## Abstract

An object processing method includes: displaying a first operation interface in response to triggering a first operation control of a first stage of a target object, the first operation interface including at least one first operation item; displaying a content input interface in response to completing an operation for the at least one first operation item, the content input interface including at least one input item; in response to completion of content input for the at least one input item, determining a second target value and generating a second operation control corresponding to a second stage of the target object; displaying a second operation interface in response to triggering the second operation control, the second operation interface including at least one second operation item; and updating the state of the target object to a completed state in response to completing an operation for the second operation item.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, further comprising:
updating the state of the target object to a disabled state, in response to no second target value inputted in the completion status input box within a second preset time period.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the content input interface is a conversational interface, and the method further comprises:
determining the content inputted in the at least one input option based on interaction content on the conversational interface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining the second target value and generating the second operation control corresponding to the target object in response to the completion of the content inputted in the at least one input option comprises:
determining the second target value and generating the second operation control corresponding to the target object, in response to contents inputted in a target input options, wherein there is a one-to-one correspondence between the target input options and sub target values, and the second target value is a sum of sub target values.

### Claim 6

An electronic device, comprising:
a processor configured to execute a computer program stored in a memory,
wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
display a first operation interface in response to triggering a first operation control corresponding to a target object, wherein the first operation interface comprises a first operation option, and the first operation option corresponds to a first target value;
display a content input interface in response to completing an operation on the first operation option in the first operation interface, wherein the content input interface comprises at least one input option;
determine a second target value and generate a second operation control corresponding to the target object, in response to content inputted in the at least one input option;
display a second operation interface in response to triggering the second operation control, wherein the second operation interface comprises at least one second operation option, and the at least one second operation option corresponds to the second target value;
update a state of the target object to a completed state in response to completing an operation on the at least one second operation option on the second operation interface;
display a third operation control within a first preset time period, after the content input interface is displayed in response to completing the operation on the first operation option in the first operation interface; and
update the state of the target object to a disabled state, in response to triggering the third operation control within the first preset time period.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
