[0001] The present invention relates to the field of motor vehicles, and in particular to a method and device for issuing a motor vehicle invoice. Background Art

[0002] After the car is sold, it is usually necessary to issue a corresponding motor vehicle invoice for vehicle insurance, vehicle registration, vehicle subsidies and other vehicle-related matters. As the scale of the automobile industry continues to expand, the amount of motor vehicle invoices issued is also increasing. At present, when electronic motor vehicle invoices have not yet been fully popularized, there is a huge demand for the issuance of paper motor vehicle invoices.

[0003] The process of issuing motor vehicle invoices usually involves inputting vehicle information, printing invoices and stamping. In related technologies, the above-mentioned issuance process usually requires a high degree of participation of relevant personnel, such as manual input of vehicle information, manual paper insertion, printing and stamping, etc., and the management process of invoices and seals is not standardized. On the one hand, blank motor vehicle invoices may be scattered everywhere after being collected from the tax bureau, and the management mode of storage and retrieval is relatively extensive, with risks such as invoice loss and theft; on the other hand, the current management of physical seals used for stamping is mainly human-based, and the use process is often lacking in standardization, which poses a greater risk of seal use. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method and device for issuing a motor vehicle invoice to solve the deficiencies in the related art.

[0005] Specifically, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for issuing a motor vehicle invoice is provided, which is applied to a self-service invoicing terminal, wherein a pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice is placed in the self-service invoicing terminal and a physical seal of a sales-related institution is installed in the stamping area, and the method comprises:

[0007] In response to an invoice printing request initiated for a target motor vehicle, determining content information of the invoice to be printed according to sales data of the target motor vehicle, the sales data being generated by a sales event of the target motor vehicle;

[0008] Printing the invoice content information at a preset position on the blank motor vehicle invoice, and outputting the printed complete motor vehicle invoice;

[0009] When it is determined that the object to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice, the complete motor vehicle invoice is stamped using the physical stamp.

[0010] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a device for issuing motor vehicle invoices is provided, which is applied to a self-service invoicing terminal, wherein a pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice is placed in the self-service invoicing terminal and a physical seal of a sales-related institution is installed in the stamping area, and the device comprises:

[0011] an information determination unit, configured to, in response to an invoice printing request initiated for a target motor vehicle, determine content information of the invoice to be printed according to sales data of the target motor vehicle, the sales data being generated by a sales event of the target motor vehicle;

[0012] An invoice printing unit, used to print the invoice content information at a preset position on the blank motor vehicle invoice, and output a printed complete motor vehicle invoice;

[0013] The invoice stamping unit is used to trigger the use of the physical stamp to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice when it is determined that the object to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0014] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0015] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a control module and other modules are provided, wherein the control module includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and through the cooperation between the control module and the other modules, the processor implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect when executing the program.

[0029] The present invention proposes a method for issuing a motor vehicle invoice through a self-service invoicing terminal, aiming to achieve standardized management of blank motor vehicle invoices and physical seals and self-service issuance of motor vehicle invoices. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the architecture of a self-service invoicing system shown in the embodiment disclosed in the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the system may include a network 10 , a self-service ticketing terminal 11 , a server 15 , and several electronic devices, such as a mobile phone 12 , a mobile phone 13 , and a mobile phone 14 .

[0031] Among them, the server 15 can run a server program, so that the server is implemented as a server. The self-service invoicing terminal 11 and any mobile phone can respectively run corresponding client programs, so that they themselves are implemented as clients. In the present invention, through the interaction between the client and the server, the system can realize the issuance of motor vehicle invoices and related functions. Among them, the above-mentioned client program can be pre-installed on the self-service invoicing terminal 11 or a terminal device such as a mobile phone, so that the client can be started and run on the corresponding terminal device; of course, when using an online "client" (such as an H5 page) such as HTML5 technology, there is no need to install the corresponding application on the terminal device to obtain and run the client.

[0032] The network 10 may include various types of wired or wireless networks. The self-service ticketing terminal 11 and the mobile phone 12 may be connected to the server 15 respectively, so as to interact with each other through the server; or the mobile phone 12 may be directly connected to the self-service ticketing terminal 11, such as the mobile phone 12 may be directly connected to the self-service ticketing terminal 11 through a near field method such as Wifi, Bluetooth (Blue Tooth), Zigbee, NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., which will not be described in detail.

[0033] In addition, the server 15 may be a physical server including an independent host, or the server 15 may be a virtual server carried by a host cluster, a cloud server, etc. The mobile phones 12 to 14 are just one type of electronic device that the user can use. In fact, the user may also use electronic devices such as tablet devices, laptop computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), wearable devices (such as smart glasses, smart watches, etc.), VR (Virtual Reality) devices, AR (Augmented Reality) devices, etc., and one or more embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

[0034] Above Figure 1 This is just a brief introduction to the structure of the self-service invoicing system. Figure 2 A detailed exemplary introduction to the internal structure of the system is given.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the client 201 used by the user includes a self-service invoicing terminal and an electronic device (such as a mobile phone, etc.), and the client 201 can be connected to the server 202. According to different applications running in the client, the self-service invoicing system can adopt a C / S (Client-Server) architecture or a B / S (Broswer-Server) architecture. Taking the C / S architecture as an example, the server 202 can be deployed using the Docker architecture.

[0036] The server 202 may include multiple functional modules. Exemplarily, it may include a registration center, and the user may communicate with the server 202 through the electronic device used by the user to register the user identity used in the self-service invoicing system in the registration center. It may also include product basic services (used to provide basic services to the client), platform message services (used to provide message publishing, unified message push and other services to the client), scheduled task services (used to provide scheduled tasks to the client or system functional modules), report statistics services (used to formulate statistical plans, count invoice-related transactions and generate reports, etc.) and authentication services (combined with the identity information of the registration center to formulate permissions and authenticate users and related services they call), etc.

[0037] The server 202 may also include an API (Application Programming Interface) docking service, which is used to dock with the functional interface provided by the associated system of the self-service invoicing system so as to call the corresponding external service. In order to perform data isolation and security protection when the internal module of the server 202 communicates with the external network environment, the server 202 may also include a gateway (also known as an internetwork connector or protocol converter). For example, the API docking service can achieve isolated connection with each service system in the docking system 205 through the gateway to ensure the safety and reliability of the interaction process. In particular, the docking system 205 may include an invoicing system, a tax system, a sales system, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system, etc.; of course, it may also include a voice recognition system, a video analysis system (not shown in the figure), etc., which will not be repeated.

[0038] In addition, the server 202 is also connected to a database for providing data storage service 203. In order to achieve efficient storage of data, the database can use Redis Mango or Database (MySQL programming language can be used). The relevant files generated during the operation of the server 202 can be managed and maintained by the file server. For example, the file server can provide file services 204 such as file transfer and file online preview to the server 202, which will not be repeated.

[0039] It should be noted that the above-mentioned server 202 is only exemplary. In the actual application of this solution, the server 202 may also have other necessary functional modules to realize related functions. In addition, in order to realize the high availability of the server 202 and avoid functional damage, the server 202 may also be deployed in multiple sets in the form of "primary and standby", which will not be described in detail.

[0040] The method for issuing a motor vehicle invoice according to the present invention is implemented by a self-service invoicing terminal. Figure 3 The hardware structure of the terminal is introduced as an example. Figure 3 As shown, the self-service ticketing terminal 300 may be equipped with the following functional modules:

[0041] The main control screen 302 can be used only to display information, such as displaying that the self-service ticketing terminal 300 can also be equipped with hardware such as a keyboard and a mouse to facilitate user input of commands; or, in order to facilitate user operation and simplify terminal accessories and enhance the overall aesthetics of the self-service ticketing terminal 300, the main control screen 302 can also be a touch screen, that is, it has both information display and command input functions, so that users can input commands through the touch screen.

[0042] The barcode scanner 303 is used to scan the graphic code (such as a QR code, barcode, etc.) displayed by the user. For example, the user can display the QR code of his / her account to the barcode scanner 303 through his / her mobile phone so as to log in to the self-service invoicing terminal 300 by scanning the code; or after completing the invoice issuance, the user can display the payment code to the barcode scanner 303 to pay the relevant fees of the self-service invoicing service.

[0043] The printing ticket outlet 304 is used to output the printed complete motor vehicle invoice. The self-service invoicing terminal 300 may also be equipped with a blank invoice input port at an appropriate position (such as the back of the terminal) so that the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal 300 can input the pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice (such as received from the tax bureau) into the preset position of the self-service invoicing terminal 300 through the input port for subsequent printing.

[0044] The image capture window 307 may be equipped with a high-definition camera (or speed camera), camera or other capture module at an appropriate position above the window to capture images of items placed in the window. For example, for a complete motor vehicle invoice output after printing, the user may place it at an appropriate position in the image capture window 307 so that the image capture module may capture a high-definition image of the invoice (i.e., the second image hereinafter).

