Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart devices, and more particularly to a system for enabling communication between a portable tablet and a vertical self-service device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional standing self-service equipment (such as ATMs, self-service ticket machines, and government service terminals) is usually equipped with a fixed screen for users to operate, but in actual use, the following problems exist:
[0003] Inconvenient screen operation: The device screen height is fixed (e.g., more than 1.5 meters), requiring users to bend over or stand on tiptoe to operate; poor touch sensitivity (e.g., resistive screen or aging capacitive screen) leads to low operating efficiency;
[0004] Poor user experience: Users need to face the screen at close range to complete operations (such as entering passwords or selecting menus), and privacy is insufficient (such as being easily spied on by others when entering passwords);
[0005] Limited functionality: The device screen cannot flexibly display dynamic content (such as video tutorials and multilingual instructions), making it difficult to adapt to diverse user needs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a system for communication between a portable tablet and a vertical self-service device. It utilizes the high-definition touch advantage of the tablet to replace or assist the original screen operation of the device, solving the inconvenience caused by fixed screen height and insensitive touch, while improving interactive privacy and flexibility.
[0007] The technical solution of this invention is:
[0008] A system for enabling communication between a portable tablet and a vertical self-service device includes a user operation module and a business conversion module deployed on the tablet, and a function instruction conversion module and a hardware driver module deployed on the vertical self-service device. The modules work together to realize the virtualization of the self-service device's business process and instruction conversion.
[0009] in,
[0010] User operation module: Provides a virtual operation interface and supports gesture operation;
[0011] Business conversion module: Converts user operation commands on the tablet into intermediate business logic commands;
[0012] Encrypted communication module: Employs AES-256 symmetric encryption or RSA asymmetric encryption algorithms to transmit encrypted data via USB or Bluetooth link;
[0013] Function command conversion module: converts intermediate business logic commands into control commands that can be recognized by the vertical self-service equipment;
[0014] Hardware driver module: drives the underlying hardware of the vertical self-service device to perform specific functions; the execution results are then sent back to the tablet via the encrypted communication module.
[0015] Furthermore,
[0016] The user operation module supports dynamically synchronizing the interface layout and function buttons of the original screen of the self-service machine, generating a virtual touch interface that is consistent with the operation logic of the self-service machine, covering all business processes supported by the self-service machine.
[0017] The encrypted communication module supports communication via USB, Bluetooth, WIFI, and other links, and uses AES-256 or RSA algorithms to ensure the secure transmission of sensitive data such as ID card information and passwords.
[0018] Furthermore,
[0019] This invention can communicate via USB cable, Bluetooth, WIFI, etc., and includes the following steps to enable users to complete business processes by replacing the original screen of the standing self-service device with a tablet.
[0020] 1. Virtual Interface Synchronization: The user tablet requests the current process interface data from the vertical self-service device through the encrypted communication module. The vertical self-service device encrypts the interface configuration parameters and returns them to the tablet. The tablet dynamically generates a virtual operation interface that is consistent with the original screen of the vertical self-service device.
[0021] 2. User operation capture: When a user performs an operation on the tablet's virtual interface, the touch coordinates and action type are captured and transmitted to the business conversion module;
[0022] 3. Business Logic Conversion: The business conversion module converts touch actions into intermediate business logic instructions, and the encrypted communication module encrypts the instructions and sends them to the vertical self-service device via USB or Bluetooth;
[0023] 4. Equipment instruction execution: The function instruction conversion module of the vertical self-service equipment decrypts the instruction and converts it into a hardware control instruction. The hardware driver module executes the hardware operation and returns the result to the tablet in encryption.
[0024] 5. Result Feedback Display: The user operation module on the tablet receives the result data and dynamically updates and displays the next operation guide on the virtual interface, allowing users to complete subsequent operations through the tablet.
[0025] Furthermore,
[0026] In step 1), the request content includes the initial interface configuration of the current process. After receiving the request, the function instruction conversion module of the self-service device retrieves the initial interface parameters from the locally stored interface configuration database and returns the parameter data packet to the tablet through the encrypted communication module.
[0027] The business conversion module on the tablet parses the received parameter data packets, dynamically generates a virtual operation interface that is completely identical to the original screen of the standing self-service equipment, and renders and displays it on the tablet screen in real time.
[0028] The business conversion module adds user identification and timestamp to the intermediate business logic instructions; the encrypted communication module encrypts the intermediate instructions to generate encrypted data packets, and then sends the encrypted data packets to the vertical self-service equipment.
[0029] After receiving encrypted data packets, the encrypted communication module of the vertical self-service equipment decrypts and verifies the data integrity.
[0030] The function instruction conversion module encapsulates the execution result into a feedback instruction, which is then encrypted by the encrypted communication module and returned to the tablet via the original link.
[0031] Results feedback display: The encrypted communication module on the tablet decrypts the received feedback instructions, and the business conversion module extracts key information; the user operation module dynamically updates the virtual interface based on the feedback results, and the user completes subsequent operations according to the guidance.
[0032] The user operation module supports dynamic synchronization of the interface layout and function buttons of the original screen of the self-service equipment, covering all business processes supported by the self-service equipment. Attached Figure Description
[0033] Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the working structure of the present invention;
[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the workflow of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] This invention proposes a system for communication between a portable tablet and a vertical self-service device. Its overall structure includes a user operation module, a service conversion module, an encrypted communication module, a function instruction conversion module, and a hardware driver module. For example... Figure 1As shown.
