above may be one integrated in a wallet application. The consumer payment account that one consumer logs in to the wallet application and the consumer account that one consumer logs in to the aggregated ticket application may be the same account. For example, a login control may also be displayed on the user interface 440 shown in FIG. 4D, described above. Through the login control, the consumer can log in the aggregated ticket application by using the consumer payment account in the wallet application.

In other examples, the consumer payment account that one consumer logs in to the wallet application and the consumer account that one consumer logs in to the aggregated ticket application may also be different accounts.

Fig. 4E-4J illustrate schematic views of a scenario for managing virtual properties of a consumer's consumer payment class platform in a aggregated coupon application.

As shown in fig. 4E, when logging into a consumer account of a consumer on the aggregated coupon platform, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 450. In some examples, if the consumer has registered a consumer account with the aggregated coupon platform, then in response to the operation of the aggregated coupon control 422A shown in fig. 4B, the electronic device 100 may directly display the user interface 450 shown in fig. 4E. The user interface 450 may include a virtual property display area 451, a consumer paymate authorization area 452. Wherein:

Virtual property display area 451 may be used to display virtual properties of a consumer at multiple consumer paymate platforms. For example, virtual good display area 451 may display virtual good of the consumer in a wallet application, such as balances and coupons. Wherein the wallet application balance control 451A may indicate that the consumer's balance (or change) in the wallet application is 100 yuan. The wallet application's coupon control 451B may indicate that the consumer has 10 coupons in the wallet application. In response to operation of the wallet application's coupon control 451B, the electronic device 100 may display specific information of the consumer's coupons in the wallet application. The consumer to which the virtual property of the wallet application belongs may be a consumer corresponding to a consumer payment account registered in the wallet application.

In some examples, the virtual good information for the wallet application may be sent to the electronic device 100 after the aggregated ticket server 200 obtains from the wallet application server. The wallet application server is a server on the side of a consumer payment platform.

In one possible implementation, the aggregated ticket server 200 requires the consumer to authorize the aggregated ticket platform to manage the consumer's virtual good information in the wallet application before obtaining the virtual good information in the wallet application. For example, when logging into a consumer account in the aggregated ticket application, the aggregated ticket application in the electronic device 100 may query the user as to whether to grant the aggregated ticket platform virtual good information in the managed wallet application. In another possible implementation, the aggregated ticket application is an application integrated in a wallet application. The consumer opens the aggregated ticket function, and logging in the consumer account in the aggregated ticket application can represent that the consumer agrees to the aggregated ticket platform to manage the virtual good of the consumer in the wallet application. That is, after the consumer logs into the consumer account in the aggregated ticket application, the operation of authorizing the aggregated ticket platform to manage the virtual good of the consumer in the wallet application is not required.

The consumer payment platform authorization area 452 may be used to display authorization controls for one or more consumer payment platforms. The consumer can authorize the aggregated ticket platform to manage virtual property information of the consumer on a plurality of consumer payment platforms through the authorization control. The consumer payment class platform corresponding to the authorization controls displayed in the consumer payment class platform authorization area 452 may cooperate with the aggregated coupon platform. The consumer payment platform cooperates with the aggregated coupon platform to obtain the consumer distribution of the off-line shops from the aggregated coupon server 200, thereby more effectively popularizing the consumer payment platform to the consumer.

Illustratively, the consumer payment class platform authorization zone 452 may contain an XX payment application authorization control 452A, A to comment on an application authorization control 452B, B to authorize a banking application control 452C. The consumer may select one or more consumer payment platforms to authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage. For example, in response to the operations illustrated in FIG. 4E for authorization control 452A and authorization control 452C, electronic device 100 may authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual good information in the XX Payment application and the B-Bank. The consumer to which the virtual property in the XX payment application belongs may be a consumer corresponding to a consumer payment account registered in the XX payment application in the electronic device 100. When authorized, the aggregated ticket server 200 may obtain the consumer's virtual good information in the XX payment application from the XX payment application server and send the virtual good information to the electronic device 100. The consumer to which the virtual property in the B-bank application belongs may be a consumer corresponding to a consumer payment account registered in the B-bank application in the electronic device 100. When authorized, the aggregated ticket server 200 may obtain the consumer's virtual good information in the B-bank application from the XX payment application server and send the virtual good information to the electronic device 100. The XX payment application server and B-bank application server may both be servers of a consumer payment platform.

As shown in fig. 4F, when the aggregated coupon platform is entitled to manage virtual good information for the consumer in the XX payment application and the B-bank application, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 450. The virtual good display area 451 of the user interface 450 may display virtual good information for the consumer in the XX payment application and the B banking application in addition to virtual good information for the consumer in the wallet application. For example, balance control 451C of the XX payment application may indicate that the balance (or change) of the consumer in the XX payment application is 50 yuan. Coupon control 451E of the XX payment application can indicate that the consumer has 5 coupons in the XX payment application. The balance control 451D of the B-bank application may indicate that the balance (or change) of the consumer in the B-bank application is 200 yuan. The coupon control 451F of the B-bank application may indicate that the consumer has 6 coupons in the B-bank application. It should be understood that the virtual good information shown in fig. 4F is merely an exemplary illustration of an embodiment of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the application.

As shown in FIG. 4F, when the aggregated coupon platform is authorized to manage virtual property information for the consumer in the XX Payment application and the B-Bank application, a cancel authorization control 452D for the XX Payment application and a cancel authorization control 452E for the B-Bank application may be displayed on the user interface 450. The cancel authorization control 452D may be used to cancel the rights of the aggregated coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual good information in the XX Payment application. The cancel authorization control 452E may be used to cancel the rights of the aggregated ticket platform to manage the consumer's virtual good information in the B-bank application.

The above-described implementation of the method of granting the aggregated coupon platform rights to manage the consumer's virtual good information in consuming the payment platform will be described in subsequent embodiments. Here, it is not first unfolded.

In some examples, if the consumer does not have a consumer payment account in one consumer payment platform, the consumer cannot authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage the one consumer payment platform. The consumer payment account described above may also be referred to as a consumer payment account number.

Illustratively, the consumer does not consume a payment type account in the A-score application. I.e., the consumer does not have virtual properties in the point a application.

As shown in fig. 4G, in response to operation of the authorization control 452B of the criticizing application a, the electronic device 100 may display an authorization prompt 453 shown in fig. 4H. The authorization prompt 453 may be used to prompt the consumer that the payment account was not consumed in the criticizing application a and cannot be authorized.

From the above scenario, the aggregated ticket application may provide one or more consumer payable platform options from which a consumer may select one or more consumer payable platforms based on the distribution of their own virtual good. In this way, consumers can view their own virtual property information in each consumer payment platform through the aggregated coupon application without having to open different applications separately to view the virtual property information in different consumer payment platforms. This may facilitate the consumer's better understanding and management of their own virtual good.

