In order to prevent the user from taking the identification information of the electronic receipt by the screen capture method, thereby generating the risk of repeated redemption, after the merchant reads the identification information of the electronic receipt by the reading device, the merchant computing device may first Transmitting a redemption request message to the servo system, and then the servo system requests the first and second computing devices that are presenting the identification information to reply to a verification message, and the servo system determines, according to the verification message, whether the first and second computing devices are The identification information is indeed being displayed, and if so, the servo system replies with a verification command to the merchant computing device. Thereby, if the first and second computing devices are not actually in the state of displaying the identification information (for example, instead of displaying the screen captured by the screenshot), the servo system will not issue a verification command to the merchant computing device, and Instead, a warning message such as "unsuccessful redemption" is issued to allow the merchant to determine whether the first and second users are redeemed by normal means.

In addition, please refer to Figures 4 and 8 at the same time, wherein the figure shown in Figure 8 is another redemption situation in which the merchant has an identification unit, such as a two-dimensional barcode, and the first and second computing devices The displayed electronic ticket user interface has a read function key "scanning and withdrawing", and the first and second users can click on the read function key to utilize a reading device of the first and second computing devices ( For example, the mobile phone lens reads the identification unit of the merchant, and then the servo system provides the merchandise/service information corresponding to the electronic receipt to the merchant computing device, so that the merchant can provide the merchandise/service according to the conditions described in the merchandise/service information. On the other hand, in the redemption process, the first and second computing devices return an electronic receipt exchange message to the servo system, indicating that the redemption has been completed. Then, the servo system updates the electronic receipts in all the first and second computing devices according to the electronic receipt exchange message, and loads the electronic receipts with a redemption information indicating the redemption status of the electronic receipts.

Please refer to FIG. 9, which is a user interface of the electronic receipt of the second embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the electronic receipt displays a pane for redemption information, which is used to indicate the redemption status of the electronic receipt, such as redemption, redemption, usage, or expiration date, but is not limited thereto. . After the electronic receipt is redeemed, the servo system updates the electronic receipts in the first and second computing devices, so that the electronic receipts are updated with redemption information, for example, the words "redeemable" displayed in the redemption information pane are updated to "redeemed". .

With the above design, the first user (sharer) can conveniently acquire and share the electronic receipt from the servo system to the second user (recipient), and the servo system allows the number of redemption of the electronic receipt to be limited, ensuring the rarity of the electronic receipt. Sexuality and uniqueness, in order to enhance the motivation and importance of the second user's use of the received electronic receipts, and once the electronic receipts are used, all electronic receipts will load or update the redemption information to avoid consumer disputes arising from repeated redemption.

In other possible implementation manners, when the servo system receives the redemption request message, it first determines the redemption status of the electronic receipt, and returns the determination result to the merchant computing device, and the merchant determines whether to provide the goods/services according to the determination result.

In other possible implementation manners, if the electronic receipt has been exchanged, the servo system does not allow the first and second computing devices to display the two-dimensional barcode or other identification information of the electronic receipt, so that the first and second users cannot display Identify information for product/service redemption. Therefore, when the merchant reads the electronic receipt identification information by using the reading device, it means that the electronic receipt has not been exchanged, so that the server does not need to request the servo system to provide or judge the redemption status of the electronic receipt, and the merchant computing device may not transmit the redemption request message. The servo system is required to provide the redemption status, and only the electronic bill redemption message is sent back to the servo system after the redemption is completed.

The method for sharing the electronic ticket may not be limited to the communication interface built in the servo system. For example, in other possible implementations, the servo system allows the consumer to share the electronic ticket to an external social networking service website, other websites, External community software or other user email address.
