[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0055] Next, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the countertop device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0056] In traditional office scenarios such as banks and business halls, the countertop device includes an independent employee screen and a customer screen. Although this dual-screen system can improve the business processing efficiency, it requires two sets of display devices 110 and supporting hardware, and the wiring layout is more complex, resulting in an increase in equipment costs and a lower space utilization rate.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides a counter device. By sharing a rotatable display device 110, it can display information or interact with employees and customers on both sides of the counter, reducing equipment costs without affecting business processing efficiency. At the same time, the circuit layout of this counter device is simple, occupies a smaller counter area, does not interfere with normal use, and has a high space utilization rate.

[0058] As Figure 1 shown, the counter device includes: a display device 110, a base 120, a driving device 130, and a control device 140.

[0059] One side of the display device 110 has a display interface.

[0060] It can be understood that the display device 110 is an electronic device that converts electrical signals into visible information, and the display device 110 can present contents such as text, images, or videos through optical means.

[0061] In actual implementation, the display device 110 can be a display screen with a touch function.

[0062] The display interface can include a display area and a control area. The display area can be used to present contents such as text, images, or videos. For example, in the application scenario of a bank counter, the display area can display the personal information and photos of customers, or play example operation videos, etc.;

[0063] The control area can include at least one operation control, and the operation control can be used for human-computer interaction with users.

[0064] For example, in the application scenario of a bank counter, the control area can include numeric keys for inputting amounts, passwords, or account numbers; it can also include business selection keys for selecting the services that customers need to handle; it can also include a progress bar for displaying the transaction processing status, etc.

[0065] Of course, the control area can also include other types or functions of controls, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0066] In this embodiment, one side of the display device 110 is provided with a display interface, and the other side can be provided with a heat dissipation backplane or other functional units without a display interface.

[0067] In actual implementation, the orientation of the display interface can be changed by rotating the display device 110 for users in different positions.

[0068] This counter device further includes a base 120. The display device 110 is installed on the base 120 and the display device 110 can rotate around a first axis. The base 120 has opposite first and second sides, and the base 120 further defines a receiving space.

[0069] The base 120 is connected to the display device 110 and is used to support the display device 110 . The material of the base 120 may include but is not limited to steel, aluminum, and plastic. The specific material is determined according to actual usage.

[0070] It is understood that the base 120 has two opposite sides, ie, a first side and a second side.

[0071] For example, in a bank counter application scenario, the counter device can be set on the counter, located between the bank teller and the customer, and the first side of the base 120 is the bank employee side, and the second side is the customer side.

[0072] In actual implementation, when the orientation of the display interface is to be changed, the display device 110 may be rotated, for example, the display device 110 may be rotated from the first side to the second side, or from the second side to the first side.

[0073] In this embodiment, the display device 110 can rotate around a first axis, which is the rotation axis 125 of the display device 110 . During the rotation of the display device 110 , the spatial position of the first axis remains stable.

[0074] The base 120 further defines a receiving space. The base 120 may be a hollow structure having a receiving space for receiving the driving device 130 and the control device 140 of the countertop device.

[0075] The driving device 130 and the control device 140 are located in the accommodating space. The control device 140 is electrically connected to the driving device 130. The driving device 130 is transmission-connected to the display device 110. The control device 140 is used to control the driving device 130 to drive the display device 110 to rotate around the first axis so that the display interface faces the first side or the second side.

[0076] The driving device 130 may be used to provide power to drive the display device 110 to rotate around the first axis;

[0077] The control device 140 can be used to receive user input and control the start and stop and driving direction of the driving device 130 based on the user input, so that the display device 110 rotates from the first side to the second side, or from the second side to the first side.

[0078] The following describes a specific embodiment using a bank counter as an application scenario.

