Background

In recent years, consumer complaints about transparency and fairness of commodity prices have been increasing. Many consumers consider the price of the e-commerce platform opaque, such as the large price adjustment of partial commodities before the large event, half-price promotion during the event, but the total price is not lower than usual. Many commercial platforms also make a number of commitments and guarantees, such as buying expensive claims, 100 days minimum, in order to trust the consumer.

Fig. 1(a) shows a schematic flow diagram for automatically performing price protection according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1(a), after the order is placed and the transaction is successful, the transaction information (including the information of the consumer, the information of the merchant, the price of the current commodity, and the like) is written into the block chain; if the current time is still within the price protection period, the price protection system can periodically initiate the paying detection, namely, the price protection intelligent contract node in the block chain is triggered to automatically execute the price protection logic, the price protection intelligent contract detects that the latest commodity price of the commodity in the transaction is lower than the commodity price when the consumer purchases the commodity through executing the price protection logic (the purchase price can be obtained through data stored in the block chain), and if the paying condition is met, the transfer of the virtual coin is completed in the virtual account in the block chain, namely, the transfer of the virtual coin is completed from the virtual account of the merchant or the e-commerce to the virtual account of the consumer; the price protection system determines a price protection result by checking a virtual account of a consumer, a merchant or an e-commerce in the block chain, and monitors the merchant to transfer accounts to the consumer account and pay under the condition that a paying condition is met, and informs the consumer of the completion of the account transfer.

Fig. 1(b) shows a block diagram of a block chain price protection system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1(b), the block chain price protection system includes: a blockchain platform 101 and a price protection system 102; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the blockchain platform 101 includes: price protection intelligent contract node 111, virtual money transfer contract 112, information acquisition contract node 113, consumer virtual account 114, and merchant virtual account 115.

The price protection system 102 includes: price protection triggering system 121, information providing system 122, and fund settlement system 123.

Price protection trigger system 121 sends a price protection trigger event to blockchain platform 101 at an appropriate time, such as a price protection trigger event that may trigger an order for a good periodically or a price protection trigger event that the price protection system detects a change in the price of a good that triggers an order for a good associated with the good.

The price protection intelligent contract node 111 is a module, a device, etc. for carrying and automatically executing contracted terms in the price protection intelligent contract in the block chain, in this embodiment, the terms in the price protection intelligent contract include price protection logic, and after receiving the price protection triggering event, detecting whether the commodity price in the commodity order is reduced or not according to price protection logic in the price protection intelligent contract, it acquires the price information such as the purchase price of the commodity in the current aimed commodity order from the block chain, and obtains the latest price information of the commodity in the current aimed commodity order from the outside of the blockchain through the information obtaining contract node 113, and outputs a detection result that can perform price protection when the purchase price is higher than the latest price, and initiates a transfer request to the virtual money transfer contract 112 according to the detection result; after receiving the transfer request, the virtual money transfer contract 112 deducts an amount corresponding to the difference between the purchase price and the latest price from the merchant virtual account 115 in the form of virtual money according to the detection result, and adds the amount to the consumer virtual account 114.

A consumer correspondingly establishes a consumer virtual account 114 in the blockchain, and a merchant or e-commerce platform correspondingly establishes a merchant virtual account 115 in the blockchain.

The information providing system 122 may provide the commodity information in the e-commerce platform to the information acquisition contract node 113.

The information acquisition contract node 113 is a module, a device, and the like that bear load and automatically execute terms written in an information acquisition contract in a block chain, the terms in the information acquisition contract in this embodiment include commodity information acquisition logic, and after receiving an information acquisition request of the price protection intelligent contract node 111, the information acquisition contract node 113 automatically executes the commodity information acquisition logic to acquire required commodity information, such as commodity identification, commodity historical price, commodity current price, and the like, from the information providing system 122. The information providing system 122 may be a system capable of accurately providing reliable service for the information acquisition contract node on the blockchain, that is, a system capable of accurately providing information of commodities under the chain, and may ensure the credibility and security of the commodity information. The information acquisition contract node may obtain the latest price information of the goods from the information providing system 122 using a prediction machine in the block chain to ensure data credibility and security.

