Abstract

A business process starting method, which is applied to a terminal and includes: acquiring multimedia data, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario, and uploading the multimedia data to a server; receiving business entry information returned by the server, wherein the server maintains a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, and the returned business entry information corresponds to standard image information matching the uploaded image data; and starting a business process based on the business entry information. The technical solution of the present application starts a corresponding business process by using a predetermined scenario that is easy to distinguish, thereby avoiding a wrong business process caused by the scanning of a wrong two-dimensional code, and increasing the security of a business while improving user experience.

Claims (39)

1 . A business process starting method, applied to a terminal, the method comprising:

acquiring multimedia data, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario, and uploading the multimedia data to a server;

receiving business entry information returned by the server, wherein the server maintains a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, and the returned business entry information corresponds to standard image information matching the uploaded image data; and

starting a business process based on the business entry information.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario comprises at least one of a picture taken for the predetermined scenario, a video shot for the predetermined scenario, or scanned data of the predetermined scenario.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the business entry information comprises a page address of a business process starting page; and

the starting the business process based on the business entry information comprises opening the business process starting page by using the page address.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein a client of the server is installed on the terminal; and

the page address comprises a local page address of the client.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the business entry information comprises invoking information of a business entry program; and

the starting the business process based on the business entry information comprises running the business entry program by using the invoking information.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information is maintained by the server and comprises a correspondence between standard image information of the predetermined scenarios as well as geographic locations of the predetermined scenarios and the business entry information; and

the method further comprises uploading, to the server, location information of a geographic location where the terminal is currently located, such that the server searches predetermined scenarios for the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, wherein a distance from an address location of the predetermined scenario to the uploaded location information does not exceed a set deviation threshold value.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined scenario comprises at least one of a merchant logo or a merchant trademark.

8 . A business process starting method, applied to a server, the server maintaining a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, the method comprising:

receiving multimedia data uploaded by a terminal, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario;

searching for standard image information matching the uploaded image data; and

returning, to the terminal, business entry information corresponding to the standard image information matching the uploaded image data.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the standard image information of a predetermined scenario comprises a standard feature code generated according to a standard image of the predetermined scenario; and

the searching for standard image information matching the uploaded image data comprises generating an upload feature code according to the uploaded image data, and searching for a standard feature code of which a degree of matching with the upload feature code exceeds a set matching threshold value.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario comprises a picture taken for the predetermined scenario, a video shot for the predetermined scenario, or scanned data of the predetermined scenario.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the business entry information comprises at least one of a page address of a business process starting page, or invoking information of a business entry program.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the page address of the business process starting page comprises a page address of a local page of a client installed on the terminal.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a standard image of the predetermined scenario uploaded by a user and corresponding business entry information, and generating the standard image information according to the standard image and saving a correspondence between the standard image information and the business entry information.

14 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information comprises a correspondence between standard image information of the predetermined scenarios as well as geographic locations of the predetermined scenarios and the business entry information;

the method further comprises receiving location information of a current geographic location uploaded by the terminal; and

the searching for standard image information matching the uploaded image data comprises: searching predetermined scenarios for the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, wherein a distance from an address location of the predetermined scenario to the uploaded location information does not exceed a set deviation threshold value.

15 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the predetermined scenario comprises at least one a merchant logo or a merchant trademark.

16 . A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire multimedia data, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario, and upload the multimedia data to a server;

receive business entry information returned by the server, wherein the server maintains a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, and the returned business entry information corresponds to standard image information matching the uploaded image data; and

start a business process based on the business entry information.

17 .- 30 . (canceled)

31 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal, cause the terminal to perform the method of claim 1 .

32 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a server, cause the server to perform the method of claim 8 .