[0045] The physical seal 310 and the stamping area 311, for the complete motor vehicle invoice output after printing, the user can place it in a suitable position in the stamping area 311, so that the self-service invoicing terminal 300, when determining that the invoice is the complete motor vehicle invoice, triggers the use of the physical seal 310 to stamp the invoice. Alternatively, the user can also manually separate the complete motor vehicle invoice, and place the copy that needs to be stamped after the separation (such as the second copy of the six-copy motor vehicle invoice, etc.) in a suitable position in the stamping area 311, and the self-service invoicing terminal 300, when determining that the copy belongs to the complete motor vehicle invoice, triggers the use of the physical seal 310 to stamp the copy. Among them, the physical seal 310 can be managed by the locking module in state, so as to control the seal to be suitable for stamping, and realize the effective management of the seal use process. Moreover, the number of physical seals assembled in the self-service invoicing terminal 300 may be one or more, and the specific use process can be referred to the following embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0046] In addition, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag may be provided inside or on the surface of the physical seal 310, and a corresponding RFID reader may be provided at a suitable position in the stamping area 311. The stamp identification of the physical seal 310 may be pre-written in the RFID tag, and the RFID reader may read the stamp identification through electromagnetic signals to identify the identity of the physical seal placed in the stamping area 311. For accurate identification, the RFID reader may be provided at a position close to the RFID tag, such as when a stamp groove for placing the physical seal 310 is provided in the physical seal 310, if the RFID tag is provided at the bottom of the physical seal 310, the RFID reader may be provided in the stamp groove. As mentioned above, the self-service ticketing terminal 300 may be provided with one or more physical seals, each of which may be provided with an RFID tag; accordingly, one or more RFID readers corresponding to these physical seals may be provided, such as a corresponding RFID reader may be provided for each physical seal, or an RFID reader whose sensing range covers all physical seals may be provided.

[0047] The self-service invoicing terminal 300 can locally record the seal identification of each physical seal 310 equipped with it (such as adding these seal identifications to a locally maintained white list to set these seal identifications as legal seal identifications). Based on this, after the user completes stamping with the physical seal 310, the terminal can detect the RFID tag through the RFID reader and identify the seal identification recorded therein, and determine whether there is a physical seal returned to its original position and whether the physical seal returned to its original position is a legal seal identification recorded in the white list based on the detection and identification results. Of course, in the case of multiple physical seals, it can further determine whether the method and position of each seal are correct, which seal information is incorrect, etc. In addition, at an appropriate time before or after the user stamps, or when it is detected that the user has logged out of the account (i.e. logged out, indicating that the user has completed the stamping), the user can be reminded to put the physical seal 310 back to its original position after the stamping is completed by playing voice or displaying text; it is also possible to perform alarm processing when it is detected that the physical seal (seal identification) put back to its original position is not a legal seal identification recorded in the whitelist (at this time the legal seal is likely to be lost or replaced), such as sending text messages or in-APP messages to the terminal operator, so as to remind the operator that an unexpected event of seal loss or replacement has occurred, and the operator can intervene in time to handle it.

[0048] The 5 / 6 copy storage box 305 is used to store the 5th and 6th copies of the six-copy motor vehicle invoice after the invoice is divided; the 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312 is used to store the 1st, 3rd and 4th copies of the six-copy motor vehicle invoice after the invoice is divided. The single copy storage box 306 can be multiple in number, and any single copy storage box 306 can be used by any user to store the complete motor vehicle invoice printed and stamped by the user or any copy after the invoice is divided. The abnormal invoice storage box 313 is used to store expired, returned or invalid invoices. Among them, each of the above storage boxes can be equipped with an image acquisition module and / or a quantity counting device to perform image acquisition and / or quantity counting on the corresponding invoice or copy. Exemplarily, the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305 can adopt an entrance in the form of a scanner, and allow the user to put in a fifth copy or a sixth copy from the entrance each time, and scan it while putting it in to achieve image acquisition and archiving, which will not be repeated.

[0049] In addition, for each of the above-mentioned storage boxes, especially the 5 / 6-copy storage box 305, the 1 / 3 / 4-copy storage box 312 and the abnormal invoice storage box 313 that need to place multiple invoices, in order to avoid the stored invoices being too messy, an anti-scattering device (such as a guide slide, a vertically movable invoice receiving plate, etc.) can be set in the storage box to limit the movement trajectory of the invoice in the storage box and prevent it from falling in disorder, thereby controlling the invoices to be stored neatly in order in the storage box, so that users do not need to spend energy on sorting after taking out multiple invoices at one time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] The logistics bill outlet 308 is used to output the printed logistics bill. The user can post the logistics bill on the parcel to be delivered (which contains a complete motor vehicle invoice or some copies thereof) to achieve self-service packaging of the invoice to be delivered. The user can place the parcels that have been packaged and posted with the logistics bill in the parcel storage box 309 so that the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal 300 or the relevant personnel of the logistics organization can take them from them in a centralized manner, thereby improving the parcel management and delivery efficiency.

[0051] The self-service ticketing terminal 300 may also be equipped with a camera 301 for photographing the surrounding environment or the operating behavior of relevant personnel during the operation of the self-service ticketing terminal 300. The photographed images or video footage may be archived for inspection according to preset rules, and may also be detected in real time by the self-service ticketing terminal 300 or uploaded to the server for real-time detection, so as to promptly determine whether there are any environmental or behavioral abnormalities, thereby achieving effective supervision of the self-service ticketing terminal 300 during operation.

[0052] In addition, the back or side of the self-service invoicing terminal 300 may be provided with an openable and lockable maintenance door panel (not shown in the figure), and the locking structure of the door panel may be controlled by the control system of the self-service invoicing terminal 300. Exemplarily, the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal may have the operation (or management) authority for the terminal. After the operator swipes the card to log in to the self-service invoicing terminal 300, the operator may perform corresponding operations on the main control screen to control the locking mechanism to open the door panel. After the door panel is opened, the operator may perform routine maintenance (such as replenishing blank invoices, blank logistics bills, ink and other consumables of the physical seal 310) or fault repair (such as replacing damaged components) inside the terminal, which will not be repeated. Among them, during the normal operation of the self-service invoicing terminal 300, based on the total amount of blank invoices and / or the amount of new printing ink inserted each time, as well as the number of printed invoices counted, the terminal can predict the number of remaining blank invoices and / or the amount of remaining printing ink, and promptly remind the operator to replenish them without the need for the operator to actively open the door panel to check, which helps to improve the operating efficiency of the terminal.

[0053] In addition, considering that the self-service ticketing terminal 300 is usually placed near a wall or in a corner, and the space on the back or side of the terminal is limited, the door panel can be set to be foldable or push-pull to ensure that the door panel can be opened smoothly and save the space occupied by the terminal.

[0054] It should be noted that Figure 3 The structure of the self-service ticketing terminal 300 shown is only exemplary. In the specific implementation of the self-service ticketing terminal 300, the size, position and function of each module can be appropriately adjusted, or modules or functions can be added or deleted as needed, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0055] Combine the following Figure 4 The method for issuing a motor vehicle invoice according to the present invention is described in detail. Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for issuing a motor vehicle invoice according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to a self-service invoicing terminal (such as Figure 3 The self-service invoicing terminal 300 shown in the figure has a pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice placed in it and a stamping area equipped with a physical stamp of a sales-related organization. Specifically, the following steps 402-406 may be included.

[0056] Step 402, in response to an invoice printing request initiated for a target motor vehicle, determining content information of the invoice to be printed according to sales data of the target motor vehicle, wherein the sales data is generated by a sales event of the target motor vehicle.

[0057] First of all, it should be noted that the target motor vehicle can be any type of motor vehicle. For example, if classified by power type, it can be a fuel vehicle, an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, etc.; if classified by purpose, it can be a passenger car, a commercial vehicle, etc. The present invention does not limit the specific type of the target motor vehicle, and its brand, size and other specific information.

[0058] The sales event of the target motor vehicle includes the entire process from the purchaser placing an order to picking up the vehicle, which may include ordering, payment and delivery. The above process will generate corresponding sales data, such as order generation time, purchase amount, purchaser information, vehicle information, delivery time, etc. It is worth noting that the present invention does not limit the sales model of the target motor vehicle, such as the agency sales model, such as the purchaser completing the entire process of selecting a car, placing an order, paying and picking up the car through the 4S store system; or the direct sales model can also be adopted, such as the purchaser placing an order online and paying a deposit, and then going to the vehicle delivery center to complete the payment of the balance and the process of picking up the car. The following is an exemplary description of the direct sales model. In addition, the purchaser of the present invention can be an individual (natural person) or an institution (such as an organization, company, etc.), and the present invention does not limit this.

