It can be understood that the encryption algorithm may adopt the existing 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard, AES256) or digital signature algorithm.

In this embodiment, after receiving the electronic card information, the charging post 100 first decrypts the electronic card information to obtain the card number and user data. It can be understood that the specific decryption process is adapted to the corresponding encryption algorithm, and the prior art about encryption and decryption will not be introduced in detail here.

After the charging pile 100 obtains the decrypted card number and user data, it sends the card number and user data to the server 300, and the server 300 checks the card number and/or user data to verify whether the electronic card is legal.

Specifically, when registering the electronic card, the electronic card is configured with a card number for reflecting the identity, and records user data, such as user name, ID number or contact information. It can be understood that when the electronic card is registered, the corresponding information of the electronic card is also stored in the server 300 . That is, the electronic card information database is stored in the server 300. When the server 300 receives an electronic card information A, if the corresponding electronic card information A can be found in the electronic card information database according to the card number and/or user data, it means Electronic cards are legal.

In some embodiments, user data also includes balance. It can be understood that the electronic card is equivalent to a recharge card, which can be recharged and renewed on the self-service transfer machine. After charging by swiping the card each time, the billing and metering of the server 300 is used to complete the automatic deduction.

Specifically, when the charging pile 100 starts charging, it feeds back the charging action to the server 300 through a signal, and the server 300 starts charging, and stops charging when the charging pile 100 finishes charging. It can be understood that the charging fee can be calculated according to the electricity consumed during charging. The balance is updated according to the charging fee, that is, the updated balance is the balance before charging minus the charging fee. Then, the server 300 sends the updated balance to the charging pile 100, and the charging pile 100 sends the updated balance to the integrated device 200, and finally, the integrated device 200 writes the updated balance into the electronic card.

In this embodiment, the electronic card is a recharge card. Through the communication connection between the server 300, the charging pile 100 and the integrated device 200, the function of deduction of charge by swiping the card for charging is realized, which makes the payment management of charging more convenient.
