    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for implementing free-for-all game session participation and administration including creating a game session hosted at a social platform, issuing a plurality of prizes, populating the issued prizes with quantities of a commodity, setting a task as a precondition to claiming the issued prizes, awarding prizes to claiming users from whose respective user devices the social platform received successful claims based on performance of the task, and disbursing each awarded prize. Example embodiments of the present disclosure implement collective activities which encourage participation by groups of people affiliated by friend and/or group relationships using token or nominal commodity prizes to provide incentives, and furthermore provide token levels of challenge to provide participants with entertainment. Friends, family, colleagues, and other such extended groups of people may be incentivized to participate for the sake of collective low-stakes competition without extensive investment.

    摘要: A method for implementing visualization of public welfare activities includes: displaying to a target user a map of a geographic region for carrying out a public welfare activity in response to the target user's selection, wherein the map comprises a first geographic location associated with a first icon indicating that the public welfare activity has been carried out at the first geographic location and a second geographic location associated with a second icon indicating that the public welfare activity is able to be carried out at the second geographic location; when a relationship exists between the target user and a public welfare activity participant user that has carried out the public welfare activity on the map, displaying on the map user information of the public welfare activity participant user; updating the second icon to be a first icon in response to the target user's selection on the second icon.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present specification provide methods and apparatuses for generating two-dimensional codes. One method comprising: receiving, by a secure element chip comprised in a two-dimensional code display device, code information comprising an account identifier of an account associated with the two-dimensional code display device; in response to obtaining a digital certificate for a private key stored in the secure element chip, signing, by the security element chip, the code information by using the private key to generate signed code information; and providing, the signed code information to the two-dimensional code display device for the two-dimensional code display device to generate and display a two-dimensional code based on the code information, wherein the two-dimensional code comprises information associated with the account identifier and changes dynamically over time.

    摘要: Implementations of this specification provide service identifier-based data indexing. An example method performed by a data indexing apparatus of a centralized database service provider that stores data by using a blockchain-type ledger includes obtaining a service identifier and a service label of a data record, the service identifier uniquely identifying a service attribute of the data record, and the service label representing a type of the data record; determining location information of the data record in the blockchain-type ledger, the location information including a block height of a data block that includes the data record, and a positional offset of the data record in the data block that includes the data record; establishing a mapping relationship among the service identifier, the service label, and the location information; and writing the mapping relationship into an index for which a primary key is the service identifier.

    摘要: Implementations of the present specification provide a model-based prediction method and apparatus. The method includes: a model running environment receives an input tensor of a machine learning model; the model running environment sends a table query request to an embedding running environment, the table query request including the input tensor, to request low-dimensional conversion of the input tensor; the model running environment receives a table query result returned by the embedding running environment, the table query result being obtained by the embedding running environment by performing embedding query and processing based on the input tensor; and the model running environment inputs the table query result into the machine learning model, and runs the machine learning model to complete model-based prediction.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, an invocation request sent by an initiator is received by a blockchain node in a blockchain network. The invocation request is associated with invocation of a smart contract in the blockchain network. The smart contract includes contract code, data, and pre-update metadata. A pre-update data structure described by the pre-update metadata is parsed by the blockchain node and by execution of the contract code. The pre-update data structure is associated with the data comprised in the smart contract. Following parsing of the pre-update data structure, the pre-update data structure is represented by the blockchain node using a computer programming language. The pre-update data structure specified by the computer programming language is sent by the blockchain node to the initiator.
