[0002] With the development of internet technology, online-to-offline (O2O) businesses have become increasingly common. The transaction volume of online food delivery and online supermarket shopping has also maintained a relatively high growth rate. Currently, there is a lack of technological solutions for group buying in O2O businesses. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device, providing a technical solution for group buying in O2O businesses.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, the method comprising:

[0005] The first order is generated based on the identifier of the selected target and the order information;

[0006] Display the first group purchase information with the first order as the main order. The first group purchase information records the group purchase status and includes the provider's identifier. The provider's identifier is used to determine the list of optional targets corresponding to the provider.

[0007] Therefore, by determining the provider identifier for group buying based on the provider information in the first group buying information, the scope of group buying providers can be expanded, the success rate of group buying can be improved, and the time required for successful group buying can be shortened.

[0008] Preferably, before generating the first order, the method further includes:

[0009] Obtain the identifier of the selected target;

[0010] In response to the received initiation command, order information is obtained, wherein the order information includes delivery information.

[0012] In response to the sharing instruction, the sharing information is determined based on the first group purchase information;

[0013] Retrieve the identifier of the selected sharing object;

[0014] The sharing information is sent according to the selected sharing object identifier;

[0015] The shared information is linked to the first group-buying information.

[0016] Therefore, by sharing the information, more users can access group-buying information, which can increase the success rate of group buying.

[0017] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0018] Upon receiving a group-buying success message, display a message indicating that the group-buying was successful.

[0019] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0020] If no group-buying success message is received within the scheduled time or a group-buying failure message is received, the order cancellation process will be initiated.

[0021] Preferably, after generating the first order, the method further includes:

[0022] Initiate the payment collection process based on the first order.

[0023] Preferably, the order information also includes target specification information.

[0024] Preferably, obtaining order information includes:

[0025] Show collection options;

[0026] In response to the selection of the collection option, the delivery information of the first group purchase information is determined based on the delivery information of the first order.

[0027] This allows delivery information for multiple orders to be combined into one, enabling simultaneous delivery of multiple orders and improving delivery efficiency.

[0028] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, the method comprising:

[0029] Obtain first group purchase information, which is used to record the group purchase status and includes information about the provider.

[0030] In response to the triggering of the group purchase process, the provider identifier of the group purchase is determined based on the provider information in the first group purchase information;

[0031] Obtain the list of optional targets corresponding to the provider identifier, wherein the list of optional targets includes at least one target.

[0032] Therefore, by determining the provider identifier for group buying based on the provider information in the first group buying information, the scope of group buying providers can be expanded, the success rate of group buying can be increased, and the time required for successful group buying can be shortened.

[0033] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0034] In response to a selected instruction, the corresponding order information is obtained, including delivery information;

[0035] A second order is generated based on the identifier of the selected target and the order information.

[0036] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0037] A notification message indicating that a second order has been successfully generated is sent based on the first group-buying purchase information. The notification message indicating that the second order has been successfully generated is used to update the first group-buying purchase information.

[0038] Therefore, by updating the status of the first group purchase information, users can obtain accurate information about the first group purchase.

[0039] Preferably, obtaining the corresponding order information includes:

[0040] Show collection options;

[0041] In response to the selection of the cash-on-delivery option, delivery information is obtained from the main order based on the first group-buying purchase information.

[0043] In response to the delivery information of the confirmed first group purchase information, the delivery information is obtained based on the main order of the first group purchase information.

[0044] This allows delivery information for multiple orders to be combined into one, enabling simultaneous delivery of multiple orders and improving delivery efficiency.

[0045] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0046] In response to the sharing instruction, the sharing information is determined based on the first group purchase information;

[0047] Retrieve the identifier of the selected sharing object;

[0048] The sharing information is sent according to the sharing object identifier;

[0049] The shared information is linked to the first group-buying information.

[0050] Therefore, by sharing the information, more users can access group-buying information, which can increase the success rate of group buying.

[0051] Preferably, the identifier of the provider for group buying includes:

[0052] Get current location information;

[0053] In response to the current location information matching the delivery range of the provider in the first group purchase information, the identifier of the provider in the first group purchase information is determined as the provider identifier of the group purchase.

[0054] Therefore, by obtaining the current location information, it is possible to determine whether the current location is within the delivery range of the provider of the shared information, thus avoiding excessive delivery distances and improving delivery efficiency.

[0055] Preferably, the identifier of the provider for group buying includes:

[0056] In response to the mismatch between the current location information and the delivery range of the provider in the first group purchase information, a first provider set is obtained, which is the set to which the provider in the first group purchase information belongs;

[0057] In response to the existence of at least one provider in the first set of providers whose delivery range matches the current location information, one of the identifiers of the matching provider is determined as the identifier of the provider for the group purchase.

