Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an automated billing settlement data processing method and system, in particular to a vehicle passage payment method and system. Background Art

[0002] Motor vehicles need to pay tolls when passing through highways. The existing highway tolls are generally charged and paid in two ways: ECT electronic toll collection and manual toll collection. Manual toll collection is divided into two common types: manual card issuance and collection and machine card issuance and collection. Among them, the manual toll collection includes the staff at the entrance and exit of the highway or the relevant card issuance and card collection equipment. Compared with ECT electronic toll collection, manual toll collection requires additional operations such as taking and placing the pass card and scanning the code to pay or paying in cash and making change.

[0003] However, no matter which of the above charging methods is used, the charges are based on the vehicle information of the current passing vehicle. The current billing method cannot support billing and settlement forms such as pre-designated vehicles for payment or third-party payment, and there is an obvious lack of flexibility in use. Summary of the invention

[0004] On the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for solving the problem that the existing high-speed toll collection method can only be paid at a fixed time and space for vehicle toll payment.

[0005] The method comprises the following steps: Receiving and saving registration information of the first user, the registration information including the first user information, and generating a related account according to the registration information of the first user; Receiving a vehicle pass pre-application from a first user; Generating first pass confirmation information according to the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user; receiving a confirmation feedback from the first user regarding the first access confirmation information, generating a pre-application permission and sending it to the first user; receiving a vehicle entry request, comparing the entry request with the pre-application permission, and releasing the vehicle after the comparison passes; Receive a departure request of the vehicle, compare the departure request with the pre-application permission, release the vehicle after the comparison is passed, generate a second pass confirmation message and send it to the first user, and pay the vehicle-related fees.

[0006] Through the above method, users can pre-process the highway pass for designated vehicles, and when the vehicle actually arrives at the entrance and exit of the highway, it can be released directly. When there is no ETC and other equipment, a series of operations such as no card collection, no card payment, and no manual code scanning payment can be realized at the highway toll station. At the same time, it can also realize the rapid release of multiple vehicles such as convoys, which improves the convenience of traffic processing for drivers and toll station personnel and greatly improves traffic efficiency.

[0009] In a possible implementation, obtaining the entry site and the exit site further includes: Generate a multi-level entry site group and a multi-level exit site group according to a preset range according to the starting point and the end point input by the first user or the second user; Sending the multi-level entry site group and the multi-level exit site group to the first user or the second user; An entry site group and an exit site group selected by a first user or a second user are received.

[0010] In a possible implementation, generating first pass confirmation information according to the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user further includes: Review the first user's vehicle pass pre-application; After the review is passed, the maximum toll is calculated according to the entry station in the multi-level entry station group and the exit station in the multi-level exit station group; A prepayment confirmation slip is generated based on the maximum toll, together with the vehicle information and travel time in the vehicle pass pre-application.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the receiving a confirmation feedback from the first user on the first pass confirmation information, and generating a pre-application permission and sending it to the first user further includes: Receiving confirmation information from the first user; deducting the maximum toll in the prepaid confirmation from the associated account, and sending a processing request to the first user when the balance in the associated account is insufficient to deduct the maximum toll; A processing feedback of the first user on the processing request is received, and after the maximum toll in the prepaid confirmation form is deducted, a pre-application permission is generated and sent to the first user.

[0012] In one possible implementation, generating a pre-application license and sending it to a first user also includes sending the pre-application license to a second user, the pre-application license includes identification information when sent to the second user, and when the identification information is identified as a second vehicle, the first vehicle information in the pre-application license is replaced by the second vehicle information and sent to the first user.

[0013] In a possible implementation, when the identification information is identified as the second vehicle, replacing the first vehicle information in the pre-application permission with the second vehicle information further includes: reading identification information presented by the second user; Verify the pre-application permission associated with the identification information; After verification, read the second vehicle information; The first vehicle information in the pre-application permission is replaced by the second vehicle information.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the receiving vehicle entry request is compared with the pre-application permission, and when the vehicle is released after the comparison, the vehicle is marked as pre-application permission, and other billing modes are closed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following is a further detailed description in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of the embodiments. Based on the following embodiments, all other embodiments proposed by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The disclosure of the embodiments provides many different implementations or examples to implement different schemes of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described in the embodiments. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, reference numerals and / or reference letters can be repeated in different examples in the embodiments, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various implementations and / or settings discussed.

[0019] In order to more clearly illustrate the implementation principle of this embodiment, several existing high-speed toll collection methods are first introduced to assist in understanding the differences between the embodiments of this application and the prior art in terms of technical implementation paths and technical effects achieved.

[0020] The existing highway toll collection methods mainly have two main technical directions: automatic toll collection and manual toll collection. Among them, automatic toll collection mainly refers to ETC electronic toll collection and similar electronic tag technology. The specific method is to install an on-board unit (OBU) with a DSRC wireless communication module on the vehicle. The on-board unit stores information such as the vehicle license plate number and vehicle model. When the vehicle enters the entrance of the highway, the section during the driving process, and the exit of the highway, the on-board unit communicates wirelessly with the entrance roadside unit (RSU), the section gantry system, and the exit roadside unit to complete vehicle identity recognition and driving path recognition. The billing system can calculate the distance traveled by the vehicle and calculate the corresponding highway toll for the vehicle. The deduction system deducts the vehicle-related fees from the stored-value card corresponding to the on-board unit; or release the vehicle first according to the white list, and then deduct the highway toll from the bank account corresponding to the account card bound to the license plate number.

[0021] There are two modes of deduction for ETC. The first mode is the stored-value card mode. Users first recharge their accounts in the provincial center, and then deposit the funds in the account into the IC card of the vehicle-mounted unit. When the vehicle reaches the highway exit, the lane system directly deducts the highway toll from the IC card of the vehicle-mounted unit to achieve the purpose of fast gate opening and fast passage. However, since the whole process of account opening, stored value, and deposit is relatively complicated, and there are few offline service outlets on highways, more time needs to be spent offline in order to pass through the gates quickly on highways. Currently, there are relatively few users of this mode. The second mode is the account card mode. Users authorize the personal account of the provincial center to bind their personal bank card. When the vehicle arrives at the highway exit, if it is judged to be an account card user, the gate will be opened first to release the vehicle, and then the toll will be deducted from the pre-bound bank card.

[0022] In addition to deducting highway tolls through ETC, manual collection is usually used for vehicles that have not opened an ETC account. When passing through the highway, a CPC composite card with a DSRC communication module and an NFC communication module is collected at the entrance of the highway. The DSRC communication module is used for wireless communication with the road section gantry system during the vehicle's driving process to record the vehicle's travel path. The entrance card issuing device writes the vehicle license plate number, entry time, entry site and other information to the CPC card through the NFC communication module. The exit card collecting device reads the entry information and travel path information recorded on the CPC card through the NFC communication module; the billing system calculates the vehicle toll based on the relevant information read from the CPC card; the lane toll system prompts the user the toll amount through LED display screens and other means. In view of the high penetration rate of mobile payment in China, the toll collection system collects highway tolls by scanning the payment codes of payment companies such as WeChat and Alipay on the user's mobile phone. The remaining small part still pays the toll in cash.

[0023] In the above two methods, the use of ETC automatic deduction toll passage requires the installation of relevant equipment on the vehicle side, and because ETC identification is the only release condition, it is not uncommon for car owners to encounter "ETC" robbery, and the car owners need to deal with the recovery afterwards; the debit card transaction has the risk of failure to deduct fees from the bound bank account afterwards, and needs to be recovered, and there is a risk of not being able to receive the relevant fees. The use of manual payment requires the operation of taking the card, handing in the card, reading the card, billing, and paying the fees at the entrance and exit of the highway. During holidays and heavy traffic, the long-term slow passage of the manual channel of the highway is also a normal phenomenon. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application aims to provide a vehicle toll settlement method that does not require additional configuration of special toll equipment and can avoid the problem of slow manual payment process. In particular, this method can also provide toll permits and fee settlement for other people's vehicles or multiple vehicles, providing a new high-speed settlement method in daily life and business activities.

[0024] In order to achieve the above purpose, Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle toll payment method that solves the problem that the existing high-speed toll collection method can only charge and settle the current vehicle. The method includes the following steps: S1. Receive and save the registration information of the first user, the registration information including the first user information, and generate an associated account according to the registration information of the first user; S2. Receive a vehicle pass pre-application from the first user; S3. Generate a first pass confirmation message based on the first user's vehicle pass pre-application; S4. Receive confirmation feedback from the first user on the first pass confirmation information, generate a pre-application license and send it to the first user; S5. Receive a vehicle entry request, compare the entry request with the pre-application permission, and release the vehicle after the comparison passes; S6. Receive a departure request from the vehicle, compare the departure request with the pre-application permission, release the vehicle after the comparison is passed, generate second pass confirmation information, send it to the first user and settle the account.

