Description

Promotion of information distribution methods, related devices and communication systems

This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on May 11, 2022, with application number 202210510825.2 and the application name "Promotion Information Distribution Method, Related Devices and Communication Systems", the entire content of which is incorporated by reference in in this application.

Technical field

This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to promotion information distribution methods, related devices and communication systems.

Background technique

In order to carry out publicity and promotion, more and more consumer payment platforms often provide coupons for consumption using their respective platforms in offline stores. For example, Huawei’s wallet app can issue coupons to consumers. When consumers use this wallet application to pay at offline stores, they can enjoy the benefits brought by coupons. The above method of providing coupons can increase the popularity and market share of consumer payment platforms, thereby achieving the purpose of promoting consumer payment platforms.

However, there are currently more and more various consumer payment platforms, and many consumer payment platforms provide consumers with a wide variety and large number of coupons. Consumers often don’t know which coupons they have, and they may not remember to use coupons from consumer payment platforms when making purchases in offline stores. This results in poor promotion effect of consumer payment platforms, making it difficult to attract more users to use consumer payment platforms.

Contents of the invention

This application provides promotion information distribution methods, related devices and communication systems. This method can push a reminder of discounts that can be used in the store to the consumer's electronic device when the consumer enters the store. The discounts corresponding to the above-mentioned discount usage reminders may include discounts provided by one or more consumer payment platforms. This not only allows users to quickly understand what discounts are available on various consumer payment platforms when entering the store, but also enables precise promotions for different users and improves the promotion effect of consumer payment platforms.

In the first aspect, this application provides a promotional information distribution method. Wherein, the electronic device receives the first message from the first device, the electronic device is located within the signal range of the first device, and the first message includes the first identification of the first device. The electronic device sends a second message to the first server, where the second message includes the first identification and the second identification of the first user. The electronic device obtains and displays the first preferential information and the second preferential information, and the first preferential information and the second preferential information are both associated with the first identification and the second identification. When detecting that the user selects the first preferential information, the electronic device displays the first interface of the first application. When detecting that the user selects the second preferential information, the electronic device displays the second interface of the second application.

Wherein, the above-mentioned first device may be a device deployed in the first store. The first store can be an offline store. The above-mentioned first preferential information may be promotional information corresponding to the preferential provided by the first consumer payment platform. The above-mentioned second preferential information may be promotional information corresponding to the preferential provided by the second consumer payment platform. Both the above-mentioned first preferential information and the second preferential information can be used to indicate the discounts that the first user can use in the above-mentioned first store. The above-mentioned first application may be an application provided by the first consumer payment platform for users to use on the electronic device. The above-mentioned second application may be an application provided by the second consumer payment platform for users to use on the electronic device. Then, when the user selects the offer provided by the first consumer payment platform (ie, selects the first offer information), the electronic device can display the first interface of the first application. When the user selects a discount provided by the second consumer payment platform (ie, selects the second discount information), the electronic device may display the second interface of the second application.

It can be seen from the above method that when the first user enters the first store, the first user can receive a reminder to use the first preferential information and the second preferential information on the electronic device he carries. In this way, after entering the first store, the first user can quickly understand what discounts are available to him on various consumer payment platforms. This can help users efficiently use their virtual properties on various consumer payment platforms and improve their user experience. Furthermore, the above reminder for using the first preferential information and the second preferential information may be directed to the first user. If different users can use different discounts in the same store, the electronic devices of different users can display different discount information based on the discounts of each consumer payment platform. Users can easily choose a discount provided by a consumer payment platform for consumption based on the above discount tips. This can achieve precise promotions for different users and improve the promotion effect of consumer payment platforms.

In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned first device may be a beacon. Beacon is a physical device based on Bluetooth technology. Beacon can send its own beacon ID to the surroundings through Bluetooth technology. The beacon ID can be used to uniquely identify the beacon. That is to say, the above-mentioned first message may be a Bluetooth message. The first identifier in the first message may be the beacon ID of the beacon.

In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second identifier of the first user may be used by the first server to identify the first user. Wherein, the first user can register a consumer account on the first server through an application corresponding to the first server. The first server may assign a consumer account to the first user. This consumer account can be used to uniquely identify a user in the first server. That is to say, the above-mentioned second identifier may be a consumer account number. The above-mentioned first server may be the aggregation coupon server mentioned in the embodiment of this application. The application corresponding to the first server may be the aggregation coupon application mentioned in the embodiment of this application.

In connection with the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the first device is deployed in the first store, the first identifier of the first device has an association with the first store account of the first store on the first server. . Among them, the store owner of the first store can register a store account on the first server through the application corresponding to the first server. The first server can assign a first store account to the first store. The first store account can be used to uniquely identify a store in the first server. The first server may determine that the first device is associated with the first store (the first device is deployed in the first store) through the association between the first identifier and the first store account. Then, when the electronic device enters the signal range of the first device, it can mean that the first user carrying the electronic device enters the above-mentioned first store. Further, the first server can send promotional information to the first user's electronic device, prompting the first user which discounts provided by the consumer payment platform are available when consuming at the first store.

The above-mentioned first preferential information and the above-mentioned second preferential information are only illustrative descriptions, and the electronic device can also receive more or fewer usage reminders of discounts provided by consumer payment platforms.

In connection with the first aspect, in some embodiments, when it is detected that the user selects the first preferential information and the electronic device displays the first interface of the first application, the electronic device also detects an operation of using the first preferential information on the first interface. The electronic device uses the coupon corresponding to the first discount information to make payment through the first application.

It can be seen that the first user can use the first preferential information or the second preferential information when making purchases at the first store. If the first user chooses to use the first preferential information, the electronic device can pay through the first application and use the coupon corresponding to the first preferential information when making payment, thereby helping the first user reduce the actual payment amount. The above-mentioned electronic device uses the coupon corresponding to the first discount information to make payment through the first application, which may include the following two situations:

1. The first application can provide the consumption function of selecting goods, but it cannot provide the payment function. For example, the first user can select a store that he needs to purchase from in the first application. When completing product selection and payment, the first user needs to pay through other payment applications to complete the purchase of the product. The first application may provide one or more payment method options. The above-mentioned one or more payment method options can be used to instruct the electronic device to jump to the payment interface of the corresponding payment application. This can facilitate the first user to quickly open the payment interface to complete the payment after selecting the product. Since the first user can use the coupon corresponding to the first preferential information, the above-mentioned first application can cost according to the amount of goods selected by the first user. The final amount that the first user needs to pay is determined based on the discounted amount of the coupon. The first application may send information on the final amount to be paid to the corresponding payment application according to the payment method selected by the first user.

2. The first application can provide payment functions. That is, the first application may be a payment application. The first user can make a payment using the first application. When making payment, the first application can automatically deduct the discounted amount based on the coupon corresponding to the first discount information, thereby helping the first user reduce the actual payment amount.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, after a user enters a store, he or she can quickly learn which discounts he or she can use in the store without having to open different consumer payment applications to check which coupons he or she owns. The above method can not only help consumers rationally and fully use the virtual properties of various consumer payment platforms and make full use of discounts when consuming, but also improve the promotion effect of each consumer payment platform.

Combined with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second identification is associated with the first user account, and the first user account is the user account in the first application; the second identification is associated with the second user account, and the second user account is the user account in the second application.

In some embodiments, consumer payment platforms may use offline billboards or online advertisements for publicity and promotion. Promote to remind users of discounts available at designated offline stores. This can attract more users to use the promoted consumer payment platform and achieve the purpose of publicity and promotion.

The above-mentioned consumer payment platform may refer to a platform used to provide consumption and/or payment functions. For example, Huawei Pay, Alipay Pay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay Pay, Dianping, etc. The above-mentioned consumer payment platforms usually have corresponding applications. Users can install the corresponding application of the consumer payment platform in their electronic devices to use the benefits provided by the consumer payment platform. The purpose of promoting consumer payment platforms may include attracting more users to install and use the applications corresponding to the consumer payment platform. For example, Huawei Pay has Huawei’s wallet application. Users can enjoy the benefits provided by Huawei Pay when using the wallet application to pay at designated offline stores.

The above-mentioned offline billboards may include billboards arranged near offline stores. The above-mentioned billboards may be paper billboards, electronic billboards, etc. The above-mentioned online advertising can include pushing advertising messages to users and so on.

The above-mentioned offline stores can refer to stores with physical stores, such as supermarkets, game stores, coffee shops, clothing stores, etc. Users can purchase products for consumption in offline stores. Offline shops can also be called physical shops, physical stores, offline merchants, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the types of offline stores. Offline stores can cooperate with consumer payment platforms. Among them, consumer payment platforms can provide one or more discounts in offline stores. For example, discount coupons, no-threshold coupons, vouchers, etc. The above-mentioned full discount coupons may refer to coupons that can be used if the consumption amount meets preset conditions. The above-mentioned no-threshold coupons can refer to coupons that can be used for any purchase. The above-mentioned vouchers may refer to coupons that can be deducted from a preset consumption amount when consumption. Vouchers are usually coupons purchased by users for less than the consumption amount that the vouchers can deduct. Offline stores can provide ways to use consumer payment platforms to enjoy discounts. Users can obtain one or more of the above discounts according to the rules set by the consumer payment platform. In this way, users can enjoy discounts through the above-mentioned consumer payment platforms at offline stores that cooperate with consumer payment platforms. It can be seen that cooperation between offline stores and consumer payment platforms can not only attract consumers to enter offline stores for consumption, but also promote consumer payment platforms.

