Patent number: 9811655Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to a method and system for managing user accounts. The method includes receiving a registration request from a current user, wherein the registration request comprises a login name main part, determining, in a database, whether a conflicting old user exists, wherein a conflicting old user corresponds to another user that has a conflicting login name main part that is the same as the login name main part received in connection with the registration request, in the event that a conflicting old user exists, executing a login password differentiation process that requires a user to register a different login password that is different from a login password associated with the conflicting old user, and storing the different login password to the database in connection with a registration of the current user.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Jianbo Qian, Xingjun Ni, Feng Yu

Publication number: 20140095381Abstract: The disclosed online transaction method and system uses payment platform acting as an intermediary agent between the merchant and the shipping company to handle the payment. While the payment platform receives payment from the shipping company, the merchant receives payment from the payment platform. The method and system do not require buyers to use the payment method provided by an intermediary transaction platform to make a payment. Instead, the buyer may pay directly to the shipping company. Unlike conventional transaction method based on COD, however, the disclosed online transaction method and system centrally manage a logistics platform or multiple logistics operations run by logistics companies. The merchant does not receive the payment from the logistics company, but rather receive the payment from a centralized payment platform to ensure secure and fast payment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Xiaoming Hu, Shi Yu ZHU, Liang Zhang, Feng Yu, Xiaoning Qi, Xingjun Ni, Jun Li DU

Patent number: 8316373Abstract: Concurrent processing of business transaction data uses a time slice-centered scheme to cope with the situation where multiple requests demand a same resource at the same time. The method divides the processing time into multiple time slices, allocates each request to a corresponding time slice, and iteratively processing requests according to their corresponding time slices. The method does not require the requests to be processed one by one, and therefore does not cause a situation where other requests have to wait until the current request has been completely processed. Moreover, if a certain time slice has been allocated multiple requests of a same type, the requests are collectively processed as if they were a single request to reduce the frequencies of resource locking and unlocking, as well as the waiting time in a queue for resource access.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Li Cheng, Xingjun Ni, Xu Zhao

Publication number: 20110125616Abstract: A method and a system use buffered bookkeeping to update an account timely for a user to see the account information without having to wait until the next accounting date. The method records request events to generate a buffer record of the request events for an account having high-volume concurrent transactions, and fetches and processes the buffer record periodically at predetermined time intervals or recursively for bookkeeping of the request events in the account without waiting for the next accounting date. The transaction funds in the account are made available for inquiries and become accessible after only a short period of time upon the occurrence of the transaction. The length of the delay is configurable according to the level of concurrent transactions of the account.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Xingjun Ni, Li Cheng, Xu Zhao