[0058] Therefore, when the provider in the shared information cannot deliver to the current location, by obtaining information about chain stores and determining the provider based on the matching of chain stores with the current location, the location range of users participating in group buying can be expanded, thereby increasing the success rate of joining the group.

[0059] Preferably, determining one of the matching provider identifiers as the provider identifier for the group purchase includes:

[0060] The identifier of the provider whose distance from the current location meets the preset condition is determined as the provider identifier of the group purchase.

[0061] Preferably, the identifier of the provider for group buying further includes:

[0062] In response to the absence of a provider in the first provider set whose delivery range matches the current location information, a second provider set is obtained and displayed. The second provider set is a set of providers whose delivery range matches the current location information and who are similar to the first provider.

[0063] Therefore, when the provider in the shared information cannot deliver to the current location, obtaining relevant or similar store information and determining the provider based on the matching of relevant or similar stores with the current location can expand the location range of users participating in group buying and increase the success rate of joining the group.

[0064] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0065] In response to a mismatch between the current location information and the delivery range of the provider in the first group-buying purchase information, at least one second group-buying purchase information is obtained, wherein the delivery range of the provider corresponding to the second group-buying purchase information matches the current location.

[0066] Therefore, by using multiple methods to identify the providers of group buying, the providers of group buying are not limited to those in the first group buying information, thus expanding the scope of providers and improving the success rate of group buying.

[0067] Preferably, after generating the second order, the method further includes:

[0068] Initiate the payment collection process based on the second order.

[0069] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0070] Upon receiving a group-buying success message, display a message indicating that the group-buying was successful.

[0071] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0072] Upon receiving a group-buying failure message, initiate an order cancellation process.

[0161] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0162] The present invention is described below based on embodiments, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments. In the detailed description of the invention below, certain specific details are described in detail. Those skilled in the art will fully understand the invention even without these details. To avoid obscuring the essence of the invention, well-known methods, processes, flows, elements, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0163] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should understand that the accompanying drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0164] Unless the context explicitly requires it, the words "comprising," "including," and similar terms throughout the specification and claims should be interpreted as encompassing rather than being exclusive or exhaustive; that is, meaning "including but not limited to."

[0165] In the description disclosed in this invention, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description disclosed in this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0166] "Group buying" refers to multiple users purchasing one or more products together, with the products being delivered to multiple users simultaneously, in order to increase sales and save on delivery costs. The products mentioned can be those sold by multiple merchants within a certain range.

[0167] Food delivery platforms use group buying to save on delivery costs and improve delivery efficiency. However, the current group buying model only allows multiple users to purchase the same specific dish from the same merchant, leading to excessively long group buying times and difficulty in successfully completing a group purchase.

[0168] This invention provides a group-buying scheme that can save on product delivery costs and improve delivery efficiency. The following embodiments use food delivery group-buying as an example; however, those skilled in the art will readily understand that the scheme of this invention can also be applied to different sales platforms such as online supermarkets. The products targeted in this invention can be of various types, such as various electronic products, dishes, daily necessities, and clothing. The content of the group-buying in this invention is not limited to the above-listed items and can be any product eligible for group-buying.

[0169] Figure 1 This is an exemplary system architecture of the first embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 1 As shown, system architecture 1 may include terminal devices 101 and 102, network 103, and server 104. Network 103 is used as a medium to provide a communication link between terminal devices 101 and 102 and server 104. Network 103 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0170] Users can use terminal devices 101 and 102 to interact with server 104 via network 103 to access various services, such as browsing web pages and downloading data. Various client applications can be installed on terminal devices 101 and 102, such as applications that can access Uniform Resource Locator (URL) cloud services, including but not limited to browsers and security applications.

[0171] Terminal devices 101 and 102 can be various electronic devices, including but not limited to personal computers, smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, personal digital assistants, e-book readers, etc.

[0172] Server 104 can generate group-buying information for the group-buying initiating terminal, and can also complete the group-buying process for the group-buying initiating terminal and each participating terminal. Server 104 can be a server providing various services. The server can provide services in response to user service requests. It can be understood that a server can provide one or more services, and the same service can also be provided by multiple servers.

[0173] It should be noted that the group-buying initiating terminal is the terminal that initiates the group-buying, which can send the group-buying information to other terminals to invite them to participate in the group-buying; the group-buying participating terminal is the terminal that receives the group-buying invitation message, which can also continue to send group-buying invitation messages to other terminals after receiving the invitation message to invite more terminals to participate in the group-buying.