In some examples, the aggregated ticket application in the electronic device 100 may detect whether the consumer owns the consumer payment account at the consumer payment platform. For example, the aggregated ticket application may detect whether a specified consumer payment class application is installed in the electronic device 100 and whether a consumer payment class account is logged into the specified consumer payment class application. The embodiment of the application is not limited to the method for detecting whether the consumer has the consumer payment account on the consumer payment platform.

In some examples, the consumer may authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage its own portion of virtual good information on one consumer payment class platform. Wherein virtual properties owned by a consumer on a consumer paymate platform may be divided into a plurality of categories. Such as balances, coupons, etc. The embodiment of the application does not limit the division mode of the virtual property categories. The aggregated ticket application may display the options for one or more categories of virtual good that each consumer paymate has in the consumer paymate authorization zone 452 shown in fig. 4E. The consumer may select the option of having a partial category of virtual good on one consumer paymate platform, thereby authorizing the aggregated coupon platform to manage its own partial virtual good information on that one consumer paymate platform.

For example, a consumer has two categories of virtual properties in a XX Payment application: balance, coupon. The consumer may choose to authorize the aggregated ticket platform to manage his own ticket in the XX payment application. Then the aggregated ticket application may obtain the consumer's ticket information in the XX payment application, displaying the consumer's ticket information in the XX payment application in virtual property display area 450 of fig. 4F. Because the consumer unauthorized aggregated ticket platform manages the balance of the consumer in the XX payment application, the information of the consumer in the XX payment application acquired by the aggregated ticket application does not contain balance information. That is, the content displayed in virtual good display area 450 shown in FIG. 4F may not include balance control 451C of the XX Payment application.

In the consumer payment platform authorization zone 452 shown in fig. 4E, the electronic device 100 may present the consumer with the authorization control of the consumer payment platform with the consumer payment account and the authorization control of the consumer payment platform without the consumer payment account in different representations. For example, the authorization controls of a consumer payment platform that the consumer owns a consumer payment account may appear dark. The authorization controls of the consumer payment platform for which the consumer does not consume a payment account may appear light colored. This can be conveniently used to distinguish which consumer payment platforms can be selected by themselves for authorization. The embodiment of the application does not limit the expression form of the authorization control.

The above-described user interfaces for aggregating virtual good information for different consumer payment platforms by the aggregated ticket application shown in fig. 4E and 4F are merely exemplary illustrations of embodiments of the present application. The virtual good information for the different consumer payment platforms described above may also be presented in the user interface of the aggregated ticket application in other layouts.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 4I, when the electronic device 100 logs in to the consumer account of the consumer in the aggregated coupon platform in the aggregated coupon application, and the aggregated coupon platform has the authority to manage virtual good information of the consumer in the wallet application, the XX Payment application, and the B-Bank application, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 460. User interface 460 may include a managed platform options area 461 and a consumer payment class platform authorization area 462. Wherein managed platform options area 461 may be used to display options for consumer payment class platforms that the consumer has authorized the aggregated coupon platform to manage. For example, wallet option 461A, XX payment option 461B, B bank option 461C, and so on. Wallet option 461A may be used to view virtual good information of a consumer in a wallet application. XX payment option 461B can be used to view virtual property information of a consumer in an XX payment application. B bank option 461C may be used to view virtual good information of the consumer in a B bank application. The consumer paymate authorization zone 462 may refer to the description of the consumer paymate authorization zone 452 in the previous embodiment. And will not be described in detail here.

In response to the operation of wallet option 461A shown in fig. 4I, electronic device 100 may display user interface 470 shown in fig. 4J. The user interface 470 may have displayed thereon virtual good information for the consumer in the wallet application. For example, the virtual good information may include: the balance is 100 yuan, the coupons have 10, the money has 20, and the membership cards have 3.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 may also turn off the aggregated coupon functionality described above in response to a user operation.

The implementation method for managing virtual property information of consumers on one or more consumer payment platforms by using the aggregated ticket platform provided by the embodiment of the application is specifically described below.

FIG. 5 illustrates a flow chart of a method by which the aggregated coupon platform manages virtual good information for a consumer at one or more consumer payment class platforms. The method may include steps S511 to S526. Wherein:

(1) Step S511 to step S514: consumer accounts are registered with the aggregated coupon platform.

S511, the consumer-side electronic device 100 receives operation 1 of registering the consumer account in the aggregated ticket application.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface for registering a consumer account with the aggregated coupon platform (see user interface 440, previously described with respect to fig. 4D). The consumer may fill in registration information on the user interface that registers for the consumer account. Wherein the registration information may include one or more of: the cell phone number of the electronic device 100, the authentication code used for registration, the consumer account name, the consumer's identification number, the password to log into the consumer's account, the consumer's mailbox number. The embodiment of the application does not limit the content of the registration information. The operation 1 may be, for example, a touch operation on the registration control 442 shown in fig. 4D described above.

S512, the electronic device 100 transmits a registration request to the coupon server 200 according to operation 1.

The registration request includes registration information of the consumer account.

S513, the aggregated ticket server 200 assigns the consumer a user ID1 on the aggregated ticket platform according to the registration request.

In some examples, aggregated ticket server 200 assigns a consumer account at the aggregated ticket platform for the consumer associated with the registration information. The consumer account has corresponding account information. For example, the account information may include user ID1. The user ID1 may be used to uniquely identify the consumer account to which the user ID1 corresponds at the aggregated ticket platform. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store account information for the consumer account. The content of the account information is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the following embodiment specifically uses the user ID1 as an example.

S514, the coupon server 200 transmits a message indicating that registration is completed to the electronic device 100.

The message indicating the completion of registration may include the user ID1.

In some examples, electronic device 100 may utilize user ID1 described above to log into a consumer account corresponding to user ID1 in the aggregated ticket application.

(2) Step S515 to step S521: the authorization ticket platform manages virtual good information of the consumer at the consumer payment platform.

S515, the electronic device 100 receives operation 2, operation 2 for authorizing the aggregated ticket platform to manage the consumer' S virtual property information in the XX payment application.

The description herein specifically exemplifies authorizing the aggregated coupon platform to manage virtual good information for a consumer in a XX payment application. It will be appreciated that the method of authorizing the aggregated coupon platform to manage virtual good information of a consumer in other consumer payment class platforms may be the same as the method of authorizing the aggregated coupon platform to manage virtual good information of a consumer in an XX payment application. The present application will not be described in detail.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5, the server 600 on the payment platform side may be a generic term for servers of the payment platform. Different consumer payment platforms may correspond to different servers. For example, the wallet application may correspond to the wallet application server 601. The XX payment application may correspond to XX payment application server 602. The B-bank application may correspond to the B-bank application server 603.

The user operation 2 described above may be, for example, a touch operation of the authorization control 452A of the XX payment application described above with respect to fig. 4E.

S516, the electronic device 100 sends an authorization message to the XX payment application server 602 according to operation 2.

In some examples, an XX payment application is installed in electronic device 100 and has a consumer payment account logged onto the XX payment application. The consumption payment account logged in on the XX payment application may be an account corresponding to user ID2. The user ID2 may uniquely identify the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 at the XX payment application.