[0079] A certain counter device is set between bank tellers and customers. After a bank teller finishes processing a business using the display device 110 of the counter device and needs to display information to the customer, at this time, the display device 110 faces the employee side (i.e., the first side). Then, the bank teller can input an instruction to the control device 140 of the counter device. Based on this input, the control device 140 controls the driving device 130 to drive the display device 110 to rotate around the first axis, from the employee side to the customer side (i.e., the second side). At this time, the display interface of the display device 110 faces the customer, and the customer can perform information verification.

[0080] After completing the information verification, if the bank teller needs to use the display device 110 to process the next business, an instruction can be input to the control device 140 of the counter device again. The display device 110 rotates back from the customer side to the employee side around the first axis. At this time, the display interface of the display device 110 faces the teller, and the teller can continue to process the business.

[0081] In the related art, a dual-screen system can be set up to simultaneously meet the usage requirements of employees and customers for the display device 110, that is, an independent employee screen and customer screen are respectively set for employees and customers. Although this dual-screen system can improve the business processing efficiency, it requires two sets of display devices 110 and supporting hardware, resulting in an increase in equipment costs. At the same time, the wiring layout of the dual-screen system is more complex, requires more counter areas, may interfere with normal use, and has a low space utilization rate.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the control device 140 in the counter device can control the driving device 130 based on user input. The driving device 130 drives the display device 110 to rotate to the first side or the second side to change the orientation of the display interface of the display device 110, so that the display interface faces the employee or the customer. This counter device can share a rotatable display device 110 to display information or interact with employees and customers on both sides of the counter, reducing equipment costs without affecting the business processing efficiency. At the same time, this counter device has only one display device 110, with a simple wiring layout, a smaller occupied counter area, no interference with normal use, and a high space utilization rate.

[0083] According to the counter device provided by the embodiments of the present application, the driving device 130 can drive the display device 110 to rotate automatically, and the control device 140 controls the rotation direction, thereby changing the orientation of the display interface of the display device 110, so that the display interface faces the employee or the customer. This counter device can share a rotatable display device 110 to display information or interact with employees and customers on both sides of the counter, reducing equipment costs without affecting the business processing efficiency. At the same time, this counter device has only one display device 110, with a simple wiring layout, a smaller occupied counter area, no interference with normal use, and a high space utilization rate.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the base 120 includes a base body 122 and a bracket 121 disposed on the base body 122, and the display device 110 is mounted on the bracket 121;

[0085] The bracket 121 has two relatively arranged mounting seats 123, and the opposite ends of the display device 110 are respectively mounted on the two mounting seats 123;

[0086] Wherein, the transmission member 124 of the driving device 130 is disposed in one of the two mounting seats 123 and is in transmission connection with the display device 110.

[0087] The base body 122 is a three-dimensional frame that can be stably placed on the countertop, and is used to provide overall stability and load-bearing function for the countertop device.

[0088] In actual implementation, the material of the base body 122 can be metal, plastic or composite material with sufficient strength. In addition, a counterweight can be arranged in the base body 122 to lower the center of gravity of the base 120 and make the base 120 more stable.

[0089] The bracket 121 is a supporting member connecting the base body 122 and the display device 110, and is used to fix the position and height of the display device 110. The bracket 121 is connected to the opposite ends of the display device 110 through the two mounting seats 123.

[0090] The transmission member 124 can be a gear rod, a lead screw or a metal rod with a keyway, etc., which are components that can transmit torque. As Figure 3 shown, the transmission member 124 is disposed in one of the mounting seats 123 of the bracket 121, and is in transmission connection with the driving device 130 and the display device 110, and is used to transmit the torque provided by the driving device 130 to the display device 110, so that the display device 110 can rotate.

[0091] It can be understood that transmission members 124 such as gear rods, lead screws or metal rods with keyways can rotate around their own central axes, transmit torque, drive the display device 110 to rotate around the first axis, and the central axis of the transmission member 124 is the first axis of the display device 110.