[0174] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be included depending on actual needs.

[0175] The following is a specific example of a group-buying initiating terminal initiating a group-buying deal and a group-buying participating terminal participating in a group-buying deal. Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0176] Step S201: The group-buying initiating terminal obtains the identifier of the selected target.

[0177] Specifically, before step S201, there may be a step S201a, which provides a list of optional targets within the delivery range of the group-buying initiator's location to be displayed on the group-buying initiator's terminal for the initiator to choose from. The list of optional targets can be obtained based on the search keywords entered by the group-buying initiator to display targets related to the keywords; it can also be based on the group-buying initiator's historical purchase records, search records, etc.; and it can also be pushed based on parameters such as sales volume, positive review rate, and special offer items of the targets.

[0178] Based on the user's selection when initiating the group purchase, the identifier of the selected target is obtained. The target may include food, beverages, fruits, and other items participating in the group purchase. The target identifier may include the target's name, specifications, the store selling the product, or the product code. For example, the target specifications may include different sizes (large, medium, small) for the same flavor of milk tea. Multiple specifications can be included within a single target, or different specifications of the same product can be designated as different targets for the user to choose from.

[0179] Step S202: The group-buying initiating terminal obtains order information.

[0180] Specifically, the order information may include delivery information, which may include the delivery address and the recipient's contact information. The delivery address can be determined based on the GPS location provided by the group-buying initiating device, or it can be a delivery address entered by the user.

[0181] Furthermore, the order information may also include target specification information, such as the size and flavor of the target. The order information may also include the order type (whether it is a group-buying order), as well as the target identifier, quantity, order amount, and order weight.

[0182] Step S203: The group-buying initiating terminal generates the first order and sends a group-buying request to the server.

[0183] Specifically, the group-buying initiating terminal generates the first order based on the selected target identifier and order information, and sends a group-buying request to the server.

[0184] Step S204: The server sends the first group purchase information to the group purchase initiating terminal for display on the group purchase initiating terminal.

[0185] Specifically, after receiving a group-buying request from the group-buying initiating terminal, the server generates first group-buying purchase information and sends it to the group-buying initiating terminal for display. The first group-buying purchase information records the group-buying purchase status and includes the provider's identifier, which is used to determine the list of available targets corresponding to the provider.

[0186] The provider can be different merchants, and the provider's identifier can include the merchant's ID, name, and type. The merchant type can be categorized according to its business scope, such as fast food, breakfast, desserts, and beverages.

[0187] In step S205, the group-buying initiating terminal determines the sharing information based on the first group-buying purchase information and sends the sharing information to the group-buying participating terminals.

[0188] Specifically, based on the first group-buying purchase information, including sharing information, the sharing information is sent to one or more participating terminals through social media platforms. This sharing information can be shared via network transmission methods.

[0189] Step S206: The group-buying terminal obtains the first group-buying purchase information.

[0190] Specifically, participating terminals obtain the first group-buying purchase information from the server. Users can access the page displaying the first group-buying purchase information via a link shared by the terminal that initiated the group-buying. Alternatively, participating users can search for the first group-buying purchase information displayed on their terminals that matches their needs; in this case, in step S204, the server will also send the first group-buying purchase information to potential participating terminals for potential users to search.

[0191] Step S207: The group-buying terminal obtains the group-buying purchase target.

[0192] Specifically, based on the relevant group-buying target list provided by the server, participating users determine their group-buying targets. Further, step S207 can be referenced from step S201, and will not be repeated here.

[0193] Step S208: The group-buying participant terminal obtains order information.

[0194] Specifically, you can refer to the method for obtaining order information by the group-buying initiating terminal in step S202, which will not be repeated here.

[0195] In step S209, the group-buying terminal generates a second order and sends a group-buying request to the server.

[0196] Specifically, the participating terminal generates a second order based on the selected target identifier and order information, and sends a group-buying request to the server.

[0197] Step S210: The group-buying terminal sends a message that the second order has successfully joined the group-buying event to the group-buying initiator.

[0198] Specifically, based on the group-buying success message from the server, the participating terminal sends a message to the group-buying initiating terminal indicating that it has successfully participated in the group-buying.

[0199] Optionally, step S210 may also involve the server receiving a group-buying request from a participating terminal, determining that the participating terminal has successfully participated in the group-buying, and sending the information that the participating terminal has successfully participated in the group-buying to both the group-buying initiating terminal and the participating terminal, so as to update the first group-buying information displayed on both the group-buying initiating terminal and the participating terminal.

[0200] Step S211: The server determines whether the group purchase was successful.

