This specification relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to offline transaction processing methods, apparatuses, and devices.
Use of offline transactions in a state of no network connection is an important supplement to online transactions. Currently, the offline transactions are still in an initial development and user education phase. Commonly used offline transaction methods can include performing offline transaction processing by scanning graphic codes (for example, two-dimensional codes) of offline transactions, performing offline transaction processing through near field communication, performing offline transaction processing by using offline voiceprints, performing offline transaction processing by using Bluetooth, etc. However, the above-mentioned offline transaction processing methods are respectively provided by different institutions or applications, that is, different institutions or applications are set with specified offline transaction methods provided by the different institutions or applications to users for use. Therefore, if a user needs to implement an offline transaction, a transaction can be completed only by using an offline transaction method set by a financial institution corresponding to a transaction method used by the user. If the user needs to use a certain offline transaction method, an application provided by a financial institution corresponding to the offline transaction method needs to be installed. In this case, transaction efficiency is low and a transaction success rate is low. If the user does not install the application, the user needs to perform operations such as downloading, installation, and account registration. Consequently, the transaction efficiency and the transaction success rate are further reduced. Therefore, a technical solution for selecting and using different offline transaction methods for different scenarios needs to be provided.

Clearly, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of this specification. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this specification without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this specification.
Embodiment 1: As shown in
Step S102: Obtain information about a current network connection status of the first terminal for a target transaction.
The target transaction can be any transaction. For example, a user purchases a product in an offline store opened by a merchant. The user makes settlement with the merchant on the purchased product by using a payment application, etc. installed in the first terminal of the user, to constitute a transaction. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification. The network connection status can be used to represent a network connection status of the terminal device. The network connection status can include an unconnected state, a connected state, etc. The first terminal can be a terminal device used by the transaction initiator. The first terminal can be a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, or can be a computer device such as a notebook computer or a desktop computer.
In implementation, use of offline transactions in a state of no network connection is an important supplement to online transactions. Currently, the offline transactions are still in an initial development and user education phase. Commonly used offline transaction methods can include performing offline transaction processing by scanning graphic codes (for example, two-dimensional codes) of offline transactions, performing offline transaction processing through near field communication, performing offline transaction processing by using offline voiceprints, performing offline transaction processing by using Bluetooth, etc. However, the above-mentioned offline transaction processing methods are respectively provided by different institutions or applications, that is, different institutions or applications are set with specified offline transaction methods provided by the different institutions or applications to users for use. For example, some financial institutions provide a method for performing offline transaction processing by scanning graphic codes of offline transactions to users, some other financial institutions provide a method for performing offline transaction processing through near field communication to users, and some financial institutions provide a method for performing offline transaction processing by using Bluetooth to users. Therefore, if a user needs to implement an offline transaction, a transaction can be completed only by using an offline transaction method set by a financial institution corresponding to a transaction method used by the user. If the user needs to use a certain offline transaction method, an application provided by a financial institution corresponding to the offline transaction method needs to be installed. In this case, transaction efficiency is low and a transaction success rate is low. If the user does not install the application, the user needs to perform operations such as downloading, installation, and account registration. Consequently, the transaction efficiency and the transaction success rate are further reduced. Therefore, a technical solution for selecting and using different offline transaction methods for different scenarios needs to be provided. This embodiment of this specification provides an implementable technical solution, and can specifically include the following content: The offline transaction can be a transaction implemented when terminal devices used by both of two parties of the transaction are in an offline state (that is, not connected to a network, cannot be connected to a network, etc.), or can be a transaction implemented when a terminal device used by either of two parties of the transaction is in an offline state. As shown in
In addition, the first terminal can synchronize the information about the network connection status of the first terminal to a specified server (for example, a transaction server). If duration in which the information about the network connection status of the first terminal is not updated exceeds a predetermined duration threshold, the network connection status of the first terminal can be set to unconnected, that a network connection is disconnected, etc. Alternatively, a specified server can periodically or aperiodically send a heartbeat request or a detection request for a network connection to the first terminal. The first terminal can send the information about the network connection status of the first terminal to the specified server, and the specified server can record the information about the network connection status. If the specified server does not receive the information about the network connection status of the first terminal within predetermined duration, the network connection status of the first terminal can be set to unconnected, that a network connection is disconnected, etc. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
Step S104: If the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected, and it is determined that a network connection status of a second terminal of a transaction target party of the target transaction is unconnected, or the current network connection status of the first terminal is unconnected, determine whether the first terminal can output a transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction.
