Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to the field of gift sharing, specifically to a method for handling items, an apparatus for handling items, a computer device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer product. Background Technology

[0002] Gifts refer to items given away free to customers by merchants after they purchase goods, in order to promote new products or attract customers. The current mainstream way of handling gifts is for merchants to give the gift that comes with the main item purchased by the customer. This method of handling gifts is relatively simple and lacks interactivity and fun.

[0003] Therefore, how to handle the distribution of gifts in order to enhance interactivity and fun is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method, apparatus, device, medium, and program product for processing items, which can share free gifts given by merchants when purchasing main products with friends as gifts.

[0086] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product including a computer program stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A processor of a computer device reads the computer program from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer program, causing the computer device to perform the aforementioned article processing method.

[0087] In this embodiment, the order interface of the first account displays a gift-giving entry. This entry is used to trigger the gifting of N gifts allocated to the first account based on the purchase of the target item executed by the first account, where N is a positive integer. Thus, if the buyer wants to share the gifts included with the purchase of the target item with friends, the buyer can trigger the gift-giving entry. In response to this triggering operation, the computer device can display a gift-giving configuration interface. The buyer can configure the gift-giving settings for this round or current gift-giving in this configuration interface. This configuration includes the message publishing object for receiving gift notification messages and the target gift for this gift-giving. Therefore, in response to the configuration operation executed by the buyer in the gift-giving configuration interface, the computer device can send a gift notification message to the message publishing object. This notification message is used to notify the second account accessing the message publishing object to claim the target gift. Therefore, on the one hand, compared to the traditional gift-giving method where the buyer purchases the gift from the merchant and the merchant distributes it to the recipient, this embodiment of the application eliminates the need for the buyer to spend additional electronic resources on gift purchase, reducing the buyer's financial burden. Furthermore, the gift-sharing method based on gift notification messages enhances the convenience and efficiency of gift sharing and social interaction between the buyer and friends. On the other hand, compared to the gift being given to the buyer along with the main product, this embodiment of the application allows the buyer to entrust the merchant to distribute the gift to friends, establishing a communication channel between friends and merchants, helping merchants expand their customer base (such as recipients), improving customer conversion rates, and increasing interaction among the buyer, friends, and merchants.

[0135] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0136] This application proposes an item processing solution, specifically a solution that allows users to purchase a main product from a merchant and then entrust the merchant to distribute the free gifts received with the purchase to their friends. For ease of understanding, the following is a brief introduction to some technical terms and related concepts involved in the item processing solution provided in this application embodiment; wherein:

[0137] (1) The main product, as opposed to the gift, refers to the item (or commodity) that a user purchases from a merchant by paying electronic resources. The recipient of the item is the user who paid the electronic resources. Among them, electronic resources are resources with equivalent exchange capabilities, including but not limited to: electronic cash, points, and electronic coupons.

[0138] (2) A gift, as opposed to the main product, refers to an item given free of charge by a merchant to a user after the user has purchased the main product from the merchant through electronic payment. The user does not need to pay electronic payment for the gift, and the user has the right to control the gift. In this embodiment, the user's right to control the gift includes, but is not limited to: the right to entrust the merchant to distribute the gift to friends, where distribution includes: offline delivery (i.e., the merchant mails the gift to friends offline) or online delivery (i.e., the merchant sends the gift directly to friends online). In this case, the actual recipient of the gift is the friend, so the gift can also be called a present; and the right to entrust the merchant to distribute the gift to oneself (i.e., mail it to oneself or send it to oneself online). In this case, the actual recipient of the gift is the user; and so on.

[0139] Therefore, the item processing solution provided in this application embodiment may involve three parties: the merchant, the user who purchases the main item from the merchant, and the user who receives the gift. For ease of distinction, this application embodiment supports referring to the user who purchases the main item from the merchant as the purchaser (or gift giver), and the user who receives the gift from the gift giver as the recipient (or gift receiver).

[0140] It should be noted that this application embodiment does not limit the type of items for either the main product or the gift. The types of items for the main product and the gift can include physical items or virtual items; wherein: ① Physical items refer to items that are distributed by the merchant through offline mail or other means after the user purchases the item; specifically, after the user purchases the item, they need to fill in a delivery address, and the merchant will transfer the item between the merchant and the user through mail or other means. Physical items can include, but are not limited to: clothing, furniture, appliances, food, and toys, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit the specific types of physical items. ② Virtual items refer to items that only need to be distributed or allocated to the user by the merchant online. Virtual items can include, but are not limited to: virtual skins (such as game skins, desktop backgrounds, etc., virtual skins are virtual decorative resources used on the Internet), electronic coupons, group-buying coupons, and package coupons, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit the specific types of virtual items.

[0141] It should also be noted that the types of the main item purchased by the buyer from the merchant and the free gift given by the merchant are independent of each other. For example, the main item purchased by the gift-giver is a physical item, while the free gift given by the merchant can be a virtual item; or, the main item purchased by the gift-giver is a physical item, while the free gift given by the merchant can be a physical item; or, the main item purchased by the gift-giver is a virtual item, while the free gift given by the merchant can be a physical item; or, the main item purchased by the gift-giver is a virtual item, while the free gift given by the merchant can be a virtual item. For ease of explanation, the following examples will use the case where both the main item and the free gift are physical items.

[0142] Practice has shown that in current mainstream solutions, after a buyer purchases the main product from a merchant, if the merchant offers a free gift, the merchant distributes the gift along with the main product. This method of distributing both the main product and the gift to the buyer incurs significant costs for the merchant and has low customer conversion rates. For the buyer, it lacks the fun and social aspect of shopping. Another current mainstream solution for gift-giving involves the buyer directly paying for the gift electronically from the merchant and then giving it to a friend. This method of gift-giving leads to the buyer incurring electronic resource expenditures, creating a significant financial burden.

[0143] Based on this, this application provides a novel item processing solution that enables gift-giving, transforming the distribution of gifts during the shopping process into social interaction and improving the efficiency of gift sharing among users. This not only allows buyers to receive free gifts without incurring additional costs, enabling them to freely give them to friends and thus enhancing the social aspect of shopping through gifts; but also, by disseminating gifts among different consumers, merchants can accurately transfer their products from existing customers (i.e., buyers) to new customers (i.e., recipients), thereby achieving gift dissemination based on social relationships and improving the efficiency of new customer engagement (i.e., the process of new customers purchasing goods from merchants).

[0144] The main content of the item processing solution provided in this application embodiment can include the following three parts: the merchant configures a gift-giving activity, the buyer gives a gift, and the recipient receives the gift. Specifically: ① The merchant configures the gift-giving activity, which refers to the process where the merchant configures the gift box in the background; the gift box is a combination of goods including a main item and at least one gift, such as a short-sleeved shirt as the main item and lipstick and hair tie as the accompanying gifts. ② The buyer shares the gift, which means that after purchasing the main item from the merchant through electronic payment, the buyer can, through some user operations, entrust the merchant to distribute the gifts in the gift box as gifts to friends. ③ The recipient receives the gift, which refers to the process where the recipient receives the gift shared by the buyer online. The following is combined with... Figure 1 The above-described gift-giving process briefly introduces the three parts mentioned above; for example... Figure 1 As shown:

[0145] (1) Merchants offer gift giveaways.

[0146] The gift-giving activity involves the merchant, the buyer, and the recipient, allowing them to give a gift to a friend when purchasing the main product. This application embodiment supports merchants configuring this gift-giving activity independently, meeting their personalized activity needs.

[0147] When creating or configuring a gift-giving campaign, merchants can configure the following, but are not limited to: ① Merchants can freely define which products participate in the gift-giving campaign according to their own campaign needs, and configure the main product—at least one gift; for example, if the products include Product 1, Product 2, Product 3, Product 4, and Product 5, the merchant can define Product 1 as the main product, and Products 2 and 3 as the associated gifts. ② Configure campaign rules, which define one or more rules that buyers and recipients must follow when participating in the gift-giving campaign. ③ Configure the campaign's validity period, such as from March 1st to March 10th. ④ Configure the campaign name. ⑤ Configure the campaign display scenarios, i.e., in which scenarios (such as live streaming, entering the product showcase, or conversation scenarios) the campaign entry point will be displayed, allowing consumers to participate in the gift-giving campaign.

[0148] (2) Buyers share the gift.

[0149] If a buyer pays for a main item (referred to as the target item in this embodiment) electronically while browsing products, the buyer's corresponding first account submits a request to create an order for the target item. The merchant (specifically, a server with order creation capabilities, such as an order server) responds to this request to create an order for the target item. If the target item is configured by the merchant to participate in a gift promotion, the gift promotion is triggered or initiated, and the buyer can execute the gift configuration settings. The gift configuration settings configured by the buyer are sent to a message publishing object, enabling a second account that can access the message publishing object to receive the gift associated with the target item. The general process of the buyer executing the configuration settings to send the gift may include:

[0150] The order interface for the first account is displayed on the computer device logged in. This first account refers to an account registered by the buyer online that can be used to purchase items, such as a social media account. The order interface includes a gift-giving entry point, which triggers the gifting of N gifts associated with the first account. These N gifts are configured by the merchant for the target item when creating the gift-giving campaign; that is, the target item is associated with these N gifts, and the target item is an item purchased by the first account using electronic resources. These N gifts are automatically allocated to the first account when the first account performs a purchase operation on the target item sold by the merchant. The target item purchase operation can include a series of actions performed by the first account on the merchant's side to place an order for the target item using electronic resources, such as adding the target item to the shopping cart, selecting the quantity of the target item, and paying for the target item electronically.

[0151] If a buyer wants to share the N gifts included with the purchase of a target item with others, they can trigger a gift-giving entry in the order interface. The computer device responds to this trigger by displaying a gift-giving configuration interface. In this interface, the buyer can configure the gift-giving settings. These settings include at least one message recipient for receiving gift notification messages and at least one target gift. The target gift is selected by the buyer from the N gifts and can be shared with others via a gift notification message; there can be one or more target gifts. The computer device can then send a gift notification message to the message recipient listed in the configuration, notifying a second account accessing that recipient to claim the target gift.

[0152] The message publishing object can be understood as a message carrier used to publish messages; the message is displayed through this message carrier so that the second account and the first account that can access the message carrier can view the published message; the message publishing object can specifically be a carrier for publishing or displaying gift notification messages. In this application embodiment, the message publishing object includes at least: social conversations and social public services. Wherein: ① A social conversation refers to an online conversation in which at least two users participate; the users participating in the social conversation can be understood as members of the social conversation, and members conduct topic discussions and message notifications through conversation messages (such as text or voice conversation messages) to achieve social communication between members. Depending on the number of members participating in the social conversation, the social conversation can include one-on-one conversations and group conversations; the number of participating members in a one-on-one conversation is two, such as a first account and a second account; the number of participating members in a group conversation is at least three, such as a group conversation including a first account and two second accounts. ② A social public service, or social content display service, can be understood as a carrier that can carry social public messages published by multiple users; the social public message can be understood as a post or dynamic published on the Internet. Different users may have different access to the same social public service. For example, if a social public service is configured to only grant access to certain users before publication, then only those users will be able to view the social public service. Social public services typically publish social public messages in the form of message streams, also known as feeds. A message stream is an information flow that continuously updates and displays social public information to users. Usually, a simple refresh operation is all it takes to obtain a large amount of social public information, which together form the message stream.

[0153] Therefore, this application embodiment supports gift sharing (or gift giving) not only through social conversations but also through social public services when giving gifts. This greatly expands the scope of gift sharing, enriches the fun of gift sharing, and meets the needs of buyers for a wider range of social interactions.

[0154] In this context, the second account refers to any account that has access to the message posting object and is different from the first account. In this embodiment, the second account represents the account corresponding to the recipient who can receive the gift. For example, the second account is a social account that participates in the same social session as the first account; or, for instance, the second account is any account that can access the social public service interface associated with the first account's social public service.

[0155] (3) The recipient receives the gift.

[0156] When a gift notification message is sent to the message recipient, it is specifically sent to each secondary account accessing that recipient. This allows the recipient to view the gift notification message within the message recipient's account and claim the gift via that notification. The processing logic for the gift differs depending on the recipient's progress in claiming the gift. For example, if the recipient does not claim the gift via the notification message before the valid claim period ends, the gift is returned to the gift inventory of the primary account. Conversely, if the recipient successfully claims the gift via the notification message before the valid claim period ends, a gift order is created, and the merchant ships the gift to the recipient according to this order.

