Automatic Approval Number Recognition in DMB E-Commerce
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current DMB terminals require manual input of approval numbers received via SMS messages, causing inconvenience and preventing their reuse within the same web page, leading to screen shifts and increased user effort during electronic commerce transactions.
Innovation Solution
A method for automatically recognizing and retransmitting approval numbers received through SMS messages within a DMB terminal, allowing seamless integration with browsing services without screen shifts, using a communication module to receive SMS messages and a DMB service module to maintain active browsing states, enabling automatic input into payment columns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the DMB terminal shifts to SMS mode to check the approval number, then the approval number can be received and displayed, but the browsing service is interrupted and the approval number cannot be reused in the original web page
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the SMS message checking function with the active DMB browsing service by displaying the SMS message content (approval number) within the current browsing window rather than switching to a separate SMS mode. This integration allows users to view the approval number without leaving the e-commerce web page, enabling seamless reuse of the approval number in the payment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent displays the SMS message content in a different dimensional form by extracting and showing the approval number as visible text within the browsing service interface. Instead of requiring users to switch modes to view the message, the approval number is presented in the same dimensional space as the browsing content, allowing direct interaction without mode transition.
2Reliability
If the user manually inputs the approval number through key input, then the payment can be completed, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic recognition and input of the approval number by the DMB terminal system itself. The terminal automatically detects the approval number from the displayed SMS message content and inputs it into the payment field without requiring manual key input from the user. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually type the approval number, significantly simplifying the operation while ensuring reliable payment completion.
3Loss of information
If the terminal performs screen shift to check SMS message, then the message can be viewed, but the approval number cannot be reused in the original e-commerce page
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the SMS message viewing function with the e-commerce browsing function by displaying the message content directly within the browsing context. This merging ensures that the approval number remains accessible in the original e-commerce page environment, maintaining its reusability for payment without requiring screen shifts or mode changes.
