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 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 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.

merchant account,
which guaranteed the interests of buyers and sellers, the first terminal, the
second terminal
or the logistics company can deliver the payment information subsequently to
confirm the
delivery is completed, the second Funds-Management server transfers the
released funds
to the first Funds-Management server after receiving the payment information.
[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 delivered 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 funds 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 information centre server and 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.

information;
[58] S213, the second Funds-Management server transfers to the first Funds-
Management
server;
[59] S214, the first Funds-Management server transfers the received payment
amount to the
account of the second 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
balance of the
first terminal account funds and the payment amount, and by freezing the funds
of 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
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 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.

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 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.

Management server freezes the corresponding funds or credit loan limit 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.
[108] S211, transmits the electronic payment certificate to the second
terminal, and
synchronizes to the information centre server and 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.
[109] S212, the second Funds-Management server receives the payment
information;
[110] S213, the second Funds-Management server transfers to the first Funds-
Management
server;
[111] S214, the first Funds-Management server transfers the received payment
amount to the
account of the second terminal.
[112] The payment method provided by the example of the present invention
receives the
payment request information of the first terminal through the Funds-Management
server,
the first terminal account funds balance, the first terminal account credit
overdraft limit
and the first terminal account credit loan limit will be based to determine
whether to allow
payment, and by freezing the first terminal account payment amount, and
generating
electronic commitment payment certificates and synchronizing it to the
information
centre server in order to make real-time monitoring, which can reduce the risk
of funds to
protect the interests of the buyers and the sellers.
[113] Example 6
[114] As shown in Figure 6, an example of the present invention provides a
payment method
based on different Funds-Management server for use in a Funds-Management
server,
which method comprises the steps of:
[115] S201, the first terminal transmits the payment request
information to the second Funds-
Management server, and the payment request information includes the payment
amount.
[116] S202, the second Funds-Management server receives the payment request
information
CA 3057540 2019-10-03
sent by the first terminal;
[117] Specifically, the payment request information received by the second
Funds-Management
server includes merchant information, product information and payment amount,
and it
may also include first terminal information (for an example, 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
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 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.
[118] S203, the first terminal account balance and the payment amount are
compared to
determine whether or not an electronic commitment payment document can be
generated.
If the payment is allowed, S209 is entered; otherwise the process proceeds to
Step S204.
[119] S204, compares the credit amount of the account and the payment amount
to determine
whether or not the electronic commitment payment certificate can be generated.
If the
payment is allowed, the process proceeds to S209; otherwise the process
proceeds to Step
S205.
[120] S205, compare account credit overdraft limit and payment amount to
determine whether
to generate electronic commitment payment certificate for payment; if allowed
to pay,
then enter S209; otherwise, end the process.
[121] S209, the second Funds-Management server freezes corresponding balance
or credit limit
equal to the payment amount in the first terminal account;
[122] This Step only to freeze funds or credit 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
16
CA 3057540 2019-10-03
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.
[123] S210, the second Funds-Management server generates the electronic
commitment
payment certificate according to the payment request information and the
freezing
information;
[124] 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 by the bank. The
second Funds-
Management server freezes the corresponding funds or credit loan limit 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.
[125] S211, transmits the electronic payment certificate to the second
terminal, and
synchronizes to the information centre server and 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.
[126] S212, the second Funds-Management server receives the payment
information;
[127] S213, the second Funds-Management server transfers to the first Funds-
Management
server;
[128] S214, the first Funds-Management server transfers the received payment
amount to the
account of the second terminal.
[129] The payment method provided by the example of the present invention
receives the
payment request information of the first terminal through the Funds-Management
server,
determines whether or not the payment is permitted based on the balance of the
first
terminal account funds and the payment amount, and by freezing the funds or
credit
overdraft limit of the first terminal account, and generating electronic
commitment
payment certificate and synchronizing it to the information centre server in
order to make
real-time monitoring, which can reduce the risk of funds and protect the
interests of buyers

[133] Specifically, the payment request information received by the receiving
module 301
includes merchant information, merchandise information and payment amount, and
may
as well include first terminal information (for an example, client ID). Among
them, the
merchant information can be directly the merchants receiving account, you can
also
uniquely identify the merchant information (for an example, merchant 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 payment
based on the first terminal account fund balance or the credit overdraft limit
or the credit
loan limit and the payment amount.
[135] As a preferred scheme, the judgement module 302 is specifically
configured to determine
whether the balance of the funds of the first terminal account is greater than
or equal to
the payment amount, and if so, the payment is allowed; Whether the amount is
greater
than or equal to the payment amount, if yes, then allow payment; otherwise to
further
determine whether the credit limit is greater than the payment amount, if it
is 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
18
CA 3057540 2019-10-03
credit limit of the corresponding first terminal account. Only in the first
terminal account
of the funds balance or credit limit greater than or equal to the payment
amount, it means
that customers have the ability to pay behaviour, this time to allow payment
behaviour.
When using a Funds-Management server to obtain a bank account or credit card
account
based on the Funds-Management server, a customer may have multiple accounts,
and a
mixed payment method may also be used.
[136] When the processing module 303 is configured to allow payment, freezing
the funds
corresponding to the payment amount in the first terminal account; generating
an
electronic commitment payment certificate and delivering it to the second
terminal which
is connected to the second Funds-Management server and synchronizing to the
information centre server.
[137] Preferably, the processing module 303 further includes a freeze unit
3031, a certificate
generation unit 3032, and a synchronization unit 3033, wherein:
[138] The freezing unit 3031 is configured to freeze the funds corresponding
to the payment
amount in the first terminal account when payment is allowed,
[139] The certificate generation unit 3032 is configured to generate an
electronic commitment
payment document;
[140] The synchronization unit 3033 is configured to deliver the electronic
commitment
payment certificate information to the second terminal, and synchronizing to
the
information centre server.
[141] In addition, the processing module 303 may include a transfer unit,
configured to receive
the payment information, synchronize the payment information to the
information centre
server, and allocate the frozen funds to the Funds-Management server.