[0025] It should be noted that the steps executed by the vehicle toll billing and settlement method of this embodiment can be automatically executed by an executable program. The executable program can be installed in a variety of computing environments that can execute programs. The above steps are executed through the processing and interaction of data and information in a variety of computing environments. The computing environment includes but is not limited to computers, mobile phones, cloud computing hosts, servers, etc. The executable program can be an executable program under various operating systems, including website platforms, computer programs, APPs of mobile systems, mini-programs in APP environments, etc., and can also be used as additional functional modules in existing systems, such as functional modules in high-speed toll system environments, functional modules under navigation software, etc.

[0026] When working, the first user first submits registration information to register. The first user is the initiator of vehicle passage and the payer of vehicle billing and settlement fees. In order to realize fee payment, the registration information of the first user is received and saved in step S1, and the registration information includes the first user information, and an associated account is generated according to the registration information of the first user. The associated account can be a virtual account, that is, a virtual account in the software environment, which is used by the recharge of the first user; it can also be an actual account provided by the first user, that is, a bank account, including a savings card account or a credit card account; it can also be a digital account, that is, a digital RMB account. By initiating a smart contract, after the smart contract of the associated passage is reached, the funds are automatically paid directly from the digital RMB wallet, and the funds are received in real time, which effectively reduces the time cost of funds in transit caused by subsequent deductions, and the loss of tolls caused by the inability of the account card to deduct fees.

[0027] When the entry request and the exit request in the above steps S5 and S6 fail to pass the comparison with the pre-application permission, it means that the current vehicle to pass has no associated pre-application permission and can be executed according to the passage rules of ordinary vehicles without triggering the steps involved in the method of this embodiment.

[0028] After the setting is completed, step S2 receives the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user; Figure 2 As shown, the receiving of the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user further comprises the steps of: S21. Receive the starting point, end point and travel time input by the first user; S22. Obtain the entry site and exit site according to the starting point and end point input by the first user; S23. Receive first vehicle information input by a first user.

[0029] After completing the registration, the user can apply for vehicle pre-pass. The corresponding information can be submitted through pages provided by similar website platforms, computer programs, mobile system APPs, and mini-programs in the APP environment. In order to receive necessary information in the vehicle pass pre-application, in this embodiment, the user is first required to provide the starting point and end point of the pass, as well as the pass time. This operation can refer to the operation of existing navigation software, with the difference that the highway route is directly generated, the entry and exit points of the highway can be obtained, and the highway pass fee can be calculated accordingly. Then, the first vehicle information entered by the first user is accepted. The first vehicle information is the passing vehicle designated by the first user. The vehicle can be a vehicle driven by the first user himself or a vehicle driven by others. The vehicle's passage and settlement are both based on the information of the first vehicle. Therefore, the existing situation of being snatched by others during automatic payment can be effectively avoided.

[0030] In order to facilitate the first user to apply for vehicle pre-pass for self-driven vehicles or company vehicles that need to be repeatedly applied for vehicle pre-pass for a long time, the vehicle information can be bound when submitting the registration information in the aforementioned step S1, and one or more default vehicle information can be bound. The user can simply select from the bound vehicles each time an application for vehicle pre-pass is made to avoid repeated input; the historical input list can also be displayed in the form of a historical input list, and the vehicles in the historical input list can be sorted according to the input frequency, and selected from the sorted list, which can also achieve the purpose of reducing repeated input of vehicle information.

[0031] Preferably, each time the first vehicle information input by the first user is received in step S23, the first vehicle information is not limited to the information of one vehicle, but may also be a group of vehicles passing through the highway entrance and exit in the same time period, thereby meeting the traffic needs of a convoy scenario, for example.

[0032] It should be noted that the vehicles passing through the highway entrance and exit in the same time period do not necessarily need to pass continuously, because during the movement of the convoy, there are often vehicles that fall behind, or non-convoy vehicles that are inserted in the middle to sort the passage. Since the verification object during the passage of this embodiment is vehicle information, the problem of multiple vehicles passing discontinuously can be effectively avoided.

[0033] The above-mentioned vehicle information mainly includes license plate information. If necessary, the vehicle type can also be required. The vehicle types include small passenger cars, small trucks, large passenger cars, large trucks and other common vehicles that can travel at high speeds. Special work vehicles that require additional approval are not within the scope of discussion of the embodiments of this application.