[0059] The self-service invoicing terminal described in the present invention can be placed in a delivery location, such as a 4S store or a delivery center. For motor vehicles sold by sales-related institutions, relevant delivery personnel (such as car buyers, delivery personnel and / or sales personnel, etc.) can complete the delivery process of the vehicle in the location. Of course, the delivery location can provide the self-service invoicing terminal with the required venue, electricity, network and other resources. The self-service invoicing terminal can be maintained by personnel in the delivery location, hereinafter referred to as the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal. Exemplarily, the operator can be a pre-designated financial personnel, sales personnel or delivery personnel (i.e., the staff of the delivery center responsible for motor vehicle delivery) in the delivery location, etc., and of course it can also be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0060] The self-service invoicing terminal is equipped with a physical seal of a sales-related organization. The motor vehicle sales organization can be the seller of the motor vehicle in the sales event, that is, the sales organization (or sales unit) that needs to be recorded in the blank motor vehicle invoice and the complete motor vehicle invoice below. The motor vehicle sales organization should have the sales qualification of the target motor vehicle, such as the 4S store or its affiliated motor vehicle sales unit, or the delivery center or its affiliated vehicle brand, etc. In addition, the number of the physical seals can be one or more, such as the financial seal (or financial seal) and / or sales seal of the motor vehicle sales organization, etc., and can also include the name signature of the relevant personnel, etc., which will not be repeated.

[0061] The operator can place the pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice obtained from the tax agency (such as the tax bureau of the region where the delivery site is located) in the corresponding position (such as Figure 3 The blank invoice is stored in a blank invoice storage box on the back of the ticket outlet 304 as shown in the figure) so that the self-service invoicing terminal can print and process it later. It can be seen that the pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoice is a standard invoice that complies with relevant regulations and has its specific format. Among them, the operator can sequentially put multiple blank motor vehicle invoices into the self-service invoicing terminal in a preset order. The preset order can be the order of the invoice codes and invoice numbers of these blank motor vehicle invoices or a specific order pre-specified by the motor vehicle sales agency.

[0062] After the vehicle is sold (such as it has been successfully delivered to the buyer), an invoice can be issued for it, which can be used for subsequent vehicle insurance, vehicle license plate, vehicle subsidy, reimbursement of vehicle purchase money and other vehicle-related matters. In this regard, for the target motor vehicle that has been sold (it can be any motor vehicle that has been sold), the relevant personnel (hereinafter referred to as the user) can initiate an invoice printing request for the vehicle to the self-service invoicing terminal to trigger the terminal to cooperate in completing the self-service invoicing process for the target motor vehicle. Among them, the user can be the aforementioned car buyer, salesperson or delivery person, etc. In one embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal can receive the invoice printing request initiated for the target motor vehicle in a variety of ways.

[0063] For example, when a user logs in to the self-service invoicing terminal, the terminal can display the corresponding invoicable vehicle information list for the user. For example, when the user is a car buyer (such as a natural person or a representative of the car buyer), the list can include motor vehicles purchased by the car buyer (or the car buyer he represents). And when the user is a delivery person, the list can include each motor vehicle that the delivery person has participated in delivering. Of course, each motor vehicle in the above-mentioned invoicable vehicle information list should be a motor vehicle that meets the invoicing conditions (such as the corresponding car purchase event mentioned above has been completed) but has not yet been invoiced; and any motor vehicle in the list can specifically display the vehicle information, car buyer information, etc. of the vehicle, so that the user can view and avoid selection errors. Figure 3 As shown, the invoicable vehicle information list can be displayed in the main control screen 302 for the user to view.

[0064] At this time, the user can view the displayed information and, if confirmed, implement a print trigger operation for at least one of the target invoicable vehicle information, such as clicking the "Print Invoice" button after selecting the at least one target invoicable vehicle information. Accordingly, the self-service invoicing terminal can determine that the invoice printing request initiated for the target motor vehicle represented by the target invoicable vehicle information has been received when the print trigger operation is detected; in other words, the terminal can determine the motor vehicle represented by the at least one target invoicable vehicle information as the target motor vehicle in response to the detected print trigger operation, and determine that the invoice printing request initiated for these target motor vehicles has been received. In this way, the user can complete the above operation next to the self-service invoicing terminal, thereby realizing self-service printing of invoices.

[0065] For another example, the user can also log in in the electronic device (such as a mobile phone) used by the user. At this time, the electronic device can obtain the invoicable vehicle information list corresponding to the user from the service end or the self-service invoicing terminal and display the list to the user. Thus, the user can view the displayed information and implement a print trigger operation for at least one of the target invoicable vehicle information if it is correct; accordingly, the electronic device can determine the motor vehicle represented by the at least one target invoicable vehicle information as the target motor vehicle when the operation is detected, and initiate the invoice printing request for these target motor vehicles to the self-service invoicing terminal. In this way, the user can trigger the self-service invoicing terminal to complete the invoice printing without reaching the vicinity of the self-service invoicing terminal, and the user can reach the vicinity of the self-service invoicing terminal after the printing is completed to take the complete motor vehicle invoice output by it, so that when the user is not convenient to operate or wait near the self-service invoicing terminal, this method can effectively improve the user's operating efficiency. In order to avoid the user arriving near the self-service invoicing terminal and not completing the printing, the self-service invoicing terminal can also send a prompt message to the electronic device after the printing is completed, so that the electronic device accurately prompts the user that the invoice printing is completed.

[0066] It is understandable that the user logs in to the user account corresponding to himself. Before the user logs in to the self-service invoicing terminal or electronic device for the first time, the self-service invoicing terminal or electronic device can communicate with the server to pre-register the corresponding user account at the registration center so as to complete the login to the account later. Alternatively, a user account can be automatically created for the user when the user logs in for the first time to simplify the user's registration operation and improve the user's invoice printing efficiency and login experience.

[0067] In addition, in addition to the account name and password of the login account, the server can also maintain security information pre-set by the user, such as security questions and answers, and / or biometric features such as fingerprints, irises, and voiceprints, so as to further verify the identity of the user applying for login through these security information, thereby preventing illegal users from using the credentials of legal users (work badges, mobile phones, etc.) to log in illegally, and effectively ensuring the legitimacy of the logged-in users. The "legal users" and "illegal users" described in the present invention are used to indicate whether the relevant information of the logged-in account is pre-registered on the server and whether the account logged in by the server corresponds to the actual user who performs the login behavior, and are not legal or illegal at the legal level. This is hereby explained.

[0068] As mentioned above, the user who logs in to the self-service invoicing terminal may be a salesperson or a delivery person (a legitimate user of the self-service invoicing terminal), etc., and the delivery place where the self-service invoicing terminal is located may be an open or semi-open space. In addition to the above-mentioned users, there may be other people in the place (illegal users of the self-service invoicing terminal). In this regard, in order to avoid the invalid operation of the self-service invoicing terminal by the above-mentioned other personnel affecting the normal operation of the legitimate user, the illegal user can be restricted from logging in to the self-service invoicing terminal. For example, when a user logs in to the self-service invoicing terminal, the terminal can respond to the user's login request and determine whether the user has the login permission of the self-service invoicing terminal according to the personnel structure information of the preset organization: if the personnel structure information indicates that the user has the login permission of the self-service invoicing terminal (at this time, the user is the aforementioned legitimate user), the user is triggered to complete the login; on the contrary, if the user does not have the login permission (at this time, the user is the aforementioned illegal user), the user is avoided from being triggered to complete the login, that is, the user is denied login. The preset organization may be the sales-related organization, and the recognition structure information of the organization may be pre-stored locally in the self-service invoicing terminal or pre-stored in the server, and temporarily obtained from the server by the self-service invoicing terminal in response to the login request.

[0069] It is understandable that the delivery location (such as a 4S store, delivery center, etc.) where the self-service invoicing terminal is located is usually strongly related to the motor vehicle sales organization (to which the seal entity belongs), such as the motor vehicle sales organization is located at the delivery location, or the delivery location is a fixed asset of the motor vehicle sales organization, etc. In this regard, the aforementioned salesperson or delivery person may also belong to the motor vehicle sales organization, that is, the user may be a staff member of the motor vehicle sales organization. At this time, the preset organizational structure for which the personnel structure information needs to be obtained may be the motor vehicle sales organization, that is, the self-service invoicing terminal can obtain the personnel structure information of the motor vehicle sales organization, so as to determine whether the user requesting login has login authority based on the information.

[0070] As mentioned above, the sales event of any motor vehicle may include the delivery event of the motor vehicle. In this regard, the invoicable motor vehicles corresponding to the invoicable vehicle information list corresponding to the user may include the first category of invoicable motor vehicles, and the delivery events of this category of motor vehicles are participated in by the user. In other words, after the user completes the login, the invoicable motor vehicles corresponding to the invoicable vehicle information list displayed to the user by the self-service invoicing terminal or electronic device include the motor vehicles that the user himself participated in delivering. At this time, the user can issue invoices for these motor vehicles that he participated in delivering.

