[0002] With the popularization of various IC cards such as access cards, membership cards, and meal cards, the response time of card swipe often becomes the focus of disputes between users and managers, and between managers and system developers. Devices that measure the response time of card swipe independently of the original application system will become an effective means to resolve these disputes.

[0003] Currently, there is no independent device on the market that can measure the response time of card swiping. Generally, the system's built-in software is used to measure the time interval between card swiping instructions. Such measurement generally has several problems: 1. It only measures the response time of the chip, and does not include the antenna card search time, external electromagnetic environment influence, card swiping distance and other software-independent times. 2. Since the measurement process is not completely independent of the original system, the measurement results are often not recognized by customers. Summary of the invention

[0048] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0049] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0051] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a card swipe response time detection method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the steps include:

[0052] S100 determines that the device is in a blocking state when no detection light signal is received, and converts the blocking state into a blocking level signal.

[0053] Specifically, the detection light signal may be a light signal emitted by the transmitting end of the through-beam sensor. If the receiving end of the through-beam sensor does not receive the detection light signal, the through-beam sensor determines that it is in a shielding state and converts the shielding state into a shielding level signal.

[0054] For example, when the IC card is brought close to the antenna of the card swiping system, while the card swiping system senses the IC card, the IC card also blocks the light signal emitted by the transmitting end of the corresponding sensor. At this time, the receiving end cannot receive the light signal, and the state of not receiving the signal is converted into a level signal and sent to the MCU.

[0055] S200 starts timing based on the shielding level signal to detect the card swiping response time.

[0056] In actual scenarios, the detection light signal may include light signals such as visible light, infrared light, etc. This detection light signal serves as a flag signal for starting detection.

[0057] S300: When receiving the read / write completion optical signal emitted by the light emitting device of the card swiping system when the card swiping is normal, convert the read / write completion optical signal into a stop timing level signal.

[0058] Specifically, after the external card swiping system finishes reading and writing the IC card, it notifies the user by lighting up the light emitting diode. This device receives the signal of IC card reading and writing completion through the corresponding monochromatic light filter and photosensitive device, and converts this signal into a level signal to stop timing and send it to the MCU.

[0059] S400 stops timing based on the timing stop level signal and displays the timing result.

[0060] Through the above steps, the tester can conveniently measure the time of the whole process from the beginning of card swiping to the complete completion of card swiping through the timing time displayed by the device.

[0061] The present invention determines the time of starting and ending card swiping through two groups of photoelectric signals, thereby achieving a measurement process independent of the original system.

[0062] In this embodiment, the present invention can effectively measure the time of the entire process from the start of card swiping to the end of card swiping, including not only the antenna card search time and card reading and writing time, but also various dynamic times such as the influence of the external electromagnetic environment and the card swiping distance.

[0063] The dynamic time here refers to the time when there is external electromagnetic interference or insufficient card swiping distance, etc. This part of time is also included in the detection time of this method, and this part of time will not be displayed and measured separately. This is conducive to detection in the actual production environment, and the detection data conforms to the actual production environment.

[0064] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a card swiping response time detection method, wherein the timing is started based on the shielding level signal in step S200 to detect the card swiping response time, comprising the steps of:

[0065] When the timing is started, the card-seeking time of the card-swiping antenna of the card-swiping system is detected based on the card-swiping sensing signal of the card-swiping system.

[0066] The card-searching time is the difference in reception time between the shielding level signal and the card-swiping sensing signal.

[0067] In one embodiment, the timing is started based on the shielding level signal to detect the card swiping response time, comprising the steps of:

[0068] When the timing is started, the reading and writing time of the card swiping antenna of the card swiping system is detected based on the card swiping sensing signal of the card swiping system.

[0069] The read / write time is the difference between the reception time of the card swiping sensing signal and the reception time of the stop timing level signal.

[0070] In this embodiment, the present invention can effectively measure the time from the start of card swiping to the end of the whole process. When there is no electromagnetic interference or card swiping distance and other factors, the antenna card search time and the card reading and writing time can be detected separately.

