Description

Technical solution

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gift list printing technology, and in particular to a gift list printing terminal and its control method, which is suitable for occasions such as weddings, funerals, and business celebrations where gift information needs to be recorded. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional ceremonial occasions, the collection and recording of monetary gifts are typically done manually. Operators need to manually count the gifts, inquire about guest information, and handwrite records in a gift register. This method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Manual counting and recording are inefficient, resulting in long waiting times for guests;

[0004] 2. Manual recording is prone to errors, especially in amounts and names, where typos are common.

[0005] 3. The inconsistent format of the gift register makes subsequent data processing difficult;

[0006] 4. Lack of electronic storage makes data retrieval and statistics inconvenient.

[0007] Although cash registers and money counters are available on the market, they do not have a dedicated gift list function and cannot automatically link gift money data with guest information and print it onto the finished gift book. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a gift list printing terminal and its control method, which can realize the integration of automatic counting of gift money, automatic collection of guest information and automatic printing of gift lists, and significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of gift list processing.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A gift list printing terminal includes: a dual-screen display module, a keyboard mechanism, a banknote counting mechanism, an image acquisition mechanism, an optical character recognition module, a printing mechanism, an automatic page turning mechanism, and a main control module.

[0011] The dual-screen display module includes an outer screen facing guests and an inner screen facing operators; the keyboard mechanism adopts a standard 104-key keyboard layout; the cash counting mechanism is used to count the cash gifts; the image acquisition mechanism captures images of empty red envelopes or paper gift lists after the cash gifts are removed; the optical character recognition module is used to identify text information such as names and mobile phone numbers from the image information; the printing mechanism supports two gift list templates: horizontal multi-column format and vertical multi-column format; the automatic page turning mechanism is used to automatically turn the page when it detects that the current page of the finished gift book is full; and the main control module is used to coordinate and control the collaborative work of each mechanism.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. Integrates cash counting, image acquisition, and printing functions into one unit, significantly improving the efficiency of gift list processing;

[0014] 2. Supports direct printing of finished gift books, eliminating the need for pre-made printing paper and making it convenient to use;

[0015] 3. Supports multiple gift book formats (horizontal multi-column, vertical three-column) to accommodate different user habits;

[0016] 4. Automated control processes reduce human intervention and lower error rates;

[0017] 5. Data is stored electronically, facilitating subsequent retrieval and statistics. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gift order printing terminal adopts a horizontal cash register design, including an outer shell, a dual-screen display module, a keyboard mechanism, a banknote counting mechanism, an image acquisition mechanism, a printing mechanism, an automatic page turning mechanism, and a main control module.

[0028] The dual-screen display module consists of an outer screen (facing guests) and an inner screen (facing the operator). The outer screen displays thank-you messages, payment confirmation information, etc.; the inner screen displays the user interface, gift list preview, etc.

[0029] The keyboard uses a standard 104-key computer keyboard, supporting Chinese characters, English letters, numbers, and symbols for easy manual correction of guest information by operators.

[0030] Cash counting institutions such as Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a cash inlet roller, a counting sensor, a counterfeit detection module, and a cash outlet. Gift money is inserted through the cash inlet, conveyed by the cash inlet roller, the counting sensor identifies the number of bills and their denomination, the counterfeit detection module verifies authenticity, and finally, the money is output from the cash outlet.

[0031] Image acquisition agencies such as Figure 4 As shown, the system includes a high-definition camera and a supplementary lighting module. While the monetary gifts are being counted, the camera captures images of empty red envelopes or paper gift slips after the gifts have been removed, obtaining information such as the guests' names and phone numbers.

[0032] Printing mechanism such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes an XY positioning inkjet printing mechanism, a gift book positioning stage, a scanning camera, and an inkjet printhead. The scanning camera first identifies the blank printable areas on the finished gift book, and then the inkjet printhead accurately prints the name and amount at the corresponding positions.

[0033] Page turning mechanism such as Figure 7 As shown, the system includes a position sensor, a main control chip, a drive motor, a timing belt, a page-turning roller, and a page-turning actuator. When the position sensor detects that the current page is full, the main control chip instructs the drive motor to rotate, which in turn drives the page-turning roller via the timing belt. The page-turning actuator then automatically turns the finished gift book to the next page.

[0034] Control methods such as Figure 8 As shown, the process includes steps S1 to S9. The specific process is as follows: receiving the start command (S1) → detecting the insertion of gift money (S2) → counting the gift money by the counting unit (S3) → image acquisition unit acquiring the image (S4) → optical character recognition module recognizing the text (S5) → integrating the data and manually correcting it (S6) → controlling the printing unit to print in the blank space of the gift book (S7) → determining whether the current page is full, and if so, automatically turning the page (S8) → storing the gift list data and returning to the ready state (S9).

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