[0071] Alternatively, the invoicable motor vehicle may also include a second type of invoicable motor vehicle, the delivery event of which is participated in by the associated user of the user, and the user has the invoicing authority granted by the associated user for the second type of invoicable motor vehicle. At this time, the associated user of the user can delegate the authorization of the motor vehicle in which he / she participates in the delivery to the user, so that the user can issue invoices on his / her behalf. In this way, the associated user can delegate the invoicing authority of all or part of the motor vehicles in which he / she participates in the delivery to the user (the user currently has the conditions to go to the vicinity of the self-service invoicing terminal to issue invoices) when it is inconvenient for the associated user to issue invoices through the self-service invoicing terminal (such as the associated user is not currently in the delivery location where the self-service invoicing terminal is located, or is currently participating in other affairs in the location and has no time to go to the vicinity of the self-service invoicing terminal to issue invoices), so that the user can issue invoices for these motor vehicles instead of its associated user, thereby improving the efficiency of invoicing in this scenario. Among them, the above-mentioned re-authorization can be completed by the associated user in the electronic device used by the associated user; of course, if necessary, the above-mentioned re-authorization can be completed after the user's confirmation, so as to ensure that the user can complete the self-service invoicing in sequence as much as possible; and / or, the above-mentioned re-authorization can also be completed after the confirmation of a third-party user (other than the user and its associated users) (such as the leader or other management personnel of the user and its associated users, etc.), so as to ensure that the third-party user is fully informed and authorized of the re-authorization process, thereby avoiding subsequent liability disputes.

[0072] In the case where an invoice printing request initiated for a target motor vehicle is obtained in the aforementioned manner, the self-service invoicing terminal can determine the sales data of the target motor vehicle, and determine the content information of the invoice to be printed based on the data. For example, the vehicle information to be printed of the target motor vehicle can be used as its sales data; or the sales data can be requested and obtained from the service end based on the vehicle identification information of the target motor vehicle. Further, the invoice content information can be extracted from the sales data, such as the purchaser information (purchaser name, taxpayer identification number / unified social credit code / identity card number, etc.), motor vehicle information (vehicle type, brand model, place of origin, certificate number, import certificate number, commodity inspection number, engine number, vehicle identification code / frame number, price and tax total, tonnage, number of passengers, etc.), sales-related agency information (sales unit name, telephone number, taxpayer identification number, account number, address, bank account, etc.), and the user's identity information (invoice issuer name, etc.). And / or, the sales data of the target motor vehicle may also be sent to a pre-associated tax system, and the invoice content information generated and issued by the tax system based on the sales data may be received, such as machine-printed code / machine-printed number / machine number, tax control code, etc.

[0073] Given that people are paying more and more attention to their own privacy data, in some cases, sensitive issues such as data ownership or disclosure scope may be involved. It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) of any user involved in the present invention are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by relevant parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions, and provide corresponding operation portals for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0074] Step 204, printing the invoice content information at a preset position of the blank motor vehicle invoice, and outputting a printed complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0075] It is understandable that the invoice content information of the target motor vehicle determined in the above manner is the information that needs to be printed on the blank motor vehicle invoice. At this time, the self-service invoicing terminal can control the printing module installed inside it to place the blank motor vehicle invoice in the printing position, print the invoice content information at the preset position of the blank motor vehicle invoice, and then output the printed complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0076] Among them, the printing module installed inside the self-service invoicing terminal can be modified by a dot matrix printer to achieve one-time printing of multi-copy invoices; or, if the printing method of the blank motor vehicle invoice supports it, it can also be modified by a laser printer or an inkjet printer, which will not be repeated here.

[0077] As mentioned above, blank motor vehicle invoices are placed in the self-service invoicing terminal. In one embodiment, each blank motor vehicle invoice placed is used to print the corresponding invoice content in a preset order. For example, a plurality of blank motor vehicle invoices placed in order according to the invoice number are used to print the invoice content information of different motor vehicles in the order of placement (i.e., the order of the invoice number); in other words, in the process of the self-service invoicing terminal printing the corresponding invoice content information for different motor vehicles in sequence, the plurality of blank motor vehicle invoices are sequentially input into the printing module and the corresponding complete motor vehicle invoice is output.

[0078] In order to avoid that each blank motor vehicle invoice is not put into the self-service invoicing terminal in a preset order (caused by negligence of the operator or pre-printing error, etc.), the self-service invoicing terminal can verify the corresponding blank motor vehicle invoice before printing the invoice content information of any motor vehicle. Taking the target motor vehicle as an example, for the first blank motor vehicle invoice that needs to print the corresponding invoice content information after the current moment, the self-service invoicing terminal can extract the basic invoice information of the first blank motor vehicle invoice; then determine whether the basic invoice information meets the preset rules, and then print the invoice content information at the preset position of the first blank motor vehicle invoice if it meets the preset rules. Wherein, the preset rules can be the aforementioned preset order, at this time, the self-service invoicing terminal can compare the basic invoice information of the first blank motor vehicle invoice with the basic invoice information of the last blank motor vehicle invoice that has been printed before the current moment (the information can be extracted before printing the last blank motor vehicle invoice): if the two information meet the above preset order (the invoice number of the last blank motor vehicle invoice is greater than the invoice number of the first blank motor vehicle invoice and the two invoice numbers are adjacent), it can be determined that the basic invoice information of the first blank motor vehicle invoice meets the preset rules. At this time, the invoice content information of the target motor vehicle is triggered to be printed at the preset position of the first blank motor vehicle invoice, so as to ensure that the target motor vehicle and the previous motor vehicle are respectively printed with adjacent blank motor vehicle invoices to print complete motor vehicle invoices (the invoice numbers of the two complete motor vehicle invoices are "consecutive"), thereby avoiding financial loopholes or audit risks that may be caused by discontinuous invoice numbers, and improving the standardization of the invoice issuance process and the reliability of subsequent invoice management.

[0079] Among them, the self-service invoicing terminal can extract the basic invoice information of the first blank motor vehicle invoice in a variety of ways. Taking the invoice number as an example, when the printing module is associated with a camera, the camera can be called to take an image of the invoice; or when the printing module is associated with a scanner, the scanner can be called to scan the invoice to obtain its image. Then the image is recognized by OCR technology, and the invoice number is extracted from the recognition result. For another example, each blank motor vehicle invoice in an improved form can be pre-printed with a corresponding identity graphic code (such as a QR code, a barcode, etc.). For this, when the printing module is associated with a code scanning module, the code scanning module can be called to scan the identity graphic code in the invoice to obtain a code value, and the code value can be parsed locally or sent to the server for parsing to obtain a corresponding decoding result, and then the invoice number can be extracted from the decoding result. For another example, each further improved blank motor vehicle invoice can also include an electronic identity identifier such as an NFC chip, so that the printing module can also be associated with a corresponding chip recognition module to identify the invoice number of the current blank motor vehicle invoice recorded in the electronic identity identifier by sensing the electronic identity identifier through a near-field signal.

[0080] After the printing process of the blank motor vehicle invoice is completed, the blank motor vehicle invoice becomes a complete motor vehicle invoice (with the invoice content information printed on it). At this time, the self-service invoicing terminal can output the printed complete motor vehicle invoice, such as controlling the printing module to output the invoice. Figure 3 As shown, the printing module can be installed at a suitable position behind the printing ticket outlet 304 (inside the self-service ticketing terminal), so that the complete motor vehicle invoice printed by the printing module can be transferred to the printing ticket outlet 304 by the internal transmission components for the user to take.

[0081] At this time, the user can take the complete motor vehicle invoice for stamping. Of course, before putting the complete motor vehicle invoice into the stamping area for stamping, the user can also check whether the content printed in the invoice is correct, whether the handwriting is clear, etc. In the case of an error in the check, the user can cancel the invoice. For example, the main control screen 302 of the self-service invoicing terminal can be used to control it to request the service end to cancel the invoice, wherein the user can manually enter the invoice number and other information of the complete motor vehicle invoice to specify the invoice to be canceled to the self-service invoicing terminal; or the user can also specify the complete motor vehicle invoice in the invoice printing record. In addition, the user can place the invoice in the image shooting window 307 to shoot an image, so that the self-service invoicing terminal can archive the captured image of the invoice to be canceled. After determining the complete motor vehicle invoice to be canceled, the self-service invoicing terminal can initiate a cancellation request for the invoice to the service end, so that the service end can cancel the invoice through interaction with the invoicing system and / or the tax system. It is understandable that the invalidated invoice will not be able to be used for subsequent vehicle-related matters such as vehicle insurance, vehicle registration, vehicle subsidy, and vehicle purchase reimbursement.

[0082] After the above-mentioned cancellation is completed, the self-service invoicing terminal can output the cancellation result returned by the service end to the user, such as displaying the cancellation result in text or image form through the main control screen 302, or broadcasting the above-mentioned cancellation result by voice through the speaker installed by itself. Of course, the printing and cancellation of the above-mentioned complete motor vehicle invoice can also be pushed by the self-service invoicing terminal or the service end to the electronic device used by the user, so as to facilitate its viewing, archiving, etc. In addition, after the above-mentioned cancellation process is completed, the self-service invoicing terminal can also input prompt information to prompt the user to put the complete motor vehicle invoice after cancellation into the abnormal invoice storage box 313, so as to realize the centralized management of the canceled invoices and avoid the risks that may be caused by the random discarding or outflow of the canceled invoices. Of course, regardless of whether the user deposits the canceled invoice into the abnormal invoice storage box 313, the self-service invoicing terminal can record the corresponding storage situation and inform the relevant parties in time.

