the user equipment provides book information of the alternative book and the reading incentive information.
The following description is made in terms of user equipment and network equipment, respectively.
Aspects of user equipment
According to one aspect of the present application, a method for providing reading incentive information of an electronic book is provided, which is applied to a user device.
Referring to fig. 3, the method includes step S110, step S120, and step S130.
In step S110, in response to detecting a preset trigger event, the user equipment sends a book information request about a current user to the network equipment; after receiving the book information request, the network device matches and obtains an alternative book which is the same as the author of the current book, and determines the book information of the alternative book. The current book refers to an electronic book which is currently being read by the user or has just been read, and the alternative book refers to an electronic book which is selected by the user so that the user can continue to read after the current book is read. The alternative books are matched and determined by the network equipment based on the reading history, preference information and the like of the current user in combination with a corresponding recommendation algorithm in some embodiments, and form a set or a subset of an electronic book which is written by an author of the current book and is not read by the user in other embodiments; book information of the alternative books, including but not limited to book cover information, book copyright information, book title information, book category information, etc., is used for the user to know the relevant information of the corresponding electronic books, and the decision efficiency of the user is improved. The author of the alternative book is the same as the author of the current book, facilitating the user to more quickly obtain information about the electronic book that may be of interest.
Wherein, the preset trigger event may be, but is not limited to, any of the following in some embodiments:
the reading progress of the current book reaches a preset reading progress, for example, the percentage of the part of the current book that has been read by the user to all the contents of the current book is not less than a preset percentage threshold, which is 100% in an exemplary embodiment, that is, the user has finished reading the current book, so that the user is provided with a subsequent book that can be read after the user finishes reading the current book, and the user experience is improved;
the current user performs an exit reading operation on the current book, for example the user performs a "return" operation on the reading interface of the current book; in this situation, the alternative books and the reading incentive information are provided, so that more reading choices can be provided for the user, and the user experience is improved;
the current user performs a trigger operation on the incentive prompt message, where the incentive prompt message is provided in the reading interface of the current book, so as to remind the user to acquire a corresponding reading incentive and implement continuous reading, thereby improving the user experience and optimizing the resource configuration, for example, referring to fig. 4, information such as "complete reading" in the center of the reading interface of the current book is the incentive prompt message.
Then in step S120, the user equipment receives book information of an alternative book returned by the network equipment based on the book information request, and reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book; in step S130, the user equipment provides the book information of the candidate book and the reading incentive information. The reading incentive information is used for providing an incentive when the user transfers the resources for further reading, or providing a corresponding incentive prompt for the user to encourage the user to perform a corresponding resource transfer operation. In some embodiments, the network device transfers the account resources of the user (e.g., transfers the account resources of the user to other accounts) based on a resource transfer operation, which may be, without limitation, cash, account credits of the user, or virtual resources within the user account. For example, referring to FIG. 4, the user is prompted in the interface of the application to: the "old reader" that has currently become the current author, and may use the "pay novel x-coupon", where the discount information is the reading incentive information provided to the user.
Wherein the timing of providing the reading incentive information may be different in different embodiments. For example, the user equipment may provide the reading incentive information to the user when the user performs the resource transfer operation; the user device may also provide the reading incentive information to the user in other manners (for example, the user device may previously provide the reading incentive information to the user, or provide the reading incentive information to the user after the resource transfer operation of the user is completed), instead of providing the reading incentive information when the user performs the resource transfer operation.
For the case where the user device provides the reading incentive information by other means, in some embodiments, the method further comprises step S140 (not shown). In step S140, in response to detecting a resource transfer triggering operation (typically performed by a user for triggering a resource transfer operation, such as, but not limited to, a user clicking a "determine payment" button on a payment interface of a corresponding book) on account resources of the current user, the user device sends a resource transfer request to the network device, so that the network device performs the resource transfer operation based on the reading incentive information and performs reading authorization on the alternative book to the current user, so that the user can read the corresponding paid book or a payment section of the book; the resource transfer operation is directly executed based on the resource transfer triggering operation, so that the disturbance to the user can be reduced, and the operation efficiency of the user is improved. And for the case that the user equipment provides the reading incentive information upon detecting the resource transfer operation, in some embodiments, the method further includes step S150 (not shown). In step S150, in response to detecting a resource transfer operation (which may be, but is not limited to, performed in response to a user operation or performed periodically, for example, corresponding to a subscription situation) on account resources of the current user, the user device provides reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book (for example, the user device has previously obtained the reading incentive information from the network device before the reading incentive information), and sends a resource transfer request to the network device, so that the network device performs the resource transfer operation based on the reading incentive information and performs reading authorization on the alternative book to the current user, so that the user can read the corresponding paid book or paid chapters of the book.
