Abstract

Embodiments include information processing methods, a server, a terminal, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums. One information processing method includes receiving a request for electronic information. The request for the electronic information is sent by a first user logged into a first terminal. The method includes recommending and sharing at least one piece of recommended information, which corresponds to the electronic information, to at least one second user according to a recommendation and/or sharing rule associated with the electronic information. The at least one second user is associated with the first user. The method further includes, when the at least one second user logs into a second terminal and performs a function based on the at least one piece of recommended information, sending at least one piece of content information to a database accessible by the first user according to the at least one piece of recommended information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing method of a back-end server, the method comprising:
receiving a sharing request to share electronic information from a first terminal of a first user, the sharing request identifying a second user associated with the first user;
sending, by circuitry of the back-end server, the electronic information to a second terminal of the second user, the second user being identified in the sharing request;
receiving, by the circuitry of the back-end server, an asynchronous request responsive to the electronic information sent to the second terminal being used by the second user;
obtaining identification information, included in the asynchronous request, for identifying the first user;
obtaining indication information, included in the asynchronous request, for performing a function based on the electronic information;
determining, according to the indication information, that the second user has performed the function;
generating a virtual reward page based on a virtual reward template stored in the back-end server;
sending, by the circuitry of the back-end server, a virtual reward notification message to the first terminal of the first user identified by the identification information in response to the received asynchronous request indicating that the electronic information sent to the second terminal is used by the second user, the virtual reward notification message including a link to the virtual reward page; and
sending, by the circuitry of the back-end server, the virtual reward page in response to the link in the virtual reward notification message being selected by the first user, the virtual reward page being configured to display a virtual reward associated with the electronic information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the asynchronous request includes a redemption request.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
processing the virtual reward in response to a user input to accept the virtual reward via the virtual reward page.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic information includes a ticket for the second user to obtain an object related to the electronic information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the virtual reward includes at least one virtual article.

6. An information processing method, comprising:
sending, by circuitry of a first terminal, a sharing request to share electronic information with a second user of a second terminal to a back-end server, the sharing request identifying the second user associated with a first user, the electronic information being sent to the second terminal of the second user; and
receiving, by the circuitry of the first terminal, a virtual reward notification message from the back-end server, the virtual reward notification message being sent to the first terminal of the first user in response to an asynchronous request that is received by the back-end server when the electronic information sent to the second terminal is used by the second user, the asynchronous request including (i) identification information for identifying the first user and (ii) indication information for performing a function based on the electronic information, the second user being determined to have performed the function based on the indication information, and the virtual reward notification message being generated based on a virtual reward template stored in the back-end server and including a link to a virtual reward page;
displaying the virtual reward notification message; and
displaying, by the circuitry of the first terminal, the virtual reward page that is sent by the back-end server in response to the link in the virtual reward notification message being selected by the first user, the virtual reward page being configured to display a virtual reward associated with the electronic information.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the back-end server identifies the first user according to the identification information received when the electronic information is used by the second user, and sends the virtual reward notification message to the first terminal of the first user.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the back-end server determines that the second user has used the electronic information when the second user performs a function based on the electronic information.

9. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving a user selection of an interactive object associated with the link via a touch screen interface, wherein
the virtual reward page is sent by the back-end server in response to the user selection of the interactive object.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the interactive object is a graphical item that links to the virtual reward page.

11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic information includes a ticket for the second user to obtain an item related to the electronic information.

12. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the virtual reward includes at least one virtual article.

13. A back-end server, comprising:
circuitry configured to receive a sharing request to share electronic information from a first terminal of a first user, the sharing request identifying a second user associated with the first user;
send the electronic information to a second terminal of the second user, the second user being identified in the sharing request;
receive an asynchronous request responsive to the electronic information sent to the second terminal being used by the second user;
obtain identification information, included in the asynchronous request, for identifying the first user;
obtain indication information, included in the asynchronous request, for performing a function based on the electronic information;
determine, according to the indication information, that the second user has performed the function;
generate a virtual reward page based on a virtual reward template stored in the back-end server;
send a virtual reward notification message to the first terminal of the first user identified by the identification information in response to the received asynchronous request indicating that the electronic information sent to the second terminal is used by the second user, the virtual reward notification message including a link to the virtual reward page; and
send the virtual reward page in response to the link in the virtual reward notification message being selected by the first user, the virtual reward page being configured to display a virtual reward associated with the electronic information.

14. The back-end server according to claim 13 , wherein
the asynchronous request includes a redemption request.

15. The back-end server according to claim 13 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to
process the virtual reward in response to a user input to accept the virtual reward via the virtual reward page.

16. The back-end server according to claim 13 , wherein the electronic information includes a ticket for the second user to obtain an item related to the electronic information.

17. The back-end server according to claim 13 , wherein the virtual reward includes at least one virtual article.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform the information processing method according to claim 1 .

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable ins
