Abstract

A network leasing system and a method thereof are provided, which lease a translation service through network connection, generate an authentication code based on a product serial number, and use the authentication code to decide whether to install a program data or not, so as to solve the problems that a software lease service cannot be performed in a network and an installation of an illegal program data cannot be restricted, thereby implementing a software lease service in a network, and achieving the technical effect of providing a translation service to a lessee in real time by an authentication process.

Claims

1. A network leasing system, at least comprising:

a translation service receiving end, adapted to send a product serial number; and

a translation service providing end, adapted to set up a network connection with the translation service receiving end, wherein the translation service providing end comprises;

a providing module, adapted to provide at least one function option and a day number setting to the translation service receiving end based on the product serial number;

a charging module, adapted to calculate expenses based on the function options and the day number setting selected by the translation service receiving end, and generate a payment means;

a transaction module, adapted to provide the payment means for the translation service receiving end to implement a payment transaction;

a computing module, adapted to generate an authentication code based on the product serial number; and

a transferring module, adapted to transfer the authentication code and at least one program data corresponding to the selected function options to the translation service receiving end through network connection;

wherein the translation service receiving end authenticates whether the authentication code is correct or not, and if yes, the translation service receiving end installs the program data, otherwise, the translation service receiving end refuses to install the program data.

2. The network leasing system according to claim 1, wherein the translation service receiving end is installed in a personal computer or a notebook.

3. The network leasing system according to claim 1, wherein the payment means is to pay through a network payment.

4. The network leasing system according to claim 1, wherein a valid period of the program data is set based on the day number setting.

5. The network leasing system according to claim 1, wherein the authentication code is calculated through an authentication program and both the translation service receiving end and the translation service providing end have the authentication program.

6. A network leasing method, at least comprising:

setting up a network connection between a translation service receiving end and a translation service providing end;

sending a product serial number to the translation service providing end by the translation service receiving end;

providing at least one function option and a day number setting to the translation service receiving end based on the product serial number by the translation service providing end;

calculating, by the translation service providing end, expenses based on the function options and the day number setting selected by the translation service receiving end and generating a payment means;

providing the payment means for the translation service receiving end to implement a payment transaction by the translation service providing end;

generating an authentication code based on the product serial number by the translation service providing end;

transferring the authentication code and at least one program data corresponding to the selected function options to the translation service receiving end through the network connection by the translation service providing end; and

authenticating, by the translation service receiving end, whether the authentication code is correct or not, wherein if yes, the translation service receiving end installs the program data, otherwise, the translation service receiving end refuses to install the program data.

7. The network leasing method according to claim 6, wherein the translation service receiving end is installed in a personal computer or a notebook.

8. The network leasing method according to claim 6, wherein the payment means is to pay through a network payment.

9. The network leasing method according to claim 6, wherein, the program data set lifespan based on the day number setting.

10. The network leasing method according to claim 6, wherein, the authentication code is derived through computation with an authentication program, and both the translation service receiving end and the translation service providing end have the authentication program.
