Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of Internet technologies, and more particularly, to a data processing method and system, a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium.
With the rapid development of communication technologies, Near Field Communication (NFC) has been gradually applied. NFC is a short-distance high-frequency wireless communication technology that enables simple and secure two-way interaction between a plurality of electronic devices. NFC technology evolves from the integration of a contactless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and an interconnection technology, can implement functions of an inductive card reader, an inductive card, and point-to-point communication on a single chip, allowing the chip to identify and exchange data with compatible devices over a short distance.
A terminal device equipped with NFC technology has the capability to emulate a physical Radio Frequency (RF) card. This means the terminal device can act as a physical RF card, such as an access control card, a bank card, or a public transportation card. To make a transaction, a user only needs to put the terminal device simulating the physical RF card near a card reader and enter a password to confirm the transaction, or only needs to swipe the card directly.
However, there are several limitations to the emulation of physical RF cards by terminal devices with NFC technology. For example, the operator of the physical RF cards or the Point of Sales (POS) terminals manufacturer may not allow such devices to emulate physical RF cards. As a result, the terminal device cannot act as a physical RF card, and the terminal device's owner must use the actual RF card for payments. Since data processing involving physical RF cards can be delayed, users are unable to immediately access their payment records via the terminal device. This delay is particularly problematic for an elderly or a child using the physical RF card, as it prevents real-time monitoring of their transactions.

Technical schemes and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clear from a detailed description of the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings. However, it may be understood by those having ordinary skills in the art that many technical details are provided in various embodiments of the present application to make readers better understand the present disclosure. The technical schemes claimed in the present application can be realized even without these technical details and various variations and modifications made based on the following embodiments. The following embodiments are divided for convenience of description and are not intended to constitute any limitation on the specific implementations of the present application. The embodiments may be combined or used as references for each other where there are no contradictions.
An embodiment of the present application relates to a data processing method, which is applied to a terminal device. Implementation details of the data processing method of this embodiment will be described below and the following contents are provided only for convenience of understanding and are not necessary for implementing the present scheme.
In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, smart glasses, a smart band, etc., supporting an NFC function. This embodiment and the following embodiments are described using a smart phone supporting the NFC function as an example.
At step 101, it is detected whether a first terminal device enters an RF field, where the first terminal device has enabled an NFC function.
At step 102, a payment record of an RF card is read when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time.
In an implementation, the NFC function of the first terminal device may be enabled all the time to detect in real time whether the first terminal device enters the RF field. When the first terminal device detects that it enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time, the first terminal device reads the payment record of the RF card. The preset time may be set by those having ordinary skills in the art according to actual needs, which is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In an embodiment, the first terminal device is provided with the RF card, the RF card provided in the first terminal device is a physical RF card, a card slot is provided on an inner side or an outer side of a back housing of the first terminal device, and the card slot is configured for fixing the RF card. The card slot is generally arranged at a position close to an NFC antenna of the first terminal device. The physical RF card may be a subway card, a bus card, a campus card, etc., which is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In an example, a card clip may be arranged on the outer side of the back housing of the first terminal device, the card clip is configured for fixing the RF card, and a position of the card clip corresponds to the position of the NFC antenna.
In an embodiment, when the RF card is in an RF field, the RF card may perform a payment activity via the RF field. In practice, the RF field may be generated by a device such as a subway automatic gate machine, a bus card reader, or a POS machine, or may be generated by a wireless charger based on an RF charging technology. It can be understood that the RF card can perform a payment activity in the RF field generated by a device such as the subway automatic gate machine, the bus card reader, or the POS machine, but cannot perform a payment activity in the RF field generated by the wireless charger. Therefore, in this embodiment, it may need to be determined whether the first terminal device leaves the RF field within a preset time after entering the RF field. The preset time may be set to be short, for example, 10 seconds. If the first terminal device determines that it enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within 10 seconds, the first terminal device may determine that the RF field is generated by a device such as the subway automatic gate machine, the bus card reader, or the POS machine, and the RF card has performed a payment activity. The first terminal device reads a payment record of the RF card. In this way, it can be determined more accurately whether the RF card performs a payment, to better meet the actual needs of the user.
In an embodiment, if the first terminal device does not detect its entry into the RF field, the first terminal device may remain in the detection state, until the first terminal device detects its entry the RF field.
In an example, the first terminal device may detect according to an identification message whether the first terminal device enters the RF field. The identification message at least includes an RF_FIELD_INFO_NTF message in an NFC Controller Interface (NCI) protocol. When the first terminal device enters the RF field, the first terminal device can detect according to the identification message such as the RF_FIELD_INFO_NTF message whether the first terminal device leaves the RF field within a preset time. The RF_FIELD_INFO_NTF message is a standard message specified in the NCI protocol. The RF_FIELD_INFO_NTF message is more accurate and reliable in detecting whether the first terminal device enters or leaves the RF field.
