[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a computer device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.
[0034] Before discussing the exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flowcharts. Although the flowcharts describe the steps as sequential processes, many of these steps can be performed in parallel, concurrently, or simultaneously. Furthermore, the order of the steps can be rearranged. The process can be terminated when its operation is complete, but may also have additional steps not included in the figures. The process can correspond to a method, function, procedure, subroutine, subroutine, etc.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating a method for distributing red envelopes in an instant messaging group according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations requiring increased traffic on existing instant messaging application platforms. The method can be executed by the red envelope distribution device for instant messaging groups provided in this embodiment. This device can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and is generally integrated into a computer device, specifically a personal computer, or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or tablet. The method can be implemented through an application program (APP) on the computer device. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following:
[0037] S11. Publish the administrator's preset red envelope rules to the target group within the instant messaging application platform.
[0038] S12. Obtain the rule adjustment request from the group members, and publish the adjusted red envelope rules confirmed by the administrator according to the rule adjustment request in the target group.
[0039] S13. Send red envelope messages to the target group according to the adjusted red envelope rules.
[0040] Specifically, businesses can create operational groups on instant messaging platforms and open their own online stores within these groups to sell their products. Group members can then conduct online transactions through these stores. Similarly, businesses can also operate offline stores and facilitate online payments for offline transactions through their operational groups. For example, they can provide a QR code for the group, which customers can scan to make payments offline. Furthermore, businesses can encourage customers to join and remain active in their operational groups by distributing red envelopes (digital cash gifts).
[0041] For designated merchants who need to distribute red envelopes, the administrators (such as the group owner or designated group members) can first publish preset red envelope rules in the corresponding target groups. These preset rules can be freely set by the administrators. Optionally, the preset red envelope rules may include one or more of the following: total red envelope amount, number of red envelopes, amount per red envelope, sending time, and triggering conditions. The triggering conditions include the total online payment amount within a preset time period meeting a preset total amount or the amount of a single online payment meeting a preset amount. For example, the preset red envelope rules could be: if the total online payment amount reaches 1000 yuan on a given day, red envelopes will be distributed at 7 PM that evening, with a total red envelope amount of 5% of the total online payment amount, ten red envelopes, and an amount per red envelope equal to one-tenth of the total red envelope amount. Alternatively, the preset red envelope rules could be: red envelopes will be distributed every evening at 7 PM, with a total red envelope amount of 100 yuan, ten red envelopes, and a random amount per red envelope, etc.
[0042] After the preset red envelope rules are published, group members can view them in the target group and negotiate by submitting rule adjustment requests. These requests can include increasing the red envelope amount, adjusting the sending time, modifying trigger conditions, etc. For example, a new rule could be added: when a single online payment reaches 200 yuan, a red envelope with a total amount of 10 yuan, five red envelopes, and a random amount per envelope, can be immediately issued. The rules can be directly modified based on the received adjustment requests. Administrators can also view the latest rule content at any time and proactively modify it to facilitate interactive negotiation with group members. Finally, the adjusted red envelope rules can be confirmed and republished in the target group. Similar to the preset red envelope rules, optionally, the adjusted red envelope rules may include one or more of the following: total red envelope amount, number of red envelopes, amount per envelope, sending time, and trigger conditions. The trigger conditions may include the total online payment amount within a preset time period meeting a preset total amount or the amount of a single online payment meeting a preset amount.
[0043] Once the administrator confirms the adjusted red envelope rules, the system can automatically send red envelope messages to the target group according to the adjusted rules, and this information will remain until the administrator re-releases the preset red envelope rules for further adjustments. After the red envelope message is sent, all members in the target group can participate in grabbing the red envelope. The cash amount successfully grabbed will be directly deposited into the corresponding user's platform account. The balance in the platform account can be used directly for consumption on the platform, and users can also withdraw the cash if they bind a bank card, etc.
[0044] In an optional implementation, the method further includes: real-time statistics of online payment information for online and / or offline transactions in the target group; and sending red envelope messages in the target group according to the adjusted red envelope rules, which includes: sending red envelope messages in the target group according to the online payment information and the adjusted red envelope rules.
[0045] Specifically, the aforementioned triggering conditions can be used, such as the total online payment amount within a preset time period meeting a preset total amount or the amount of a single online payment meeting a preset amount, etc. By statistically analyzing the online payment information in the target group, such as the amount of a single online payment, the total cumulative online payment amount per day, etc., and sending red envelope messages according to the adjusted red envelope rules based on this online payment information, such as whether the triggering conditions are met and calculating the total amount of the red envelope, the enthusiasm of group members to participate can be further improved.
[0046] Based on the above technical solution, optionally, the method further includes: if a first target user outside the target group completes an online payment within the target group, then the first target user is added to the target group. For example, after a user scans and pays using the QR code corresponding to the target group, that user can be automatically added to the target group as the first target user, and a red envelope benefit can be provided to them, thereby bringing more sustainable private domain customer traffic to the offline mall.
[0047] Based on the above technical solution, optionally, the method further includes: in response to the administrator's configuration operation, configuring the red envelope message to allow group members and / or users outside the group to initiate red envelope grabbing requests. That is, the administrator can set whether to allow users outside the group to participate in red envelope grabbing, thereby bringing continuous growth to private domain traffic. Specifically, after sending the red envelope message, a red envelope notification message can be pushed to registered users outside the group on the instant messaging application platform. These registered users can then enter the target group to grab red envelopes, thus attracting them to join the target group.
[0048] Further optionally, after sending the red envelope message to the target group according to the adjusted red envelope rules, the method further includes: if a second target user outside the target group successfully completes the red envelope grabbing operation, then after the second target user joins the target group, the grabbing result of the second target user is actually distributed to the second target user.
[0049] Specifically, users registered outside the target group can be allowed to enter the target group chat interface to grab red envelopes without joining the target group as a member. If a second target user outside the target group successfully grabs a red envelope, that second target user can be required to join the target group before actually receiving their reward. The corresponding cash amount can be credited to their platform account, thus helping the merchant increase traffic. Furthermore, if the second target user does not join the target group after a preset time after successfully grabbing a red envelope, their reward can be returned, allowing other group members to continue grabbing red envelopes, thus avoiding loss of the red envelope.
[0050] The technical solution provided in this invention first publishes the administrator's preset red envelope rules in the target group within an instant messaging application platform. Then, it obtains rule adjustment requests from group members and publishes the adjusted red envelope rules, finally confirmed by the administrator based on the members' requests, in the target group. Subsequently, red envelope messages can be automatically sent in the target group according to the adjusted rules. By allowing group members to negotiate the red envelope distribution rules, member engagement and enjoyment can be continuously enhanced. This gives members a sense of participation while also providing tangible benefits from receiving red envelopes, thereby generating more private domain traffic and indirectly increasing sales, achieving a win-win situation for both shop owners and customers.