[0201] Once the group-buying success conditions are met, the server will send a group-buying success message to indicate that the group-buying was successful. The criteria for determining whether a group-buying is successful include whether the first group-buying information meets the group-buying success conditions within a predetermined time. The group-buying success conditions include that the first group-buying information contains at least a predetermined number of orders. For example, having three orders in the first group-buying information within 15 minutes can be considered a successful group-buying. The group-buying success conditions are set by the server and sent to the group-buying initiating terminal. The group-buying initiating terminal obtains the group-buying success conditions from the server via the network and displays them in conjunction with the status of the first group-buying information. The predetermined time can be determined by the group-buying initiating terminal successfully paying for the first order. Alternatively, the server can receive the first order payment and, upon reaching the predetermined time, determine that the group-buying has failed and send a group-buying failure message to the group-buying initiating terminal. Alternatively, the group-buying initiating terminal can time out and send a timeout message to the server, which then determines that the group-buying has failed based on the received timeout message.

[0202] After a group purchase is successful, the server initiates the payment process based on the relevant order information. The server then sends the order information to the target provider (i.e., the merchant) and the delivery person to complete the delivery process. Alternatively, the payment process can be initiated when the first or second order is generated.

[0203] In this embodiment, determining the provider identifier for group buying based on the provider information in the first group buying information can expand the scope of group buying providers, improve the success rate of group buying, and shorten the time required for successful group buying.

[0204] Figures 3-6 This is a schematic diagram of the application scenario interface of the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the information processing application is used to initiate and participate in group buying.

[0205] like Figure 3 As shown, the group-buying initiating terminal displays a target list obtained from the server. Specifically, the group-buying initiating user can click on the item corresponding to dish 1 to join the group purchase. Based on the user's selection, the group-buying initiating terminal sends a request to the server to retrieve the details of dish 1. Once the group-buying initiating terminal obtains the details of dish 1, it will proceed to the following... Figure 4 The details page for dish 1 shown.

[0206] like Figure 4As shown, the details page for dish 1 displays nearby group-buying opportunities. Users initiating a group purchase can choose to buy dish 1 individually, initiate a group purchase, or join a group purchase. Once the user confirms the group purchase, the initiating terminal obtains order information such as delivery details and generates the first order. It then sends a group purchase request to the server. The server generates the first group purchase information, including the first order, based on the request. The server then sends this first group purchase information to the initiating terminal for display.

[0207] like Figure 5 As shown, the group-buying initiating terminal obtains the first group-buying purchase information. This interface displays information including the time remaining until the group-buying ends and how many more people are needed for the group to successfully complete the purchase. The interface also provides options to continue inviting friends or not to invite friends. Based on the group-buying initiating user's choice to continue inviting friends, the group-buying initiating terminal determines and sends sharing information to the group-buying participating terminals. This sharing information can be a link generated by the server that includes the first group-buying purchase information, sent by the group-buying initiating terminal to the group-buying participating terminals via social media platforms or other means.

[0208] like Figure 6 As shown, by clicking the link in the sharing information sent by the group-buying initiator, the participating terminal enters an interface displaying the first group-buying information and a list of selectable target dishes. The list of selectable target dishes can be different dishes from different merchants. The list of target dishes can be determined by the server based on predetermined conditions and displayed on the participating terminal, or it can be determined by the participating terminal based on its own location.

[0209] After the group-buying participant completes the group-buying order, the server will update as follows: Figure 5 The aforementioned group-buying information. When the conditions for a successful group purchase are met, the server will send a group-buying success message to both the initiating terminal and the participating terminals, and update the first group-buying purchase information to display that the group purchase was successful.

[0210] Figure 7 This is a flowchart of the information processing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, initiating a group purchase is used as an example for explanation. Figure 7 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0211] Step S701: Generate the first order based on the identifier of the selected target and the order information.

[0212] Specifically, the method for obtaining the target identifier in step S203 can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0213] Step S702: Display the first group purchase information with the first order as the main order.

[0214] Specifically, please refer to the method in step S204, which will not be repeated here.

[0215] Figure 8 This is a flowchart of an optional implementation of the information processing method of the second embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0216] Step S801: Obtain the identifier of the selected target.

[0217] Step S802: In response to the received initiation command, obtain order information, wherein the order information includes delivery information.

[0218] The order information also includes information such as whether cash on delivery is required. Specifically, in one optional implementation, firstly, the cash on delivery option is displayed; then, in response to the cash on delivery option being selected, the delivery information of the main order of the first group purchase information is confirmed as the delivery information of the first group purchase information, so that the delivery information of all orders in the first group purchase information is the same as the delivery information of the first group purchase information.

