Abstract
Method of paying a toll of a vehicle using an electronic device includes sending user information of the vehicle to a server, and requesting the server to allocate an identification code for paying the toll. When the identification code is received from the server, the identification code is encrypted using a preset encryption algorithm. Encrypted identification code is sent to the server, when a payment notice is received. The toll is deducted according to a preset toll collection rule from an account corresponding to a decrypted identification code, which is obtained by decrypting the encrypted identification code by the server.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for paying a toll of a vehicle using an electronic device that is positioned in the vehicle, the electronic device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- sending user information of the vehicle to a server, the server allocating an identification code corresponding to a user associated with the vehicle;
- receiving the identification code from the server;
- encrypting, using the at least one processor, the identification code using a preset encryption algorithm and obtaining an encrypted identification code;
- receiving a payment notice of paying the toll from a monitoring device that is in communication with the server;
- and
- sending the encrypted identification code to the server, the server deducting the toll according to a preset toll collection rule from an account of the user.
A computer-implemented method for collecting a toll of a vehicle using a server, the server comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an electronic device that is positioned in the vehicle, an encrypted identification code, or receiving the encrypted identification code from a monitoring device that is in communication with the server;
- decrypting the encrypted identification code using a preset decryption algorithm and obtaining a decrypted identification code;
- and
- deducting the toll according to a preset toll collection rule, from an account corresponding to the decrypted identification code.
An electronic device that is positioned in a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a storage device that stores one or more programs, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- send user information of the vehicle to a server, the server allocating an identification code corresponding to a user associated with the vehicle;
- receive the identification code from the server;
- encrypt, using the at least one processor, the identification code using a preset encryption algorithm and obtain an encrypted identification code;
- receive a payment notice of paying the toll from a monitoring device that is in communication with the server;
- and
- send the encrypted identification code to the server, the server deducting the toll according to a preset toll collection rule from an account of the user.