[0037] 1. User operation module (tablet): Provides a virtualized operation interface (such as touch buttons, sliding menus, numeric keypad), for example, replicating all the function buttons and display content of the original screen of the self-service equipment (such as "Select Card Type", "Enter Information", "Identity Verification" buttons), and supports gesture operation (such as two-finger zoom, long press to confirm).
[0038] 2. Business Conversion Module (Tablet / Standalone Self-Service Device Collaboration): Converts user operation commands on the tablet virtual interface into intermediate business logic commands (e.g., "Click the 'Select Card Type' button → Generate Card Type Selection Request").
[0039] 3. Encrypted communication module (tablet end + vertical self-service device end): adopts AES-256 symmetric encryption or RSA asymmetric encryption algorithm, and transmits encrypted data through USB or Bluetooth link;
[0040] 4. Function command conversion module (vertical self-service device end): Converts intermediate business logic commands into control commands that the vertical self-service device can recognize (such as "card type selection request → send serial port command 0x1A").
[0041] 5. Hardware driver module (standing self-service device end): drives the underlying hardware of the standing self-service device (such as card reader, camera, receipt printer) to perform specific functions; the execution results are then sent back to the tablet through the encrypted communication module.
[0042] The working steps of each part of the present invention are as follows: Figure 2 As shown:
[0043] 1. Virtual Interface Synchronization: The user launches the tablet app and sends an interface parameter request command (encrypted format) to the self-service vertical device. The request includes the initial interface configuration for the current process (such as the button layout, icon ID, and text prompts for the "Select Card Type" interface). After receiving the request, the function command conversion module of the self-service vertical device retrieves the initial interface parameters (such as button coordinates and icon resolution adaptation parameters) from the locally stored interface configuration database and returns the parameter data packet to the tablet via the encrypted communication module (AES-256 encryption). The business conversion module on the tablet parses the received parameter data packet, dynamically generates a virtual operation interface (including button position, size, color, and interaction logic) that is completely identical to the original screen of the self-service vertical device, and renders and displays it on the tablet screen in real time.
[0044] 2. User Operation Capture: The user operation module monitors user actions (such as clicking, swiping, and long-pressing) on the virtual interface in real time via the tablet's touchscreen, and records data such as operation type (single / double click), touch coordinates, and operation duration. The business conversion module maps touch behaviors to corresponding business logic instructions (such as "click coordinates (150, 200)" → "select social security card type"), and generates operation logs (for anomaly tracing).
[0045] 3. Business Logic Conversion: The business conversion module encapsulates user operation instructions into standardized intermediate business logic instructions (such as "SELECT_CARD_TYPE:SOCIAL_SECURITY"), and attaches a user identification identifier (such as a temporary session ID) and a timestamp. The encrypted communication module uses the AES-256 algorithm to encrypt the intermediate instructions, generating encrypted data packets, which are then sent to the vertical self-service device via USB or Bluetooth link.
[0046] 4. Device Command Execution: After receiving encrypted data packets, the encrypted communication module of the self-service vertical device decrypts and verifies data integrity. The function command conversion module converts intermediate business logic commands into control commands recognizable by the self-service vertical device hardware (e.g., “SELECT_CARD_TYPE:SOCIAL_SECURITY” → “Send serial port command 0x1A”). The hardware driver module drives the corresponding hardware according to the control commands. The function command conversion module encapsulates the execution result into a feedback command (e.g., “RESULT:SUCCESS:CARD_TYPE=SOCIAL_SECURITY”), which is encrypted by the encrypted communication module and returned to the tablet via the original link.
[0047] 5. Result Feedback Display: The encrypted communication module on the tablet decrypts the received feedback instructions, and the service conversion module extracts key information (such as "Card type selection successful"). The user operation module dynamically updates the virtual interface based on the feedback results. The user completes subsequent operations according to the instructions (such as taking a picture of their ID card or entering their mobile phone number).
[0048] Repeat steps 2 through 5 on the tablet until the entire card issuance process is completed (e.g., after successfully issuing the card, the message "Please take your social security card" will be displayed).
[0049] This embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium, including:
[0050] The storage medium is used to store computer software instructions used to implement the communication method between the portable tablet and the standing self-service device described in Embodiment 1. It includes a program for executing the communication method between the portable tablet and the standing self-service device. Specifically, the executable program can be built into the communication system between the portable tablet and the standing self-service device described in Embodiment 2. In this way, the communication system between the portable tablet and the standing self-service device can implement the communication method between the portable tablet and the standing self-service device described in Embodiment 1 by executing the built-in executable program.
[0051] Furthermore, the computer-readable storage medium in this embodiment can be any combination of one or more readable storage media, wherein the readable storage medium includes an electrical, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, or device, or any combination thereof.
[0052] Unlike existing technologies, the communication method between a portable tablet and a vertical self-service device implemented in this application allows for adaptive expansion of the device's interface during user transactions without affecting the normal operation of the device, while also exhibiting a certain level of intelligence. This system provides effective technical support for this method, offering exceptional convenience and applicability. This solution particularly addresses the pain points of traditional vertical self-service devices, such as fixed screen height, insensitive touch controls, and insufficient privacy, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies. It can be widely applied in scenarios such as bank branches, hospital lobbies, and telecommunications service halls, demonstrating significant market value and application prospects.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
