10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining, from the barcode generation request, the information about the barcode scanning party.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the identifying further comprises:

identifying, based on positioning information of the end-user device, a merchant at which the end-user device is located;

identifying a resolution of a barcode scanning device of the merchant;

identifying a plurality of code systems corresponding to the resolution of the barcode scanning device; and

identifying the at least two code systems from the plurality of code systems.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein each piece of the at least two pieces of barcode information comprises a corresponding piece of barcode data, and wherein each barcode image is generated by the end-user device by using a corresponding piece of barcode data.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting, by the application running on the end-user device, the barcode generation request to the server;

receiving, by the application running on the end-user device and from the server, the barcode generation response; and

causing, by the application running on the end-user device, a display on the end-user device of, alternately, each barcode image corresponding to each piece of the at least two pieces of barcode information.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein the display comprises displaying, sequentially, each barcode image corresponding to each piece of the at least two pieces of barcode information for a corresponding predetermined duration.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations comprising:

receiving, using a server, a barcode generation request sent by an end-user device;

generating, using the server and based on the barcode generation request, at least two pieces of barcode information by using at least two code systems, respectively; and

transmitting, using the server, a barcode generation response to the end-user device, wherein the barcode generation response comprises the at least two pieces of barcode information, wherein the barcode generation response causes an application running on the end-user device to display on the end-user device, in an alternating manner, a respective barcode image corresponding to each piece of the at least two pieces of barcode information.
