Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an electronic distribution method and apparatus. 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.

First claim

I 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,
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,
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,
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 Bluetooth MAC address and/or an NFC chip ID stored by the user terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the user information comprises:
displaying the user information until a preset time threshold elapses.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a message that the distribution is completed to the server.

4. 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.

5. 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,
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,
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,
wherein the first terminal information comprises Bluetooth Media Access Control (MAC) address and/or 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 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 NEC chip stored by the user terminal.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the user information until a preset time threshold elapses.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a message that the distribution is completed to the server.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , 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.