However, the above-mentioned promotion methods through offline billboards or online advertising are not only costly, slow to update, but also ineffective. For example, consumer payment platforms need to spend a lot of money to install offline billboards and promote them on multiple online advertising platforms. When there are changes in information such as the discounts provided by the consumer payment platform or the offline stores it cooperates with, the consumer payment platform needs to make changes to all offline billboards and online advertising. This results in slow updating of promotional information. In addition, when users enter offline stores to make purchases, even if they see discounts promoted by consumer payment platforms, they may be more inclined to use the consumer payment platforms they are accustomed to or comfortable with. Or, if users want to use a consumer payment platform, they need a series of cumbersome operations. For example, understand the rules for discounts provided by consumer payment platforms, how to use coupons after receiving them, where to find and use coupons that have been received, etc. This will make it difficult to attract users to use the promoted consumer payment platform, and the promotion effect will be poor.

This application provides a promotional information distribution method. In this method, offline stores can be equipped with indicator devices (beacons). When a user enters an offline store, the user's electronic device can query the offline store where the electronic device is currently located based on the beacon of the offline store. The electronic device can obtain the discounts available to the user at the current offline store, and display the obtained discount information on the user interface. The above-mentioned offers may include offers provided by one or more consumer payment platforms. In this way, when users make purchases at the current offline store, they can use the discounts provided by a consumer payment platform based on the discount information prompted by the electronic device.

It can be seen from the above method that each consumer payment platform can prompt the user to the discounts available in the current online store when the user enters the offline store. The above discount tips can be targeted at each specific user. If different users can use different discounts at the same offline store, the electronic devices of different users can display different discount information based on the discounts of each consumer payment platform. Users can easily choose a consumer payment platform based on the above discount tips. Consumption with discounts. The above method not only facilitates users to quickly understand what discounts are available on various consumer payment platforms when entering offline stores, but also enables precise promotions for different users and improves the promotion effect of consumer payment platforms.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 can send offline store information and preferential information provided by the offline store to the server 600 on the consumer payment platform side according to the settings of the operator. The server 600 may send preferential information to the electronic device 300 on the offline store side based on the above information about the offline store. In this way, offline stores can provide discounts on consumer payment platforms when consumers enter the store to make purchases.

In some embodiments, the polymerization coupon application corresponding to the polymerization coupon platform can also be used for consumer payment platforms to subscribe to offline stores. For example, the electronic device 500 on the operator side of the consumer payment platform can run the above-mentioned aggregation coupon application and display a user interface for subscribing to offline stores. The above-mentioned user interface for subscribing to offline stores may display the option of registering a store account on the Polyvoucher platform and deploying an offline store with beacon400. Operators of consumer payment platforms can select the offline stores that need to be subscribed to on this user interface. In response to the operation of selecting one or more option stores for subscription, the electronic device 500 may send information about the offline stores selected for subscription to the aggregate coupon server 200 . The aggregate coupon server 200 can store the subscription relationship between the consumer payment platform and offline stores. When the subscription is completed, the electronic device 500 can send the information about the offline stores subscribed by the consumer payment platform to the server 600 for storage.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned electronic device 500 may also be an electronic device on the operator side of the aggregate coupon platform. Among them, the electronic device 500 can communicate with the aggregation coupon server 200 to enable the consumer payment platform to subscribe to offline stores. That is to say, the operators of the consumer payment platform can submit the demand for subscribing to offline stores to the operators of the aggregation coupon platform. The above-mentioned demand for subscribing to offline stores may include information about offline stores that the consumer payment platform needs to subscribe to. The operator of the aggregation coupon platform can operate on the electronic device 500 and subscribe to the corresponding offline store for the consumer payment platform based on the requirements submitted by the operator of the consumer payment platform. In subsequent embodiments of this application, the electronic device 500 is an electronic device on the operator side of a consumer payment platform as an example for description.

It should be noted that the consumer payment platform's subscription to offline stores can mean that the consumer payment platform can obtain the distribution of consumers in the offline stores it subscribes to from the aggregation coupon platform. In this way, consumer payment platforms can accurately push offers to consumers based on the discounts they offer in offline stores and consumers’ virtual properties on the consumer payment platform. Discount usage reminder. The above methods can effectively improve the promotion effect of consumer payment platforms.

For example, the aggregation coupon server 200 may store a correspondence between the consumer's consumer ID on the aggregation coupon platform and the consumption payment ID on the consumption payment platform. It can be known from the foregoing embodiments that when the electronic device 100 on the consumer side reaches the signal range of the beacon 400 of the offline store, it can receive the beacon ID. The electronic device 100 may send the consumer ID and beacon ID to the aggregation coupon server 200. If the consumer payment platform subscribes to the offline store where beacon 400 is deployed, the aggregation coupon server 200 can send a message to the server 600 indicating that the consumer corresponding to the consumer ID has arrived at the offline store where beacon 400 is deployed. Then, the server 600 can send the consumer corresponding to the consumer ID to the electronic device 100 through the aggregation coupon server 200, the discount information available in the offline store where the beacon 400 is deployed.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the Polyvoucher application corresponding to the Polyvoucher platform can be used by consumers to register consumer accounts on the Polyvoucher platform and manage their virtual properties on one or more consumer payment platforms. The Polyvoucher application can also be used by stores in offline stores to register store accounts on the Polyvoucher platform for offline stores and deploy beacon400 in offline stores. The aggregate coupon application can also be used by operators of consumer payment platforms to subscribe to offline stores and push discount usage reminders when consumers enter offline stores.

In a possible implementation manner, the above-mentioned aggregation coupon application may have different versions. For example, consumer-oriented aggregation coupon applications can be used by consumers. The aggregation coupon application for offline stores can be used by stores in offline stores. The aggregation coupon application for consumer payment platforms can be used by operators of consumer payment platforms. Different user groups can use different versions of the aggregate coupon application on their own electronic devices. The embodiment of this application does not limit the version of the above-mentioned aggregation coupon application.

In some examples, the above-mentioned wallet application may be integrated with the aggregation coupon application mentioned in the previous embodiment. For example, the aggregate coupon application can be a sub-application of the wallet application. Consumers can open the wallet application in the electronic device 100 and use the functions provided by the aggregate coupon application through relevant operation controls in the wallet application. In other examples, the above-mentioned aggregate coupon application may be an independent APP. For example, the consumer can search for the aggregate coupon application in the application mall application and install it in the electronic device 100 . The subsequent embodiments of this application will be specifically described by taking the integration of the aggregate coupon application in the wallet application as an example. Those skilled in the art should understand that the functions provided by the aggregation coupon application implemented using other methods can refer to the functions provided by the aggregation coupon application integrated in the wallet application. This application will not elaborate on this.

In response to the operation on the wallet application icon 411 shown in FIG. 4A, the electronic device 100 can open the wallet application and display the 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. in:

The shortcut function display area 421 may be used to display shortcut keys for shortcut functions provided by the wallet application. For example, payment code control 421A, scan control 421B, change control 421C. The above payment code control 421A can be used to enable the function of providing payment code payment in the wallet application. In response to operation of the payment code control 421A, the electronic device 100 may display the payment code of the wallet application. The scan control 421B can be used to enable the code scanning function in the wallet application. In response to the operation of the scan control 421B, the electronic device 100 can turn on the camera and display the code scanning interface to facilitate the user to scan the code for payment. The change control 421C can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display the change interface. The content displayed on the change interface may include the amount of the consumer's change in the wallet application, the income and expenditure records of the change, and so on. Among them, the change control 421C can also display consumers The amount of change in the wallet application, which allows consumers to quickly check how much change is left in their wallet application.

Wallet service display area 422 may be used to display controls for services provided by the wallet. For example, aggregate coupon control 422A, flower coin control 422B, mobile phone recharge control, Huawei mall control, etc. The above-mentioned flower coin control 422B can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to display the flower coin interface. The content displayed on the above-mentioned flower coin interface may include the number of the consumer's flower coins in the wallet application, the acquisition and use records of the flower coins, the rules for the acquisition and use of the flower coins, etc. The above-mentioned flower coins can also be called points and other names, and are one of the virtual properties of consumers in the wallet application. Consumers can obtain flower coins according to the preset flower coin acquisition rules (for example, spending 10 yuan can get 1 flower coin, etc.), and use flower coins according to the preset flower coin usage rules (for example, 100 flower coins are spent on Consumers can deduct 1 yuan when they spend, and a designated number of flower coins can be exchanged for designated products, etc.). The mobile phone control value control can be used to enable the mobile phone recharge function in the wallet application. For example, the consumer can use coins and/or change in the wallet application to recharge phone bills for the electronic device 100 . The Huawei Mall control can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to open the Huawei Mall application. The above-mentioned Huawei Mall application can be used to provide the function of purchasing products listed on Huawei Mall. The syndication coupon control 422A can be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to start the syndication coupon application.

