Therefore, the present disclosure may be specifically implemented in the following forms, namely: complete hardware, complete software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent payment method and device based on image recognition and positioning technology are proposed, which relate to artificial intelligence technology and the field of financial technology.

[0054] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an intelligent payment method based on image recognition and positioning technology according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0056] S101, obtaining environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle;

[0057] S102, determining first merchant information through image recognition according to the environmental image data;

[0058] S103, determining second merchant information within a set distance range of the current positioning position according to the vehicle positioning information;

[0059] S104, matching the first merchant information and the second merchant information to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle;

[0060] S105, according to the payment request initiated by the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request is sent to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle, and the payment is processed according to the payment data submitted by the intelligent payment system.

[0061] In actual application scenarios, the intelligent payment method based on image recognition and positioning technology of the present invention has the following working principle: obtaining environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle; determining the first merchant information through image recognition based on the environmental image data; determining the second merchant information within a set distance range of the current positioning position based on the vehicle positioning information; matching the first merchant information and the second merchant information to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle; according to the payment request initiated by the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, sending the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle, and processing the payment according to the payment data submitted by the intelligent payment system; the overall process uses image recognition technology and precise positioning service technology to intelligently lock places, merchants, and bills, so that smart car customers can quickly complete in-vehicle payments, provide more convenient and intelligent payment methods, comprehensively improve the payment experience of smart car customers, reduce labor costs, and improve the efficiency of in-vehicle payments, providing strong technical support for in-vehicle payment scenarios.

[0062] In order to explain the above-mentioned intelligent payment method based on image recognition and positioning technology more clearly, each step is described in detail below.

[0063] S101, obtaining environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle.

[0064] In one embodiment, the environmental image information may be captured by a vehicle-mounted camera, and the vehicle positioning information may be determined by a vehicle positioning system.

[0065] The environmental image data is a photo of the environment around the vehicle, which is captured and uploaded at a set time interval (for example, 10 seconds).

[0066] S102: Determine first merchant information through image recognition according to the environment image data.

[0067] If a merchant can be identified in a certain number of consecutive environmental images in chronological order, it can be considered that the vehicle is currently next to the merchant and the customer may place a payment order at the merchant.

[0068] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , the specific methods of image recognition include:

[0069] S201, preprocessing the environment image data to extract text image data and building image data;

[0070] S202, input the text image data and the building image data as input samples to an image recognition model, wherein the image recognition model aims to recognize text information and building information, outputs the text information and building information corresponding to the environment image data, and determines the first merchant information based on the text information and building information; wherein the first merchant information at least includes the merchant name.

[0071] S103: Determine second merchant information within a set distance range of the current positioning position according to the vehicle positioning information.

[0072] After performing image recognition on the environmental image data to obtain the first merchant information, positioning and identifying the second merchant information is performed. That is, if the first merchant information cannot be identified through image recognition, it is considered that the customer is not near any merchant and the customer will not generate a payment order.

[0073] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , the location information processing method includes:

[0074] S301, determining the longitude and latitude of the vehicle according to the vehicle positioning information;

[0075] S302, based on the longitude and latitude uploaded by the merchant when using the positioning service, determine the merchant within the set distance range of the longitude and latitude of the vehicle as the second merchant, and obtain the second merchant information; wherein the second merchant information at least includes the longitude and latitude uploaded by the merchant when using the positioning service, the merchant name, address and contact information.

[0076] In the actual application scenario, take the example of a customer driving a smart car to a gas station to refuel. The onboard camera of the smart car captures environmental information at a fixed time (for example, 10 seconds) and uploads the environmental information picture to the vehicle equipment manufacturer system. The vehicle equipment manufacturer system determines whether the environmental information is a gas station based on image recognition technology. If it is not a gas station, no processing is performed. If it is a gas station and it is determined to be a gas station twice in a row, the precise positioning service is called to locate the specific location of the vehicle, obtain the location information, and then call the transaction processing system to send a pre-judgment payment request. The specific information sent includes the smart car license plate number, environmental information, location information, etc.

