DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and their examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of one or more embodiments of the present specification as detailed in the appended claims.


It should be noted that, in other embodiments, steps of corresponding methods are not necessarily executed in the order shown and described in the present specification. In some other embodiments, the method may include more or fewer steps than what is described in the present specification. In addition, a single step described in the present specification may be divided into multiple steps for description in other embodiments, while multiple steps described in the present specification may also be combined into a single step in other embodiments for description.


Resource allocation is a common concept in the field of computer technology. It can refer to either resource allocation within one device or resource transfers among multiple devices. When a user performs transaction processing based on a computer device, transaction processing-related resource transfer requirements are often involved. Currently, resource transfers among multiple devices can be performed through an application dedicated to resource transfer installed in the electronic devices.


In view of this, one or more embodiments of the present specification provide a resource transfer method, which is applicable to a resource transfer system 10 including a transaction client 102, a transaction server 104, and a resource transfer server 106 shown in FIG. 1. The transaction client 102 and transaction server 104 described in one or more embodiments of the present specification can provide a user with particular transaction services, and the transaction services provided by the transaction client 102 and transaction server 104 facilitate resource transfer with respect to an operator of the transaction server or other users or institutions. In some embodiments, the transaction client 102 may be a software module executable by a processor of a user terminal to perform resource transfer techniques as disclosed herein. For example, in addition to displaying to a user with a list of travel products or overseas study products, a transaction server that provides travel or overseas study services and its corresponding transaction client can also provide a function of performing resource transfer to a merchant corresponding to a product based on the travel products or overseas study products.


This embodiment does not limit forms of the above resources. For example, the above resources may include various forms such as money, securities, shares, physical personal property or real property, and virtual digital assets. When the resources are money, the resource transfer can be embodied as “remittance,” that is, the circulation of monetary funds between user accounts provided by the same or different financial institutions. The circulation of monetary funds can be performed in the same currency, or can also be performed in different currencies. For example, a circulation of monetary funds in different currencies can be performed at a set exchange rate. The circulation of monetary funds may also involve handling fees charged by financial institutions.


As shown in FIG. 2, the above resource transfer method includes the following operations.


At Step 202, in response to a resource transfer operation initiated by a user on the transaction client of a user terminal to transfer a resource, a resource transfer request is generated, wherein the resource transfer request includes resource transfer information.


In some embodiments, the resource transfer information may include: information about a quantity of resources to be transferred, account information of a resource transfer account established by the user on the resource transfer server, and account information of a recipient account of the resource transfer. In some embodiments, the above resource transfer information can omit the account information of the resource transfer account established by the user on the resource transfer server, and the resource transfer server can determine the account information of the resource transfer account by itself based on the user's identity information.


At Step 204, the resource transfer request is sent, through the transaction server corresponding to the transaction client, to the resource transfer server coupled with the transaction server.


The transaction client and the resource transfer server usually do not have a direct communication connection. The transaction server is configured to forward information for the transaction client and the resource transfer server.


At Step 206, the resource transfer server generates a resource transfer identifier for the resource transfer information, and returns the resource transfer identifier to the transaction client through the transaction server.


At Step 208, the transaction client initiates a resource transfer confirmation to the resource transfer server based on the resource transfer identifier.


The resource transfer confirmation usually includes verification information of the user's identity. The verification information may include one or more pieces of verification information, a device verification code associated with the user's resource transfer account, the user's resource transfer password, the user's biometric information, etc., to prove the user's confirmation for the resource transfer.


At Step 210, the resource transfer server completes resource transfer processing based on the resource transfer information corresponding to the resource transfer identifier.


The resource transfer processing may include: transferring resources corresponding to the quantity of resources to be transferred from the user's resource transfer account to the recipient account.


The resource transfer method described in Steps 202 to 210 facilitates the user to directly initiate and quickly complete a resource transfer operation based on the transaction client, which improves the efficiency of resource transfer.


When money is an exemplary form of the resource, the resource transfer can be embodied as money transfer payment activities such as transfer and remittance. When a user makes a remittance transfer to another user or institution, a user account opened with a bank or other financial institutions or a user account opened with a third-party payment institution associated with a bank is often used for remittance transfer between accounts. For example, the remittance transfer is generally completed through an App provided by bank institutions or third-party payment institutions, or completed at a counter of a bank institution. At present, remittance transfers cannot be performed directly based on user accounts opened by users in a financial institution or a third-party payment institution associated with the financial institution in a transaction application client. When performing a remittance operation, a remitting user often needs to provide financial account information, remittance currency type, remittance amount of the remitting, and receiving users. In some remittance operations, the remitting user may also need to provide information such as the purpose of the remittance, so as to meet the requirements of financial supervision.