[0157] It should be noted that (1)-(3) above only briefly introduce some of the main contents of the item processing solution provided in the embodiments of this application. The item processing solution provided in the embodiments of this application also includes other contents, such as merchants being able to view and analyze the activity data of gift promotions, and merchants being able to view item orders and gift orders; the contents of the item processing solution will be described in detail in the subsequent specific embodiments of this application.

[0158] Practice has shown that the item processing solution provided in this application has significant advantages when purchasing main products and sharing gifts. The advantages of this application's embodiments are illustrated below by comparing this application's solution with existing mainstream gift-giving and distribution solutions:

[0159] Current mainstream gift-giving methods involve buyers purchasing goods as gifts from merchants, who then distribute them to recipients. This method requires buyers to spend additional electronic resources to purchase gifts, increasing their financial burden. However, in this embodiment, buyers can use free gifts included with the main product as gifts, entrusting the merchant to deliver them directly to friends. This allows buyers to obtain free gifts without incurring additional costs, enabling them to freely give them to friends. Sharing gifts enhances the social interaction between buyers and friends. Compared to buyers independently purchasing gifts, sharing gifts through gift notification messages improves the efficiency of gift sharing.

[0160] Current mainstream gift distribution schemes involve merchants distributing the main product and the gift together to the buyer. This scheme not only requires merchants to bear higher costs (gift costs) for the same consumer, but also hinders merchants from acquiring new customers. However, the embodiments of this application allow buyers to entrust merchants to distribute the gift to their friends, which not only establishes a communication channel between friends and merchants, helping merchants to acquire new customers (such as recipients) and improve their customer conversion rate, but also enhances the convenience of gift sharing.

[0161] To facilitate a better understanding of the subsequent item handling scheme, the following section introduces some concepts related to the N gifts associated with the target item in this embodiment of the application:

[0162] ① For each of the N gifts, the gift-giving status includes: pending gift, gifted, and expired. Specifically: a) When a gift is in the pending gift-giving state, the purchaser can share it with others. b) A gift is in the gifted state because it has already been shared by the purchaser, and the recipient may or may not have claimed it; the purchaser is not allowed to share the gift again until it switches back from the gifted state to the pending gift-giving state.

[0163] Throughout the entire lifecycle of a gift in the gift-giving state, the recipient's progress in claiming the gift can include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: Pending Claim, Pending Address Filling, Pending Shipment, Pending Receipt, Signed for, or Returned. Pending Claim means that after the recipient accesses the gift notification message carried in the message sending object through a second account, the recipient has not clicked the gift notification message to claim the gift. If the gift is a physical gift, then Pending Address Filling means that the recipient has clicked the gift notification message but has not filled in a shipping address. Pending Shipment means that the recipient has clicked the gift notification message, filled in a shipping address, and the merchant has not mailed the gift to the recipient. Pending Receipt means that the merchant has mailed or distributed the gift online, but the recipient has not received or signed for the gift. Signed for means that the merchant has mailed or distributed the gift online, and the recipient has received or signed for the gift. Returned means that if the gift is sold after the purchase before being signed for by the recipient, the gift is returned to the merchant or the first account. c. Expired state means that the gift is prohibited from being shared with others by the purchaser. Possible scenarios where a gift is in an expired state include: the main product undergoes after-sales service (such as return, refund, or exchange), or the gift's valid gifting period has ended. When the target gift is in an expired state, if the main product has not undergone after-sales service, the target gift can be directly distributed to the buyer by the merchant to strengthen the buyer's dependence on the merchant; or, regardless of whether the main product has undergone after-sales service, the target gift can be directly returned to the merchant to help the merchant reduce costs.

[0164] ② N gifts are configured with a valid gifting period. This valid period is a time frame set by the merchant when configuring the gift-giving campaign, allowing buyers to gift the gifts. For example, if N gifts are allocated to the first account, it may take 7 days. During this valid period, the gifts are in a pending gifting or gifted state, allowing the buyer to gift them and the recipient to claim them. If the valid period expires, the gifts become invalid, and the buyer and recipient no longer have the authority to gift or claim them. Furthermore, if the valid gifting period for a target gift ends (e.g., 7 days) and the target gift has not yet been distributed by the merchant (e.g., via forwarding or online delivery) to the second account, the target gift will change from a pending gifting or gifted state to an invalid state. At this point, the target gift can be returned to the merchant or automatically distributed to the buyer.

[0165] ③ A target gift in the "gift" status is configured with a valid claim period. This valid claim period is a time range set by the merchant when configuring the gift-giving activity, allowing the recipient to claim the gift. For example, the target gift is sent to the recipient via a gift notification message by the first account within 24 hours of the message's start date. Within this valid claim period, the recipient can claim the target gift via the gift notification message; if the valid claim period expires, the recipient will no longer have the right to claim the target gift via the gift notification message. Furthermore, if the valid claim period for the target gift ends, and the target gift has not been distributed to the second account by the merchant (e.g., no shipping address was filled in or the gift notification message was not confirmed), the target gift is changed from the "gift" status to the "pending gift" status, so that the purchaser can gift the target gift again.

[0166] ④ After-sales service of gifts associated with the main product is affected by after-sales service of the main product. Specifically, recipients are not supported in requesting after-sales service for gifts; when the main product experiences after-sales service, the gifts associated with that main product will be affected. For example, in the event of after-sales service, any gifts that the merchant has not yet shipped will be returned to the merchant. For instance, gifts that need to be returned to the merchant in the event of after-sales service may include: gifts that have been claimed by the second account but not shipped by the merchant, gifts that have not been claimed by the second account, and gifts distributed to the second account but not claimed within the valid claim period, resulting in their return to the first account. For example, if a buyer performs an after-sales action on the target item (such as a return and refund, an exchange, or a refund only), and the target gift has not been distributed to the second account (e.g., the target gift has not yet been mailed or sent to the second account by the merchant), then the target gift will be changed from a gift status to an invalid status. This method can help merchants minimize costs as much as possible when the main product experiences after-sales service. For example, if a buyer performs an after-sales action on a target item, and the target gift has already been distributed to a second account (e.g., the item has already been shipped) when the after-sales action occurs, the target gift will still be given to the second account, and the merchant will not retrieve the gift in order to maintain customer goodwill.

[0167] It should be noted that ①-④ above are merely some exemplary gift-sharing strategies for N gifts associated with the target item; in practical applications, the rules can be expanded to increase the number of new customers for merchants, reduce costs, and enhance the social aspect of gift-giving, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0168] The item processing solution provided in this application is a solution that enables gift sharing during the item purchase process and can be applied to any item processing scenario (or item purchase scenario) where shopping is possible. Item purchase scenarios may include, but are not limited to: ① Shopping scenario: In a pure shopping scenario, this application embodiment supports buyers sharing a gift to a second account after purchasing the main item, so that the recipient can receive the gift through that second account. ② Live streaming scenario: In a live streaming scenario, if shopping is available in the live streaming room, this application embodiment supports buyers sharing the associated gift with friends after purchasing the main item in the live streaming room. ③ Conversation scenario: In a conversation scenario, if a shopping entry is provided in the conversation interface, buyers can purchase the main item through this entry and share the associated gift with friends. It should be understood that the above description is merely an exemplary item shopping scenario given in this application embodiment and does not limit the item shopping scenarios to which the item processing solution provided in this application embodiment is applied. The item processing solution provided in this application embodiment can provide efficient, convenient and accurate gift delivery services in various shopping scenarios. It demonstrates high value and practicality in item purchase scenarios, helps improve the user's shopping experience and helps merchants expand their customer base.

[0169] The item processing solution provided in this application embodiment can be provided by a gift-giving tool. This tool refers to a tool with multiple capabilities or functions, such as allowing merchants to configure gift-giving activities, supporting purchasers to entrust merchants to distribute gifts, and supporting recipients to receive gifts. Specifically: ① The gift-giving tool may include an application with multiple functions such as activity configuration, gift sharing (or gift sharing), and gift receiving. An application is a computer program designed to complete one or more specific tasks. Applications can be categorized according to different dimensions (such as the application's operating method, functions, etc.) to obtain the same application's types under different dimensions. For example, according to the application's operating method, applications may include, but are not limited to: clients installed on a terminal, small programs that can be used without downloading and installation (as subroutines of the client), web (World Wide Web) applications opened through a browser, etc. Furthermore, according to the application's functional type, applications may include, but are not limited to: IM (Instant Messaging) applications, content interaction applications, social e-commerce applications, etc. Instant messaging applications refer to internet-based applications that facilitate instant messaging and social interaction. These applications may include, but are not limited to, social applications with communication functions, map applications with social interaction functions, and game applications. Content interaction applications refer to applications capable of content interaction, such as online banking, sharing platforms, personal spaces, and news applications. Social e-commerce applications are those that simultaneously provide social and product purchasing functions; social functions include at least one of chat, social content publishing, and instant messaging functions. ② Gift-giving tools may include plugins within the application that support shopping functions; these plugins are code programs capable of implementing various functions mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as activity configuration, gift sharing, and gift receiving.

[0170] For ease of explanation, the following description will use the item processing solution provided in this application embodiment integrated into a gift-giving tool, which is a client with at least shopping functionality, as an example. For instance, the gift-giving tool is a shopping client with at least shopping functionality. After purchasing the main item in the shopping client, the buyer uses the sharing capability of the shopping client to share the gift as a gift notification message across applications to a social client with social functionality. In this case, cross-application gift-giving is achieved between the first account and the second account; the first account refers to the account the buyer uses to log in to the shopping client, the message publishing object is the object (social conversation or social public service) in the social client used to carry the gift notification message, and the second account is the recipient's account logged in to the social client that can access the message publishing object. In the case of cross-application gift sharing, when the second account receives the gift through the gift notification message published by the message publishing object, it needs to be redirected from the social client to the shopping client to receive the gift; specifically, after being redirected to the shopping client, the recipient uses a third account registered in the shopping client to receive the gift. For example, a social e-commerce application that combines gift-giving tools with social and shopping functions can enable in-app gift sharing. Specifically, while using the social e-commerce application for social interaction, buyers can purchase the main product and then use the application's social capabilities to share the free gift with other users, thus achieving gift sharing based on social features. In this case, the first account refers to the buyer's account used to log in to the social e-commerce application, the message sending object is the object within the application used to carry the gift notification message, and the second account is the account logged into the application that can access the message sending object.

[0171] To facilitate understanding of the article processing solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the following is combined with... Figure 2 The illustrated item handling system describes the item handling process. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an article processing system provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application; the article processing system includes terminals and servers. This application embodiment does not limit the number or type of terminals and servers included in the article processing system, but this is only described herein. For example, Figure 2 The item processing system shown includes terminal 201, terminal 202, terminal 203, and server 204; the following describes... Figure 2 The devices in the system shown are described below, including:

[0172] (1) Terminal 201 is a terminal device held by the buyer, which is equipped with a gift-giving tool, enabling the buyer to purchase the main product sold by the merchant and share gifts through the gift-giving tool in Terminal 201. Terminal 202 is a terminal device held by the recipient of the gift; in the case of gift-giving across applications, Terminal 202 may not have the gift-giving tool deployed, but the gift-giving tool deployed in Terminal 201 can be used to share gift notification messages across applications; in the case of gift-giving within the same application, Terminal 202 is also equipped with the gift-giving tool to ensure that the recipient receives the gift notification message through the gift-giving tool. Terminal 203 is a terminal device held by the merchant, which is equipped with a gift-giving tool, enabling the merchant to create gift-giving activities in Terminal 203, analyze activity data, and perform permission operations such as order management through the gift-giving tool. The terminals (such as terminals 201, 202, and 203) may include, but are not limited to, smartphones (such as smartphones running the Android system or smartphones running the Internetworking Operating System (IOS)), tablet computers, portable personal computers, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), in-vehicle devices, head-mounted devices, and other terminal devices. This application does not limit the type of terminal device, which is hereby stated.

[0173] Server 204 is the server corresponding to the terminals (such as terminals 201, 202, and 203), used to interact with the terminals to provide computing and application service support. Server 204 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Terminals 201, 202, 203, and server 204 can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited herein.