[0092] The rotating shaft 125 can be a cylindrical metal rod extending into the mounting hole 126. As Figure 4 shown, the rotating shaft 125 is disposed in the other mounting seat 123 of the bracket 121, and is used to provide support and stability during the rotation of the display device 110.

[0093] The through hole 127 can be a circular hole with a diameter slightly larger than that of the rotating shaft 125 for accommodating the rotating shaft 125. The central axes of the mounting hole 126, the rotating shaft 125, and the transmission component 124 are coaxially aligned to make the rotation of the display device 110 more stable.

[0094] It can be understood that the bracket 121 is provided with two mounting seats 123 in total, which are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the display device 110. As Figure 2 shown, taking the front view of the display device 110 as an example, the two mounting seats 123 are respectively connected to the left side and the right side of the display device 110.

[0095] In addition, bearing structures can be provided between the rotating shaft 125 and the mounting hole 126, and between the base 120 and the through hole 127 to reduce the resistance of the rotation of the display device 110 and increase the transmission accuracy.

[0096] In this embodiment, the base body 122 can be a hollow structure that defines an accommodation space for accommodating the driving device 130, the control device 140, other functional units, and cables.

[0097] For the transmission connection between the display device 110 and the driving device 130, it can be achieved through the transmission of the synchronous belt 134 and the synchronous pulley.

[0098] In this embodiment, the base body 122 can provide overall stability and accommodate the driving device 130, the control device 140, other functional units, and cables. The bracket 121 can fix the position and height of the display device 110 through the mounting seats 123. The transmission component 124 provided on the mounting seats 123 can transmit the torque of the driving device 130 to the display device 110 to realize the rotation of the display device 110.

[0099] In some embodiments, the other one of the two mounting seats 123 is provided with a through hole 127, and the cable of the display device 110 passes through the through hole 127.

[0100] It can be understood that the power supply and information transmission of the display device 110 are both realized through cables, such as power lines, HDMI cables, USB data transmission cables, etc.

[0101] In this embodiment, the cable in the base body 122 can be passed through the through hole 127 and connected to the display device 110 to realize the normal use of the display device 110.

[0102] In addition, a hollow rotating shaft 125 can also be adopted, and the cable passes through the hollow rotating shaft 125 and is connected to the display device 110. This design can make the connection point of the cable located on the first axis, reduce the disturbance of the rotation of the display device 110 to the cable, and reduce the probability of abnormalities (disconnection, entanglement, etc.) of the cable of the display device 110.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the driving device 130 includes: a driving motor 131, a first synchronous pulley 132, and a second synchronous pulley 133.

[0104] The driving motor 131 is connected to the control device 140; the first synchronous pulley 132 is in transmission connection with the driving motor 131; the second synchronous pulley 133 is in transmission connection with the first synchronous pulley 132 through a synchronous belt 134, and the second synchronous pulley 133 is in transmission connection with the display device 110.

[0105] Among them, the driving motor 131 is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, used to output torque and provide power for the rotation of the display device 110.

[0106] The synchronous pulley and the synchronous belt 134 are paired components in the driving device 130. The synchronous belt 134 is embedded in the tooth groove of the synchronous pulley and transmits power through meshing friction.

[0107] The synchronous pulley can be a pulley with a specific tooth profile. Its tooth groove matches the teeth of the synchronous belt 134. The material can be metal or engineering plastic, and the tooth profile can be an arc tooth or a trapezoidal tooth, etc.

[0108] The synchronous belt 134 can be an annular belt with corresponding tooth profiles distributed on the inner side. Using tooth meshing can reduce slipping and achieve a constant transmission ratio.

[0109] In this embodiment, the synchronous pulley is divided into a first synchronous pulley 132, that is, the driving synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous pulley 133, that is, the driven synchronous pulley.

[0110] It can be understood that the first synchronous pulley 132 is in transmission connection with the power source, that is, the driving motor 131, and is used to transmit the power input by the driving motor 131 to the synchronous belt 134 through tooth profile meshing. The rotation speed and direction of the first synchronous pulley 132 are determined by the driving motor 131, and it is the starting point of the transmission system.

