Promotional traffic redirection system

Abstract

The discount referral system comprises a middleware server and a management server. The middleware server supports application services; the management server connects to the middleware server and provides a management interface. The management interface allows users to upload images and set corresponding link information. The management server saves the images after verifying their format. The middleware server causes the application's discount section interface to display banner images of discounted items based on these images. When a user clicks on a discounted item banner image, the application launches a browser and redirects to an external webpage that provides coupons or discount information, based on the pre-set link information. This allows the system to dynamically update marketing referral targets without redeploying the application, improving system efficiency and marketing flexibility.
