the
manufacturers. For example, in real life, it is hard for people to believe
that the brand
commodity sold on the stalls are genuine commodity, all of which are purchased
in the
specialty stores because they believe the sales in the specialty stores must
be genuine, so
people usually buy the original genuine in a specialty store. Because the
buyers are more
willing to believe that the products sold in the specialty store are genuine,
that is, the
traditional purchase and sale mainly depends on particular sales sites for
"shop-based"
product transactions. The actual situation is that the brand stores, and even
large-scale
e-commerce platform sell fake goods of high imitation are often disclosed and
found in
newspapers and other media.
[3] It is necessary to design a system or device that can integrate all the
real information of the
commodity under the transaction, complete transaction rules and service
transaction, and
create an environment that can give intelligent and independent trading of
commodity, so
that the existing trading mode can be separated from the "store standard" to
realize the
transaction mode of "object standard", that is, who sales are not important,
who is the
production of sales of commodity. who provided it is important to protect
consumers on the
network can be purchased by the original genuine, in order to eliminate
counterfeiting
online shopping at the same time, a large number of real economy of the
producers can
realize the direct marketing of the entire domain by affixing their own
intelligent electronic
transactions on the commodity.

seller's account information and other financial information) in the
electronic certificate is
approved, and then the electronic certificate is issued again. The purpose of
correctly
identifying the electronic certificate by the payment terminal is also solved
technically and
the identity verification of the article producer is also solved.
[43] The client terminal 4 is used to acquire the electronic certificate
via the internet, write a
destination of the logistics delivery in the electronic certificate, select a
preset logistics
support information to determine the logistics distribution information, and
determine,
according to the collection. the settlement information delivers the request
information to
the payment system to request payment of an amount corresponding to the
article attribute;
[44] The logistics terminal 3, after the payment receiving system receives
the request payment,
extracts an item corresponding to the attribute of the item and directs the
item to move to
the destination and delivers the receipt information to the payment system 1.
[45] For the system, refer to Figure 2 for a method for executing the
system. Figure 2 is a flow
chart of a method for payment system based on an electronic certificate
provided by the
present invention. The method mainly includes the following four steps:
[46] Sl. Providing and issuing an Electronic Certificate: the manufacturer
terminal 2 provides
an electronic certificate template for completing the configuration. After the
payment
system 1 issues the electronic certificate, the electronic certificate is
published through the
Internet. Wherein, manufacturers, distributors, or natural persons can provide
the main
body to generate electronic certificate resources. Specifically, the
"issuance" here refers to
writing the payment account information and the electronic signature written
to the
payment system in the electronic certificate.
[47] S2: Purchase of the electronic certificate: the client terminal 4
acquires the electronic
certificate, and delivers the request information to the payment system 1 to
request
payment of an amount corresponding to the item attribute; or to the electronic
device via
the vendor terminal 2. The payment system 1 delivers the request information
to request
payment of the amount corresponding to the article attribute: the payment
system 1
transfers the requested amount to the request status while synchronizing the
status
information to the client terminal 4 and / or the vendor terminal 2. And
informs the
logistics terminal 3 to prepare to go to the address provided by the owner of
the commodity
or may be the location of the commodity described in the electronic
certificate and extract
the commodity corresponding to the property of the commodity.
[48] S3, Delivery of commodity: the logistics terminal 3 guides the
commodity to move to the
destination.
[49] S4: Settlement of Funds: After the payment system 1 receives the
receipt information of the
6

