Unified Payment Interface Sliding Confirmation Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional online payment systems disrupt user experience with extra interfaces for confirmation, leading to inconvenience and potential economic losses due to insufficient consideration or operation mistakes.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that provide one-step payment approval and confirmation by concurrently displaying a data entry region and a confirmation region, where a sliding input following a predefined motion path executes the payment operation, ensuring user intent is confirmed without accidental button clicks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an extra user interface (confirmation webpage, pop-up window, dialogue box) is provided for payment confirmation, then payment security is improved by preventing accidental payments, but user convenience deteriorates due to disrupted payment process continuity and additional user steps required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the payment entry interface and confirmation interface into a single unified interface. The confirmation region is integrated within the same screen as the payment information display, allowing users to review payment details and provide confirmation without navigating to a separate page or dealing with pop-up windows. This merging eliminates the disruption caused by extra interfaces while maintaining the security function of payment confirmation.
2Reliability
If an extra user interface is provided for payment confirmation, then payment security is improved by requiring explicit user confirmation, but payment process efficiency deteriorates due to additional time and steps required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains the continuity of the payment process by keeping the confirmation function within the same interface flow. Users can complete the payment operation in a continuous sequence of actions without interruption to the overall process flow. The confirmation region is positioned and designed to allow seamless interaction, preserving the efficiency of the payment process while ensuring security through explicit confirmation.
3Measurement precision
If a sliding input following a predefined motion path is required for confirmation, then accuracy of user intent detection is improved by reducing accidental clicks, but operation complexity increases due to the specific gesture requirement
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a simple click or tap that is easy to execute but prone to accidents, the patent inverts the approach by requiring a sliding gesture along a predefined motion path. This reversal of the typical confirmation method (from point-and-click to path-following) provides more precise detection of intentional user action. The sliding gesture requires deliberate movement along a specific trajectory, making it difficult to trigger accidentally while remaining a natural touch screen interaction.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and device for providing one-step payment approval and confirmation are disclosed. The device concurrently displays a data entry region and a confirmation region in a user interface of the device, where the data entry region is to accept user entry of payment data associated with a payment operation and the confirmation region is to require a sliding input to cause execution of the payment operation. While displaying the data entry region containing payment data received from a user, the device detects a user input in the confirmation region of the user interface. The device determines, in accordance with a predetermined criterion, whether the detected user input qualifies as a sliding input that follows a predefined motion path. Upon determining that the detected user input qualifies as the required sliding input, the electronic device executes the payment operation in accordance with the received payment data.
