Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of self-service terminals, and in particular to a method, system, device and medium for correcting card insertion in a self-service terminal. Background Art
[0002] In the modern medical service system, hospital self-service terminals are an important self-service device, widely used in various business scenarios such as registration, payment, and inquiry, aiming to improve hospital service efficiency and optimize patients' medical experience. These self-service terminals are usually designed with a card slot to read patients' medical insurance cards, medical cards, etc., so as to quickly complete identity authentication, fee settlement and other operations.
[0003] However, in actual use, although the self-service terminals are usually equipped with card insertion reminder functions, such as voice prompts, screen displays, etc., to guide patients to insert the card correctly, the actual effect is not satisfactory. Due to various reasons, such as patients' distracted attention, unfamiliarity with card insertion operations, and the card insertion port design is not intuitive enough, many people still insert the wrong card. This will not only cause the card to be swallowed or stuck by the self-service machine, affecting the normal process of patients and reducing service efficiency, but also bring unnecessary troubles and anxiety to patients, seriously affecting the user experience.
[0004] In addition, the problem of inserting the wrong card directly increases the maintenance cost of the self-service machine. On the one hand, the self-service machine needs to be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure its normal operation. When a card is swallowed or jammed, maintenance personnel need to rush to the scene in time to remove the card, inspect and repair the equipment, etc. This not only increases the workload of maintenance personnel, but may also cause the self-service machine to suspend service, affecting the normal use of other patients. On the other hand, frequent card insertion errors may also cause damage to the card insertion port and other parts of the self-service machine, which need to be replaced or repaired, further increasing maintenance costs.
[0005] Therefore, how to solve the problem of card insertion errors in hospital self-service terminals, improve service efficiency, optimize user experience, and reduce maintenance costs has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
