Unified QR Code for Multi-Platform Official Account Subscription
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators with multiple official accounts on different public platforms face increased promotion and subscription costs due to the need for separate quick response code generation and confusion over scanning software, making it difficult for users to subscribe to these accounts efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A unified official account quick response code generation method that generates a single promotion link for multiple official accounts, allowing users to subscribe to them by scanning a single quick response code, which is parsed to identify the corresponding accounts and direct the user to a subscription interface for authorization and subscription.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple separate quick response codes are generated for multiple official accounts, then each account can be subscribed to individually, but promotion costs increase and the process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple official accounts into a single group that shares one common quick response code. When a user scans this unified code, the system presents a list of all official accounts in the group, allowing the user to select one or multiple accounts to subscribe to. This eliminates the need to generate and promote multiple separate quick response codes, directly reducing promotion complexity while maintaining subscription functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified quick response code serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the subscription entry point for multiple official accounts, provides a platform for users to view and select from available accounts, and enables batch subscription operations. This multi-functional design replaces the traditional single-account-per-code model, improving ease of operation without sacrificing account-specific subscription capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If quick response codes from different public platforms are provided, then users can access various official accounts, but users face confusion about which scanning software to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a platform-independent quick response code as an intermediary that bridges multiple public platforms. Instead of requiring users to have specific platform-specific scanning software, the unified code can be scanned by any standard quick response code scanner. The system then handles the platform-specific logic on the server side, presenting the appropriate official accounts to the user regardless of which platform they originally belonged to.
3Reliability
If each official account generates its own quick response code, then account-specific subscription is enabled, but promotion and management costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple official accounts under a single quick response code identifier, creating a unified promotion channel. This merging approach maintains the ability to track and manage individual account subscriptions while dramatically improving promotion efficiency. Operators only need to promote one unified code instead of multiple separate codes, reducing marketing costs and simplifying management, while the system reliably attributes subscriptions to the correct individual accounts.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an official account quick response code generation method performed at a computer server, the method comprising: obtaining an association request, the association request comprising an operator identifier, an official account list, and authorization information of multiple official accounts in the official account list; obtaining description information corresponding to each official account from a corresponding official account server according to the authorization information of the official account; associatively storing the operator identifier, the official accounts, and the corresponding description information; obtaining a quick response code generation request, the quick response code generation request carrying the operator identifier and at least one to-be-promoted official account in the official account list; and generating a promotion link corresponding to the operator identifier according to the quick response code generation request, and converting the promotion link into a quick response code.