In response to operation 2 described above, electronic device 100 may obtain user ID2 in the XX payment application that is currently logged into the consumer payment class account and send an authorization message to XX payment application server 602. The authorization message may contain the user ID2 described above. The authorization message may instruct the consumer authorization ticket platform to manage virtual good information for the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application. The XX payment application server 602 may store account information for the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 and virtual property information for the account.

In other embodiments, the XX payment application is not installed in the electronic device 100, or the XX payment application is installed in the electronic device 100 but the consuming payment account is not logged on by the XX payment application.

In response to operation 2 described above, electronic device 100 may invoke the XX payment application and instruct the consumer to enter login information authorizing the consumer payment account to which the virtual good information managed by the coupon platform pertains. That is, electronic device 100 needs to determine which of the consumer payment class accounts in the XX payment application is authorized to be managed by the aggregated ticket platform for virtual good information. For example, the electronic device 100 receives login information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2. Electronic device 100 may send the login information to XX payment application server 602 for authentication. If the authentication is successful, electronic device 100 may send the authorization message to XX Payment application Server 602. The successful authentication may indicate that a consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 exists in the XX payment application. The authorization message may include the user ID2. The authorization message may instruct the consumer authorization ticket platform to manage virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application. Optionally, electronic device 100 may send the login information to XX payment application server 602 along with the authorization message.

If the authentication fails, the electronic device 100 may prompt the consumer that the aggregated coupon platform cannot be authorized to manage virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application. The authentication failure may indicate that the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 does not exist in the XX payment application, or that the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 exists but the login information input by the user is incorrect.

S517, XX payment application server 602 sends an authorization verification token1 to electronic device 100 according to the authorization message.

S518, the electronic device 100 reports token1 to the coupon server 200.

S519, the coupon server 200 requests authorization verification from the XX payment application server 602 using token1.

S520, XX payment application server 602 sends user ID2 of the consumer in XX payment application to aggregated ticket server 200 after authorization verification is successful.

The process of authorization verification by XX payment application server 602 may include verifying whether token1 itself sent to electronic device 100 is the same as token1 received from aggregated ticket server 200. If the authorization verification is the same, the authorization verification is successful. Otherwise, the authorization verification fails. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific implementation method of the authorization verification.

S521, the coupon server 200 stores the correspondence between the user ID1 and the user ID2.

Upon receiving the above-described user ID2, the coupon server 200 may store the correspondence between the user ID1 and the user ID2. The user ID1 and the user ID2 have a corresponding relationship, and can represent a consumer who has a consumer account corresponding to the user ID1 in the aggregated ticket platform and has a consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application.

Through the above-mentioned authorization process, in the case where the consumer account corresponding to the user ID1 is logged into the aggregated ticket application, the electronic device 100 may display virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application on the user interface of the aggregated ticket application.

(3) Step S522 to step S526: the aggregated ticket platform aggregates virtual property information of consumers on the consumer payment platform.

S522, XX payment application server 602 sends virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application to aggregated ticket server 200.

In some examples, upon determining that the aggregated ticket management platform has rights to manage virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application, XX payment application server 602 may send virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application to aggregated ticket server 200. The XX payment application server 602 may send, to the aggregated ticket server 200, virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application, periodically, or aperiodically, or when the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application changes.

The aggregated ticket server 200 may store virtual good information for the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

In some examples, a syndication ticket application and an XX payment application are installed in the electronic device 100. The account logged in the XX payment application in electronic device 100 may be a consumer payment type account corresponding to user ID 2. The electronic device 100 may have stored therein virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application. The virtual property information may be specifically stored in a storage space corresponding to the XX payment application in the electronic device 100. When the aggregated ticket application in the electronic device 100 receives operation 2 in step S515, the aggregated ticket application may obtain, from the XX payment application in the electronic device 100 after the authorization verification is completed, virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application. The XX payment application may obtain virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application locally (i.e., in the storage space of electronic device 100) and send to the aggregated ticket application.

That is, virtual good information of a consumer at one or more consumer paymate platforms displayed by the aggregated ticket application in electronic device 100 may not be obtained by aggregated ticket server 200 from server 600 at the consumer paymate side. In the case where the consumer authorizes the aggregated ticket platform to manage its own virtual good information at one or more consumer payment platforms, the aggregated ticket application in the electronic device 100 may obtain the virtual good information from the consumer payment applications corresponding to the one or more consumer payment platforms in the electronic device 100.

The method for acquiring the virtual property information by the aggregated ticket application is not limited by the embodiment of the application.

S523, the electronic device 100 requests the coupon aggregation server 200 to acquire the virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to the user ID 1.

In some examples, when a user operation to view virtual good information is detected, electronic device 100 may request to aggregated coupon server 200 to obtain virtual good information for the consumer corresponding to user ID 1. The user operation for viewing the virtual property information may be, for example, a user operation acting on the aggregate ticket control 422A shown in fig. 4B, or an operation acting on the XX payment option 461B shown in fig. 4I. The embodiment of the application is not limited to the above user operation. The electronic device 100 may have a syndicated coupon application running thereon, and the syndicated coupon application logs in with the consumer account corresponding to the user ID 1.

S524, the aggregated ticket server 200 obtains virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application according to the corresponding relation between the user ID1 and the user ID 2.

The aggregated ticket server 200 may store therein information of the consumer payment type account having a correspondence relationship with the user ID 1. For example, user ID1 has a correspondence with a consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

In some examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may retrieve virtual good information in the XX payment application for the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 sent by last XX payment application server 602 from memory.

In other examples, upon determining that user ID1 corresponds to a user ID, aggregated coupon server 200 may send a request to XX payment application server 602 to obtain virtual property information of the consumer payment class account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application. The method for the aggregated ticket server 200 to obtain the virtual good information is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S525, the aggregated ticket server 200 sends virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application to the electronic device 100.

In some examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may send to electronic device 100 virtual good information for the consumer payment class account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application in response to a request by electronic device 100 to obtain virtual good information for the consumer corresponding to user ID1 (i.e., step S523 described above). As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, the user ID1 and the user ID2 have a correspondence relationship. The consumer corresponding to user ID1 is the same as the consumer corresponding to user ID 2.

In other examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may send virtual good information for a consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application to electronic device 100 on a periodic or irregular basis according to user ID 1. For example, if the aggregated coupon server 200 receives updated virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application without receiving a request from the electronic device 100 to acquire virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to the user ID1, the aggregated coupon server 200 may transmit the updated virtual property information to the electronic device 100. That is, the above step S523 is optional.

S526, the electronic device 100 may display the virtual good information.

The electronic device 100 may display the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application in the aggregated ticket application (the scene for displaying the virtual property information may refer to the scene shown in fig. 4F described above).