[0174] The article processing solution provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a computer device, which can be... Figure 2The system architecture shown includes terminals and / or servers; that is, the computer device can be executed by a terminal or a server, or by both terminals and servers. For example, the computer device is server 204, which implements various functions such as activity configuration, gift sharing, and gift collection; another example is that the computer device includes terminals 201, 202, 203, and server 204, meaning the item processing scheme is executed jointly by terminals 201, 202, 203, and server 204; yet another example is that the computer device includes terminals 201, 202, and 203, meaning the item processing scheme is executed jointly by terminals 201, 202, and 203; and so on. The following example, using terminals 201, 202, 203, and server 204 jointly executing an item processing scheme, illustrates the overall implementation process of the item processing scheme, where:

[0175] (1) Merchants create gift-giving activities through terminal 203.

[0176] Merchants can configure gift-giving activities for their store's products using the gift-giving tool deployed in terminal 203. This includes configuring which products are the main items, which are the gifts, and the valid timeframe for the gift-giving activity. After configuring the activity information in terminal 203, the merchant uploads the information to server 204. Server 204 stores the activity information and pushes the gift-giving activity to all visitors to the store.

[0177] Furthermore, merchants can also use terminal 203 to retrieve activity data for the gift-giving campaign from server 204, enabling them to perform statistical analysis, viewing, and other operations on the activity data. This is designed to help merchants better configure and adjust gift-giving campaigns. Simultaneously, merchants can also use terminal 203 to retrieve orders from server 204, including orders for the target item and orders for the gifts, to achieve efficient order management.

[0178] (2) The purchaser shares the gift through terminal 201.

[0179] When a buyer browses a merchant's target item on terminal 201, they can view information about a gift-giving promotion. If the buyer wants to participate in the promotion, they need to purchase the target item associated with the promotion. At this point, terminal 201 transmits the purchase information for the target item to server 204. Server 204 creates an order for the target item based on the purchase information and, according to the promotion information configured by the merchant for the gift-giving promotion, assigns N gifts associated with the target item to the buyer. Specifically, it assigns N gift identifiers to the buyer's corresponding first account; each gift identifier uniquely identifies a gift. Then, the buyer triggers the gift-giving entry through terminal 201 to display the gift-giving configuration interface. The buyer then performs configuration operations on this interface to configure the gift-giving settings, which include the message recipient and the selected target gift. Thus, after the buyer completes the configuration of the gift information, the terminal 201 transmits the gift configuration information to the server 204; the server 204 then sends a gift notification message to the message publishing object based on the gift configuration information, and at the same time creates a gift order corresponding to the gift configuration information for this gift; the gift notification message is used to notify at least one secondary account accessing the message publishing object to claim the target gift.

[0180] (3) The recipient receives the target gift.

[0181] The recipient can view the gift notification message in the message sending object through terminal 202. If the recipient wants to receive the target gift shared by the buyer, the recipient performs a series of gift-receiving operations on the gift notification message through the logged-in second account, generating gift-receiving information. Terminal 202 synchronizes the gift-receiving information to server 204, allowing server 204 to determine the recipient's progress in receiving the target gift based on the gift-receiving information. After the progress indicates that the recipient has successfully received the target gift (e.g., a shipping address has been filled in), server 204 creates a gift-receiving order based on the progress. Furthermore, server 204 synchronizes the recipient's progress in receiving the target gift or the gift-receiving order to terminals 201 and 203 in real time, allowing buyers and merchants to understand the receipt status of the target gift in real time.

[0182] Therefore, on the one hand, the embodiments of this application support buyers sharing the free gifts given by merchants when purchasing the main product with others; compared to requiring buyers to spend electronic resources to purchase goods as gifts to give to others, there is no additional cost, and the social interaction between buyers and recipients is enhanced by giving away free gifts. On the other hand, the embodiments of this application support merchants to send free gifts to recipients on their behalf; compared to only allowing merchants to distribute the gifts to buyers, at the same cost, the spread of free gifts among different consumers allows merchants to accurately transfer their goods or products from existing customers (i.e., buyers) to new customers (i.e., recipients), improving the efficiency of new customer seeding (i.e., the process of new customers purchasing goods from merchants).

[0183] Based on the foregoing Figure 1 The process and handling of the items shown Figure 2 The following points should be noted regarding the description of the architecture of the item processing system shown:

[0184] ①The embodiments of this application mentioned above Figure 2 The system architecture shown is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems. That is to say, Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the system architecture shown is an exemplary architecture diagram; in actual applications, the number and types of devices included in the system may vary, and the system architecture diagram in this application embodiment is not limited.

[0185] For example, when the terminal has high-performance hardware and software, Figure 2 The item processing system shown may only include terminals 201, 202, and 203; the item processing scheme is implemented through the interaction between terminals 201, 202, and 203. For example, server 204, in addition to... Figure 2 The single device shown can also be a distributed network, which includes sub-servers that support or provide different services to implement an item processing scheme.

[0186] ② In this application embodiment, the collection and processing of relevant data should strictly comply with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. Obtaining personal information requires the knowledge or consent of the individual (or a legal basis for information acquisition), and subsequent data use and processing should be carried out within the scope of laws, regulations, and the authorization of the personal information subject. For example, when this application embodiment is applied to specific products or technologies, such as sharing gifts in the form of gift notification messages to the message recipients, the permission or consent of the purchaser is required, and the collection, use, and processing of relevant data (such as order management) must comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant regions.

[0187] Based on the article processing scheme described above, this application proposes a more detailed article processing method. The article processing method proposed in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 A schematic flowchart of an article processing method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 3 The item processing method shown is executed by computer equipment, specifically by... Figure 2 The system shown executes at least one of the terminal 201 and server 204 held by the purchaser, wherein the terminal 201 is logged into a first account representing the purchaser; the item processing method includes, but is not limited to, steps S301-S303:

[0188] S301: Displays the order interface for the first account.

[0189] As mentioned above, the first account is the account that the buyer registers and logs into in the gift-giving tool (such as a social client or a social e-commerce client). This first account can uniquely identify the buyer in the gift-giving tool. The order interface of the first account is a user interface (UI) provided by the gift-giving tool, which can display orders related to the buyer. Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the order interface of the first account may include: an order center interface for displaying an order list, which includes at least one order related to the buyer arranged in order of order creation time, and at least one order includes an order for the main item (or target item) participating in the gift-giving activity; or, an order details interface for the order for the main item participating in the gift-giving activity in the order list.

[0190] To enhance the convenience of gift-giving, this embodiment supports setting a gift-giving entry point in the order interface of the first account. This entry point is used to trigger the gifting of N gifts. The N gifts are allocated to the first account based on the target item purchase operation performed by the first account for the target item. This target item purchase operation includes a series of actions performed by the first account to purchase or place an order for the target item in the store. In other words, if the order interface displays an order for a target item participating in a gift-giving activity, this embodiment supports quickly gifting the associated gift through the gift-giving entry point in the order interface. The entry points mentioned in this embodiment (such as gift-giving entry points, shopping entry points, etc.) can be represented on the interface as any of the following: components, controls, buttons, or options.

[0191] The following diagrams, with reference to the attached images, illustrate the display of the gift-giving entry in the order interface when the first account's order interface is the order center interface and the order details interface, respectively; where:

[0192] (1) The order interface for the first account is the order center interface.

[0193] like Figure 4 As shown, the order center interface 401 of the first account displays an order list, which includes at least one order in order of creation time. Taking the orders in the order list in ascending order of creation time as an example, the creation time of order 4011 in the order center interface 401 is later than that of order 4012. If order 4012 is an item order for a target item participating in a gift giveaway activity, then a gift giveaway entry is displayed in the order center interface 401, as shown in (a), where the gift giveaway entry 402 is displayed in the item order (i.e., order 4012) to indicate that the item order is associated with a gift that can be given away.

[0194] It is worth noting that the display area of ​​the order center interface is limited, while the number of orders in the order list is often large. When the order list includes multiple target items for gift-giving activities, it may be difficult to display the order for each target item at once in the order center interface. Instead, the buyer needs to search through multiple orders to find the item order for the gift, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of gift-giving and reduces the user experience. To address this, this application embodiment supports a prompt box in the first account's order center interface to help quickly index the order orders for items that can be gifted. The prompt box can be understood as a pop-up window displayed on top of the order center interface layer, with a display area smaller than the order center interface. This pop-up window indexes multiple item orders in the order list arranged in ascending order of creation time, specifically indexing the item orders for which the associated gift is pending gift-giving. In this way, the buyer can quickly and conveniently locate the item order for the gift in the order center interface through this prompt box, greatly improving the convenience of gift-giving and enhancing the user's gift-giving experience.

[0195] like Figure 5 As shown, a prompt box 501 is displayed in the order center interface of the first account. This prompt box 501 is used to prompt the buyer to send a gift. When the prompt box 501 is triggered once, the order center interface updates and displays the latest created item order 502 indexed by the prompt box 501. Item order 502 includes a gift sending entry, allowing the buyer to send the gift associated with item order 502 (specifically, the gift associated with the main item corresponding to item order 502) through this entry. If item order 502 is not the order for which the buyer wants to send a gift, the buyer can continue to trigger the prompt box 501 a second time. In this case, the order center interface updates and displays item order 503 indexed by the prompt box 501, whose creation time is later than item order 502. Item order 503 includes a gift sending entry, allowing the buyer to send the gift associated with item order 503. Therefore, it can be seen that buyers can trigger the prompt box 501 at least once to quickly locate the order of the item for which they want to give a gift in the order list. Compared with the need for buyers to manually flip through pages or scroll in the order center interface to find the order of the item for which they want to give a gift, this greatly speeds up the gift sharing process and improves the efficiency of gift sharing.

[0196] (2) The order interface for the first account is the order details interface.

[0197] like Figure 4The order center interface of the first account shown includes an order list, which includes orders for items associated with free gifts; this embodiment of the application allows buyers to access the order details interface of an item order by triggering that order. Figure 6 As shown, when item order 601 in the order center list is triggered, the order details interface 602 for item order 601 is displayed. This order details interface 602 is used to display order information related to item order 601, and the order information displayed in the order details interface 602 is more comprehensive than the order information of item order 601 displayed in the order center interface. Furthermore, a gift-giving entry 603 is displayed in the order details interface 602 for item order 601, so that buyers can quickly share gifts associated with item order 601 in the order details interface 602.

[0198] In summary, the order interface of the first account provided in this application embodiment can be an order center interface or an order details interface; for ease of explanation, the following description will take the order interface of the first account as the order details interface of the item order of the target item as an example, which is hereby explained.

[0199] Furthermore, as mentioned above, each gift has a gift-giving status. When a buyer gives gifts to N gifts associated with a target item (or N gifts associated with the target item's order), the N gifts correspond to different gift-giving statuses, and the gift-giving logic differs. To facilitate the buyer's intuitive understanding of the gift-giving statuses of the N gifts associated with the order, this application embodiment supports displaying gift status information in the order interface of the first account. This gift status is used to characterize the gift-giving statuses of the N gifts, that is, to describe the overall gift-giving status of the N gifts assigned to the first account, thereby improving the buyer's perception of the gift-giving statuses of the N gifts and enhancing the user experience. In specific implementation, if the gift status information displayed in the order interface indicates that there are gifts in the pending gift-giving status among the N gifts (such as all or some gifts in the pending gift-giving status), then the gift-giving entry in the order interface is displayed as optional; in this case, the gifts in the pending gift-giving status among the N gifts are allowed to be given by the buyer. Conversely, if the gift status information on the order interface indicates that all of the N gifts are either in a gift-giving state or in an expired state, the gift-giving entry will be displayed as unselectable; in this case, it is not allowed to purchase gifts associated with the target item for gift-giving.

[0200] When the target item is associated with N gifts that are in different gift-giving states, the possible gift status information displayed on the order page of the first account is as follows:

[0201] ① When all N gifts are in the "to be given" state (none have been given), the gift status information can be represented as: "Give N gifts to a friend". For example, assuming N=3, when none of the 3 gifts associated with the target item have been sent to the message recipient by the buyer via a gift notification message, the gift status information in the order interface will be displayed as: "Give 3 gifts to a friend", to remind the buyer that there are still 3 gifts to give to a friend.

