[0035] The realization of the object of the present invention, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Examples of the Invention Implementation pattern of the present invention [0036] It is to be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative of the invention but not intended to limit the invention.
[0037] In the examples of the present invention, the Funds-Management server is a server of the funds management institution and the funds management institution refers to an organization capable of supporting the flow of funds, including but not limited to banks and other financial institutions (such as securities institutions), that is, Funds-Management server includes a bank server or other financial institution server.
[0038] In this example of the present invention, an electronic certificate is an application which is issued by the buyer to the Funds and Management server and is opened by Funds-Management server, electronic commitment payment certificate is an Internet innovation basic financial instrument paid by funds management institution in accordance with the commitment of funds management institution. The electronic certificate is mainly for buyers' commodity. The seller downloads the cashier interface, and the buyer finishes the issuance of the electronic certificate. The seller completes the receipt and performance and submits the payment application. The electronic certificate expires automatically. The electronic certificate can be purchased not only for commodities, but also for collateral. For example, an individual may issue a letter of credit to a bank as a guarantee for the loan to others.
[00391 In this example of the present invention, the solution of electronic certificate means that after the issuing institution (such as a issuing bank) receives the payment application and confirms that the payment conditions are met, transfer funds associated with the electronic certificate to a collection agency (such as a collecting bank).

[0040] In the example of the present invention, the general flow of the network payment through the electronic certificate is as follows: the first Funds-Management server (that is, the issuing institution such as the issuing bank's server) is opened on the application of the First Participant electronic certificate, the second Funds-Management server accepts the receipt according to the application of the Second Participant, and the Second Participant delivers the second Funds-Management server to the first Funds-Management server submits the settlement application, the first Funds-Management server solves the electronic certificate according to the settlement application, and transfers the funds of the First Participant associated with the electronic certificate to the Second Participant.
[0041] In this example of the present invention, the entire transaction process includes several periods as shown in Figure I, including the issuing period, the collection period, the performance period, the receipt period, the settlement period and the settlement period, in which:
[0042] The opening date: after the First Participant and the Second Participant form the trade order, the First Participant (such as the buyer) applies to the first Funds-Management server (that is, the issuing institution such as the issuing bank's server) when the trade order is formed or the trade order is formed. Open electronic certificate. The first Funds-Management server opens an electronic certificate according to the buyer's application for issuance, and stores the amount of the electronic certificate in the account designated by First Participant accordingly (for example, the funds or credit in the frozen account is frozen, and the credit for freezing is divided into two situations:
one from the beginning of the frozen funds, the first Funds-Management server start calculating interest, that is, First Participant using a credit card limit; the other is received from the Second Participant credit corresponding funds, the first Funds-Management server began to calculate interest).
[0043] Collection period: Second Participant (for example, the seller) applies for a certificate to the second Funds-Management server (that is, the receiving institution's server such as a receiving bank), and the electronic certificate expires if the certificate is overdue, and the second Funds-Management server verifies the information certificate.
[00441 Compliance Period: Second Participant submit compliance information (such as shipping information), overdue electronic certificate is invalid.
[0045] Signature Period: The Second Participant applies for the payment and fails to submit the payment information (such as the receipt information). After the Second Participant applies for settlement, the electronic certificate enters the settlement period.
[0046] In the electronic certificate solution method of the present invention, the Second Participant submits multiple (at least two) settlement requests to the first Funds-Management server for the same electronic certificate successively through the second Funds-Management server, the first Funds-Management server determines whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, and if yes, executes the solution on the electronic certificate.
[0047] In the following, the payment of the electronic certificate will be described in detail through specific examples.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2, the first example of the present invention electronic certificate solution payment method, the method includes the following steps:
[0049] S11, the Second Participant delivers the application for the n-th application to the Second Funds-Management server for the same electronic certificate.
[0050] In this step S11, the Second Participant (for example, seller) finishes the transaction condition corresponding to the electronic certificate according to the settlement condition of the electronic certificate, and logs in the corresponding webpage or opens the corresponding application, and delivers the electronic certificate to the second Funds -Management server delivers the n-th solution application, where n = 1, 2, 3 ..., i.e. the first solution application, the second solution application, the third solution application ....
[0051] S12, the second Funds-Management server forwards the n-th solution application to the first Funds-Management server.
[00521 Optionally, after receiving the settlement request, the second Funds-Management server forwards the request directly to the first Funds-Management server.
[0053] Preferably, after the second Funds-Management server receives the settlement request, it obtains the settlement information in the settlement application and verifies the settlement information. After the verification is passed, the solution is forwarded to the first Funds-Management server. After the verification fails, the packet will not be forwarded and the Second Participant fails verification. For example, an error message is returned to the Second Participant. The payment information includes Second Participant identity information, dynamic payment code or / and settlement password, such as:
verifying the identity of the Second Participant, verifying the application to the first Funds-Management server by forwarding the solution, or returning an error prompt information.
