for each service of the plurality of services, the first type of records includes a number of a plurality of first historical requests within a third time period from the current instance.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the records of historical requests further comprise a second type of records associated with the user terminal, and wherein,

for each service of the plurality of services, the second type of records includes at least one of:

a number of a plurality of second historical requests;

a plurality of second historical requesting time, wherein each second historical requesting time of the plurality of second historical requesting time is associated with a second historical request of the plurality of second historical requests;

a probability of using coupons for the user;

or

information relating to the user'"'"'s visit to a page displaying the service.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein for each service of the plurality of services, the information relating to the user'"'"'s visit to the page displaying the service comprises at least one of:
