Detailed Implementation

[0099] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to enable those skilled in the art to readily implement them. Furthermore, for clarity, portions unrelated to the description of the exemplary embodiments have been omitted from the drawings.

[0100] In embodiments disclosed herein, it should be understood that terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to indicate the presence of features, numbers, steps, behaviors, components, portions or combinations thereof disclosed herein, and are not intended to exclude the possibility that one or more other features, numbers, steps, behaviors, components, portions or combinations thereof are present or added.

[0101] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0102] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that there are currently no point-of-sale (POS) devices that utilize StarFlash technology. Therefore, this disclosure applies StarFlash technology to POS devices. When a consumer's StarFlash-enabled electronic device, such as a mobile phone, is brought near the POS device, the POS checkout interface on the electronic device is automatically activated, and membership coupons are automatically verified, avoiding the need for scanning and verifying coupons, thus enabling a more efficient POS checkout process.

[0103] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for order payment using starlight technology according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0104] In step S101, the POS device obtains the user's membership information and the product information to be settled, and sends the membership information and the product information to the backend server;

[0105] In step S102, the backend server generates cashier information based on the member information and the product information, and pushes the cashier information to the corresponding member account;

[0106] In step S103, the cash register uses the star flash technology to scan the surrounding candidate star flash devices and determines the target device from the scanned candidate star flash devices;

[0107] In step S104, the POS device pushes a trigger message to the target device via StarFlash technology;

[0108] In step S105, after receiving the trigger message, the target device displays a reminder message;

[0109] In step S106, the target device responds to the user's click on the reminder message by opening the user's member interface;

[0110] In step S107, after the user's membership identity is authenticated, the target device displays the product settlement page on the member interface based on the cashier information received from the backend server.

[0111] In step S108, the target device responds to the user's corresponding operation on the product checkout page, completes the payment, and sends payment confirmation information to the backend server;

[0112] In step S109, after receiving the payment confirmation information, the backend server sends payment completion information to the cashier device;

[0113] In step S1010, after receiving the payment completion information, the cash register device confirms that the transaction is completed.

[0114] In this embodiment, the POS device acts as the StarScan host and can be configured to monitor the location information of StarScan devices (such as user mobile phones) that approach or enter the store in real time. When a StarScan device approaches the POS host, a message is automatically pushed to the user's mobile phone. After confirming the information through the StarScan device, the user enters the member interface, where the product checkout page is automatically displayed, allowing the user to make payment.

[0115] The StarFlash feature allows for messaging and calls to devices that are already connected without manual pairing. This can be understood as an "application-layer pairing," meaning that within range, messages can be pushed to the StarFlash devices of customers who have joined the membership. The POS system can scan nearby StarFlash devices in real time, selecting them as candidate devices and then choosing the target device from the candidate device of the customer currently checking out.

[0116] The StarScan devices have built-in positioning capabilities, allowing the POS system to acquire real-time location information from different StarScan devices and monitor devices within a localized area based on set location conditions. After the POS system pushes a trigger message to the target device, a notification pops up on the target device. Clicking this notification opens a member interface, which can be the member interface of the corresponding merchant's app or mini-program. After confirming the user's membership, the member interface displays the payment page, allowing the user to complete payment for the goods.

[0117] After a user completes payment on the target device, the backend server receives the payment information. Once the backend server confirms that the payment is correct, it sends a payment completion message to the POS device to notify the user that the payment has been completed. The status on the product checkout page on the POS device can then be updated to "Payment Completed," thus confirming that the product checkout is complete.

[0118] In this embodiment, the merchant uses the flashing function of the POS device to push payment reminder messages to the user's device, such as a mobile phone, thereby automatically popping up the member page on the target device. This allows the user to see the product settlement information on the member page and make the payment, which simplifies the product settlement process for members at the merchant and improves the user's payment experience.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the POS device uses star-flash technology to scan surrounding candidate star-flash devices and determines the target device from the scanned candidate star-flash devices, including:

[0120] The POS device uses star-flash technology to scan for candidate star-flash devices within a set range.

[0121] The POS device acquires the position information of the candidate star flash device during the scanning process, and determines the movement trajectory and speed of the candidate star flash device based on the position information;

[0122] The POS device also determines the intent of the candidate star flashing device based on the motion trajectory and motion speed;

[0123] When the candidate flashing device intends to approach the cash register in preparation for settlement, the candidate flashing device is identified as the target device.

[0124] In this optional implementation, the POS device can scan the surrounding flashing devices within a certain range in real time. The scanned flashing devices are used as candidate flashing devices. The POS device obtains the position information of the candidate flashing devices through the flashing function, and calculates the movement trajectory and speed of the candidate flashing devices based on a series of recorded continuous position information. The movement trajectory and speed can be obtained based on the changes in the relative distance and relative direction between the POS device and the flashing devices.