[00541 S13. The first Funds-Management server verifies the electronic certificate corresponding to the settlement application, and determines whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate. When the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S14 is executed. When the settlement application amount is greater than the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the process ends without payment and may be delivered to the second Funds-Management server error message.
[0055] The remaining amount of the electronic certificate refers to the unsold funds frozen in the account associated with the electronic certificate. The account associated with the electronic certificate, which is the account designated by First Participant (e.g. buyer) when applying for an electronic certificate.
[00561 Optionally, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the status of the electronic certificate to verify whether the electronic certificate is valid, and returns an error message to the second Funds-Management server when the electronic certificate is invalid, When the electronic certificate valid and the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S14 is executed. To verify whether the electronic certificate is valid and determine whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the order of verification is not valid. When the electronic certificate is valid, determine whether the application amount is less than or the remaining amount of the electronic certificate. it can also determine whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate. If the settlement amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, verify that the electronic certificate is valid.
[00571 Optionally, when the second Funds-Management server does not verify the settlement information contained in the settlement application, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the settlement information, and the step S14 is executed when the payment information is verified and the electronic certificate is not fully paid.
There is no restriction on the sequence of verifying the settlement information and judging whether the electronic certificate is completely settled.
[0058] Optionally, when the payment information is at least two, part of the payment information may be respectively verified by the second Funds-Management server and the first Funds-Management server. For example, the second Funds-Management server verifies the Second Participant identity, the first Funds-Management server authentication solution password.
[0059] Optionally, the first Funds-Management server verifies both the settlement information and the electronic certificate are valid and determines whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate.
[0060] Further, after the foregoing verification is passed and the settlement application amount is determined to be less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be released and may deliver the solution to the First Participant notification.
[006 Ij S14, the first Funds-Management server performs the n-th solution payment on the electronic certificate.
[0062] Specifically, the first Funds-Management server partially freezes the funds or credit lines frozen in the account associated with the electronic certificate according to the settlement application amount (the amount of the unfreeze is equal to the amount of the application for settlement), and transfer the released funds to the second Funds-Management server.
The second Funds-Management server will eventually transfer the funds to the account designated by Second Participant.
[00631 Further, after the electronic certificate is released, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be pending for payment, prepares to receive the next settlement request, and delivers the updated information to the second Funds-Management server. When it is determined in step S13 that the electronic certificate has been completely settled (that is, the remaining amount of the electronic certificate is zero), the status of the electronic certificate is updated as solved and the update information is delivered to the second Funds-Management server.
[0064] Step SI4 is completed and then return to step S11, continue to the next electronic certificate settlement process until the electronic certificate completely solved.
[0065] In the foregoing example, the funds for each solution payment may be set in advance, each time a certain amount of money is paid out of the same amount, and the funds required for settlement at the current time may also be specified in each payment application.
[0066] Figure 3, a solution of the second example of the electronic certificate payment method of the present invention is proposed. The method of this example is applied to the foregoing first Funds-Management server. The method includes the following steps:
[0067] S21, receiving the nth settlement request delivered by the second Funds-Management server for the same electronic certificate.
[0068] Specifically, after completing the transaction condition corresponding to the electronic certificate according to the settlement condition of the electronic certificate, the Second Participant delivers the n-th payment application to the second Funds-Management server by logging in to the corresponding webpage or opening the corresponding application. The second Funds-Management server then forwards the n th solution application to the first Funds-Management server, where n = 1, 2, 3 ..., that is, the first settlement application, the second settlement application, 3rd solution payment application [0069] S22, verifying the electronic certificate corresponding to the settlement application, judging whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate. When the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S14 is executed. When the settlement application amount is greater than the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the process ends without payment and may be delivered to the second Funds-Management server error message.
[0070] Optionally, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the status of the electronic certificate to verify whether the electronic certificate is valid, and returns an error message to the second Funds-Management server when the electronic certificate is invalid. When the electronic certificate valid and the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S14 is executed. The order of verifying the validity of electronic certificate and judging whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of electronic certificate is not limited.
[0071] Optionally, when the second Funds-Management server does not verify the payment information contained in the payment application, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the payment information, and when the payment information verification the solution payment. When the application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S23 is executed. The sequence of verifying the settlement information and judging whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate is not limited.
[0072] Optionally, when the payment information is at least two, part of the payment information may be respectively verified by the second Funds-Management server and the first Funds-Management server. For example, the second Funds-Management server verifies the Second Participant identity, the first Funds-Management server authentication solution password.
[0073] Optionally, the first Funds-Management server verifies both the settlement information and the electronic certificate and determines whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate.
[00741 Further, after the foregoing verification is passed and the settlement application amount is determined to be less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be released and may deliver the solution to the buyer notification.
[0075] S23: Perform an n-th solution payment on the electronic certificate.
[0076] Specifically, the first Funds-Management server partially freezes the funds or credit lines frozen in the account associated with the electronic certificate according to the settlement application amount, and transfer the released funds to the second Funds-Management server. The second Funds-Management server will eventually transfer the funds to the account designated by Second Participant.