[0219] Step S803: Generate a first order based on the identifier of the selected target and the order information.

[0220] The user initiating the group purchase places an order and confirms participation through the group purchase initiating terminal, thereby generating a first order that includes delivery information and target specifications. This first order can be transmitted to the server via the network.

[0221] Step S804: Determine whether to participate in group buying. If "No" is selected, proceed to step S805 to pay and complete the order. If "Yes" is selected, proceed to step S806.

[0222] Specifically, the determination of whether to participate in group buying can be made by the server based on order information, or by the server based on instructions from the group buying initiating terminal. The order information includes details such as whether the target dish is eligible for group buying.

[0223] Step S805: Pay and complete the order.

[0224] Step S806: Initiate the payment collection process based on the first order.

[0225] Specifically, based on the order amount of the first order, a payment instruction message is sent to the server. This payment instruction message indicates the payment method for the corresponding first order. The server then sends a payment instruction to the group-buying initiating terminal based on the payment instruction message sent by the first terminal. This payment instruction message indicates the amount of the first order. The first order amount is the sum of the selected product price and the delivery fee. The delivery fee is determined based on different group-buying scenarios.

[0226] Step S807: Display the first group purchase information.

[0227] Specifically, the system displays the first group purchase information with the first order as the main order. The first group purchase information records the group purchase status and includes the provider's information. The provider's information in the first group purchase information is used to determine the provider's identifier for the group purchase.

[0228] The server identifies whether the first order is a group-buying order based on the identified order information, generates the first group-buying purchase information, and transmits it over the network to the group-buying initiating terminal and eligible group-buying participating terminals for display. This allows different users to view the first group-buying purchase information through the group-buying initiating terminal and the group-buying participating terminal. The first group-buying purchase information may include the target dish, target merchant, order initiation time, number of participating orders, participation conditions, and the number of orders required for the group to succeed.

[0229] In one alternative implementation, the user initiating the group purchase can select different products from multiple merchants to form multiple first orders, where these merchants must be within a certain distance. This creates a first group purchase information comprising multiple first orders. This increases the success rate of group purchases and can save on delivery costs when a user wants to purchase products from multiple merchants.

[0230] Step S808: Determine whether to send sharing information. If "no", proceed to step S810. If "yes", proceed to step S809 and then proceed to step S810.

[0231] Step S809: Send sharing information.

[0232] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, step S809 includes the following steps:

[0233] Step S901: In response to the sharing instruction, determine the sharing information based on the first group purchase information.

[0234] In response to the server's sharing instruction, the sharing information is determined based on the first group purchase information. The first group purchase information may include the target dish for the group purchase, the target merchant, the order initiation time, the number of orders participating in the group purchase, the conditions for participating in the group purchase, and the number of orders required for the group purchase to succeed.

[0235] Step S902: Obtain the identifier of the selected sharing object.

[0236] Specifically, the identifier of the sharing object may include a specified user on a social media platform. Based on the sharing instruction, the server can redirect the page to the relevant social media platform to obtain a list of identifiers for group-buying participants, and determine the identifiers of one or more sharing objects. The server can also push users who meet the group-buying conditions based on the sharing instruction. Users who meet the group-buying conditions include those whose delivery address is within a certain range of the delivery address of the first order, such as those located in the same residential area, school, or office building as the delivery address of the first order.

[0237] Step S903: Send the sharing information according to the selected sharing object identifier.

[0238] Specifically, the sharing information is sent to one or more selected sharing objects. The sharing information can be shared via transmission methods such as a network.

[0239] Step S810: Determine whether the group purchase was successful. If "No", proceed to step S812; if "Yes", proceed to step S811.

[0240] Step S811: Group purchase successful.

[0241] Specifically, in response to receiving a group-buying success message, the system displays a message indicating that the group-buying was successful.

[0242] When the conditions for successful group purchase as specified in the first group purchase information are met, the server will send a group purchase success message to the initiating terminal and the participating terminals, update the first group purchase information, and display that the group purchase was successful.

[0243] Step S812: Determine whether to cancel the order. If "no", proceed to step S807; if "yes", proceed to step S813.

[0244] The decision to cancel an order can be made by the user who initiated the group purchase, or by the server based on predetermined conditions.

[0245] Step S813: Initiate the order cancellation process.

[0246] Specifically, in response to not receiving a group-buying success message or receiving a group-buying failure message within the predetermined time, an order cancellation process is initiated.

[0247] If the conditions for successful group purchase as specified in the initial group purchase information are not met within the predetermined time, the server will send a group purchase failure message to both the initiating and participating terminals, indicating that the group purchase has failed. Based on the received group purchase failure message, an order cancellation process will be initiated.

