Embodiment 1

[0079] Please refer to Figure 5 , Embodiment 1 of the present invention is:

[0080] A POS using safe password input to realize a safe payment process, including:

[0081] When designing the POS structure, several infrared distance sensors 3 are evenly placed on the periphery of the number key area on the keyboard. The specific position can be based on when the user's hand covers the password keyboard 2, the hand can just cover the infrared distance sensor 3 on the periphery of the number keypad. prevail.

[0082] When the user swipes the card, if it is recognized that the user does not cover the PIN pad 2, the LCD display interface of the POS machine will stay at the interface prompting the user to cover the keyboard, and the user cannot enter the password. 3. When the blocking signal is detected, the LCD display interface automatically jumps to the password input interface, and the user can start to enter the password.

[0083] If the user removes the hand covering the k...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for safely inputting passwords and a POS machine. The method comprises the steps that two or more infrared distance sensors are arranged on a password keyboard area of the POS machine; a sensing distance is preset; the POS machine is used for reading information of a magnetic card; the infrared distance sensors arranged on the password keyboard of the POS machine is triggered; if the infrared distance sensors receive sensing signals within the preset sensing distance, sensing information is sent to a control unit of the POS machine; the control unit of the POS machine judges whether the sensing information of all the infrared distance sensors is received or not, if yes, the POS machine switches to a password input interface, and if not, the POS machine switches to a prompt state. Accordingly, on one hand, it is guaranteed that a user shields the password keyboard in place before entering the password input interface, on the other hand, in the password data receiving process, shielding sensing and in-time prompting can also be conducted, it is guaranteed that the user inputs the passwords under the condition that the password keyboard is completely shielded, fund security of the user is effectively guaranteed, and the card use safety of the user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of POS machines, in particular to a method for safely inputting passwords and a POS machine. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of technology, hand-held mobile POS terminals have brought a lot of convenience to our bank card payment. However, in order to meet the requirements of portability and convenience, the external structure of the POS machine often does not have a password shielding frame. When password, if the other hand is not used to block the operator's hand, it is easy for people around to see the password, which will affect the user's card security. In view of this problem, the current POS machine mainly adopts two methods: 1. directly enter the password input interface without blocking reminder to the user; 2. directly enter the password input interface and simultaneously block the password reminder to the user. For the first approach, since most of the current users do not hav...