The transaction target party can be a party that provides a transaction object to the user of the first terminal. The transaction object can be an object for which a transaction needs to be implemented, for example, a product. The transaction target party can be a merchant, etc. The second terminal can be a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, can be a computer device such as a notebook computer or a desktop computer, or can be a POS machine or a cash register. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification. The transaction identification code can be used to provide information about an account that needs to be used to implement a transaction, etc. In actual application, an encoding method can be predetermined, and encoding processing is performed on the information of the account by using the encoding method, to obtain a corresponding encoding result. The encoding result can be used as the transaction identification code, and the transaction identification code can include a plurality of different presentation methods. For example, the transaction identification code can be a graphic code (specifically, a two-dimensional code or a barcode), or the transaction identification code can be a code (for example, a voiceprint feature code or a facial feature code) obtained by encoding a biometric feature of the user. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
In implementation, the second terminal can also periodically or aperiodically detect the network connection status of the second terminal, and record information about the network connection status of the second terminal. In addition, the second terminal can synchronize the information about the network connection status of the second terminal to a specified server. If duration in which the information about the network connection status of the second terminal is not updated exceeds a predetermined duration threshold, the network connection status of the second terminal can be set to unconnected, that a network connection is disconnected, etc. Alternatively, a specified server can periodically or aperiodically send a heartbeat request or a detection request for a network connection to the second terminal. The second terminal can send the information about the network connection status of the second terminal to the specified server, and the specified server can record the information about the network connection status. If the specified server does not receive the information about the network connection status of the second terminal within predetermined duration, the network connection status of the second terminal can be set to unconnected, that a network connection is disconnected, etc. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
If the first terminal detects that the current network connection status is connected, the first terminal can send, to the specified server, a request for obtaining the information about the network connection status of the second terminal, and the specified server can send the information about the network connection status of the second terminal to the first terminal. If the network connection status of the second terminal is unconnected, the first terminal can determine that an offline transaction needs to be implemented. In this case, a processing process of generating the transaction identification code used to perform offline transaction processing on the target transaction and a working status (for example, a payload status of a processor and a storage status of a storage) of each involved component can be detected. In addition, a processing process of outputting the transaction identification code and a working status (for example, a working status of a display component and the payload status of the processor) of each involved component can be further detected. The above-mentioned detection processing is performed, so that it can be determined whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction. For example, if one or more of the above-mentioned processing processes are abnormal, and/or one or more of the above-mentioned involved components are abnormal, it can be determined that the first terminal cannot output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction. Otherwise, the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
In addition, if the first terminal detects that the current network connection status is unconnected, the first terminal can determine that an offline transaction needs to be implemented. In this case, a processing process of generating the transaction identification code used to perform offline transaction processing on the target transaction and a working status of each involved component can be detected. In addition, a processing process of outputting the transaction identification code and a working status of each involved component can be further detected. The above-mentioned detection processing is performed, so that it can be determined whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
Step S106: Select, based on a determining result indicating whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, an offline transaction policy corresponding to the determining result, and perform offline transaction processing on the target transaction between the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy.
The offline transaction policy can be a transaction policy that includes related information such as an offline transaction method and an offline transaction processing procedure. There can be a plurality of offline transaction policies. For example, a policy for implementing an offline transaction by establishing a connection by using Bluetooth and a policy for implementing an offline transaction by establishing a connection by using a radio frequency signal (for example, an infrared signal) can be included. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.