As can be seen from the method shown in FIG. 5, a consumer can authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage his or her own virtual good information on multiple consumer payment platforms, so that his or her own virtual good information on multiple consumer payment platforms can be viewed in one place (e.g., in an aggregated coupon application). The method and the system can facilitate the user to manage the virtual property of the user on different consumption payment platforms, and improve the use experience of the user.

Based on the foregoing communication system 10 shown in fig. 1, a scenario of deploying a beacon by an offline shop and a scenario of subscribing an offline shop by a payment platform for consumption will be described below.

Fig. 6A and 6B illustrate exemplary scenarios for registering a merchant account at an aggregated ticket platform.

As shown in fig. 6A, the off-line shop-side electronic device 300 may run a syndication ticket application, displaying a user interface 610.

In some examples, the aggregated coupon application run by the electronic device 300 may be an off-line shop-oriented application. The aggregated ticket application will be described herein as an example of a web application. It will be appreciated that the aggregated ticket application may also be other types of applications.

As shown in fig. 6A, the user interface 610 may include a web site entry box 611, a store registration information entry area 612, and a registration control 613. The website input box 611 may be used to input a website. For example, the website 611A may be input in the website input frame 611: https:// xxxxx/xxxx. The web address 611A may be a web address corresponding to a user interface for shop registration in the aggregated ticket application. The web site 611A is merely illustrative of an embodiment of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

The store registration information entry area 612 may display components for populating registration information for registering the store account. Such as a shop name component, an account password component. The store name component described above may be used to input the name of an off-line store (e.g., "AB supermarket"). The account password component can be used for inputting passwords for logging in a shop account. The registration information of the registration store account may include one or more of the following: shop name, account number and password, social unified credit code of off-line shops, shop name of off-line shops. The embodiment of the application does not limit the content of the registration information of the registration shop account.

The registration control 613 described above may be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to request registration of a merchant account with the aggregated ticket server 200. In response to the operation of registration control 613 shown in fig. 6A, electronic device 300 may send a request to aggregated ticket server 200 to register a merchant account. The request may include registration information received by the electronic device 300 at the store registration information input area 612. Upon receiving a request for registering a merchant account of the electronic device 300, the aggregated ticket server 200 may allocate a merchant account at the aggregated ticket platform for the off-line merchant according to the above-described registration information. The aggregated ticket server 200 may transmit account information of the above-allocated store account, such as a store ID, to the electronic device 300. The embodiment of the application does not limit the account information of the account. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store account information for the store accounts described above.

As shown in fig. 6B, upon receiving the account information of the above account transmitted from the aggregated ticket server 200, the electronic device 300 may display a registration success prompt 614. The registration success prompt 614 may be used to prompt the store of the off-line store for successful registration of the store account with the aggregated ticket platform, as well as the store ID of the store account. For example, the store ID of the store account is 11111111. The shop ID described above is only an exemplary illustration of an embodiment of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

The electronic device 300 may log in a corresponding merchant account on the aggregated ticket application according to the merchant ID described above.

Fig. 6C and 6D show schematic views of a scenario in which a beacon is deployed at an on-line lower shop.

In some examples, the off-line shop-side electronic device 300 may log in to the shop account on the aggregated ticket application, displaying the user interface 620 shown in fig. 6C. User interface 620 may be a beacon-deployed user interface.

As shown in fig. 6C, the user interface 620 may include a web address input box 611, a store ID indication control 621, and a deployment beacon control 622. The website displayed in the website input frame 611 may be a website corresponding to the user interface currently displayed by the electronic device 300. For example, the website 611B is displayed in the website input frame 611: https:// xxxxx/aaaa. Web address 611B may be a web address corresponding to the user interface (i.e., user interface 620) used to deploy beacon in the aggregated coupon application. The web address 611B is merely an exemplary illustration of an embodiment of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

The store ID indication control 621 may be used to indicate a store ID corresponding to a store account registered in the current aggregated ticket application. For example, the shop ID is 11111111. That is, the electronic device 300 may log in the syndicated ticket application with the store account having the store ID 11111111 and deploy the beacon for the off-line store (the AB supermarket shown in fig. 6A) registering the store account.

Deployment beacon control 622 may be used to trigger electronic device 300 to display a user interface for deploying beacons.

Illustratively, in response to the operation of deploying the beacon control 622 shown in fig. 6C, the electronic device 300 may display the user interface 630 shown in fig. 6D. The user interface 630 may include a beacon information input area 631, a determination control 632, and a cancel control 633.

The beacon information input area 631 may display therein a control for inputting information of the beacon to be deployed. The information of the to-be-deployed beacon may include a beacon id. The embodiment of the application does not limit the content of the information of the beacon to be deployed. For example, a store of an off-line shop may input a beacon ID of a beacon to be deployed in the beacon information input area 631: 12345678. the beacon ID is merely an exemplary illustration of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

Cancellation control 633 may be used to cancel deployment of a beacon.

The determination control 632 may be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to send a beacon deployment request to the aggregated coupon server 200. The beacon deployment request may include a shop ID (such as the shop ID:11111111 shown in FIG. 6C) and a beacon ID (such as the beacon ID:12345678 shown in FIG. 6D). The aggregated ticket server 200 may store the binding relationship between the shop ID and the beacon ID in the beacon deployment request according to the beacon deployment request. In this way, the aggregated ticket server 200 may determine the binding relationship of each off-line store to the beacon. Upon detecting that the consumer-side electronic device 100 is within the beacon's signal range, the aggregated coupon server 200 may determine which off-line shop the consumer of the electronic device 100 specifically enters.

In some examples, when storing the binding of the marketplace ID and the beacon ID, the aggregated ticket server 200 may send a message to the electronic device 300 indicating that the beacon deployment is complete. The electronic device 300 may then display a prompt message to prompt the store's beacon deployment of the off-line shop to complete.

In some examples, the beacon ID of the above beacon may be obtained from a server (e.g., the aggregated coupon server 200). Wherein, when the merchant deploys the beacon at the online lower shop, the aggregated ticket application may be run on the electronic device 300. The electronic device 300 may display the user interface 620 shown in fig. 6C. Deployment beacon control 622 may be used to trigger electronic device 300 to request a beacon ID from aggregated coupon server 200. In response to a user operation to deploy the beacon control 622, the electronic device 300 may send a request to the syndication ticket server 200 to obtain a beacon ID. The request may include the store ID of the off-line store. The aggregated ticket server 200 may assign a beacon ID to the off-line shop corresponding to the above-described shop ID. The beacon ID may be used to uniquely identify a beacon. Upon receiving the beacon ID, the electronic device 300 may display the beacon ID. Further, the store may write the beacon ID acquired from the coupon server 200 in the beacon. Thus, the beacon can carry the above beacon ID in a message broadcast by itself.

It can be seen that the beacon ID of the beacon may be either self-carried (e.g., preset at the factory) or the user of the beacon (e.g., the store of the off-line shop) applies from the server and writes the beacon. The embodiment of the application does not limit the implementation mode of the beacon deployment of the off-line shop.

FIG. 6E illustrates a schematic view of a scenario in which a payment class platform is consumed off-line from a store.

