Description of the Preferred Examples

[0051] The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying examples, so as to describe the invention purposes, technical solutions and advantages more clearly. It is to be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0052] One of the innovations of the examples of the present invention is that, in conjunction with the function of a credit certificate including freezing a payent, a new payment model is implemented. The advantages of the new payment model include the buyer keeping the seller's transaction progress at bay selectively, not only ensuring the buyer's financial security but also urging the commodity delivery by the seller, setting the conditions at each stage of the payment process to reduce the workflow on the fund recovery and collect final payment effectively and successfully, ensuring the integrity of transactions between buyers and sellers at the institutional level.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1, in one example, there is provided a network transaction payment method comprising the steps of:
Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17

[0054] In Step 102, the first terminal transmits the credit certificate and the purchase information data packet to the second terminal.

[0055] The first terminal is suitable for the payment party in the payment of the network transaction. The second terminal is suitable for the seller in the network transaction. In one example, the buyers and sellers complete the network transaction through the online shopping platform. The credit certificate is a kind of electronic certificate for handling payment and settlement that the buyer uses the corresponding funds of his payment account to guarantee the payment for goods.
Specifically, the credit certificate corresponds to a string of specific serial numbers, which act as unique identifiers of the credit certificate. The payment account includes a bank account number or the third party's payment account.

[0056] The first terminal generates a shopping order based on the merchandise shopping information submitted by the user and calculates the amount of payment required for the purchase of the order item, and further generates the purchase information data packet according to the purchase order and the payment amount. The first terminal sends the purchase information data packet together with the credit certificate to the second terminal to realize the buyer's request to purchase the merchandise from the seller.

[0057] In one example, the network transaction payment method also includes: the first terminal sends an issuing request to the first server before the first terminal transmits the credit certificate and the purchase information data packet to the second terminal in Step 102. The issuing request includes payment account and issuing amount; The first server freeze the funds of the issuing amount corresponding to the payment account, if the freezing is succeeded, the issuing amount corresponded credit certificate will be generated; the credit certificate will be returned to the first terminal; if the freezing is failed, the issuing certificate failure information will be generated, and the issuing certificate failure information will be returned to the first terminal.

[0058] The buyer in advance before the network transaction out of the credit certificate, through the advance payment account corresponding to the funds to show the seller to the buyer has the ability to pay the purchase price. In the present example, the first server is provided with a payment account by the buyer to pay the payment, and the buyer can freeze the payment account corresponding to the payment through the first server and automatically transfer the payment account of the seller to the payment to be paid.

[0059] The amount of credit is the credit limit of the credit certificate, for example, the amount of 5,000 RMB, out of the credit certificate can be used as a purchase of 5,000 RMB of goods credit guarantee. The funds of the credit certificate corresponding to the issuing amount are not diverted before they are unfrozen. To ensure that the seller to recover the security of the purchase price.

Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17

[0060] In one example, the first terminal establishes a connection with the first server over the network. The issuing request also contains the user name and user password of the payment account.
The first server verifies whether the buyer has permission to open the credit by checking the user name and the user password. In one example, the reason for the failure of the issuance request includes that the amount corresponding to the payment account is less than the amount of the issuing or the legitimacy verification of the first server to the issuing request, etc. If the first server will not be able to generate the credit certificate, it will issue a failure message to the first terminal to remind the buyer.

[0061] In Step 103, the second terminal parses the purchase information data packet to obtain the payment amount and determines whether the payment amount is less than or equal to the amount of the issuance corresponding to the credit certificate. If so, the process proceeds to Step 104, if not.

[0062] In the present example, the second terminal, after receiving the shopping data packet, further judges whether the buyer has sufficient funds to pay for the purchased goods. In the present example, if it is determined whether or not the payment amount is equal to or less than the amount of the issuance corresponding to the credit certificate, if it is, the buyer's frozen funds are sufficient to pay the purchase of the merchandise network transaction, and the process proceeds to Step 104. If not, then the buyer to freeze the lack of funds to pay for the purchase of goods The network transactions failed, buyers can choose to buy other goods or exit the shopping platform.

