Problems solved by technology

[0005] 2. The error code is not intuitive enough, which affects the efficiency of the financial POS terminal
POS terminals are mainly installed in merchants, and are operated and used by merchant cashiers. Under the premise that the current POS terminals are not very popular, it is necessary for cashiers to remember a large number of error message codes and the meaning of each message code. very unrealistic
Therefore, when the POS terminal has such and such error messages during the transaction process, the cashier can only notify and wait for professionals to deal with it. This not only increases the maintenance cost of the POS terminal, but also directly affects the use efficiency of the POS terminal.
[0007] 3. Frequent training increases the operating costs of banks and professional service organizations
[0008] The cashiers in the shopping mall not only have frequent internal and external exchanges, but also have a very strong internal and external communication. This has caused the newly trained cashiers to leave their posts for some reason, and the new cashiers from banks and specialized acquiring institutions have been recruited. Re-training is necessary. Sometimes the cashier refuses to use the bank card because the training is not timely, and sometimes the cashier does not dare to accept the bank card because the cashier has not mastered or mastered the use skills after a training
In order to reduce the number of trainings or avoid untimely trainings that affect cardholders’ use of cards, banks or professional acquiring institutions are generally equipped with operation manuals. However, due to the cumbersome and intuitional instructions in the manuals, cashiers stay away from them. Some manuals It was lost due to poor storage, and it was impossible to find it when it was really needed
Therefore, frequent training has become a heavy burden for banks and professional service organizations
[0009] 4. Repeated reminders to cardholders increase the workload of cashiers
[0011] If the above problems cannot be solved satisfactorily, it will not only increase the problems of cashier operation, bank maintenance, training and cardholder time cost, but more importantly, if this problem is not solved, it will directly affect the rapid development of the bank card industry.

Embodiment 1

[0056] The plug-in financial POS voice prompter of this embodiment is a device that is independent of the POS terminal, can operate independently, and completes this function by collecting relevant data of the POS terminal. In the communication with the POS terminal It can be wired or wireless.

[0057] The hardware of the plug-in financial POS voice prompter of the present embodiment consists of a power supply circuit, a communication interface circuit, a microcontroller circuit, a voice storage and playback circuit, an audio amplifier circuit and a loudspeaker, a repeat broadcast button, a prompt selection switch, a volume switch, etc. components.

[0058] The power circuit provides a stable power supply for the whole circuit, which can be composed of a switching regulator chip or a linear regulator chip and some peripheral devices (capacitors, inductors, etc.), and its input is a separate power adapter or obtained from a financial POS terminal. The stable voltage should be...

Embodiment 2

[0074] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the hardware of the plug-in financial POS voice prompter of this embodiment is more optimized, and the software is more concise.

[0075] The hardware of the plug-in financial POS voice prompter of this embodiment is composed of components such as a communication interface circuit, a microcontroller circuit, a voice storage and playback circuit, an audio amplifier circuit, and a loudspeaker. The hardware block diagram is shown in Figure 3.

[0076] The software of the plug-in financial POS voice prompter in this embodiment is composed of communication data reception, voice broadcast data recognition, voice chip control code generation, voice playback and other parts.

[0077] The first step is to check whether there is data on the communication port, and if so, receive the data packet from the financial POS terminal, and calculate whether the verification value is correct, and discard it if it is not cor...

Embodiment 3

[0081] The built-in financial POS voice prompter of this embodiment is a kind of prompter that embeds the device into each component of the POS terminal and can realize all functions.

[0082] The hardware of the built-in financial POS voice prompter of this embodiment is composed of financial POS terminal microcontroller circuit, voice storage and playback circuit, audio amplifier circuit and loudspeaker, financial POS terminal keyboard, volume switch and other components. The financial POS terminal keyboard is an existing circuit of the financial POS terminal, which can be used for repeat broadcasting and prompt selection functions, and can even control the volume.

[0083] The financial POS terminal microcontroller circuit is an existing circuit of the financial POS terminal, which controls the operation of the entire POS terminal software and hardware, and the voice broadcast program can be added on the basis of the original software.

[0084] The voice storage and playbac...

Abstract

A financial POS voice prompter includes two types of financial POS voice prompters, one type is build-in financial POS voice prompter embedding device separately into components of each POS terminal for realizing all functions of prompter, another type is externally-hung financial POS voice prompter setting devices independently at external of POS terminal to finalize functions of prompter by collecting relevant data of POS terminal. The voice prompting method of two types of said prompters is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a voice prompter, more specifically, the present invention relates to a financial POS voice prompter and a voice prompt method thereof. Background technique [0002] Financial POS (EFT-POS: Electronics Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale, electronic funds transfer point of sale terminal), as a financial transaction terminal, has been widely used in various industries. In 2002, after the People's Bank of China established a bank card cross-bank processing organization - China UnionPay Co., Ltd., the bank card industry showed a good momentum of prosperity, and the number of financial POS terminals deployed in the market and the amount of bank card transactions appeared rapid Continuous and substantial growth. In order to improve the quality of acquiring and reduce errors, all acquiring banks and professional service organizations have taken many optimization measures in background, communication, printing and other technolog...
