The method includes: acquiring user information and first terminal information of a distribution terminal which are transmitted by a server; generating a first key and transmitting the first key to the server; acquiring second terminal information which is encrypted by the distribution terminal using the first key received from the server and is transmitted by the distribution terminal; decrypting the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key to obtain the second terminal information; matching the second terminal information with the first terminal information; and displaying the user information if the second terminal information matches the first terminal information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic distribution method, comprising: acquiring user information and first terminal information of a distribution terminal which are transmitted by a server; generating a first key and transmitting the first key to the server; acquiring second terminal information which is encrypted by the distribution terminal using the first key received from the server and is transmitted by the distribution terminal; decrypting the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key to obtain the second terminal information; matching the second terminal information with the first terminal information; and displaying the user information if the second terminal information matches the first terminal information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein displaying the user information comprises: displaying the user information until a preset time threshold elapses. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving a delivery command transmitted by the distribution terminal, wherein the delivery command comprises the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key; decrypting the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key to obtain the second terminal information; matching the second terminal information with the first terminal information; and performing delivery if the second terminal information successfully matches with the first terminal information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, further comprising: acquiring third terminal information of the user terminal which is transmitted by the server; generating a second key and transmitting the second key to the server; acquiring fourth terminal information which is encrypted by the user terminal using the second key received from the server and is transmitted by the user terminal; decrypting the fourth terminal information encrypted by using the second key to obtain the fourth terminal information; matching the fourth terminal information with the third terminal information; and unlocking a locking apparatus to complete distribution if the fourth terminal information matches the third terminal information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, further comprising: transmitting a message that the distribution is completed to the server. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, wherein the first terminal information comprises a Bluetooth Media Access Control (MAC) address and/or a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip Identity (ID) of the distribution terminal stored by the server; the second terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID stored by the distribution terminal; the third terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID of the user terminal stored by the server; and the fourth terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID stored by the user terminal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving a position reporting command transmitted by the server; and acquiring positioning information and reporting the positioning information to the server. ### Claim 8 An electronic distribution apparatus, comprising: a processor; and a memory connected to the processor, and has stored thereon instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to be configured to: acquire user information and first terminal information of a distribution terminal which are transmitted by a server; generate a first key and transmit the first key to the server; acquire second terminal information which is encrypted by the distribution terminal using the first key received from the server and is transmitted by the distribution terminal; decrypt the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key to obtain the second terminal information; match the second terminal information with the first terminal information; and control a display to display the user information if the second terminal information matches the first terminal information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the user information until a preset time threshold elapses. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a delivery command transmitted by the distribution terminal, wherein the delivery command comprises the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key; decrypt the second terminal information encrypted by using the first key to obtain the second terminal information; match the second terminal information with the first terminal information; and perform delivery if the second terminal information successfully matches with the first terminal information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to: acquire third terminal information of the user terminal which is transmitted by the server; generate a second key and transmit the second key to the server; acquire fourth terminal information which is encrypted by the user terminal using the second key received from the server and is transmitted by the user terminal; decrypt the fourth terminal information encrypted by using the second key to obtain the fourth terminal information; match the fourth terminal information with the third terminal information; and unlock a locking apparatus to complete distribution if the fourth terminal information matches the third terminal information. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a message that the distribution is completed to the server. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the first terminal information comprises a Bluetooth Media Access Control (MAC) address and/or a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip Identity (ID) of the distribution terminal stored by the server; the second terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID stored by the distribution terminal; the third terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID of the user terminal stored by the server; and the fourth terminal information comprises a Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID stored by the user terminal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a position reporting command transmitted by the server; acquire positioning information; and report the positioning information to the server.