[0111] The second synchronous pulley 133 is in transmission connection with the transmission component 124, and further in transmission connection with the display device 110. It is driven by the first synchronous pulley 132 through the synchronous belt 134 and has no independent power input. Its tooth profile parameters are the same as those of the first synchronous pulley 132.

[0112] In actual implementation, the number of the second synchronous pulleys 133 can be single. For the solution in the driving device 130 with 1 second synchronous pulley 133 and 1 first synchronous pulley 132, the first synchronous pulley 132 and the second synchronous pulley 133 can form a linear transmission.

[0113] The number of the second synchronous pulleys 133 can also be multiple, for example, 2. For the solution in which the driving device 130 is provided with 2 second synchronous pulleys 133 and 1 first synchronous pulley 132, the 3 synchronous pulleys can form a triangular drive. One of the second synchronous pulleys 133 is in transmission connection with the transmission component 124, and the other second synchronous pulley 133 is not in transmission connection with the transmission component 124 and is only used for transmitting torque.

[0114] For the solution with a single second synchronous pulley 133, it occupies a small space and is convenient for installation and debugging; for the solution with multiple second synchronous pulleys 133, there are multiple second synchronous pulleys 133 sharing the load, which is not easy to slip and is suitable for high-torque transmission.

[0115] It can be understood that the above two solutions have different characteristics and application scenarios, but both can be set in the countertop device of the embodiment of the present application, and the specific selection solution is determined according to the actual situation.

[0116] In this embodiment, by setting the synchronous pulley and the synchronous belt 134, the transmission connection between the driving motor 131 and the display device 110 can be realized, and the torque output by the driving motor 131 is transmitted to the display device 110 to drive the display device 110 to rotate.

[0117] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the driving device 130 further includes: a limit block 136 and two limit sensors 135 that are oppositely arranged and located in the accommodation space.

[0118] The limit block 136 is arranged on the synchronous belt 134; when the limit block 136 triggers one of the two limit sensors 135, the display interface faces the first side, and when the limit block 136 triggers the other of the two limit sensors 135, the display interface faces the second side.

[0119] Among them, the limit block 136 is arranged on the synchronous belt 134 and can move with the synchronous belt 134. The position of the limit block 136 can reflect the formation of the synchronous belt 134. By limiting the position of the limit block 136, the stroke range of the synchronous belt 134 can be limited.

[0120] It should be noted that the installation position of the limit sensor 135 is set according to the moving range of the limit block 136 on the synchronous belt 134, so that the limit block 136 can be detected by the limit sensor 135 during the process of moving with the synchronous belt 134.

[0121] It can be understood that the display device 110 is controlled to stop when rotating to a specific angle for use by employees or customers.

[0122] In this embodiment, an angle control scheme for the display device 110 to stop at a specific angle is implemented through the position configuration of two limit sensors 135. The specific configuration scheme of the limit sensors 135 is as follows:

[0123] When the display device 110 rotates to the first side, i.e., the employee side, and is at an angle suitable for the staff to view and use the display device 110, i.e., the target angle on the employee side, a limit sensor 135 is configured at the position where the limit block 136 is located at this time;

[0124] When the display device 110 rotates to the second side, i.e., the customer side, and is at an angle suitable for the customer to view and use the display device 110, i.e., the target angle on the customer side, another limit sensor 135 is configured at the position where the limit block 136 is located at this time.

[0125] It can be understood that the target angle on the employee side and the target angle on the customer side can be the same or different, and the specific values are determined according to the actual usage situation.

[0126] In some embodiments, the control device 140 is electrically connected to the two limit sensors 135, and the control device 140 is further configured to control the driving motor 131 to stop in response to any one of the two limit sensors 135 being triggered by the limit block 136.

