Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and devices for object allocation. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving, at a server, an object allocation message submitted by an allocation source via a communications application, the object allocation message including an identification of the allocation source, a number of to-be-allocated objects, and an object allocation time; extracting, by the server from an object set corresponding to the allocation source, objects corresponding to the number of to-be-allocated objects; controlling, by the server, acquisition times when the allocation destination will acquire the objects, so that the acquisition times do not happen before the object allocation time.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for generating a user-targeting alert notification based on an existing communication message. The system improves significantly over previous systems by providing more efficient and expeditious user operation. A computing device receives an instruction to generate a user-targeting alert notification based on an existing communication message. In response to determining that a body of the existing message indicates a target user in a designated format, the computing device adds the target user as a recipient of the user-targeting alert notification, generates the notification based on the body of the existing communication message, and sends the notification to the recipient.