[0077] Further, after the electronic certificate is released, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be pending for payment, prepares for the next solution, and delivers the updated information to the second Funds-Management server. When it is determined in step S22 that the electronic certificate has been completely settled (that is, the remaining amount of the electronic certificate is zero), the status of the electronic certificate is updated as solved and the update information is delivered to the second Funds-Management server.
[0078] After step S23 is completed, the process returns to step S21 to proceed to the next solution of electronic certificate settlement until the electronic certificate is completely settled.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 4, a third example of the electronic certificate payment method of the present invention is proposed. The method of this example is applied to the foregoing second Funds-Management server. The method includes the following steps:
[00801 S3 I, at least two applications for payment have been delivered successively by the Second Participant on the same electronic certificate.
[00811 S32. For each solution payment application, verifying the payment information contained in the payment settlement application. After the verification is passed, step S33 is executed;
when the verification fails, step S34 is performed.
[0082] The settlement information includes Second Participant identity information, dynamic settlement code or / and settlement payment password.
[0083] S33: Forwarding the solution application to the first Funds-Management server.
[0084] S34, not forwarded to apply for solution. And can return an error message to Second Participant.
[00851 "lherefore, the electronic certificate solution payment method of the present invention allows multiple payments for the same electronic certificate, i.e., multiple reissues of a single issuance of a certificate, so that the buyer does not need to open a new electronic certificate after completing one payment to complete the next payment, to improve the convenience and flexibility of electronic certificate use, simplifying the buyer's payment process. At the same time, the funds associated with the electronic certificate freeze in the buyer's own account, both to protect the safety of the buyer's funds, but also does not affect the buyer's interest income.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 5, an electronic certificate solution payment system according to an example of the present invention is proposed. The system includes a First Participant, a Second Participant, a first Funds-Management server and a second Funds-Management server, wherein:
[0087] First Participant: Set to submit a certificate of issuance to the first Funds-Management server and apply for the establishment of an electronic certificate.
[0088] The second Funds-Management server: set to forward at least two payment repayments delivered by the Second Participant to the same electronic certificate successively to the first Funds-Management server.
[0089] Optionally, after receiving the settlement request, the second Funds-Management server forwards the request directly to the first Funds-Management server.
[0090] Preferably, after the second Funds-Management server receives the settlement request, it obtains the settlement information in the settlement application and verifies the settlement information. After the verification is passed, the solution is forwarded to the first Funds-Management server. After the verification fails, the packet will not be forwarded and the Second Participant fails verification. For example. an error message is returned to the Second Participant. The settlement information includes Second Participant identity information, dynamic settlement code or / and settlement payment password.
[0091] The first Funds-Management server: set to receive the same electronic certificate at least twice the solution to the application, for each solution to apply for payment, to determine whether the solution payment claim amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of electronic certificate. When the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, perform the settlement; when the settlement application amount is greater than the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, no payment will be made and the second Funds-Management server will be delivered notice of discharge.
[0092] The remaining amount of the electronic certificate refers to the unsold funds frozen in the account associated with the electronic certificate. The account associated with the electronic certificate, which is the account designated by First Participant when applying for an electronic certificate.
[00931 Optionally, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the status of the electronic certificate to verify whether the electronic certificate is valid, and returns an error message to the second Funds-Management server when the electronic certificate is invalid. When the electronic certificate valid and the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, step S14 is executed.
Optionally, when the second Funds-Management server does not verify the settlement information contained II

in the settlement application, the first Funds-Management server also verifies the settlement information. When the settlement information is verified and the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of electronic certificate.
[0094] Optionally, when the payment information is at least two, part of the payment information may be respectively verified by the second Funds-Management server and the first Funds-Management server. For example, the second Funds-Management server verifies the Second Participant identity, the first Funds-Management server authentication solution password.
[0095] Optionally, the first Funds-Management server verifies both the settlement information and the electronic certificate and determines whether the settlement application amount is less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate.
[00961 Further, after the foregoing verification is passed and the settlement application amount is determined to be less than or equal to the remaining amount of the electronic certificate, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be released and may deliver the solution to the buyer notification.
[0097] The first Funds-Management server performs the solution to the electronic certificate specifically as follows: the first Funds-Management server partially freezes the funds or credit lines frozen in the account associated with the electronic certificate according to the settlement application amount, and transfer the released funds to the second Funds-Management server. The second Funds-Management server will eventually transfer the funds to the account designated by Second Participant.
[0098] Further, after the electronic certificate is released, the first Funds-Management server updates the status of the electronic certificate to be pending for payment, prepares to receive the next settlement request, and delivers the updated information to the second Funds-Management server. When it is determined that the electronic certificate has been completely settled (that is, the remaining amount of the electronic certificate is zero), the status of the electronic certificate is updated as solved and the update information is delivered to the second Funds-Management server.
[0099] The system for providing an electronic certificate provided by the above example belongs to the same concept as the method example for an electronic certificate.
