DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Technical solutions according to the embodiments of the disclosure are described in conjunction with the drawings. The described embodiments are only a few rather than all of the embodiments of the invention. Any other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments according to the present disclosure without any creative work fall in the protection scope of the present claims.

A method and an apparatus for processing data are provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is no need to input a password to a user device, which simplifies the operations and improves efficiency. In addition, with the embodiments of the present disclosure, passwords can be effectively prevented from being stolen and security of a mobile application can be improved. The method and the apparatus are described in detail hereinafter.

FIG. 1, is a flowchart of a method for processing data according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The method described in FIG. 1 may be applied to, for example, mobile online shopping or mobile online money transferring. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for processing data may include steps S101 to S104.

In step S101, a service terminal receives a data processing request sent by a client, where the data processing request may include, for example, an identifier of an access point of the client.

The service terminal may be a device or system such as a server, a service system or a third-party payment platform, which is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.

The client may be a payment client application, or a user device on which a payment client application is run, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, an IPAD or a mobile internet device (MID).

For example, the service terminal and the client may be connected to each other through a network. The client is connected to the network via the access point.

The access point above may be a wireless access point such as a wireless router in a house of a user or a wireless router in a car of the user. The identifier of the access point may generally include a MAC address of the access point, a name of the access point and a machine identification code of the access point, which is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure. The client and the access point may be wirelessly connected to each other, for example, via WiFi, Bluetooth or NFC.

The data processing request may be a payment request or a transfer request, for example. And the data processing request may include a payment amount (or a transfer amount) and a receiver identifier (or a receiver account). The receiver identifier may be also called a recipient identity identifier. The receiver identifier may include a company name and a personal name of a receiver. Furthermore, the data processing request may further include detailed information, such as an order number and product information.

In a scenario of mobile online shopping, the user may log into a shopping platform through a shopping entrance provided by the client, and select a product labeled with price information in the shopping platform. Accordingly, the shopping platform may detect the product, selected by the user, labeled with the price information, calculate a payment or transfer amount based on the price information of the selected product, and send information such as the payment or transfer amount and a receiver identifier corresponding to the selected product to the client. Accordingly, the client displays a screen for displaying the payment or transfer amount and the receiver identifier, the screen may include a sending menu. Furthermore, the user may perform an operation, such as a single click, on the sending menu, to trigger the client to obtain the identifier of the access point to which the client accesses, and the client generates the data processing request and sends the data processing request to the service terminal.

In step S102, the service terminal determines whether the access point is a credit access point for the client, and obtains a distance value between the client and the access point in a case that the access point is the credit access point for the client.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the service terminal may store an identifier of the credit access point for the client in advance. In this way, after the service terminal receives the data processing request including the identifier of the access point of the client sent by the client, the service terminal may determine whether the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client. In a case that the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client, it is determined that the access point is the credit access point for the client. In a case that the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is not identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client, it is determined the access point is not the credit access point for the client.

In an embodiment, in a case that the client and the access point each are provided with a locating function (for example, a GPS locating function), the service terminal obtaining the distance value between the client and the access point in step S102 above may include the following steps S11 to S13.

In step S11, the service terminal sends a location obtaining instruction to each of the client and the access point.

In step S12, the service terminal receives location information of the client sent by the client in response to the location obtaining instruction and location information of the access point sent by the access point in response to the location obtaining instruction.

In step S13, the service terminal calculates the distance value between the client and the access point based on the location information of the client and the location information of the access point.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the location information above may include latitude and longitude coordinates.

In another embodiment, in a case that the client can start smart distance value measuring application software, the service terminal obtaining the distance value between the client and the access point in step S102 above may include the following steps S21 and S22.

In step S21, the service terminal sends a distance value obtaining instruction to the client, to trigger the client to obtain the distance value between the client and the access point in response to the distance value obtaining instruction.

In step S22, the service terminal receives the distance value between the client and the access point sent by the client.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the client may start the smart distance value measuring application software (for example, Smart Distance) in response to the distance value obtaining instruction, to detect the distance value between the client and the access point with the smart distance value measuring application software, where Smart Distance is an application for measuring distance values with a camera.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in a case that the service terminal determines that the access point is not the credit access point for the client, the service terminal may request the client to send to-be-verified information, and verify whether the to-be-verified information sent by the client is identical with authorization verification information stored in the service terminal. In a case that the to-be-verified information is identical with the authorization verification information, the service terminal accepts the data processing request. For example, the service terminal deducts the payment or transfer amount from a bound account of the client and adds the deducted amount to the receiver account corresponding to the receiver identifier. In a case that the to-be-verified information is not identical with the authorization verification information, the service terminal prompts the client that the to-be-verified information fails to pass the verification, and denies the data processing request.