[0077] The specific application scenarios are not limited to refueling, but can also be other payment scenarios.

[0078] Smart car service equipment manufacturers locate vehicles based on image recognition technology. Image recognition is an important field of artificial intelligence. It refers to the technology of using computers to process, analyze and understand images to identify targets and objects of various different patterns. Specifically, each image has its own characteristics. By classifying and extracting important features of the image, and effectively eliminating useless redundant features, key information is extracted, so that image recognition can be achieved. Reference Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of the image recognition process of a specific embodiment. Image recognition includes four steps: image acquisition, image processing, image recognition, and output results.

[0079] Smart vehicle equipment manufacturers locate vehicle positions based on precise positioning services. Precise positioning services include Beidou navigation, GPS, LBS, etc., which obtain terminal users' location information through the radio communication network of telecommunications and mobile operators or external positioning methods.

[0080] S104: Match the first merchant information and the second merchant information to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle.

[0081] In one embodiment, the first merchant information is matched with the second merchant information in sequence, and the merchant information whose matching degree reaches a set matching threshold is selected as the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle.

[0082] The merchant's file information should be consistent with the merchant information of precise positioning. The merchant must retain the latitude and longitude information and merchant information when the transaction processor creates the file. The smart vehicle equipment manufacturer shall submit the latitude and longitude information and merchant information when submitting the location information. If the latitude and longitude information and merchant information (merchant name, merchant address, merchant telephone number information, etc.) match, they are considered consistent if the matching degree reaches 90%.

[0083] S105, according to the payment request initiated by the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request is sent to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle, and the payment is processed according to the payment data submitted by the intelligent payment system.

[0084] refer to Figure 5 , the specific payment processing process is:

[0085] S501, query whether the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle has any order to be paid within a set time range; if so, send the order to be paid to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle.

[0086] For example, in the refueling scenario, if it is predicted that a customer may refuel, it is necessary to determine whether the merchant has orders to be paid within the next 2 minutes. If so, the customer will be prompted. If not, no prompt will be given. This time can be adjusted based on the statistics of refueling time consumption.

[0087] S502, after the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request is sent to the smart payment system of the vehicle, the smart payment system displays the order to be paid, and the customer manually confirms and enters the device number, product number or order number.

[0088] For example, in the refueling scenario, customers can manually enter the number of the gas gun. In other payment scenarios, they can enter the product number, order number, etc.

[0089] S503: Locate the order to be paid according to the order number, product number or device number, and complete corresponding payment processing.

[0090] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 6 , the method further comprises:

[0091] S601, acquiring vehicle identity information while acquiring environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle, wherein the vehicle identity information is bound to the smart payment system of the vehicle.

[0092] S602, constructing a three-party payment agreement among the smart payment system, the vehicle equipment manufacturer system and the transaction processing system corresponding to the vehicle identity information; wherein the vehicle equipment manufacturer system is used to analyze the environmental image data and the vehicle positioning information to determine the first merchant information and the second merchant information; the transaction processing system is used to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, send the order to be paid initiated by the merchant to the vehicle's smart payment system, and process the corresponding payment data.

[0093] In actual application scenarios, vehicle identity information (license plate number) is the primary key to link transactions. If a customer uses this service, he / she needs to sign a three-party payment agreement with the transaction processor (intelligent payment system), vehicle equipment manufacturer (vehicle equipment manufacturer system), and transaction processor (transaction processing system), and store it in the transaction processor.

[0094] The agreement information includes filling in the vehicle equipment number, license plate number, and agreeing to accept smart payment services. After the customer signs the agreement, the transaction processor notifies the vehicle equipment manufacturer through an interface call, and the vehicle equipment manufacturer binds the license plate number with the vehicle camera device number based on the vehicle equipment number. The transaction processor pushes payment notification messages based on the license plate number.