[0202] ② When some of the N gifts are in the gift-giving state (partially given away), the gift status information can be represented as: K1 gifts have been given away, and N-K1 gifts are still available to be given away (K1 is a positive integer less than N). For example, when K1 = 1, one of the three gifts has been sent to the message recipient by the buyer via a gift notification message, and the gift status information displayed on the order interface is: 1 gift has been given away, and 2 gifts are still available to be given away.

[0203] ③ When all N gifts are in the gifting state (all given away), the gift status information can be represented as: all N gifts have been given to friends. For example, if the buyer sends a gift notification message to the recipient of all three gifts associated with the target item, the gift status information displayed on the order interface will be: all three gifts have been given to friends, to inform the buyer that there are no more gifts to give away.

[0204] ④ When all or some of the N gifts are in an invalid state (not delivered within the time limit or after-sales service), the gift status information can be represented as: K2 gifts are invalid (K2 is a positive integer less than N). For example, when K2 = 1, one of the three gifts is invalid. If the gift expires and the purchaser sends a gift notification message to the recipient, the gift status information displayed on the order interface can be: 1 gift expired and not delivered within the time limit; or, if the gift was not shipped by the merchant when the main product was after-sales serviced, the gift status information displayed on the order interface can be: Main product after-sales service, 1 gift is invalid.

[0205] For example, when the gift status information corresponding to the gift gifting status is displayed on the order interface of the first account, a diagram illustrating whether the gift gifting entry on the order interface is in an optional or unoptional state can be found here. Figure 7a and Figure 7b .like Figure 7a As shown in (1), the order interface displays gift status information 701. This gift status information 701 indicates that all N gifts associated with the target item are in a state of being ready to be given, meaning that all N gifts can be given by the buyer to a friend. In this case, the gift-giving entry 702 is displayed as an optional state. For example, the button color of the optional gift-giving entry 702 is darker to indicate to the buyer that the button can be triggered. Figure 7aAs shown in (2), if the gift status information 701 is used to characterize that K1 of the N gifts associated with the target item are in a gifting state (i.e., partially given away), then the gift gifting entry 702 is displayed as an optional state. Figure 7a As shown in (3), if the gift status information 701 is used to indicate that N gifts associated with the target item are in the gifting state (i.e., have been given); in this case, the gift gifting entry 702 is displayed as unselectable, such as the button color of the unselectable gift gifting entry 702 being lighter, or the unselectable gift gifting entry 702 being directly hidden in the order interface. Figure 7b As shown in (4), if the gift status information 701 is used to indicate that the gifting validity period of K2 items has expired (i.e., gifting timeout), then the K2 gifts are in an invalid state; in this case, the gift gifting entry 702 is displayed as unselectable. Figure 7b As shown in (5), if the gift status information 701 is used to indicate that the target item has been sold after the sale, K2 is in the state of waiting to be given away, or in the state of being given away but not yet shipped; in this case, the gift giving entry 702 is displayed as unselectable.

[0206] It should be understood that the style in which the gift-giving option is displayed as optional or unoptional on the order page of the first account is not limited to... Figure 7b The style shown.

[0207] S302: In response to the trigger operation of the gift-giving entry, display the gift-giving configuration interface.

[0208] S303: In response to the configuration operation in the gift configuration interface, send a gift notification message to the message publishing object.

[0209] In steps S302-S303, as mentioned above, the gift-giving entry is displayed on the order interface of the first account, and is used to trigger the gifting of N gifts associated with the target item (this entry can be represented as a component, button, option, or control, etc.). Furthermore, depending on the gift-giving status of the N gifts, the gift-giving entry may be in an optional or unavailable state. In this embodiment, the buyer is only allowed to perform a triggering operation on the gift-giving entry when it is in an optional state. In other words, the computer device displays the gift configuration interface in response to the buyer's triggering operation on the optional gift-giving entry.

[0210] The gift configuration interface is a service interface that allows buyers to set gift configuration information for this gift gifting. The computer device can respond to the buyer's configuration operation of entering gift configuration information in the gift configuration interface, display the configured gift configuration information in the gift configuration interface, and respond to the buyer's confirmation operation of the gift configuration information in the gift configuration interface, send a gift notification message to the message publishing object. Specifically: ① The configuration operation includes one or more operations to configure the gift configuration information. If the gift configuration information includes a message publishing object for receiving the gift notification message, and the buyer selects at least one target gift from N gifts for this gift gifting, the configuration operation at least includes an object configuration operation for configuring the message publishing object and a gift configuration operation for configuring the target gift. ② The gift notification message is sent to the message publishing object to notify a second account accessing the message publishing object to claim the target gift; that is, after the recipient views the gift notification message through the second account, they will know that they can claim the gift shared by the first account.

[0211] A schematic diagram of an exemplary configuration interface can be found here. Figure 8 ;like Figure 8 As shown, when a buyer wants to share the free gift included with the purchase of a target item with others, the buyer can trigger the gift-giving entry in the order interface of the first account (such as the aforementioned order center interface or order details interface). In response to the buyer's triggering of the gift-giving entry, the computer displays a gift configuration interface 801 for receiving the gift configuration information entered by the buyer.

[0212] Therefore, step S303 mainly includes two parts: the purchaser performs a configuration operation in the gift configuration interface to configure the gift configuration information, and the computer device responds to the configuration operation by sending a gift notification message to the message publishing object. The specific implementation process of these two parts is described below:

[0213] 1. Purchasers can configure the complimentary configuration information by performing configuration operations in the complimentary configuration interface.

[0214] Specifically, after the computer device displays the gift configuration interface on the screen, the purchaser can configure the gift configuration information for this gift. As mentioned above, the gift configuration information includes the message recipient and the target gift; the following describes an exemplary process for configuring these two types of gift configuration information in the gift configuration interface with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0215] (1) Configure the message publishing object in the gift configuration interface.

[0216] This application does not limit the specific implementation process of setting the message publishing object in the gift configuration interface; the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides two exemplary implementation methods for a purchaser to perform configuration operations to select a message publishing object in the gift configuration interface; wherein:

[0217] 1) Configure the message publishing object through the object selection component.

[0218] like Figure 9a As shown, the gift configuration interface includes an object selection component 901, which is used to trigger the configuration message publishing object. It is worth noting that the object selection component 901 can be represented as an icon or button, or as a display area; this embodiment does not limit the form of the object selection component 901. Furthermore, if the buyer wants to configure the message publishing object for this gift, the buyer can trigger the object selection component 901; the computer device (i.e., terminal 201) responds to the buyer's triggering operation on the object selection component 901 and displays the object selection interface 902. The object selection interface 902 includes at least one candidate receiving object, and the object type of the candidate receiving object can be the aforementioned social conversation or social public service; for example, the object type of candidate receiving object 9021 is a one-on-one chat conversation, the object type of candidate receiving object 9022 is a group chat conversation, and the object type of candidate receiving object 9023 is a social public service. Then, the buyer can perform an object selection operation in the object selection interface 902 according to their gift sharing needs. The object selection operation can be a click operation on one or more candidate receiving objects. In this way, the computer device determines the selected candidate receiving object as the message publishing object for receiving the gift notification message based on the object selection operation performed by the buyer in the object selection interface, and displays the selected message publishing object in the gift configuration interface. That is, the message publishing object is at least one of at least one candidate receiving object.

[0219] See also Figure 9a If the buyer performs an object selection operation on the candidate recipient 9021 corresponding to the one-on-one chat session, the buyer returns from the object selection interface 902 to the gift configuration interface, where the candidate recipient 9021 identified as the message sending object is displayed, allowing the buyer to re-select the chosen message sending object. It is worth noting that, in addition to supporting the direct selection of candidate recipients for one-on-one chat sessions as message sending objects, this embodiment also supports selecting a second account participating in a group chat session and using the one-on-one chat session between the first account and the second account (or, if the first account and the second account have not established a one-on-one chat session, a new one-on-one chat session is established directly between them) as the message sending object.

[0220] 2) Configure the message publishing object through the input device.

[0221] like Figure 9b As shown, the gift configuration interface includes an object selection area 903, which is used to receive the message publishing object input by the buyer. When the buyer performs a trigger operation on the object selection area 903, a cursor is displayed in the object selection area 903 to prompt the buyer to input information in the object selection area 903. In this case, the buyer can input the message publishing object in the gift configuration interface through an input device, specifically by inputting the message publishing object in the object selection area of ​​the gift configuration interface; correspondingly, the computer device receives the message publishing object input by the buyer through the input device. The input device can be a virtual input device invoked from the computer device (such as a virtual keyboard 904), or a physical input device connected to an external computer device (such as a physical external keyboard). Figure 9b (Not shown), this is not limited.

[0222] Based on the above two exemplary implementation processes for configuring message publishing objects, it should be noted that: ① The providers of the configured message publishing object and the order interface of the first account can be the same or different; specifically, the message publishing object and the order interface of the first account are provided by the same application (such as a client), or the message publishing object and the order interface of the second account are provided by different applications. When the message publishing object and the order interface of the first account are provided by the same application, gift giving within the same application can be realized. When the message publishing object and the order interface of the first account are provided by different applications, gift giving across applications (or simply cross-applications) can be realized. For ease of explanation, the following description will use gift giving within the same application as an example to illustrate the embodiments of this application. ② The embodiments of this application support providing the above two configuration methods for message publishing objects simultaneously in the gift configuration interface, that is, the object selection component 901 and the object selection area 903 can be displayed simultaneously in the gift configuration interface, so that the buyer can personalize the configuration of the message publishing object according to their own needs, thereby improving the buyer's object configuration experience.

[0223] (2) Configure the target gift in the gift configuration interface.

[0224] The target gift is the gift that the buyer selects from N gifts for this gift-giving event, intended for sharing with a friend. In this embodiment, the N gifts allocated to the first account can be of at least one type; that is, the N gifts may be of the same type, such as all N gifts being lipsticks of the same model and quantity, or the N gifts may be of different types, such as N=3, where two of the three gifts are lipsticks of the same model and quantity, and one gift is a hair tie.

[0225] In specific implementation, the gift configuration interface displays configuration sub-areas corresponding to each type of gift. Each configuration sub-area includes gift information (such as gift image, gift model, and gift price) and the quantity of the gift that can be gifted (i.e., the quantity of the gift in the pending gifting state). Thus, after the buyer configures the recipient of the good news message in the gift configuration interface, this embodiment also supports the buyer configuring a target gift for this gift, specifically configuring the gift type and quantity. In specific implementation, if the buyer performs a quantity configuration operation in the gift configuration interface, such as in the target configuration sub-area, the computer device responds to the quantity configuration operation by displaying the configured gifting quantity in the gift configuration interface. Specifically, the target configuration sub-area can display the gifting quantity set for the target gift; where the target configuration sub-area is the configuration sub-area corresponding to the selected target gift.

[0226] For example, a diagram illustrating how to configure the target gift in the gift-giving configuration interface can be found here. Figure 10a .like Figure 10a As shown, assuming N gifts belong to the same gift category, only one configuration sub-area 1001 is displayed in the gift configuration interface. This sub-area 1001 includes gift information (such as gift image 10011) and the gift quantity 10012. In this case, the default target gift is the gift displayed in configuration sub-area 1001, and the buyer directly sets the gift quantity in this sub-area 1001; alternatively, the gift configuration interface displays a quantity configuration item 1002, where the gift quantity is set.

[0227] like Figure 10b As shown, assuming N gifts belong to different gift categories, the gift configuration interface displays configuration sub-areas corresponding to each gift category, such as configuration sub-area 1003 and configuration sub-area 1004. Each configuration sub-area displays gift information for the corresponding gift category and the quantity that can be given. In this case, the buyer not only needs to select the target gift in the gift configuration interface but also needs to set the quantity to be given for that target gift. Specifically, when the buyer performs a selection operation on any configuration sub-area (such as configuration sub-area 1003), it indicates that the gift corresponding to the gift information displayed in that configuration sub-area is taken as the target gift. Then, the buyer continues to perform a quantity configuration operation to set the quantity to be given for the target gift; the method by which the buyer sets the quantity to be given is similar to... Figure 10a Similarly, the quantity to be given away can be set in the configuration sub-area 1003, or in the quantity configuration item 1002 displayed in the gift configuration interface.