[0071] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a card swiping response time detection method, wherein, when receiving the read / write completion optical signal emitted by the light emitting device of the card swiping system when the card swiping is normal, before converting the read / write completion optical signal into a stop timing level signal, it also includes the steps of:

[0072] Select a monochromatic filter with the same color as the light emitting device.

[0073] The monochromatic filter is used to filter out interfering light other than the light signal of the light emitting device completing reading and writing.

[0074] In this embodiment, the light other than the light emitted by the light emitting device is filtered out by a monochromatic filter to avoid interference from other messy light, making the entire detection more accurate and efficient.

[0075] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the same parts as the above embodiment will not be repeated one by one in this embodiment. The present invention provides a card swipe response time detection device, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0076] The main control chip 100 is connected to the through-beam sensor 200 and the photosensitive device 300 respectively.

[0077] The transmitting end 201 and the receiving end 202 of the through-beam sensor 200 are respectively installed on the two sides of the card swiping antenna in the card swiping system.

[0078] The transmitting end 201 of the through-beam sensor is used to transmit a detection light signal.

[0079] The receiving end 202 of the through-beam sensor is used to determine that it is in a shielding state when the detection light signal cannot be received, and convert the shielding state into a shielding level signal and send it to the main control chip 100 .

[0080] The main control chip 100 is used to start timing upon receiving the shielding level signal to detect the card swiping response time.

[0081] Specifically, the main control chip may include an MCU, and the through-beam sensor may be a through-beam photoelectric sensor that emits optical signals such as visible light, infrared light, and laser.

[0082] Specifically, the detection light signal may be a light signal emitted by the transmitting end of the through-beam sensor. If the receiving end of the through-beam sensor does not receive the detection light signal, the through-beam sensor determines that it is in a shielding state and converts the shielding state into a shielding level signal.

[0083] For example, when the IC card is brought close to the antenna of the card swiping system, while the card swiping system senses the IC card, the IC card also blocks the light signal emitted by the transmitting end of the corresponding sensor. At this time, the receiving end cannot receive the light signal, and the state of not receiving the signal is converted into a level signal and sent to the MCU.

[0084] The photosensor 300 is aimed at the light emitting device of the card swiping system, and is used to receive the read / write completion optical signal emitted by the light emitting device when the card swiping is normal, convert the read / write completion optical signal into a stop timing level signal and send it to the main control chip 100.

[0085] The main control chip 100 is used to receive the timing stop level signal to stop timing and output the timing result.

[0086] Specifically, after the external card swiping system finishes reading and writing the IC card, it notifies the user by lighting up the light emitting diode. This device receives the signal of IC card reading and writing completion through the corresponding monochromatic light filter and photosensitive device, and converts this signal into a level signal to stop timing and send it to the MCU.

[0087] Through the above steps, the tester can conveniently measure the time of the whole process from the beginning of card swiping to the complete completion of card swiping through the timing time displayed by the device.

[0088] The present invention determines the time of starting and ending card swiping through two groups of photoelectric signals, thereby achieving a measurement process independent of the original system.

[0089] In one embodiment, it also includes: a transmitting end of the through-beam sensor, which is used to transmit a detection light signal to a receiving end of the through-beam sensor when the power is turned on; when the card is swiped, the light signal is blocked so that the receiving end of the through-beam sensor is determined to be in a blocked state.

[0090] In one embodiment, it also includes: a monochrome filter, which is arranged between the photosensor and the light-emitting device of the card swiping system, and is used to filter out interfering light other than the read-write completion optical signal of the light-emitting device.

[0091] In one embodiment: the photosensitive device comprises a photosensitive device with preset parameters.

[0092] Wherein, when the photosensitive device receives the read / write completion optical signal, the voltage of the photosensitive device changes within a preset level range.

[0093] In one embodiment: the main control chip includes an MCU, and the MCU is connected to the photosensitive device through a standard GPIO pin, and is used to determine the reception of the stop timing level signal when the voltage of the photosensitive device changes within a preset level range.

