second
Funds-Management server 40 is connected to the first terminal 10 for
connecting the first
terminal 10 of the account to operate, of which:
[37] The first terminal 10 is configured to transmit the payment request
information to the
second Funds-Management server 40, wherein the payment request information
includes
the payment amount.
[38] Specifically, the first terminal 10 is suitable for the payment party,
such as a terminal used
by a client, including mobile phone, personal computer, PAD, etc., the account
information
of the first terminal 10 is filled in when the customer registers and stored
in the database of
the fund management service 40, the account information of the first terminal
10 includes
client ID, an account opening bank, account name, a bank account number, a
credit
balance, and so on, and may also include the customer's shipping address. The
payment
request information is the information such as the price (payment amount), the
receipt
address and the like after the customer purchasing the specific goods /
services, and the
first terminal 10 according to the pre-set rule, transmits the packet to the
second
Funds-Management server 40 according to the price of the goods / services, the
goods /
services.
[39] A second Funds-Management server 40 for receiving the payment request
information
transmitted from the first terminal 10 and judging whether or not the account
is based on
the payment amount and the first terminal account credit overdraft amount, the
first

WO 2016/173039 PCT/CN2015/080067
terminal account fund balance and the first terminal account credit amount If
the result of
the judgement is a payment capacity, the amount corresponding to the payment
amount in
the credit amount of the first terminal account is frozen and the electronic
payment
certificate is generated based on the payment request information and the
freeze
information, and then the electronic payment certificate is delivered to the
two ends, and
synchronized to the first Funds-Management server.
[40] The second terminal 20 is configured to receive the electronic payment
certificate
information transmitted from the second Funds-Management server 40.
[41] Specifically, the second terminal 20 is adapted to the recipient
(merchant), and the second
terminal includes but is not limited to devices such as servers, POS machines
and so on.
Merchants include but not limited to manufacturers, agents, and logistics
companies. The
merchant information is also registered in the database of the first Funds-
Management
server 30 and (or) the information centre server 50, and the merchant
information includes,
but not limited to merchant ID, merchant name, merchant opening bank, merchant
account
name, and merchant bank account number.
[42] The first Funds-Management server 30 is configured to receive and
store the electronic
payment certificate information transmitted from the second Funds-Management
server 40
and to allocate the received payment amount to the account of the second
terminal based
on the electronic payment certificate.
[43] The information centre server 50 is configured to receive the
electronic payment certificate
information transmitted from the second Funds-Management server 40.
[44] Wherein, the electronic payment certificate information is the key
information in the
payment behaviour, it is copied via the information centre server 50, which is
convenient to
subsequent follow-up of the electronic payment certificate information, and
verifies
whether there is an exception in the payment behaviour.
[45] In the present example, more than one first terminals 10 are connected
to the second
Funds-Management server 40 via the Internet, and more than one secondary
terminals 20
are connected to the first Funds-Management server 30 via the Internet, that
is, the server
where the second terminal 20 are at and the server where the first terminal 10
are located
are both Funds-Management servers. The Funds-Management server can be a single
or
multiple servers in a physical sense, e.g., they can work in parallel, and the
resources of the
server are automatically allocated to realize the fund management according to
the
different traffic. The Funds-Management server includes but is not limited to
servers in
institutions such as banks, businesses, and so on. In practical applications,
it can be seen as
the same bank's cluster Funds-Management server, but it is not limited to
banks, it also
CA 02987449 2017-11-28
WO 2016/173039 PCT/CN2015/080067
supports the flow of funds in other institutions in the Internet. The
information of the first
Funds-Management server 30 and the secondary Funds-Management server 40 is
supervised, and the supervisory function is incorporated into a bank or other
third party
organization.
[46] Example 2
[47] As shown in Figure 2, an example of the present invention provides a
payment method
based on a different Funds-Management server for using in Funds-Management
server,
which includes steps:
[48] S201, the first terminal transmits the payment request information to
the second
Funds-Management server, and the payment request information includes the
payment
amount.
[49] Specifically, the payment request information received by the second
Funds-Management
server includes merchant information, product information and payment amount,
and may
include first terminal information such as a client ID. Among them, the
merchant
information can be merchants' account number, and it can also be the only
identification of
the merchant information (such as merchant ID), to find the corresponding bank
account
information based on the unique identification of the business from the
database by the
second Funds-Management server. In the specific application, the account
information of
the second terminal should be kept confidential with respect to the first
terminal, so the
merchant information is preferably the merchant ID, and the second Funds-
Management
server inquires the merchant's receipt taking advantage of the corresponding
relationship
between the merchant ID and its receiving account. In other words, the first
terminal only
need to inform the second Funds-Management server to pay how much funds of
which
goods belongs to which merchant , the second Funds-Management server will be
able to
call out the merchant account to implement the appropriate payment operation.
[50] S202, the second Funds-Management server receives the first terminal
to deliver the
payment request information;
[51] S203, compare the first terminal account credit overdraft limit and
payment amount to
determine whether to generate electronic commitment payment certificate to pay
with it, if
allowed to pay, then enter S209, otherwise, to terminate the payment, the end
of the
process.
[52] S209, the second Funds-Management server freezes the first terminal
account credit
overdraft limit corresponding to the payment amount in the first terminal
account;
[53] This step only freezes the credit overdraft limit to ensure that there
is sufficient fund to
complete the transaction, but not directly allocates fund to the merchant
account, so that the
6
CA 02987449 2017-11-28
WO 2016/173039 PCT/CN2015/080067
interests of buyers and sellers are guaranteed. Latter, payment information is
sent by the
first terminal, the second terminal or the logistics company to confirm the
delivery is
completed, then after the second Funds-Management server receiving the payment
information, funds equal to the payment are allocated to the first fund
management server.
[54] S210, the second Funds-Management server generates the electronic
commitment payment
certificate based on the payment request information and the freezing
information, and
transmits the electronic commitment payment certificate to the second
terminal;
[55] Specifically, since the payment request information is sent by the
buyer to the
Funds-Management server through the first terminal operation, the payment
information is
objectively confirmed by the customer and authorized by the bank. The second
Funds-Management server freezes the corresponding amount of funds or credit
overdraft,
and generates an electronic commitment payment certificate based on the
payment
information, and the second terminal provides the corresponding merchandise /
service
according to the electronic commitment payment certificate.
[56] S211, the second Funds-Management server sends the electronic payment
certificate to the
second terminal and synchronizes to the first Funds-Management server;
Specifically, this
step sends the generated electronic certificate information to the information
centre server
so that the information centre server performs subsequent tracking.
[57] S212, the second Funds-Management server receives the payment
information;
[58] S213, the secondary Funds-Management server transfers to the first
fund management
server;
[59] S214, the first Funds-Management server transfers the received payment
amount to the
account of the secondary terminal.
[60] The payment method provided by the example of the present invention
receives the
payment request information of the first terminal through the second Funds-
Management
server, determines whether or not the payment is permitted based on the first
terminal
account credit overdraft limit and the payment amount, and by freezing the
first terminal
account of the credit overdraft limit, and generates electronic commitment
payment
certificate, which can reduce the risk of funds to protect the interests of
buyers and sellers.