[0095] For example, a customer signs a three-party payment agreement at a commercial bank among the customer, the vehicle equipment manufacturer, and the commercial bank; the transaction processor is not limited to a commercial bank, but can also be the payment processing system of other non-bank institutions.

[0096] S603, after obtaining the vehicle identity information, the first merchant information and the second merchant information pushed by the vehicle equipment manufacturer system, the transaction processing system determines whether there is a three-party payment agreement corresponding to the vehicle identity information based on the vehicle identity information. If so, the first merchant information and the second merchant information are analyzed; if not or the agreement status is abnormal, no processing is performed.

[0097] After receiving the information, the transaction processor queries the payment agreement based on the license plate number. If the payment agreement status is normal, the merchant profile information (latitude and longitude, merchant name, address, telephone number, etc.) is matched through environmental information and location information. If the match is successful, it is determined whether the merchant has any orders to be paid in the past 2 minutes. If so, the smart payment system message reminder function based on the smart car smart screen will prompt the customer "Are you refueling? Please click OK to complete the payment." After the customer clicks OK, he can manually enter the gas gun number to view the bill and complete the payment.

[0098] In another embodiment, in order to improve the processing efficiency of order payment, an automated processing method can also be implemented by analyzing environmental image data. Specifically, the environmental image data also includes: equipment images, product images or order images;

[0099] refer to Figure 7 The specific processing method is

[0100] S701, the vehicle equipment manufacturer system performs image recognition based on the equipment image, product image or order image, determines the equipment number, product number or order number, and uploads it to the transaction processing system;

[0101] S702, the transaction processing system locates the order to be paid according to the order number, product number or device number, and completes corresponding payment processing.

[0102] In actual application scenarios, the gun number is obtained through image recognition, thereby replacing the operation of manually inputting the gun number. When uploading information, the gun number can be sent to the transaction processing system, and the bill can be located through merchant information and gun number, thereby improving customer payment efficiency.

[0103] In one embodiment, for a vehicle equipment manufacturer system, the processing flow is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, including:

[0104] S801, obtaining environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle;

[0105] S802, determining first merchant information through image recognition according to the environmental image data;

[0106] S803, determining the second merchant information within a set distance range of the current positioning position according to the vehicle positioning information; wherein the transaction processing system matches the first merchant information and the second merchant information to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle; according to the payment request initiated by the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, sending the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle, and processing the payment according to the payment data submitted by the intelligent payment system.

[0107] In one embodiment, for a transaction processing system, the processing flow is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, including:

[0108] S901, matching the first merchant information and the second merchant information to determine the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle; wherein the first merchant information and the second merchant information are determined by a vehicle equipment manufacturer system; the vehicle equipment manufacturer system obtains environmental image data and vehicle positioning information uploaded by the vehicle; determines the first merchant information through image recognition based on the environmental image data; and determines the second merchant information within a set distance range of the current positioning position based on the vehicle positioning information;

[0109] S902, according to the payment request initiated by the merchant currently corresponding to the vehicle, the order to be paid corresponding to the payment request is sent to the intelligent payment system of the vehicle, and the payment is processed according to the payment data submitted by the intelligent payment system.

[0110] The present invention intelligently locks places, merchants, and bills based on image recognition technology and precise positioning service technology, making it convenient for smart car customers to quickly complete the payment of gas fees and other expenses; this solution provides a more convenient and intelligent payment method for smart car on-board payment, which can comprehensively improve the payment experience of smart car customers; at the same time, it also breaks through the traditional mode (ETC) of installing a camera on the B-end to guide payment through OCR recognition of license plates. The present invention realizes pre-judgment payment from the C-end and can be quickly expanded to various payment scenarios without the need for hardware modification on the B-end, and has strong promotion potential.