[0228] In some cases, the number of gifts a buyer sets for a target gift in the gift configuration interface is related to the type of message recipients. For example, to help merchants attract more new customers, it can be set that each recipient can only receive one gift. Therefore, depending on the message recipients set by the buyer in the gift configuration interface, the buyer's configuration of the target gift, and even the interface style and content, will change. The following, with reference to the attached diagram, describes the process of configuring the target gift in the gift configuration interface when the number of gifts set is related to the type of message recipients; where:

[0229] 1) The message is sent to a one-on-one chat session.

[0230] When the message is sent to a one-on-one chat session, a diagram illustrating the configuration of the target gift when N gifts belong to the same gift category can be found here. Figure 10c .like Figure 10c As shown, the gift configuration interface displays a session identifier 1005 for the one-on-one chat session. This identifier 1005 can be an icon or nickname, etc., to prompt the buyer that the message recipient is a one-on-one chat session. Additionally, the gift configuration interface displays a configuration sub-area containing gift information. This sub-area may not display the number of gifts that can be gifted, to prompt the buyer that they will only gift one gift to a second account in the one-on-one chat session other than the first account, or it may display the gifting information and a quantity prompt 1006 to prompt the buyer that they will only gift one gift to a second account in the one-on-one chat session other than the first account. Figure 10c In the scenario shown, the buyer does not need to select the target gift and configure the quantity to be given in the gift configuration interface; they only need to configure the message publishing object in the gift configuration interface.

[0231] When the message is sent to a one-on-one chat session, a diagram illustrating the configuration of the target gift when N gifts belong to different gift types can be found here. Figure 10d .like Figure 10d As shown, the gift configuration interface displays the session identifier for the one-on-one chat session. Additionally, the gift configuration interface displays at least one configuration sub-area, each corresponding to a gift type; and... Figure 10c Similarly, each configuration sub-area may or may not include the giftable quantity, or it may include the giftable quantity, or it may include quantity information. Figure 10d In the scenario shown, the buyer needs to select any configuration sub-area in the gift configuration interface. At this time, the computer device will be the gift corresponding to the configuration sub-area selected by the buyer as the target gift.

[0232] 2) The message is sent to a group chat session or a public social service.

[0233] When the message is sent to a group chat or a public social service, a diagram illustrating the configuration of the target gift when N gifts belong to the same gift category can be found here. Figure 10e .like Figure 10e As shown, the gift configuration interface displays a group chat session identifier (1007), which can be an icon or nickname, to indicate to the buyer that the message recipient is a group chat session. Additionally, the gift configuration interface displays a sub-area containing gift information, which may include the number of gifts that can be gifted, helping the buyer clearly understand the number of gifts that can be gifted. Figure 10e In the scenario shown, the gift displayed in the configuration sub-area is used as the target gift by default. The buyer only needs to configure the quantity of the target gift in the gift configuration interface. For instructions on configuring the quantity in the gift configuration area, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 10a and Figure 10b The descriptions of the two methods shown are not repeated here. Furthermore, when the message recipient selected in the gift configuration interface is a group chat session, this embodiment also supports setting the method for receiving the target gift. This method includes, but is not limited to, receiving via group message (e.g., a second account participating in the group chat receives the gift on a first-come, first-served basis after sending) or receiving via lottery (e.g., a second account participating in the group chat receives the gift through a lottery after sending); Figure 10e As shown, when the buyer performs a trigger operation on the receiving method entry 1008, a receiving method selection window 1009 is output, so that the buyer can choose any receiving method from the receiving method selection window 1009 as the receiving method of the target gift for this gift, which increases the fun of sending gifts in groups.

[0234] When the message is sent to a group chat or a public social service, a diagram illustrating the configuration of the target gift when N gifts belong to different gift types can be found here. Figure 10f .like Figure 10f As shown, the gift configuration interface displays the session identifier of the group chat session. Additionally, the gift configuration interface displays at least one configuration sub-area, each corresponding to a gift type; and... Figure 10e Similarly, each configuration sub-area can include the number of gifts that can be given away, helping buyers intuitively understand the number of each gift that can be given away. Figure 10fIn the scenario shown, if the buyer performs a quantity configuration operation directly in any configuration sub-area, the gift displayed in that sub-area will be the target gift by default, and the quantity configured in that sub-area will be received as the gift quantity. If the buyer performs a quantity configuration operation in quantity configuration item 1002, the buyer needs to perform a selection operation (such as clicking any display position in that sub-area) in the gift configuration area. In this case, that sub-area will be selected, and the gift displayed in that selected sub-area will be selected as the target gift. The buyer will then receive the gift quantity set for that target gift in quantity configuration item 1002.

[0235] In summary, based on the above description Figures 10a-10f The gift-giving configuration interface allows you to configure the message recipient and target gift. However, the following points should be noted when configuring the message recipient and target gift:

[0236] Firstly, after the buyer sets the quantity of gifts for the target gift, if the computer device detects that the quantity configured by the buyer for the target gift is greater than the remaining quantity of gifts for that target gift, the computer device will display a quantity prompt message in the gift configuration interface. Here, the computer device can be a server or a terminal held by the buyer; when the computer device is a terminal held by the buyer, specifically, the detection between the gift quantity and the remaining quantity of gifts is performed by an application running on that terminal that implements the item processing method provided in this application embodiment. The remaining quantity of gifts for the target gift refers to the number of gifts in the N gifts that are yet to be given away; the quantity prompt message is used to indicate that the quantity configured for the target gift is greater than the number of target gifts in the N gifts that are yet to be given away. For example, if there are 3 target gifts in the N gifts that are yet to be given away, and the configured quantity for giving away these target gifts is 10, then the quantity prompt message will be output. Figure 11a As shown, assuming N=10, the 10 gifts include 3 target gifts, with one target gift already given and the other two pending. If the buyer configures a gift quantity of 3 for the target gift in the configuration interface, a quantity prompt message 1101 will be output. This message indicates that the set gift quantity exceeds the remaining gift quantity, allowing the buyer to intuitively understand that the set gift quantity is unavailable. It is worth noting that the display style and position of the quantity prompt message 1101 are not limited to... Figure 11a As shown.

[0237] Second point: The message sending target configured by the buyer in the gift configuration information interface is a one-on-one chat session, which includes a first account and a second account as participants. In this case, if the computer device (such as a server or the terminal held by the buyer (specifically, an application running on the terminal that can implement the item processing method provided in this application embodiment) detects that the second account meets the gift blocking conditions, it indicates that the first account cannot share the gift with the second account. The computer device will display a blocking prompt message in the gift configuration interface, which is used to prohibit gifting to the second account. Among them, the second account meeting the gift blocking conditions may include, but is not limited to: the first account has already shared the target gift with the second account, and the second account has successfully received the target gift; or, the second account has been marked as a restricted account by the merchant; or, the second account has reached the merchant's limit for the number of times it has received gifts within a certain period of time (such as receiving gifts 3 times within 1 month); etc. Figure 11b As shown, assuming the buyer configures a one-on-one chat session, if the computer device detects that the second account in the one-on-one chat session meets the gift-giving interception conditions, it will output interception prompt message 1102 so that the buyer can promptly realize that the second account cannot share gifts and thus switch the message sending target.

[0238] Thirdly: The purchaser configures the message sending target in the gift configuration information interface to be a one-on-one chat session, which includes a first account and a second account as participants. In this case, if the computer device (such as a server or the purchaser's terminal (specifically, an application running on the terminal that can implement the item processing method provided in this application embodiment) detects that the second account was gifted a gift in a historical time period, and the gift was not successfully claimed by the second account in that historical time period (i.e., the valid time for claiming the gift after the historical sharing has expired) (e.g., only confirming the receipt of the gift notification message (e.g., clicking the gift notification message), but not filling in the delivery address), then the computer device displays a duplicate gifting prompt in the gift configuration interface. This duplicate gifting prompt is used to indicate that the second account did not claim the gift in the historical time period, and the second account has the permission to be gifted again. In this way, even if the second account fails to claim the gift, it can help the purchaser share the gift to the second account multiple times until the second account successfully claims the gift, thus enhancing the social interaction between the first and second accounts. Figure 11c As shown, assuming that after the buyer configures a one-on-one chat session, the computer device detects that the second account in the one-on-one chat session has been given a gift in the previous two days, and after the gift was shared to the second account in the previous two days, the second account did not claim the gift within the valid claim period after the sharing time (i.e. the gift is automatically returned to the first account's gift inventory), then the interception prompt message 1103 is output so that the buyer can share the gift to the second account again.

[0239] 2. In response to the configuration operation, the computer device sends a gift notification message to the message recipient.

[0240] In specific implementation, after the computer device detects that the buyer has configured the recipient and target gift in the gift configuration interface, the computer device, in response to the buyer's configuration operation of entering gift configuration information in the gift configuration interface, will send a gift notification message to the message recipient in the gift configuration information and display the social interface associated with the message recipient. This is to display the gift notification message in the social interface to inform the buyer that the target gift has been successfully shared to the message recipient and is awaiting collection by a second account. Considering that the buyer may not want to switch to the social interface associated with the message recipient after configuring the gift configuration information, but may want to remain in the gift configuration interface to continue sharing gifts, this embodiment of the application also supports outputting or displaying a prompt message before displaying the social interface associated with the message recipient on the computer device. This prompt message is used to inform the buyer that they are about to switch to the social interface associated with the message recipient. If the buyer confirms the notification, the computer device will display the social interface associated with the message recipient in response to the confirmation. If the buyer cancels the notification, the computer device will continue to display the gift configuration interface, allowing the buyer to continue configuring the gift information for the next round of gift giving.

[0241] A schematic diagram of an exemplary prompt message can be seen. Figure 12 ;like Figure 12 The gift configuration interface shown includes a gift confirmation option 1201. When the buyer configures the gift notification message in the gift configuration interface and triggers the gift confirmation option 1201, the computer device generates the gift notification message and sends it to the message recipient. At this time, the computer device outputs a prompt message 1202, which can be displayed as a floating window on the gift configuration interface. This prompt message 1202 includes a confirmation option 1203 and a cancellation option 1204. When the confirmation option 1203 is triggered, the computer device displays the social interface associated with the message recipient; when the cancellation option 1204 is triggered, the computer device continues to display the gift configuration interface, and the gift configuration information already configured in the gift configuration interface can be deleted, so that the buyer can quickly configure the gift configuration information for a new round of gift sharing.

[0242] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the message delivery target configured by the purchaser can be a social conversation or a social public service. Depending on the message delivery target, the social interface associated with the message delivery target displayed on the computer device, and the display method of the gift notification message within the social interface, will also differ. The following describes the process of displaying the gift notification message in the social interface associated with the message delivery target when the message delivery target is a social conversation or a social public service; where:

[0243] (1) The message is sent to a social conversation.

[0244] When the message is sent to a social conversation, the social interface associated with the message sending object is the conversation interface of the social conversation. The specific way a computer device displays a gift notification message in the social interface is as follows: the gift notification message is displayed as a conversation message in the conversation interface of the social conversation; wherein, the conversation interface is either a one-on-one chat interface associated with a one-on-one chat session, or a group chat interface associated with a group chat session. The display format of the conversation message may include, but is not limited to, message bubbles, cards, and links; this application embodiment does not limit the specific conversation message format in which the gift notification message is displayed in the conversation interface.

[0245] like Figure 13a As shown in (1), assuming the message is sent to a one-on-one chat session. When the gift confirmation option in the gift configuration interface is triggered, the chat interface associated with the one-on-one chat session is displayed. This chat interface can display the chat message streams sent by the first account and the second account within a historical time period (including at least one chat message arranged in chronological order of publication time). In this chat interface, a new chat message 1301 is published by the first account as the sender. This chat message 1301 is the gift notification message. Figure 13a As shown in (2), it is assumed that the message is sent to a group chat session. When the gift confirmation option in the gift configuration interface is triggered, the session interface associated with the group chat session is displayed. This session interface can display the session message stream sent by at least one member (including the first account and multiple second accounts) in the group chat session within the historical time. In this session interface, a new session message 1301 is sent by the first account. This session message 1301 is the gift notification message.

[0246] Therefore, the embodiments of this application support gift sharing by converting gift giving into conversational messages in social conversations, which enhances the social gamification of gift giving and also helps to enhance the social interaction between different users.

[0247] (2) The message is sent to social public services.