The fund settlement system 123 may settle the real fund accounts of the consumer and the merchant according to the change of the virtual coins in the consumer virtual account 114 and the merchant virtual account 115, that is, perform a transfer operation on the real fund accounts of the consumer and the merchant according to the change of the virtual coins in the consumer virtual account 114 and the merchant virtual account 115. The fund settlement system 123 may settle once on a regular basis or once when a virtual money transfer occurs to the virtual money transfer contract 112.

FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of an order processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the order processing method includes the following steps:

in step S201, a commodity order of a consumer is acquired;

in step S202, the commodity order is stored and monitored as an object of price protection;

in step S203, when it is detected that the commodity order meets the condition of price protection, performing price protection operation on the consumer.

At present, the traditional price protection scheme is independently formulated by an e-commerce platform, and the common forms are as follows: a. buy noble claims: if the price of the purchased commodity is higher than that of the competitor platform, the compensation and the price difference can be applied. b.100 days minimum guarantee: if the price of the purchased goods is higher than the minimum price of nearly 100 days, compensation can be applied. At present, the price protection schemes have a plurality of problems, but one of the most main problems is poor transparency and poor reliability. The whole price trend and guarantee scheme are all inside the e-commerce platform, and are opaque to consumers, so that the consumers are difficult to trust.

The blockchain is a cryptology-based decentralized, non-falsifiable and public transparent chain type storage database system. A blockchain system may include a plurality of blockchain nodes, and data uploaded into the blockchain at each blockchain node may not be tampered with. One or more intelligent contracts can be included in the blockchain, wherein each intelligent contract is a string of binary byte codes running in a blockchain virtual machine, can receive external input parameters and automatically execute specific logic and return a result. The smart contracts in the blockchain may automatically execute specific logic and the execution of that logic is transparently disabled from tampering.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, for the commodities on the online platform, the merchant can select to activate the price protection function and also can select not to activate the price protection function. If a certain commodity of the online platform has the price protection function opened, the display page of the commodity can display that the commodity has the price protection function automatically executed by the block chain opened. When a consumer generates a commodity order for a commodity with a price protection function opened, the price protection platform can send the commodity order to the block chain platform. And after receiving the commodity order, the block chain platform stores and monitors the commodity order as a price protection object. The method comprises the steps that a price protection intelligent contract can be established in a block chain platform, price protection logic is written into the price protection intelligent contract, price protection logic written in the price protection intelligent contract is automatically executed by price protection intelligent contract nodes in a block chain based on trigger events so as to detect whether a commodity order accords with price protection conditions, and if the commodity order accords with the price protection conditions, price protection operation can be executed on a consumer by the block chain platform.

The price protection logic can be written according to actual conditions, for example, if the latest price of a certain commodity is lower than the purchase price in a commodity order, the price protection intelligent contract node can obtain the detection result that the commodity order meets the price protection condition, so that the price protection platform can prompt a merchant to return the difference price to the user. The embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to how to perform price protection, and therefore, how to provide a trusted mechanism, so that the scheme of price protection can be made transparent and non-tamper-able, and is used for improving the use experience of consumers.

The order processing method in this embodiment of the disclosure may be executed on the blockchain platform 101 shown in fig. 1(b), and after the blockchain platform 101 acquires a commodity order, the commodity order is stored in the blockchain as an object of price protection, and whether the commodity order meets a price protection condition is monitored, and in the case that the price protection condition is met, a price protection operation may be performed on a consumer corresponding to the commodity order. In the embodiment of the disclosure, data (commodity order information and commodity price) related to price protection are uploaded to the block chain for storage, and price protection logic is executed in the block chain, so that the whole price protection process is transparent and data cannot be tampered, the reliability of a price protection mechanism is ensured, and the use experience of a consumer is improved.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the step S202 of storing and monitoring the commodity order as a price protection object further includes the following steps:

in step S301, storing information of the commodity order to a block chain;

in step S302, it is detected whether the commodity order satisfies a price protection condition by using price protection logic in the price protection intelligent contract node.

