In the present specification, an electronic visa application method is provided, and the present specification relates to an electronic visa application apparatus, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which are described in detail in the following embodiments one by one.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an electronic visa application method provided in accordance with one embodiment of the present description, including steps 102-108.

Step 102, receiving a starting instruction submitted by a user aiming at a sub-application which is carried in an application program and used for visa service, and displaying an initial visa application page of the sub-application according to application identification information carried in the starting instruction.

A visa is a document issued by a national entry and exit authority (e.g., the immigration office or its embassy) to a foreign citizen indicating approval for entry.

The ground visa means that a user cannot directly obtain visas going to other countries from the country, but holds materials such as passports and entry permit certificates issued by the state power-off gateway and the like, and then issues visas after the materials arrive at the port of the country.

When a user needs to transact a floor visa, materials such as a designated certificate photo, complete personal data, an identity card, a passport, visa fee, an air ticket, an order of a hotel on the couch and the like need to be prepared in advance, and the materials are carried to a designated window of an airport for transacting; in addition, if the user needs to transact the common visa, the passport and other related materials need to be sent to the entry and exit management institution established in the country to which the user belongs to the visa application place for visa application, or the user carries the related materials to the entry and exit management institution established in the country to which the user belongs to the visa application place for visa application, and the two visa transaction modes have long time and low efficiency.

The electronic visa application method provided by the embodiment of the specification is applied to an application program, a user can apply on-line electronic visa through the sub-application which is loaded on the application program and used for visa service, and the sub-application can intelligently assist in processing images uploaded by the user or input text information, so that the visa application flow is simplified, the visa application time is shortened, and the visa application efficiency is improved.

Specifically, the sub-application described in the embodiments of the present specification is an application that can be used without installation, and is required to be loaded on another application program and run in a manner of being attached to the other application program, a user may submit a start instruction of the sub-application to the application program by scanning an image identification code (for example, a two-dimensional code) of the sub-application or searching a name of the sub-application, and after receiving the start instruction, the application program starts the sub-application according to application identification information of the sub-application carried in the image identification code or the name, and displays an initial visa application page of the sub-application.

In addition, because the sub-application is run by depending on the application program, after the user sends the start instruction to the application program and successfully starts the sub-application, the sub-application needs to acquire user identification information of the user to perform associated storage on information input by the user, in an embodiment provided in this specification, the start instruction submitted by the user for the sub-application which is carried in the application program and used for the visa service is received, and an initial visa application page of the sub-application is displayed according to the application identification information carried in the start instruction, which can be specifically implemented in the following manner:

Specifically, after a user sends a start instruction of a sub-application to an application program and successfully starts the sub-application, the sub-application sends an authorization request for acquiring user identification information to the user, and under the condition that the user agrees to authorization, the sub-application acquires account information of the user in the application program as the user identification information and displays an initial visa application page of the sub-application for the user; if the user does not agree with the authorization, the initial visa application page cannot be displayed for the user, namely, the user cannot apply for the electronic visa on line.

The user identification information is acquired on the basis that the user confirms the authorization, so that the safety of the user information is guaranteed, and in addition, after the user identification information is acquired, the information input by the user can be associated with the user identification information, so that the storage and the query are facilitated.

And 104, under the condition that the user submits an electronic visa application instruction to the visa application place through the initial visa application page, jumping to the information acquisition page of the sub-application from the initial visa application page.

Specifically, under the condition that the sub-application is successfully started and the user agrees to authorize the sub-application to acquire the user identification information, the initial visa application page of the sub-application is displayed for the user, the user can submit a visa application instruction of a visa application place based on the initial visa application page, and after the visa application instruction is submitted, the current initial visa application page jumps to an information acquisition page corresponding to the visa application place in the sub-application.