[0127] In this embodiment, in response to any limit sensor 135 being triggered by the limiter, the control device 140 controls the driving motor 131 to stop, and thus the angle control of the display device 110 can be achieved.

[0128] Next, taking the actual usage scenario of the counter equipment as an example, the implementation process of the angle control is introduced.

[0129] The display device 110 currently faces the employee side. The employee inputs an instruction to control the display device 110 to rotate towards the customer side. At this time, the driving motor 131 starts, driving the first synchronous pulley 132, the synchronous belt 134, the second synchronous pulley 133 and the display device 110 to move. The limit block 136 on the synchronous belt 134 also moves accordingly. When the display device 110 rotates to the customer side and is at the target angle on the customer side, the limit block 136 just moves to the position of the limit sensor 135 and triggers the limit sensor 135. In response to the limit sensor 135 being triggered, the driving motor 131 stops, fixing the display device 110 at the target angle on the customer side for the customer to view and use.

[0130] After the customer finishes watching and using, the instruction is input again to control the display device 110 to rotate towards the employee side. At this time, the driving motor 131 is started, and the limit block 136 on the synchronous belt 134 starts to move. When the display device 110 rotates to the employee side and is at the target angle on the employee side, the limit block 136 just moves to the position of another limit sensor 135 and triggers the limit sensor 135. In response to the triggering of the limit sensor 135, the driving motor 131 stops, so that the display device 110 is fixed at the target angle on the employee side for the employee to watch and use.

[0131] In this embodiment, through the position configuration of the limit block 136 and the two limit sensors 135, when the limit sensor 135 is triggered by the limit block 136, the driving motor 131 is controlled to stop, realizing the angle control of the display device 110. The display device 110 can be controlled to stop when rotating to a specific angle for the employee or customer to use. The structure is simple and the positioning is accurate.

[0132] In some embodiments, the display device 110 is configured to receive user input, and the control device 140, in response to the user input, controls the orientation of the display interface to rotate from the first side to the second side, or controls the orientation of the display interface to rotate from the second side to the first side.

[0133] Wherein, the user input can be manifested in at least one of the following ways:

[0134] First, the user input can be manifested as touch input, including but not limited to click input, swipe input, press input, etc.

[0135] In this embodiment, the display device 110 can be a device with a touch-sensitive surface. When the display device 110 receives user input, it can be manifested as receiving a touch operation of the user on the display interface of the display device 110.

[0136] In order to reduce the user's misoperation rate, the area of action of the user input can be limited to a specific area, such as the lower right area of the display interface; or a control for starting rotation is displayed on the display interface, and touching the control for starting rotation can realize the user input.

[0137] Second, the user input can be manifested as physical button input.

[0138] In this embodiment, a physical button corresponding to starting rotation is provided on the body of the display device 110. When receiving user input, it can be manifested as receiving the user input of pressing the corresponding physical button; the user input can also be a combined operation of pressing multiple physical buttons simultaneously.

[0139] Third, the user input can be manifested as voice input.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the display device 110 receives a voice such as "rotate", it can control the rotation of the display device 110.

[0141] Of course, in other embodiments, the user input can also be in other forms, including but not limited to character input, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0142] After the display device 110 receives the user input, the control device 140 can, in response to the user input, control the orientation of the display interface to rotate from the first side to the second side, or control the orientation of the display interface to rotate from the second side to the first side.

[0143] In this embodiment, by receiving the user input and controlling the orientation of the display interface based on the user input, the orientation of the display interface can be quickly switched after the user input, and the steps are simple and fast.

[0144] In some embodiments, when the display interface faces the first side, the control device 140, in response to the first input, controls the display interface to rotate from the first side to the second side along the first rotation direction;

[0145] When the display interface faces the second side, the control device 140, in response to the second input, controls the display interface to rotate from the second side to the first side along the second rotation direction;

[0146] Among them, the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.