[0063] In Step 104, the second terminal transmits a payment request including the payment amount and the credit certificate to the second server.

[0064] The second server is connected with the second terminal through the network, the second server is provided with the receiving account of the buyer, and the second server is used to transfer the payment of the purchased goods paid by the buyer into the receiving account, and in one example, the second server is pre-set with the account number. After the seller receives the buyer's shopping request, further, the second terminal sends a payment request to the second server, and the second server requests payment from the first server to the first server.

[0065] In Step 105, the second server sends a payment request containing the credit certificate and the payment amount to the first server.

[0066] In the present example, when the second server receives the receiving request sent by the second terminal, the second server transmits the payment request to the first server according to the receiving request, that is, to notify that the first server credit certificate corresponded the issuing amount shall be used for payment for goods in on-line transactions. During the course of a network transaction, the funds for the corresponding amount of the credit will not be diverted.

[0067] In one example, on the right of Step 105, the method also includes:
whether the first server verifies if the credit certificate is consistent with the credit certificate returned to the first terminal Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17 and, if so, updates the issuing amount corresponding to the credit certificate shall be updated to the amount that the issuing amount minus the payment amount.

[0068] The first server judges whether the credit document sent by the second server is generated by itself, and if so, the credit certificate is legally valid. As the credit card corresponding to the amount of the amount of funds has been partially or all will be used to pay the payment, and further credit card corresponding to the amount of funds to make the appropriate adjustments, by issuing the amount minus the amount of payment to reset the corresponding credit certificate The amount of the buyer to facilitate the next shopping, to avoid buyers after the purchase of credit certificate corresponding to the amount of money to pay all the money.

[0069] In one example, after the first server updates the issuing amount corresponding the credit certificate to the amount that the issuing amount minus the payment amount, the method also includes:

[0070] If the first server fails to receive the paying certificate sent by the second server within the pre-set time range, the issuance amount of the updated credit certificate is restored to the amount of the issuance before the update.

[0071] In the present example, the network transaction process is limited to the pre-set time range, that is, the time from the order of the buyer to the seller to the buyer's receipt is set within the pre-set time range. If the first server does not receive the receipt document sent by the second server within the pre-set time range, the default network transaction has been suspended for some reason. For example, the unqualified buyer refused to sign or the buyer and the seller reached an agreement to cancel the network transaction and other reasons. As the buyer has no obligation to pay the purchase price, in order not to affect the buyer's next shopping credit certificate corresponding to the amount of the amount of recovery back to the amount before the update.

[0072] In Step 106, the second server receives the paying certificate sent by the first terminal, the paying certificate contains the corresponding payment, and sends the paying certificate to the first server.

[0073] In the actual network transaction process, the buyer receives the goods and the seller to send the goods may be different, resulting in the amount of payment payable may be different with the actual amount of payment. For example, the buyer in the seller's shop to buy five cups, but the buyer because of which two cups failed to sign only one of the three cups, paying certificates corresponding to the money should be three cups of money instead of 5 A cup of money. The second terminal generates the paying certificate based on the information of the network transaction which the buyer and the seller has completed, and sends the paying certificate to the second server, and the second server requests the first server to pay the payment.

[0074] In one example, at Step 106, before the second server receives the paying certificate sent by the second terminal, the method also includes: the first terminal transmits the confirmed receipt Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17 information of the signed goods to the second terminal; the second terminal generates the corresponding paying certificate as per the confirmed receipt information.

[0075] In the present example, the buyer may voluntarily send to the seller a receipt information confirming that the goods have been checked, and the buyer, by clicking on the merchandise by the first terminal on the shopping platform, confirms the goods receipt, and further triggering the first terminal and transmits the confirmation receipt information to the second terminal. The second terminal generates the paying certificate based on the confirmation receipt information.

[0076] In another example, at Step 106, the second server receives the paying certificate sent by the second terminal, the method further comprising:

[0077] The second terminal receives the logistics information corresponding to the merchandise returned by the logistics server and generates the corresponding paying certificate according to the logistics information.