[0083] It should be noted that, in addition to the invoicing error, the complete motor vehicle invoice of the motor vehicle needs to be invalidated for various reasons such as the returned motor vehicle, sales discount or termination of taxable services. There is no necessary order between the invalidation and stamping of any complete motor vehicle invoice that has been printed. For example, the user can initiate the invalidation process for the invoice at any appropriate time before or after the invoice is stamped, which will not be repeated. Of course, after any complete motor vehicle invoice is invalidated, the user can re-issue a new invoice in the self-service invoicing terminal according to the method described in the above embodiment, and the specific process will not be repeated.

[0084] The invoice issuance process (i.e., the invoice issuance process) of the present invention may include a printing process and a stamping process. In order to prevent the user from forgetting to stamp the printed complete motor vehicle invoice, the self-service invoice issuance terminal may output prompt information when outputting the complete motor vehicle invoice, such as displaying prompt text or pictures through the aforementioned main control screen 302, or playing prompt voice through a speaker, etc., which will not be described in detail. When the user confirms that the content printed in the complete motor vehicle invoice is correct and the handwriting is clear, he or she may start stamping the invoice.

[0085] Step 406: When it is determined that the object to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice, use of the physical stamp to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice is triggered.

[0086] When the printed complete motor vehicle invoice needs to be stamped, the user can place the invoice in the stamping area for stamping. The user can also implement a stamping trigger operation through the main control screen 302 or the electronic device used by the user to inform the self-service invoicing terminal that the invoice item placed in the stamping area needs to be stamped next.

[0087] In actual application, some users may handle other matters after printing a complete motor vehicle invoice, and come to the self-service invoicing terminal at any time after the self-service invoicing terminal continues to print a new invoice to request the complete motor vehicle invoice to be stamped (that is, for the self-service invoicing terminal, the printing process and the stamping process of the complete motor vehicle invoice are not continuous). Or, there may be some users who use other invoices that are not printed by the self-service invoicing terminal or even non-invoice documents to disguise, and attempt to use the self-service invoicing terminal to falsely stamp the invoice or document. Since the seal pattern obtained by stamping with the physical seal of the sales-related institution can be used as the credit endorsement of the institution for the sales event (that is, used to prove the authenticity of the sales event), the above-mentioned false stamping behavior may damage the reputation of the sales-related institution, thereby generating certain risks. In order to deal with such situations, the self-service invoicing terminal can verify the item to be stamped (at this time, the self-service invoicing terminal is not sure whether the item is a complete motor vehicle invoice that it has outputted) to determine whether the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area is a complete motor vehicle invoice printed and output by the terminal, and if the verification is passed (that is, the item to be stamped is indeed a complete motor vehicle invoice printed and output by the terminal), it will trigger the use of the physical seal to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0088] In one embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal can verify whether the item to be stamped is a complete motor vehicle invoice output by itself through screen tracking technology. Under normal circumstances, after the self-service invoicing terminal prints and outputs the complete motor vehicle invoice, the user will directly take the complete motor vehicle invoice and place it in the stamping area to wait for stamping, or place the invoice in the image shooting window 307 to shoot an image and then place it in the stamping area to wait for stamping, and the above operation process is usually continuous. In view of this, the self-service invoicing terminal can continuously identify the complete motor vehicle invoice in the video screen recorded by the camera 301 from the output of the complete motor vehicle invoice, and track the movement trajectory and current position of the invoice in real time. When the result shows that the invoice moves continuously from the print ticket outlet 304 to the stamping area 311, or moves continuously from the print ticket outlet 304 to the image shooting window 307 and then to the stamping area 311, it can be determined that the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area 311 is the complete motor vehicle invoice output by the self-service invoicing terminal last time before the current moment, so it can start to trigger the use of the physical seal to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0089] In another embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal may also capture the first image of the complete motor vehicle invoice after printing the invoice content information. For example, after the complete motor vehicle invoice is output, the user may be prompted to place the complete motor vehicle invoice in the image capture window 307, and after detecting that it is placed, the image capture module is controlled to capture the first image. Since the process requires manual participation of the user, the user may not follow the prompts, but directly place the output complete motor vehicle invoice in the stamping area to wait for stamping. In this regard, the self-service invoicing terminal can use the first image captured in the image capture window 307 as a precondition for triggering stamping, that is, only after the first image is successfully captured in the image capture window 307, will it further determine whether to trigger stamping, thereby ensuring that the first image is captured.

[0090] For another example, the self-service invoicing terminal can also automatically capture the first image. For example, considering that printing and outputting invoices by the printing module is usually a continuous process, a scanning module such as a scanner can be installed between the printing module (for printing) and the print ticket outlet 304 (for output), so that the printed complete motor vehicle invoice can be automatically scanned in time by the device before output, thereby obtaining the first image; in this way, the first image can be automatically and forcibly scanned to obtain it, thereby avoiding possible interference of user operations with the first image acquisition process, ensuring that the first image can be acquired.

[0091] It can be known from the above method that the first image records the complete motor vehicle invoice that has been printed. The self-service invoicing terminal can extract the corresponding invoice content, such as the invoice code and / or invoice number, from the first image. It should be noted that the process of extracting information from the image described in the present invention can be completed by the self-service invoicing terminal itself (locally at the terminal), or the terminal can send the image to the server, and the server itself can complete it or call a third-party function interface (such as the interface provided by the recognition OCR service) to complete it. The present invention does not limit this.

[0092] Next, the user may be prompted to enter relevant information about the item to be stamped, such as displaying a question prompt message of "Please enter the invoice number of the invoice to be stamped" or playing a prompt voice of "Please enter the invoice code and invoice number of the invoice to be stamped". After the user enters the above relevant information, it can be compared with the above invoice content extracted from the first image to determine whether the two are the same. For example, OCR technology (the available interface for identifying OCR service can be called by the server) can be used to extract the above invoice content. Taking the invoice code and invoice number as an example, if the invoice code and invoice number extracted from the first image correspond to and are equal to the invoice code and invoice number entered by the user (that is, the invoice code extracted from the first image is equal to the invoice code entered by the user, and the invoice number extracted from the first image is equal to the invoice code number entered by the user), then it can be determined that the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice (that is, the invoice represented by the first image).

[0093] However, the above process may result in the user inputting incorrect information or deliberately inputting false information (such as inserting an invoice printed by other devices or even other types of documents, but entering relevant information of a complete motor vehicle invoice). To avoid the above defects, the self-service invoicing terminal can also collect a second image for judgment. For example, a camera, a high-speed scanner or other shooting modules can be installed above the stamping area of ​​the self-service invoicing terminal. At this time, the self-service invoicing terminal can control the shooting module to automatically shoot the second image after detecting that the item to be stamped is placed in the appropriate position of the stamping area. Furthermore, the invoice content can be extracted from the second image: if the extraction fails, it can be determined that the item to be stamped is not a motor vehicle invoice or even an invoice (of course, the user can also be prompted to adjust the angle, direction, position, etc. of the item to shoot and extract again). At this time, the user can be prompted that the stamp cannot be stamped, such as "the item is incorrect, please put in the motor vehicle invoice printed by this machine." If the extraction is successful (indicating that the item to be stamped is indeed an invoice or a motor vehicle invoice), the invoice content can be compared with the invoice content extracted from the first image: if the invoice content extracted from the second image is the same as the invoice content extracted from the first image, it is determined that the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice; conversely, if the two are different, it can be determined that the invoice or motor vehicle invoice placed in the stamping area is not a complete motor vehicle invoice output by the self-service invoicing terminal (it may be an invoice printed by other devices). It can be understood that in the case where the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice, the invoice can be a complete motor vehicle invoice printed by the self-service invoicing terminal at any time before the current time, such as a complete motor vehicle invoice printed by the user after local login and operation of the self-service invoicing terminal, or a complete motor vehicle invoice printed by the user operating the self-service invoicing terminal during the historical login before the current login, or a complete motor vehicle invoice printed by other users logging in and operating the self-service invoicing terminal at any time before the current time, which will not be repeated.

[0094] In another embodiment, the sales-related institution has completed the delivery of a large number of motor vehicles, so the sales-related institution has a need to issue invoices for these motor vehicles. At this time, the sales-related institution can engrave multiple identical physical seals (that is, the seal patterns printed after stamping with these physical seals are the same), and each physical seal is respectively assembled in different self-service invoicing terminals. Since these self-service invoicing terminals can be operated independently, these self-service invoicing terminals can issue multiple invoices related to the sales-related institution in parallel, thereby improving the efficiency of invoicing related to the sales-related institution (that is, issuing multiple invoices related to the sales-related institution in a short period of time), which helps to meet the business needs of the sales-related institution.