[0248] In one optional implementation, the user initiating the group purchase determines dish 1 based on the product information displayed on the group purchase initiating terminal. The group purchase initiating terminal obtains the selected dish 1 and displays its specifications for the user to choose from, such as large, medium, and small portions. The user confirms the group purchase, and the group purchase initiating terminal responds to the order instruction by obtaining delivery information, such as the delivery address and contact information. After confirming the delivery information, the group purchase initiating terminal places an order according to the user's instruction, generating the first order. The payment process is initiated based on the first order. After payment is completed, the server sends the first group purchase information to the group purchase initiating terminal. The group purchase initiating terminal sends sharing information obtained based on the first group purchase information to the participating terminals to invite them to participate in the group purchase. Based on the updated first group purchase information, the server determines whether the group purchase is successful. If the group purchase is successful, it sends a group purchase success message to the group purchase initiating terminal and sends relevant instructions to complete the delivery. If the group purchase fails, a refund process is initiated.

[0249] In this embodiment, determining the provider identifier for group buying based on the provider information in the first group buying information can expand the scope of group buying providers, improve the success rate of group buying, and shorten the time required for successful group buying.

[0250] Figure 10 This is a flowchart of the information processing method according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, participation in group buying is used as an example for explanation. Figure 10 As shown, the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0251] Step S1001: Obtain the first group purchase information, which records the group purchase status.

[0252] The first group-buying purchase information may include the target dish, target merchant, order initiation time, number of participating orders, participation conditions, and the number of orders required for the group to succeed. Specifically, the method for obtaining the first group-buying purchase information is described in step S206, and will not be repeated here.

[0253] Step S1002: In response to the group buying process being triggered, determine the identifier of the group buying provider.

[0254] The provider identifier for the group purchase may include the target merchant in the first order, chain merchants related to the target merchant in the first order, and merchants within a certain distance range of the target merchant in the first order.

[0255] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, step S1002 may include the following steps:

[0256] Step S1101: Obtain current location information.

[0257] The location can be determined via GPS or by users participating in the group purchase entering and confirming their delivery location at the group purchase terminal. This determines the current location information of the group purchase terminal, i.e., the delivery address of the group purchase terminal.

[0258] Step S1102: Determine whether the current location information matches the delivery range of the provider in the shared information. If "no", proceed to step S1104; if "yes", proceed to step S1103.

[0259] Step S1103: The identifier of the provider in the shared information is identified as the identifier of the group purchase provider.

[0260] Specifically, in response to the current location information matching the delivery range of the provider in the shared information, the identifier of the provider in the shared information is determined as the identifier of the provider for the group purchase.

[0261] The eligibility of a group-buying terminal to participate in group buying is determined based on the delivery location of the participating terminal and the location information of the provider in the first order. These eligibility criteria include whether the delivery location of the participating terminal is within the delivery range of the provider in the first order, or whether the delivery address in the first order matches the location of the participating terminal. The matching of the delivery address in the first order with the location of the participating terminal can be determined by considering factors such as the delivery route. If the eligibility criteria are met, the provider's identifier in the shared information is identified as the provider identifier for the group-buying purchase.

[0262] Step S1104: Obtain the first provider set, which is the set to which the providers in the shared information belong.

[0263] Specifically, in response to a mismatch between the current location information and the delivery range of the provider in the shared information, a first set of providers is obtained, wherein the first set of providers is the set to which the providers in the shared information belong.

[0264] When the current location information does not match the delivery range of the provider in the shared information, the server will, based on this mismatch, obtain the chain store information of the provider in the shared information and form a first set of providers, which will then be sent to the group-buying participating terminal. This first set of providers can include related chain stores and partner stores of the provider in the shared information.

[0265] Step S1105: Determine whether there is a provider in the first provider set whose distance from the current location information meets the preset condition. If "no", proceed to step S1107; if "yes", proceed to step S1106.

[0266] Specifically, it determines whether the current location information is within the delivery range of one or more chain stores of the first provider set.

[0267] Step S1106: The identifier of the provider whose distance from the current location information meets the preset conditions is determined as the identifier of the group purchase provider.

[0268] Specifically, the distance between the group-buying providers in the first set of providers and the current location information is matched to determine the group-buying providers within a certain distance of the current location, for example, providers within a five-kilometer radius of the current location. The server can generate a list of qualified group-buying providers ranked from highest to lowest matching degree and send it to the participating terminals for display, allowing users to choose.

[0269] Furthermore, one or more qualified providers are identified as provider identifiers for group buying. The participating terminal determines one of these provider identifiers as the group buying provider identifier. The determination of the group buying provider identifier can be based on multiple factors such as distance range, delivery route, and related target products. Alternatively, in another optional implementation, the server can designate the provider closest to the current location.