According to the embodiment of the specification, an electronic visa application function is opened for a user through a sub-application carried on an application program, if the user submits an electronic visa application instruction to a visa application place through an initial visa application page of the sub-application, an information acquisition page corresponding to the visa application place is displayed for the user, and due to the fact that different visa application places have different requirements for materials required for handling visas, the information acquisition pages corresponding to different visa application places are possibly different, and can be set according to actual needs during specific implementation, and no limitation is made.

Taking the visa application place as the country T as an example, after a user sends a start instruction of a sub-application for visa service to an application program and successfully starts the sub-application, an initial visa application page is firstly displayed for the user, and when the user submits an electronic visa application instruction for the country T through the initial visa application page, the current initial visa application page jumps to an information acquisition page corresponding to the country T in the sub-application, wherein the information acquisition page corresponding to the country T is as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B (FIG. 2A is the information acquisition page displayed when the user does not input visa application materials, FIG. 2B is the information acquisition page displayed after the user inputs visa application materials required by four information acquisition items, and as can be known from FIG. 2A, the information acquisition items of the country T comprise four items, namely an air ticket information item, a passport information item, a lodging information item and a certificate item, under the condition that a user clicks any one of the information acquisition items, the current information acquisition page jumps to an information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the information acquisition item, and the user can input information to be acquired in the information acquisition sub-page.

And 106, acquiring the visa application material input by the user based on the information acquisition items in the information acquisition page, and processing the visa application material according to the information processing logic corresponding to the information acquisition items.

Specifically, after a user submits an electronic visa application instruction of a visa application place, the information acquisition pages corresponding to the visa application place are displayed for the user, because different visa application places have different requirements on visa application materials, information acquisition items in the information acquisition pages of different visa application places are different, after the user clicks any one information acquisition item, the sub-application jumps to an information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the information acquisition item from a current information acquisition page for the page displayed by the user, and the user can input visa application materials to be acquired by the information acquisition sub-page.

Because different visa application places have different requirements on materials required for visa handling, each visa application place can respectively correspond to one sub-application for visa service in specific implementation, and different sub-applications are started to display initial visa application pages corresponding to different countries; or setting interfaces corresponding to all visa application places in an initial visa application page of the sub-application for visa service, and clicking different interfaces to display information acquisition pages corresponding to different visa application places; or set up same interface for each visa application ground at the initial visa application page that is used for visa service's sub-application, the user inputs visa application ground by oneself in the information acquisition sub-page that the information acquisition item that shows after the click interface corresponds, and according to the application required material of electronic visa application ground screens the visa application material that the user input based on the information acquisition sub-page that each information acquisition item corresponds to visa application material after will arranging sends through visa service interface visa application material to visa service institution at visa application ground carries out the visa application.

Still taking the visa application place as the country T as an example, setting interfaces corresponding to the visa application places in an initial visa application page of the sub-application for visa service, determining that the user will apply for the electronic visa of the country T under the condition that the user clicks the interface corresponding to the country T, and skipping from the current initial visa application page to an information acquisition page corresponding to the country T. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2A, as can be seen from fig. 2A, the information acquisition page corresponding to the country T includes four information acquisition items, which are respectively an air ticket information item, a passport information item, an accommodation information item, and a certificate photo item, if the user clicks the accommodation information item, the current information acquisition page jumps to an accommodation information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the accommodation information item, and the user can input information to be acquired in the accommodation information acquisition sub-page.

Furthermore, after the user inputs the visa application material based on the information acquisition subpage, the user should process the visa application material by using the information processing logic, but the processing logic for different visa application materials is different, that is, each information acquisition item corresponds to different information processing logic, and the specific information processing process can be realized by the following mode:

Specifically, the identity image described in the embodiment of the present specification includes a user's identification photo image and a passport image; the image cutting logic processes the identity image according to the cutting rule of the identity image according to the proportion of the identity image contained in the visa application material uploaded by the user and the size of the target identity image; the text translation logic is used for translating the accommodation information into text information according to the specified language type to process the accommodation information under the condition that the language type of the accommodation information contained in the visa application material uploaded by the user is different from the specified language type of the visa application country; the preset information acquisition sequence is the sequence of clicking the information acquisition items by the user, or the preset information acquisition sequence of the sub-application, if the preset information acquisition sequence is the latter, the numbers corresponding to the different information acquisition items shown in fig. 2A can be known, if the preset information acquisition sequence of the sub-application is the air ticket information, the passport information, the accommodation information and the certificate photo, if the preset information acquisition sequence is the former, the numbers corresponding to the different information acquisition items in fig. 2A are only used for counting, and do not represent other meanings.

