Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to the field of computers, and more specifically to methods, apparatus, electronic devices, and media for controlling target permissions. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information technology, the use of media accounts for content delivery on platforms has become increasingly common. In this process, a media account typically collaborates with one or more promoters and needs to simultaneously deliver various different types of content based on the promoters' needs.

[0003] However, when there are many promoters and a wide variety of content being delivered, clients often cannot effectively and efficiently control their target permissions. This may lead to content affecting each other, or prevent promoters from accurately attributing the feedback generated by their content. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method, apparatus, electronic device, and medium for controlling target permissions.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the disclosure, a method for controlling target permissions is provided, comprising: receiving a target permission request for a target object from a second account having a first relationship with a first account; determining whether a third account has a second relationship with the first account, wherein the first relationship is different from the second relationship; in response to the existence of the third account, sending a permission request to the first account and the third account; receiving authorization for the permission request from at least one of the first account and the third account; and, based on the authorization, transferring the target permissions for the target object based on the first account to the second account.

[0006] In a second aspect of the disclosure, a control device for target permissions is provided, comprising: a first information receiving module configured to receive a target permission request for a target object from a second account having a first relationship with the first account; an information determining module configured to determine whether a third account having a second relationship with the first account exists; a second information receiving module configured to receive authorization for the permission request from at least one of the first account and the third account; and a permission transfer module configured to transfer the target permissions for the target object based on the first account to the second account according to the authorization.

[0007] In a third aspect of this disclosure, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform the method according to the first aspect.

[0022] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0023] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0024] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0025] When targeting content based on media accounts, if there are many promoters and the media accounts fail to properly manage their target permissions, multiple different content deliveries may be made for the same target audience. This situation will obviously cause these different content deliveries to interfere with each other and make it impossible for promoters to accurately attribute the feedback from these deliveries.

[0026] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and medium for controlling target permissions. Specifically, when a second account requests promotional permissions based on a first account, both the first and third accounts can authorize the second account's request, thereby granting the second account promotional permissions. This method for controlling target permissions leverages the relationship between the first account (media account), the third account (main promotional account), and the second account (general promotional account) to achieve a technical solution where only one promotional account has promotional permissions for the same target object at any given time.

[0027] Figures 1 to 10 The examples provided all depict scenarios where media accounts have the authority to recommend content to a single target. For different target objects, different methods may be required. Figures 1 to 10 Similar but not identical control methods are used to control media accounts' permissions to recommend content to other target objects.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment in which certain embodiments of this disclosure may be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the example environment 100 includes at least an electronic device 110, client A 120, client B 130, and client C 140. The electronic device 110 can be a local server or a network server, such as a platform server or application server. Clients A 120, B 130, and C 140 can be terminal devices such as smartphones, computers, or laptops. In this embodiment, a user logs into a first account via client A 120, a second account via client B 130, and a third account via client C 140. Users logging into different accounts can be the same user or different users. An example of the first account is a media account (e.g., various social media accounts). A media account can authorize target permissions from other accounts. A promotional account with the target permissions of this media account can use the first account to deliver content to a target audience, thereby recommending content related to the target audience that the promoter wants to promote to other users on the platform. The promoter provides the content, and the media account is the main entity promoting the delivered content. The second account is an example of a general promotion account (e.g., self-operated, partnered influencer, etc.), and the third account is an example of a main promotion account (e.g., official advertising account). The third account has target permissions for the target audience based on the first account by default, and can authorize target permissions from other accounts, and can also actively transfer target permissions to other accounts.

[0029] refer to Figure 1After logging into the second account via client B 130, the user sends a target permission request for a target object based on the first account to electronic device 110. Upon receiving the target permission request from client B 130, electronic device 110 forwards the permission request from client B 130 to clients A 120 and C 140. The user confirms the target permission request through at least one of clients A 120 and C 140 and sends authorization for the target permission request to electronic device 110. Based on the first received authorization (from one of clients A 120 and C 140), electronic device 110 sends an instruction to client B to grant the target permission. In response to this instruction, the second account obtains the target permission for the target object based on the first account. In some embodiments, if electronic device 110 receives authorization from the other of clients A 120 and C 140 after receiving authorization from one of them, it does not resend the instruction to grant the target permission to client B.

[0030] This disclosure effectively controls the target permissions for content delivery using the first account based on the relationship between the first account, the second account, and the third account, in order to ensure the effectiveness of content delivery and avoid being affected by other content delivery.

