Abstract

A process triggering method is disclosed. The method may be implemented by a processor. The method may comprise receiving an input operation on an unlock interface of a terminal device, determining input operation information corresponding to the input operation, determining triggering operation information matching with the determined input operation information, determining a process corresponding to the input operation according to a predetermined corresponding relationship between the triggering operation information and the process, and triggering the process.

Claims

1. A process triggering method, implemented by a processor of a first terminal device having a payment application, comprising:

receiving an input operation on an unlock interface of the first terminal device;

determining input operation information corresponding to the input operation, wherein the input operation information comprises a password for accessing only the payment application, and wherein the input operation information does not have a function of unlocking the first terminal device at a system level, wherein unlocking the first terminal device at the system level includes making other applications on the first terminal device accessible and unlocking the first terminal device at the system level requires a password different from the password for accessing the payment application;

determining whether triggering operation information of the payment application matches with the determined input operation information according to a predetermined corresponding relationship between the triggering operation information and the payment application; and

responsive to the triggering operation information of the payment application matching with the determined input operation information, displaying a payment Quick Response (QR) code in the payment application on the first terminal device to allow a second terminal device to scan the QR code to perform a payment transfer function between the two terminal devices without unlocking at least the first terminal device at the system level.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the triggering operation information comprises at least one of default triggering operation information or custom triggering operation information.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined corresponding relationship is determined by:

receiving custom triggering operation information inputted by a user;

receiving a selection instruction inputted by the user;

determining identification information corresponding to the selection instruction; and

establishing a corresponding relationship between the custom triggering operation information and the identification information.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the displaying the payment QR code in the payment application comprises:

acquiring identification information corresponding to the input operation information;

searching for the triggering operation information matching with the identification information in a list, according to the identification information; and

displaying the payment QR code in the payment application of which the triggering operation information matches with the identification information.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the payment QR code is automatically updated over time.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the payment application includes multiple payment operations.

7. A process triggering apparatus having a payment application, comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the process triggering apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving an input operation on an unlock interface of the apparatus;

determining input operation information corresponding to the input operation, wherein the input operation information comprises a password for accessing only the payment application, and wherein the input operation information does not have a function of unlocking the apparatus at a system level, wherein unlocking the apparatus at the system level includes making other applications on the apparatus accessible and unlocking the apparatus at the system level requires a password different from the password for accessing the payment application;

determining whether triggering operation information of the payment application matches with the determined input operation information according to a predetermined corresponding relationship between the triggering operation information and the payment application; and

responsive to the triggering operation information of the payment application matching with the determined input operation information, displaying a payment Quick Response (QR) code in the payment application on the apparatus to allow a terminal device to scan the QR code to perform a payment transfer function between the apparatus and the terminal device without unlocking at least the apparatus at the system level.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the triggering operation information comprises at least one of default triggering operation information or custom triggering operation information.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the predetermined corresponding relationship is determined by:

receiving custom triggering operation information inputted by a user,

receiving a selection instruction inputted by the user;

determining identification information corresponding to the selection instruction; and

establishing a corresponding relationship between the custom triggering operation information and the identification information.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein displaying the payment QR code in the payment application comprises:

acquiring identification information corresponding to the input operation information;

searching for the triggering operation information matching with the identification information in a list, according to the identification information; and

displaying the payment QR code in the payment application of which the triggering operation information matches with the identification information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the payment QR code is automatically updated over time.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the payment application includes multiple payment operations.

13. A process triggering method, implemented by a processor of a first terminal device having a payment application, comprising:

receiving an input operation on an unlock interface of the terminal device, wherein the input operation comprises a password for accessing only the payment application, and wherein the input operation information does not have a function of unlocking the first terminal device at a system level, wherein unlocking the first terminal device at the system level includes making other applications on the first terminal device accessible and unlocking the first terminal device at the system level requires a password different from the password for accessing the payment application;

determining whether the payment application matches with the input operation according to a predetermined corresponding relationship between the triggering operation information and the payment application; and

responsive to the triggering operation information of the payment application matching with the determined input operation information, displaying a payment Quick Response (QR) code in the payment application on the first terminal device to allow a second terminal device to scan the QR code to perform a payment transfer function between the two terminal devices without unlocking at least the first terminal device at the system level.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the first terminal device is a mobile terminal.

15. The method according to claim 13, wherein the corresponding relationship between the input operation and the payment application is defined by a user.

16. The method according to claim 13, further comprising the following steps for defining a corresponding relationship between input operations and the payment application:

receiving a selection instruction on the payment application inputted by a user;

receiving an input operation inputted by the user; and

establishing a corresponding relationship between the payment application and the input operation.

17. The method according to claim 13, wherein the payment QR code is automatically updated over time.

18. The method according to claim 13, wherein the payment application includes multiple payment operations.