Illustratively, in response to the operation of the coupon control 422A shown in FIG. 4B, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 430 shown in FIG. 4C. The user interface 430 may include function activation controls 431 . The function activation control 431 can be used to activate the aggregate coupon function. The aggregation coupon function is the function of aggregating consumers’ virtual property information on multiple consumer payment platforms. In response to the operation of the function enabling control 431 shown in FIG. 4C , the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 440 shown in FIG. 4D .

As shown in Figure 4D, the user interface 440 can be used to register a consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform. The user interface 440 may include a registration information display area 441 and a registration control 442. Among them, the registration information display area 441 can be used to fill in the registration information for registering a consumer account. For example, the registration information may include a mobile phone number of the electronic device 100 and a verification code for registration received by the mobile phone number. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above registration information. The registration control 442 may be used to trigger the electronic device 100 to request the aggregate coupon server 200 to register a consumer account. Wherein, in response to the operation of the registration control 442, the electronic device 100 may send the registration information to the aggregate coupon server 200 to register a consumer account request. The request may include the registration information filled in the registration information display area 441. When receiving a request from the electronic device 100 to register a consumer account, the Polyvoucher server 200 may allocate a consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform to the consumer based on the above registration information. The aggregate coupon server 200 may send the account information of the above-distributed consumer account, such as the consumer ID, to the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 can log in to the corresponding consumer account according to the above-mentioned consumer ID.

In some examples, the above-mentioned aggregate coupon application may be an application integrated in the wallet application. The consumption payment account a consumer logs in to in the wallet application and the consumer account logged in to the aggregate coupon application can be the same account. For example, the user interface 440 shown in FIG. 4D may also display a login control. Through this login control, consumers can use their consumption payment account in the wallet application to log in to the aggregate coupon application.

In other examples, the consumption payment account a consumer logs in to in the wallet application and the consumer account logged in to the aggregation coupon application can also be different accounts.

Figures 4E to 4J exemplarily show a schematic diagram of a scenario in which the virtual property of a consumer consumption payment platform is managed in an aggregation coupon application.

As shown in Figure 4E, when logging into a consumer's consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface 450. In some examples, if the consumer has a consumer account registered on the Polyvoucher platform, then in response to the operation of the Polyvoucher 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 and a consumer payment platform authorization area 452. in:

The virtual property display area 451 can be used to display consumers' virtual properties on multiple consumer payment platforms. For example, the virtual property display area 451 may display the consumer's virtual property in the wallet application, such as balance and coupons. Among them, the balance control 451A of the wallet application can indicate that the consumer's balance (or change) in the wallet application is 100 yuan. wallet The application's coupon control 451B may indicate that the consumer has 10 coupons in the wallet application. In response to operating the coupon control 451B of the wallet application, the electronic device 100 may display specific information about the consumer's coupon in the wallet application. The consumer to whom the virtual property of the wallet application belongs may be the consumer corresponding to the consumption payment account logged in the wallet application.

In some examples, the virtual property information of the wallet application may be obtained by the aggregation coupon server 200 from the wallet application server and then sent to the electronic device 100 . The above-mentioned wallet application server is a server on the consumer payment platform side.

In one possible implementation, before acquiring the virtual property information in the wallet application, the aggregate coupon server 200 requires the consumer to authorize the aggregate coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property information in the wallet application. For example, when logging into a consumer account in the Polyvoucher application, the Polyvoucher application in the electronic device 100 may ask the user whether to grant the Polyvoucher platform to manage the virtual property information in the wallet application. In another possible implementation, the aggregate coupon application is an application integrated in the wallet application. When a consumer activates the aggregation coupon function and logs into the consumer account in the aggregation coupon application, the consumer agrees to the aggregation coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property in the wallet application. That is, after the consumer logs in to the consumer account in the Polyvoucher application, there is no need to authorize the Polyvoucher platform to manage the consumer's virtual property in the wallet application.

The consumer payment platform authorization area 452 can be used to display authorization controls of one or more consumer payment platforms. Among them, consumers can authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage their virtual property information on multiple consumer payment platforms through the above authorization controls. The consumer payment platform corresponding to the authorization control displayed in the authorization area 452 of the consumer payment platform can cooperate with the aggregate coupon platform. The consumer payment platform cooperates with the aggregation coupon platform to obtain the consumer distribution of offline stores from the aggregation coupon server 200, thereby promoting the consumer payment platform to consumers more effectively.

For example, the consumer payment platform authorization area 452 may include the authorization control 452A of the XX payment application, the authorization control 452B of the A review application, and the authorization control 452C of the B bank application. Consumers can choose to authorize one or more consumer payment platforms to be managed by the aggregation coupon platform. For example, in response to the operations on the authorization control 452A and the authorization control 452C shown in FIG. 4E , the electronic device 100 may authorize the aggregate coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application and the B bank. The consumer to whom the virtual property in the XX payment application belongs may be the consumer corresponding to the consumption payment account logged in to the XX payment application in the electronic device 100 . When authorized, the aggregate coupon server 200 can obtain the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application from the XX payment application server, and send the virtual property information to the electronic device 100 . The consumer to whom the virtual property in the Bank B application belongs may be the consumer corresponding to the consumption payment account logged into the Bank B application in the electronic device 100 . When authorized, the aggregate coupon server 200 can obtain the consumer's virtual property information in the B bank application from the XX payment application server, and send the virtual property information to the electronic device 100 . The above-mentioned XX payment application server and B bank application server can both be servers of consumer payment platforms.

As shown in FIG. 4F , when the aggregation coupon platform obtains the permission to manage the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application and the B bank application, the electronic device 100 can display the user interface 450 . In addition to displaying the consumer's virtual property information in the wallet application, the virtual property display area 451 of the user interface 450 may also display the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application and the B bank application. For example, the balance control 451C of the XX payment application can indicate that the consumer's balance (or change) in the XX payment application is 50 yuan. The 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 Bank B application may indicate that the consumer's balance (or change) in the Bank B application is 200 yuan. The coupon control 451F of the Bank B application may indicate that the consumer has 6 coupons in the Bank B application. It can be understood that the virtual property information shown in Figure 4F is only an exemplary illustration of the embodiment of the present application and should not be limited to the present application.

As shown in Figure 4F, when the aggregation coupon platform obtains the authority to manage consumers' virtual property information in the XX payment application and the B bank application, the user interface 450 may display the deauthorization control 452D of the XX payment application and the B bank application. The deauthorization control 452E. The cancellation authorization control 452D can be used to cancel the authority of the aggregation coupon platform to manage consumers' virtual property information in the XX payment application. The cancellation authorization control 452E can be used to cancel the authority of the aggregation coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property information in the Bank B application.

The above-mentioned implementation method of granting the aggregation coupon platform the authority to manage consumers' virtual property information on consumer payment platforms will be introduced in subsequent embodiments. Let’s not expand on it here.

In some examples, if the consumer does not have a consumer payment account in a consumer payment platform, the consumer cannot authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage this consumer payment platform. The above-mentioned consumer payment account can also be called a consumer payment account.

For example, the consumer does not have a consumption payment account in the A-Dianping application. That is, consumers have no virtual property in the A-Dianping application.

As shown in FIG. 4G , in response to the operation of the authorization control 452B of the A review application, the electronic device 100 may display the authorization prompt box 453 shown in FIG. 4H . The authorization prompt box 453 can be used to remind consumers that they do not have a consumption payment account in the A-Dianping application and cannot authorize.

It can be seen from the above scenario that the aggregation coupon application can provide one or more consumer payment platform options, and consumers can choose one or more consumer payment platforms from the above options based on the distribution of their virtual property. In this way, consumers can view their virtual property information in various consumer payment platforms through the aggregation coupon application, without having to open different applications to view virtual property information in different consumer payment platforms. This can make it easier for consumers to better understand and manage their virtual properties.

In some examples, the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 can detect whether the consumer has a consumer payment account on the consumer payment platform. For example, the aggregate coupon application may detect whether a designated consumer payment application is installed in the electronic device 100 and whether a consumer payment account is logged into the designated consumer payment application. The embodiments of this application do not limit the above-mentioned method of detecting whether a consumer has a consumer payment account on a consumer payment platform.

In some examples, consumers can authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage some of their virtual property information on a consumer payment platform. Among them, the virtual property owned by consumers on a consumer payment platform can be divided into multiple categories. For example, balance, coupons, etc. The embodiment of this application does not limit the classification method of virtual property categories. The aggregation coupon application can display the options of one or more categories of virtual property that each consumer payment platform has in the consumer payment platform authorization area 452 shown in FIG. 4E. Consumers can choose the option of some types of virtual property provided by a consumer payment platform, thereby authorizing the aggregation coupon platform to manage some of their virtual property information on this consumer payment platform.

For example, consumers have two categories of virtual property in XX payment application: balance and cards and coupons. Consumers can choose to authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage their cards and coupons in the XX payment application. Then, the aggregation coupon application can obtain the consumer's coupon information in the XX payment application, thereby displaying the consumer's coupon information in the XX payment application in the virtual property display area 450 of FIG. 4F. Since the consumer has not authorized the Polyvoucher platform to manage his or her balance in the XX payment application, the consumer's information in the XX payment application obtained by the Polyvoucher application does not include balance information. That is, the content displayed in the virtual property display area 450 shown in FIG. 4F may not include the balance control 451C of the XX payment application.