In this optional implementation manner, after the blockchain platform obtains the commodity order of the consumer, the information of the commodity order may be stored in the blockchain, which is also called a datalink, and since the information of the commodity order is stored in the blockchain, it can be ensured by the blockchain technology that the information of the commodity order is not tampered, for example, the transaction price of the commodity in the commodity order is not maliciously modified. The price protection intelligent contract node automatically detects whether the commodities in the commodity order meet price protection conditions by using price protection logic written in the price protection intelligent contract, so that the execution of the price protection logic is also public and transparent, and the reality and reliability of the whole price protection process can be ensured.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the step S302 of detecting whether the commodity order satisfies the price protection condition by using the price protection logic in the price protection intelligent contract node further includes the following steps:

in step S401, after detecting a price protection trigger event, the price protection intelligent contract node obtains the current price of the commodity in the commodity order by using the information obtaining contract node;

in step S402, the price protection intelligent contract node determines whether the commodity order satisfies a price protection condition according to the trade price of the commodity in the commodity order stored in the block chain and the current price.

In this alternative implementation, the price protection intelligent contract node may trigger a price protection detection process for the commodity order based on a price protection trigger event. After receiving the price protection trigger event, the price protection intelligent contract node can acquire transaction information such as the transaction price of the commodity in the stored commodity order from the blockchain according to the price protection logic written in the price protection intelligent contract, and can also request the information acquisition contract node to acquire the current information such as the latest price of the commodity in the commodity order. The information acquisition contract node can acquire the current information of the commodity from an information providing system of the price protection system and return the current information to the price protection intelligent contract node, and the price protection intelligent contract node judges whether a commodity order meets price protection conditions according to price protection logic, for example, when the transaction price of the commodity in the commodity order is higher than the latest price in the current information, the commodity order meets the price protection conditions, and the higher price needs to be returned to a consumer.

It is understood that the current information of the commodity may include price information of the commodity at other merchants, in addition to the latest price of the commodity in the commodity order, and the trade information of the commodity may include purchase events of the commodity, the shelf life of the commodity, and the like, in addition to the trade price of the commodity in the commodity order. The content included in the current information and the transaction information of the commodity may be information required for executing price protection logic of the commodity, and may specifically be different according to different price protection logics, which is not limited herein.

The price protection triggering event may be an event that the price protection system sends to the block chain platform to trigger the block chain platform to execute a price protection detection process; it is understood that the price protection triggering event may also be generated inside the blockchain platform, and may be generated periodically, for example, a timer may be started in the blockchain platform, and the price protection triggering event is generated at intervals and sent to the price protection intelligent contract node, so as to trigger the price protection intelligent contract node to start the price protection detection process of the commodity order; the blockchain platform may also be generated based on triggering of other conditions, and may be specifically set according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

The price protection system may further provide an information providing system for providing authentic and authentic commodity information to the information acquisition contract node when the commodity information is required by the information acquisition contract node on the blockchain. The information acquisition contract node requests the information providing system to acquire commodity information based on the request of the price protection intelligent contract node, and provides the commodity information acquired from the information providing system to the price protection intelligent contract node, so that the price protection intelligent contract node can detect whether commodities in a commodity order meet price protection conditions. The information acquisition contract node is used for bearing an information acquisition contract in the block chain, the information acquisition contract acquires information from the lower chain in a prediction machine mode in the block chain, namely commodity information is acquired from the information providing system, and the contract on the chain can ensure that the acquired commodity information is credible and safe in a mode that the prediction machine acquires data from the lower chain.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the step S203, that is, when it is detected that the commodity order meets the condition of price protection, performing price protection operation on the consumer further includes the following steps:

In this optional implementation manner, after detecting that the commodity order conforms to the price protection condition, the price protection intelligent contract node in the block chain platform may perform an operation of virtual price protection on the consumer. And sending a transfer request to the virtual money transfer contract, and transferring the virtual money corresponding to the price protection amount from the virtual account of the merchant to the virtual account of the consumer by the virtual money transfer contract according to the transfer request. The price protection operation for the consumer in the blockchain platform is in the form of virtual price, but because the virtual price protection is embodied on the virtual account of the consumer in the blockchain, the consumer can view the price protection detection result through the virtual account of the consumer in the blockchain. In addition, the price protection system can also perform real price protection operations on the consumer according to the virtual price protection in the blockchain platform.

The price protection system can determine whether the price protection intelligent contract node executes virtual price protection or not from the change condition of the virtual coin in the consumer virtual account and the merchant virtual account, and determine the detection result of the price protection intelligent contract node. If the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer is not changed, the price protection intelligent contract node can be determined not to execute virtual price protection, and when the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer is changed, the virtual price protection can be determined to be executed. The fund settlement system can map the change of the virtual money in the virtual account of the consumer and the virtual account of the merchant into the formal accounts of the consumer and the merchant, namely after the virtual money in the virtual account of the consumer is increased, funds with corresponding amount can be transferred from the real account of the merchant to the real account of the consumer, so that the fund change in the real account of the consumer is consistent with the funds in the virtual account. In this way, the detection of whether the commodity meets the price protection condition and the execution of the virtual price protection are carried out on the block chain, so that the openness and the tamper resistance of the price protection can be ensured, the system under the chain only needs to map the change of the virtual money in the virtual account of the consumer and the virtual account of the merchant on the chain into the real accounts of the consumer and the merchant under the chain, the whole process is open to the consumer, can be supervised by the consumer, and can ensure the credibility of the price protection mechanism.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the step of performing an operation of virtual price protection on the consumer in the form of a virtual coin in the blockchain further includes the following steps:

In this alternative implementation, a merchant virtual account corresponding to the merchant and a consumer virtual account corresponding to the consumer may be established in the blockchain. When the virtual price protection is executed, the virtual coin corresponding to the price protection can be transferred from the merchant virtual account to the consumer virtual account. The virtual account of the consumer corresponds to the consumer, and after the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer changes, the price protection system outside the block chain platform can transfer accounts to the real account of the consumer according to the change condition of the virtual coin so as to realize real price protection. Because the price protection logic is realized in the block chain platform, the price protection logic is transparent and cannot be manually intervened, and the authenticity of price protection is improved.

Fig. 5 shows a flow chart of an order processing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the order processing method includes the following steps:

in step S501, a product order generated by a consumer for a preset price protection product is received;

in step S502, the information of the commodity order is sent to a block chain platform, so that the block chain platform stores the information of the commodity order into a block chain;

in step S503, a detection result of whether the block chain platform satisfies a price protection condition for the commodity order is obtained;

in step S504, a price protection operation is performed according to the detection result.

The order processing method in this embodiment may be executed by the price protection system shown in fig. 1 (b). The price protection system may be provided on an online platform, where the consumer places an order and generates a commodity order. The online platform may send the order for the item to a price protection system.

The merchant of the online platform can choose to activate the price protection function or not, and if the price protection function is activated, the merchant can pay a certain cost, such as payment for activating the price protection function. If a certain commodity of the online platform has the price protection function opened, the display page of the commodity can display that the commodity has the price protection function automatically executed by the block chain opened. For the commodity with the price protection function, a consumer can purchase the commodity at any time according to the demand without waiting for discount promotion of the commodity or reducing the purchasing experience of the consumer due to the fact that the commodity is purchased at a time point with higher price.

