Secure B2B Payment System Using Acquisition Device and Security Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for secure payment methods in the commercial B2B sector that can handle large payment amounts while ensuring high security standards.
Innovation Solution
A payment system comprising a system component, an acquisition device, and a security module, where the acquisition device acquires a value representative of a status or operating parameter and sends it to the security module, which generates billing information based on this value.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional payment methods are used in the B2B sector, then payment processing is simple, but security requirements are not met for large payment amounts
Solution Approach 1:
A security module is introduced as an intermediary component between the system component and the payment processing system. This security module generates billing information based on acquisition values from status and operating parameters, thereby enhancing payment security without requiring complete system redesign. The intermediary handles the complex security requirements while keeping the overall system integration manageable.
2Reliability
If a secure payment system is implemented, then payment security is improved, but ease of implementation in existing systems deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The payment system is segmented into distinct functional components: a system component that provides service, an acquisition device that collects status and operating parameter data, and a security module that generates billing information. This segmentation allows each component to be implemented and integrated independently into existing systems, reducing the overall complexity of implementation while maintaining high security standards.
3Measurement precision
If consumption-based payment is implemented, then payment accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system component automatically provides its own status and operating parameter data to the acquisition device, which then feeds this information to the security module for billing information generation. This self-service approach eliminates the need for manual data collection and processing, thereby improving payment accuracy based on actual consumption while minimizing the additional complexity that would arise from manual intervention.