CA 02997808 2018-03-07
WO 2016/037371 PCT/CN2014/086464
logistics terminal 3, the payment system 1 allocates the amount in the
requested state to the
account corresponding to the settlement information.
[50] Wherein, for the step Sl, the vendor terminal 2 is used to store an
electronic certificate of
writeable information, wherein the electronic certificate at least includes an
article attribute
with a name and an amount of money and settlement closing information with at
least one
account. The payment system 1 is used to write optional logistics support
information after
the electronic certificate is issued and deliver it to the manufacturer
terminal 2; and the
payment system 1 generates an electronic certificate which essentially
constructs an
electronic certificate that records all transactions. A preferred flow of step
S1 is shown in
Figure 3, which is a flow chart of generating and issuing the electronic
certificate provided
by the present invention. The flow chart includes the following steps:
[51] S101, the commodity provider submits a request for generating an
electronic certificate to
the manufacturer terminal 2.
[52] Preferably, the commodity provider can finish the configuration of the
article on the local
electronic terminal first, and then submit the request for generating the
electronic
certificate to the manufacturer terminal 2 again. In this way, the generated
electronic
certificate source file can be directly stored on the local electronic
terminal without being
stored in the manufacturer terminal 2 or the payment system 1, and only a
connection
signal can be provided to the manufacturer terminal 2 or the payment system 1.
[53] It is also possible to directly connect to the manufacturer's terminal
2, complete the
configuration of the item online, and then submit the request for generating
the electronic
certificate to the manufacturer's terminal 2. In addition, when the electronic
certificate is
generated online, the electronic certificate can be saved to the payment
system I directly.
When the electronic certificate is generated offline, an electronic
certificate may also be
generated for the item configuration request. The electronic certificate may
be stored
offline in a local electronic terminal.
[54] S102: the manufacturer terminal 2 receives the request and returns to
the cargo
provider-configuration page.
[55] S103: the commodity provider sets various label information of the
electronic certificate in
the configuration page, that is, sets up the fulfilment information of the
electronic
certificate, the electronic certificate at least includes the item attributes
with the name and
the amount of money, and at least one account with close billing information.
[56] S104, the manufacturer terminal 2 generates an electronic certificate
template configured
with the item information.
[57] S105. The commodity provider configures the issuer of the payment
system 1, that is,
7

CA 02997808 2018-03-07
V1,0 2016/037371 PCT/CN2014/086464
selects a third-party payment company within the payment system 1. The payment
system
1 can also be another platform that can support the flow of funds on the
Internet. At the
same time, the manufacturer terminal 2 delivers the payment provider l's
issuance request
to the payment system 1. This step may be completed by setting an issuance
module in the
payment system 1, and the issuance module writes the optional logistics
support
information after the issuance of the electronic certificate, generates an
electronic
certificate. and delivers the electronic certificate to the manufacturer
terminal 2.
[58] The issuing module is used to approve the payment account information
written in the
electronic certificate, and deliver the electronic certificate back to the
payment system 1.
[59] S106. the payment system 1 receives the issuance request to complete
the issuance, and
returns a P1D to the manufacturer terminal 2.
[60] The 'P1D' involved here is the port ID, which is also the 'port
number'. Normally, the P1D
consists of 8-bit port priority plus port number, port number is low, and the
default port
number priority 128.
[61] Of course, it is also possible for the commodity provider to directly
submit the request for
issuing the electronic certificate to the payment system 1, and the payment
system 1 returns
a PID to the commodity provider after confirming the identity of the commodity
provider.
It is also conceivable that the commodity provider may also submit a request
for issuing
the electronic certificate to the payment system I through the manufacturer's
terminal 2 so
as to obtain a P1D, which is also feasible.
[62] In S107, the manufacturer terminal 2 updates the state of the
electronic certificate to be
issued and synchronizes the information to the commodity provider.
[63] S108, the supplier of the commodity chooses the publication method of
the electronic
certificate, and generally selects to release the electronic certificate
through the preset
channels. The channel can be a link, it can be an advertisement, it can be
embedded in the
APP, and so on. This step may be implemented by adding the publication port
electrically
connected to the commodity provider. and the publication port is used to
connect to the
Internet to publish the electronic certificate.
[64] S109, the payment system I issues the electronic certificate according
to the release mode.
[65] S110. the commodity provider or other Internet users can view the
released electronic
certificate via a terminal connected to the Internet.
[66] For the step S2. the client terminal 4 in the system is used to browse
and acquire the
electronic certificate via the Internet, write a destination of the logistics
delivery in the
electronic certificate, and select the logistics support information as
determine the
distribution information, and deliver the request information to the payment
system 1
8