[0270] Step S1107: Obtain and display the second set of providers.

[0271] Specifically, in response to the absence of a provider in the first provider set whose delivery range matches the current location information, a second provider set is obtained and displayed. The second provider set is a set of providers whose delivery range matches the current location information and who are similar to the first provider.

[0272] If the delivery range of any of the provider's chain stores in the shared information does not include the current location information, or if the provider in the shared information does not have chain stores or partner stores, the server will generate a second set of providers including one or more providers and send it to the group-buying terminal for the user to select. The group-buying terminal receives the second set of providers. The second set of providers may include providers with the same or similar product categories within a certain distance of the provider in the shared information, and the current location information is within the delivery range of the second provider.

[0273] Alternatively, in another implementation, if no matching provider exists, a prompt message is provided in response to the absence of a provider whose distance from the current location meets the preset condition.

[0274] Specifically, if there is no matching provider within a certain distance of the current location, the server sends a notification message to the participating terminal indicating that there is no matching provider.

[0275] In one alternative implementation, if the provider in the shared information is A, and the location information of the group-buying participants is within the delivery range of provider A, then the group-buying participants can directly participate in the group purchase.

[0276] When a user's location is outside provider A's delivery area, the system can retrieve a collection of provider A's chain stores for the user to choose from, or directly display the chain store closest to provider A or the one most convenient for delivery. The user then selects products from provider A's chain stores to participate in the group purchase.

[0277] If no suitable chain store of Provider A is available, relevant merchant information can be obtained for group-buying participants to choose from. The location of the group-buying participants must be within the delivery range of the relevant merchant information, and the relevant merchants must offer products similar to those of Provider A.

[0278] When there is no supplier that meets the criteria for the same or similar product category as supplier A, the identifier of the supplier whose distance from the current location meets the preset condition will be determined as the supplier identifier for the group purchase.

[0279] If no provider exists that meets the preset distance criteria from the current location, a prompt message will be provided, such as "Group buying is not currently supported at this location".

[0280] In another alternative implementation, multiple different merchants within a certain range of providers in the shared information can be simultaneously obtained for group-buying users to choose from. The location of the group-buying users is within the delivery range of these multiple different merchants. These different merchants can be sorted sequentially according to their relevance to the providers in the shared information. The corresponding delivery fee is determined based on the different providers selected by the group-buying users.

[0281] Furthermore, the user who initiates the group purchase can also place another order as a participating user. For example, the user's first order could be a rice set meal from merchant B, and the user could also choose milk tea from merchant C as their second order. Merchant C is located within a certain range of merchant B, for example, if merchant C and merchant B are in the same food court. During the delivery process, the delivery routes for the first and second orders are basically the same, which can expand the user's range of choices without increasing additional delivery costs.

[0282] Specifically, the target may include food and beverages, the provider is a designated merchant, the server will send the target provided by the provider according to the determined provider identifier, the group-buying terminal can obtain multiple targets provided by the provider through the server, and the group-buying user can select one or more targets according to their own preferences.

[0283] Figure 12 This is a flowchart of an optional implementation of an information processing method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The information processing method in this embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0284] Step S1201: Obtain the first group purchase information.

[0285] Step S1202: Obtain current location information.

[0286] Step S1203: Determine whether the product is within the delivery range of the first group-buying information provider. If "no", proceed to step S1204; if "yes", proceed to step S1206.

[0287] Step S1204: Determine whether it is within the delivery range of the first provider. If "no", proceed to step S1205; if "yes", proceed to step S1206.

[0288] Step S1205: Determine whether it is within the delivery range of the second provider. If "no", proceed to step S1207; if "yes", proceed to step S1206.

[0289] Step S1206: Obtain the list of optional targets corresponding to the provider identifier.

[0290] Step S1207: In response to the mismatch between the current location information and the delivery range of the provider in the first group purchase information, at least one second group purchase information is obtained, wherein the delivery range of the provider corresponding to the second group purchase information matches the current location.

[0291] Specifically, when the current location information does not match the delivery range of the provider in the first group-buying purchase information, the server sends relevant second group-buying purchase information. The delivery range of the provider in the second group-buying purchase information matches the current location.

[0292] In one alternative implementation, when the provider of the first group-buying information, or the chain stores or other merchants related to the provider of the first group-buying information, are unable to deliver to the current location, or when the group-buying user cannot find the product they want to buy in the relevant provider set, they can obtain other group-buying information that can deliver to the current location.

