Abstract

A method for submitting an order for use in a terminal, includes: scanning a pre-generated near field communication (NFC) tag to obtain tag data, wherein the tag data includes at least an identification code of a third-party service provider and transaction information; generating an order according to the identification code, the transaction information, and user information; and sending the order for a server to process to obtain the identification code, the transaction information, and the user information, and to further send the transaction information and the user information to the third-party service provider corresponding to the identification code.

Claims

1. A method for submitting an order implemented by a cell phone of a user, wherein the cell phone is coupled with a server via a wireless network, the method comprising:

writing, by the cell phone, an identification code corresponding to a third-party service provider, and transaction information corresponding to a product or service, into a near field communication (NFC) tag;

scanning, by the cell phone, the NFC tag to obtain tag data, wherein the tag data includes at least the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider and the transaction information corresponding to the product or service;

automatically synthesizing, by the cell phone, the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider, the transaction information corresponding to the product or service, and user information to generate an order for the user to acquire the product or service from the third-party service provider;

displaying, by the cell phone on a display, the generated order and a menu for confirming the generated order;

receiving, by the cell phone, a user selection from the menu to confirm the generated order;

in response to receiving the user selection from the menu to confirm the generated order, sending, by the cell phone via the wireless network, the generated order to the server, wherein the server processes the generated order to obtain the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider, the transaction information corresponding to the product or service, and the user information, and to further send the obtained transaction information and the obtained user information to the third-party service provider corresponding to the obtained identification code to complete submission of the generated order for the user to acquire the product or service from the third party service provider; and

receiving, by the cell phone via the wireless network, feedback of consumption information of the user from the server, wherein the server performs statistics of the consumption information regarding the user based on the generated order.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

encrypting, by the cell phone, the user information; and

writing, by the cell phone, the encrypted user information into the NFC tag.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

decrypting, by the cell phone, the encrypted user information to obtain decrypted user information.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining, by the cell phone, the user information from at least one of a local storage of the cell phone or a user input.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining, by the cell phone, the user information through a sensor.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the cell phone from the server or the third-party service provider, real-time order status information generated in accordance with a processing situation of the generated order.

7. A cell phone of a user, wherein the cell phone is coupled with a server via a wireless network, the cell phone comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

write an identification code corresponding to a third-party service provider, and transaction information corresponding to a product or service, into a near field communication (NFC) tag;

scan the NFC tag to obtain tag data, wherein the tag data includes at least the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider and the transaction information corresponding to the product or service;

automatically synthesize the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider, the transaction information corresponding to the product or service, and user information to generate an order for the user to acquire the product or service from the third party service provider;

display, on a display, the generated order and a menu for confirming the generated order;

receive a user selection from the menu to confirm the generated order;

in response to receiving the user selection from the menu to confirm the generated order, send, via the wireless network, the generated order to the server, wherein the server processes the generated order to obtain the identification code corresponding to the third-party service provider, the transaction information corresponding to the product or service, and the user information, and to further send the obtained transaction information and the obtained user information to the third-party service provider corresponding to the obtained identification code to complete submission of the generated order for the user to acquire the product or service from the third party service provider; and

receive, via the wireless network, feedback of consumption information of the user from the server, wherein the server performs statistics of the consumption information regarding the user based on the generated order.

8. The cell phone according to claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to:

encrypt the user information; and

write the encrypted user information into the NFC tag.

9. The cell phone according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

decrypt the encrypted user information to obtain decrypted user information.

10. The cell phone according to claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the user information from at least one of a local storage of the cell phone or a user input.

11. The cell phone according to claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the user information through a sensor.

12. The cell phone according to claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the server or the third-party service provider, real-time order status information generated in accordance with a processing situation of the generated order.