[0147] It can be understood that as Figure 7 shown, the first rotation direction R1 is the direction along which the display device 110 rotates from the first side A1 to the second side A2, and the second rotation direction R2 is the direction along which the display device 110 rotates from the second side A2 to the first side A1.

[0148] When the display interface faces the first side and the first input is received, the control device 140 controls the display interface to rotate along the first rotation direction.

[0149] Among them, the first input can be in at least one of the following ways:

[0150] First, the first input can be in the form of a touch input, including but not limited to click input, swipe input, and press input, etc.

[0151] In this embodiment, receiving the first input can be, when the display device 110 is on the first side, that is, on the employee side, receiving the touch operation of the employee on the display interface of the display device 110.

[0152] To reduce the rate of incorrect operations, the action area of the first input can be limited to a specific area, such as the lower right area of the display interface; or controls for initiating rotation, such as "Employee Confirm Rotation" or "Rotate towards the Customer Side", are displayed on the display interface, and touching the control for initiating rotation can achieve the first input.

[0153] Second, the first input can be in the form of a physical button input.

[0154] In this embodiment, a physical button corresponding to initiating rotation is provided on the body of the display device 110, and receiving the first input can be manifested as receiving the first input of an employee pressing the corresponding physical button; the first input can also be a combined operation of pressing multiple physical buttons simultaneously.

[0155] Third, the first input can be in the form of a voice input.

[0156] In this embodiment, when the display device 110 receives a voice such as "Rotate towards the Customer Side", it controls the rotation of the display device 110.

[0157] Of course, in other embodiments, the first input can also be in other forms, including but not limited to character input, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0158] When the display interface faces the second side and the second input is received, the control device 140 controls the display interface to rotate along the second rotation direction.

[0159] Among them, the second input can be manifested in at least one of the following ways:

[0160] First, the second input can be in the form of a touch input, including but not limited to click input, swipe input, and press input, etc.

[0161] In this embodiment, receiving the second input can be manifested as receiving a touch operation of a customer on the display interface of the display device 110 when the display device 110 is on the second side, that is, the customer side.

[0162] To reduce the rate of incorrect operations, the action area of the second input can be limited to a specific area, such as the lower right area of the display interface; or controls for initiating rotation, such as "Customer Confirm Rotation" or "Rotate towards the Employee Side", are displayed on the display interface, and touching the control for initiating rotation can achieve the second input.

[0163] Second, the second input can be in the form of a physical button input.

[0164] In this embodiment, a physical button corresponding to the start rotation is provided on the body of the display device 110 to receive a second input, which can be manifested as receiving the second input of the customer pressing the corresponding physical button; the second input can also be a combined operation of pressing multiple physical buttons simultaneously.

[0165] Thirdly, the second input can be manifested as a voice input.

[0166] In this embodiment, when the display device 110 receives a voice such as "rotate towards the employee side", it can control the rotation of the display device 110.

[0167] Of course, in other embodiments, the second input can also be manifested in other forms, including but not limited to character input, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0168] In this embodiment, the user input is divided into a first input and a second input. In response to the employee input, the display interface can be turned to the customer for displaying information or providing interaction. In response to the customer input, the display interface can be turned to the employee for handling business. Based on the orientation of the display interface of the display device 110 and the type of user input, the rotation of the display device 110 can be performed according to actual needs, improving the application flexibility of the counter equipment.

[0169] In some embodiments, the display device 110 further includes:

[0170] An attitude sensor 111, which is used to detect the attitude information of the display device 110. The attitude sensor 111 is electrically connected to the control device 140, and the control device 140 is used to adjust the display interface based on the attitude information.

[0171] Among them, the attitude sensor 111 is used to detect the attitude information of the display device 110, that is, the position information and attitude information of the display device 110 in space. The type of the attitude sensor 111 can include but not be limited to an inertial measurement unit, a gyroscope, etc.