The to-be-verified information above may be, for example, any one of or combination of a to-be-verified password, to-be-verified fingerprint information, to-be-verified facial information, to-be-verified iris information, to-be-verified retina information and to-be-verified voiceprint information.

In step S103, the service terminal determines whether the distance value exceeds a preset credit distance threshold (also called a distance threshold).

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the service terminal calculates a credit threshold corresponding to the payment or transfer amount based on a credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount in a case that the distance value exceeds the preset credit distance threshold.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the credit distance threshold above is set by a user of the client at the service terminal in advance (for example, the user may set the credit distance threshold by setting the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount). Furthermore, the user of the client may set an initial credit value CMAX at the service terminal in advance. When the client moves in an area with the credit access point as a center and the credit distance threshold as a radius, a current remaining credit value of the client (i.e., a credit value of the user of the client) is equal to the initial credit value CMAX. When the client moves outside the area with the credit access point as the center and the credit distance threshold as the radius, the current remaining credit value of the client decreases as the distance value and time increase, i.e., the current remaining credit value of the client is less than the initial credit value CMAX in this case.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the service terminal may calculate a product of the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount and the payment or transfer amount as the credit threshold.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a case that the service terminal determines that the distance value exceeds the preset credit distance threshold will be described in following embodiments.

In step S104, the service terminal determines whether the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. In a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold, the service terminal deducts the payment or transfer amount from the bound account of the client and adds the deducted amount to the receiver account or a receiver account corresponding to the receiver identifier.

In a case that the service terminal determines that the distance value does not exceed the preset credit distance threshold in step S103 above, the current remaining credit value of the client is equal to the initial credit value CMAX set by the user of the client at the service terminal in advance. In this case, the service terminal may determine whether the current remaining credit value of the client (equal to the initial credit value CMAX) is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. In a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold, the service terminal deducts the payment or transfer amount from the bound account of the client and adds the deducted amount to the receiver account or a receiver account corresponding to the receiver identifier, thereby achieving payment or transfer processing between the bound account of the client and the receiver account.

The bound account of the client may be, for example, a smart card account, or an electronic account provided by a third-party payment platform such as Alipay, Paypal, Tenpay, Shanghai Kuaiqian, Chinabank Payments and Payease, which is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.

The receiver account may be a smart card account, or an electronic account provided by a third-party payment platform such as Alipay, Paypal, Tenpay, Shanghai Kuaiqian, Chinabank Payments and Payease, which is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.

In the method described in FIG. 1, after determining that the access point is the credit access point for the client, the service terminal may obtain the distance value between the client and the access point and perform operations for processing the data in a case that it is determined that the distance value exceeds the preset credit distance threshold and the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. As can be seen that, with the method described in FIG. 1, there is no need to manually input a payment password to the client, which simplifies the operations of mobile payment and improving efficiency of the mobile payment. In addition, with the method described in FIG. 1, the payment password can be effectively prevented from being stolen and security of the mobile payment can be improved.

Mobile online shopping or mobile online transferring is only an example of application of the method for processing data according to the embodiment of the disclosure, and the method for processing data according to the embodiment of the disclosure may also be applied to, for example, data transmission. For the data transmission, the service terminal may calculate a product of a credit value required for transmitting per unit of data and the quantity of to-be-transmitted data as the credit threshold.

According to another embodiment, the credit threshold is not related to the payment or transfer amount or the quantity of the to-be-transmitted data, and may be any value set by the user.

According to another embodiment, the credit threshold is less than the initial credit value CMAX. In this case, the service terminal may directly accept the data processing request and processing the data after the service terminal determines that the distance value between the client and the access point is less than the preset credit distance threshold.

According to another embodiment, after the service terminal determines that the distance value does not exceed the preset credit distance threshold in step S103, the service terminal directly deducts the payment or transfer amount from the bound account of the client, and adds the deducted amount to the receiver account or a receiver account corresponding to the receiver identifier, without determining whether the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold.

FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a method for processing data according to another embodiment of the disclosure. The method described in FIG. 2 is applied not only to scenarios of mobile online shopping but also to scenarios of mobile online transferring. In the method described in FIG. 2, a client may grant authorization information to a service terminal in advance, the authorization information includes an identifier of the client, an identifier of a credit access point, a bound account and authorization verification information. The client granting the authorization information including the identifier of the client, the identifier of the credit access point, the bound account and the authorization verification information to the service terminal in advance may include the following steps S31 to S35.

In step S31, the client performs access point scanning in response to an inputted access point scanning instruction, to obtain information of an access point.

