[26] Figure 1 is a system architecture diagram of an example of the present
invention. For the
convenience of explanation, only the portions related to the example of the
present
invention are shown.
[27] Electronic transaction certificate distributor 10, including the
parties to the transaction.
[28] Electronic transaction certificate 11, generated by electronic
transaction certificate
issuer 10 and distributed over the network.
[29] In the example of the present invention, the provider of the
transaction target can be an
article producer, a service provider, or an institution or an individual
authorized by a
producer or a service provider, such as an agent, a seller, etc.
[30] The provider of the transaction target generates the electronic
transaction voucher of the
transaction mark through the electronic transaction voucher generating device.
[31] The transaction target in the example of the present invention
includes an item or a
service, and the item may be a physical item or a virtual item.
[32] Electronic transaction certificates are the electronic identification
information of the
transaction targets such as commodity or services, which contains at least the
attribute

certificate is an
electronic file that can read and write information. With this electronic
transaction
certificate, the user does not need to use the traditional method such as
telephone, entity
or network shop, third party transaction platform, etc. it can generate
electronic trading
orders, delivery, payment and so on.
[34] In the example of the present invention, the generation of the
electronic transaction
certificate may be realized by the information of the electronic transaction
certificate
generating device.
[35] As an example of the present invention, the transaction subject
information may be
4
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-03-25

manually input into the electronic transaction certificate generating device.
[36] As another example of the present invention, through the data
information system, such
as the ERP (Enterprise resource planning) system to input the transaction
target
information into the electronic transaction certificate generating device.
[37] In the example of the present invention, the input transaction subject
information at least
includes attribute information of the transaction target, information of
transaction rules
and user's settlement account.
[38] Wherein, the attribute information of the transaction target is a
description of the subject
of the transaction, such as the size, weight, date of production, expiration
date, etc.
[39] The information of transaction rules is trading rules information of
buyers and sellers,
such as payment methods, refunds, maintenance and other information;
[40] Settlement account information such as the account opening information
of the
transaction subject provider, the name of the account holder, etc., for
account settlement
information.
[41] As another example of the present invention, the information of the
transaction subject
entered can also include the information of the logistics attribute of the
transaction, the
information of the insurance attribute, or the combination of the two.
[42] The logistics attribute information is information related to the
logistics of the
commodity, for example, the name of the logistics company that shipped, the
contact
telephone number and the delivery time and other information.
[43] The information of insurance attribute information is related to the
item insurance, such
as insurance contract number and insurance agent.
[44] The electronic transaction certificate is has a link to the order
generated page, when the
user selects to purchase the transaction target corresponding to the
electronic transaction
certificate, the electronic transaction certificate directly enters the order
generation page
corresponding to the transaction target. In this process, the buyer can
directly i contact
the transaction provider.
[45] An electronic warehouse 12 is configured to store the electronic
transaction certificate
and configure corresponding keywords to the electronic transaction
certificate, wherein
the electronic transaction certificate is generated by the transaction target
provider [46]
In the example of the present invention, the electronic warehouse may be used
on
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-03-25

the transaction subject provider. The transaction subject provider uses the
electronic
transaction voucher generating device to push the generated electronic
transaction
voucher to the electronic warehouse 12 through the network, and delivers the
electronic
Transaction documents, keywords, link address and other information posted to
the
Internet for users to inquire.
[47] As another example of the present invention, the electronic warehouse
may also be used
on a data storage service of a third-party platform, such as a search engine-
side server.
[48] The electronic dealer server 13 is used to record that the user
terminal obtains the
electronic transaction credential from the electronic warehouse, stores the
electronic
transaction certificate, and configures the keyword corresponding to the
electronic
transaction certificate and the keyword corresponding to the electronic
dealer, and the
keywords corresponding to an electronic dealer include the name, number,
nickname,
etc., of an electronic dealer.
[49] In the example of the present invention, the electronic dealer server
may be configured
on the provider of the transaction target or may be configured on the bank
terminal.
[50] In the example of the present invention, the transaction target
provider pushes the
generated electronic transaction certificate to the electronic dealer server
13 through the
network by using the electronic transaction certificate generating device, and
delivers
the information of the electronic transaction certificate such as the keyword,
the link
address and other information post to the Internet for user inquiries. As an
example of
the present invention, the electronic transaction certificate on the
electronic dealer server
13 is actively pushed by the electronic warehouse 12 to the electronic dealer
server, and
the keywords corresponding to the electronic transaction certificate, the
keywords
corresponding to the electronic dealer, the link address and other information
are
released to the Internet for users to query.
[51] As another example of the present invention, the electronic
transaction certificate on the
electronic dealer server 13 is that the electronic dealer server obtains the
electronic
transaction certificate corresponding to the query from the electronic
warehouse
according to the inquiry of the user terminal, and delivers the key words of
electronic
transaction certificates, key words of electronic traders, link addresses and
other
information are posted online for user enquiry.

electronic
transaction certificate, the electronic transaction certificate may also be
registered on the
electronic shelf of the user to display and sell, so that ordinary user
terminals also
become electronic traders.
[56] In the example of the present invention, the terminal software of the
user terminal 14
needs to be activated in advance before being used, for example, using a
software
license to activate the serial number.
[57] After the user terminal 1 registers and logs in to the electronic
merchant server 13 in the
example of the present invention, use keywords to query the electronic
transaction
certificate of the purchase item, and the electronic merchandise store 12 and
