Patent number: 11954691Abstract: A payment two-dimensional code secure payment method and system without two-step authentication. The method comprises the following steps: by means of a payment application, producing a first payment two-dimensional code and a second payment two-dimensional code, and alternately displaying the first payment two-dimensional code and the second payment two-dimensional code; respectively identifying the first payment two-dimensional code and the second payment two-dimensional code to acquire complete payment information; sending the complete payment information to a payment centre for verification; when verification is successful, the payment is complete. The present method effectively avoids the property loss incurred by users due to scanning of payment two-dimensional code pictures, and increases payment security.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: CIENET TECHNOLOGIES (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventor: Linghong Chen
