Claims (31)

1. A fee calculation apparatus external to a vehicle, comprising:

a first receiver configured to receive a unique identification of the vehicle from a reading device in a charging gun, wherein the reading device is configured to automatically read the unique identification of the vehicle through a tag disposed in or around a charging port of the vehicle after the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the vehicle;

a transmitter configured to send a first request to a background server of a vehicle manufacturer for authentication after completing a fee calculation, the first request including the unique identification of the vehicle, wherein the first request is a payment deduction request configured to request the background server to send a transaction token which is stored on the background server and corresponds to the unique identification of the vehicle, the transaction token is used to initiate a transaction request to a transaction platform, and the background server is remote from the vehicle and performs, in response to the payment deduction request, a transaction behavior risk judgement based on vehicle operation data of the vehicle and the transaction token corresponding to the unique identification of the vehicle, wherein the transaction behavior risk judgement includes risk authentication through vehicle owner confirmation by pushing a confirmation button to an intelligent terminal for a vehicle owner to click to confirm a payment of a transaction corresponding to the payment deduction request; and

a second receiver configured to receive the transaction token from the background server according to a result of the transaction behavior risk judgement,

wherein:

the transmitter is further configured to initiate the transaction request to the transaction platform according to the payment deduction request in response to obtaining the transaction token; and

the second receiver is further configured to receive a response to the transaction request from the transaction platform, the response being generated by the transaction platform and indicating an outcome of processing the transaction request.

2. The fee calculation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the tag is an NFC tag, an RFID tag, or a QR code tag.

3. The fee calculation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the payment deduction request comprises: the unique identification of the vehicle, a transaction amount, merchant information, and a transaction description.

4. The fee calculation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the response to the first request comprises: a transaction success, a transaction failure, or a transaction non-response.

5. A charging post, comprising the fee calculation apparatus according to claim 1 .

6. A fee calculation method, comprising:

receiving, by a token requesting device of a vehicle payment system, a unique identification of a vehicle from a reading device in a charging gun, wherein the reading device is configured to automatically read the unique identification of the vehicle through a tag disposed in or around a charging port of the vehicle after the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the vehicle, or the reading device is configured to automatically read the unique identification of the vehicle via a power data transmission line after the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the vehicle, the power data transmission line being connected to a system bus of the vehicle via the charging port of the vehicle;

sending, by the token requesting device, a first request to a background server of a vehicle manufacturer for authentication after completing a fee calculation, the first request including the unique identification of the vehicle, wherein the first request is a payment deduction request configured to request the background server to send a transaction token which is stored on the background server and corresponds to the unique identification of the vehicle, and the background server is remote from the vehicle;

performing, by the background server in response to the payment deduction request, a transaction behavior risk judgement based on vehicle operation data of the vehicle and the transaction token corresponding to the unique identification of the vehicle, wherein the transaction behavior risk judgement includes risk authentication through vehicle owner confirmation by pushing a confirmation button to an intelligent terminal for a vehicle owner to click to confirm a payment of a transaction corresponding to the payment deduction request;

receiving the transaction token from the background server according to a result of the transaction behavior risk judgement;

initiating a transaction request to a transaction platform after obtaining the transaction token; and

receiving a response to the transaction request from the transaction platform, the response indicating an outcome of the transaction platform processing the transaction request.

7. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , wherein the tag is an NFC tag, an RFID tag, or a QR code tag.

8. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , wherein

the payment deduction request comprises: the unique identification of the vehicle, a transaction amount, merchant information, and a transaction description.

9. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , wherein the response to the first request comprises: a transaction success, a transaction failure, or a transaction non-response.

10. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

initiating, by the charging gun, charging the vehicle after the unique identification of the vehicle is received by the reading device.

11. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , wherein the first request further comprises merchant information corresponding to the fee calculation.

12. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , wherein the vehicle operation data includes location information of the vehicle.

13. The fee calculation method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

pushing, by the background server of the vehicle manufacturer when performing the transaction behavior risk judgement, a confirmation request to an intelligent terminal of the vehicle via a network for a vehicle owner to confirm.

14. The fee calculation method according to claim 13 , wherein the network is a network of vehicles.