In some embodiments, the resource transfer method is applicable to a remittance system including a user's transaction client, a transaction server, and a remittance server. The user establishes a payment account for remittance on the remittance server. The remittance server may include a financial institution server or a third-party payment institution server, and the payment account may include a savings account or a credit account that is created by the user on the remittance server and can be used for remittances. When the remittance server is a third-party payment institution server, the payment account may also include a financial institution account associated with the user's third-party payment account.



FIG. 3 illustrates a remittance method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, which may, for example, include the following steps.


At Step 302, in response to a remittance operation initiated by a user on the transaction client, a remittance request is generated, wherein the remittance request includes remittance information.


The remittance information may include a remittance amount, information of a payment account of a remitting user established on a remittance server, and account information of a remittance receiving user. Since the remittance operation based on transaction requirements is directly established on the transaction client, the account information of the remittance receiving user can usually be obtained directly from the transaction server, for example, including the name or account number of the remittance recipient.


The remitting user may be a logged-in user of the transaction client, or may be another user who can pay the remittance amount. The payment account information of the remitting user established on the remittance server can be manually input by the user on a human-computer interaction interface of the transaction client by, for example, inputting the name and account number of the remitting user. It can also be based on the user's authorization to the remittance server to receive, by the transaction client through the transaction server, the account information of its payment account from the remittance server.


The remittance server can be provided with an authorization service module, and the authorization service module is responsible for obtaining, with authorization, the user's payment account information. A method for the transaction client to obtain the account information of the payment account established by the user on the remittance server is shown in FIG. 4, which may include the following operations.


At Step 402, the transaction client sends an authorization application for the account information of the payment account to the remittance server through the transaction server.


At Step 404, the remittance server generates an authorization prompt based on the authorization application, and sends the authorization prompt to the transaction client through the transaction server.


Since the authorization application for the account information of the user's payment account in the financial institution may be an unauthorized activity of the transaction client, in order to further ensure the legitimacy of the authorization to obtain the account information, the authorization service module can generate and return an authorization prompt, causing the transaction client to display the authorization prompt to a user interface. In one example, the authorization prompt may be expressed as an authorization prompt message or an authorization prompt page, and the authorization prompt message or authorization prompt page may include the content of the account information to be obtained by the authorized transaction client, so that the user can indicate an approval or rejection of this account information authorization based on the interaction with the transaction client.


At Step 406, the transaction client sends the user's confirmation of the authorization prompt to the remittance server through the transaction server.


At Step 408, the remittance server returns an authorization token for the account information to the transaction client through the transaction server, where the authorization token is used to authorize the transaction client or the transaction server to obtain the account information of the payment account within a preset time period.


At Step 410, the transaction client or the transaction server receives the account information of the user's payment account from the remittance server based on the authorization token. That is, the remittance server sends the account information of the user's payment account to the transaction server or the transaction client based on the authorization token sent by the transaction client or the transaction server.


Through the process of obtaining the authorization of the account information described in steps 402 to 410, the transaction client can obtain the account information of the payment account from the remittance server, while the user does not need to manually input the user's payment account information to the transaction client, nor does the user need to log in to the payment account on the remittance server to perform an authorization operation, which facilitates automatic information acquisition. Moreover, the content of the account information obtained by the client from the remittance server is authorized and confirmed by the user, and the transaction client or the transaction server can only obtain, based on the above authorization token, the type and content of the account information as confirmed by the user according to the authorization prompt, but cannot obtain other unauthorized account information in the user's payment account, which effectively protects the security of user information.


In some embodiments, the remittance information also includes certification information used to prove the authenticity of the transaction background of this remittance. For example, when a transaction server is used to provide a user with overseas study services, a remittance request sent by a transaction client may include the institution identity information of a school for overseas study, an amount of fees, and purpose certification information to prove that the remittance performed by the user is used for the fees charged by the school. When the transaction server is used to provide a user with guided foreign travel services, a remittance request sent by the transaction client may include the business qualification certification information of a guided travel service agency and charging details to prove that the remittance performed by the user is used for the guided travel service of the service agency, and so on. Those skilled in the art can set up detailed certification information according to actual transaction situations to prove the authenticity of the transaction background of this remittance.


In some embodiments, according to the remittance rules of the remittance server and the attributes of the receiving user's account, the remittance request may also include information such as remittance fees and exchange rates.


At Step 304, the transaction client sends the remittance request to the remittance server through the transaction server.


At Step 306, the remittance server generates a payment order ID corresponding to the remittance request, and sends the payment order ID to the transaction client through the transaction server.