[0095] If the sales-related agency manages multiple delivery sites, at least one self-service invoicing terminal can be installed in each delivery site, and each self-service invoicing terminal is equipped with a physical seal of the sales-related agency. In this scenario, the self-service invoicing terminal installed in the delivery site mentioned above can be any self-service invoicing terminal installed in any delivery site managed by the sales-related agency. Since each of the above self-service invoicing terminals is equipped with the same physical seal, the complete motor vehicle invoices printed and output by different self-service invoicing terminals can be stamped with each other, thereby meeting the invoicing needs of users in scenarios such as moving between different locations in the same delivery site or moving between different sites (such as job transfer). Among them, the self-service invoicing terminals equipped with the same physical seal can communicate with each other and share invoice printing records, so that the invoices issued by the user on any self-service invoicing terminal in these self-service invoicing terminals can be taken to other invoices for stamping. At this time, the first image of the self-service invoicing terminal used to extract the invoice information can be printed and output by itself, or by other self-service invoicing terminals in these self-service invoicing terminals, which will not be repeated.

[0096] In another embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal may also be equipped with a plurality of different physical seals, at least two of which may be used to stamp a complete motor vehicle invoice. At this time, when the self-service invoicing terminal detects that a complete motor vehicle invoice is placed in the stamping area, it may prompt the user to select the seal that he wants to stamp the invoice from the at least two physical seals, thereby triggering the use of any selected physical seal to stamp the placed complete motor vehicle invoice. In addition, in addition to the physical seal that can be used to stamp a complete motor vehicle invoice, the self-service invoicing terminal may also be equipped with other seals related to sales-related institutions to be used for stamping documents related to other matters. Exemplarily, the other seals may include legal representative seals, contract-specific seals, etc., which are not listed one by one. In this way, the printing and stamping functions of documents (such as contract documents, etc.) related to the above-mentioned other seals may be integrated in the self-service invoicing terminal, which helps to meet more diverse document self-service printing and stamping needs.

[0097] Of course, the self-service invoicing terminal described in this specification can also provide users with a function of printing ordinary documents, and the ordinary documents are documents that do not need to be stamped with a physical seal equipped with the self-service invoicing terminal or do not need any stamping. For example, the self-service invoicing terminal can also be equipped with a software and hardware interface for receiving documents, such as a communication module, a USB interface, a Type-C interface, etc., so that the user can provide the electronic version of the ordinary document to be printed to the self-service invoicing terminal through a network or a physical storage device, and then complete the printing.

[0098] In one embodiment, when the self-service invoicing terminal triggers the use of the physical seal to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice, automatic stamping or manual stamping can be achieved. For example, the self-service invoicing terminal can be equipped with a driving module (such as a crawler, a hinge, a movable bracket, etc.), and the physical seal can be installed on the driving module. At this time, the self-service invoicing terminal can control the driving module to drive the physical seal to move according to a preset trajectory to automatically stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice. Wherein, driven by the driving module, the physical seal can move in at least one degree of freedom (or direction). For example, if the initial position of the physical seal is located above the invoice stamping position (that is, the effective position where the seal pattern needs to be located, such as the lower left corner of the motor vehicle invoice), then only a simple up and down movement is required to achieve stamping and reset; for another example, if the initial position of the physical seal is located outside the invoice stamping position (such as the physical seal can be automatically hidden after stamping), then it is necessary to first adjust the physical seal to the stamping position by moving in one or more directions, then drive the physical seal to move downward, and then return along the original path to achieve reset. Of course, the present invention does not limit the specific moving track of the physical seal.

[0099] For another example, the self-service invoicing terminal can be equipped with a limit module (such as a baffle, a buckle, an ejector pin, etc.), which can be used to limit the position of the physical seal in order to control its state (i.e., control whether it can be taken). For example, the physical seal can be placed in a groove, and a movable baffle is set outside the groove: if the baffle is extended, the user cannot reach into the groove to take the physical seal, and the physical seal is in a fixed state at this time; if the baffle is retracted, the user can reach into the groove to take the physical seal, and the physical seal is in a movable state. Based on this, the self-service invoicing terminal can control the limit module to switch the physical seal from a fixed state to a movable state, and the physical seal in a movable state can be operated by the user to manually stamp the entire motor vehicle invoice. For example, the user can directly take the physical seal to stamp. Alternatively, when the physical seal is placed in the limited space, the physical seal can also be operated in the limited space to stamp, for example, the physical seal can be fixed on a movable bracket or a movable spring sheet, and the bracket or spring sheet needs to be manually pressed by the user to drive the physical seal to stamp. In this way, the physical seal can be prevented from being forcibly taken away by the user while manual stamping is achieved, and the physical seal can be prevented from being lost.

[0100] In addition, whether it is automatic stamping or manual stamping, operation prompt information can also be output to the user to avoid user operation errors (such as not knowing whether to operate by oneself, not knowing how to press, when to press, etc.). Of course, the user usually has learned how to operate after the stamping operation of the moving number of times, so the self-service ticketing terminal can also choose whether to input the prompt information according to the number of logins of the current user, such as only outputting the information when the user logs in for a preset number of times (such as the first time, the first 3 times, the first 5 times, etc.), so as to avoid the interference that may be caused to the user by continuing to output the above information when the user already knows the operation method, and improve the user's experience of using the self-service ticketing terminal.

[0101] After the stamping of the motor vehicle 2 is completed, the stamping position of the complete motor vehicle invoice is printed with the stamp pattern of the physical stamp. At this time, the user can check the pattern to confirm whether it is clear and usable to avoid invalid stamping due to abnormal reasons such as lack of ink in the stamp. Of course, in the case of invalid stamping, it can also be re-stamped until it is valid; or the invoice can be invalidated and a new complete motor vehicle invoice can be reprinted and stamped, which will not be repeated. It can be understood that when the stamping is completed and valid, the process of issuing the motor vehicle invoice for the target motor vehicle is completed.

[0102] It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present invention that the technical solutions provided by the above embodiments have the following beneficial effects: This solution proposes a self-service invoicing terminal, which can be used to place pre-printed blank motor vehicle invoices, and the physical seal of the sales-related organization is installed in its stamping area. Based on this, the user who issues the invoice can initiate an invoice printing request for the target motor vehicle to the self-service invoicing terminal, and the terminal determines the content information of the invoice to be printed based on the sales data generated by the sales event of the target motor vehicle, and then prints the invoice content information at the preset position of the blank motor vehicle invoice, and outputs the printed complete motor vehicle invoice. In addition, when it is determined that the item to be stamped placed in the stamping area is the complete motor vehicle invoice, the physical seal is triggered to stamp the complete motor vehicle invoice.

[0103] It can be seen that the self-service invoicing terminal can standardize the use of blank motor vehicle invoices and physical seals in the process of invoice issuance while realizing the self-service invoicing function, and improve the management and use quality of blank motor vehicle invoices and physical seals. On the one hand, the blank motor vehicle invoices collected from the tax bureau are placed in the terminal to avoid the risks of loss and theft of these invoices; on the other hand, the physical seal is installed in the stamping area of ​​the terminal to avoid the risk of seal use caused by random use by personnel.

[0104] In one embodiment, after the stamping of the motor vehicle 2 is completed, it can be photographed and archived. For example, a third image can be collected for the complete motor vehicle invoice containing the stamp pattern, such as the shooting module installed above the stamping area can be controlled to automatically shoot the third image after the stamping is completed. Among them, the shooting module can be triggered to shoot by the reset action of the physical seal after the stamping is completed; in other words, the occurrence of the reset action indicates that the stamping is completed, and the shooting of the third image can be triggered at this time. Of course, in order to avoid the user taking out the complete motor vehicle invoice immediately after the manual stamping is completed, and then resetting the physical seal, the user can also be prompted to place the complete motor vehicle invoice with the stamp completed in an appropriate position in the image shooting window 307, so that the shooting module corresponding to the window can shoot the invoice to obtain the third image.

