Business process starting method and apparatus

A system, comprising:

• a terminal;
• and
• a server, the server maintaining a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, each predetermined scenario corresponding to an object related to a business process to be started, the object being distinguishable by human eye, the server comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive multimedia data uploaded by the terminal, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario;
• search for standard image information matching the uploaded image data;
• and
• return, to the terminal, first business entry information corresponding to the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, the first business entry information being configured to cause initiation of a payment process on the terminal,
• wherein the correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information comprises a correspondence between the standard image information of the predetermined scenarios as well as geographic locations of the predetermined scenarios and the business entry information;
• and the processor is further configured to:
• receive location information of a current geographic location uploaded by the terminal;
• and
• search, based on the uploaded location information, the predetermined scenarios for the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, wherein a distance from an address location of each of the searched predetermined scenarios to the uploaded location information does not exceed a set deviation threshold value,
• wherein the standard image information of the predetermined scenario comprises a standard feature code generated according to at least one of a color feature, a texture feature, a shape feature, or a spatial relationship feature of a standard image of the predetermined scenario;
• and
• the processor is further configured to generate an upload feature code according to at least one of a color feature, a texture feature, a shape feature, or a spatial relationship feature of the uploaded image data, and match standard feature codes of a plurality of distinct objects in a correspondence table with the upload feature code, to find a standard feature code of which a degree of matching with the upload feature code exceeds a set matching threshold value, wherein each of the plurality of distinct objects is one of a merchant logo or a merchant trademark.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a server in a system including the server and a terminal, cause the system to perform a business process starting method, the server maintaining a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, each predetermined scenario corresponding to an object related to a business process to be started, the object being distinguishable by human eye, the method comprising:

• receiving multimedia data uploaded by the 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, first business entry information corresponding to the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, the first business entry information being configured to cause initiation of a payment process on the terminal,
• wherein the correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information comprises a correspondence between the 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:
• receiving location information of a current geographic location uploaded by the terminal;
• and
• searching, based on the uploaded location information, the predetermined scenarios for the standard image information matching the uploaded image data, wherein a distance from an address location of each of the searched predetermined scenarios to the uploaded location information does not exceed a set deviation threshold value,
• wherein the standard image information of the predetermined scenario comprises a standard feature code generated according to at least one of a color feature, a texture feature, a shape feature, or a spatial relationship feature of a standard image of the predetermined scenario;
• and
• the searching for the standard image information matching the uploaded image data comprises generating an upload feature code according to at least one of a color feature, a texture feature, a shape feature, or a spatial relationship feature of the uploaded image data, and matching standard feature codes of a plurality of distinct objects in a correspondence table with the upload feature code, to find a standard feature code of which a degree of matching with the upload feature code exceeds a set matching threshold value, wherein each of the plurality of distinct objects is one of a merchant logo or a merchant trademark.