In the consumer payment platform authorization area 452 shown in FIG. 4E , the electronic device 100 can use different presentation forms to present the authorization controls of the consumer payment platform where the consumer has a consumer payment account and the consumer payment platform where the consumer does not have a consumer payment account. Platform authorization controls. For example, the authorization control of a consumer payment platform where the consumer has a consumer payment account can be displayed in dark color. The authorization controls of consumer payment platforms where consumers do not have consumer payment accounts can appear in light color. This can be used to easily distinguish which consumer payment platforms you can choose for authorization. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the expression form of the above authorization control.

The user interface of the aggregation coupon application that aggregates virtual property information from different consumer payment platforms shown in Figure 4E and Figure 4F above This is only an exemplary description of the embodiments of this application. The virtual property information of the above-mentioned different consumer payment platforms can also be presented through other layouts in the user interface of the aggregation coupon application.

Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 4I, when the electronic device 100 logs in to the consumer's consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform in the Polyvoucher application, and the Polyvoucher platform has the ability to manage the consumer's wallet application, XX payment application, and B bank application. With the permission of the virtual property information, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 460 . The user interface 460 may include a managed platform option area 461 and a consumer payment platform authorization area 462. Among them, the managed platform option area 461 can be used to display the options of the consumer payment platform that the consumer has authorized the aggregation coupon platform to manage. For example, wallet option 461A, XX payment option 461B, B bank option 461C, etc. Wallet option 461A can be used to view the consumer's virtual property information in the wallet application. XX payment option 461B can be used to view the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application. B Bank option 461C can be used to view the consumer's virtual property information in the B Bank application. For the consumption payment platform authorization area 462, please refer to the introduction of the consumption payment platform authorization area 452 in the previous embodiment. I won’t go into details here.

In response to the operation of wallet option 461A shown in FIG. 4I, the electronic device 100 may display the user interface 470 shown in FIG. 4J. The user interface 470 may display the consumer's virtual property information in the wallet application. For example, the virtual property information may include: a balance of 100 yuan, 10 coupons, 20 coins, and 3 membership cards.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 may also turn off the above-mentioned aggregate coupon function in response to user operations.

The following is a detailed introduction to the implementation method of the aggregation coupon platform provided by the embodiment of the present application to manage consumers' virtual property information on one or more consumer payment platforms.

Figure 5 exemplarily shows a flowchart of a method for the Polyvoucher platform to manage consumers' virtual property information on one or more consumer payment platforms. The method may include steps S511 to S526. in:

(1) Steps S511 to S514: Register a consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface for registering a consumer account on the aggregate coupon platform (refer to the aforementioned user interface 440 shown in FIG. 4D ). Consumers can fill in the registration information to register a consumer account on this user interface. The registration information may include one or more of the following: mobile phone number of the electronic device 100, verification code for registration, consumer account name, consumer's ID number, password to log in to the consumer account, consumer's email address Number. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above registration information. The above-mentioned operation 1 may be, for example, the touch operation on the registration control 442 shown in FIG. 4D .

S512. The electronic device 100 sends a registration request to the aggregate coupon server 200 according to operation 1.

The registration request contains the registration information for the above-mentioned consumer account.

S513. The aggregation coupon server 200 allocates user ID 1 on the aggregation coupon platform to the consumer according to the registration request.

In some examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 allocates a consumer account on the aggregate coupon platform to 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 can be used to uniquely identify the consumer account corresponding to the user ID1 on the Polyvoucher platform. The aggregation coupon server 200 may store the account information of the consumer account. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above account information. In subsequent embodiments, user ID1 is used as an example for explanation.

S514. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends a message indicating that the registration is completed to the electronic device 100.

The above-mentioned message indicating registration completion may include the above-mentioned user ID1.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 can use the above user ID1 to log in to the consumer account corresponding to the user ID1 in the aggregate coupon application.

(2) Steps S515 to S521: Authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property information on the consumption payment platform.

S515. The electronic device 100 receives operation 2, which is used to authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage the consumer's virtual property information in the XX payment application.

Here is an example of authorizing the aggregation coupon platform to manage consumers' virtual property information in the XX payment application. It can be understood that the method of authorizing the aggregation coupon platform to manage consumers' virtual property information on other consumer payment platforms can be the same as the method of authorizing the aggregation coupon platform to manage consumers' virtual property information in XX payment applications. This application will not go into details.

In addition, it should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 5 , the server 600 on the consumer payment platform side in this embodiment of the present application may be a collective name for the servers of each consumer payment platform. Different consumer payment platforms can correspond to different servers. For example, the wallet application may correspond to the wallet application server 601. The XX payment application may correspond to the XX payment application server 602. The B bank application may correspond to the B bank application server 603.

The above-mentioned user operation 2 may be, for example, the touch operation on the authorization control 452A of the XX payment application shown in 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, the XX payment application is installed in the electronic device 100, and a consumer payment account is logged in to the XX payment application. Among them, the consumption payment account logged in on the XX payment application can be the account corresponding to user ID2. The above user ID2 can uniquely identify the consumption payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

In response to the above operation 2, the electronic device 100 can obtain the user ID 2 currently logged in to the consumer payment account in the XX payment application, and send an authorization message to the XX payment application server 602. The authorization message may contain the above mentioned user ID2. The authorization message may instruct the consumer to authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID 2 in the XX payment application. The XX payment application server 602 may store the account information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the above-mentioned user ID2, as well as the virtual property information of 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 there is no consumption payment account logged into the XX payment application.

In response to the above operation 2, the electronic device 100 can call the XX payment application and instruct the consumer to enter the login information of the consumer payment account to which the virtual property information managed by the authorized aggregation coupon platform belongs. That is, the electronic device 100 needs to determine which consumer payment account's virtual property information in the XX payment application is authorized to be authorized by the aggregation coupon platform. For example, the electronic device 100 receives the login information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID2. The electronic device 100 may send the login information to the XX payment application server 602 for identity verification. If the identity verification is successful, the electronic device 100 can send the above authorization message to the XX payment application server 602. The success of the above identity verification can indicate that the consumption payment account corresponding to the above user ID2 exists in the XX payment application. The above authorization message may include the above user ID2. The above authorization message may instruct the consumer to authorize the aggregation coupon platform to manage the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID 2 in the XX payment application. Optionally, the electronic device 100 may send the above login information and the above authorization message together to the XX payment application server 602.

If the identity verification fails, the electronic device 100 may prompt the consumer that the aggregate coupon platform cannot be authorized to manage the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application. The above identity verification failure may mean that the consumption payment account corresponding to the above user ID2 does not exist in the XX payment application, or the consumption payment account corresponding to the above user ID2 exists but the login information entered by the user is incorrect.

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

S518. The electronic device 100 reports token1 to the aggregate ticket server 200.

S519. The aggregate coupon server 200 uses token1 to request authorization verification from the XX payment application server 602.

S520. After the authorization verification is successful, the XX payment application server 602 sends the consumer's user ID 2 in the XX payment application to the aggregate coupon server 200.

The authorization verification process by the XX payment application server 602 may include verifying whether the token1 sent by the XX payment application server 602 to the electronic device 100 is the same as the token1 received from the aggregate coupon server 200 . If they are the same, the authorization verification is successful. Otherwise, authorization verification fails. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific implementation method of the above authorization verification.

S521. The aggregate coupon server 200 stores the corresponding relationship between user ID1 and user ID2.

When receiving the above-mentioned user ID2, the aggregate coupon server 200 may store the corresponding relationship between the user ID1 and the user ID2. User ID1 and user ID2 have a corresponding relationship, which can mean that a consumer who has a consumer account corresponding to user ID1 on the Polyvoucher platform has a consumption payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

After the above authorization process, when a consumer account corresponding to user ID 1 is logged in on the polymer coupon application, the electronic device 100 can display the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID 2 in the XX payment application on the user interface of the polymer coupon application. virtual property information.

(3) Steps S522 to S526: The aggregation coupon platform aggregates consumers' virtual property information on consumption payment platforms.

S522. The XX payment application server 602 sends the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 in the XX payment application to the aggregate coupon server 200.

In some examples, when it is determined that the aggregation coupon management platform has the authority to manage the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to user ID 2 in the XX payment application, the XX payment application server 602 can send the consumption corresponding to user ID 2 to the aggregation coupon server 200 The virtual property information of the payment account in the XX payment application. Among them, the XX payment application server 602 can send the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 to the aggregate coupon server 200 regularly or irregularly, or when the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 changes in the XX payment application. Virtual property information in XX payment application.

The aggregate coupon server 200 can store the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 in the XX payment application.

In some examples, the electronic device 100 is installed with a coupon application and a XX payment application. The account logged into the XX payment application in the electronic device 100 may be a consumption payment account corresponding to user ID2. The electronic device 100 may store the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 in the XX payment application. The virtual property information may be specifically stored in the storage space corresponding to the XX payment application in the electronic device 100 . When the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 receives the operation 2 in step S515, the aggregation coupon application can obtain the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 from the XX payment application in the electronic device 100 to pay in XX after the authorization verification is completed. Virtual property information in the application. The XX payment application can obtain the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 in the XX payment application from the local area (ie, the storage space of the electronic device 100), and send it to the aggregate coupon application.