In addition, except that the identity image can adopt the image clipping logic, if other information acquisition items also comprise images to be clipped, the specific image clipping implementation mode is similar to that of the identity image, and is not described again; except that the lodging information can adopt the text translation logic, if other information acquisition items also contain text information to be translated, the specific text translation implementation mode is similar to that of the lodging information, and is not described herein again.

According to the above example, the visa application place is a country T, and the country T requires that the target certificate photo uploaded by the user for visa application is a 2-inch license exempt photo, if the size of the original certificate photo uploaded by the user is larger than 2 inches, the original certificate photo needs to be cut, and the cutting logic is to cut the original certificate photo according to the proportion of the original certificate photo to obtain the target certificate photo with the size of 2 inches; and the specified language type set by the country T for the lodging information is English, and if the lodging information submitted by the user is Chinese, translating the lodging information submitted by the user to generate English text information.

The identity image uploaded by the user is cut into a size meeting the requirements according to the image cutting logic, and the accommodation information which does not meet the specified language type is translated according to the text translation logic, so that the visa application flow is effectively simplified, and the visa application speed and the visa application passing probability are improved.

In addition to the image cropping logic and the text translation logic in the above embodiments, the information processing logic further includes an image recognition logic, and in another embodiment provided in this specification, processing an image according to the image recognition logic may be specifically implemented in the following manner:

Specifically, after the user inputs the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image, the information processing logic corresponding to the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image in the sub-application processes the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image according to the rule of performing image recognition on the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image and performing information entry processing on the text information to be acquired in the information acquisition sub-page according to the recognition result.

Except that the passport image and the hotel reservation order image can adopt the image identification logic, if other information acquisition items also comprise images needing to be identified, the specific implementation mode of the image identification is similar to that of the passport image and the hotel reservation order image, and the description is omitted.

Along the above example, if the user clicks the passport information item in the information collection page, the current information collection page jumps to the information collection sub-page corresponding to the passport information item, and the information collection sub-page corresponding to the specific passport information item is shown in fig. 3A and 3B; after the user uploads the passport image on the information collecting sub-page shown in fig. 3A, the sub-application identifies the information contained in the passport image according to the image identification logic, and if the identification result is: and if the nationality of the user is C, the surnames and the first names of the users are X, Y respectively, and the genders of the users are women and passport numbers E12345678, performing information entry on the text information to be acquired in the figure 3B according to the identification result.

The passport image or the hotel pre-order image uploaded by the user is subjected to image recognition according to the image recognition logic, and the information of the text information to be collected is input according to the recognition result, so that the uploading time of visa application materials is effectively reduced, and the visa application rate is favorably improved.

In another embodiment provided in this specification, the accuracy of the visa application information is determined by comparing an identification result obtained by performing image identification according to the image identification logic with original text information input by a user, and the method can be specifically implemented in the following manner:

Specifically, after a user inputs a passport image and/or a hotel reservation order image and original text information related to the passport and/or the hotel reservation order, the information processing logic corresponding to the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image in the sub-application performs image recognition on the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image, and processes the passport image and/or the hotel reservation order image and the original text information related to the passport and/or the hotel reservation order according to a rule that the recognition result compares the original text information in the information collection sub-page.

Except that the passport image and the hotel reservation order image can adopt the image identification logic, if other information acquisition items also comprise images to be identified and the identification result needs to be compared with the original text information in the information acquisition subpage, the specific implementation mode is similar to that of the passport image and the hotel reservation order image, and the description is omitted here.