[0031] The following will combine Figures 2 to 10 The process according to embodiments of this disclosure is described in detail. For ease of understanding, the specific embodiments mentioned in the following description are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. It is understood that the embodiments described below may also include additional actions not shown and / or actions shown may be omitted, and the scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0032] Figure 2 A flowchart of a target access control method according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 The electronic device 110 shown can serve as the execution subject of method 200, and can be a computing system, a single server, a distributed server, or a cloud-based server, etc.

[0033] In box 202, a target permission request for a target object is received from a second account that has a first relationship with the first account. The first account is a media account, and the second account is a general promotion account. The first relationship between the media account and the general promotion account is not the same as the relationship between the media account and the main promotion account. In this embodiment, there may be one or more second accounts.

[0034] In box 204, it is determined whether a third account exists, where the third user is the primary promotion account. In embodiments of this disclosure, a media account has only one primary promotion account. However, in alternative embodiments, a media account may also have multiple primary promotion accounts. As previously mentioned, the primary promotion account by default has target permissions for the target object using the first account, and can authorize target permissions from other accounts, and can also actively transfer target permissions to other accounts. If it is determined that a third account exists, proceed to box 206.

[0035] In box 206, send the permission request for the second account to the first account and the third account. The first account can grant target permissions from other accounts before establishing a primary promotion relationship with the third account, and from the establishment of the primary promotion relationship until its termination. The third account can grant target permissions from other accounts from the establishment of a primary promotion relationship with the first account until its termination.

[0036] Then, in box 208, authorization for the requested permissions is received from at least one of the first and third accounts. Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 110 sends a target permission request to both the first account and the third account, but because the user is not logged into the first account or the third account, or does not confirm the target permission request in the first account or the third account, electronic device 110 may only receive authorization from one of the first account or the third account.

[0037] In box 210, based on the earlier authorization from the first and third accounts, the target permissions are transferred to the second account. After obtaining the target permissions, the second account can deliver content to the target audience based on the first account. This method of controlling target permissions can fully guarantee the effectiveness of content delivery, avoid the influence of other content deliveries at the same time, and help to more accurately attribute the effectiveness of content delivery.

[0038] Figure 3 The illustration shows a process for controlling target permissions in the absence of a primary promotion account, and a process for establishing a primary promotion relationship between a media account and a primary promotion account, according to certain embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates an interface for notifying users of delivery permission requests according to certain embodiments of this disclosure. The following describes how to control target permissions in the absence of a primary promotion account. It should be noted that in this application, target permissions are equivalent to content delivery permissions.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, since general promotion account 304 is not the primary promotion account of media account 302, it does not have target permissions at this stage (i.e., as shown in 324, general promotion account 304 has no placement permissions). In order to recommend content to the target audience based on media account 302, in 322, the user logs into the promotion platform using general promotion account 304, and in 326, applies for placement permissions. Here, since there is no primary promotion account 306 with a primary promotion relationship with media account 302 at this point in time (i.e., as shown in 312, the media account has no primary promotion account), the placement permission application of general promotion account 304 is sent to media account 302, and not to primary promotion account 306. As shown in 332, after logging into the media platform, media account 302 can receive the following... Figure 4 The notification for the ad placement permission application in 400 is followed by clicking "Go to Confirm" (410). After confirming the details of the ad placement permission application, the ad placement permission is granted (as shown in 334). This grants ad placement permission to general promotion account 304 (as shown in 328). After general promotion account 304 obtains ad placement permission, a notification will be received on the promotion platform confirming the grant of ad placement permission.

[0040] After general promotion account 304 obtains ad placement permissions (as shown in 328), if main promotion account 306 establishes a main promotion relationship with media account 314, the ad placement permissions authorized by media account 302 before establishing the main promotion relationship (as shown in 314) (i.e., the ad placement permissions obtained by general promotion account 304) are revoked. After main promotion account 306 establishes a main promotion relationship with media account 314, main promotion account 306 has target permissions by default and can transfer ad placement permissions. It can authorize ad placement permission requests, and media account 302 can authorize ad placement permission requests. Since general promotion account 304 obtained ad placement permissions based on authorization from media account 302 before main promotion account 306 established a main promotion relationship with media account 314 (as shown in 314), general promotion account 304 loses ad placement permissions and can reapply for ad placement permissions as needed (see details). Figure 5 According to some embodiments, the transfer and confirmation of delivery permissions can be performed on either the promotion platform or the media platform.