to send the payment
request information;
[65] Specifically, the payment request information received by the second
Funds-Management
server includes merchant information, product information and payment amount,
and may
include first terminal information such as a client ID. Among them, the
merchant
information can be merchants' account number, and it can also be the only
identification of
the merchant information (such as merchant ID), to find the corresponding bank
account
information based on the unique identification of the business from the
database by the
second Funds-Management server. In the specific application, the account
information of
the second terminal should be kept confidential with respect to the first
terminal, so the
merchant information is preferably the merchant ID, and the second Funds-
Management
server inquires the merchant's receipt taking advantage of the corresponding
relationship
between the merchant ID and its receiving account. In other words, the first
terminal only
need to inform the second Funds-Management server to pay how much funds of
which
goods belongs to which merchant , the second Funds-Management server will be
able to
call out the merchant account to implement the appropriate payment operation.
[66] S203, compare the first terminal account credit loan limit and the
amount of payment to
determine whether to generate electronic commitment payment certificate to pay
with
credit commitment, if allowed, enter S209, otherwise enter S204.
[67] S204, compare the balance of the first terminal account and the amount
of payment to
determine whether to generate electronic commitment certificate to pay with
the credit
commitment, if allowed, enter S209, or end the process.
[68] Wherein the bank account of the first terminal can be informed to the
secondary
Funds-Management server by the first terminal in the payment request
information, or can
be queried from the database according to the first terminal ID by the
secondary fund
management server.
[69] S209, the seconds-Funds-Management server will freeze the balance of
the funds or credit
loan limit corresponding to the payment amount in the first terminal account;
[70] This step only to freeze the amount of payment or credit overdraft
limit to ensure that there
is sufficient funds to complete the transaction, but not directly to the
merchant account, so
that the interests of buyers and sellers can be protected, the following steps
can be
completed by the first terminal, the second terminal or the logistics company
delivering the
payment information to confirm the completion of the delivery. After the
Funds-Management server receives the payment information, allocates the
thawing funds