When a consumer generates a commodity order for a commodity with a price protection function opened, the price protection platform can send the commodity order to the block chain platform. And after receiving the commodity order, the block chain platform stores and monitors the commodity order as a price protection object. The price protection system can also periodically send price protection triggering events to the blockchain platform according to preset settings, or send price protection triggering events to the blockchain platform when detecting that information such as the price of the commodity in the commodity order changes. Of course, it is understood that the price protection system may not send the price protection trigger event to the blockchain platform, but set the generation logic of the price protection trigger event in the blockchain platform, and the blockchain platform generates the price protection trigger event according to the preset setting.

After receiving the price protection trigger event, the price protection intelligent contract node in the blockchain platform may execute the price protection logic in the price intelligent protection contract to detect whether the commodity in the current targeted commodity order meets the price protection condition, for example, whether the price of the commodity is reduced relative to the time when the commodity order is generated, whether the price of the commodity is lower in other e-commerce platforms, and the like, and how to detect whether the commodity meets the price protection condition is not within the limited scope of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and therefore, no limitation is made herein.

The price protection system also obtains the detection result of the price protection intelligent contract node in the block chain platform to determine whether to execute price protection, and when the detection result is that the price protection is needed, the price protection system can prompt the merchant to return the commodity price difference to the consumer according to the price protection terms.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the method further includes at least one of the following steps:

In this alternative implementation, the price protection system may periodically send a price protection trigger event for the commodity order to the price protection intelligent contract node to trigger the price protection intelligent contract node to detect whether the commodity order meets the price protection condition. The price protection system can also send the price protection triggering event to the price protection intelligent contract node after detecting that the price of the commodity changes so as to trigger the price protection intelligent contract node to detect whether the commodity in the commodity order conforms to the price protection condition, and the condition that the commodity price between two adjacent periods is recovered after being reduced cannot be detected when the mode of periodically triggering is adopted.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the step S503, namely the step of obtaining a detection result of whether the block chain platform satisfies the price protection condition for the commodity order, further includes the following steps:

in step S601, obtaining change information of a virtual coin in a virtual account of the consumer in the blockchain;

in step S602, it is determined whether the commodity order satisfies a price protection condition according to the change information.

In this alternative implementation, virtual accounts, i.e., a user virtual account and a merchant virtual account, may be established for the consumer and the merchant in the blockchain platform, respectively. When detecting that the commodity order meets the price protection condition, for example, the purchase price of the commodity in the commodity order is higher than the current price, the price protection intelligent contract node can execute virtual price protection in the block chain, namely, the amount of money related to the price protection is transferred from the merchant virtual account to the consumer virtual account in the form of virtual money. The virtual account of the consumer corresponds to the consumer, and after the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer changes, the price protection system outside the blockchain platform can determine whether the commodity order meets the price protection condition according to the change condition of the virtual coin, and can also determine the actual amount of money which needs to be paid to the consumer in the current price protection according to the change condition of the virtual coin. In this way, because the price protection logic is implemented in the blockchain platform, the price protection logic is transparent and cannot be manually intervened, and the authenticity of the execution of the price protection logic is improved.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, in step S504, that is, when the commodity order satisfies the price protection condition, the step of executing the price protection operation to the real account of the consumer and sending a notification message that the execution of the price protection operation is successful to the consumer further includes the following steps:

In the optional implementation mode, the price protection system checks the change condition of the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer, so as to obtain the detection result whether the commodity order meets the price protection condition; when the commodity order meets the price protection condition, the amount of money required to be paid to the consumer for the current price protection can be determined according to the change condition of the virtual coin in the virtual account of the consumer, and then the money can be paid to the consumer from the price protection guarantee money paid by the merchant in advance.

In this optional implementation manner, after the price protection system successfully pays the real account price claim to the consumer, the price protection system may feed back the success of the price protection to the consumer, and automatically execute the first prompting information of the price claim.

In addition, if the commodity order does not satisfy the price protection condition in the whole price protection period, so that the price protection operation is not executed on the consumer, after the price protection period is exceeded, for example, the commodity order passes three months, the price protection system may feed back second reminding information that the price of the commodity order is over-reduced in the price protection period to the consumer.