[0248] When the message is sent to a social public service, the associated social interface is the social public service interface of that social public service. The specific way a computer device displays the gift notification message in the social interface is as follows: the gift notification message is displayed as a social public message in the social public service interface associated with the social public service; this social public message can be understood as a status update or post, etc., and is a message that can be seen by a second account accessing that social public service interface. By displaying the gift notification message as a social public message in the social public service interface, the sharing scenarios for gift sharing can be expanded, the richness of gift sharing gameplay can be increased, and thus the user experience of participating in gift-giving activities can be improved.

[0249] like Figure 13b As shown, assume the message recipient is a social public service. When the gift confirmation option in the gift configuration interface is triggered, the social public service interface associated with the social public service is displayed. This social public service interface can display social public message streams (composed of multiple message streams arranged in chronological order of publication) sent by at least one second account within a historical time period. In this social public service interface, a new social public service message 1302 is published by the first account as the sender. This social public service message 1302 is the gift notification message.

[0250] In summary, on the one hand, this application provides a gift configuration interface for purchasers to configure gift information. This not only offers the advantage of simple configuration but also allows for direct sharing of free gifts from merchants with friends, reducing the financial burden on purchasers who spend electronic resources on gifts. Furthermore, the gift-sharing method based on gift notification messages enhances the convenience and efficiency of social interaction between purchasers and friends. On the other hand, by entrusting merchants to distribute gifts to friends, purchasers establish a communication channel between friends and merchants, facilitating direct purchases from merchants by friends. This increases the likelihood of recipients becoming new customers, thereby achieving gift dissemination based on social relationships and potentially increasing the merchant's customer base.

[0251] Please see Figure 14 , Figure 14 A flowchart illustrating another article processing method provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 14 The item processing method shown is executed by computer equipment, specifically by... Figure 2 The system shown executes at least one of the terminal 201 held by the purchaser and the server 204; the item processing method includes, but is not limited to, steps S1401-S1404:

[0252] S1401: Displays the order interface for the first account.

[0253] It should be noted that the specific implementation process shown in step S1401 and Figure 3 The specific implementation process shown in step S301 in the illustrated embodiment is the same. Please refer to the relevant description of the specific implementation process shown in step S301, which will not be repeated here.

[0254] It should also be noted that the order interface of the first account includes item orders for the target item. This application embodiment does not limit the method by which the buyer creates item orders for the target item. For example, the buyer... Figure 15a The live stream interface shown allows users to purchase a target item and create an order for it. Before creating an order, buyers can also view gift information about the gifts they will receive for purchasing the target item. Alternatively, buyers can directly access or view the live stream through social conversations, advertisements in social public service interfaces, or in-app stores. Figure 15b The target item is shown in an item browsing interface 1501. This interface includes item information for the target item and a gift viewing component 1502. This component is used to trigger a view of the information for N gifts obtainable by purchasing the target item. In response to the buyer's triggering of the gift viewing component 1502, the computer device outputs a gift details window 1503, which includes gift information for each of the N gifts associated with the target item. Therefore, allowing buyers to view the gift information of the N gifts associated with the target item before purchasing it helps them better decide whether to buy it. Similarly, the attractiveness of the N gifts can, to some extent, stimulate the buyer's desire to place an order for the target item.

[0255] S1402: In response to the trigger operation of the gift-giving entry, display the gift-giving configuration interface.

[0256] S1403: In response to the configuration operation in the gift configuration interface, send a gift notification message to the message publishing object.

[0257] It should be noted that the specific implementation process shown in steps S1402-S1403 is the same as that described above. Figure 3 The specific implementation process shown in steps S302-S303 in the illustrated embodiment is the same. Please refer to the relevant description of the specific implementation process shown in steps S302-S303, which will not be repeated here.

[0258] It should also be noted that, in response to the configuration operation in the gift configuration interface, the computer device will also create a target gift order for this gift gifting based on the gift configuration information configured in the configuration operation. This target gift order may also be referred to as the target gift order. The target gift order includes gift information of the target gift, order creation time, order number, and other order-related information. In this embodiment, the order of creation of the target gift order and the sending of the gift notification message to the message recipient by the computer device are not limited. For example, the computer device may create the target gift order and send the gift notification message to the message recipient simultaneously; or, the computer device may create the target gift order first and then send the gift notification message to the message recipient; or, the computer device may send the gift notification message to the message recipient first and then create the target gift order.

[0259] Furthermore, after sending the gift notification message to the message recipient—specifically, after displaying the gift notification message in the social interface associated with the message recipient—this embodiment of the application also allows the buyer to view the receipt status of the target gift by triggering the gift notification message, improving the buyer's flexibility in understanding the status of the target gift. For example, when the quantity of the target gift is 1, a schematic diagram illustrating how the buyer can view the receipt status through the gift configuration information can be found here. Figure 16a The chat interface for a one-on-one conversation displays a gift notification message sent by the first account. When the buyer triggers an action based on this notification message, a viewing interface is displayed, showing the progress of the gift claim. The progress information displayed on the viewing interface differs depending on the second account's claim to the gift in the one-on-one conversation. Further details regarding the progress information will be provided later. Figure 17 Related description. For example, if the target gift quantity is 1, a diagram illustrating how the buyer can view the redemption status through the gift configuration information can be found here. Figure 16b The group chat interface displays a gift notification message sent by the first account. When a buyer triggers an action on this notification, a viewing interface appears, showing the claiming progress of at least two target gifts for a second account participating in the group chat. The claiming progress information displayed varies depending on the second account's claiming of the target gifts; more details on claiming progress information will be provided later. Figure 17 Related descriptions.

[0260] S1404: Display the order center interface of the first account, and display the real-time progress information of the target gift collection in the target gift collection order in the order center interface.

[0261] As described in step S301 above regarding the order center interface of the first account, the order center interface is used to display a list of orders related to the first account. The orders in this list include, but are not limited to: ① Orders created by the first account, such as an item order created when a buyer purchases a target item through the first account. ② Gift collection orders created when the first account receives a gift, where the gift is shared to the first account by another account (other than the first account) using the item processing method provided in this application embodiment via a gift notification message, and the first account receives it through this gift notification message. ③ Gift orders created when the first account shares N gifts associated with the target item, specifically including M gift orders related to the target item purchased by the first account; a gift order is an order created based on a gift configuration information configured by the first account once, and the M gift orders include the target gift order for the target gift, where M is a positive integer and 1 ≤ M ≤ N.

[0262] For example, a diagram illustrating the three types of orders included in the order center interface of the first account can be found here. Figure 17 ;like Figure 17 As shown, the order center interface displays the target gift order 1701, item order 1702, and collection order 1703 in ascending order of order creation time. Considering that both target gift order 1701 and collection order 1703 are gift-related orders, this embodiment supports real-time display of the collection progress information for the corresponding gifts in the gift orders (such as target gift order 1701 and collection order 1703) to facilitate real-time tracking of gift collection or delivery status for buyers. This collection progress information describes the collection progress of the corresponding gifts by the second account. For details regarding the collection progress, please refer to the aforementioned description, which will not be repeated here.

[0263] It is worth noting that the collection progress information described varies depending on the sender of the gift in the gift order. For example, the target gift order 1701 on the buyer's side is established when the gift notification message is sent to the message recipient. Therefore, the collection progress information of the target gift displayed in target gift order 1701 is used to characterize the collection progress of the target gift from the time it is sent by the buyer in the form of a gift notification message to the time it is received by the recipient (if the target gift is a physical gift, "received" means that the physical gift has been signed for by the recipient). Therefore, the collection progress information may describe at least one of the following: pending collection, pending filling in the delivery address, pending shipment, pending receipt, signed for, or returned. Figure 17As shown, the real-time display of the target gift collection progress information 1704 in the target gift order 1701 indicates that the collection progress of one gift shared by the buyer is pending collection.

[0264] For example, order 1703 on the buyer's side is created only after the buyer successfully claims a gift shared by another user (e.g., a shipping address has been filled in), and is displayed in the order center interface. Therefore, the gift claiming progress information displayed in order 1703 represents the gift's claiming progress throughout its lifecycle, from successful claim by the buyer to receipt by the recipient. Thus, the claiming progress information may describe at least one of the following: pending shipment, pending receipt, signed for, or returned. Figure 17 The gift collection progress information displayed in order 1703 indicates that the collected gift is awaiting shipment.

[0265] Therefore, the embodiments of this application display the gift collection progress information in real time in the gift order in the order center interface. This not only makes it convenient for buyers to quickly understand the gift collection progress directly from the order center interface, but also improves the buyer's perception of the gift collection status.

[0266] This application embodiment also supports buyers viewing the order details of target gift orders from the order center interface, which helps buyers understand the order details and improves the flexibility of order management. Specifically, in response to a buyer's viewing operation of a target gift order in the order center interface, the computer device displays the gift details interface of the target gift order. This gift details interface displays order information related to the target gift order, including but not limited to the gift information of the target gift, order creation time, order number, and target gift collection progress information. It is worth noting that the gift details interface of the target gift order varies depending on the number of target gifts included in the order. For ease of explanation, taking the example that only one target gift can be shared when the target gift order is shared to a one-on-one chat session, while at least one target gift can be shared when the target gift order is shared to a group chat session or social public service, the order details interface of the target gift order with different quantities of target gifts will be described below; wherein:

[0267] 1) The quantity of the target gift in the target gift order is 1.

[0268] See Figure 17When the quantity of the target gift in a target gift order is 1, it means that only one second account can receive the target gift (e.g., when the target gift order is shared to a one-on-one chat session, only the second account other than the first account can receive it; when the target gift order is shared to a group chat session, only one second account other than the first account in the group chat session can receive it). Therefore, the receiving progress information can be directly displayed on the order details page 1706 of the target gift order. When the receiving progress information indicates that the item is pending shipment, the account information (such as the account nickname) of the second account that received the target gift can be displayed on the order details page 1706, which can help the buyer understand the receiving status of the target gift (such as the receiving progress).

[0269] 2) The number of target gifts in the target gift order must be at least two.

[0270] See Figure 18 When the number of target gifts in a target gift order is at least two, it indicates that at least two second accounts can receive the target gifts. In this case, to facilitate the buyer's viewing of the receipt status of each target gift, this embodiment of the application supports the buyer displaying a gift viewing entry 1801 in the order details interface of the target gift order for viewing the receipt status of at least two target gifts. If the gift viewing entry 1801 displays receipt progress information, that is, the display area occupied by the gift viewing entry 1801 and the receipt progress information is the same. The computer device responds to the buyer's trigger operation on the gift viewing entry 1801 and displays the gift order interface 1802. The gift order interface 1802 includes: a sub-gift order corresponding to each of the at least two target gifts that has been claimed, which is the receipt order on the recipient's side of the target gift. For example, the gift order interface 1802 includes sub-gift orders 18021 and 18022, etc. Each sub-gift order displays the redemption status of the corresponding target gift, such as the redemption progress information of the target gift, the account information of the recipient of the target gift, and an order number viewing entry (used to view the order number of the sub-gift order). Furthermore, if there are unclaimed target gifts among at least two target gifts in a target gift order, this embodiment of the application also supports displaying the quantity 1803 of unclaimed target gifts in the gift order interface 1802, so that the buyer can easily understand the redemption status of at least two target gifts.

[0271] Furthermore, when the main product undergoes after-sales service, the related promotional items will be affected. For example... Figure 19As shown, the order interface of the first account (such as the order details interface) includes an after-sales option 1901. If this after-sales option 1901 is triggered, an after-sales prompt window 1902 is output, which displays after-sales prompt information 1903 regarding the item order. For example, if an item order includes 3 target gifts, and 2 gifts have been distributed to two second accounts, with 1 gift still pending shipment, then the pending shipment gift needs to be returned to the merchant, while the 2 distributed gifts remain valid. In this case, after-sales prompt information 1903 could be: One gift needs to be returned. It should be understood that the specific content of the after-sales prompt information varies depending on the receipt progress of each target gift at the time of the after-sales event, which is explained here.

[0272] In summary, this application's embodiment, based on a gift-sharing method using gift notification messages, enhances the convenience and efficiency of gift sharing between buyers and friends; furthermore, it establishes a communication channel between friends and merchants, facilitating friends to directly purchase items from merchants, increasing the likelihood of recipients becoming new customers, thereby achieving gift dissemination based on social relationships and potentially increasing the merchant's customer base. Furthermore, this application's embodiment also supports order management for gift orders, allowing buyers to manage each gift order and enhancing the autonomy and flexibility of order management.