In the embodiment the information of the access point generally includes a name of the access point.

In the embodiment, during the process of the access point scanning, the client may start timing. In a case that information of no access point is obtained within a preset period of time after the timing is started, the client may terminate operations of the access point scanning. In a case that information of an access point is obtained within the preset period of time after the timing is started, the client may output the information of the access point, obtained within the preset period of time by the scanning, for display.

In step S32, the client detects an authorization operation inputted for the information of at least one access point, obtains an identifier of an access point corresponding to the authorized information of the access point as the identifier of the credit access point, and obtains the identifier of the client.

The authorization operation inputted for the information of at least one access point includes an operation such as authorization click or authorization double click inputted for the information of the at least one access point. The identifier of the client may include a unique name of the client, a unique account of the client or the like.

In step S33, the client prompts to input the bound account and the authorization verification information.

In step S34, the client detects the inputted bound account and the inputted authorization verification information.

, The authorization verification information above may be, for example, any one of or combination of an authorization verification password, authorization verification fingerprint information, authorization verification facial information; authorization verification iris information, authorization verification retina information and authorization verification voiceprint information.

In step S35, the client sends an authorization request including the authorization information to the service terminal, the service terminal stores the authorization information in response to the authorization request. The authorization information includes the identifier of the client, the identifier of the credit access point, the bound account and the authorization verification information.

Through steps S31 to S35 above, the client can grant the authorization information including the identifier of the client, the identifier of the credit access point, the bound account and the authorization verification information to the service terminal.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method for processing data may include the following steps S201 to S216.

In step S201, the service terminal receives a data processing request sent by the client, where the data processing request includes an identifier of an access point of the client.

The data processing request may include the identifier of the client, a payment amount (or a transfer amount) and a receiver identifier (or a receiver account).

In step S202, the service terminal determines whether the access point is the credit access point for the client. Step S203 is performed in a case that the access point is the credit access point for the client. And step S211 is performed in a case that the access point is not the credit access point for the client.

The service terminal may determine whether the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client. In a case that the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client, it is determined that the access point is the credit access point for the client. In a case that the identifier of the access point included in the data processing request is not identical with the identifier of the credit access point for the client, it is determined that the access point is not the credit access point for the client.

In step S203, the service terminal obtains a distance value between the client and the access point.

In an embodiment, in a case that the client and the access point each are provided with a locating function (for example, a GPS locating function), the service terminal obtaining the distance value between the client and the access point in step S203 above may include the following steps S11 to S13.

In step S11, the service terminal sends a location obtaining instruction to each of the client and the access point.

In step S12, the service terminal receives location information of the client sent by the client in response to the location obtaining instruction and location information of the access point sent by the access point in response to the location obtaining instruction.

In step S13, the service terminal calculates the distance value between the client and the access point based on the location information of the client and the location information of the access point.

The location information above may include latitude and longitude coordinates.

In another embodiment, in a case that the client can start smart distance value measuring application software, the service terminal obtaining the distance value between the client and the access point in step S203 above may include the following steps S21 and S22.

In step S21, the service terminal sends a distance value obtaining instruction to the client, to trigger the client to obtain the distance value between the client and the access point in response to the distance value obtaining instruction.

In step S22, the service terminal receives the distance value between the client and the access point sent by the client.

The client may start the smart distance value measuring application software (for example, Smart Distance) in response to the distance value obtaining instruction, to detect the distance value between the client and the access point with the smart distance value measuring application software, where Smart Distance is an application for measuring distance values with a camera.

In step S204, the service terminal determines whether the distance value exceeds a preset credit distance threshold (also called a distance threshold). Step S205 is performed in a case that the distance value exceeds the preset credit distance threshold. Step S214 is performed in a case that the distance value does not exceed the preset credit distance threshold.

The preset credit distance threshold above is set by a user of the client at the service terminal in advance (for example, the user may set the credit distance threshold by setting the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount). Furthermore, the user of the client may set an initial credit value CMAX at the service terminal in advance. When the client moves in an area with the credit access point as a center and the credit distance threshold as a radius, a current remaining credit value of the client (i.e., a credit value of the user of the client) is equal to the initial credit value CMAX. When the client moves outside the area with the credit access point as the center and the credit distance threshold as the radius, the current remaining credit value of the client decreases as the distance value and time increase, i.e., the current remaining credit value of the client is less than the initial credit value CMAX in this case.

In step S205, the service terminal calculates a credit threshold corresponding to the payment or transfer amount based on the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount.

, The service terminal may calculate a product of the credit value CP required for paying or transferring per unit of amount and the payment or transfer amount P as the credit threshold corresponding to the payment or transfer amount, i.e., P×CP.