CA 02997808 2018-03-07
WO 2016/037371 PCT/CN2014/086464
according to the settlement information to request payment of an amount
corresponding to
the article attribute; and the client terminal 4 can implement its function
through a software
package such as a plug-in, an APP, and so on. After the payment system 1
receives the
request information from the client terminal 4, the payment system 1 turns the
requested
amount into a request state and notifies the logistics terminal 3 to go to the
location of the
commodity to extract the commodity corresponding to the property of the
commodity.
[67] The function of the client terminal 4 is to complete the purchase of
the electronic certificate
and provide the funds for the subsequent delivery steps to freeze or escrow
the certificate.
For the specific process of purchasing the electronic certificate, see Figure
4. Figure 4
shows the process of the electronic device certificate flow chart, the process
includes the
following steps:
[68] S201: the client terminal 4 selects a payment account, and may also
select a platform for
Internet to support the flow of funds, or may be the same terminal as the
payment system 1,
so as to issue a payment request. Generally, it need to enter the
corresponding account and
password to log in to pay the account.
[69] S202: the payment system 1 receives the selection instruction,
verifies the user identity of
the client terminal 4, and returns to the client terminal 4.
[70] S203: the client terminal 4 delivers the user identity information and
confirms that the
electronic certificate is to be paid.
[71] S204: After receiving the request information of the client terminal
4, the payment system
1 requests the selected account for the sum, and transfers the requested
amount into a
request state, and notifies the logistics terminal 3 to retrieve the payment
request
corresponding to the item attribute corresponding to the commodity. the amount
of money
provided by the user of the client terminal 4. This step may be implemented by
setting a
payment module in the payment system 1. Specifically, after the payment module
receives
the request information of the client terminal 4, the requested amount is
turned into a
request status and notifies the logistics terminal 3. The commodity
corresponding to the
article attributes are extracted.
[72] S205: the payment system 1 synchronizes the contract information of
the client terminal 4
with the terminal 3 and returns a performance receipt.
[73] S206: the client terminal 4 updates the fulfilment status of the
electronic certificate
according to the fulfilment receipt.
[74] With respect to step S3, the system includes a logistics terminal 3
for directing the
commodity to move to a destination and delivering the commodity receipt
information to
the payment system l . The logistics terminal 3 is disposed inside the
logistics company so
9

CA 02997808 2018-03-07
WO 2016/037371 PC1/CN2014/086464
that the electronic certificate can be fully circulated. The logistics
terminal 3 can also be
implemented in the form of software such as APP, plug-in. Whereas, the
commodity are
moved to the destination and can be delivered to the door or other forms of
delivery.
[75] The logistics terminal 3 ensures the timely delivery of the commodity
under the monitoring
mode and effectively combines the circulation track of the commodity and the
circulation
of funds so that the rights and interests of both the buyer and the seller can
be effectively
protected.
[76] The logistics terminal 3 essentially completes the delivery process.
Referring to Figure 5,
the flowchart of the delivery item provided by the present invention
preferably includes the
following steps:
[77] S301, the logistics terminal 3 delivers the commodity to submit the
fulfilment information
and simultaneously updates the fulfilment information of the payment system I.
[78] S302: After receiving the updated performance information, the payment
system 1 returns
the notification of the performance at the same time. In this step, the
logistics company
automatically synchronizes the logistics status with the payment system 1, for
example, has
shipped, has been received. The trigger electronic certificate module delivers
out the
performance to the payment system 2, prompting the two notifications to prompt
the
payment.
[79] S303: the electronic certificate updates the fulfilment information in
the logistics terminal
3.
[80] With respect to step S4, the system includes the payment system l,
wherein the payment
system 1 is used to: after receiving the receipt information of the logistics
terminal 3,
allocate the amount of money in the request state to the payment information
corresponding to the settlement information corresponding account. The payment
system 1
here is mainly a third party payment company. Of course, it is understandable
that it is also
feasible to allocate the amount described in the requested state between the
third party
payment company and the bank.
[81] The payment system 1 can be paid after the receipt of the commodity to
complete the
transaction, the preferred process of the part is shown in Figure 6, which is