In some embodiments, after the merchant activates the price protection function, a certain deposit may be provided to the price protection system, so that after the blockchain platform detects that the commodity order satisfies the price protection condition, the price protection system may perform a price protection operation to the consumer from the deposit paid by the corresponding merchant according to the detection result of the blockchain platform, that is, the price protection payment amount is transferred from the deposit of the merchant to the real account of the consumer, and the price protection of the commodity order is completed. The price protection system can determine the actual condition of each merchant for executing the price protection function by statistically analyzing the price claim condition of each merchant for the commodity order within a period of time, and can feed back the actual conditions obtained by statistical analysis to the corresponding merchants, and can expose the actual conditions to consumers, so that the consumers can further increase the trust of the merchants due to the reliability of the price protection mechanism. Through the price protection mechanism, the visit amount of a consumer on an online platform can be increased, and the click rate can be increased for commodities of the online platform; after the commodity order meets the price protection condition and the price protection operation is successfully executed, the merchant can further attract the consumer to visit the commodity of the merchant again by issuing compensation gifts such as vouchers and the like to the consumer.

The implementation process of the embodiment of the present disclosure is further described below by application scenarios of hotel price and air ticket price, respectively: the consumer A reserves a room B of a hotel through the online platform, the hotel opens a price protection function, therefore, a room reservation order of the consumer A is sent to the block chain platform by the price protection system, and the block chain platform stores the order information in the block chain. Every morning, the price protection system sends a price protection trigger event to a price protection intelligent contract node in a block chain platform, after the price protection intelligent contract node receives the price protection trigger event, the price protection intelligent contract node acquires the transaction price of a room B of the hotel, which is reserved by a consumer A in the order, from the block chain according to a price protection logic written in a price protection intelligent contract, and in addition, the price protection intelligent contract node acquires the current price of the room B of the hotel from an information acquisition contract node. When the price protection logic is executed at a certain time, the acquired current price is lower than the transaction price by 100 yuan, at the moment, the price protection intelligent contract node sends a transfer request to the virtual account transfer contract node, and the virtual account transfer contract node is requested to transfer virtual coins equivalent to 100 yuan from the virtual account of the hotel to the virtual account of the consumer A.

The price protection system finds that the order has a virtual price protection operation by detecting the transfer record of the virtual transfer contract node, and the price protection pay amount is 100 Yuanren Minibu, the price protection system transfers 100 Yuanren Minibu from the guarantee fund paid by the hotel to the real account of the consumer A, and informs the consumer that the hotel order successfully executes a price protection operation, and the price protection pay amount is 100 Yuan.

The customer C orders a flight D of an airline company through the online platform, and the airline company opens the price protection function, so that the air ticket order of the customer C is sent to the blockchain platform by the price protection system, and the blockchain platform stores the information of the air ticket order in the blockchain. Every morning, the price protection system sends a price protection trigger event to a price protection intelligent contract node in a block chain platform, and after the price protection intelligent contract node receives the price protection trigger event, the price protection intelligent contract node acquires the transaction price of the flight D, which is predetermined by the customer C in the air ticket order, from the block chain according to price protection logic written in a price protection intelligent contract, and acquires the current price of the flight D of the airline company from an information acquisition contract node. When the price protection logic is executed at a certain time, the acquired current price is 200 RMB cheaper than the transaction price, at the moment, the price protection intelligent contract node sends a transfer request to the virtual account transfer contract node, and the virtual account transfer contract node is requested to transfer virtual coins equivalent to 200 RMB from the virtual account of the airline company to the virtual account of the consumer C.

The price protection system finds that the order has a virtual price protection operation by detecting the transfer record of the virtual transfer contract node, and the price protection pay amount is 200 Yuanren, the price protection system transfers 200 Yuanren currency to the real account of the consumer C from the guarantee sum paid by the airline company, and informs the consumer C that the air ticket order successfully executes a price protection operation, and the price protection pay amount is 200 Yuan.