[0172] It can be understood that according to the rotation mode of the display device 110 in this counter equipment, the display interface on one side is in an inverted state.

[0173] For example, if the display device 110 is located on the employee side and the display interface is in a normal state at this time, when the display device 110 rotates to the customer side, the display interface will be inverted, affecting the customer's viewing, and vice versa.

[0174] In this embodiment, the display device 110 is provided with an attitude sensor 111 for detecting the attitude information of the display device 110.

[0175] Such as Figure 8As shown, the control device 140 may be provided with a central processing unit 141, which is electrically connected to the first micro control unit 137 and the second micro control unit 112 and is used for controlling the countertop device. Among them, the first micro control unit 137 is electrically connected to the drive motor 131 and is used for controlling the start / stop and rotation direction of the drive motor 131, and is also electrically connected to the limit sensor 135 and is used for angle control of the display device 110.

[0176] The second micro control unit 112 is electrically connected to the display device 110 and the pose sensor 111, and can receive the pose information detected by the pose sensor 111. The control device 140 determines whether the current display interface is in a normal state or an inverted state based on the pose information. If the display interface is in an inverted state, the display interface is flipped for normal viewing and use by the user.

[0177] In this embodiment, by providing the pose sensor 111 in the display device 110, the detection and adjustment of the pose of the display interface of the display device 110 can be realized, enabling both employees and customers to view and use the display device 110 normally.

[0178] In some embodiments, the base 120 further includes: a human-machine interaction unit 128 and an expansion unit 129.

[0179] The human-machine interaction unit 128 is arranged on the second side and is used for interacting with the user and outputting the interaction result; the expansion unit 129 is arranged on the first side and is used for providing an expansion interface.

[0180] In actual implementation, the base 120 has opposite first and second sides, that is, the employee side and the customer side, and other functional units can be set on both sides of the base 120 according to actual needs.

[0181] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the human-machine interaction unit 128 can be set on the part of the base 120 facing the second side for interacting with the user, that is, the customer, and outputting the interaction result.

[0182] Taking a bank scenario as an example.

[0183] The human-machine interaction unit 128 arranged on the second side includes but is not limited to functional units for human-machine interaction in bank scenarios such as a face camera, a card reader, contactless card identification, a signature pen, and a folding brush.

[0184] Among them, the face camera can be used to identify the face features of customers to complete operations such as login, verification, or payment; the card reader can be used to read magnetic stripe or chip information by physically inserting a card to complete relevant transactions; the contactless card identification can be used to perform induction identification with the card without inserting the card to complete relevant transactions; the signature pen can be used for customers to sign and confirm relevant documents or agreements displayed on the display interface; the passbook brush can be used to identify the user's passbook, supplement the transaction records of the passbook, and confirm that the transaction information on the passbook is synchronized with the bank system data.

[0185] Through the human-computer interaction interface unit, employees and customers can conveniently perform business operations and information exchanges.

[0186] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, an expansion unit 129 can be provided on a part of the base 120 facing the first side, which is used to provide an expansion interface to add other functional units to the counter equipment.

[0187] For example, a password keyboard unit, a high-speed camera unit, a cash unit, a bill unit, a printing unit, etc., and this embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0188] In this embodiment, the human-computer interaction interface unit and other functional units expanded by the expansion unit 129 increase the functionality of the counter equipment, and employees and customers can conveniently perform business operations and information exchanges through various functional units.

[0189] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for a counter equipment. This method is applied to the above-mentioned counter equipment, and the execution subject of this method can be the control device 140 of the counter equipment.

[0190] As Figure 11 shown, this method includes step 1110 and step 1120.

[0191] Step 1110: Obtain business progress information.

[0192] Among them, the business progress information refers to the information such as the business processing status and business process nodes that are recorded and fed back in real time by the counter equipment when employees and customers are handling business.

[0193] For example, the business processing stage (data review, system entry, cash counting, etc.), waiting duration, and estimated completion time, etc.