[0034] In actual scenarios, when the first user asks to pay the highway toll for others for the purpose of invitation, the first user often does not know the specific information of the actual passing vehicle. Therefore, the first embodiment of the present application also provides another method for pre-application of a vehicle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method of receiving the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user further includes: S24. Receive the second user information input by the first user; S25. Initiate a pre-application information supplement to the second user corresponding to the second user information; S26. Receive the starting point, end point and travel time input by the second user; S27. Obtain the entry site and exit site according to the starting point and end point input by the second user; S28. Receive the first vehicle information input by the second user.

[0035] In the above step S24, the first user provides the information of the second user. For example, two options of self-provided and provided by another party may be provided in the application submission interface. After selecting provided by another party, the user enters the second user information, such as providing the second user's mobile phone, and then forwards the page to forward the page link to the second user. After mobile phone verification, the second user can log in to the page to supplement the pre-application information. The specific content of the subsequent steps is the same as the aforementioned S21-S23 and will not be repeated here.

[0036] In the execution process of the above embodiment, since steps S1-S4 are all performing traffic preprocessing, the traffic preprocessing means that the traffic is carried out at the planned time and place. When the traffic is actually carried out, the entry and exit sites of the first vehicle are often different from the planned entry or exit sites. In this case, the above method will exit the processing, so that the relevant operations of the traffic payment agency cannot be performed, which brings great restrictions to the traffic of the vehicle. In addition, the registered vehicle, for some reasons, travels on other routes and causes losses to the first user. Therefore, some strategies are needed to expand the selection redundancy of the entry and exit sites, but avoid being too broad to ensure the interests of the first user. In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the acquisition of the entry site and the exit site further includes: S231. Generate a multi-level entry site group and a multi-level exit site group according to the starting point and the end point input by the first user or the second user according to a preset range; After the first user or the second user inputs the starting point and the end point, multi-level entry station groups and multi-level exit station groups are generated, for example: entry station groups within 5 kilometers of the starting point, entry station groups in the district and county where the starting point is located, entry station groups in the city where the starting point is located, etc.; exit station groups within 5 kilometers of the end point, exit station groups in the district and county where the end point is located, exit station groups in the city where the end point is located, etc. Entry stations and exit stations can be included in the same group according to distance range, or they can be included in the same group according to administrative divisions.

[0037] After dividing the entry site group and the exit site group according to the above rules, proceed as follows: S232. Sending the multi-level entry site group and the multi-level exit site group to the first user or the second user; The first user or the second user selects a group range. After selecting the group range, proceed as follows: S233. Receive the entry site group and the exit site group selected by the first user or the second user.

[0038] Through the above processing, when the first vehicle enters and exits within the allowed entry and exit range, it will be consistent with the information of the vehicle pass pre-application, and the payment mechanism will be triggered. If it exceeds the range, no payment will be made, which can not only meet the flexibility of vehicle driving, but also effectively protect the rights and interests of the first user.

[0039] In this embodiment, according to the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user in step S3, Figure 5 As shown, generating the first pass confirmation information further includes: S31. Review the first user's vehicle pass pre-application; S32. After approval, the maximum toll is calculated based on the entry site in the multi-level entry site group and the exit site in the multi-level exit site; S33. Generate a prepayment confirmation slip based on the maximum toll, together with the vehicle information and travel time in the vehicle travel pre-application.

[0040] Step S31: The primary user reviews the compliance of the vehicle pass pre-application, including whether the set pre-pass time is after the current time, whether the vehicle information complies with the set rules, such as vehicle license plate number verification, etc. When the first user and the second user select multi-level entry site groups and multi-level exit site groups, step S32: calculate the maximum toll, Optionally, when the first user and the second user select specific entry and exit sites, step S32 may also calculate a single actual fee.

[0041] like Figure 6As shown, the step S4 of this embodiment of receiving the first user's confirmation feedback on the first pass confirmation information and generating a pre-application permission to send to the first user further includes: S41. Receive confirmation information from the first user; S42. Deducting the maximum toll in the prepaid confirmation from the associated account, and when the balance in the associated account is insufficient to deduct the maximum toll, sending a processing request to the first user; S43. Receive processing feedback from the first user on the processing request, and after the maximum toll in the prepaid confirmation form is deducted, generate a pre-application permission and send it to the first user.