At step 103, the payment record is sent to a second terminal device.
In an implementation, after reading the payment record of the RF card, the first terminal device may send the acquired payment record of the RF card to the second terminal device for viewing on the second terminal device.
In an example, after acquiring the payment record of the RF card, the first terminal device may send the acquired payment record of the RF card to the second terminal device in the form of a Short Messaging Service (SMS) message according to a phone number of the second terminal device, for viewing on the second terminal device.
In an example, after acquiring the payment record of the RF card, the first terminal device may notify a pre-developed payment query application, such that the payment query application sends the acquired payment record of the RF card to the registered second terminal device in the form of an in-application short message.
In an embodiment, after sending the payment record to the second terminal device, the first terminal device may start a new round of monitoring and continue to detect its entry into an RF field.
According to the data processing method and system, the terminal, and the computer-readable storage medium, provided in the present disclosure, a first terminal device has enabled an NFC function, the first terminal device is provided with an RF card, and the RF card is configured for making a payment via an RF field. The first terminal device can detect in real time whether it enters an RF field. If the first terminal device detects that it enters an RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time, the first terminal device may read the RF card provided therein to acquire a payment record of the RF card. After acquiring the payment record of the RF card, the first terminal device may send the payment record of the RF card to a second terminal device, for viewing on the second terminal device. When the first terminal device cannot simulate the RF card, the holder of the first terminal device has to use the RF card for payment. Because there is a delay in data processing, i.e., updating of the payment record, the holder of the second terminal device cannot monitor in real time the payment of the holder of the first terminal device. In this embodiment, with the arrangement of the RF card in the first terminal device, when the first terminal device detects that it enters an RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time, the first terminal device determines that a payment event occurs. In this case, the first terminal device reads the RF card to acquire the payment record of the RF card, and sends the payment record to the second terminal device in real time. In this way, the user, i.e., the holder of the second terminal device, can monitor in real time the payments made by the holder of the first terminal device who is an elderly person or child, thereby improving use experience of the user.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a data processing method. Implementation details of the data processing method of this embodiment will be described below and the following contents are provided only for convenience of understanding and are not necessary for implementing the present scheme.
At step 201, it is detected whether a first terminal device enters an RF field, where the first terminal device has enabled an NFC function and has not enabled a card reading function in the NFC function.
At step 202, the card reading function is enabled when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time.
In an implementation, the NFC function of the first terminal device is enabled all the time, but the first terminal device does not enable the card reading function in the NFC function before leaving the RF field. When the first terminal device determines that it enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time, the first terminal device enables the card reading function in the NFC function.
In an embodiment, considering that the first terminal device generates an RF field after enabling the card reading function in the NFC function, if the first terminal device enters an RF field generated by a device such as a subway automatic gate machine, a bus card reader, or a POS machine, it means that the RF card arranged in the first terminal device is in two RF fields at the same time. In this case, the first terminal device may fail to read the RF card, and a payment made by the RF card may also fail. Therefore, in this embodiment, the NFC function is refined, and the card reading function in the NFC function is enabled only after the first terminal device leaves the RF field, to ensure that the RF card enters only one RF field at a time, and prevent the payment failure caused by interference in the payment process of the RF card.
At step 203, a payment record of the RF card is read.
Step 203 is substantially the same as step 102, so the details will not be repeated herein.
At step 204, the payment record is sent to a second terminal device.
In an embodiment, after sending the payment record to the second terminal device, the first terminal device may disable the card reading function in the NFC function to ensure that the first terminal device does not generate an RF field. In this way, when the first terminal device enters an RF field next time, the RF card enters only an RF field generated by a device such as a subway automatic gate machine, a bus card reader, or a POS machine, thereby ensuring that the RF card can smoothly perform a payment activity.
In this embodiment, before the first terminal device leaves the RF field, the first terminal device does not enable the card reading function in the NFC function; and reading a payment record of the RF card when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time includes: enabling the card reading function when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time; and reading the payment record of the RF card. By default, the first terminal device does not enable the card reading function. Only when the first terminal device detects that it enters an RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time, the first terminal device enables the card reading function to read the payment record of the RF card. This can effectively prevent the RF field of the first terminal device from interfering with the payment of the RF card and ensure the normal payment of the RF card.
In another embodiment, the holder of the second terminal device may monitor the location of the holder of the first terminal device in real time by performing steps 301 to 302 shown in
At step 301, location information of the first terminal device is acquired.
At step 302, the location information of the first terminal device and the payment record are sent to the second terminal device.