In implementation, different offline transaction policies can be constructed in advance based on an actual situation, and the constructed offline transaction policies can be stored in a specified storage device or blockchain system. If it is determined, based on the determining result, that the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, the offline transaction policy corresponding to the determining result can be selected from the storage device or the blockchain system, and offline transaction processing is performed between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy. For example, if it is determined, based on the determining result, that the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, the first terminal can output the transaction identification code. The second terminal can collect the transaction identification code by using a decoding and identification component of the transaction identification code, and then can establish a specified connection (for example, establish a connection by using Bluetooth or establish a connection by using a specified local area network) to the first terminal. By using the connection, offline transaction processing can be performed between the first terminal and the second terminal (that is, the second terminal parses the transaction identification code, to obtain account information of the transaction initiator, and can perform resource transfer processing based on the account information and transaction information of the target transaction, and after resource transfer processing succeeds, the second terminal can send a resource transfer processing success notification message to the first terminal).
According to the offline transaction processing method provided in this embodiment of this specification, the first terminal of the transaction initiator obtains the information about the current network connection status of the first terminal for the target transaction; if the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected, and it is determined that the network connection status of the second terminal of the transaction target party of the target transaction is unconnected, or the current network connection status of the first terminal is unconnected, determines whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction; and then selects, based on the determining result indicating whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, the offline transaction policy corresponding to the determining result, and performs offline transaction processing on the target transaction between the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy. In this way, an offline transaction method that is most suitable for a current status can be adaptively selected based on the network connection status of the first terminal of the transaction initiator, a payment scenario, and a payment environment, to improve offline transaction efficiency and an offline transaction success rate and greatly improve transaction experience of the user.
Embodiment 2: As shown in
Step S302: Obtain information about a current network connection status of the first terminal for a target transaction.
Step S304: If the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected, and it is determined that a network connection status of a second terminal of a transaction target party of the target transaction is unconnected, or the current network connection status of the first terminal is unconnected, determine whether the first terminal can output a transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction.
The transaction identification code can include a graphic code and a code of a biometric feature of a user of the first terminal. The graphic code can be a graphic that is distributed on a plane (that is, in a two-dimensional direction) by using a specific geometric pattern based on a specific rule and that records data symbol information, and can specifically include a two-dimensional code, a barcode, etc. There can be a plurality of biometric features, for example, a fingerprint feature, a palmprint feature, a facial feature, and a voiceprint feature. This can be specifically set based on an actual situation. This is not limited in this embodiment of this specification.

Step S314: Perform offline transaction processing on the target transaction between the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy.
In implementation, as shown in
If the selected offline transaction policy is the Bluetooth-based offline transaction policy, the transaction initiator can enable Bluetooth in the first terminal. In addition, the transaction target party can enable Bluetooth in the second terminal. Then, a Bluetooth connection can be established between the first terminal and the second terminal, a communication connection is established between the Bluetooth in the first terminal and the Bluetooth in the second terminal, and data exchange can be performed between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the established Bluetooth communication connection, to finally complete the offline transaction.
If the selected offline transaction policy is the local area network-based offline transaction policy, the first terminal of the transaction initiator can establish a communication connection to the second terminal by using a gateway of a local area network, then the first terminal can send information that needs to be sent to the second terminal to the gateway, and the gateway then forwards the information to the second terminal. Similarly, the second terminal can send information that needs to be returned to the first terminal to the gateway, and the gateway then forwards the information to the first terminal. The offline transaction can be finally completed between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the above-mentioned interaction process.
Step S316: If the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected and the network connection status of the second terminal is connected, perform online transaction processing on the target transaction between the first terminal and the second terminal by using a connected network.

According to the offline transaction processing method provided in this embodiment of this specification, the first terminal of the transaction initiator obtains the information about the current network connection status of the first terminal for the target transaction; if the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected, and it is determined that the network connection status of the second terminal of the transaction target party of the target transaction is unconnected, or the current network connection status of the first terminal is unconnected, determines whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction; and then selects, based on the determining result indicating whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, the offline transaction policy corresponding to the determining result, and performs offline transaction processing on the target transaction between the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy. In this way, an offline transaction method that is most suitable for a current status can be adaptively selected based on the network connection status of the first terminal of the transaction initiator, a payment scenario, and a payment environment, to improve offline transaction efficiency and an offline transaction success rate and greatly improve transaction experience of the user.
In addition, subsequent transaction processing can be performed based on an interaction method (NFC or the transaction identification code (for example, a two-dimensional code)) selected by the user, a current network environment (local area network or Bluetooth) can be automatically detected, and a proper networking method can be selected to establish a communication connection, to further improve the transaction success rate and the transaction efficiency.