[0042] Among them, in step S42, when the balance in the associated account is insufficient to deduct the maximum toll, a processing request is sent to the first user, and the processing request includes a recharge processing request and / or a trip processing request. The recharge processing request indicates sending a recharge prompt message to the user, prompting the user to recharge the associated account, and the trip processing request indicates selecting an entry site group and an exit site group with a balance sufficient to pay from the multi-level entry site group and the multi-level exit site group selected by the user according to the balance of the associated account of the first user, and prompting the user to modify the selected multi-level entry site group and the multi-level exit site group.

[0043] Correspondingly, the processing operation of the first user on the processing request in the step S43 includes a recharge processing response and a trip processing response, wherein the recharge processing response indicates that the first user recharges the associated account so that the balance in the associated account is sufficient to pay the maximum toll; the trip processing response indicates that the first user selects the corresponding entry site group and exit site group from the entry site group and exit site group with sufficient balance to pay.

[0044] Preferably, the recharge processing request and the trip processing request in the above step S42 can be processed cyclically according to the recharge processing response and the trip processing response in step S43. For example, when the user makes a recharge processing response, if the balance of the associated account after the recharge is still insufficient to pay the maximum toll in the multi-level entry site group and the multi-level exit site group initially selected, the recharge processing request can be made again and / or the entry site group and the exit site group with sufficient balance to pay can be re-planned according to the updated balance for selection by the first user.

[0045] When the first user still fails to make a valid response within the prescribed time, for example, before entering the pass time in step S21, the pass pre-application is closed.

[0046] Step S4 mainly performs the feedback of confirmation information and the deduction operation. When the user confirms the relevant information and pays the fee, the pass pre-application stage is completed, and a pre-application license is generated and sent to the first user to inform that the pass pre-application is approved.

[0047] Preferably, when the second user also participates in the pass pre-application, the pre-application permission is also sent to the second user.

[0048] Generally speaking, through the execution of the above-mentioned pre-application for passage, the second user can drive the designated vehicle into and out of the highway within the predetermined range without paying the fee by himself, and the fee is deducted from the prepaid fee of the first user.

[0049] During the actual passage process, the second user may temporarily change the vehicle. In this case, there are two results. The first result is that the aforementioned pre-application for passage cannot be executed. Even if the replaced vehicle completes the passage, the task is still pending and needs to be canceled by itself or expires. The second result is that the replaced vehicle does not have a corresponding pre-application task for passage. The vehicle cannot perform automatic passage and needs to pay by itself. In order to comprehensively solve the above situation, this implementation also provides a special solution.

[0050] When the pre-application permission is sent to the second user, the pre-application permission includes identification information. When the identification information is identified as the second vehicle, the first vehicle information in the pre-application permission is replaced with the second vehicle information and sent to the first user.

[0051] That is, when the pre-application permission is sent to the first user, the pre-application permission also includes an identification information in addition to the prompt information. The identification information may be an identification code, which includes the above-mentioned pre-application permission and an associated execution program. When the user drives a vehicle with changed vehicle information into the highway entrance, the identification code is provided during manual verification. The entry site scans the identification code manually or by equipment, and reads the vehicle information of the vehicle at the same time. After the pre-application permission is identified, the vehicle information of the current vehicle is written into the pre-application permission corresponding to the identification code. At this time, the current vehicle has the pre-application permission in real time, so that the vehicle can enter the highway without ETC or card picking, and will be automatically released when leaving. The toll will be deducted from the first user's account according to the pre-application permission, thereby solving the above-mentioned inconvenience caused by temporary vehicle change.

[0052] When step S5 is executed, the entry station obtains vehicle information and receives the vehicle's entry request. The vehicle information can be obtained through the license plate automatic recognition camera. When the recognized vehicle information is associated with a pre-application permission, the vehicle's entry behavior is regarded as an entry request, and the entry request is compared with the pre-application permission. The vehicle is released after the comparison is passed; Similarly, when step S6 is executed, the exit station obtains vehicle information and receives the vehicle's request to leave. The vehicle information can be obtained through the license plate automatic recognition camera. When the identified vehicle information is associated with a pre-application permit, the vehicle's exit behavior is regarded as an exit request, and the departure request is compared with the pre-application permit. After the comparison is passed, the vehicle is released and a second pass confirmation message is generated and sent to the first user for settlement. The settlement here is divided into two forms. When there is a prepayment in the previous step, a secondary settlement is performed based on the difference between the actual toll and the prepayment. When there is no prepayment in the previous step, a one-time settlement is performed at this time.