In an implementation, after reading the payment record of the RF card, the first terminal device may enable a positioning function, acquire a real-time location of the first terminal device, generate location information of the first terminal device, and send the location information of the first terminal device and the payment record to the second terminal device, for viewing on the second terminal device.
In an embodiment, the user not only cares about payments made by the elderly person or child, but also cares more about where the elderly person or child makes the payments. For example, the first terminal device is held by a student, and a payment record is purchase of instant noodles. Purchase of instant noodles from a school supermarket and purchase of instant noodles from an Internet café are of different importance to the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first terminal device may acquire the location of the first terminal device in real time after acquiring the payment record, and send the location information of the first terminal device and the payment record to the second terminal device, for the user to monitor where the holder of the first terminal device makes the payment, to better meet usage demands of the user.
In an example, after acquiring the location information of the first terminal device, the first terminal device may carry the location information of the first terminal device in the payment record. In this case, the sending of the payment record by the first terminal device to the second terminal device for viewing on the second terminal device means that the location information of the first terminal device is sent to the second terminal device for viewing on the second terminal device. In some scenarios, the payment record of the RF card already carries location information. For example, in the case of subway ride consumption, the payment record may show that the first terminal device enters at Station A and exits at Station B. In this case, the location information of the first terminal device is carried in the payment record, and the first terminal device may only need to send the payment record to the second terminal device, thereby reducing the amount of data exchanged to better meet usage demands of the user.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a data processing method. Implementation details of the data processing method of this embodiment will be described below and the following contents are provided only for convenience of understanding and are not necessary for implementing the present scheme.
At step 401, it is detected whether a first terminal device enters an RF field, where the first terminal device has enabled an NFC function.
Step 401 is substantially the same as step 101, so the details will not be repeated herein.
At step 402, balance information of an RF card is read when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time.
In an implementation, when the first terminal device detects that it enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time, the first terminal device may read the balance information of the RF card. The balance information may represent an account balance in the RF card.
At step 403, it is determined whether the balance information acquired this time is the same as previous balance information acquired last time. If yes, step 401 is executed; otherwise, step 404 is executed.
At step 404, a payment record of the RF card is acquired.
In an embodiment, after acquiring the balance information of the RF card, the first terminal device can determine whether the balance information acquired this time is the same as the previous balance information acquired last time. If the balance information acquired this time is different from the previous balance information acquired last time, it indicates that the RF card has made a payment, and the first terminal device can acquire the payment record of the RF card.
In an example, the first terminal device determines that the balance information acquired this time is the same as the previous balance information acquired last time, indicating that the RF card, though having entered the RF field, has not made a payment. In this case, the first terminal device may do not need to acquire the payment record, and the first terminal device exits the current payment query process, and performs a next round of monitoring to continue to detect whether the first terminal device enters an RF field.
At step 405, the payment record is sent to a second terminal device.
Step 405 is substantially the same as step 103, so the details will not be repeated herein.
In this embodiment, acquiring a payment record of the RF card includes: reading the RF card and acquiring balance information of the RF card; and when the balance information is the same as previous balance information acquired last time, determining that no payment has been made using the RF card, and detecting again whether the first terminal device enters the RF field; or when the balance information is different from the previous balance information acquired last time, acquiring the payment record of the RF card. When the first terminal device detects that it enters an RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time, the first terminal device may perform second detection to detect whether the balance of the RF card changes. If the balance does not change, it indicates that the RF card has not made a payment, and the first terminal device re-detects whether the first terminal device enters an RF field. If the balance changes, it indicates that the RF card has made a payment, and the first terminal device acquires the payment record of the RF card. This can effectively prevent the first terminal device from sending useless blank payment records to the second terminal device, thereby reducing unnecessary information exchange and saving communication resources.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a data processing method. Implementation details of the data processing method of this embodiment will be described below and the following contents are provided only for convenience of understanding and are not necessary for implementing the present scheme.
At step 501, it is detected whether a first terminal device enters an RF field, where the first terminal device has enabled an NFC function and has not enabled a card reading function in the NFC function.
At step 502, the card reading function is enabled when the first terminal device enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within a preset time.
At step 503, balance information of the RF card is read.
At step 504, it is determined whether the balance information acquired this time is the same as previous balance information acquired last time. If yes, step 501 is executed; otherwise, step 505 is executed.
At step 505, a payment record of the RF card is acquired.
At step 506, the payment record is sent to a second terminal device.

The RF card 602 is configured for performing a payment via the RF field when the first terminal device 601 enters the RF field and leaves the RF field within the preset time.
The second terminal device 603 is configured for receiving the payment record sent by the first terminal device 601.