[0111] It should be noted that, although the operations of the method of the present invention are described in a specific order in the above embodiments and the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the operations must be performed in the specific order, or that all the operations shown must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps.

[0112] In conjunction with a specific embodiment, the following describes the smart payment method based on image recognition and positioning technology of the present invention by taking a customer driving a smart car to refuel as an example.

[0113] refer to Fig.10 , in this scenario, it includes customers, smart car on-board equipment, smart car equipment manufacturer server (vehicle equipment manufacturer system), commercial bank server (payment processing system), and commercial bank client (smart payment system).

[0114] Smart car in-vehicle equipment: Involving in-vehicle cameras, in-vehicle positioning systems, and in-vehicle smart screens. In-vehicle cameras capture environmental information at any time and regularly (10s) upload screenshots of environmental information to the smart car equipment manufacturer's server; the in-vehicle positioning system is a device signal receiver that can locate the vehicle and obtain vehicle location information; the in-vehicle smart screen supports the installation of various application software and receives message reminders. Specifically, it supports customers to complete payments through commercial bank clients on the smart screen.

[0115] Smart car equipment manufacturer server: involves image recognition module and precise positioning service module. The image recognition module uses image recognition technology to identify and analyze the environmental information screenshot sent by the vehicle camera. If the environmental information is judged to be a gas station, the mental positioning service module is called to obtain the location information, and then the associated license plate number is searched through the vehicle camera device number. The commercial bank server is called to send the license plate number, environmental information, and location information for further pre-judgment and payment processing.

[0116] Commercial bank service end: involves payment processing module, which mainly receives pre-judgment payment requests (notifications from smart car equipment manufacturers), and then determines the acquiring merchant and whether the merchant has orders to be paid based on location information. If so, the front end is notified to remind the customer to make payment and process the customer's payment request.

[0117] Commercial bank client: Commercial bank application that supports the front-end prompting of customers’ pending payment information and guiding customers to complete payment.

[0118] like Fig.10 As shown, the specific process is:

[0119] S1001, the customer drives the smart car to the gas station to refuel.

[0120] S1002, the 360-degree camera on the smart car captures environmental information and sends environmental screenshots to the smart car equipment manufacturer's server at regular intervals (every 10 seconds).

[0121] Cameras can be arranged around the vehicle body, for example, 4 cameras can be arranged.

[0122] S1003, the smart car equipment manufacturer server determines the environment content through image recognition technology and determines it to be a gas station (env=1), and determines it to be a gas station (env=1) twice in a row.

[0123] Among them, the on-board 360-degree camera takes four pictures of the environment simultaneously each time, and uploads them to the server every 10 seconds. The server of the smart car equipment manufacturer receives the four pictures and calls the image recognition technology to analyze whether it is a gas station based on the fuel tank style matching. If a photo is identified as a gas station, and two consecutive photos are identified as a gas station, it is considered to be a gas station.

[0124] S1004, the smart car equipment manufacturer server calls the precise positioning service to obtain location information, including longitude and latitude (shopsite), merchant name (shopname), merchant address (shopaddress), merchant phone number (shopphone), etc.

[0125] If merchants use location services, they need to upload merchant information.

[0126] S1005, the smart car equipment manufacturer's server calls the commercial bank's server payment processing module to send a pre-judgment payment request, and uploads the license plate information (lic=001), gas station information (env=1) and location information.

[0127] S1006, the payment processing module of the commercial bank service end queries the payment agreement through the license plate information (lic=001), and does not process if there is no agreement or the agreement status is abnormal; if the agreement status is normal, continues processing.

[0128] S1007, the payment processing module of the commercial bank service end locates the acquiring merchant (shopcode=100) according to the environmental information category (env=1) and the location information.

[0129] S1008, the payment processing module of the commercial bank service end queries the merchant based on the acquiring merchant number (shopcode=100) whether there is any order to be paid within the past 2 minutes. If there is any order to be paid, the commercial bank client is called to send a message prompt.