[0078] In the present example, when the buyer sends the issuing request through the first terminal, the payment is set by the credit document, and the payment is made in accordance with the logistics information of the merchandise. The merchandise's logistics information will be recorded in the logistics server, for example, when the goods are received by the consignee, the logistics company's staff will be the goods have been signed information into the logistics server, which has signed the information, including the recipient's signature and Sign time and other information.

[0079] The logistics server realizes the logistics information of the goods to the second terminal in real time, and the logistics infounation obtained by the second terminal conforms to the pre-set condition, that is, the corresponding paying certificate is generated according to the logistics information. For example, the logistics server records the logistics information that the seller completed the delivery task, the generated paying certificate requires the buyer to pay part of the purchase price, when the logistics server records the logistics information that the buyer has signed the goods, the generated paying certificates need to buy Home to pay the remaining payment.

[0080] The first server, according to the logistics information of the goods, transfers the funds corresponding to the credit certificate in batches, in other words the payment of the goods is divided to be paid at multiple stages of the payment process, it encourages the seller to actively fulfil the obligations of the contract, not only ensuring the buyer's financial security but also urging the commodity delivery by the seller, to achieve the integrity of transactions between buyers and sellers.

[0081] In one example, the logistics server sends the logistics number corresponding to the goods after shipment to the first terminal and the second terminal to facilitate the transaction tracking of the buyers and sellers to the purchased goods.

Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17

[0082] In Step 107, the first server verifies the legitimacy of the paying certificate, after the verification is successful, according to the credit certificate, the funds for payment of the goods corresponding to the payment account shall be de-blocked.

[0083] In Step 108, the first server transfers the funds to the pre-set receiving account through the second server.

[0084] In the present example, the first server pays the debit amount of the debit amount corresponding to the payment account to the pre-set collection account through the second server, thereby realizing the payment obligation of the buyer to purchase the goods.
Completed the network transaction.

[0085] In one example, data packets are tampered with in order to prevent data leakage or encounter hacking. Data such as purchase infolination data packets, paying certificates and credit certificates are encrypted during the transmission process, that is, the above data packets contain the encryption section. Specifically, the above data contains the encryption section using the MAC
algorithm for encryption.

[0086] The above-mentioned network transaction payment method, the first terminal corresponded buyer has already obtained the credit certificate before he purchase the goods, the credit certificate provides guarantee for the buyer to make payment for the goods, ensures seller's gathering security, and makes the seller be ease to make delivery. Before the first terminal corresponded the buyer completes the transaction, the fund of the payment account will not pay out. The security of the buyer is guaranteed. The above method of network transaction payment is achieved without relying on the third-party payment platform, and it improves the funds security of on-line transactions.
At the same time, the payment for goods within the payment account of the buyer does not have to pay in advance, in case the seller did not complete the delivery, the payment for goods can gain interest in the corresponding account of the payment account, which increases the funds gains of the buyer.

[0087] As shown in picture 2. In one example, the buyer A issues an issuing request for a 5,000 RMB credit certificate to the first server 22 through the first terminal 21, and the first server 22 will freeze the deposit amount of 5,000 RMB in the payment account and will generate the credit certificate with a value of 5,000 and return the first terminal 21. On the shopping platform, the buyer A goes into the seller B's e-shop to buy goods, but the purchased goods must be less than or equal to 5,000 RMB so as to achieve the transaction. The payment for goods purchased by the buyer A is guaranteed by the 5,000 RMB credit guarantee. After the buyer and the seller have reached a deal agreement, the seller B arranges the logistics company to send the goods. The logistics company records the logistics information of the merchandise into the logistics server 25, the logistics server 25 returns the logistics information to the second terminal 23, the second terminal 23 generates the Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17 corresponding paying certificate, and the second terminal 23 transmits the paying certificate to the second server 24, the second server 24 sends a paying certificate and a credit certificate request payment for goods to the first server 22, the first server 22 de-blocks the funds in the payment account according to the credit certificate, and transfers the funds to the receiving account of the seller B
through the second server 24 so as to complete the network transaction payment.