[0194] In this step, the business progress information can be obtained at a fixed frequency, or can be obtained when each business node is completed and started, for real-time monitoring of the business progress during business handling.

[0195] In actual implementation, the business progress information can be obtained through the control device 140 in the counter equipment, or through the acquisition unit provided in the display device 110, the human-computer interaction unit 128 or other components of the counter equipment.

[0196] Step 1120: Based on the business progress information, control the counter equipment to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0197] In this step, the counter equipment has two states, namely the locked state and the unlocked state. By controlling the activation and deactivation of certain components or some components in the counter equipment, the counter equipment can be controlled to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0198] It should be noted that the display device 110 has a display interface, and the display interface can include a display area and a control area. The display area can be used to present contents such as texts, images or videos, and the control area can include at least one operation control, and the operation control can be used for human-computer interaction with users.

[0199] The base 120 is provided with a human-computer interaction unit 128 for interacting with users and outputting interaction results. For example, in a bank scenario, the human-computer interaction unit 128 includes, but is not limited to, function units such as a face camera, a card reader, contactless card recognition, a signature pen and a folding brush.

[0200] In some embodiments, the counter equipment includes a display device 110 and a base 120, and the base 120 includes a human-computer interaction unit 128. Based on the business progress information, controlling the counter equipment to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state includes: based on the business progress information, controlling at least one of the display device 110 and the human-computer interaction unit 128 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, or from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0201] It can be understood that the business progress information can reflect the processes and nodes where the current business is located. Based on the business progress information, the executor (customer or employee) of the next operation, the execution content (such as customer signature, customer card swiping, employee information entry or employee verification, etc.), and the execution unit (signature pen, contactless card recognition, keyboard or display device 110, etc.) can be determined.

[0202] In this embodiment, after determining the executor, execution content, execution unit and other relevant information of the next operation based on the business progress information, at least one of the display device 110 and the human-computer interaction unit 128 in the counter equipment can be controlled to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, or from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0203] Next, taking a bank scenario as an example, a specific embodiment will be introduced.

[0204] During the process of handling a large-amount transfer business for a certain customer, the detected business progress information is that the bank employee has completed the relevant operations for issuing the business form, and the next step requires the customer to fill in information and sign for confirmation.

[0205] Based on this information, in the human-computer interaction unit 128, the contactless card recognition, face camera, and signature pen can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the customer can perform business processes such as swiping the card, face recognition verification, information filling, and signature confirmation.

[0206] After the customer completes the confirmation, the detected business progress information at this time is that the bank card recognition and reading are passed, the customer's face liveness comparison is correct, and the signature confirmation is completed.

[0207] Based on this information, in the control area of the display device 110, the flip button can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state to activate the flip function. The customer can click this button to flip the display device 110 back to the employee side for the employee to use the counter equipment to perform relevant operations for the next process; or, in the human-computer interaction unit 128, the physical rotation button can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state to activate the flip function. The customer can press this rotation button to flip the display device 110 back to the employee side.

[0208] Based on this information, in the display area of the display device 110, the information content filled in by the customer can be switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, and this information content cannot be changed during the subsequent business handling.

[0209] In this embodiment, according to the progress of business handling and the current process, the rotation function of the display device 110 or other functions involved in the next step can be unlocked, and other functions or units that will not be used remain in the locked state to reduce the probability of misoperation. The information, signature, etc. in the display interface can also be locked so that they will not be modified during the subsequent business handling, improving information security.

[0210] The control method of the counter equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the counter equipment. The counter equipment displays information or conducts human-computer interaction towards both sides through a rotatable display device 110. According to the service progress information of the service processed by the counter equipment, the locked state and the unlocked state are switched when displaying information or interacting on different sides. In the unlocked state, it can receive the service operations of specified users, and in the locked state, it can protect the information from being tampered with, which can effectively improve the service processing efficiency and security.