[0094] In some embodiments, it also includes: a display connected to the main control chip, used to receive the timing result and display it.

[0095] Based on the above embodiment, the parts in this embodiment that are the same as those in the above embodiment will not be described one by one. The present invention provides a card swiping response time detection device, including:

[0096] Figure 3 The blue part in the figure is the device, which consists of four parts: the through-beam sensor, the photosensitive device, the MCU and the display component. The transmitting end and the receiving end of the through-beam sensor are respectively installed on both sides of the card swiping antenna of the card swiping system, so that the signal emitted by the through-beam sensor can be blocked when the card is swiped. The photosensitive device is aligned with the light-emitting diode controlled by the card swiping system when the card is swiped normally, so that when the light-emitting diode is lit, its light can cause the photosensitive device in the device to operate. The test process includes the following steps:

[0097] Initial state: After the device is powered on, the through-beam sensor starts working. The transmitting end of the through-beam sensor transmits optical signals such as visible light and infrared light to the receiving end of the through-beam sensor. The receiving end converts the received optical signal into a level signal and sends it to the MCU.

[0098] S1. Place the IC card close to the antenna of the card swiping system. When the card swiping system senses the card, the IC card will also block the light signal emitted by the transmitting end of the sensor. At this time, the receiving end cannot receive the light signal, and the state of not receiving the signal is converted into a level signal and sent to the MCU.

[0099] S1.1. During the actual test, properly adjust the distance between the transmitter and receiver of the through-beam sensor so that the distance can just accommodate an IC card, thereby reducing the impact of occlusion by other objects.

[0100] S1.2. This device is not installed for long-term use, but is tested once. Therefore, in a single test, it is entirely possible to prevent other objects from blocking it manually.

[0101] S2. After receiving the blocking signal, the MCU immediately starts the timing function.

[0102] S3, after the external card swiping system finishes reading and writing the IC card, it notifies the user by lighting up the light-emitting diode. This device receives the signal of IC card reading and writing completion through the corresponding monochromatic light filter and photosensitive device, and converts this signal into a level signal to stop timing and sends it to the MCU.

[0103] S3.1. In order to reduce the influence of the environment and other interfering light on the measurement, this device adopts a replaceable monochromatic light filter. In actual measurement, a monochromatic light filter with the same color as the LED of the card swiping system is selected, so that only the light emitted by the LED of the card swiping system can pass through.

[0104] S3.2. The light passing through the monochromatic filter is irradiated onto the photosensitive device (which may be a photoresistor, photodiode, phototransistor, etc., which can change the voltage on it by light). Due to the irradiation of light, the photosensitive device will change its conductivity, thereby changing the voltage across the device.

[0105] S3.3. By selecting a photosensitive device with appropriate parameters, the voltage across the device changes between two levels, greater than or equal to 2V and less than or equal to 0.1V, depending on whether it is exposed to light or not.

[0106] S3.4, MCU reads the signal through the standard GPIO pin. When it finds that the signal on the corresponding GPIO pin changes, it considers that it has received the level signal to stop timing.

[0107] S4. After receiving the level signal for stopping timing, MCU stops the timing function immediately and displays the timing result through the display part.

[0108] Through the above steps, the tester can conveniently measure the time of the whole process from the beginning of card swiping to the complete completion of card swiping through the timing time displayed by the device.

[0109] The measurement logic of this device is simple, so a very cheap MCU can be used to realize time measurement and calculation. The other three components of this device, the radiation sensor, the photosensitive device and the display component, are very common components on the market, and their cost is also very low. In addition, the connection of the entire device is also very simple, so the entire device has the advantages of simple manufacturing and low cost.

[0110] The present invention can effectively measure the time of the whole process from the beginning of card swiping to the end of card swiping. It not only includes the antenna card search time and card reading and writing time, but also includes various dynamic times such as the external electromagnetic environment influence and card swiping distance. The whole card swiping and testing process can be completely independent of the original system, and is intuitive and reliable. At the same time, its measurement results can be easily recognized by various customers.