[0088] In one example, as shown in Figure 3, there is provided a network transaction payment method that applies the first server; the method comprises the steps as below:

[0089] In Step 302, the first server receives the first terminal to send the issuing request, and the issuing request includes the payment account number and the issuing amount.

[0090] In Step 304, the first server will freeze the funds corresponding to the issuing amount of the payment account number, and if the freezing is successful, the credit certificate corresponding to the issuing amount is generated and the credit certificate is returned to the first terminal. If the freezing fails, the issuing failure message generates, and the issuing failure message will be returned to the first terminal.

[0091] In Step 306, the first server receives the payment request including the paying certificate and the credit document sent by the second server, and the paying certificate contains the corresponding payment for goods.

[0092] In Step 308, the first server verifies the legitimacy of the paying certificate, after the verification is successful, according to the credit certificate, the funds for payment of the goods corresponding to the payment account shall be de-blocked.

[0093] In Step 310, the first server transfers the funds to the pre-set receiving account through the second server.

[0094] In one example, at Step 310, the first server passes the funds through the second server to the pre-set payment account, the method further comprising: the first server generates a message that the payment was successful and sends the message that the payment was successful to the first terminal.

[0095] As shown in Figure 4, in one example, in Step 306, the first server receives the payment request containing the paying certificate and the credit certificate sent by the second server, further comprising:

[0096] In Step 402, the first server verifies whether the credit certificate corresponds to the credit certificate returned to the first terminal. If so, then go to Step 404, if not, then the end.

[0097] In Step 404, the amount of the card issuance corresponding to the credit is updated to the amount obtained by the amount of the debit amount minus the payment amount.

[0098] In one example, in Step 404, after the first server updates the issuing amount corresponding to the credit certificate to the amount obtained by the issuing amount minus the payment amount, and the method also includes:

[0099] In Step 406, when the first server does not receive the paying certificate sent by the second server within the pre-set time range, the issuance amount corresponding to the updated credit certificate is restored to the amount of the transaction before the update.

[0100] As shown in Figure 5, there is provided a network transaction payment system comprising:
a first terminal, a second terminal, a first server, and a second server, wherein the first terminal 11 is connected to the first server 12; the terminal 13 is connected to the second server 14, the first terminal 11 is connected to the second terminal 13, and the first server 12 is connected to the second server 14. The first terminal 12 is connected to the second server 14,

[0101] The first terminal 11 is used for transmitting a credit certificate and a purchase information data packet to the second terminal 13. The first terminal 11,

[0102] The second terminal 13 is used for parsing the payment amount of the purchase information data packet and determining whether or not the payment amount is equal to or less than the issuance amount corresponding to the credit certificate, and if so, sending the payment request including the payment amount and the credit certificate to the second server 14 The

[0103] The second server 14 is used for sending a payment request including a credit certificate and a payment amount to the first server 12, the paying certificate is sent by the second terminal 13, and the paying certificate containing a corresponding payment for goods; in accordance with the payment request, the paying certificate and the credit certificate are sent to the first server 12.

[0104] The first server 12 verifies the legitimacy of the paying certificate, and after the verification is successful, the payment for goods corresponding to the payment account is de-blocked according to the credit certificate, and the funds are transferred to the pre-set receiving account through the second server 14.

[0105] In one example, the first terminal 11 is also used to send the confirmed receipt information to which the goods have been signed to the second terminal 13. In one example,

[0106] The second terminal 13 is also used to generate the corresponding paying certificate based on the confirmation receipt information.

[0107] In one example, the second terminal 13 is also used for the second terminal 13 to receive the logistics information corresponding to the merchandise returned by the logistics server and generate the corresponding paying certificate based on the logistics information.

[0108] In one example, the first server 12 is also used to generate a message that the payment was successful and to send a message that the payment was successful to the first terminal 11. In one example, Date recue/Date received 2023-03-17
