Service Code Management for Group Transit Payments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile payment systems for public transportation require users to generate multiple two-dimensional codes when traveling with others, leading to cumbersome operations and a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and apparatus that provides a service code management interface, allowing users to input and generate multiple service codes with the same user identification information, which can be displayed for simplified scanning and payment processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If users generate multiple two-dimensional codes manually for group travel, then multiple service codes are obtained, but user operations become cumbersome and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple code generation operations into a single unified operation. When a user initiates a payment request, the system automatically generates multiple service codes (first service code for the current user, second service code for the group member) through one payment action, eliminating the need for separate manual generation operations for each code.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic service code generation and management without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal device automatically generates service codes, manages their distribution, and handles the payment process for multiple users, allowing the system to serve itself in the code generation task.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple service codes are generated through separate operations, then all users can travel together, but the payment process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating and pre-distributing service codes to multiple users before they actually need to use them for travel. The first service code is provided to the current user and the second service code is transmitted to the group member in advance, so when travel time arrives, all codes are ready for immediate use without additional processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple payment operations into a single unified payment request. The system processes one payment that simultaneously generates and validates multiple service codes for the entire group, reducing the total payment processing time from multiple separate transactions to a single transaction.