[0053] In specific execution logic, when the identification information is identified as the second vehicle, replacing the first vehicle information in the pre-application permission with the second vehicle information further includes: reading identification information presented by the second user; Verify the pre-application permission associated with the identification information; After verification, read the second vehicle information; The first vehicle information in the pre-application permission is replaced by the second vehicle information.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment, the receiving vehicle's entry request is compared with the pre-application permission. When the vehicle is released after the comparison, the vehicle is marked as pre-application permission and other billing modes are closed. This step solves the problem of the execution priority of the pre-application permission in this embodiment when the passing vehicle itself has other automatic release and payment functions such as ETC. When the vehicle to be passed has a pre-application permission, the pre-application permission is executed first and other billing modes are closed. This priority setting can effectively execute the operation of third-party payment on behalf of others and avoid the payment on behalf of the vehicle from being deducted from the payment mode of the vehicle itself.

[0055] The second embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle pass payment system, such as Figure 7 As shown, the system includes: The user-side module 1 is used to submit registration information and vehicle pre-application and / or receive pre-application permission; A pre-application module 2, comprising a pre-application processing unit 21 and an account processing unit 22; The road control module 3 includes a release control unit 31 and a settlement unit 32; Wherein, the user end module 1 submits registration information and vehicle pre-application; The pre-application processing unit 21 of the pre-application module 2 receives and saves the user's registration information, wherein the registration information includes the first user information; Receiving a vehicle pass pre-application from a first user; Generating first pass confirmation information according to the vehicle pass pre-application of the first user; receiving a confirmation feedback from the first user regarding the first access confirmation information, generating a pre-application permission and sending it to the first user; The account processing unit 22 of the pre-application module 2 generates a related account according to the registration information of the first user; The release control unit 31 of the road control module 3 is connected to the gate and video reading device of the highway exit, and receives the vehicle's entry request through the license plate recognition trigger of the video reading device, compares the entry request with the pre-application permission, and releases the vehicle after the comparison passes; The release control unit 31 of the road control module 3 also receives the vehicle's departure request, compares the departure request with the pre-application permission, releases the vehicle after the comparison and generates second pass confirmation information, sends it to the first user, and settles with the account processing unit 22 through the settlement unit 32.

[0056] The above modules and units execute the methods and steps provided in the above first embodiment, which will not be repeated here. In the second embodiment, the account payment method of digital RMB is introduced.

[0057] In the above conventional payment methods, due to the relatively independent highway operation account systems between provinces in my country, and the gradual development of public-private joint-venture highways, when vehicles travel across provinces or sections, although a one-time deduction is made from the user side, it is not possible to achieve real-time deductions across provincial networks between the highway operation accounts of each province and between joint-venture accounts; even for users within the province, since the provincial center and the lane system still need to forward data through the section center, and the provincial center has a large transaction volume and a large number of concurrent transactions, it takes a long time for the fees deducted from the user side to be settled between the various operating entities, and the road revenue status cannot be reflected in real time.

[0058] In this embodiment, a digital RMB wallet is established in the user's account processing unit and the settlement unit 32 of the road control module 3, which are respectively associated with the user and the settlement unit. By deploying a digital RMB smart contract containing the license plate number, when the vehicle arrives at the highway exit, the lane system and the billing module calculate the vehicle's toll, and send the toll to the payment management module. The payment management module deducts the corresponding amount of digital RMB as a toll from the corresponding digital RMB wallet based on the license plate number, and sends relevant instructions to the lane system to open the gate and release the vehicle, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly opening the gate to release the vehicle, as well as real-time funds arrival and no financial risk.

[0059] Users can bind their digital RMB wallets to their own and set the validity period for the binding of the wallet and license plate number, thereby achieving flexible vehicle use, in which tolls will only be deducted from the digital RMB wallet bound to the user during the period when the user uses the vehicle.

[0060] At the same time, corresponding execution codes can be added to each section of the highway in the smart contract, that is, to calculate the proportion of each operating section in the total sections, or the proportion of the joint venture. While executing the smart contract to deduct the toll from the user's digital RMB wallet, it can also automatically execute the toll sharing deduction at the time of each operating entity. The smart contract is automatically executed after the toll is completed. There is no need for additional financial operations such as accounting, transfer and payment between the various operating entities of the highway. The corresponding payment records are completely and truthfully recorded in the payment system, and data security and authenticity are well guaranteed.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the disclosure scope of the embodiments of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the embodiment description and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope supported by the embodiments of the present application.