That is to say, the consumer's virtual property information on one or more consumption payment platforms displayed by the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 may not be obtained by the aggregation coupon server 200 from the server 600 on the consumption payment platform side. In the case where the consumer authorizes the aggregation coupon platform to manage his or her virtual property information on one or more consumer payment platforms, the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 can provide the corresponding information to one or more consumer payment platforms in the electronic device 100 Consumer payment applications obtain virtual property information.

The embodiments of this application do not limit the method by which the aggregate coupon application obtains virtual property information.

S523. The electronic device 100 requests the aggregate coupon server 200 to obtain the virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to the user ID1.

In some examples, when detecting a user operation of viewing virtual property information, the electronic device 100 may notify the aggregation coupon service. The server 200 requests to obtain the virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to the user ID1. The above-mentioned user operation of viewing virtual property information may be, for example, a user operation acting on the aggregation coupon control 422A shown in FIG. 4B, or, for example, an operation acting on the XX payment option 461B shown in FIG. 4I. The embodiments of this application do not limit the above user operations. The electronic device 100 may run an aggregation coupon application, and the consumer account corresponding to the user ID 1 is logged into the aggregation coupon application.

S524. The aggregate coupon server 200 obtains the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application based on the corresponding relationship between the user ID1 and the user ID2.

The aggregate coupon server 200 may store information on consumer payment accounts corresponding to the user ID1. For example, user ID1 has a corresponding relationship with the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

In some examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 may obtain from the memory the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 sent by the XX payment application server 602 most recently in the XX payment application.

In other examples, when it is determined that user ID1 corresponds to the user ID, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send a request to the XX payment application server 602 to obtain the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the method by which the aggregate coupon server 200 obtains the above virtual property information.

S525. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 in the XX payment application to the electronic device 100.

In some examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 may respond to the electronic device 100's request to obtain the virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to the user ID 1 (ie, the above step S523), send the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID 2 at XX to the electronic device 100. Virtual property information in payment applications. It can be known from the foregoing embodiments that user ID1 and user ID2 have a corresponding relationship. The consumer corresponding to user ID1 is the same as the consumer corresponding to user ID2.

In other examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 may regularly or irregularly send the virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application to the electronic device 100 based on the user ID1. For example, without receiving a request from the electronic device 100 to obtain the virtual property information of the consumer corresponding to user ID 1, if the aggregate coupon server 200 receives the updated virtual property information of the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID 2 in the XX payment application, For property information, the aggregation coupon server 200 may send the updated virtual property information to the electronic device 100 . That is to say, the above step S523 is optional.

S526. The electronic device 100 can display virtual property information.

The electronic device 100 can display the virtual property information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application in the aggregate coupon application (for the scenario of displaying the virtual property information, please refer to the scenario shown in Figure 4F).

It can be seen from the method shown in Figure 5 that consumers can authorize the Polyvoucher platform to manage their virtual property information on multiple consumer payment platforms, so that they can view multiple consumer payment categories in one place (such as the Polyvoucher application) Virtual property information on the platform. This can facilitate users to manage their virtual properties on different consumer payment platforms and improve user experience.

Based on the aforementioned communication system 10 shown in Figure 1, the following describes a scenario in which an offline store deploys beacons provided by an embodiment of the present application, and a scenario in which a consumer payment platform subscribes to an offline store.

By way of example, FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B show a schematic diagram of the scenario of registering a store account on the Polyvoucher platform.

As shown in Figure 6A, the electronic device 300 on the offline store side can run the aggregate coupon application and display the user interface 610.

In some examples, the aggregation coupon application run by the electronic device 300 may be an application oriented to offline stores. Here, the aggregation coupon application is a web application as an example. It can be understood that the aggregate coupon application can also be other types of applications.

As shown in Figure 6A, the user interface 610 may include a website address input box 611, a store registration information input area 612 and a registration Control 613. Among them, the website address input box 611 can be used to input the website address. For example, the URL 611A can be entered in the URL input box 611: https://xxxxxx/xxxx. The URL 611A may be the URL corresponding to the user interface for store registration in the aggregate coupon application. The above-mentioned website address 611A is only an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application, and shall not limit the present application.

The store registration information input area 612 may display components for filling in registration information for registering a store account. For example, store name component, account password component. The above store name component can be used to input the name of an offline store (such as "AB Supermarket"). The above account password component can be used to enter the password to log in to the store account. The registration information of the above-mentioned registered store account may include one or more of the following: store name, account password, social unified credit code of the offline store, and store name of the offline store. The embodiment of this application does not limit the content of the registration information of the above-mentioned registered store account.

The above-mentioned registration control 613 can be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to request the aggregation coupon server 200 to register a store account. In response to the operation of the registration control 613 shown in FIG. 6A , the electronic device 300 may send a request to register a store account to the aggregate coupon server 200 . The request may include the registration information received by the electronic device 300 in the store registration information input area 612. When receiving a request to register a store account from the electronic device 300, the Polyvoucher server 200 may allocate a store account on the Polyvoucher platform to the offline store based on the above registration information. The aggregate coupon server 200 may send the account information of the above-distributed store account, such as the store ID, to the electronic device 300 . The embodiment of this application does not limit the account information of the above accounts. The aggregate coupon server 200 may store the account information of the above-mentioned store account.

As shown in FIG. 6B , when receiving the account information of the above account sent by the aggregate coupon server 200 , the electronic device 300 may display a registration success prompt box 614 . The registration success prompt box 614 can be used to prompt the offline store store owner to successfully register the store account on the Polyvoucher platform, as well as the store ID of the store account. For example, the store ID of a store account is 11111111. The above store ID is only an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application and should not be construed to limit the present application.

The electronic device 300 can log in to the corresponding store account on the aggregate coupon application based on the above store ID.

Figures 6C and 6D show a schematic diagram of a scenario in which beacons are deployed in offline stores.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 on the offline store side can log in to the store account on the aggregation coupon application and display the user interface 620 shown in Figure 6C. The user interface 620 may be a user interface for deploying beacons.

As shown in Figure 6C, the user interface 620 may include a website address input box 611, a store ID indication control 621, and a deployment beacon control 622. The URL displayed in the URL input box 611 may be the URL corresponding to the user interface currently displayed by the electronic device 300 . For example, the URL input box 611 displays the URL 611B: https://xxxxxx/aaaa. The URL 611B may be the URL corresponding to the user interface (ie, the user interface 620) used to deploy beacons in the aggregation coupon application. The above-mentioned website address 611B is only an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application, and shall not limit the present application.

The store ID indication control 621 may be used to indicate the store ID corresponding to the store account currently logged in the aggregate coupon application. For example, the store ID is 11111111. That is to say, the electronic device 300 can log in to the store account with the store ID of 11111111 in the polymer coupon application, and deploy a beacon for the offline store (such as the AB supermarket shown in Figure 6A) that registers the store account.

The deploy beacon control 622 may be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to display a user interface for deploying the beacon.

For example, in response to the operation of deploying 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 confirmation control 632, and a cancellation control 633.

The beacon information input area 631 may display controls for inputting information about beacons to be deployed. The above information about the beacon to be deployed may include beaconID. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above information about beacons to be deployed. For example, an offline store owner can enter the beacon ID of the beacon to be deployed: 12345678 in the beacon information input area 631. The above beacon ID is only an exemplary description of this application and should not be limited to this application.

Cancel control 633 can be used to undeploy the beacon.

The determination control 632 may be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to send a beacon deployment request to the aggregate coupon server 200 . Should The beacon deployment request may include the store ID (store ID: 11111111 shown in Figure 6C) and beacon ID (beacon ID: 12345678 shown in Figure 6D). The aggregate coupon server 200 may store the binding relationship between the store ID and the beacon ID in the beacon deployment request according to the beacon deployment request. In this way, the aggregate coupon server 200 can determine the binding relationship between each offline store and the beacon. When it is detected that the electronic device 100 on the consumer side enters the signal range of the beacon, the aggregate coupon server 200 can determine which offline store the consumer of the electronic device 100 has entered.

In some examples, when storing the binding relationship between the store ID and the beacon ID, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send a message to the electronic device 300 indicating that the beacon deployment is completed. Then, the electronic device 300 can display a prompt message to prompt the store beacon deployment of the offline store to be completed.

In some examples, the beacon ID of the above-mentioned beacon may be obtained from a server (such as the aggregate coupon server 200). Among them, when a store deploys a beacon in an offline store, it can run the aggregate coupon application on the electronic device 300 . Electronic device 300 may display user interface 620 shown in Figure 6C. The deployment beacon control 622 can be used to trigger the electronic device 300 to request the beacon ID from the aggregate coupon server 200. In response to a user operation on deploying the beacon control 622, the electronic device 300 may send a request to obtain the beacon ID to the aggregate coupon server 200. The request can include the store ID of the offline store. The aggregation coupon server 200 may allocate a beacon ID to the offline store corresponding to the above store ID. The beacon ID can be used to uniquely identify a beacon. When receiving the beacon ID, the electronic device 300 can display the beacon ID. Further, the store can write the above-mentioned beacon ID obtained from the aggregate coupon server 200 into the beacon. In this way, beacon can carry the above-mentioned beacon ID in the message it broadcasts.

