Automated Order Sharing and Settlement System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for utilizing coupons or discounts in e-commerce and retail settings are cumbersome and time-consuming, particularly when the total price of items does not meet the required usage condition, lacking a reliable mechanism for timely reclamation of payable amounts.
Innovation Solution
An order processing method and terminal system that automatically combines and settles multiple orders by generating an invitation message based on order information and conditions, allowing for automatic processing and settlement when the combined order meets the required conditions, eliminating the need for manual user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual methods (telephone call, SMS message) are used to coordinate order sharing between users, then order sharing can be achieved, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated order combination and settlement processing without requiring manual coordination between users. The server automatically matches orders, combines them when conditions are met, and processes settlements, eliminating the need for users to manually contact each other via telephone or SMS.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical communication methods (telephone calls, SMS messages) with an automated electronic system. The server-based platform automatically handles order matching, combination, and settlement through electronic data processing, substituting human-to-human communication with machine-to-machine automation.
2Reliability
If manual coordination is used for order sharing, then users can combine orders, but there is no reliable mechanism to ensure timely reclamation of payable amounts
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback mechanisms where the server continuously monitors order status, combination conditions, and settlement states. When combined orders meet the payable amount conditions, the system automatically triggers settlement processes and notifies relevant users, ensuring reliable and timely reclamation without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between users, automatically managing the complex settlement process. It handles order matching, condition verification, payable amount calculation, and settlement execution, simplifying the process for users while ensuring reliable financial transactions through centralized automated control.
3Productivity
If automated combination processing is implemented, then success rate and convenience of order sharing are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle diverse order combination scenarios, different payable amount conditions, and various settlement methods within a single unified system. This universal platform can process multiple types of orders and apply different combination rules, improving success rates while consolidating complexity into a single robust system rather than requiring separate mechanisms for each scenario.

AI summary
An order processing method comprising: obtaining first order information and order sharing condition information, and generating an order sharing invitation message according to the first order information and the order sharing condition information; receiving an answer message returned by a target terminal according to the order sharing invitation message, and obtaining, according to the answer message, second order information and an acknowledged data transfer state indicated by the second order information; performing combination processing on the first order information and the second order information according to the acknowledged data transfer state returned by the target terminal, and generating settlement order information; and performing settlement on the settlement order information according to the order sharing condition information when the settlement order information meets an order sharing condition indicated by the order sharing condition information.
