Method and apparatus of obtaining location information

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors on a terminal and one or more processors on a server, cause the one or more processors on the terminal to perform operations comprising:

• displaying a digital object unique identifier associated with an account of a for an electronic payment with respect to a transaction, for a first transaction device to scan the displayed digital object unique identifier and deduct an amount from the account for the transaction;
• determining a current location of the terminal via a Global Positioning System (GPS) of the terminal as transaction address information of the transaction;
• generating transaction data that includes a transaction device identifier of the first transaction device and the transaction address information of the transaction, wherein the transaction device identifier comprises an identifier of the first transaction device;
• and
• transmitting the transaction data to the server;
• and cause the one or more processors on the server to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the transaction data;
• determining the transaction device identifier and the transaction address information included in the transaction data;
• in response to that a location of the first transaction device corresponding to the transaction device identifier is not stored on the server previously, storing the transaction address information as the location of the first transaction device corresponding to the transaction device identifier;
• and
• providing, by the server, respective location information of one or more second transaction devices that are located in a preset geographical location range of the terminal, attribute information including a type of a store at which the one or more second transaction devices are located, and type information of the geographical location range related to fraudulent payment or identity theft to the terminal.

A system comprising:

• a terminal and an apparatus, wherein:
• the terminal is configured to:
• display a digital object unique identifier associated with an account of a user for an electronic payment with respect to a transaction, for a first transaction device to scan the displayed digital object unique identifier and deduct an amount from the account for the transaction;
• determine a current location of the terminal via a Global Positioning System (GPS) of the terminal as transaction address information of the transaction;
• generate transaction data that includes a transaction device identifier of the first transaction device and the transaction address information of the transaction, wherein the transaction device identifier comprises an identifier of the first transaction device;
• and
• transmit the transaction data to the apparatus;
• and the apparatus is configured to:
• receive the transaction data;
• determine the transaction device identifier and the transaction address information included in the transaction data obtained by the acquisition module;
• in response to that a location of the first transaction device corresponding to the transaction device identifier is not stored previously on the apparatus, store the transaction address information determined by the determination module as the location of the first transaction device corresponding to the transaction device identifier;
• and
• provide, by the server, respective location information of one or more second transaction devices that are located in a preset geographical location range of the terminal, attribute information including a type of a store at which the one or more second transaction devices are located, and type information of the geographical location range related to fraudulent payment or identity theft to the terminal.
