Solution Overview

Problem

Existing quick payment methods experience low payment success rates and poor user experience due to invalid quick payment agreements, which are often unresolved through complex and inefficient card rebinding processes.

Innovation Solution

A payment method and apparatus that detects invalid quick payment agreements and prompts users to rebind their bank cards through a user-friendly interface, allowing for seamless rebinding and continued payment processing without interrupting the transaction, utilizing a server-generated prompt to guide users through the rebinding process and utilizing stored identity information to streamline the reconnection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a quick payment method is used, then payment convenience is improved, but payment reliability deteriorates when the quick payment agreement becomes invalid

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepayment convenienceVSAvoidpayment success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of the quick payment agreement status before executing the payment. When the agreement is detected as invalid, the system proactively triggers the rebinding process in advance, preventing payment failure before it occurs. This preliminary action ensures that the payment pathway is validated and repaired beforehand, maintaining both convenience and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors the validity of the quick payment agreement. When invalidity is detected, the system provides feedback to the user through prompts and guidance, enabling the user to rebind the card. This closed-loop feedback ensures that payment reliability is maintained by addressing issues as they arise rather than allowing payment failures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of this specification disclose a payment method, apparatus, and device. The method includes the following: A payment operation performed by a user for a target order by using a target bank card is obtained; status information of a quick payment agreement of the target bank card is obtained; when the status information indicates that the quick payment agreement of the target bank card is in an invalid state, first prompt information for prompting the user to rebind the target bank card is generated; confirmation operation information that is entered by the user based on the first prompt information and that is used to confirm rebinding of the target bank card is received; the target bank card is rebound; and a payment of the target order is completed based on the rebound target bank card.