[0041] In some embodiments, target permissions can be permissions for delivering promotional content (i.e., content to be delivered). Target permissions are permissions related to information delivery / promotion / recommendation, specifically permissions related to information delivery / promotion targeting a target object. The target object can be a product that the promoter wants to promote, or something other than a product, such as a live streaming room. In some embodiments, target permissions for a target object include a first type of promotional permission (type A), a second type of promotional permission (type B), and a third type of promotional permission (type C). Here, types A, B, and C can be different target permission types for the same target object, or different target permission types for different target objects.

[0042] In some embodiments, if the target permission is a type A target permission concerning a target object, a second account that obtains the target permission can create and deliver type A content about the target object during the period it holds the permission. During the period it holds the delivery permission, the second account can only create one type A content about the target object. If it has already created one type A content about the target object, it cannot create a second type A content about the target object, and will receive a notification from the platform that the content creation is complete and cannot be created again.

[0043] In some embodiments, if the target permission is a type A permission about a target object, and a second account is using a first account to deliver content based on that content, all type B content deliveries about the target object by the second account and other promotional accounts based on the first account will be suspended. The second account and other promotional accounts delivering type B content about the target object based on the first account will be notified with the following message: "Your ongoing content delivery has been suspended due to the impact of a type A content delivery plan about the target object." Once the type A content delivery about the target object ends or is suspended, type B content delivery about the target object by the second account and other promotional accounts based on the first account can be manually resumed. However, type A content delivery about the target object does not affect type C content delivery about the target object.

[0044] In some embodiments, after receiving an earlier authorization from both the first and third accounts, requests for serving the same content are ignored, and authorization is only repeated for the later authorization. This method of executing authorization based on the order in which authorizations are received effectively solves the problem of the first and third accounts simultaneously managing serving permissions, and avoids duplicate authorization for the second account.

[0045] Figure 5The illustrations show certain embodiments of the present disclosure of the process for controlling target permissions in the presence of a primary promotion account, and the process for a media account to sever its primary promotion relationship with the primary promotion account. The following will describe the methods for controlling target permissions in the presence of a primary promotion account.

[0046] Since general promotion account 504 is not the primary promotion account for media account 502, it currently lacks target permissions (i.e., as shown in 534, general promotion account 504 has no ad placement permissions). To recommend content to the target audience based on media account 502, as shown in 532, the user logs into the promotion platform using general promotion account 504 and, as shown in 536, applies for ad placement permissions. Here, [the text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or missing information]. Figure 3 The difference in this embodiment is that, at the current time point, there exists a primary promotion account 506 that has a primary promotion relationship with media account 502 (as shown in 514, primary promotion account 506 has default placement permissions and can receive notifications with placement permissions on the promotion platform as shown in 616). Therefore, in 512, after logging into the promotion platform using primary promotion account 506, the user can receive notifications such as... Figure 4 The notification for the ad placement permission application is shown in the figure. Furthermore, after confirming the relevant details of the ad placement permission application, the user can authorize ad placement permission before media account 502 (as shown in 522), thereby allowing general promotion account 504 to obtain ad placement permission from the main promotion account (as shown in 538-1) (i.e., obtaining ad placement permission based on the authorization of the main promotion account 506). Users can also log in to the media platform using media account 502 (as shown in 542) to receive notifications such as... Figure 4 The notification for the application for advertising rights shown in the figure grants advertising rights to the main promotion account 506 one step ahead of the main promotion account 506 after confirming the relevant content of the application for advertising rights (as shown in 544), thereby enabling the general promotion account 504 to obtain advertising rights from the media account (as shown in 538-2) (that is, obtaining advertising rights based on the authorization of the media account 502). Figure 4 This is just one example of the notification interface for applying for advertising rights. The notification interface for applying for advertising rights can have various layouts and formats. In some embodiments of this application, the notification interface for applying for advertising rights presented to the main promotion account 506 can be different from the notification interface for applying for advertising rights presented to the media account 502.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 5After the general promotion account 504 obtains the advertising permission (as shown in 538-1 or 538-2), if the main promotion account 506 terminates the main promotion relationship with the media account (as shown in 518), the advertising permission authorized by the media account 502 and the main promotion account 506 before the termination of the main promotion relationship (as shown in 518) will be revoked (i.e., as shown in 540, the general promotion account 504 loses the advertising permission), and the main promotion account 506 can no longer authorize the advertising permission (i.e., as shown in 520, it cannot authorize the permission). In another embodiment, if the main promotion account 506 still possesses target permissions for the target audience based on the media account before severing its main promotion relationship with the media account (as shown in 518), and can also transfer the delivery permissions to other users, then after the main promotion account 506 severes its main promotion relationship with the media account (as shown in 518), the main promotion account 506 will not only be unable to authorize delivery permissions (i.e., unable to authorize delivery permissions), but will also lose its target permissions for the target audience based on the media account, and will be unable to transfer delivery permissions to other users. However, the media account 502 can still authorize delivery permissions (i.e., can authorize delivery permissions as shown in 546), and at this point in time, if delivery permissions need to be applied for, delivery permissions can be applied for from the media account 502.

