Offline Payment Information Push via Terminal Probing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In offline electronic transaction scenarios, there is a need to enhance electronic payment efficiency, particularly in environments with a large number of users, where existing methods lack effective means to improve payment processing speed and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An offline information pushing method and apparatus that involves a broadcast device probing terminal identifier data, uploading it to a server, matching information pushing conditions, and broadcasting relevant information to encourage users to utilize the payment system efficiently, such as by offering discounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users make payments in offline scenarios without advance preparation, then payment processing requires more time, but payment efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by probing terminal identifiers in advance, matching them with user information, and pushing payment preparation notifications to users before they arrive at the payment scene. This allows users to open payment applications and prepare payment credentials beforehand, reducing actual payment processing time and improving overall payment efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If discount information is pushed to users in advance, then user engagement with payment system increases, but information transmission infrastructure is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary information push server that acts as a mediator between the probe device and user terminals. The server receives terminal identifiers from the probe device, matches them with user information, and pushes discount and payment information to users. This intermediary approach enables efficient information transmission without requiring direct complex infrastructure between probing devices and numerous user terminals
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the information push server sends push notifications to users based on matched terminal identifiers, and users can provide responses through their terminals. This feedback loop allows the system to adjust and optimize information pushing strategies, improving user engagement while managing infrastructure requirements efficiently
Data Source
AI summary
Probing data comprising terminal identifier data is received by a broadcast device, the terminal identifier data identifying terminals that are located within a predetermined distance of the broadcast device. The probing data is uploaded by the broadcast device to a server. An information pushing condition is matched by the server based on the terminal identifier data. Information corresponding to an information pushing condition matching the terminal identifier data is pushed by the server to the broadcast device. The received corresponding information is broadcast by the broadcast device.
