Description

A system for generating a single barcode and verifying the consumption of multiple digital coupons

This creation is about a barcode generation and verification system, especially a system that uses multiple digital coupons to make it more convenient to use multiple digital coupons to generate a single barcode for consumption.

With the diversified development of digital finance and the fact that most of the public have a mobile phone, their consumption patterns have gradually changed. From the previous cash payment or plastic currency payment, mobile payment is replaced by mobile payment. The current mobile payment products , including electronic payments, electronic tickets, and third-party payments, and are divided according to their laws and regulations and their payment channels. Mobile payment is a payment method that combines physical payment tools with mobile devices. In near-end transactions, its Through the exclusive Quick Response Code (Quick Response Code, QR-code) provided by the payment tool in the mobile device or the near-field communication (NFC) technology of the mobile device, the sales end can pass Transactions are completed by swiping barcodes or sensing on mobile devices.

QR Code is the abbreviation of Quick Response Code, because the inventor hopes that QR Code can quickly decode the content, so it is named "Quick Response (Quick Response)". QR Code The invention can be traced back to Japan in 1994. It was invented by Denso Wave, an auto parts company, to track goods on the production line and to allow barcodes to accommodate Japanese kanji and kana information.

The biggest difference from the one-dimensional barcode is that the two-dimensional barcode can carry more data, while the types of information that can be stored in the QR Code include numbers, letters, binary (bytes), and Japanese and Chinese characters. It can be said that the information represented by a one-dimensional barcode is mostly "digital code", and the number is used to identify the product, but QR Code can allow Japanese and Chinese character data to be directly recorded in the barcode, that is, let the barcode represent a sentence, or a String URL.

In addition to being able to record Japanese and Chinese characters, QR Code’s fast recognition speed, 360-degree omnidirectional recognition, high fault tolerance, and smaller footprint make it widely used in product tracking, item identification, file management, etc. aspect. In addition, personal business cards, website logins and other places often see traces of QR Code.

Generally, there are 40 different size versions of the common QR Code. The versions are distinguished according to the storage density and structure. The composition and structure of each QR Code and the amount of information that can be stored are not exactly the same. The size version of the QR Code is marked with "Version". For example, Version 1, that is, Version 1, the QR Code size is 21x21 bits, Version 2 is 25x25 bits, and Version 40 is 177x177 bits. The higher the Version, the QR Code The larger the size of the Code, the more information it can carry.

The early application of the traditional QR Code is mainly to provide information or link to various merchants’ FB and other social networking pages for advertising. Consumer discounts provided; such early applications are mostly limited to marketing promotions such as store FB operating fan groups, or attracting consumers to like.

The development of QR Code applications will accelerate the continuous growth of the mobile payment market. Although consumers only focus on how to use the new payment tools to facilitate their own easy payment and smart life, facing the mobile payment market where hundreds of schools are contending, consumers are bound to be diversified. Among the payment tool options, find out the payment plan that best suits your needs, and this plan must be centered on convenience and safety!

On the other hand, it is a remote transaction, such as an e-commerce online transaction. Consumers need to pay through payment methods limited by the sales side, such as credit card/debit card payment, web pages or additional applications downloaded and installed on mobile phones, etc. But in this way, the sales terminal must be signed and bound with various payment servers one by one before it can be used, and consumers must also use the payment server bound to the sales terminal to make transaction payments, so there are multiple different sales terminals at the same time. And they are respectively bound to different payment servers, and the consumer must install multiple payment servers at the same time, which is very inconvenient for the consumer.

The recent epidemic has gradually cooled down, and various government departments have successively launched various ministries and associations to revitalize the economy. In order to reduce paper waste, digital payment is promoted. Various government departments cooperate with various stores to provide QR codes for applicants to cooperate with the store. You can use the digitally bound Ministry Plus Coupon by scanning the QR Code of the partner store.

However, at present, the digital payment used by each department is matched with different QR Codes, so that stores that cooperate with more than two departments need to prepare multiple QR Codes to match the digital payment methods of different departments.

Based on the above problems, this creation provides a method of generating the same barcode using multiple digital coupons. It is based on standard specifications, can be scanned in common, and has verifiable QR Code to complete consumer payment, which is convenient for the public and stores.

This creation discloses a system for generating a single barcode for the consumption of multiple digital coupons, which includes: a store server; a consumer terminal correspondingly connected to the store server; a first server correspondingly connected to the store terminal server; a second server correspondingly connected to the store server; and an intermediary server correspondingly connected to the first server and the second server; the store server transmits a Send the first barcode request information to the first server; the first server generates a first barcode request information from the first barcode request information, and sends the first barcode request information to the corresponding store server one of the server’s first store-end information and send it to the intermediary server; the intermediary server compares the first store-end information; when the first store-end information does not exist in the intermediary server, the intermediary server according to The first barcode request information generates a first barcode information and sends it to the first server; the first server sends the first barcode information to the store server; the store server according to a second The digital coupon sends a second barcode requirement information for payment to the second server; the second server uses the second barcode requirement information for payment to generate a second barcode requirement information, and combines the second barcode requirement information with the corresponding The second store-end information should be sent to the intermediary server by the store-end server; the intermediary server compares the second store-end information; when the first store-end information is equal to the second store-end information, it will The first barcode information and the second barcode requirement information are integrated to generate common barcode information, which is sent to the second server; and the second server sends the common barcode information to the store server. In this way, this creation allows general stores to collect payment through common barcodes, thereby reducing the problem of stores having to prepare multiple barcodes.