In some embodiments, the process of generating the payment order ID corresponding to the remittance request by the remittance server includes: performing authenticity verification on the remittance request based on the certification information included in the remittance request; and in response to successful authenticity verification on the certification information, generating a payment order ID corresponding to the remittance request.


In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the credibility of the certification information, a blockchain can be used to store original information that can prove the authenticity of the transaction background of this remittance, and the certification information contained in the remittance request includes the certificate identifier of the original information stored on the blockchain, such as a hash digest of the original information, or TXID of the stored transaction, or an address and query interface of a smart contract used to store the original information. The remittance server may include a node device of the blockchain, so as to obtain, based on the certificate identifier, the original information that can prove the authenticity of the transaction background of this remittance from the blockchain, and to perform authenticity verification based on the original information.


The anti-tampering mechanism based on the blockchain can provide technical evidence for the original information that is difficult to tamper with, thereby effectively reducing the security risk of user remittances caused by a transaction server obtaining false or incorrect transaction background authenticity certification information.


In some embodiments, in order to perform authenticity verification on the certification information more quickly and accurately, a smart contract for transaction background information management can be deployed on the blockchain to store the original information that proves the authenticity of the transaction background of this remittance, and authenticity verification is performed on the remittance request based on a preset verification logic and based on the original information.


In one example, the performing authenticity verification on the remittance request based on the certification information included in the remittance request may include: in response to the remittance request sent to the blockchain, invoking the smart contract to execute a logic of performing authenticity verification on the remittance request declared by the smart contract, and to perform authenticity verification on the remittance request based on the original information corresponding to the certificate identifier.


The remittance request may be directly sent to the blockchain by the transaction client or the transaction server, or may be sent to the blockchain by the remittance server, which is not limited in this embodiment.


When the remittance request is sent by the remittance server to the blockchain, the smart contract can also be deployed with a generation logic for payment order IDs. After the remittance request passes the authenticity verification (i.e., the authenticity of the remittance request is verified), a payment order ID corresponding to the remittance request is generated.


At Step 308, the transaction client initiates a payment confirmation to the remittance server based on the payment order ID.


The remittance confirmation information may include one or more of verification information, such as identity verification information of the remitting user, a device verification code associated with the payment account of the remitting user, the user's payment account password, and the user's biometric information, to prove the user confirmation of the remittance payment.


At Step 310, in response to the payment confirmation, the remittance server completes remittance processing based on the remittance information corresponding to the payment order ID.


The remittance server can deduct the remittance amount included in the remittance application/request and a remittance processing fee (if any) from the user's payment account, and then send a remittance notification to the server of the financial institution where the remittance receiving user's account is located, causing the remittance amount to be added to the remittance receiving user's account. Since the remittance service institution where the account of the remitting user is located and the financial institution where the account of the receiving user is located may be different financial institutions, the two financial institutions may not have a direct communication connection, and the remittance may be forwarded by multiple financial servers and eventually reach the receiving user's account.


In some embodiments, the remittance server is a third-party payment institution server; the remittance information includes information of a third-party payment account established by the remitting user at the third-party payment institution financial institution, and information of a payment account of a fourth financial institution associated with the third-party payment account.


The operation of the remittance server completing, in response to the payment confirmation, the remittance processing based on the remittance information corresponding to the payment order ID includes: the third-party payment institution server initiating a payment notification to a server of the fourth financial institution based on the payment order ID, causing the server of the fourth financial institution to complete the remittance payment from the payment account of the fourth financial institution.


In some embodiments, one or more of the transaction server, the third-party payment server, or the server of the fourth financial institution may be a cloud server, so as to reduce the service cost of the transaction service provider and improve the performance of the transaction server. When the transaction server, the third-party payment server, and the server of the fourth financial institution are all cloud servers, it is more convenient for the multiple servers to exchange information and improve the execution efficiency of the remittance transaction.


The remittance process including steps 302 to 310 described in the embodiment above facilitates the user to initiate a remittance operation to the remittance receiving user based on the transaction client without using a client APP of a financial institution or going to a counter of the financial institution to perform the remittance operation, which improves the convenience of the remittance operation.


It is worth noting that during the remittance process including steps 302 to 310 described in the embodiment above, the transaction client exchanges information, such as the remittance request, payment order ID, and payment confirmation information, with the remittance server through the transaction server. After the transaction client obtains the authorization token of the remittance server according to the steps 402 to 410, the transaction client can also apply for trusted authentication of the remittance server to establish a direct, trusted interaction channel with the remittance server, which allows the transaction client to directly exchange information, such as the remittance request, payment order ID, and payment confirmation information, with the remittance server, which is not limited in the present specification.
