Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for displaying a payment page on electronic devices are inconvenient and time-consuming, requiring users to manually navigate to a 'Payment' button, leading to low payment efficiency and poor user experience, especially in scenarios where multiple users are waiting to make payments.

Innovation Solution

A method where a client computing device automatically displays a payment page with a user authorization code upon receiving a predetermined characteristic signal within a specific range, eliminating the need for users to manually select the 'Payment' button, using signal receivers and processors to determine the signal type and control the display accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the user manually navigates to and taps the 'Payment' button on the initial page, then the payment page can be displayed, but the payment process takes too much time and payment efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepayment efficiencyVSAvoidtime for payment process

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically displaying the payment page in advance when the user enters the payment interface, without waiting for manual button tapping. The payment page is prepared and shown proactively, eliminating the time delay between user intent and payment interface display.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically detecting when the user needs the payment page and displaying it without requiring manual intervention. The electronic device autonomously monitors user actions and triggers the payment page display based on detected conditions, making the system self-activating rather than requiring user initiation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the user taps buttons on the initial page to access payment function, then the payment page can be displayed, but the operation becomes complicated and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of payment accessVSAvoidnumber of buttons and navigation steps

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects when the user enters the payment interface and displays the payment page without requiring the user to manually tap buttons or navigate through multiple screens. This self-activating mechanism eliminates complex user operations and provides a seamless experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical button-tapping system with an automated detection and display system. Instead of requiring physical user actions on buttons, the system uses automated monitoring of user presence in the payment interface to trigger the payment page display, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated electronic detection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Techniques for displaying a payment page based on the proximity of a payment device to a client computing device are described. One example method includes receiving, at a client computing device, a signal when the client computing device is within a predetermined range of a source of the signal; determining, by the client computing device, that the signal is a predetermined characteristic signal sent by an electronic device of a payee; and in response to determining that the received signal is the predetermined characteristic signal, displaying, by the client computing device, a payment page configured to be read by the electronic device of the payee to perform an electronic payment.
