  • Patent number: 10867325
    Abstract: A mobile group-purchase system and implementing method thereof is provided, in which the system is formed by a group-purchase server and at least one mobile communication device. User can send a group-purchase invitation by a mobile communication device to a plurality of designated mobile communication devices and create an original buying group so that each member of the group can order commodity offered by the group. Moreover, any member of the original buying group can also create an extended sub-group, so that the creator can get more favorable purchase price. When group-purchase activity is completed, the group-purchase server further calculated out a spread profit which is then feedback to the creator of the extended sub-group, so as to encourage the member of the buying group to use the mobile group-purchase system.

  • Patent number: 10511968
    Abstract: The invention discloses a user verification system and its implementing method. When a mobile device connects to a registration module of the user verification device to execute registration procedure, the unregistered identification code of mobile device will be sent to the user verification device. Then, a comparison module will search and verify the unregistered identification code in the user database. If there is no matching identification codes, the registration procedure would be completed, on the contrary, a verification module will send the verification massage to mobile devices that have the same identification code. Someone who responses the verification message would proceed to execute registration and login procedures. Therefore, the invention could prevent users from being annoyed with the complex verification procedure and reduce the cost of sending verification messages.
