Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bank card payment acceptance terminals, in particular to a novel intelligent payment acceptance terminal comprising a physical password keyboard. Background Art

[0002] A bank card payment acceptance terminal is an electronic device equipped with a bank card reader / writer, screen, numeric / password keyboard, printer and other functions, and has the ability to connect to the network. The bank card acceptance terminal is connected to the clearing and settlement system of the bank card transaction platform through its network communication capability. Its main function is to provide non-cash settlement services for commodity transactions.

[0003] After more than 20 years of development in the field of bank card payment, bank card payment acceptance terminals have undergone several generations of updates and iterations. Their functions have become increasingly complete, their forms have basically solidified, and they can well meet the needs of bank card acceptance.

[0004] Payment terminals are gradually developing towards intelligence and high-end. High-end smart payment terminals are not only equipped with bank card readers and writers, but also equipped with larger screens of 5 inches and above, which can be operated and bank card passwords can be entered on the screen. They also include printers and barcode scanners such as cameras, and are equipped with faster 4G and / or 5G wireless communication capabilities. For example, the smart POS machine disclosed in the patented smart payment card reader terminal (P1000) of the applicant (application number 2021304160458).

[0005] In recent years, smart terminals have gradually developed towards large screens. For example, Chinese patent: CN201520420454.4, a new type of smart POS machine, including a housing, a display unit, a printing unit, and an information reading unit, the housing is arched, and has a front end, a rear end, a first area on the front side between the front end and the rear end, and a second area on the rear side, the printing unit is arranged at the front end, and the information reading unit includes a magnetic card reading unit and a contact IC card reading unit, and the magnetic card reading unit and the contact IC card reading unit are both arranged at the connection between the first area and the second area. The printer of the utility model smart POS machine is arranged at the front end of the device, and the display screen and the card slot are arranged above the printer, which can effectively prevent printer paper scraps from falling into the card slot and the display screen. However, the market has a strong demand for physical password keyboards. For example, visually impaired users cannot complete password confirmation on the display screen. Due to the long-standing industry prejudice: the physical password keyboard must be on the same plane as the screen, such as Chinese patents CN202221995084.3 and CN202330301195.3, the screen size has to be reduced to 5 inches because space needs to be reserved for the physical password keyboard on the same plane. For example, the smart POS machine disclosed in Chinese patent CN202230558830.1 reduces the screen size to 4 inches.

[0006] Therefore, the existence of the above technical bias has hindered the development trend of large-screen smart payment terminals. How to overcome the above technical bias and bring better experience to users is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
