[0067] Based on the hardware architecture of the above-mentioned digital currency-based payment and collection device, an embodiment of the digital currency-based payment and collection method of the present invention is proposed.

[0068] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the digital currency-based payment method of the present invention, and the digital currency-based payment method includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S10, receiving a payment instruction sent by a digital currency payment terminal.

[0070] Specifically, before receiving the payment instruction sent by the digital currency payment terminal, a payment activation instruction sent by the server can be received to activate the payment function of the digital currency payment terminal; after the payment function is activated, the step of receiving the payment instruction sent by the digital currency payment terminal is executed.

[0071] The digital currency payment terminal receives the payment instruction sent by the digital currency payment terminal. Among them, the digital currency payment terminal can be a payment device of the parking lot, and the digital currency payment terminal can be a user's handheld mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone. The payment instruction is an instruction generated by the digital currency payment terminal, and the payment instruction may include the payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal; the payment instruction may include the vehicle information corresponding to the digital currency payment terminal, and the digital currency payment terminal obtains the payment amount according to the vehicle information; the payment instruction may also include the account information of the digital currency terminal. The payment instruction is sent from the digital currency payment terminal to the digital currency payment terminal by means of near field communication. The near field communication method between the payment terminal and the digital currency payment terminal can be NFC (Near Field Communication, near-field wireless communication technology) induction, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity, wireless broadband) communication connection. In a parking lot with poor network signal, NFC induction or Bluetooth communication connection can be used between the digital currency payment terminal and the digital currency payment terminal.

[0072] Step S20, obtaining the payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal according to the payment instruction.

[0073] Specifically, the digital currency payment terminal obtains the payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal according to the payment instruction. The payment instruction may include the payment amount, or the payment instruction may include vehicle information, and the payment amount is obtained according to the vehicle information.

[0074] Step S30, updating the pre-stored balance information of the digital currency according to the payment amount.

[0075] Specifically, the digital currency receiving terminal updates the balance information of the pre-stored digital currency according to the payment amount paid by the digital currency payment terminal.

[0076] Before the digital currency payment terminal updates the pre-stored digital currency balance information according to the payment amount, it can receive the payment amount sent by the server, wherein the payment amount is determined by the server according to the vehicle information, parking time and pre-designed fee rules of the vehicle. Alternatively, the digital currency payment terminal obtains the vehicle information corresponding to the digital currency payment terminal; obtains the vehicle parking time according to the vehicle information; and determines the payment amount according to the vehicle parking time and pre-designed fee rules.

[0077] Both the server and the digital currency payment terminal can calculate the payment amount. The vehicle information may include the license plate information and vehicle model, etc., and the parking time of the vehicle is obtained based on the vehicle information. The payment amount is determined based on the vehicle parking time and the pre-designed fee rules. Different parking times correspond to different parking fees. For example, if the parking time is less than or equal to 1 hour, the parking fee is 20 yuan, and if the parking time is greater than 1 hour and less than 2 hours, the parking fee is 35 yuan.

[0078] After determining the collection amount of the digital currency receiving terminal, the balance information of the digital currency pre-stored in the digital currency receiving terminal is updated according to the collection amount and the payment amount. If the payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal is greater than or equal to the collection amount of the digital currency receiving terminal, the digital currency receiving terminal updates the balance information of the pre-stored digital currency according to the collection amount.

[0079] After updating the balance information of the digital currency pre-stored in the digital currency payment terminal, a payment record can also be generated, wherein the payment record includes the payment time and payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal and / or the account information of the digital currency terminal, and the payment record is synchronized to the server.

[0080] Step S40, sending the information of successful payment to the server, so that the server can control the gate to release the vehicle or control the gate to output prompt information of successful payment.

[0081] Specifically, after the digital currency payment terminal successfully receives payment, the server controls the gate to release the vehicle, or controls the gate to output a prompt message indicating successful payment. When the network signal is poor, after the digital currency payment terminal successfully receives payment, the digital currency payment terminal can control the gate to release the vehicle, or control the gate to output a prompt message indicating successful payment.