It can be seen that the beacon ID of a beacon can be carried by itself (for example, it is preset at the factory), or it can be applied by the user of the beacon (for example, the store owner of an offline store) from the server and written into the beacon. The embodiment of this application does not limit the implementation method of deploying beacons in the above-mentioned offline stores.

Figure 6E shows a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a consumer payment platform subscribes to an offline store.

In some examples, a consumer payment platform can cooperate with one or more offline stores to promote the consumer payment platform. For example, consumer payment platforms can provide offline stores with discounts that consumers can use when making purchases. Then, when consumers use the consumer payment platform to make purchases in offline stores, they can enjoy the benefits provided by the consumer payment platform. The consumer payment platform can request the aggregation coupon platform to obtain the consumer distribution of one or more offline stores, so as to push targeted discount usage reminders to consumers entering offline stores to achieve better promotion effects.

It can be seen from the aforementioned scenarios shown in Figure 6A and Figure 6B that offline shops can register shop accounts on the Polyvoucher platform. The aggregate coupon server 200 can store account information of each store account. Based on the account information of the above-mentioned store accounts, the Polyvoucher platform can provide the offline stores corresponding to these store accounts for the consumer payment platform to select. Consumer payment platforms can choose to subscribe to one or more offline stores from the aggregation coupon platform.

For example, as shown in Figure 6E, the electronic device 500 on the operator side of the consumer payment platform can run the aggregate coupon application and display the user interface 640.

In some examples, the aggregation coupon application run by the electronic device 500 may be an application oriented to a consumer payment platform. Here, the aggregation coupon application is a web application as an example. It can be understood that the aggregate coupon application can also be other types of applications.

As shown in FIG. 6E , the user interface 640 may include a website address input box 643 , a store selection area 641 and a subscription control 642 . Among them, the website address input box 643 can be used to input the website address. For example, the URL 643A can be entered in the URL input box 643: https://bbbbbb/bbbb. The URL 643A may be the URL corresponding to the user interface for subscribing to offline stores in the aggregation coupon application. The above-mentioned website address 643A is only an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application, and shall not limit the present application.

The store selection area 641 may be used to display one or more offline store options. The offline store option in the store selection area 641 can be used by the operator of the consumer payment platform to select the offline stores that the consumer payment platform needs to subscribe to. Shop The offline store options in the selection area 641 may be determined by the Polyvoucher server 200 based on the store account registered on the Polyvoucher platform. For example, the above offline store options may include AB supermarket option 641A, AD coffee shop option 641B, AG baking option 641C, AC game store option, AE clothing store option, and AF car wash option. The embodiment of this application does not limit the above offline store options. Operators of consumer payment platforms (such as XX payment applications) can choose AB supermarket option 641A, AD coffee shop option 641B, and AG baking option 641C. That is, the consumer payment platform can subscribe to the offline store corresponding to the above-selected offline store option from the aggregation coupon platform.

The above-mentioned subscription control 642 can be used to trigger the electronic device 500 to send a request to subscribe to an offline store to the Polyvoucher platform. The request for subscribing to an offline store may include information about the offline store corresponding to the offline store option selected in the store selection area 641. When receiving the above request to subscribe to an offline store, the aggregate coupon server 200 may store the subscription relationship between the consumer payment platform and the offline store. In this way, when a consumer enters an offline store subscribed to by the consumer payment platform, the aggregate coupon server 200 can send the information about the consumer and the offline store to the server 600 on the consumer payment platform side. The server 600 can query the discounts that the consumer can use when making purchases at the offline store using the consumption payment platform corresponding to the server 600, and push discount usage reminders to the consumer.

It can be seen from the above embodiment that offline stores can deploy beacons. The aggregation coupon platform can determine which consumers enter each offline store through the binding relationship between offline stores and beacons. Consumer payment platforms can subscribe to offline stores from the aggregation coupon platform. Then, the aggregation coupon platform can notify the consumer payment platform when a consumer enters an offline store subscribed by the consumer payment platform. In this way, consumer payment platforms can push discount usage reminders to each user in a targeted manner. This can not only remind users what discounts are available when consumers need to consume, so that consumers’ virtual assets can be fully used, but also help consumer payment platforms improve their promotion effects.

The following is a detailed introduction to the implementation method of offline stores deploying beacons provided by the embodiment of this application, and the implementation method of consumer payment platforms subscribing to offline stores.

Refer to the method flow chart shown in Figure 7. The method flow chart may include steps S711 to S720. in:

(1) Steps S711 to S714: Register a store account on the Polyvoucher platform.

S711. The electronic device 300 on the offline store side receives the operation W1 of registering a store account in the polymer coupon application.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 may display a user interface for registering a store account on the Polyvoucher platform (refer to the aforementioned user interface 610 shown in FIG. 6A ). Store owners of offline stores can fill in the registration information for registering a store account on this user interface. Among them, the registration information may include one or more of the following: store name, account password, social unified credit code of the offline store, and store name of the offline store. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above registration information. The above-mentioned operation W1 may be, for example, the aforementioned operation on the registration control 613 shown in FIG. 6A .

S712. The electronic device 300 sends a registration request to the aggregate coupon server 200 according to operation W1.

The registration request may include the registration information of the above store account.

S713. The Polyvoucher server 200 allocates the store ID on the Polyvoucher platform to the offline store according to the registration request.

In some examples, the Polyvoucher server 200 allocates a store account on the Polyvoucher platform to the offline store associated with the registration information. The store account may have corresponding account information. For example, the account information may include a store ID (the store ID may refer to the store ID shown in FIG. 6B mentioned above). The store ID can be used to uniquely identify the store account corresponding to the store ID on the Polyvoucher platform. The aggregate coupon server 200 may store the account information of the store account. The embodiments of this application do not limit the content of the above account information. In subsequent embodiments, the store ID will be used as an example for explanation.

S714. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends a message indicating that the registration is completed to the electronic device 300.

The above-mentioned message indicating that registration is completed may include the above-mentioned store ID.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 can use the above store ID to log in the store ID corresponding to the aggregation coupon application. Store account.

(2) Steps S715 to S717: The offline store deploys beacon.

S715. The electronic device 300 receives operation W2, and operation W2 is used to deploy beacon.

In some examples, the electronic device 300 may display a user interface for deploying beacons in the aggregate coupon application (refer to the aforementioned user interface 630 shown in FIG. 6D ). Store owners of offline stores can fill in the beacon information of the beacon to be deployed on this user interface. Beacon information may include beacon ID. The above beacon ID can be used to uniquely identify the beacon to be deployed. Not limited to beacon ID, the above beacon information can also include other contents. The above-mentioned operation W2 may be, for example, the operation on the determination control 632 shown in FIG. 6D .

S716. The electronic device 300 sends a beacon deployment request to the aggregate coupon server 200 according to operation W2. The beacon deployment request includes the store ID and the beacon ID.

S717. The aggregate coupon server 200 stores the binding relationship between the store ID and the beacon ID.

The binding relationship between the above store ID and beacon ID can mean that the beacon identified by the beacon ID is deployed in the offline store to which the store ID belongs. When the electronic device 100 on the consumer side enters the signal range of the beacon identified by the beacon ID, it can mean that the user to which the electronic device 100 belongs has entered the offline store to which the store ID bound to the beacon ID belongs.

(3) Steps S718 to S720: The consumer payment platform subscribes to offline stores.

S718. The electronic device 502 on the side of the XX payment application operator sends a request to subscribe to an offline store to the aggregate coupon server 200.

Here is a specific explanation using XX payment application subscribing to offline stores as an example. It is understandable that the method for subscribing to offline stores on other consumer payment platforms can be the same as the method for subscribing to offline stores for XX payment applications. This application will not go into details.

In addition, it should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 7 , the electronic device 500 on the operator side of the consumer payment platform in this embodiment of the present application may be a collective name for the electronic devices used by the operators of each consumer payment platform. It is understandable that operators of different consumer payment platforms may use different electronic devices. For example, the electronic device 501 on the wallet application operator side may be used by the wallet application operator. The electronic device 502 on the operator side of the XX payment application may be used by the operator of the XX payment application. The electronic device 503 on the operator side of the Bank B application may be used by the operator of the Bank B application.

In some examples, the electronic device 502 may receive an option to select one or more offline stores and perform a subscription operation. The above operations may refer to the operations performed on the user interface 640 shown in FIG. 6E. Then, the electronic device 502 may send a request to subscribe to the offline store to the aggregate coupon server 200 . The request may include information about the offline store that the XX payment application requests to subscribe to.

S719. The aggregate coupon server 200 stores the subscription relationship between the XX payment application and the offline store.

S720. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends a notification of successful subscription to the electronic device 502.

In some examples, when the offline store subscription is completed, the electronic device 502 can send the information of the offline store subscribed by the XX payment application to the XX payment application server 602. The XX payment application server 602 can store information about offline stores subscribed by the XX payment application.

In some examples, the operator of the XX payment application can also use the aggregation coupon application to modify the offline stores subscribed by the XX payment application. For example, cancel the offline store that XX payment application has subscribed to, and add the offline store that XX payment application has subscribed to.