[0105] Furthermore, the self-service invoicing terminal can send the collected third image to at least one of the following: the server, the associated electronic device of the target motor vehicle, and the pre-associated invoice management agency. Among them, the server can save the third image locally for archiving, so as to facilitate subsequent query and use (such as statistics, etc.). The associated electronic device of the target motor vehicle can be the mobile phone, computer, etc. of the car buyer, so that the car buyer can know that the invoice of the target motor vehicle purchased by him has been issued, so that he can use the third image in time to carry out other matters related to the target motor vehicle. Among them, the server can call the message push service to push the third image as the message content to the corresponding client software running in the associated electronic device, such as an independent APP, applet or H5 page. The pre-associated invoice management agency can be the financial department of the sales-related agency, or can also be the superior agency of the sales-related agency or the financial department of the superior agency. For example, if the sales-related agency is a delivery center of a certain brand under the direct sales model, the delivery center itself may not have a financial department. At this time, the financial matters related to the vehicles delivered by the delivery center can be the responsibility of the financial department of the brand's head office. Therefore, sending the completed complete motor vehicle invoice to the financial department can be used for subsequent financial processing of the complete motor vehicle invoice. Obviously, this method does not require the establishment of a separate financial department in each delivery center, which not only helps to reduce the operating costs of the delivery center, but also helps its superior agency to uniformly supervise the delivery of each delivery center, thereby improving the overall financial and tax management efficiency of the superior agency and even the brand. In addition, the self-service invoicing terminal can send the third image to the above-mentioned relevant parties immediately after collecting it, or it can send it according to a preset sending plan formulated according to time or quantity; it can actively send the image, or it can return the image to it in response to the image acquisition request initiated by the above-mentioned parties, etc. The specific method can be reasonably selected according to actual needs, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0106] The above embodiments introduce blank motor vehicle invoices or complete motor vehicle invoices as a whole. In fact, motor vehicle invoices usually include multiple copies. Take the "Measures for the Use of Motor Vehicle Invoices" officially implemented on July 1, 2021 as an example. The motor vehicle invoice stipulated therein is a six-copy invoice. The first copy of this type of invoice is the invoice copy (payment voucher of the purchasing unit), the second copy is the deduction copy (tax deduction voucher of the purchasing unit), the third copy is the tax return copy (retained by the vehicle purchase tax collection unit), the fourth copy is the registration copy (retained by the vehicle registration unit), the fifth copy is the accounting copy (accounting voucher of the selling unit), and the sixth copy is the stub copy (retained by the selling unit). Under normal circumstances, blank motor vehicle invoices are pre-printed uniformly by the tax bureau according to the above-mentioned copy standards, so blank motor vehicle invoices include multiple copies; naturally, the blank motor vehicle invoice obtained by printing the invoice content information on the blank motor vehicle invoice also includes the above-mentioned multiple copies, and the invoice content information is printed on each copy separately. Among them, the different copies have different functions respectively. For example, the first invoice copy, the third tax return copy and the fourth registration copy can be used to handle vehicle insurance, reimbursement and other vehicle-related matters; the second deduction copy can be given to the car buyer for reimbursement of car purchase expenses; the fifth accounting copy and the sixth stub copy can be sealed as sales files for inspection.

[0107] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the use of different copies for subsequent different matters, the user can manually separate the blank motor vehicle invoice or the complete motor vehicle invoice, such as tearing the complete motor vehicle invoice along the dividing line between the copies to obtain the individual copies. The self-service invoicing terminal can also be equipped with multiple copy storage boxes, which can be used to receive different copies of the complete motor vehicle invoice respectively, and any copy storage box receives at least one copy. In this way, standardized management and storage of each copy in the motor vehicle invoice can be achieved, the loss of invoices or copies can be avoided as much as possible, and the efficiency of relevant personnel in sorting invoices and summarizing copies can be improved.

[0108] For example, based on the above six-copy invoice embodiment, the plurality of copy storage boxes can be referred to as Figure 3The 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312 and the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305 shown, wherein the 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312 can be used to store the 1 / 3 / 4 copies after the copies are separated, and the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305 can be used to store the 5 / 6 copies after the copies are separated. Based on this, for any complete motor vehicle invoice, the user can tear it along the dividing line between the first copy and the second copy, tear it along the dividing line between the second copy and the third copy, and tear it along the dividing line between the fourth copy and the fifth copy, so as to obtain an independent first copy and an independent second copy, a third copy and a fourth copy that are still connected, and a fifth copy and a sixth copy that are still connected. Of course, it is also possible to tear it along the dividing line between any two copies to obtain six independent copies, and the present invention does not limit the copying method. After the copying is completed, the user can put the first copy, the third copy and the fourth copy into the 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312, and put the fifth copy and the sixth copy into the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305.

[0109] In one embodiment, the user can separate the copies after stamping (i.e., process the motor vehicle invoice in the order of printing, stamping, and dividing), in which case all copies of the complete motor vehicle invoice can be stamped simultaneously; or, in certain cases where stamping is not required twice, the copies can be separated before stamping (i.e., the motor vehicle invoice is processed in the order of printing, dividing, and stamping), in which case only at least some of the copies that need to be stamped after separation (such as the second deduction copy in the above-mentioned six-copy invoice that needs to be handed over to the car buyer) can be stamped.

[0110] For example, in order to facilitate the user to separate the copies before stamping, the self-service invoicing terminal can display the copy separation prompt information after printing the invoice content information (before stamping begins). Or, in order to facilitate the user to separate the copies after stamping, the self-service invoicing terminal can display the copy separation prompt information after stamping the complete motor vehicle invoice. Among them, the copy separation prompt information can be used to display the copy separation method of the complete motor vehicle invoice, so that the user can reasonably separate the copies according to this method, thereby standardizing the user's copy separation operation and facilitating the subsequent copy storage and sorting. The copy separation method can be displayed in the form of text, voice, demonstration animation, etc. And / or, the copy separation prompt information can also be used to display the copy storage boxes corresponding to each copy after the copy separation (that is, the storage method of each copy), so that the user can accurately put each copy after the copy separation into the corresponding copy storage box to avoid the situation where the copy is misplaced. The above storage method can also be displayed through text, voice, demonstration animation, etc., among which the number of copies to be placed in each copy storage box and the position of each copy storage box in the self-service ticketing terminal can be displayed; or, when the corresponding copy information is displayed on each copy storage box (by posting a label or displaying it in electronic form), the light set on each copy storage box can also be controlled to be constant or flashing, so that the user can find the copy storage box corresponding to each copy.

[0111] Furthermore, the self-service invoicing terminal can also capture images of the copies placed in the copy storage box, so as to count whether there are storage errors, whether there are errors in the number of copies, etc. For example, when any copy storage box receives any copy of the complete motor vehicle invoice, the self-service invoicing terminal can capture the fourth image of any copy. Among them, any copy storage box can be equipped with an image acquisition module, such as a shooting module or a scanning module. In the case of being equipped with a shooting module, the user can manually open any copy storage box and put in the corresponding copy, and thereafter (after putting in or closing the copy storage box), the shooting device can take a picture of the placed copy to obtain the fourth image. In the case of being equipped with a scanning module, the user can put in the corresponding copy one by one from the entrance of the module, so that the scanning module can move the copy to the inside of the copy storage box and complete automatic scanning during the movement to obtain the fourth image.

[0112] After acquiring the fourth image, the self-service invoicing terminal may send the fourth image to at least one of the following: the service end, the associated electronic device of the target motor vehicle, and the pre-associated invoice management agency. The process of sending the fourth image to the above parties is similar to the third process, which will not be described in detail here. It is worth noting that since the complete motor vehicle invoice is divided into multiple copies and may be stored in multiple copy storage boxes, the number of the fourth images may be multiple. In this regard, when the service end and / or the invoice management agency receives the fourth image, on the one hand, it can extract the invoice information in each fourth image to determine whether the invoice information is the same as the invoice information extracted from the third image: if they are the same, the image can be stored; if they are not the same, an alarm message can be returned to the self-service invoicing terminal or the electronic device used by the user to inform the user that the number of copies inserted is incorrect. On the other hand, the number of the fourth images can be counted to confirm whether there is a copy missing. Of course, these two aspects of processing can also be completed locally by the self-service invoicing terminal after acquiring the fourth image, which will not be described in detail here.

[0113] Still taking the aforementioned six-copy invoice as an example, the first copy, the third copy and the fourth copy after the copy is divided are placed in the 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312, and the fifth copy and the sixth copy are placed in the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305. A quantity counting module can also be installed in any copy storage box to count the number of copies placed and monitor whether the box is full. When the current number meets the preset conditions, the self-service invoicing terminal can notify the relevant personnel of the sales-related organization to take away these copies in time. Or, for any copy placed therein, the relevant personnel of the copy can be notified to take away the copy in time. For example, when the 5 / 6 copy storage box 305 is full, the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal can be notified to take it away in time to empty the box, or the vehicle service personnel who handle vehicle-related matters such as vehicle insurance and reimbursement can be notified to take away these copies for handling the above matters. When the 1 / 3 / 4 copy storage box 312 is full, the self-service invoicing terminal can notify the operator of the self-service invoicing terminal to take away these copies in time and hand them over to the preset invoice management agency. In addition, the second deduction coupon can be delivered to the car buyer directly on site or by mail. Of course, if the car buyer is not a general VAT taxpayer, the second deduction coupon can also be retained by the sales-related institution without being delivered to the car buyer.