In this embodiment of this specification, the following content is further included: if the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected and the network connection status of the second terminal is connected, performing online transaction processing on the target transaction between the first terminal and the second terminal by using a connected network.
According to the storage medium provided in this embodiment of this specification, the information about the current network connection status of the first terminal is obtained for the target transaction; if the current network connection status of the first terminal is connected, and it is determined that the network connection status of the second terminal of the transaction target party of the target transaction is unconnected, or the current network connection status of the first terminal is unconnected, it is determined whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code used to trigger offline transaction processing on the target transaction; and then the offline transaction policy corresponding to the determining result is selected based on the determining result indicating whether the first terminal can output the transaction identification code, and offline transaction processing is performed on the target transaction between the second terminal based on the selected offline transaction policy. In this way, an offline transaction method that is most suitable for a current status can be adaptively selected based on the network connection status of the first terminal of a transaction initiator, a payment scenario, and a payment environment, to improve offline transaction efficiency and an offline transaction success rate and greatly improve transaction experience of the user.
In addition, subsequent transaction processing can be performed based on an interaction method (NFC or the transaction identification code (for example, a two-dimensional code)) selected by the user, a current network environment (local area network or Bluetooth) can be automatically detected, and a proper networking method can be selected to establish a communication connection, to further improve the transaction success rate and the transaction efficiency.
Specific embodiments of this specification are described above. Other embodiments fall within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps described in the claims can be performed in a sequence different from that in the embodiments and desired results can still be achieved. In addition, the process depicted in the accompanying drawings does not necessarily need a particular sequence to achieve the desired results. In some implementations, multi-tasking and parallel processing are feasible or may be advantageous.
In the 1990s, whether a technical improvement is a hardware improvement (for example, an improvement to a circuit structure, such as a diode, a transistor, or a switch) or a software improvement (an improvement to a method procedure) can be clearly distinguished. However, as technologies develop, current improvements to many method procedures can be considered as direct improvements to hardware circuit structures. Almost all designers program an improved method procedure into a hardware circuit, to obtain a corresponding hardware circuit structure. Therefore, a method procedure can be improved by using a hardware entity module. For example, a programmable logic device (PLD) (for example, a field programmable gate array (FPGA)) is such an integrated circuit, and a logical function of the programmable logic device is determined by a user through device programming. The designer performs programming to “integrate” a digital system to a PLD without requesting a chip manufacturer to design and produce an application-specific integrated circuit chip. In addition, currently, instead of manually manufacturing an integrated circuit chip, such programming is mostly implemented by using “logic compiler” software. The “logic compiler” software is similar to a software compiler used to develop and write a program. Original code needs to be written in a particular programming language before being compiled. The language is referred to as a hardware description language (HDL). There are many HDLs, such as the Advanced Boolean Expression Language (ABEL), the Altera Hardware Description Language (AHDL), Confluence, the Cornell University Programming Language (CUPL), HDCal, the Java Hardware Description Language (JHDL), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, and the Ruby Hardware Description Language (RHDL). At present, the Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and Verilog are most commonly used. It should also be clear to a person skilled in the art that a hardware circuit that implements a logical method procedure can be readily obtained once the method procedure is logically programmed by using the several hardware description languages described above and is programmed into an integrated circuit.
A controller can be implemented by using any proper method. For example, the controller can be a microprocessor or a processor, or a computer-readable medium that stores computer-readable program code (such as software or firmware) that can be executed by the microprocessor or the processor, a logic gate, a switch, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, or an embedded microprocessor. Examples of the controller include but are not limited to the following microprocessors: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320. The storage controller can also be implemented as a part of control logic of the storage. A person skilled in the art also knows that in addition to implementing the controller by using only the computer-readable program code, logic programming can be performed on method steps to enable the controller to implement the same function in a form of a logic gate, a switch, an application specific integrated circuit, a programmable logic controller, or an embedded microcontroller. Therefore, the controller can be considered as a hardware component, and an apparatus configured to implement various functions in the controller can also be considered as a structure in the hardware component. Alternatively, an apparatus configured to implement various functions can even be considered as both a software module implementing the method and a structure in the hardware component.