It should be noted that there is no order limit on the above-mentioned steps of registering a store account on the Polyvoucher platform (ie, S711 ~ S714) and the steps of subscribing to an offline store on the consumer payment platform (ie, S718 ~ S720). The above-mentioned steps of deploying beacons (i.e., S715 ~ S717) and the steps of subscribing to offline stores by the consumer payment platform (i.e., S718 ~ S720) are not limited in order. Among them, the offline store options provided by the Polyvoucher application in the scenario of subscribing to offline stores include options corresponding to offline stores that have registered store accounts on the Polyvoucher platform.

In some examples, the above-mentioned electronic device 500 may be an electronic device on the operator side of the aggregate coupon platform. The electronic device 500 may receive requests from one or more consumer payment platforms to subscribe to offline stores. According to the above requirements, the electronic device 500 can send a request to subscribe to offline shops to the aggregate coupon server 200, thereby realizing the consumer payment platform's need to subscribe to offline shops.

It can be seen from the method shown in Figure 7 above that offline stores can deploy beacons. The aggregation coupon platform can determine which consumers enter each offline store through the binding relationship between offline stores and beacons. Consumer payment platforms can subscribe to offline stores from the aggregation coupon platform. Then, the aggregation coupon platform can notify the consumer payment platform when a consumer enters an offline store subscribed by the consumer payment platform. In this way, consumer payment platforms can push discount usage reminders to each user in a targeted manner. This can not only remind users what discounts are available when consumers need to consume, so that consumers’ virtual assets can be fully used, but also help consumer payment platforms improve their promotion effects.

Based on the aforementioned communication system 10 shown in Figure 1, a promotion information distribution scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

Exemplarily, FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C show a schematic diagram of a promotion information distribution scenario.

Here we take the scenario where consumers enter an offline store named "AB Supermarket" and AB Supermarket has deployed beacon 400 as an example. Among them, beacon400 can be located anywhere in AB supermarket. For example, the checkout counter of AB supermarket, the entrance of AB supermarket, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

As shown in Figure 8A, beacon400 can broadcast Bluetooth signals based on Bluetooth technology. Among them, the Bluetooth signal broadcast by beacon400 can carry the beacon ID of beacon400. Electronic devices within the signal range of beacon400 can receive the Bluetooth signal broadcast by beacon400.

When a consumer brings the electronic device 100 into AB Supermarket and moves within the signal range of beacon 400, the electronic device 100 can receive the Bluetooth signal broadcast by beacon 400. According to the above Bluetooth signal, the electronic device 100 can obtain the beacon ID of beacon 400.

Further, the electronic device 100 may determine the consumer ID of the consumer account logged in on the aggregate coupon application in the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 may send the consumer ID and the received beacon ID to the aggregate coupon server 200. The aggregation coupon server 200 can determine that the consumer associated with the consumer ID enters the AB supermarket based on the binding relationship between the beacon ID and the store ID. The aggregation coupon server 200 can search for consumer payment platforms that have a subscription relationship with AB Supermarket. For example, XX payment application has a subscription relationship with AB supermarket. The aggregate coupon server 200 may send a message to the XX payment application server 602 instructing the consumer associated with the consumer ID to enter the AB supermarket. The XX payment application server 602 can query the discounts that the consumer associated with the consumer ID can use in the AB supermarket by using the XX payment application, and send the discount information to the aggregate coupon server 200 .

When receiving the preferential information sent from the XX payment application server 602, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send the preferential information to the electronic device 100. In addition to the above XX payment application, the aggregation coupon server 200 can also send messages instructing consumers associated with consumer IDs to enter AB Supermarket to servers on other consumer payment platforms that have a subscription relationship with AB Supermarket. The aggregation coupon service 200 can receive preferential information sent by the server on the consumer payment platform side that has a subscription relationship with AB Supermarket, and send the preferential information to the electronic device 100 .

When receiving the above-mentioned preferential information, the electronic device 100 may display a notification 811 in the user interface 810 shown in FIG. 8A. Notification 811 can be used to remind users that there are available offers in AB Supermarket. For example, the notification 811 may include the text prompt "Coupon usage reminder: It is detected that you have entered AB Supermarket. You have coupons to use in AB Supermarket. Click on the message to view the coupons." The embodiment of this application does not limit the text prompt content in notification 811.

In some examples, the above notification 811 may come from a wallet application in the electronic device 100 . Among them, the wallet application can be integrated with the aggregate coupon application, which can be used to provide the function of pushing discount usage reminders to users. In some examples, the aggregate coupon application may be a separate APP. The above notification 811 may be from the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 .

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

For example, the preferential information received by the electronic device 100 may include: 3-yuan coupon information from the wallet application, 5-yuan coupon information from the XX payment application, and 1.6-yuan coupon information from the B bank application. User interface 820 may include usage controls 821 , usage controls 822 , and usage controls 823 . Among them, the use control 821 can be used for consumers to use the 3 yuan coupon of the wallet application. The usage control 822 can be used for consumers to use the 5 yuan coupon of the XX payment application. The usage control 823 can be used by consumers to use the 1.6 yuan coupon applied by Bank B.

It can be seen that the user interface 820 may contain preferential information provided by multiple consumer payment platforms. Consumers can select one or more offers in the user interface 820 to use when purchasing at AB Supermarket.

For example, a consumer chooses to use the XX payment application’s 5 yuan coupon. In response to the operation of the usage control 822, the electronic device 100 can open the XX payment application and display the user interface 830 shown in FIG. 8C. The user interface 830 may be a user interface for payment in the XX payment application.

As shown in FIG. 8C , the user interface 830 may include a payment code 831 , a payment method 832 , and a coupon control 833 . Among them, payment code 831 can be used by consumers to present to offline stores when paying to complete the payment. The payment method 832 may be used to indicate the payment account used for debiting when paying using the XX payment application. It is understandable that consumer payment platforms can provide a variety of different payment methods, and different payment methods can use different payment accounts for deductions. For example, payment methods in XX payment application may include balance payment, bank card payment, etc. Coupon control 833 may be used to indicate coupon information that may be used at the time of payment.

It can be understood that the user interface displayed by the electronic device 100 shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C is only an exemplary illustration of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

It can be seen from the scenarios shown in Figures 8A to 8C that beacons can be deployed in offline stores. When a consumer brings the electronic device 100 into an offline store and reaches the signal range of the beacon, the electronic device 100 can query the aggregate coupon server 200 for discount information that the consumer to which the electronic device 100 belongs can use in the current offline store. The aggregation coupon server 200 can obtain the discount information that the consumer can use at the current display store from the server on the consumption payment platform side based on the subscription relationship between the offline store where the consumer is currently located and the consumption payment platform, and send the discount information. 100 for electronic devices. The electronic device 100 can prompt the consumer for discounts available for consumption at the current offline store. The above-mentioned discounts can be discounts provided on multiple consumer payment platforms. In this way, after users enter an offline store, they can quickly understand what discounts they can use in that offline store, without having to open different consumer payment applications to check what coupons they have. The above method can not only help consumers rationally and fully use the virtual properties of various consumer payment platforms and make full use of discounts when consuming, but also improve the promotion effect of each consumer payment platform.

The following is a detailed introduction to the implementation method of promoting the consumer payment platform provided by the embodiment of this application.

Figure 9 exemplarily shows a flow chart of a promotion information distribution method. The method may include steps S911 to S919. in:

S911, beacon400 broadcast message 1, message 1 contains the beacon ID of beacon400.

In some examples, beacon 400 may broadcast message 1 based on Bluetooth technology. Electronic devices located within the signal range of beacon400 can receive the above message 1. Among them, the signal range of beacon400 can be adjusted. For example, the greater the Bluetooth power of beacon400 broadcast message 1, the greater the signal range of beacon400.

Not limited to the above-mentioned beacon400, offline stores can also deploy devices using other communication technologies (such as WLAN technology, NFC technology, etc.) to send identification information to electronic devices arriving at designated locations in offline stores. The designated location of the above-mentioned offline store may include a location within the signal range of the device that sends the identification information. This application specifically takes beacon400 using Bluetooth technology as an example for explanation.

S912. The electronic device 100 on the consumer side receives message 1.

The consumer carries the electronic device 100 into an offline store where beacon 400 is deployed, for example, an offline store named "AB Supermarket". The Bluetooth of the electronic device 100 is turned on. When the electronic device 100 moves within the signal range of the beacon 400, the electronic device 100 can receive the above message 1.

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

In some examples, the electronic device 100 has a syndication coupon application installed, and a consumer account corresponding to user ID 1 is logged in the syndication coupon application. That is, the consumer to which the electronic device 100 belongs has registered a consumer account on the Polyvoucher platform, and the account information of the consumer account includes the above-mentioned user ID1.

When receiving the above message 1, the electronic device 100 can obtain the beacon ID of beacon 400 from the message 1. The electronic device 100 may send a preferential information query request to the aggregate coupon server 200 . The preferential information query request contains beacon ID and user ID1. It can be understood that when the electronic device 100 receives the above message 1, it may indicate that the consumer to which the electronic device 100 belongs has arrived at an offline store where beacon 400 is deployed, and there may be consumer demand. The electronic device 100 can request the aggregation coupon server 200 through the aggregation coupon application to query the available discounts of the consumer at the current offline store.

