Abstract

Disclosed are a method for generating billing information, a terminal, a server, and a billing system. The method for generating billing information comprises: receiving an end billing request transmitted by a terminal, the end billing request comprising location information of the terminal and bus information; and executing, on the basis of the location information of the terminal and of the bus information, an end billing operation with respect to a first terminal from which the distance to a bus is greater than a distance threshold.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for generating billing information, comprising:
receiving, by a server remote to a public transportation, an end billing request sent by a terminal installed with an application (APP) configured to perform swiping interactive operations with the server, wherein the end billing request comprises location information of the terminal and public transportation information; and
performing, by the server, an end billing operation for a first terminal from which a distance to public transportation is greater than a distance threshold according to the location information of the terminal and the public transportation information, and generating the billing information,

wherein the performing the end billing operation for the first terminal from which the distance to the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold, according to the location information of the terminal and the public transportation information, and generating the billing information comprises:
obtaining, by the server, location information of the public transportation according to the public transportation information, wherein the location information of the public transportation is obtained by the server interacting with a corresponding onboard card machine based on the public transportation information;
determining, by the server, whether a distance between the terminal and the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold according to the location information of the terminal and the location information of the public transportation; and
performing, by the server, the end billing operation for the first terminal from which the distance to the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold and generating the billing information, and
wherein the end billing operation comprises instructing the terminal to clear the public transportation information, and instructing the APP to access an NFC card bound to the terminal or an NFC module in the terminal, to deduct corresponding travel cost.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after the receiving the end billing request sent by the terminal, the method further comprises:
determining whether the terminal sending the end billing request has an unfinished travel; and
the performing the end billing operation for the first terminal and generating the billing information comprises: performing the end billing operation for the first terminal which is determined to have the unfinished travel and from which the distance to the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold and generating the billing information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: sending billing result information to the terminal and generating the billing information according to the billing result information, wherein the billing result information comprises end billing information sent to the first terminal or a refusal end billing message sent to a second terminal from which a distance to the public transportation is less than or equal to the distance threshold.

4. A server, comprising: a memory and a processor; wherein:
the memory is configured to store executable instructions; and
the processor is configured to implement the method according to claim 1 when executing the executable instructions stored in the memory.

5. A system for generating billing information, comprising:
the server according to claim 4 , and a card machine in public transportation;
wherein the card machine in the public transportation is configured to write public transportation information to a terminal that performs a card swiping operation for getting on the public transportation, and delete stored public transportation information from a terminal that performs a card swiping operation for getting off the public transportation; and
wherein the card machine in the public transportation is also configured to upload information that the terminal performs the card swiping operation for getting on the public transportation and the card swiping operation for getting off the public transportation to the server, wherein an end billing request is sent by the terminal to the server, and the end billing request comprises location information of the terminal and public transportation information, the public transportation information is information in a current travel of the terminal;
and billing result information returned by the server is received and the billing information is generated according to the billing result information, and the billing result information comprises end billing information or a refusal end billing message, and the end billing information is sent to the terminal after it is determined that a distance between the terminal and the public transportation is greater than a distance threshold according to the location information of the terminal and the public transportation information and end billing operation is performed for the terminal by the server.

6. A computer-implemented method for generating billing information, comprising:
sending, by a terminal installed with an application (APP) configured to perform swiping interactive operations with a server, an end billing request to the server remote to a public transportation, wherein the end billing request comprises location information of the terminal and public transportation information, and the public transportation information is information in a current travel of the terminal; and
receiving billing result information returned by the server, and generating the billing information, wherein the billing result information comprises end billing information or a refusal end billing message, and the end billing information is sent to the terminal after it is determined that a distance between the terminal and a public transportation is greater than a distance threshold according to the location information of the terminal and the public transportation information and end billing operation is performed for the terminal by the server, and wherein the end billing operation comprises obtaining, by the server, location information of the public transportation according to the public transportation information, wherein the location information of the public transportation is obtained by the server interacting with a corresponding onboard card machine based on the public transportation information; determining, by the server, whether a distance between the terminal and the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold according to the location information of the terminal and the location information of the public transportation; and performing, by the server, the end billing operation for the first terminal from which the distance to the public transportation is greater than the distance threshold and generating the billing information, and
wherein after receiving the end billing information, the terminal is instructed by the end billing information to clear the public transportation information, and instructing the APP to access an NFC card bound to the terminal or an NFC module in the terminal, to deduct corresponding travel cost.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein, before the sending the end billing request to the server, the method further comprises:
performing a card swiping operation for getting on the public transportation, and storing the public transportation information; and
monitoring whether the terminal is not in the public transportation and does not perform the card swiping in real time through a triggering of the card swiping operation for getting on the public transportation.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the monitoring whether the terminal is n