In some examples, a consumer payment platform may cooperate with one or more off-line shops to promote the consumer payment platform. For example, a consumer payment platform may provide offers to an online store that consumers may use when consuming. Then, the consumer can enjoy the offers provided by the consumer payment platform while the consumer is on-line down-shops using the consumer payment platform for consumption. The consumption payment platform can request to the aggregation coupon platform to acquire the consumer distribution condition of one or more off-line shops, so that preferential use reminding is pushed in a targeted manner for consumers entering the off-line shops, and a better popularization effect is achieved.

As can be seen from the foregoing scenario illustrated in fig. 6A and 6B, the off-line merchant may register a merchant account with the aggregated coupon platform. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store account information for each of the merchant accounts. According to the account information of the shop accounts, the aggregated ticket platform can provide off-line shops corresponding to the shop accounts for the consumer payment platform to select. The consumer payment platform may choose to subscribe to one or more off-line merchants with the aggregated coupon platform.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 6E, the consumer paymate operator-side electronic device 500 may run a aggregated coupon application, displaying a user interface 640.

In some examples, the aggregated coupon application run by electronic device 500 may be a consumer payment class platform oriented application. The aggregated ticket application will be described herein as an example of a web application. It will be appreciated that the aggregated ticket application may also be other types of applications.

As shown in fig. 6E, the user interface 640 may include a web site entry box 643, a store selection area 641, and a subscription control 642. The website input box 643 may be used for inputting a website. For example, the website 643A may be entered in the website input box 643: https:// bbbbbb/bbbb. The web site 643A may be a web site corresponding to a user interface for subscribing to an off-line store in the aggregated ticket application. The web site 643A is merely illustrative of an embodiment of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

One or more off-line shop options are available for display in the shop selection area 641. The off-line shop option in the shop selection area 641 may be used for an operator of the consumer payment platform to select an off-line shop to which the consumer payment platform needs to subscribe. The off-line shop option in the shop selection area 641 may be determined by the aggregated ticket server 200 according to a shop account registered in the aggregated ticket platform. For example, the off-line shop options described above may include AB supermarket option 641A, AD coffee shop option 641B, AG roast option 641C, AC game shop option, AE clothing shop option, AF car wash option. The embodiment of the application does not limit the off-line shop options. An operator consuming a paymate (e.g., XX payment application) may select AB supermarket option 641A, AD coffee shop option 641B, AG roast option 641C. That is, the consumer payment platform may subscribe to the aggregated coupon platform for the offline store corresponding to the selected offline store option.

The subscription control 642 described above may be used to trigger the electronic device 500 to send a request to the aggregated coupon platform to subscribe to an off-line store. The request for subscribing to the off-line shop may include information of the off-line shop corresponding to the off-line shop option selected in the shop selection area 641. Upon receiving the above-described request to subscribe to the off-line store, the aggregated ticket server 200 may store the subscription relationship of the consumer payment platform to the off-line store. Thus, when an off-line shop subscribed to the consumer payment platform has consumer access, the aggregated ticket server 200 may send information of the consumer and the off-line shop to the server 600 on the consumer payment platform side. The server 600 may query the consumer for a preference to use when consuming at the off-line shop using the payment platform of the server 600, and push a preference use reminder to the consumer.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, off-line shops may deploy beacons. The aggregated ticket platform can determine which consumers enter each off-line store through the binding relationship between the off-line store and the beacon. The consumer payment platform may subscribe to the aggregated coupon platform for off-line merchants. The aggregated coupon platform may then notify the consumer payment platform when consumer entry is available in an off-line store to which the consumer payment platform subscribes. In this way, the consumer payment platform can purposefully push preferential use reminders for each user. The method and the system can remind the user of which offers are available when the consumer needs to consume, so that the virtual assets of the consumer are fully used, and the consumer payment platform can be helped to promote the popularization effect.

The implementation method of the off-line shop deployment beacon provided by the embodiment of the application is specifically described below.

Reference is made to the method flow diagram shown in fig. 7. The method flow chart may comprise steps S711 to S720. Wherein:

(1) Step S711 to step S714: registering a merchant account with the aggregated ticket platform.

S711, the electronic device 300 on the off-line shop side receives the operation W1 of registering the shop account in the aggregated ticket application.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 may display a user interface for registering a merchant account with the aggregated ticket platform (with reference to the user interface 610 shown in fig. 6A, described previously). The store of the off-line store may fill in registration information that registers the store account on the user interface. Wherein the registration information may include one or more of: shop name, account number and password, social unified credit code of off-line shops, shop name of off-line shops. The embodiment of the application does not limit the content of the registration information. The operation W1 may be, for example, the operation of the registration control 613 shown in fig. 6A described above.

S712, the electronic device 300 transmits a registration request to the coupon server 200 according to operation W1.

The registration request may include registration information for the merchant account as described above.

S713, the aggregated ticket server 200 assigns a shop ID on the aggregated ticket platform to the off-line shop according to the registration request.

In some examples, the aggregated ticket server 200 allocates a merchant account at the aggregated ticket platform for the off-line merchant associated with the registration information. The store account may have corresponding account information. For example, the account information may contain a shop ID (the shop ID may refer to the aforementioned shop ID shown in fig. 6B). The store ID may be used to uniquely identify the store account to which the store ID corresponds at the aggregated ticket platform. The aggregated ticket server 200 may store account information for the store account. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the content of the account information, and the following embodiment specifically uses the shop ID as an example.

S714, the coupon server 200 transmits a message indicating that registration is completed to the electronic device 300.

The shop ID may be included in the message indicating the completion of registration.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 may log in a store account corresponding to the store ID in the aggregated ticket application using the store ID described above.

(2) Step S715 to step S717: the off-line shop deploys beacon.

S715, the electronic device 300 receives the operation W2, where the operation W2 is used to deploy the beacon.

In some examples, electronic device 300 may display a user interface for deploying beacon in a syndication ticket application (see user interface 630 shown in fig. 6D, previously described). The store of the off-line shop can fill in the beacon information of the beacon to be deployed on the user interface. The beacon information may include a beacon ID. The beacon ID may be used to uniquely identify the beacon to be deployed. The beacon information may include other contents, not limited to the beacon ID. The operation W2 may be, for example, the operation of the determination control 632 shown in fig. 6D described above.

S716, the electronic device 300 sends a beacon deployment request to the aggregation ticket server 200 according to the operation W2, wherein the beacon deployment request comprises a shop ID and a beacon ID.

S717, the coupon server 200 stores the binding relationship between the shop ID and the beacon ID.

The binding relationship between the shop ID and the beacon ID may indicate that the beacon identified by the beacon ID is deployed in the offline shop to which the shop ID belongs. The electronic device 100 at the consumer side entering the beacon signal range identified by the beacon ID may indicate that the user to which the electronic device 100 belongs enters an off-line shop to which the shop ID having a binding relationship with the beacon ID belongs.

(3) Step S718 to step S720: the consumer payment platform subscribes to off-line shops.

