[0028] The client 10 is connected with server 40 of the second Funds-Management server for transmitting the payment request information to the second Funds-Management server 40, and the payment request information includes the payment amount.
[0029] Specifically, the client 10 is suitable for the payer (buyer), including the account information of mobile phone, personal computer, PAD, and other intelligent devices, the account information of the client 10 is filled in when the customer registers and stored in the database of the Funds-Management service and (or) the information centre server, the account information of the client 10 includes customer ID, an account opening bank, account name, a bank account number, and a credit balance, and may also include the customer's shipping address.
The payment request information is the information that the customer has written and confirmed shipping address information after the customer purchases the specific goods/services.
According to the pre-set rules, price of the goods/services, and commercial Merchants of the goods/services, the client 10 generates data package; the packet will be transmitted to the second Funds-Management server 40.
The payment request information includes at least the payment amount, and may include the Merchant information and the product information. Among them, the Merchant information can be directly the Merchant's receiving account, it can also uniquely identify the Merchant information (for an example, Merchant ID), by the second Fund-Management server 40 on the unique identification of the merchant from the database to find the corresponding bank account information. In the specific application, the account information of the Merchant 20 should be kept confidential with respect to the client 10, so the Merchant information is preferably the Merchant ID, and the second Fund-Management server 40 inquires the Merchant's receiving account by using the corresponding relationship between the Merchant ID and its receiving account number. In other
4 words, the client 10 only needs to inform the second Funds-Management server 40 to which Merchant and which goods to pay the amount of funds, the second Fund-Management server 40 will be able to call out the Merchant account to implement the appropriate payment operation.
[0030] The Merchant 20 is connected to the first Fund-Management server 30 for receiving the electronic commitment payment certificate transmitted by the second Fund-Management server 40.