[0273] Please see Figure 20 , Figure 20 A flowchart illustrating another article processing method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 20 The item processing method shown is executed by computer equipment, specifically by... Figure 2 The system shown executes at least one of the receiver's terminal 202 and server 204, wherein a second account representing the receiver is logged in on the terminal 202; the item processing method includes, but is not limited to, steps S2001-S2003:

[0274] S2001: Displays the social interface associated with the message recipient.

[0275] The social interface associated with the message sender displayed on the recipient's side and the social interface associated with the message sender displayed on the purchaser's side are either the same social session's interface or the same social public service's interface. For example, if the purchaser configures the message sender to a social session, both the recipient and the purchaser can view the gift notification message in the session interface of that social session; similarly, if the purchaser configures the message sender to a social public service, both the recipient and the purchaser can view the gift notification message in the social public service's interface.

[0276] S2002: In response to a notification message sent in the social interface, display the gift collection interface.

[0277] S2003: Display the gift collection progress information based on the gift collection operation in the gift collection interface.

[0278] In steps S2002-S2003, if a second account accessing the message-publishing object wants to claim the target gift shared by the first account, the recipient corresponding to the second account can trigger an operation on the gift notification message in the social interface associated with the message-publishing object to confirm claiming the gift notification message, specifically, to claim the target gift corresponding to the gift notification message. Further, the computer device displays a gift claiming interface based on this triggering operation; this interface includes gift information for the target gift to be claimed and a claim confirmation option. If the target gift is a physical gift, the interface also includes an address setting field for entering the recipient's shipping address. Thus, the recipient can perform a gift claiming operation on the interface, including triggering the claim confirmation option and setting the shipping address in the address setting field. Accordingly, the computer device creates a gift collection order for the recipient based on the gift collection operation performed by the recipient on the gift collection interface and displays collection progress information, indicating that the target gift has been successfully collected; if a delivery address is filled in on the gift collection interface, the collection progress information also indicates that the target gift has been successfully collected and is waiting for the merchant to ship it.

[0279] In addition, when a recipient triggers a gift notification message in the social interface, if the computer device detects that the recipient does not have the permission to receive the target gift, it will display a corresponding prompt message to help the recipient understand why they cannot receive the target gift. For example, reasons why a recipient does not have the permission to receive the target gift may include, but are not limited to: the target gift has already been claimed, the target gift has already been claimed by the recipient (allowing the recipient to claim it would result in duplicate claiming), or, due to certain reasons (such as the buyer initiating after-sales service for the main product, or the target gift being limited to a second account that has established a friend relationship with the first account), all undelivered target gifts sent by the buyer are prohibited from being claimed, etc.

[0280] Taking a physical gift as an example, and the message being sent to a group chat, the following example is illustrated with the appendix. Figure 21 The process of the recipient claiming the desired gift on the gift claiming interface is described. For example... Figure 21As shown, the group chat interface displays a gift notification message from the first account. Specifically: ① If there are still unclaimed target gifts in the gift notification message, the computer device, in response to the notification message, outputs a gift claim interface 2101. The recipient can set their shipping address in the address settings 2102 of this interface and then trigger the claim confirmation option 2103. At this point, the computer device determines that the recipient has completed the gift claim operation for the target gift, and outputs a claim result interface 2104, displaying the claim progress information. Furthermore, after the recipient claims the target gift, a claim notification 21041 is displayed in the social interface to remind the recipient that the target gift has been claimed, preventing the recipient from claiming the target gift again and wasting time. ② If all target gifts in the gift notification message have been claimed, the computer device, in response to the notification message, outputs a first claim prompt message 2105, which indicates that all target gifts have been claimed. Even if all the target gifts have been claimed, this embodiment of the application also supports the recipient to view the claims of each second account, and even the claiming progress of the target gifts by the second claiming notification information 2105; such as Figure 21 The computer device, in response to the recipient's triggering operation of the second claim prompt message 2105, outputs a claim details interface 21051, which includes information such as the second accounts claiming the target gift and the claim progress. ③ If the target gift in the gift notification message may be claimed repeatedly by the recipient, the computer device, in response to the triggering of the gift notification message, outputs a second claim prompt message 2106, which is used to inform the recipient that the target gift has already been claimed. ④ If, when the gift notification message is triggered by the recipient, the computer device detects that the buyer has initiated after-sales service for the main product, the computer device, in response to the triggering of the gift notification message, outputs a third claim prompt message 2107, which is used to inform the recipient that the target gift cannot be claimed due to reasons attributable to the buyer.

[0281] Furthermore, embodiments of this application also support the recipient viewing the gift details before claiming the gift, so that the recipient can claim the gift only after confirming that they want to claim it, avoiding accidental operation. For example... Figure 22As shown, taking a social conversation as an example, when a gift notification message is triggered in the conversation interface of a social conversation, a gift claiming interface is displayed. This gift claiming interface includes gift information of the target gift to be claimed, such as a gift identifier 2201 used to uniquely identify the target gift. The recipient can perform a trigger operation on the gift information (such as gift identifier 2201) displayed in the gift claiming interface. At this time, the computer device displays a details interface 2202 of the target gift. The recipient can view detailed information of the target gift in the details interface 2201, such as the original price and model of the target gift. To facilitate the recipient in claiming the target gift, this embodiment of the application also supports the recipient to directly perform a confirmation operation in the details interface 2202 of the target gift to claim the target gift; for example, the details interface 2202 includes a claiming component 2203. When the claiming component 2203 is clicked, the recipient successfully claims the target gift. If the target gift is a physical gift, the recipient continues to fill in the delivery address to confirm that the recipient has actually received the target gift.

[0282] This application embodiment also supports sending an order cancellation notification to the recipient when the main product has been sold and the target gift has been claimed. This order cancellation notification indicates that the claim order created when the recipient claimed the target gift has been cancelled or revoked due to the main product's after-sales service; this helps the recipient track the order status of the claim order in a timely manner. Figure 23 As shown, when an order is cancelled, a notification interface 2301 is displayed, and an order cancellation notification 2302 is output in the notification interface 2301.

[0283] This application's embodiments also support establishing relationships between recipients and merchants (e.g., recipients following a merchant's store), successfully establishing new customer (i.e., recipient)-merchant relationships, helping merchants convert more customers, and improving customer conversion rates through gift sharing. Figure 24 As shown, an association entry 2401 is set in the order details interface for receiving an order. When the association entry 2401 is triggered, an association window 2402 is output. The recipient can authorize a second account to establish a relationship with the merchant in the association window 2402, such as authorizing the second account to follow the merchant. After the recipient successfully establishes a relationship with the merchant in the association window 2402, an authorization prompt 2403 is output. This authorization prompt 2403 is used to indicate that a relationship has been successfully established with the merchant, such as a follow relationship or a membership relationship.

[0284] In summary, the embodiments of this application support recipients in actively establishing relationships with merchants, thereby enabling the dissemination of free gifts (samples) based on social relationships and achieving the conversion of new customers into interested buyers. The so-called conversion refers to the process by which a recipient, after receiving a free gift, establishes a relationship with the merchant to facilitate purchasing goods from the merchant; that is, the recipient becomes a customer of the merchant.

[0285] The foregoing Figure 3 and Figure 14 The example primarily describes the item processing method and flow from the perspective of the buyer's interface. Figure 21 The example mainly describes the item processing method flow on the receiver side from the interface perspective. The following section will combine... Figure 25 This section describes the backend interaction logic between gift-giving and gift-receiving during the process of giving gifts to friends; such as... Figure 25 As shown, this interaction logic may involve the following parties: the buyer (giver), the recipient (other than the giver), the order service, the item service, the gift list service, and the gift service; these services can be provided by... Figure 2 The system shown uses server 204, or is executed jointly by multiple servers in a distributed service. Specifically, the order service primarily implements functions such as order creation and management; the item service primarily implements item-related functions, such as inventory management of main items and gifts; the gift list service primarily implements functions related to the target gift, such as gift order creation and management; and the gift service primarily implements gift-related functions, such as managing the number of gifts that can be given. The backend interaction logic between gift giving and receiving may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0286] s1: The gift-giving side executes the target item purchase operation for the target item. The target item purchase operation refers to a series of actions performed by the buyer to place an order for the main item; after the buyer places an order for the main item, the order service responds by creating an item order for the target item in response to this purchase operation.

[0287] S2: The order service accesses the gift service to check if the target item is associated with any gifts. After creating an order for the target item, the order service sends a notification message to the gift service, requesting a result indicating whether the target item is associated with any gifts. The result returned by the gift service includes: the target item is associated with N gifts, meaning the target item participates in the gift-giving activity; or, the target item is not associated with N gifts, meaning the target item does not participate in the gift-giving activity.

[0288] s3: If the target item is associated with N gifts, the order service will notify the item service to deduct the main item inventory and the gift inventory. Specifically, if the target item is associated with N gifts, the order service will notify the item service to deduct the quantity of the item purchased by the buyer from the target item's inventory, and to deduct the inventory of the N gifts associated with the target item from the target gift's inventory, so as to achieve real-time inventory updates and thus ensure efficient inventory management for merchants.

[0289] S4: The order service also notifies the gift service to initialize N gifts. Initializing N gifts means preparing the gifts (such as obtaining and formatting the gift information) so that the prepared gifts can be pushed to the gift-giving side for gift sharing.

[0290] s5: The order service returns N gifts to the gift-giver. Specifically, after initializing N gifts, the order service can push N gifts to the gift-giver when the gift-giver pays for the main item and requests to receive N gifts (as mentioned above, by clicking the gift-giving entry).

[0291] s6: The gift-giving side performs a gift-sharing operation. This gift-sharing operation includes... Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the purchaser configures gift notification messages and other operations in the gift configuration interface.

[0292] s7: The Gift List Service, based on the gift-sharing operation performed by the giver, checks the relationship between the quantity of the target gift given and the remaining quantity of gifts through the Gift Service. If the quantity given is less than or equal to the remaining quantity of gifts, it deducts from the gift inventory. Specifically, the Gift List Service compares the quantity of the target gift given in the giveaway configuration information set by the buyer with the remaining quantity of N gifts (i.e., the number of gifts in the N gifts that are awaiting giving) to ensure that the quantity set by the buyer is valid. When the quantity given is less than or equal to the remaining quantity of gifts, the quantity of the N gifts is updated by deducting the quantity of the target gift selected for this gift-giving from the remaining quantity of the N gifts.

[0293] S8: When the gift order service receives a notification from the gift service that the number of gifts to be given is less than or equal to the number of remaining gifts, it creates and pushes a gift order for the target gift. This gift order is then sent to the buyer for their management.

[0294] S9: After creating a gift order, the gift order service will publish a gift notification message to the message recipients so that the second account can view the gift notification message in the message recipients.

[0295] s10: The gift recipient executes the claim operation for the target gift in response to the gift notification message. The claim operation is as follows: Figure 20 The example shown illustrates the triggering operation performed by the recipient on the gift notification message.

[0296] S11: The gift list service notifies the second account performing the gift claim operation whether it meets the gift claim rules. The gift claim rules correspond to the aforementioned... Figure 20The embodiments described herein depict various scenarios in which a recipient has the right to claim a target gift, each scenario corresponding to a gift claiming rule. For example, gift claiming rules include: the recipient has not claimed the target gift shared by the buyer, the target gift has not been claimed completely, the gift giver has not initiated after-sales service for the main product, etc.

[0297] s12: If the second account does not meet the gift redemption rules, the gift order service will notify the gift service to adjust the number of gifts the second account can redeem. Specifically, if each second account is only allowed to redeem one gift from N gifts, adjusting the number of gifts the second account can redeem includes changing the number of gifts that can redeem from 1 to 0.

[0298] s13: The gift list service notifies the recipient that the target gift has been successfully received.

[0299] It should be noted that steps s1-s13 are an exemplary description of the overall interaction logic between gift giving and receiving; other interaction logic included in the gift giving and receiving process is also provided by [the relevant authority / organization]. Figure 25 The interactions between the parties shown (such as the order service, item service, gift service, and gift list service) are executed. For example, if the gift service detects in step s11 that the second account performing the claim operation does not meet the gift claim rules, then the subsequent steps s12 and s13 are not executed. Instead, the gift list notifies the recipient of the reason why the target gift cannot be claimed.