In some embodiments, the book information request includes one or more of the following information:
-user identification information of the current user for the network device to determine a book reading/sharing history of the current user or to enable personalized recommendation of alternative books for the current user;
-author information of the current book for the network device to determine an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book;
-book identification information of the current book for the network device to determine the author of the current book and thereby determine the alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book.
To further enhance the user experience and optimize the configuration of resources, in some embodiments, the method further includes step S160 and step S170 (both not shown). In step S160, the user device sends a book sharing request about the current book to the network device in response to a book sharing operation for a target user, where the book sharing request includes user identification information of the target user and book identification information of the current book, so that the network device provides corresponding sharing incentive information for the sharing object of the user with respect to the same electronic book (current book) as a reading incentive of the sharing object, or determines sharing incentive information of the same electronic book (current book) as a reading incentive of the sharing object for the sharing object, and then the network device may perform resource transfer based on the sharing incentive information in response to the resource transfer operation of the sharing object, and perform reading authorization of the current book of the target user for the sharing object, so that the sharing object of the current user can also obtain a reading incentive with respect to the current book (for example, the sharing incentive information is the same as the reading incentive of the current user) ) Not only can the sharing object access more books based on the sharing operation of the current user, but also the resource configuration of the system is optimized; in step S170, the user device receives book sharing result information returned by the network device based on the book sharing request, for example, optionally, the book sharing result information includes sharing success or sharing failure, and sharing incentive information provided to the sharing object.
Aspects of network devices
According to another aspect of the present application, a method for providing reading incentive information of an electronic book is provided, which is applied to a network device. Referring to fig. 5, the method includes step S210, step S220, and step S230.
In step S210, the network device receives a book information request sent by the user device and related to a current user of the user device. Here, please refer to the description of the related embodiments in the aspect of the user equipment for the related content of the book information request, which is not described herein again. Subsequently, in step S220, the network device determines book information of an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book and reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book based on the book information request. The current book refers to an electronic book which is currently being read by the user or has just been read, and the alternative book refers to an electronic book which is selected by the user so that the user can continue to read after the current book is read. The alternative books are matched and determined by the network equipment based on the reading history, preference information and the like of the current user in combination with a corresponding recommendation algorithm in some embodiments, and form a set or a subset of an electronic book which is written by an author of the current book and is not read by the user in other embodiments; book information of the alternative books, including but not limited to book cover information, book copyright information, book title information, book category information, etc., is used for the user to know the relevant information of the corresponding electronic books, and the decision efficiency of the user is improved. The author of the alternative book is the same as the author of the current book, facilitating the user to more quickly obtain information about the electronic book that may be of interest. The reading incentive information is used for providing an incentive when the user transfers the resources for further reading or providing a corresponding incentive prompt for the user to encourage the user to perform a corresponding resource transfer operation. In some embodiments, the network device transfers the account resources of the user (e.g., transfers the account resources of the user to other accounts) based on a resource transfer operation, which may be, without limitation, cash, account credits of the user, or virtual resources within the user account. For example, referring to FIG. 4, the user is prompted in the interface of the application to: the "old reader" that has currently become the current author, and may use the "pay novel x-coupon", where the discount information is the reading incentive information provided to the user. In step S230, the network device sends the book information of the candidate book and the reading incentive information to the user device.
In some embodiments, the network device authorizes the current user to read the alternative book based on a resource transfer operation to the account resource of the current user, so that the user can read the corresponding paid book or paid chapters of the book (e.g., for the current user, part of chapters of the current book are available for free access, and another part of chapters are accessed for payment). In some embodiments, the user equipment sends a resource transfer request to the network equipment, and the network equipment executes a resource transfer operation after receiving the resource transfer request; optionally, the resource transfer request includes a user identifier of the current user (e.g., an account name of the user) and a quantity of the resource to be transferred, and may further include account information of transfer-in/transfer-out of the resource.
In some embodiments, the book information request includes one or more of the following items:
-user identification information of the current user, based on which the network device determines a book reading/sharing history of the current user, or enables personalized recommendation of alternative books for the current user;
author information of the current book, based on which the network device determines an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book, and provides the alternative book (e.g. the content, the cover or the title of the book, etc.) to the user device;
-book identification information of the current book, the network device determining the author of the current book and thereby determining the alternative books that are the same as the author of the current book.