[0293] In another optional implementation, step S1203: determine whether it is within the delivery range of the first group-buying information provider; if "no", proceed directly to step S1207. In yet another optional implementation, step S1204: determine whether it is within the delivery range of the first provider; if "no", proceed directly to step S1207.

[0294] Step S1208: In response to the selected instruction, obtain the corresponding order information, which includes delivery information.

[0295] Specifically, after a user selects a product in a group-buying transaction and confirms the selection, a command to retrieve order information is triggered, and the order information is obtained. This order information may include delivery information, such as the delivery address and the recipient's contact information. The delivery address can be determined based on GPS positioning provided by the terminal device, or it can be a delivery address entered by the user. Furthermore, the order information may also include target specification information, such as the size and flavor of the target item. The order information may also include the item's identifier, quantity, order amount, and order weight.

[0296] The order information also includes information such as whether cash on delivery is required. Specifically, in one optional implementation, if cash on delivery is not confirmed for the main order of the first group-buying purchase information, the cash on delivery option is first displayed; then, in response to the selection of the cash on delivery option, delivery information is obtained based on the main order of the first group-buying purchase information. In another optional implementation, if cash on delivery is not confirmed for the main order of the first group-buying purchase information, and the cash on delivery option in the order is also not selected, then relevant delivery information is obtained through the group-buying participant terminal. In yet another optional implementation, if cash on delivery has been confirmed for the main order of the first group-buying purchase information, the delivery information of the main order of the first group-buying purchase information is directly obtained.

[0297] Step S1209: Generate a second order based on the identifier of the selected target and the order information.

[0298] Users participating in group buying place orders through the group buying terminal, thereby generating a second order that includes delivery information and target specifications. This second order can then be transmitted to the server via the network.

[0299] Step S1210: Initiate the payment collection process based on the second order.

[0300] Initiate the payment collection process based on the order amount of the second order. For details, please refer to step S806, which will not be repeated here.

[0301] Step S1211: Send a notification message that the second order has been successfully generated based on the shared information. The notification message that the second order has been successfully generated is used to update the first group purchase information.

[0302] Specifically, after the second order is successfully generated, the participating terminal can send a notification of successful second order generation to the initiating terminal to update information such as the number of participants in the first group purchase. Alternatively, after the server receives the second order information from the participating terminal, it can update the first group purchase information and send a notification of successful second order generation to the initiating terminal.

[0303] Step S1212: Determine whether to send sharing information. If “yes”, proceed to step S1213; if “no”, proceed to step S1214.

[0304] Step S1213: Send sharing information.

[0305] For details, please refer to step S809, which will not be repeated here.

[0306] Step S1214: Determine whether the group purchase was successful. If "yes", proceed to step S1215; if "no", proceed to step S1216.

[0307] Step S1215: In response to receiving the group purchase success message, display that the group purchase was successful.

[0308] When the conditions for successful group purchase as specified in the first group purchase information are met, the server will send a group purchase success message to the participating terminals and the initiating terminal, update the first group purchase information, and display that the group purchase was successful.

[0309] Step S1216: In response to receiving the group purchase failure message, initiate the order cancellation process.

[0310] If the conditions for successful group purchase as specified in the initial group purchase information are not met within the predetermined time, the server will send a group purchase failure message to both the initiating and participating terminals, indicating that the group purchase has failed. Based on the received group purchase failure message, an order cancellation process will be initiated.

[0311] In one optional implementation, the group-buying participating terminal obtains the first group-buying purchase information from the group-buying initiating terminal and confirms its participation. The server then identifies and sends qualified providers (merchants) to the participating terminals for display. If no qualified merchants are found, relevant second group-buying information is displayed. If a participating user selects Merchant A as the provider, the participating terminal displays a list of available targets (menu items) for Merchant A's group-buying activity. The user selects dish B and participates in the group-buying. The participating terminal responds to the order placement instruction by obtaining delivery information, such as the delivery address and contact information. After confirming the delivery information, the participating terminal places an order according to the user's instruction, generating a second order. The payment process is then initiated based on the second order. After payment is completed, the server updates the first group-buying purchase information and sends it to both the group-buying initiating terminal and the participating terminals. The participating terminals then send sharing information obtained from the first group-buying purchase information to other participating terminals. Based on the updated first group purchase information, the server determines whether the group purchase meets the conditions for success. If the group purchase is successful, the server will send relevant instructions to complete the delivery. If the group purchase fails, a refund process will be initiated.

[0312] In this embodiment, multiple methods are used to determine the provider identifier for group buying, so that the provider for group buying is not limited to the provider in the first group buying information, thus expanding the scope of providers and improving the success rate of group buying.