or the same amount comparing with payment funds to the merchant account.
[71] S210, the second Funds-Management server generates the electronic
commitment payment
certificate according to the payment request information and the freezing
information;
[72] Specifically, since the payment request information is sent by the
buyer to the second
Funds-Management server through the first terminal operation, the payment
information is
objectively confirmed by the customer and authorized to the bank. The
secondary
Funds-Management server freezes the corresponding amount of money or credit
overdraft,
and generates an electronic commitment payment certificate based on the
payment
information, and the secondary terminal provides the corresponding merchandise
/ service
according to the electronic commitment payment certificate.
[73] S211, transmits the electronic payment certificate to the second
terminal, and synchronizes
to the first Funds-Management server.
[74] Specifically, this step sends the generated electronic certificate
information to the
information centre server so that the information centre server performs
subsequent
tracking.
[75] S212, the second Funds-Management server receives the payment
information;
[76] S213, the secondary Funds-Management server transfers to the first
fund management
server;
[77] S214, the first Funds-Management server will receive the payment
amount of money to the

Management server
includes merchant information, merchandise information and payment amount, and
may
include first terminal information (e.g., client ID). Among them, the merchant
information
can be directly the merchant's receiving account, you can also uniquely
identify the
merchant information (for an example, merchant ID), by the Funds-Management
server
based on the unique identification of the merchant from the database to find
the
corresponding bank account information. In the specific application, the
account
information of the second terminal should be kept confidential with respect to
the first
terminal, so the merchant information is preferably the merchant ID, and the
Funds-Management server inquires the merchant's receivable account by using
the
correspondence relationship between the merchant ID and its receiving account.
In other
words, the first terminal only need to inform the Funds-Management server to
pay how
much funds of which goods belongs to which merchant, the Funds-Management
server
will be able to call out the merchant account to implement the appropriate
payment
operation.

merchant information (such as business ID), and find the corresponding bank
account
information by Funds-Management server based on the unique identification of
the
merchant from the database. In the specific application, the account
information of the
second terminal should be kept confidential from the first terminal, so the
merchant
information should preferably be the merchant ID, and the second Funds-
Management
server inquires the merchant's receipt by using the corresponding relationship
between the
merchant ID and its receiving account. In other words, the first terminal only
needs to
inform the secondary Funds-Management server which merchant's which goods need
to be
paid how much money, then the secondary Funds-Management server will be able
to call
out the merchant account to implement the appropriate payment operation.

second Funds-Management server. In the specific application, the account
information of
the second terminal should be kept confidential with respect to the first
terminal, so the
merchant information is preferably the merchant ID, and the second Funds-
Management
server inquires the merchant's receipt taking advantage of the corresponding
relationship
between the merchant ID and its receiving account. In other words, the first
terminal only
need to inform the second Funds-Management server to pay how much funds of
which
goods belongs to which merchant, the second Funds-Management server will be
able to
call out the merchant account to implement the appropriate payment operation.

that there is
sufficient funds to complete the transaction, but not directly to the merchant
account, so
that the interests of buyers and sellers can be protected, the following steps
can be
completed by the first terminal, the second terminal or the logistics company
delivering the
payment information to confirm the completion of the delivery. After the
Funds-Management server receives the payment information, allocates the
thawing funds
or the same amount comparing with payment funds to the merchant account.

business
information can be directly merchants' receiving account, and it can also be
the only
information that identifies the merchant (such as business ID). In specific
application, the
account information of the second terminal should be kept confidential with
respect to the
first terminal, so the merchant information is preferably the merchant ID,
that is, the first
terminal simply needs to informs the Funds-Management server to pay to which
merchant'
goods, the device will call out the merchant account to implement
corresponding payment
operation.
[134] The judgement module 302 is configured to determine whether or not to
allow to pay based
CA 02987449 2017-11-28

configured to determine
whether terminal account credit overdraft limit is greater than or equal to
the payment
amount, and if so, to allow payment; otherwise, the balance of the first
terminal account
whether the balance is greater than or equal to the amount of payment, if yes,
then allow
payment; otherwise to further determine whether the terminal account credit
overdraft limit
is greater than the amount of payment, if so, allowed to pay, or not allowed
to pay. In this
way, to determine the ability of paying of the first terminal account, you can
save the
payment cycle to protect the interests of businesses. Wherein the bank account
of the first
terminal may be informed to this device by the first terminal in the payment
request
information, or the device may inquire it from the database based on the first
terminal
information, and obtains the funds balance or the credit limit of the
corresponding first
terminal account. Only when the balance of funds or credit limit of the first
terminal
account greater than or equal to the amount of payment, it means that
customers have the
ability to pay, then payment behaviour allowed. When using a Funds-Management
server
to obtain a bank account or credit card account based on customer information,
a customer
may have multiple accounts, and a mixed payment method may also be used.
[136] The processing module 303 is configured to freeze the credit limit
corresponding to the
payment amount in the first terminal account when payment is allowed, and
generate an
electronic commitment payment certificate to deliver the electronic commitment
payment
certificate information to the second terminal.