In some embodiments, the book information request includes author information of a current book, for example, the user equipment requests content of the current book and author information of the current book from the network device before the user equipment requests the content of the current book and the author information of the current book from the network device, and stores the content of the current book and the author information of the current book locally in the user equipment, so that the user can look up related information at any time; subsequently, the book information request sent by the user equipment to the network equipment contains the author information, and the network equipment does not need to match again to determine the author information of the current book, so that the computing resources of the network equipment are saved. Accordingly, in step S220, the network device determines book information of an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book and reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book based on the author information of the current book. In other embodiments, the book information request includes book identification information of a current book, so that the network device updates book reading history of the user based on the book identification information; optionally, the book information request does not additionally contain author information of the current book, and the network device queries and determines author information of the current book based on the book identification information of the current book, so that bandwidth resources for communication between the user device and the network device are saved. Accordingly, in step S220, the network device determines author information of the current book based on the book identification information; and determining book information of an alternative book which is the same as the author of the current book, and reading incentive information of the current user relative to the alternative book.
Of course, the book information request may optionally include one of author information of the current book, book identification information of the current book, or both. In some embodiments, the book information request further includes user identification information of a current user; in the step S220, the network device determines, by combining the user identification information, book information of an alternative book that is the same as an author of the current book and matches the current user, and reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book. For example, the network device reads book reading history of a user, and determines other electronic books (for example, electronic books with similar subject matter and capacity and the same author as the current book) matched with the current book as recommended books according to book information of the electronic books that the user finishes reading; and then the network equipment takes the recommended books as alternative books or parts of the alternative books and sends book information of the alternative books to the user equipment, so that the alternative books provided by the system for the user are more in line with the reading habits of the user, and the decision efficiency and the use experience of the user are improved.
To further enhance the user experience and optimize the configuration of resources, in some embodiments, the method further includes step S250, step S260, and step S270 (none shown). In step S250, a network device receives a book sharing request about the current book sent by the user device, where the book sharing request includes user identification information of a target user and book identification information of the current book; in step S260, the network device performs a book sharing operation on the current book for the target user based on the sharing incentive information, for example, the network device provides the sharing incentive information of the same electronic book (current book) as a reading incentive of the sharing object to the sharing object of the user, or determines the sharing incentive information of the same electronic book (current book) as a reading incentive of the sharing object separately for the sharing object, and then the network device may perform resource transfer based on the sharing incentive information in response to the resource transfer operation of the sharing object and perform reading authorization of the current book of the target user to the sharing object, so that the sharing object of the current user can also obtain a reading incentive (for example, the sharing incentive information is the same as the reading incentive of the current user) for the current book, and not only the sharing object can access more books based on the reading incentive of the current user, the resource allocation of the system is also optimized; in step S270, the network device sends book sharing result information corresponding to the book sharing operation to the current user, for example, optionally, the book sharing result information includes sharing success or sharing failure, and reading incentive information provided to the sharing object. In some embodiments, the sharing incentive information is determined based on the reading incentive information, for example, the sharing incentive information corresponds to the same "discount" strength as the reading incentive information (refer to fig. 4).
In some embodiments, in the step S260, the network device determines the remaining number of times of sharing the current book by the current user based on the user identification information; and if the residual sharing times are larger than zero, performing book sharing operation related to the current book on the target user based on sharing incentive information. For example, the number of times that the current user shares with the friend for the same book and the friend can obtain sharing incentives at the same time is determined according to the historical operation information of the user (for example, the number of reads of the book by the same author, the number of resource transfer operations of the user for the same author or all authors, the total amount of resource transfer of the user for the same author or all authors, and the like), so as to assist the user and the service provider in optimizing the configuration of the resource. In some embodiments, in the step S270, if the remaining sharing frequency is not greater than zero (for example, the remaining sharing frequency is 0), book sharing result information corresponding to the book sharing operation is sent to the current user, where the book sharing result information includes sharing failure, and the sharing object does not receive the shared content; if the remaining sharing times are greater than zero, the book sharing result information includes successful sharing, and the network device deducts the corresponding remaining sharing times according to the number of users who receive the shared content (for example, one sharing operation of the users may correspond to a plurality of sharing objects to improve the operation efficiency).