[0300] Please see Figure 26 , Figure 26 A flowchart illustrating another article processing method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown; Figure 26 The item processing method shown is executed by computer equipment, specifically by... Figure 2 At least one of the merchant-side terminal 203 and server 204 in the system shown is executed; the terminal 203 is logged with a delivery account for distributing target items and gifts, which refers to the merchant's account for logging into the gift-giving tool; the item processing method includes, but is not limited to, steps S2601-S2602:

[0301] S2601: Display the order management interface.

[0302] S2602: In response to a triggered operation on the target gift order, display the order management details interface for the target gift order.

[0303] In steps S2601-S2602, this application embodiment supports merchants in order management; wherein, order management mainly manages the following orders: item orders created when a buyer purchases a target item, gift orders created when a buyer shares a target gift associated with the target item, and collection orders created when a recipient collects a target gift shared by a buyer.

[0304] Specifically, when a merchant needs to manage orders, they can trigger and display an order management interface on the computer device. This interface includes the item order for the target item and M gift orders related to the target item; among these, the M gift orders include the target gift order for the target gift. It is worth noting that the relevant details regarding the M gift orders can be found in the description of the M gift orders in step S1404 above, and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, when a merchant needs to manage any order (such as a target gift order), they can trigger an operation on that target gift order within the order management interface. In response to the merchant's trigger operation on the target gift order, the computer device displays the order management details interface for that target gift order. This interface displays order information related to the target gift order, including but not limited to: gift information for the target gift, order creation time, order number, logistics information, buyer information, and recipient information.

[0305] Considering that the number of target gifts in a target gift order may be one or more, when the number of gifts is multiple, each second account that receives the target gift will have a claim order created. To improve the aesthetics and simplicity of the order management details interface, the interface style and content of the order management details interface for a target gift order when the number of target gifts is one and the order management details interface for a target gift order when the number of target gifts is multiple will differ in this embodiment. The following are schematic diagrams of the order management details interfaces corresponding to different gift quantities, with reference to the accompanying drawings; wherein:

[0306] (1) The number of target gifts in the target gift order is one.

[0307] like Figure 27As shown, suppose a target gift order containing only one target gift is shared to a one-on-one chat session. In this case, when the target gift order 2701 is included in the order management interface, if the merchant wants to view the target gift order 2701, the merchant performs a trigger operation on the target gift order 2701. The computer device responds to this trigger operation and displays the order management details interface 2702 corresponding to the target gift order 2701; this order management details interface includes the target gift claiming progress information 2703 for the second account (excluding the first account) in the one-on-one chat session, the second account's claiming information 2704, the target gift's gift information 2705, etc.

[0308] (2) The number of target gifts in the target gift order is at least two.

[0309] like Figure 28a As shown, suppose a target gift order containing multiple target gifts is shared to a group chat or social public service, and each secondary account is set to receive only one target gift. In this case, the target gift order 2801 is included in the order management interface; when the target gift order 2801 is triggered, the computer device displays the order management details interface 2802 corresponding to the target gift order 2801; the order management details interface 2802 includes the first account's receipt information 2803, the target gift's gift information 2804, and the receipt progress information 2805 for multiple target gifts.

[0310] If at least two of the target gifts in a target gift order have been claimed, and the merchant wants to see more claim orders for those target gifts, the merchant can use the gift viewing function in the order management details interface to trigger the display of the claim orders for the claimed target gifts from the at least two target gifts; the number of claimed target gifts may be one or more. For example... Figure 28b As shown, if the number of target gifts in a target gift order is at least two, a sub-order viewing component 2806 will be displayed in the order management details interface corresponding to the target gift order. When at least one of the two target gifts has been claimed, the sub-order viewing component 2806 is in an optional state. When the optional sub-order viewing component 2806 is triggered, the order claiming interface 2807 is displayed. This order claiming interface 2807 displays the claiming orders corresponding to each claimed target gift, such as claiming order 28071 and claiming order 28072, etc.

[0311] Therefore, regardless of whether the number of target gifts included in the target gift order is one or more, the embodiments of this application support the merchant side to manage the item orders and gift orders on the buyer side, as well as the collection orders on the recipient side, to help merchants better manage orders and enrich the order management permissions on the merchant side.

[0312] In addition to supporting merchants in order management through steps S2601 and S2602, this embodiment also supports merchants in configuring gift-giving activities and managing the activity data (such as statistics, viewing, and analysis) of gift-giving activities. This not only helps merchants create personalized gift-giving activities to meet their diverse activity needs, but also allows them to manage the activity data, enabling them to better configure gift-giving activities and achieve a virtuous cycle of gift-giving results. The processes of configuring gift-giving activities and managing the activity data are described below; wherein:

[0313] (1) Configure gift-giving activities.

[0314] Specifically, when a merchant wants to create a gift-giving campaign, they can use a computer device to invoke or trigger the campaign creation interface through a gift-giving tool (such as a client with gift-giving capabilities). This interface includes an campaign settings area and a gift settings area. The campaign settings area is mainly used to configure the campaign details, which include the item information of the target item (i.e., the main item). The gift settings area is mainly used to configure the gift-giving rules associated with the main item. The gift-giving rules describe the rules for giving away the N gifts (i.e., selected gifts) associated with the target item after the first account executes the target item order. For example, the gift-giving rules may include the aforementioned rule that each second account is only allowed to receive one gift, and that each gift includes at least one other gift.

[0315] A schematic diagram of an exemplary activity creation interface can be seen. Figure 29 ;like Figure 29As shown, the activity creation interface 2901 includes an activity settings area 2902 and a gift settings area 2903. Merchants perform activity settings operations in the activity settings area 2902, which includes triggering an action on the item addition entry 29021. When the item addition entry 29021 is triggered, an item addition window 29022 is displayed, which includes multiple items. This embodiment supports merchants configuring target items for gift-giving activities in the item addition window 29022. This embodiment also supports merchants selecting multiple items as target items, thereby enabling batch creation of gift-giving activities, with one target item corresponding to one gift-giving activity, improving the efficiency of gift-giving activity creation. Similarly, the merchant performs a gift setting operation in the gift setting area 2903, which includes triggering the gift addition entry 29031. When the gift addition entry 29031 is triggered, a gift addition window 29032 is displayed, which includes multiple gifts that can be selected as gifts. The merchant can select at least one gift from the gift addition window 29032 as a gift associated with the target item. After the above configuration operation, the item information of the target item configured based on the activity setting operation is displayed in the activity setting area 2902 of the activity creation interface 2901, and the gift setting area 2903 displays the gifting rule information configured based on the gift setting operation, which includes the gift information of the selected gift.

[0316] Furthermore, such as Figure 29 As shown, merchants can continue to perform activity setting operations in the activity setting area 2902 to configure activity details information, such as at least one activity time, activity scenario information, and activity name. Similarly, merchants can continue to perform gift setting operations in the gift setting area 2903 to configure gifting rules information, such as the number of gifts associated with the target item (e.g., the number of gifts is N) and the number of gifts that each second account can receive (e.g., a set of gifts, which includes 2 items). It is worth noting that, depending on the gift selected by the merchant, this embodiment of the application also supports automatically displaying gift information related to the gift in the gift setting area, such as displaying the total inventory quantity of the gift and the gift type, to facilitate the merchant's secondary confirmation of whether to associate the gift with the target item.

[0317] (2) View the event data of the gift-giving activity.

[0318] Specifically, when a merchant wants to view the activity data of a gift-giving campaign, they can use a computer device to invoke or trigger the display of the data management interface from the gift-giving tool. This data management interface is used to display activity data related to the gift-giving campaign. The activity data displayed in the data management interface can include the total activity data of multiple gift-giving campaigns created by the merchant, or it can include the activity data of a single gift-giving campaign; this embodiment of the application does not limit this. That is, the data management interface can display the activity data of a single gift-giving campaign or the total activity data of multiple gift-giving campaigns, or it can simultaneously display the activity data of a single gift-giving campaign and the total activity data of multiple gift-giving campaigns. The activity data can include at least one of the following: ① The number of times the target gift has been claimed; when the activity data is for a single gift-giving campaign, the number of times the target gift has been claimed refers to the number of times the gift configured for that gift-giving campaign has been claimed. For example, if 3 buyers participate in the gift-giving campaign, and each buyer shares a gift and 2 recipients claim the gift, then the number of times the target gift has been claimed is 3*3=9; when the activity data is for multiple gift-giving campaigns, the number of times the target gift has been claimed is the sum of the number of claims under each gift-giving campaign. ② The number of second accounts that created orders within a specified time period. Here, "orders" refers to orders placed by second accounts when purchasing goods from the merchant's store. In other words, it counts how many second accounts that received gifts placed orders on the merchant's side within a specified time period, reflecting the customer conversion rate achieved through gift sharing. ③ The total order resource volume of orders created within a specified time period. Here, "orders" refers to orders placed by second accounts when purchasing goods from the merchant's store. In other words, it counts the total electronic resource volume of all orders placed by each second account that received gifts on the merchant's side within a specified time period, reflecting the economic conversion achieved through gift sharing. This application embodiment does not limit the specified time period in ② and ③ described above. For example, the specified time period could be within 30 days after the target gift is sent with a gift notification message. It should be understood that the activity data is not limited to the three types given above; this application embodiment uses the three types of activity data as examples for description.

[0319] A schematic diagram of an exemplary data management interface can be found here. Figure 30 ;like Figure 30As shown, the data management interface 3001 includes at least one data item, each corresponding to a type of activity data. For example, data item 30011 corresponds to the activity data—the number of times the target gift has been claimed; data item 30012 corresponds to the activity data—the number of second accounts that created orders within a specified time period; and data item 30013 corresponds to the activity data—the total order resource volume of orders created within a specified time period. Before the gift-giving activity begins, at least one or more data items may be empty. For example, if data item 30011 corresponds to zero times the target gift has been claimed, then data item 30011 is empty, indicating that no claims for the target gift have been generated or counted as zero. After the gift-giving activity begins, the corresponding activity data is displayed in real time for each data item in the data management interface 3001, allowing merchants to monitor the progress of the gift-giving activity in real time.

[0320] See also Figure 30 As can be seen, the data management interface 3001 can also display activity display areas 3002 corresponding to each created gift-giving activity, so that merchants can view the created gift-giving activities in these activity display areas 3002. For example, the activity display area 3003 includes a gift-giving activity 30021 created by the merchant. The display area of ​​gift-giving activity 30021 shows that the activity type is gift sharing, i.e., giving gifts to friends. The activity display area 3003 can also display gift-giving activities with the activity type of exclusive gifts, where the gifts are given to the purchaser.

[0321] Furthermore, the activity display area 3002 includes an activity creation entry 3003; when this activity creation entry 3004 is triggered, it indicates that the merchant wants to create a new gift-giving activity, and then displays... Figure 29 The activity creation interface shown is designed to facilitate merchants in configuring new gift-giving activities. It is worth noting that, considering merchants may not be clear on how to configure a gift-giving activity when creating it for the first time, this embodiment supports playing an educational animation 3004 when the computer device detects that the merchant has triggered the activity creation entry 3003 for the first time. This educational animation 3004 can be a video or a series of images, designed to help merchants learn how to create a gift-giving activity in the activity creation interface.

[0322] Furthermore, merchants can independently analyze the activity data in the data management interface using various data analysis tools. This application embodiment does not limit the data analysis tools or methods, aiming to obtain analysis results according to the merchant's data analysis needs, thereby helping merchants better manage gift-giving activities and achieve a virtuous cycle of gift-giving. The data analysis results may include whether a second account that received a gift engaged in any transactions related to the product, or whether the second account that received a gift followed the store or became a store member, etc.

[0323] In summary, on the one hand, this application embodiment supports merchants in independently creating gift-giving activities according to their own activity needs, meeting their personalized activity requirements; furthermore, this application embodiment provides a templated activity creation interface, allowing merchants to simply configure activity information on the activity creation interface, improving the convenience of activity creation. On the other hand, it supports automatic data statistics, display, and analysis of gift-giving activity data, intelligently processing activity data to help merchants adjust gift-giving activities based on the analysis results, converting more new customers and achieving a virtuous cycle effect in gift-giving.