S718, XX payment application operator-side electronic device 502 sends a request to aggregate ticket server 200 to subscribe to the off-line store.

The XX payment application subscription off-line shop is specifically illustrated herein. It will be appreciated that other methods of consuming the paymate off-line store may be the same as the method of the XX payment application off-line store. The present application will not be described in detail.

In addition, as shown in fig. 7, the electronic device 500 on the consumer payment platform operator side in the embodiment of the present application may be a generic term for electronic devices used by each consumer payment platform operator. It will be appreciated that the electronic devices used by operators of different consumer payment platforms may be different. For example, the wallet application operator side electronic device 501 may be used by an operator of the wallet application. The electronic device 502 on the XX payment application operator side may be used by operators of XX payment applications. The B-bank application operator side electronic device 503 may be used by an operator of the B-bank application.

In some examples, electronic device 502 may receive an option to select one or more off-line shops and perform a subscription operation. The above operations may refer to operations that act on the user interface 640 shown in fig. 6E, described above. The electronic device 502 may then send a request to the aggregated coupon server 200 to subscribe to the off-line store. The request may include information about the offline store to which the XX payment application requests subscription.

S719, the aggregated ticket server 200 stores the subscription relationship of the XX payment application with the off-line shop.

S720, the aggregated ticket server 200 sends a notification to the electronic device 502 that the subscription was successful.

In some examples, when the offline store is subscribed to be up, electronic device 502 may send information of the offline store to which the XX payment application is subscribed to XX payment application server 602. XX payment application server 602 can store information for offline shops subscribed to by XX payment applications.

In some examples, the operator of the XX payment application may also utilize the aggregated ticket application to modify the offline store to which the XX payment application subscribes. For example, the off-line shops to which the XX payment application has subscribed are cancelled, and the off-line shops to which the XX payment application has subscribed are added.

The steps of registering the shop account in the aggregated ticket platform (i.e., S711 to S714) and the steps of subscribing the off-line shop in the payment platform (i.e., S718 to S720) are not limited in order. The steps of deploying beacon (i.e. S715-S717) and the steps of consuming the payment platform off-line shop (i.e. S718-S720) are not limited in sequence. The off-line shop options provided by the aggregated ticket application in the scene of subscribing the off-line shop comprise options corresponding to the off-line shop with the aggregated ticket platform registered with the shop account.

In some examples, the electronic device 500 described above may be an electronic device on the aggregated coupon platform operator side. The electronic device 500 may receive the needs of one or more consumer paymate platforms subscription off-line stores. According to the above-described requirements, the electronic device 500 may send a request to the aggregated coupon server 200 to subscribe to the off-line shop, thereby implementing the requirements of the off-line shop of the consumer payment platform.

As can be seen from the method of FIG. 7 described above, the off-line shop may deploy beacon. The aggregated ticket platform can determine which consumers enter each off-line store through the binding relationship between the off-line store and the beacon. The consumer payment platform may subscribe to the aggregated coupon platform for off-line merchants. The aggregated coupon platform may then notify the consumer payment platform when consumer entry is available in an off-line store to which the consumer payment platform subscribes. In this way, the consumer payment platform can purposefully push preferential use reminders for each user. The method and the system can remind the user of which offers are available when the consumer needs to consume, so that the virtual assets of the consumer are fully used, and the consumer payment platform can be helped to promote the popularization effect.

Based on the foregoing communication system 10 shown in fig. 1, a scenario of popularization information distribution provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below.

Fig. 8A to 8C are schematic diagrams illustrating a scenario of popularization information distribution, for example.

Here, description will be given by taking an example of a scenario in which a consumer enters an off-line shop named "AB supermarket" and the AB supermarket is deployed with the beacon 400. Wherein, the beacon400 can be positioned at any place in the AB supermarket. For example, the checkout counter of an AB supermarket, the doorway of an AB supermarket, etc. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 8A, beacon400 may broadcast a bluetooth signal based on bluetooth technology. The bluetooth signal broadcast by the beacon400 may carry the beacon ID of the beacon 400. An electronic device within the signal range of beacon400 may receive a bluetooth signal broadcast by beacon 400.

When a consumer brings the electronic device 100 into an AB supermarket and moves within the signal range of the beacon400, the electronic device 100 may receive a bluetooth signal broadcast by the beacon 400. Based on the bluetooth signal described above, the electronic device 100 can obtain the beacon ID of the beacon 400.

Further, the electronic device 100 may determine a consumer ID of a consumer account logged in on the aggregated ticket application in the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may send the consumer ID and the received beacon ID to the aggregated ticket server 200. The aggregated ticket server 200 may determine that the consumer associated with the consumer ID enters the AB supermarket based on the binding relationship of the beacon ID and the store ID. The aggregated ticket server 200 may find a consumer payment platform that has a subscription relationship with the AB supermarket. For example, XX Payment applications have a subscription relationship with an AB supermarket. The aggregated ticket server 200 may send a message to XX payment application server 602 indicating that the consumer associated with the consumer ID entered the AB supermarket. XX payment application server 602 may query the consumer associated with the consumer ID for offers that can be used by the XX payment application in the AB supermarket and send the offer information to aggregated coupon server 200.

Upon receiving the coupon information transmitted from XX payment application server 602, aggregated coupon server 200 may transmit the coupon information to electronic device 100. In addition to the XX payment application described above, the aggregated ticket server 200 may also send a message to other servers on the consumer payment platform side that have a subscription relationship with the AB supermarket indicating that the consumer associated with the consumer ID entered the AB supermarket. The aggregated coupon service 200 may receive the offer information sent by the server on the consumer payment platform side in subscription relationship with the AB supermarket and send the offer information to the electronic device 100.

Upon receiving the above-described offer information, the electronic device 100 may display a notification 811 in the user interface 810 shown in fig. 8A. The notification 811 may be used to prompt the user for available offers in the AB supermarket. For example, the notification 811 may include the text prompt "coupon reminder: detecting that you enter an AB supermarket, if you have coupons available in the AB supermarket, clicking a message to view the coupons. The text prompt content in the notification 811 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some examples, the notification 811 may be from a wallet application in the electronic device 100. The wallet application can be integrated with an aggregation ticket application and can be used for providing a function of pushing preferential use reminding for a user. In some examples, the syndication ticket application may be a separate APP. The notification 811 may be from a syndicated coupon application in the electronic device 100.

In response to the operation of the notification 811, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 820 shown in fig. 8B. The user interface 820 may be used to display specific content of the offer information received by the electronic device 100.

Illustratively, the offer information received by the electronic device 100 may include: the wallet application's 3-membered coupon information, the XX payment application's 5-membered coupon information, the B bank application's 1.6-membered coupon information. The user interface 820 may include: usage control 821, usage control 822, and usage control 823. Among other things, the usage control 821 may be used for a 3-membered coupon that a consumer uses a wallet application. The use control 822 may be for a 5-membered coupon for a consumer using a XX Payment application. The use control 823 may be used for a 1.6-membered coupon that the consumer uses a B-bank application.