[0082] Furthermore, the management personnel can communicate with the digital currency payment terminal through the management device by means of near field communication, and the management device collects the digital currency from the digital currency payment terminal. The management device obtains the payment operation input by the management personnel, wherein the payment operation includes the payment amount, etc., generates a payment instruction according to the payment operation, and sends the payment instruction to the digital currency payment terminal. The digital currency payment terminal generates a payment instruction and updates the pre-stored digital currency amount of the digital currency payment terminal. The management terminal updates the pre-stored digital currency balance information of the management terminal according to the account information of the digital currency payment terminal.

[0083] In the technical solution of this embodiment, a payment instruction sent by a digital currency payment terminal is received, the payment amount of the digital currency payment terminal is obtained according to the payment instruction, the balance information of the pre-stored digital currency is updated according to the payment amount, and the information of successful payment is sent to the server, so that the server can control the gate to release the vehicle or control the gate to output prompt information of successful payment. The digital currency of the digital currency receiving terminal and the digital currency payment terminal is updated by the payment amount, and the parking fee is paid successfully, avoiding cumbersome payment operations and improving the convenience of the payment method.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second embodiment of the digital currency-based payment method of the present invention, and the digital currency-based payment method includes:

[0085] Step S60, obtaining the payment amount determined by the user;

[0086] Step S70, generating the payment instruction according to the payment amount and the account information of the digital currency payment terminal;

[0087] Step S80, sending the payment instruction to the digital currency payment terminal, so that the digital currency payment terminal receives the payment according to the payment instruction;

[0088] Step S90, updating the pre-stored balance information of the digital currency according to the payment amount.

[0089] Specifically, the digital currency payment terminal is a user's handheld mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, and the digital currency payment terminal can be a payment device in a parking lot. The payment amount determined by the user is obtained, and a payment instruction is generated according to the payment amount and the account information of the digital currency terminal. The payment instruction is sent to the digital currency payment terminal, and the digital currency payment terminal collects the payment according to the payment instruction. The digital currency payment terminal updates its digital currency balance information according to the payment amount.

[0090] Before the digital currency payment terminal generates a payment instruction based on the payment amount and account information, the payment amount is displayed on the digital currency payment terminal. After the user confirms the payment, that is, after detecting the user's confirmation payment operation, the digital currency payment terminal generates a payment instruction based on the payment amount and account information.

[0091] Before the digital currency payment terminal updates the pre-stored digital currency balance information according to the payment amount, it determines whether the account balance of the digital currency payment terminal is greater than the payment amount; if the account balance of the digital currency payment terminal is greater than or equal to the collection amount, the payment instruction is generated according to the payment amount and the account information of the digital currency payment terminal; if the account balance of the digital currency payment terminal is less than the collection amount, indicating insufficient balance, a prompt message of payment failure is output.

[0092] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the payment amount determined by the user is obtained, a payment instruction is generated according to the payment amount and the account information of the digital currency payment terminal, and the payment instruction is sent to the digital currency payment terminal, so that the digital currency payment terminal can collect the payment according to the payment instruction, and the balance information of the pre-stored digital currency is updated according to the payment amount. The payment instruction enables the digital currency of the digital currency payment terminal and the digital currency payment terminal to be updated, and the parking fee is successfully paid, avoiding cumbersome payment operations and improving the convenience of the payment method.

[0093] The present invention also provides a digital currency-based payment and collection device, which includes a memory, a processor, and a digital currency-based payment and collection program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the digital currency-based payment and collection program is executed by the processor, the various steps of the digital currency-based payment and collection method described in the above embodiment are implemented.

[0094] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a digital currency-based payment program. When the digital currency-based payment program is executed by a processor, it implements the various steps of the digital currency-based payment method described in the above embodiment.