In some embodiments, the method further comprises step S280 (not shown); in step S280, the network device determines the remaining sharing times of the current book by the current user based on the reading incentive information, so as to implement reasonable configuration of the reading incentive. For example, when the more reading incentives the current user obtains for the current book (for example, the greater the "discount" for paying to read other books of the same author), the number of times the current user can share the current book is reduced accordingly when the reading incentive (for example, the "discount" for paying to read the current book) corresponding to the sharing object is determined according to the reading incentive obtained by the current user (for example, the "discount" for the sharing object is the same as the "discount" of the current user), so that the service provider can allocate limited incentive resources to more needed users. In other embodiments, as described above, the remaining number of times of sharing the current book by the current user is determined according to the historical operation information of the user. For example, the more the historical accumulated sharing times of the user on other books, the greater the contribution of the user to the resource optimization configuration, the more the remaining sharing times configured for the user to share the current book, and the configuration optimization of system resources and the improvement of the use experience of other users are further facilitated.
In addition, for the current user, the system provides reading incentive information of the alternative books, so that the user is encouraged to continue reading other electronic books of the same author based on the reading incentive information, and the utilization rate and the user experience of the user equipment are improved. In some embodiments, in step S220, the network device performs any one of the following operations, or performs a combination of the following operations:
-determining book information of an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book based on the book information request, and determining reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book in combination with resource quantity information (e.g. "original price" of the ebook) corresponding to the current book, so as to provide diversified incentive information to the user according to the situation that the user has read the book, e.g. the higher the original price of the current book, the more "discount" is provided to the user when reading other books;
-determining book information of an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book based on the book information request, and determining reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book in conjunction with the resource transfer record of the current user, e.g. the more a user pays for the book he reads, the more "discounts" are provided to the user when he reads other books;
-determining book information of an alternative book that is the same as the author of the current book based on the book information request, and determining reading incentive information of the current user with respect to the alternative book in conjunction with book sharing records of different books by the current user, e.g. the more other users a user shares the book he reads to, the more "discounts" the current user reads other books.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above determination of the reading incentive information of the user relative to the alternative books may alternatively or simultaneously be implemented; these embodiments are merely examples, and do not limit the specific embodiments of the present disclosure.

In addition, some of the present application may be implemented as a computer program product, such as computer program instructions, which when executed by a computer, may invoke or provide methods and/or techniques in accordance with the present application through the operation of the computer. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the form in which the computer program instructions reside on a computer-readable medium includes, but is not limited to, source files, executable files, installation package files, and the like, and that the manner in which the computer program instructions are executed by a computer includes, but is not limited to: the computer directly executes the instruction, or the computer compiles the instruction and then executes the corresponding compiled program, or the computer reads and executes the instruction, or the computer reads and installs the instruction and then executes the corresponding installed program. Computer-readable media herein can be any available computer-readable storage media or communication media that can be accessed by a computer.
Communication media includes media by which communication signals, including, for example, computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data, are transmitted from one system to another. Communication media may include conductive transmission media such as cables and wires (e.g., fiber optics, coaxial, etc.) and wireless (non-conductive transmission) media capable of propagating energy waves such as acoustic, electromagnetic, RF, microwave, and infrared. Computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data may be embodied in a modulated data signal, for example, in a wireless medium such as a carrier wave or similar mechanism such as is embodied as part of spread spectrum techniques. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. The modulation may be analog, digital or hybrid modulation techniques.
By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable storage media may include volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. For example, computer-readable storage media include, but are not limited to, volatile memory such as random access memory (RAM, DRAM, SRAM); and non-volatile memory such as flash memory, various read-only memories (ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM), magnetic and ferromagnetic/ferroelectric memories (MRAM, FeRAM); and magnetic and optical storage devices (hard disk, tape, CD, DVD); or other now known media or later developed that can store computer-readable information/data for use by a computer system.
An embodiment according to the present application comprises an apparatus comprising a memory for storing computer program instructions and a processor for executing the program instructions, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the processor, trigger the apparatus to perform a method and/or a solution according to the aforementioned embodiments of the present application.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments, and that the present application may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the application being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim concerned. Furthermore, it is obvious that the word "comprising" does not exclude other elements or steps, and the singular does not exclude the plural. A plurality of units or means recited in the apparatus claims may also be implemented by one unit or means in software or hardware. The terms first, second, etc. are used to denote names, but not any particular order.