The preferential information query request received by the aggregate coupon server 200 includes beacon ID and user ID1. The above-mentioned user ID1 can identify the identity information of the consumer, so that the aggregate coupon server 200 can determine which consumer it is. The above-mentioned beacon ID can identify an offline store, so that the aggregate coupon server 200 can determine which offline store the consumer has arrived at.

S914. The aggregation coupon server 200 determines the offline store 1 corresponding to the store ID bound to the beacon ID according to the discount information query request, and determines that the offline store 1 is subscribed to the XX payment application.

In some examples, the aggregation coupon server 200 can determine that the offline store where beacon 400 is deployed is offline store 1 (such as the aforementioned offline store named "AB Supermarket") based on the binding relationship between the beacon ID and the store ID. Further, the Polyvoucher server 200 can query the consumer payment platforms that subscribe to the offline store 1 on the Polyvoucher platform. Here is an example of how XX payment application has subscribed to offline store 1.

S915. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends message 2 to the XX payment application server 602. The message 2 is used to instruct the consumer associated with the user ID1 to enter the offline store 1.

S916. The XX payment application server 602 determines based on the message 2 that the consumer associated with the user ID 1 has the coupon 1 in the XX payment application that can be used for consumption at the offline store 1.

In some examples, the consumer associated with the above user ID1 has authorized the aggregation coupon platform to manage his or her virtual property in the XX payment application. As can be seen from S521 in the method shown in FIG. 5 , after authorization, the aggregate coupon server 200 can store the corresponding relationship between the user ID1 and the user ID2 of the consumer in the XX payment application. It is understandable that the account systems used by the Polyvoucher platform and the XX payment application for consumer login are different. Among them, the aggregation coupon platform can determine the identity information of the consumer through the above-mentioned user ID1. The XX payment application can determine the consumer’s identity through the above user ID2. Identity Information. The consumer associated with user ID1 and the consumer associated with user ID2 may be the same. That is, a consumer can register and log in to the consumer account corresponding to user ID1 in the Polyvoucher application, and register and log in to the consumer payment account corresponding to user ID2 in the XX payment application.

When querying the corresponding relationship between user ID1 and user ID2, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send message 2 to the XX payment application server 602. Message 2 may include the above-mentioned user ID2 and the identification information of offline store 1. In this way, the XX payment application server 602 can determine according to the message 2 that the consumer associated with the user ID2 (that is, the consumer associated with the user ID1) enters the offline store 1. Then, the XX payment application server 602 can determine, based on the discount rules provided by the XX payment application, which discounts the consumer associated with the user ID 2 has in the XX payment application that can be used for consumption at the offline store 1.

Specifically, the XX payment application server 602 can determine the consumer associated with the user ID2 in the offline store based on the virtual property owned by the consumer payment account corresponding to the user ID2 in the XX payment application and the discounts provided by the XX payment application in the offline store 1. 1 discount available.

For example, the consumption payment account corresponding to the above user ID2 has a coupon Q1 in the XX payment application. This coupon Q1 can be used when making purchases at offline store 1. The coupon Q1 is the virtual property of the consumer associated with user ID2. For example, coupon Q1 may have been received by a consumer associated with user ID2 when the coupon collection rules were met, or purchased by a consumer associated with user ID2. That is, coupon Q1 may not be available to all consumers. The discounts provided by XX payment application in offline store 1 also include coupon Q2. This coupon Q2 can be used by any consumer when using the XX payment application.

Then, the XX payment application server 602 determines based on the message 2 that the coupon 1 owned by the consumer associated with the user ID 1 may include: coupon Q1 and coupon Q2.

In other examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 does not query the account information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID1 in the XX payment application. The aggregate coupon server 200 may send message 2 to the XX payment application server 602. The message 2 may include identification information of the offline store 1. The information indicating the consumer in message 2 can be empty.

When receiving message 2, the XX payment application server 602 can determine, based on the discount rules provided by the XX payment application, which of the discounts provided by the XX payment application in the offline store 1 are applicable to all consumers. The above-mentioned discounts applicable to all consumers are the discounts available to consumers associated with the above-mentioned user ID1 when they use the XX payment application in offline store 1.

For example, the XX payment application server 602 queries that the XX payment application provides coupon Q2 at an offline store. This coupon Q2 can be used by any consumer when using the XX payment application. Then, the XX payment application server 602 determines based on the message 2 that the coupon 1 owned by the consumer associated with the user ID 1 may include: coupon Q2.

The account information of the consumption payment account corresponding to the user ID1 in the XX payment application is not stored in the above-mentioned aggregate coupon server 200, which may mean that the consumer associated with the user ID1 has not registered a consumption payment account in the XX payment application, or may indicate that the user ID1 The associated consumers have not authorized the Polyvoucher platform to manage their virtual properties in the XX payment application.

In some examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send the above message 2 to all servers on the consumer payment platform side that subscribe to the offline store 1. When receiving message 2, the server on the consumption payment platform side that subscribes to offline store 1 can query the consumers associated with the above-mentioned user ID 1 for available discounts at offline store 1 according to their respective discount rules, and send the discount information to the offline store 1. Sent to the aggregate coupon server 200.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the discount usage reminder pushed by the aggregation coupon application in the electronic device 100 to the consumer may not only include discount information of the consumer payment platform where the consumer has registered a consumer payment account, but may also include promotional information of the consumer payment platform where the consumer has not registered. Discount information on consumer payment platforms for consumer payment accounts. This can help consumer payment platforms attract more new users and improve promotion effects.

In other examples, the aggregate coupon server 200 may send a request to the server on the consumer payment platform side that meets the preset conditions. Send the above message 2. The above preset conditions may include: subscribe to the above-mentioned offline store 1, and the consumer associated with user ID 1 authorizes the consumer payment platform managed by the aggregation coupon platform. That is to say, if the Polyvoucher platform has the authority to manage the virtual property of consumers associated with user ID 1 on a consumer payment platform, but this consumer payment platform does not subscribe to offline store 1, then the Polyvoucher server 200 may not Send the above message 2 to the server on the consumer payment platform side. If a consumer payment platform subscribes to offline store 1, and the single aggregate coupon platform does not have the authority to manage the virtual property of the consumer associated with user ID 1 on a consumer payment platform, the aggregate coupon server 200 may not pay this consumer. The server on the class platform side sends the above message 2. When receiving the message 2, the server on the consumer payment platform side can query the available discounts for the consumer associated with the above-mentioned user ID 1 at the offline store 1 according to their respective discount rules, and send the discount information to the aggregate coupon server 200 .

The above embodiments can reduce the risk that when a consumer does not authorize the Polyvoucher platform to manage the virtual property of one or more consumer payment platforms, the Polyvoucher platform passes its own information (such as the location information of which offline stores it has reached) to a Or the situation of multiple consumer payment platforms. Thereby improving the security of users’ private information.

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

In some examples, in addition to the XX payment application server 602, the aggregate coupon server 200 can also receive preferential usage reminders sent by other servers on the consumer payment platform side that subscribe to the offline store 1.

S918. The aggregate coupon server 200 sends a reminder to use the coupon 1 to the electronic device 100.

The aggregation coupon server 200 may send the above-mentioned reminder to use the coupon 1 and the discount usage reminder sent by other servers on the consumer payment platform side that subscribe to the offline store 1 to the electronic device 100 .

In some examples, the aggregation coupon server 200 may also send the relevant information about the above-mentioned coupon 1 and the coupon-related information corresponding to discount usage reminders from other consumer payment platforms to the electronic device 100 . The electronic device 100 can display these coupons in the interface of the aggregation coupon application based on the relevant information of the above-mentioned coupon 1 and the coupon-related information corresponding to the discount usage reminders from other consumer payment platforms, so as to facilitate the user in the aggregation coupon application. Check out the discounts available at offline stores 1 using various consumer payment platforms.

Optionally, when receiving the above-mentioned reminder to use coupon 1, as well as reminders to use discounts from other consumer payment platforms, the aggregation coupon server 200 can determine which of the coupon-related information corresponding to these reminders has not yet been stored in the electronic device. 100's aggregate coupon application updated. Then, the aggregated coupon server 200 may send the coupon-related information that has not been updated in the aggregated coupon application of the electronic device 100 to the electronic device 100 . In this way, users can view the discounts available at offline stores 1 using various consumer payment platforms in the aggregation coupon application.

S919. The electronic device 100 can display a prompt message for using coupon 1.

For the scenario in which the electronic device 100 displays the prompt message for using the coupon 1, reference may be made to the scenarios shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B.

It can be seen from the method shown in Figure 9 that the above-mentioned aggregate coupon platform can associate consumers, offline shops and consumer payment platforms. Through beacons deployed in offline stores, the Polyvoucher platform can detect whether consumers enter offline stores. Consumer payment platforms can subscribe to offline stores through the aggregation coupon platform to obtain the distribution of consumers in subscribed offline stores and push discount usage reminders to different users more accurately. Through the aggregation coupon platform, after the consumer enters the offline store, the electronic device 100 can display the preferential information available for consumption at the current offline store using multiple consumption payment platforms. The above method can not only help consumers rationally and fully use the virtual properties of various consumer payment platforms and make full use of discounts when consuming, but also improve the promotion effect of each consumer payment platform.
