Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of payment terminals, and particularly to a method and system for automatically downloading SN and keys of a payment terminal. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of a payment terminal, data information such as SN and keys usually needs to be downloaded to be used normally. A common method for downloading SN and keys during the production process of a payment terminal is to connect both a barcode scanner and the payment terminal to a computer via data cables. The SN barcode or QR code attached to the payment terminal device is scanned to the computer side through the barcode scanner, and then downloaded to the payment terminal through the computer-side tool. With such an operation method, every time after downloading one device and switching to another device, it is necessary to unplug the data cable and plug in another device again, which is rather troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0007] S2: Attach identification information to the slave terminal. When the slave terminal is powered on and determines that the SN and key information does not exist, it enters the download mode, or enters the download mode by triggering through a button, and continuously sends a card search instruction; wherein, the identification information includes a barcode or a QR code;

[0008] S3: The master terminal controls the conveyor belt to work through the conveyor control device, so that the slave terminal on the conveyor belt moves to the position corresponding to the scanning device, and the scanning device automatically scans the identification information on the slave terminal and transmits it to the master terminal;

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0049] A method for automatically downloading payment terminal data includes the following steps:

[0050] S1: Configure the master terminal to the NFC tag card emulation mode and electrically connect it to the conveyor belt control device, and set the slave terminal to the NFC card reader mode;

[0051] S2: Stick identification information on the slave terminal. When the slave terminal is powered on and determines that the SN and key information do not exist, it enters the download mode, or enters the download mode by triggering through a button, and continuously sends a card search instruction; wherein, the identification information includes a barcode or a two-dimensional code;

[0052] S3: The master terminal controls the conveyor belt to work through the conveyor belt control device, so that the slave terminal on the conveyor belt moves to the position corresponding to the scanning device, and the scanning device automatically scans the identification information on the slave terminal and transmits it to the master terminal;

[0057] The present invention provides a method for automatically downloading payment terminal data, a data downloading method that does not require inserting a data cable, that is, using the NFC short - distance transmission method. The master terminal is simulated as an NFC tag card, and the slave terminal uses the card reader mode. When the slave terminal approaches the master terminal, data transmission is achieved through NFC to realize information downloading, eliminating the trouble of plugging and unplugging the data cable. Currently, most payment devices are equipped with NFC functions, and most NFC chips not only support the card reader mode but also support the card emulation mode, so it does not increase costs.

[0074] S10: The processing is completed and the step ends; otherwise, return to step S06.

[0075] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, as Figure 3 shown, the processing steps of the master terminal are as follows:

[0076] S21: Initialize;

[0077] S22: If the SN and key information are detected, proceed to the next step; otherwise, repeat step S22;

[0086] As Figure 1 shown, an automated payment terminal data download system includes a computer terminal 1, a barcode scanning device 2 electrically connected to the computer terminal 1, a master terminal 3 electrically connected to the computer terminal 1, a conveyor belt control device 4 electrically connected to the master terminal 3, a conveyor belt 5 electrically connected to the conveyor belt control device 4, and a slave terminal 6.

[0087] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0088] 1. Find a payment terminal with NFC function (referred to as the slave terminal) and an automatic barcode scanning device (which can be a barcode scanner or a payment terminal with barcode scanning function), and connect them to the computer through data cables respectively. The slave terminal acts as a card reader to implement the card emulation function on the master terminal device, and the master terminal is connected to the conveyor belt control device.

[0089] 2. Add a function mode for downloading SN and keys through NFC on the payment terminal (slave terminal) that needs to download information. When the device boots, if the SN does not exist or a certain button is pressed, it enters this mode. In this mode, the slave terminal continuously sends card search instructions through NFC to detect whether there is a master terminal emulated card approaching.

[0090] 3. Place the automatic barcode scanning device and the master terminal beside or above the conveyor belt on the production line and adjust their positions and angles so that when the slave terminal is conveyed in front of the barcode scanning device, the barcode scanning device can quickly and accurately scan the content of the barcode or QR code. When the slave terminal is conveyed in front of the master terminal, the slave terminal can recognize the card emulated by the master terminal.

[0091] 4. During production, after the previous workstation has tested the basic functions of the slave terminal, attach a barcode or QR code at the corresponding position of the slave terminal, and let the slave terminal enter the mode of downloading SN information through NFC. Then place the slave terminal on the conveyor belt and adjust its angle.

[0092] 5. When the sub-terminal is transported close to the barcode scanning device, the SN code information pasted on the sub-terminal is scanned out and transmitted to the computer tool. If a key needs to be downloaded, the tool sends the SN to the background server to obtain the key information corresponding to the SN, and then transmits the SN and the key information to the mother terminal. The mother terminal converts the data information into text format and encapsulates the data in NDEF format as the card data of the simulated card. The mother terminal starts to enter the simulated card mode and listens for card search instructions.

[0093] 6. When the sub-terminal approaches the mother terminal through the conveyor belt, after receiving the card search instruction, the mother terminal makes a response. After receiving the response, the sub-terminal sends an instruction to further confirm whether the simulated card of the mother terminal is detected and activate the simulated card. After receiving the activation instruction, the mother terminal makes a response and issues an instruction to control the conveyor belt to stop running and wait for the information download to complete.

[0094] 7. After establishing a data link between the sub-terminal and the mother terminal, the sub-terminal sends a card reading instruction to the mother terminal. The mother terminal sends the data to be sent to the sub-terminal as response data to the sub-terminal. After receiving the data, the sub-terminal performs parsing and processing. The sub-terminal converts the data to be sent to the mother terminal into text, encapsulates it in NDEF format, and transmits it to the mother terminal through the card writing instruction. After receiving the card writing data, the mother terminal performs parsing and processing. After confirming that all information has been transmitted, the mother terminal exits the simulated card mode and issues an instruction to control the conveyor belt to continue running. After determining that all information has been received, the sub-terminal turns off the NFC and exits the download mode.

[0095] 8. By repeating the steps 4 to 7 of the above operations, the automatic download of information such as SN and keys is realized, saving the trouble of plugging and unplugging the data cable and reducing the labor cost.

[0096] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the scope of implementation of the present application. All other embodiments with the same or similar principles and basic structures as the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.
