Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience and difficulty in temporarily setting and resetting mobile payment cards for payments, as existing methods require cumbersome operations and are not intuitive, especially in the early stages of mobile commerce.

Innovation Solution

A method for setting a temporary payment card by displaying a list of mobile payment cards, allowing users to select and move one for temporary use, with automatic resetting when a payable time passes, and extending or terminating the time based on user interactions, providing visual and animation effects for intuitive operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users manually set and reset main payment cards for temporary payments, then payment flexibility is improved, but operation complexity and user burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment flexibilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-sets a default main payment card and automatically switches to alternative payment cards when needed. The temporary payment card is prepared in advance as a secondary option, and the system automatically manages the switching process without requiring users to manually configure each payment scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects when a temporary payment is needed and handles the card switching process itself. After the temporary payment is completed, the system automatically resets and returns to the original main payment card configuration, eliminating the need for user intervention in the reset process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If users change main payment cards frequently for different payments, then payment variety is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment varietyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple payment cards are pre-configured in the system with designated roles (main card, temporary cards). When a temporary payment is needed, the system automatically selects from pre-prepared alternative cards rather than requiring users to search and configure options during the payment moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages the selection and switching between payment cards based on payment requirements. The automatic reset function quickly returns to the original configuration after temporary use, minimizing the time users spend managing card settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides detailed operations for setting temporary payment cards, then functionality is improved, but ease of use deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides intelligent defaults and automatic configuration for temporary payment cards. Users simply need to indicate they want to use a different payment method, and the system automatically handles card selection, switching, and reset operations without requiring users to navigate complex settings or understand detailed operational procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
