By referring to the following detailed description, the above viewpoints and advantages of the present invention will be understood more quickly, and the spirit of the present invention will be more easily understood by the following description and attached drawings.

In order to make your reviewing committee better understand the technical content of the present invention, the preferred specific embodiments are described below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a merchant information integration system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, the merchant information integration system 1 of this embodiment mainly includes a message integration platform (or a message integration module) 10 and a message operation module 20. In this embodiment, the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 has a built-in merchant code comparison table 110 and a plurality of merchant information forms 120. The merchant code comparison table 110 has multiple groups corresponding to these merchant information forms 120. Corresponding merchant code 112. The message operation module 20 includes an input unit 210, a processing unit 220, and a transmission unit 230. In this embodiment, the processing unit 220 is connected to the input unit 210, and the transmission unit 230 is also connected to the processing unit 220.

In addition, the message operation module 20 of this embodiment may further include a display unit 240, a transaction unit 250, and a code query unit 260. The display unit 240 and the processing unit 220 is connected, and the information of the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 can be displayed. In addition, the transaction unit 250 and the code query unit 260 are also connected to the processing unit 220.

It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the message operation module 20 is, for example, a mobile electronic device, and the input unit 210 is, for example, a button or a touch screen. Therefore, the consumer may use the input unit 210 to input a first instruction I1, and the processing unit 220 may receive the first instruction I1 to generate a connection request signal S1. In this way, the transmission unit 230 can send a link request signal S1 to link with the message integration platform (or the message integration module) 10. In this embodiment, the first instruction I1 input by the consumer includes, for example, one of the above-mentioned multiple merchant codes 112, and the message operation module 20 can self-integrate from the message integration platform according to the first instruction I1 and the merchant code comparison table 110. (Or message integration module) 10 to receive a merchant message form 120. That is, consumers can quickly link to the merchant's information page by directly entering the merchant code.

In detail, the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 of this embodiment further includes, for example, a storage unit 130, and the above-mentioned merchant code comparison table 110 and multiple merchant information forms 120 are stored in the storage unit 130. When consumers want to know a specific merchant information, they can directly input the merchant code 112 in the input unit 210 of this embodiment, and then they can connect to the message integration platform 10 by sending a link request signal S1, and The link with the merchant code comparison table 110 assists in receiving the merchant information form 120 to be known. The merchant information form 120 in this embodiment includes, for example, a product information and a payment information, so that the information can be directly browsed by consumers and the payment operation after purchase is performed.

Further, the merchant information integration system 1 of this embodiment may further include a network module 30, and the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 is, for example, an external message integration provided outside the message operation module 20. The platform, for example, is located at a remote location. Therefore, the message operation module 20 is connected to the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 via the network module 30. That is, after the consumer enters the merchant code 112 directly in the input unit 210, the message operation module 20 is connected to, for example, a remotely located message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 via the network module 30 to The merchant information form 120 containing the product information and payment information is obtained by the message integration platform (or message integration module) 10 in real time, and displayed through the display unit 240 for consumers to browse.

In addition, the input unit 210 of this embodiment can also input a second instruction I2, and the processing unit 220 and the transaction unit 250 can receive the second instruction I2 to generate a transaction request signal S2.
