Solution Overview

Problem

Current payment processing methods in intelligent devices are complex and inefficient, leading to a low payment success rate due to manual input errors and time-consuming processes when users initiate payment requests in interactive entertainment applications.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent device intercepts payment requests, generates a graphic code based on payment parameters, and outputs it for scanning by a terminal device, which submits the payment information to a payment server, simplifying the payment process and reducing manual input errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual input method is used for payment, then payment flexibility is maintained, but payment efficiency deteriorates and error rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment flexibilityVSAvoidpayment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual input system with an optical recognition system. The terminal device captures images of payment information (such as barcodes or QR codes) and automatically extracts payment data, substituting the manual typing mechanism with automated optical character recognition and image processing technologies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service payment by allowing the terminal device to automatically capture, process, and submit payment information without requiring user intervention for data entry. The device autonomously completes the payment process by recognizing payment information from images and transmitting it to the payment server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If manual input method is used for payment, then user control is maintained, but payment success rate deteriorates due to input errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidpayment success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the mechanical typing process that causes input errors by using optical recognition. The terminal device automatically captures payment information through imaging and uses recognition algorithms to extract accurate data, removing the source of manual input errors while maintaining user initiation control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of manually entering payment information, the system creates an optical copy (image) of the payment data and uses automated recognition to extract the information. This copying approach ensures accuracy by directly capturing the original payment information rather than relying on manual transcription.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If complex payment interface is used, then payment options are comprehensive, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment optionsVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the payment information input process from the complex payment interface. By separating the information capture function (through image recognition) from the payment processing interface, the system simplifies user interaction while maintaining comprehensive payment options on the server side.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (image recognition technology) between the user and the payment system. The terminal device acts as an intermediary that automatically processes payment information capture and submission, reducing the complexity of direct user-interface interaction while preserving multiple payment options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