It can be seen that the user interface 820 can include information on offers provided by a plurality of consumer payment platforms. The consumer may select one or more offers in the user interface 820 for use in the AB supermarket for consumption.

For example, the consumer selects a 5-membered coupon using the XX Payment application. In response to operation of the use control 822, the electronic device 100 may launch the XX Payment application and display the user interface 830 shown in FIG. 8C. User interface 830 may be a user interface for payment in a XX payment application.

As shown in fig. 8C, the user interface 830 may include a payment code 831, a payment method 832, a coupon control 833. The payment code 831 can be used to present the consumer to the store of the off-line store at the time of payment to complete the payment. Payment means 832 may be used to indicate a payment account for a deduction when making a payment using the XX payment application. It will be appreciated that the consumer payment platform may provide a variety of different payment means, and that the payment account for the payment may be different for the deduction. For example, payment means in XX payment applications may include balance payments, bank card payments, and the like. Coupon controls 833 may be used to indicate coupon information that may be used in payment.

It should be understood that the user interfaces shown in the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 8A-8C are merely exemplary of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

As can be seen from the above-described scenarios shown in fig. 8A to 8C, a beacon may be deployed in the off-line shop. When the consumer carries the electronic device 100 into the off-line shop and reaches the signal range of the beacon, the electronic device 100 can query the aggregated coupon server 200 for the preferential information that the consumer of the electronic device 100 can use at the current off-line shop. The aggregated ticket server 200 may obtain, from a server on the consumer payment platform side, coupon information that the consumer can use at the currently located display shop according to the subscription relationship between the currently located online lower shop and the consumer payment platform, and send the coupon information to the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 can prompt the consumer to consume the available offers at the currently on-line store. The offers may be those provided at multiple consumer payment platforms. Thus, after entering the off-line shop, the user can quickly know which coupons can be used by the user on the off-line shop without opening different consumption payment applications to check which coupons the user owns. The method can help consumers reasonably and fully use the virtual property of each consumption payment platform, fully utilize offers in consumption, and improve the popularization effect of each consumption payment platform.

The implementation method of the popularization and consumption payment platform provided by the embodiment of the application is specifically described below.

Fig. 9 illustrates a flow chart of a promotional information distribution method. The method may include steps S911 to S919.

Wherein:

s911, beacon400 broadcasts message 1, message 1 containing the beacon ID of beacon 400.

In some examples, beacon400 may broadcast message 1 based on bluetooth technology. An electronic device within the signal range of beacon400 may receive message 1 described above. Wherein the signal range of beacon400 is adjustable. For example, the greater the bluetooth power of the beacon400 broadcasting message 1, the greater the signal range of the beacon 400.

Not limited to the beacon400 described above, the off-line shop may also deploy devices employing other communication technologies (e.g., WLAN technology, NFC technology, etc.) to send identification information to electronic devices that reach the off-line shop's designated location. The off-line shop designation location may include a location within a signal range of the device transmitting the identification information. In the present application, beacon400 using bluetooth technology is specifically taken as an example for illustration.

S912, the consumer-side electronic device 100 receives the message 1.

The consumer carries the electronic device 100 into an off-line shop deploying the beacon400, for example, an off-line shop named "AB supermarket". Bluetooth of the electronic device 100 is in an on state. When the electronic device 100 moves within the signal range of the beacon400, the electronic device 100 may receive the above message 1.

S913, the electronic device 100 sends a coupon information inquiry request to the coupon aggregation server 200 according to the message 1, where the coupon information inquiry request includes the beacon ID and the user ID1, and the consumer account corresponding to the user ID1 is the account logged in the coupon aggregation application of the electronic device 100.

In some examples, a syndicated coupon application is installed in the electronic device 100 and has a consumer account corresponding to user ID1 logged into the syndicated coupon application. That is, the consumer to which the electronic device 100 belongs registers a consumer account with the coupon aggregation platform, and the account information of the consumer account includes the user ID1.

Upon receiving the above message 1, the electronic device 100 can obtain the beacon ID of the beacon400 from the message 1. The electronic device 100 may transmit a coupon information inquiry request to the coupon server 200. The coupon information query request contains a beacon ID and a user ID1. It will be appreciated that the electronic device 100 receiving the message 1 may indicate that the consumer to which the electronic device 100 belongs reaches an offline store where the beacon400 is deployed, and that a consumer need may exist. The electronic device 100 may request, through the aggregated coupon application, that the aggregated coupon server 200 query which available offers the consumer has at the current online store.

The coupon information inquiry request received by the aggregate coupon server 200 contains a beacon ID and a user ID1. The user ID1 may identify the identity information of the consumer in order for the aggregated coupon server 200 to determine which consumer is. The beacon ID may identify the off-line store to facilitate the aggregated coupon server 200 in determining which off-line store the consumer arrived at.

S914, the aggregated ticket server 200 determines the off-line shop 1 corresponding to the shop ID bound with the beacon ID according to the request for inquiring the preferential information, and determines that the off-line shop 1 is subscribed by the XX payment application.

In some examples, the aggregated ticket server 200 may determine that the off-line store deploying the beacon400 is the off-line store 1 (e.g., the off-line store named "AB supermarket" as described above) based on the binding of the beacon ID and the store ID. Further, the aggregated ticket server 200 may query what consumer payment class platforms are at store 1 off-line of the aggregated ticket platform subscription. Here, the XX payment application is specifically described as subscribing to the off-line shop 1.

S915, the aggregated ticket server 200 sends message 2 to XX payment application server 602, message 2 indicating that the consumer associated with user ID1 enters offline store 1.

S916, XX payment application server 602 determines from message 2 that the consumer associated with user ID1 has coupon 1 available for consumption by on-line store 1 in the XX payment application.

In some examples, the consumer-authorized aggregated ticket platform associated with user ID1 described above manages its virtual good in the XX payment application. As can be seen from S521 in the method shown in fig. 5, after authorization, the aggregated ticket server 200 may store the correspondence between the user ID1 and the user ID2 of the consumer in the XX payment application. It will be appreciated that the account system used by the aggregated coupon platform and the XX payment application for consumer login is different. The aggregated ticket platform can determine the identity information of the consumer through the user ID 1. Whereas XX payment applications can determine the identity information of a consumer via user ID2 as described above. The consumer associated with user ID1 and the consumer associated with user ID2 may be the same. That is, a consumer may register and log into the consumer account corresponding to user ID1 at the aggregated ticket application and register and log into the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 at the XX payment application.

When the correspondence between user ID1 and user ID2 is queried, aggregated coupon server 200 may send message 2 to XX payment application server 602. The message 2 may include the user ID2 and identification information of the off-line shop 1. In this way, XX Payment application server 602 may determine from message 2 that the consumer associated with user ID2 (i.e., the consumer associated with user ID 1) entered offline store 1. XX payment application server 602 can then determine which of the consumer associated with user ID2 has an offer in the XX payment application that can be used for consumption by online store 1 based on the offer rules provided by the XX payment application.