[0048] Figure 6 Example interfaces for presenting accounts capable of requesting deployment permissions, as shown in certain embodiments of this disclosure, are illustrated. Figure 6 As shown, when creating a promotion plan targeting a specific audience, users (e.g., promoters) can log in to the promotion platform and, through... Figure 6 The interface 600 confirms accounts eligible to apply for ad placement permissions. Users can also quickly find accounts eligible for ad placement permissions using the search box 610, and confirm the account type using the type notes 620 on the left side of the account (e.g., main promotion account, promotion account, account eligible for promotion, etc.). This search function improves the efficiency of promotion accounts finding accounts eligible for ad placement permissions and speeds up the application process.

[0049] Figure 7 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the process of transferring advertising authority again in the presence of a primary advertising account, according to certain embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 5 The steps for a general promotion account to obtain ad placement permissions are explained in detail here and will not be repeated.

[0050] After general promotion account 706 obtains ad placement permissions, logging into the promotion platform 722 confirms that it has ad placement permissions 724. As shown in 732, a user who wants to obtain ad placement permissions logs into the promotion platform using general promotion account 704 (at this time, as shown in 734, general promotion account 704 does not have ad placement permissions) and applies for ad placement permissions (as shown in 736). The ad placement permission application from general promotion account 704 is sent to the main promotion account 708 and media account 702. The user can log into the promotion platform using the main promotion account 708 as shown in 712 (as shown in 714, at this time the main promotion account 708 does not have ad placement permissions), and receive the following on the promotion platform: Figure 4 The notification for the ad placement permission application shown in the figure can be granted before media account 702 (as shown in 716) after confirming the relevant content of the ad placement permission application, as shown in 738-1. This allows general promotion account 704 to obtain ad placement permission from the main promotion account (i.e., transfer the ad placement permission of general promotion account 706 to general promotion account 704), and general promotion account 706 loses its ad placement permission (as shown in 726). Users can also log in to the media platform using media account 702 (as shown in 742) and receive notifications such as... Figure 4 The notification for the application for advertising rights shown in the figure grants advertising rights to the main promotion account 708 one step ahead of the main promotion account 708 after confirming the relevant content of the application for advertising rights (as shown in 744), thereby enabling the general promotion account 704 to obtain advertising rights from the media account (as shown in 738-2) (that is, obtaining advertising rights based on the authorization of the media account 702).

[0051] Figure 8 The diagram illustrates a process of proactively transferring advertising authority in the presence of a primary advertising account, according to certain embodiments of this disclosure.

[0052] The primary promotion account 806 can proactively transfer promotion permissions when it has them, even without receiving a request for such permissions from a general promotion user 804. For example, after communicating with the promoter and the owner of the media account offline, the primary promotion account 806 can proactively transfer promotion permissions, thus quickly and effectively transferring them to a specific account. Specifically, as shown in 812, the user logs into the promotion platform using the primary promotion account 806, confirms having default promotion permissions as shown in 814, and transfers the promotion permissions to the designated account (here, the designated general promotion account 804) as shown in 816. Before completing the proactive transfer, the user can log into the promotion platform using the general promotion account 804 as shown in 822, and confirm that they do not have promotion permissions (as shown in 824). After the proactive transfer is completed, the primary promotion account 806 loses its promotion permissions (as shown in 818) and receives a notification on the promotion platform regarding the loss of promotion permissions. The general promotion account 804 gains promotion permissions from the primary promotion account (as shown in 826) and receives a notification on the promotion platform regarding the gain of promotion permissions. This proactive transfer of advertising permissions using the main promotion account 806 eliminates the steps of applying for and authorizing the application for advertising permissions, simplifying the operation process and speeding up the transfer of advertising permissions.

[0053] Figure 9 Block diagrams of control devices for target permissions according to certain embodiments of this disclosure are shown. Figure 9 As shown, the device 900 includes a first information receiving module 902, an information determining module 904, a second information receiving module 906, and an access control module 908.

[0054] The first information receiving module 902 is configured to receive target permission requests for a target object from a second account that has a first relationship with the first account.
