DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the invention. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the invention as recited in the appended claims.
In exemplary embodiments, there is provided a method for submitting an order using a near field communication (NFC) tag. By scanning the NFC tag, a terminal can obtain data regarding a service request and generate an order, and then directly transmit the order to a service provider.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method 100 for submitting an order for use in a terminal, according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1, the method 100 includes the following steps.
In step 101, the terminal scans a pre-generated NFC tag to obtain tag data, the tag data including an identification code of a service provider, such as a seller, and transaction information.
In step 102, the terminal generates an order according to the identification code, the transaction information, and user information.
In step 103, the terminal sends the order to the service provider corresponding to the identification code to complete submission of the order.
In exemplary embodiments, the transaction information is content of services ordered by the user. For example, if the NFC tag is used for ordering a takeout from a restaurant, the transaction information may be a name of the takeout, such as a combo type. Also for example, if the NFC tag is used for paying a phone bill, the transaction information may be an amount of the phone bill.
In the illustrated embodiment, because the tag data of the NFC tag contains the identification code of the service provider and the transaction information the terminal can determine the service provider according to the identification code, generate the corresponding order, and then send the order to the service provider. Therefore, the user may not need to use different service software or websites provided by different service providers, respectively, to submit orders. The terminal can recognize the service provider corresponding to the order based on the identification code, and send the order to the corresponding service provider. In this way, time for the user to obtain a service via the terminal may be saved, thereby improving convenience of obtaining services. In addition, service providers do not need to develop their own applications or build a website for a customer service system, thereby saving service cost and improving service efficiency.
In exemplary embodiments, step 103 includes converting a format of the order into a format supported by the service provider corresponding to the identification code, and sending the order in the converted format to the service provider corresponding to the identification code.
In the illustrated embodiment, different service providers may support different order formats. For example, a restaurant may have an order format different from that of a taxi company or a telephone company. Therefore, the terminal converts a format of an order into a format supported by the corresponding service provider before sending the order. For the user, the same format may be used to display different orders on the terminal, and there is no need for a variety of different formats of orders, which can save the time for the user to obtain services via the terminal, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services. In addition, for service providers, there is no need to identify different formats of orders, thereby saving service cost and improving service efficiency.
In the illustrated embodiment, before step 101, the identification code of the service provider and the transaction information may be written into the NFC tag in advance. Thus, when placing an order, the user need not input that information, but simply scans the NEC tag using the terminal, and the information can be synthesized automatically into the order, which can save the time for the user to obtain the service, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services.
In exemplary embodiments, the user information in step 102 may be obtained through first, second, and third methods.
In the first method, the user information is pre-stored in the NFC tag, and is obtained by the terminal when scanning the NFC tag.
In one exemplary embodiment, the user information is encrypted, and the encrypted user information is written into the NFC tag by the terminal. The terminal can obtain the tag data by scanning the pre-generated NFC tag, and then decrypt the encrypted user information to obtain the user information.
With the encryption of the user information, only the terminal is able to read the encrypted user information from the NFC tag, thereby improving the security of user privacy. In addition, because the user information is stored in the NFC tag in advance, when placing the order, the user need not input that information, but simply scans the NFC tag using the terminal, and the information can be synthesized automatically into the order, which can save the time for the user to obtain services, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services.
In the second method, the user information is obtained locally from the terminal, or from user input. In this case, there may be no need to encrypt the user information. By storing the user information locally in the terminal or inputting the user information by the user, the security of the user privacy is improved, which can save the time for the user to obtain services, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services.
In the third method, the user information is obtained via a sensor. For example, if the user wants to take a taxi, a location of the user is determined via a global positioning system (GPS) and the location is the obtained user information. Because the user information is obtained via a sensor, the accuracy and convenience of obtaining the user information may be improved. In addition, user input is reduced, and the time for the user to obtain the service is saved, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining the service.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a user interface 200 for submitting an order, according to an exemplary embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, the following information is written into an erasable NFC tag with the terminal in advance:
Service provider ID: 000001 (Restaurant A)
Transaction Information: Combo Type: Cheeseburger combo,
User Information:

    
    
        User Name: John,
        Tel: 1234567,
        Delivery Address: Room 201, 2nd floor, XXX Building
    
    


When the terminal scans the NFC tag, an order as shown in FIG. 2 will be displayed on the user interface 200 of the terminal. After the user confirms the order, the terminal sends the order to Restaurant A, and then Restaurant A can receive this order so as to deliver the order to the user.
In the above embodiment, the user only needs to use the terminal to scan the NFC tag and confirm the order displayed on the user interface 200, without the need to input names of food to be ordered and the user information needed for ordering, which can save the time for the user to obtain services via the terminal, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services.
In exemplary embodiments, the terminal can receive in real time order status information generated by the service provider in accordance with a processing situation of the order. With the real-time access to the order status information by the terminal, the user can learn the processing situation of the order in real time, thereby improving the convenience of obtaining services.
In exemplary embodiments, the terminal performs statistics on user consumption information according to the order. For example, the terminal performs statistics of a total number of times that the user places orders, wherein, a first number of times that the user places orders to a first service provider, such as a restaurant, a second number of times that the user places orders to a second service provider, such as a taxi service provider, etc., and a consumption amount of each service.
In the illustrated embodiment, the terminal performs statistics on the user consumption information so that the user can be accurately provided with consumption records, which is convenient for the user to query past consumption records, thereby improving user experience.

The memory 420 is configured to store software programs and modules, and the processor 480 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 420. The memory 420 may mainly include a program storing area and a data storing area. The program storing area may store an operating system, at least one application program required for functions such as a sound playing function, an image playing function or the like. The data storing area may store data such as audio data and a telephone book, etc., created in accordance with the use of the terminal 400. Furthermore, the memory 420 may include a high speed random access memory or a nonvolatile memory, for example, at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device or other nonvolatile solid-state memory devices. Correspondingly, the memory 420 may also include a storage controller, to provide the processor 480 and the input unit 430 with an access to the memory 420.
The input unit 430 is configured to receive input figure or character information, and generate a signal input of a keyboard, a mouse, an operating stick, an optical device, or a trackball related to user settings and function control. For example, the input unit 430 may include a touch-sensitive surface 431 and one or more other input apparatuses 432. The touch-sensitive surface 431, also referred to as a touch display screen or a touch panel, may collect touch operations from a user performed thereon or nearby (for example, operations on the touch-sensitive surface 431 or near the touch-sensitive surface 431 by a user using any appropriate object or accessory such as a finger, or a touch pen, etc.), and may drive a corresponding connecting device according to a preset program. For example, the touch-sensitive surface 431 may include first and second parts, i.e., a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects touch operations of the user, and detects signals caused by the touch operations, then transmits the signals to the touch controller. The touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, and converts the touch information into coordinates of touch points to be sent to the processor 480. The touch controller receives commands sent from the processor 480 and executes the commands. Furthermore, the touch-sensitive surface 431 may be realized in various types, such as a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, or a surface acoustic wave type. In addition to the touch-sensitive surface 431, the input unit 430 may also include one or more other input apparatuses 432. For example, the other input apparatuses 432 may include one or more of a physical keyboard, a function key (such as a volume control key, or a switching key, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and an operating stick, but are not limited thereto.
The display 440 is configured to display information input by the user or information supplied to the user and various graphical user interfaces of the terminal 400.