Specifically, XX payment application server 602 may determine, based on the virtual property possessed by the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application and the offers provided by XX payment application on-line lower shop 1, offers that consumer on-line lower shop 1 associated with user ID2 can use.

Illustratively, the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 has a coupon Q1 in the XX payment application. The coupon Q1 may be used when consumed by the on-line store 1. The coupon Q1 is the virtual good of the consumer associated with the user ID 2. For example, coupon Q1 may be received by the consumer associated with user ID2 once having satisfied the coupon receiving rules, or purchased by the consumer associated with user ID 2. I.e., coupon Q1 may not be available to all consumers. The XX payment application offers to the on-line lower shop 1 also include coupon Q2. The coupon Q2 may be used when consumed by any consumer using the XX payment application.

Then XX Payment application server 602 determines from message 2 that coupon 1 owned by the consumer associated with user ID1 may comprise: coupon Q1, coupon Q2.

In other examples, aggregated coupon server 200 does not query account information for the consumer payment type account corresponding to user ID1 in the XX payment application. Aggregated coupon server 200 may send message 2 to XX payment application server 602. The message 2 may contain identification information of the off-line shop 1. The information in message 2 indicating the consumer may be empty.

Upon receiving message 2, XX Payment application server 602 may determine which of the offers provided by XX Payment application on-line with store 1 are applicable to all consumers based on the offer rules provided by XX Payment application. The above-mentioned offers applicable to all consumers are those available when the consumer associated with the above-mentioned user ID1 uses the XX payment application to consume at the online store 1.

Illustratively, XX payment application server 602 queries the XX payment application off-line shop to provide coupon Q2. The coupon Q2 may be used when consumed by any consumer using the XX payment application. Then XX Payment application server 602 determines from message 2 that coupon 1 owned by the consumer associated with user ID1 may comprise: coupon Q2.

The above aggregated ticket server 200 does not store account information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID1 in the XX payment application, which may indicate that the consumer associated with the user ID1 does not register the consumer payment account in the XX payment application, or may indicate that the consumer associated with the user ID1 does not authorize the aggregated ticket platform to manage its virtual property in the XX payment application.

In some examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may send message 2 described above to servers on the consumer payment class platform side of all off-line merchants 1. When receiving the message 2, the server on the consumer payment platform side of the offline store 1 may query the consumers associated with the user ID1 about which available offers are available at the online store 1 according to the respective offer rules, and send the offer information to the aggregated coupon server 200.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the aggregated coupon application in the electronic device 100 may not only include the coupon information of the consumer payment platform in which the consumer registers the consumer payment account, but also include the coupon information of the consumer payment platform in which the consumer does not register the consumer payment account. Therefore, the payment platform can be helped to attract more new users, and the popularization effect is improved.

In other examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may send message 2 described above to a server on the consumer payment platform side that satisfies the preset condition. The preset conditions may include: subscribing to the off-line shop 1, and authorizing the consumer associated with the user ID1 to aggregate the consumer payment platform managed by the coupon platform. That is, if the aggregated ticket platform has the authority to manage the virtual good of the consumer associated with user ID1 at one consumer payment platform, but the one consumer payment platform does not subscribe to off-line store 1, aggregated ticket server 200 may not send message 2 described above to the server at the one consumer payment platform side. If one consumer payment platform subscribes to off-line store 1, the single aggregated ticket platform does not have the authority to manage the virtual good of the consumer associated with user ID1 at one consumer payment platform, aggregated ticket server 200 may not send message 2 described above to the server on the one consumer payment platform side. When receiving the message 2, the server on the payment platform side can query the consumers associated with the user ID1 about which available offers are available at the online store 1 according to the respective offer rules, and send the offer information to the aggregated coupon server 200.

The above embodiments can reduce the instances where the aggregated coupon platform passes its own information (e.g., location information of which off-line shops to reach) to one or more consumer payment platforms when the consumer does not authorize the aggregated coupon platform to manage the virtual good of the consumer payment platform or platforms. Thereby improving the security of the user privacy information.

S917, XX payment application server 602 sends a reminder to aggregate coupon server 200 to use coupon 1.

In some examples, in addition to XX payment application server 602, aggregated coupon server 200 may also receive coupon usage alerts sent by servers on the consumer payment class platform side of other off-line store 1.

S918, the coupon server 200 transmits a reminder to use the coupon 1 to the electronic device 100.

The aggregated coupon server 200 may send the reminder to use coupon 1 described above, as well as other coupon use reminders sent by the server on the consumer payment platform side of the off-line store 1, to the electronic device 100.

In some examples, aggregated coupon server 200 may also send the relevant information for coupon 1 described above, as well as coupon-related information corresponding to coupon usage alerts from other consumer payment platforms, to electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 may display the coupons in the interface of the aggregated coupon application according to the relevant information of the coupons 1 and the relevant information of coupons corresponding to the coupon usage reminders from other consumer payment platforms, so as to facilitate the user to view the coupons available to the online store 1 using the respective consumer payment platform in the aggregated coupon application.

Alternatively, upon receiving the alert to use coupon 1 described above, as well as the coupon usage alerts from other consumer payment platforms, the aggregated coupon server 200 may determine which of the coupon-related information corresponding to those alerts has not been updated in the aggregated coupon application of the electronic device 100. The aggregated coupon server 200 may then send coupon-related information that is not updated in the aggregated coupon application of the electronic device 100 to the electronic device 100. In this way, the user can view in the aggregated coupon application the offers available to himself/herself using the various consumer payment platforms under-line store 1.

S919, the electronic device 100 may display a hint message to use coupon 1.

The electronic device 100 displays a scene of a hint message using the coupon 1 may refer to the aforementioned scenes shown in fig. 8A and 8B.

As can be seen from the method of FIG. 9, the aggregated coupon platform can correlate consumers, off-line shops, and consumer payment platforms. Through the beacon deployed by the off-line shop, the aggregated coupon platform can detect if a consumer enters the off-line shop. The consumption payment platform can subscribe the off-line shops through the aggregation coupon platform, so that the distribution condition of consumers in the subscribed off-line shops is acquired, and preferential use reminding is pushed to different users more accurately. Through the aggregated coupon platform, the electronic device 100 may display coupon information available for consumption by the currently located online store using multiple consumer payment platforms after the consumer enters the online store. The method can help consumers reasonably and fully use the virtual property of each consumption payment platform, fully utilize offers in consumption, and improve the popularization effect of each consumption payment platform.

It will be understood that the various user interfaces described in the embodiments of the present application are merely exemplary interfaces and are not limiting on the inventive arrangements. In other embodiments, the user interface may take different interface layouts, may include more or fewer controls, and may add or subtract other functional options, as long as they are within the scope of the present application based on the same inventive concepts provided by the present application.

It should be noted that, any feature in any embodiment of the present application, or any part of any feature may be combined without contradiction or conflict, and the combined technical solution is also within the scope of the embodiment of the present application.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present application, and not for limiting the same; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the application.