In step S206, the service terminal obtains, based on a distance difference d−D between the distance value and the credit distance threshold and a credit value decrement CD per unit of distance difference, a credit value decrement corresponding to the distance difference d−D.

The credit value decrement CD per unit of distance difference may be set by a user of the client at the service terminal in advance, and the credit value decrement corresponding to the distance difference d−D is equal to (d−D)×CD.

In step S207, the service terminal obtains, based on time t for which the distance value exceeds the credit distance threshold and a credit value decrement CV per unit of time, a credit value decrement corresponding to the time t.

The credit value decrement CV per unit of time may be set by a user of the client at the service terminal in advance, and the credit value decrement corresponding to the time t is equal to t×CV.

The service terminal may calculate the time t for which the distance value exceeds the credit distance threshold based on a movement speed of the client and the distance difference d−D between the distance value and the credit distance threshold.

In another embodiment, the client may be provided with a timer for calculating the time t for which the distance value exceeds the credit distance threshold. A distance monitoring program may be installed in the client, to periodically calculate a distance value between the client and the credit access point. The timer is started to time once it is monitored that the distance value exceeds the preset credit distance threshold.

In step S208, the service terminal calculates a total credit value decrement by adding the credit value decrement corresponding to the distance difference d−D and the credit value decrement corresponding to the time t.

In step S209, the service terminal obtains the current remaining credit value of the client.

According to an another embodiment, the current remaining credit value of the client is equal to (the initial credit value CMAX−t×CV−(d−D)×CD), which means that the current remaining credit value does not decrease due to a payment or transfer operation performed.

According to a further embodiment, in a case that the distance value between the client and the access point does not exceed the preset credit distance threshold, the credit value does not decrease due to a payment or transfer operation. In a case that the distance value between the client and the access point exceeds the preset credit distance threshold, the credit value decreases due to a payment or transfer operation. For example, in a case that the distance value between the client and the access point exceeds the preset credit distance threshold and no payment or transfer operation is already performed, the current remaining credit value of the client is equal to the initial credit value of the client minus the total credit value decrement calculated in step S208, i.e., the current remaining credit value of the client is equal to (the initial credit value CMAX−t×CV−(d−D)×CD). After one payment or transfer operation is performed, the current remaining credit value of the client is equal to the initial credit value minus the total credit value decrement calculated in step S208 and further minus a credit threshold corresponding to the payment or transfer operation performed.

In step S210, the service terminal determines whether the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold calculated in step S205. Step S216 is performed in a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. Step S211 is performed in a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is less than the credit threshold.

In step S211, the service terminal sends a request of obtaining to-be-verified information to the client.

In step S212, the service terminal receives the to-be-verified information sent by the client in response to the request of obtaining to-be-verified information.

The client may prompt to input the to-be-verified information in response to the request of obtaining to-be-verified information and send the inputted to-be-verified information to the service terminal.

The to-be-verified information above may be, for example, any one of or combination of a to-be-verified password, to-be-verified fingerprint information, to-be-verified facial information, to-be-verified iris information, to-be-verified retina information and to-be-verified voiceprint information.

In step S213, the service terminal verifies whether the authorization verification information of the client is identical with the to-be-verified information. In a case that the authorization verification information of the client is identical with the to-be-verified information, step S216 is performed and then the process is terminated. In a case that the authorization verification information of the client is not identical with the to-be-verified information, the client is prompted that the to-be-verified information is verified to be wrong, and it is failed to processing the data, and then the process is terminated.

In step S214, the service terminal calculates a credit threshold corresponding to the payment or transfer amount based on the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount.

, The service terminal may calculate a product of the credit value required for paying or transferring per unit of amount and the payment or transfer amount as the credit threshold.

In step S215, the service terminal determines whether the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. Step S216 is performed in a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is greater than or equal to the credit threshold. Step S211 is performed in a case that the current remaining credit value of the client is less than the credit threshold.

In step S216, the service terminal deducts the payment or transfer amount from the bound account of the client and adds the deducted amount to the receiver account or a receiver account corresponding to the receiver identifier.

As can be seen that, with the method described in FIG. 2, there is no need to manually input a password to the client, which simplifies the operations and improving efficiency. In addition, with the method described in FIG. 2, the payment password can be effectively prevented from being stolen and security of the mobile payment can be improved.

Mobile online shopping or mobile online transferring is only an example of application of the method for processing data, and the method for processing data may also be applied to, for example, data transmission. For the data transmission, the service terminal may calculate a product of a credit value required for transmitting per unit of data and the quantity of to-be-transmitted data as the credit threshold.