[0114] In one embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal can realize the logistics delivery function related to the invoice. For example, after the user completes the stamping of the complete motor vehicle invoice, it may be necessary to mail the invoice or part of it to the relevant party. Taking the scenario where the self-service invoicing terminal is placed in a delivery center under the direct sales model as an example, after the six-copy invoice is divided into copies, if the car buyer is not in the delivery center, the second deduction copy can be mailed to the car buyer; or, if the 5 / 6-copy storage box 305 is full, the fifth accounting copy and the sixth stub copy stored therein can be mailed to the financial department of the brand corresponding to the delivery center, so that the relevant financial personnel can archive and process them after receiving them.

[0115] Among them, after the stamping of the complete motor vehicle invoice is completed, if the user needs to mail the complete motor vehicle invoice (specifically, it can be the invoice, or some copies of the invoice) to the relevant party, the user can initiate a delivery instruction for the complete motor vehicle invoice to the self-service invoicing terminal through the main control screen 302 or the electronic device used by the user. Correspondingly, the self-service invoicing terminal can obtain the delivery information of the complete motor vehicle invoice in response to the instruction. Among them, the delivery information can include sender information and recipient information, such as name, address and / or telephone number. The delivery information can be obtained from the sales data of the target motor vehicle, can be temporarily input by the user, and can be queried from the user's historical mailing records.

[0116] In one embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal may be associated with a preset logistics system (such as a courier company or a third-party logistics platform, etc.). Based on the logistics system, the terminal may print and output the logistics bill (or express bill) according to the delivery information. For example, the self-service invoicing terminal may send the above delivery information to the server, so that the server can call the bill generation interface opened to it by the aforementioned logistics system (using the delivery information as the interface input parameter) to generate the logistics bill, and return it to the self-service invoicing terminal for printing; of course, the self-service invoicing terminal may also directly access the above bill generation interface. See Figure 3 , the logistics bill printed by the self-service invoicing terminal can be output from the logistics bill outlet 308 and picked up by the user. Alternatively, the self-service invoicing terminal can also send the delivery information to a pre-associated bill printing device, so that the bill printing device prints and outputs the logistics bill according to the delivery information. Among them, the bill printing device can be placed in the interactive place where the self-service invoicing terminal is located, such as near the self-service invoicing terminal, to facilitate users to take the logistics bill. Obviously, the logistics bill is used to deliver at least one copy of the complete motor vehicle invoice (if it is all copies, the invoice is delivered).

[0117] Empty packages (such as empty express bags, document bags, etc.) may also be placed in advance in the self-service invoicing terminal or in its associated space (such as a cabinet near the terminal), so that the user can put the complete motor vehicle invoice to be mailed (or part of it) into the empty package and then post the logistics bill on it, thereby completing the self-service packaging process of the logistics package - the package at this time becomes a package to be mailed. Obviously, the package to be mailed contains at least one copy of the complete motor vehicle invoice. The self-service invoicing terminal may also be equipped with a package storage box (such as a Figure 3 The user can place the parcel to be mailed in the parcel storage box 309 shown in the figure. In other words, the self-service invoicing terminal can receive the parcel to be mailed with the logistics waybill affixed thereto through the parcel storage box installed by itself. In the above manner, the parcels containing the invoices are uniformly managed and mailed, thereby standardizing the mailing process of the invoices by the user, helping to improve the efficiency of invoice mailing and avoiding errors in the mailing process as much as possible.

[0118] In addition, the self-service invoicing terminal can also determine the logistics bill information, which can include the aforementioned delivery information, and can also include the corresponding logistics organization (such as a courier company, etc.) and a unique number (or courier number) of the logistics bill. Then, the bill information can be sent to at least one of the following: a service end, an electronic device used by the recipient of the complete motor vehicle invoice, and a pre-associated logistics organization. After receiving the bill information, the pre-associated logistics organization can instruct logistics-related personnel (such as a pickup person) to pick up the parcel to be mailed at the self-service invoicing terminal and mail the parcel. It can be seen that since the user can handle other matters after putting the parcel to be delivered into the parcel storage box, and the logistics-related personnel can uniformly pick up the parcel to be mailed from the parcel storage box, the self-service invoicing terminal is used as an intermediate node for logistics delivery. During the mailing process of the invoice, the user and the logistics-related personnel do not need to interact face-to-face in the same time and space, which helps to save the user's time and improve the efficiency of the logistics-related personnel in picking up parcels.

[0119] In another embodiment, the self-service invoicing terminal may also be associated with a preset archive system (such as the archive system of the automobile enterprise to which the delivery site belongs, the archive system of the tax agency, etc.), and the self-service invoicing terminal may generate a package code for multiple invoices to be mailed (such as the invoice numbers of the multiple invoices are xxx1-xxx50, then the package code may be "xxx1-xxx50" or "xxx[1-50]", etc.), and then print the package code on the package bill and output the bill (of course, the package bill may also print invoice related information such as quantity and type); accordingly, the user (such as the operator) may select a storage box (such as Figure 3 The multiple invoices are taken out from the 5 / 6-copy storage box 305 shown in the figure and packed into a parcel, and then the parcel label is pasted on the parcel. It can be understood that the multiple invoices here are actually 5 copies and 6 copies of multiple invoices. In addition, the logistics label can also be printed and output (see the above-mentioned embodiment for the specific printing and output methods), and the user pastes the logistics label on the parcel so that the above-mentioned logistics system delivers the parcel to the recipient (who can be the staff of the above-mentioned archive system) according to the logistics label. The recipient can quickly know which invoices are in the parcel by checking the parcel label on the parcel (for example, by checking "xxx[1~50]", it can be known that the invoice numbers of each invoice in the parcel are xxx1~xxx50), without having to check each invoice one by one, which helps to improve the filing efficiency of invoices.

[0120] Among them, the self-service invoicing terminal can also provide the package code to the aforementioned archive system, so that the system can generate an archive code corresponding to the package code. Therefore, after receiving the aforementioned package, the recipient can archive the multiple invoices in the package according to the archive code (of course, the recipient can first check whether the above package code and the archive code are consistent, and archive them when they are consistent). In this way, the logistics process of the invoice can be associated with the archiving process, and the package code and the archive code can be automatically generated and corresponded to each other, which can improve the efficiency of invoice mailing and archiving while ensuring that the invoice information is aligned in different systems, which helps to avoid confusion or even errors in the above mailing and archiving processes, thereby improving the management efficiency of the entire invoice process.

[0121] The service end can archive the delivery note information as a proof that the complete motor vehicle invoice has been mailed, so that subsequent relevant personnel can query the logistics status of the invoice based on the information through the self-service invoicing terminal or electronic device. After the electronic device used by the recipient of the complete motor vehicle invoice receives the delivery note information, the recipient (such as the car buyer or the financial personnel in the financial institution) can query the logistics status of the package based on the information - for example, through the query structure provided by the logistics agency; or the logistics order number can be sent to the service end, and the service end will query the logistics agency based on the logistics order number, and then return the corresponding query result (such as the current logistics progress of the package to be mailed) to the electronic device for the recipient to view.

[0122] It can be seen from the above embodiments that, for a motor vehicle invoice issued for a target motor vehicle, the complete processing of the invoice may include multiple states. Figure 5 As shown, the invoice issuance process of the target motor vehicle may go through the stages of data integration, automatic printing, invoice division, invoice stamping, invoice archiving, invoice mailing, etc. At any time, the invoice may be in any of the following states: waiting to be printed (the invoice content information has not yet started to be printed), printing (the printing of the invoice content information has not yet been completed), printing completed (the printing of the invoice content information has been completed to obtain a complete motor vehicle invoice), waiting to be imaged (the first image of the complete motor vehicle invoice has not yet been sampled), waiting to be stamped (the first image sampling has been completed and waiting for stamping), stamping completed (stamping has been completed), packaged (packed into the package to be mailed, but the package has not yet been taken away by the relevant personnel of the logistics organization), in logistics (the package to be mailed has been taken away by the relevant personnel of the logistics organization and is being mailed), waiting to be picked up (the package to be mailed has been delivered to the recipient address, but the recipient has not yet picked up and signed for it), and signed for (the recipient has picked up the package and signed for the invoice).

[0123] In one embodiment, relevant personnel (such as the user, the car buyer, the management personnel of the sales-related organization, the financial personnel, etc.) can query the current status of the invoice issued for the target motor vehicle through the self-service invoicing terminal. For example, the relevant personnel can operate in the self-service invoicing terminal to initiate an invoice status query request for the target motor vehicle, or can also access the self-service invoicing terminal through the electronic device used by themselves to initiate an invoice status query request for the target motor vehicle. In response to the request, the self-service invoicing terminal can determine the current invoice status of the target motor vehicle and return the status information of the current invoice status to the initiator of the invoice status query request. For example, the current invoice status can be queried locally according to the identification information of the vehicle or the invoice number of the invoice, or the current invoice status can be requested from the service end. Furthermore, the current invoice status can be displayed to the relevant personnel locally at the self-service invoicing terminal, or it can be sent to the electronic device used by the relevant personnel for viewing. In this way, the whole process monitoring of the invoice issuance process can be realized, which helps to standardize the invoice management process and improve the management quality and efficiency.
