The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus, medium and electronic device for configuring a gift list in a live broadcast room, comprising: receiving a gift list request sent by a client terminal, the gift list request including a room number of a live broadcast room where a user logging into the client terminal is located; determining a region where a host in the live broadcast room is located when broadcasting according to the room number of the live broadcast room; determining targeting gift list information corresponding to the region; and sending the targeting gift list information to the client terminal in response to the gift list request.

The present disclosure provides a method and system for managing the operation of an electronic device, a medium, and a server. The method for managing the operation of an electronic device includes: receiving related information of idle electronic devices reported by a client by using a first application program (101a); storing the related information of each idle electronic device (102a); receiving a usage request for an idle electronic device sent by a user terminal (103a); and searching for a correspondingly matched idle electronic device according to the usage request, and sending related information of the correspondingly matched idle electronic device to the user terminal, so that the user terminal remotely controls a second desktop system of the correspondingly matched idle electronic device by using a second application program (104a). In this method, an electronic device in an idle state may be rented to others for use, realizing full utilization of the electronic device, avoiding a waste of idle resources, saving user costs, and reducing pollution.

Methods, systems, and computer storage media provide a concurrent browsing session. A user interface is provided for display on a first computing device of a first user to facilitate the concurrent browsing session. The user interface simultaneously displays a first browsing screen showing interaction of the first user with a site and a real-time feed of a second browsing screen presented on a second computing device of a second user showing interaction of the second user with the site. A request is received to split payment of a first item in a first digital cart. In response to the request, a first payment interface for a first portion of the payment is provided for display on the first computing device, and a second payment interface for a second portion of the payment is provided for display on the second computing device.

Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform acts of: providing a search engine that includes, or communicates with, a recall personalization model configured to generate personalized recall sets of search results for users; receiving, at the search engine, a search query submitted by a user; generating, using the recall personalization module, a feature vector for the user that includes contextual features associated with the user; generating, using the recall personalization model, a simulated narrowing query that includes the search query submitted by the user and the feature vector; generating, using the search engine, a recall set of search results based, at least in part, on the simulated narrowing query. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

A computer system is provided that includes a paired list of data transaction requests on which a matching process is performed. There are multiple different types of data transaction requests that are stored in the paired list including data transaction requests with midpoint attributes and data transaction requests with discretion attributes. The computer system may determine how the multiple different types of data transaction requests may be match against each other. Two matching processes can be used to determine if a match exists between the first and second sides of the paired list. Matches that are determined at private values are not disseminated to third-parties via public market data feeds.

A method, which may be performed at an electronic device, such as a media server associated with a media-providing service, causes a set of media items to be provided to a user based on identifying performance listings relevant to the user. The method includes determining a list of one or more performance listings of artists relevant to a user based on a media consumption history of the user, the media consumption history describing media content items previously delivered to the user by a media content server, and a listening profile of a second user, distinct from the first user, the listening profile identifying media content and artists played by the second user via the media content server. The method includes providing one or more media items to the user, the one or more media items selected based on the list of one or more performance listings.

A method is provided that includes receiving, by a first device from a second device, a freight carrier for shipping a product and an account number for the freight carrier, validating, by the first device, the account number by communicating with a third device, and allowing, by the first device, completion of checkout on the second device in response to successfully validating the account number.