Along the above example, if the user clicks the passport information item in the information collection page, the current information collection page jumps to the information collection sub-page corresponding to the passport information item, and the information collection sub-page corresponding to the specific passport information item is shown in fig. 3A and 3B; the user uploads the passport image on the information collecting sub-page shown in fig. 3A, and inputs the text information of the passport (passport number E12345678, first name X, first name Y, sex woman, and issuing place S) on the information collecting sub-page shown in fig. 3B, the sub-application identifies the information contained in the passport image according to the image identification logic, and if the identification result is: the nationality of the user is C, the surname and the first name of the user are X, Y respectively, the gender of the user is woman, the passport issuing place is S, and the passport number is E12345678, so that the original text information input by the user is consistent with the information in the image recognition result through comparison.

In specific implementation, when it is detected that the user clicks the passport information item, the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the passport information item and shown in fig. 3A is displayed for the user, the user uploads a passport cover image and a personal information page image on the information acquisition sub-page shown in fig. 3A, the next control in fig. 3A is clicked, the information acquisition sub-page shown in fig. 3B is skipped to, the user inputs information such as passport number, surname, first name, gender, birth date, issue place, passport validity period and the like on the information acquisition sub-page shown in fig. 3B, and the user can click the draft storage control of the information acquisition sub-page to store information in the information input process;

after the fact that the user uploads or inputs the image and the text information is detected to be completed, the image is recognized, the recognition result is compared with the text information, if the information in the recognition result is consistent with the text information through comparison, the sub-application can associate the image and the text information uploaded by the user with user identification information and store the user identification information; if the information in the recognition result is inconsistent with the text information after comparison, prompt information for re-inputting the text information and re-uploading the image can be sent to the user.

The sub-application carried on the application program carries out image recognition on the passport image or the hotel reservation order image uploaded by the user according to the image recognition logic, and compares the obtained recognition result with the original text information input by the user to determine the validity and accuracy of the visa application information, and prompts the user to upload application materials again under the condition that the verification is not qualified, so that the passing probability of visa application is improved.

And step 108, under the condition that the processed visa application material meets the preset conditions, sending the processed visa application material to a visa service organization of a visa application place for visa application through a visa service interface.

Specifically, different visa application places have different requirements on visa application materials, so that information acquisition items in information acquisition pages of different visa application places are different, and formats, sizes and text information required to be uploaded in information acquisition sub-pages corresponding to the information acquisition items may be different, so that preset conditions of the images or the text information in the information acquisition sub-pages corresponding to the information acquisition items are determined according to the different visa application places without any limitation.

Still taking the visa application place as the country T as an example, as can be seen from fig. 2A, the information collecting items of the country T include four items, which are respectively an air ticket information item, a passport information item, an accommodation information item, and a certificate photo item, and the preset conditions of the country T for the user based on the image or text information uploaded in the information collecting sub-page corresponding to each information collecting item are respectively: the user acquires the designated language type of the text information uploaded in the sub-page based on the information corresponding to the air ticket information item as English; the information contained in the passport image uploaded in the passport information acquisition sub-page is consistent with the text information uploaded by the user based on the information corresponding to the passport information item; the lodging time in the lodging information uploaded by the user based on the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the lodging information item needs to be matched with the time of the user arriving at the visa application place; the size of the certificate photo image uploaded by the user on the basis of the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the certificate photo is 2 inches;

after the fact that the user inputs all information items to be acquired in the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to any information acquisition item is detected, the sub-application processes the information in the information acquisition sub-page according to the information processing logic corresponding to the information acquisition item and checks the processed visa application material, and under the condition that the information in the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the four information acquisition items meets the preset condition, the information in the information acquisition sub-page corresponding to the four information acquisition items is sent to a visa service organization of a visa application place through the visa service interface to carry out visa application.