[0125] In some embodiments, the POS terminal can monitor the location information of the flashing device of a user within, for example, 100 meters, i.e., when approaching or entering the store, and perform corresponding interactive processing, such as message push. To prevent false pushes, this disclosure determines the user's intention based on the flashing device's movement speed and trajectory. If the flashing device approaches the POS terminal within a certain range, such as 1 meter, and moves at a speed less than a certain speed, such as 10 cm per second (equivalent to the flashing device remaining stationary), and remains stationary for more than a set time, such as 1 second, then a message push is initiated. This allows it to be determined that the consumer's flashing device is close to the POS terminal and remains stationary, indicating an intention to pay, before pushing settlement information, thus preventing false triggering.

[0126] In some optional embodiments, the backend server generates payment information based on the member information and the product information, including:

[0127] The backend server obtains the account information of the corresponding member based on the member information; the account information includes account discount information;

[0128] The payment information is generated based on the account information and the product information.

[0129] In this optional implementation, the backend server can determine the membership status of the user currently settling payment based on the membership information sent by the POS device. Membership information may include, for example, the member's ID. The backend server can also determine account information such as discount information in the member's account based on the membership status. Simultaneously, the backend server can generate payment information based on applicable coupons, points, recharge balances, and other account discount information for the goods to be settled. This payment information may include settlement fees generated based on the product number, price, quantity, and account discount information. In other embodiments, the payment information may also include optional account discount information.

[0130] In some optional implementations, the information displayed on the product checkout page includes settlement fees, account discount information, and payment options; the target device responds to the user's corresponding operation on the product checkout page to complete the payment, including:

[0131] In response to the user's selection or cancellation of the discount option, the target device updates the settlement fee based on the selected or cancelled account discount information;

[0132] In response to the user's action on the payment option, the payment is completed.

[0133] In this optional implementation, after the cashier information generated by the backend server is pushed to the user's member account, the member interface automatically displays the corresponding product settlement page after the user enters the member interface through the target device. The product settlement page can display the settlement fee, optional account discount information, and payment options. The user can pay directly according to the default account discount information selected by the backend, or manually change the account discount information (if it exists), such as selecting new account discount information or canceling the default selected account discount information, and then complete the payment.

[0134] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for order payment using starlight technology according to yet another embodiment of this disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0135] In step S201, the user's membership information and the information of the goods to be settled are obtained;

[0136] In step S202, based on the member information and the product information, cashier information is generated and pushed to the corresponding member account;

[0137] In step S203, the surrounding candidate star flash devices are scanned using star flash technology, and the target device is determined from the scanned candidate star flash devices;

[0138] In step S204, a trigger message is pushed to the target device using Star Flash technology, and a reminder message pops up on the target device;

[0139] In step S205, after the user clicks on the reminder message, the user's membership interface is displayed;

[0140] In step S206, the user's membership identity is verified, and after successful verification, the product settlement page is displayed on the member interface based on the cashier information received from the backend server.

[0141] In step S207, in response to the user's corresponding operation on the product checkout page, the payment is completed and a payment confirmation message is sent to the backend server.

[0142] In this embodiment, the POS device acts as the StarScan host and can be configured to monitor the location information of StarScan devices (such as user mobile phones) that approach or enter the store in real time. When a StarScan device approaches the POS host, a message is automatically pushed to the user's mobile phone. After confirming the information through the StarScan device, the user enters the member interface, where the product checkout page is automatically displayed, allowing the user to make payment.

[0143] The StarFlash feature allows for messaging and calls to devices that are already connected without manual pairing. This can be understood as an "application-layer pairing," meaning that within range, messages can be pushed to the StarFlash devices of customers who have joined the membership. The POS system can scan nearby StarFlash devices in real time, selecting them as candidate devices and then choosing the target device from the candidate device of the customer currently checking out.

[0144] The StarScan devices have built-in positioning capabilities, allowing the POS system to acquire real-time location information from different StarScan devices and monitor devices within a localized area based on set location conditions. After the POS system pushes a trigger message to the target device, a notification pops up on the target device. Clicking this notification opens a membership interface, which can be the membership interface of the corresponding app or mini-program. After confirming the user's membership, the payment page is displayed, allowing the user to complete payment for the goods.

[0145] After a user completes payment on the target device, the backend server receives the payment information. Once the backend server confirms that the payment is correct, it sends a payment completion message to the POS device to notify the user that the payment has been completed. The status on the product checkout page on the POS device can then be updated to "Payment Completed," thus confirming that the product checkout is complete.

[0146] In this embodiment, the merchant uses the flashing function of the POS device to push payment reminder messages to the user's device, such as a mobile phone, thereby automatically popping up a member page on the target device. This allows the user to see the product settlement information on the member page and make the payment, thus simplifying the product settlement process for members at the merchant and improving the user's payment experience.

[0147] In some optional embodiments, the process of scanning surrounding candidate star strobe devices using star strobe technology and determining the target device from among the scanned candidate star strobe devices includes:

[0148] The system uses star strobe technology to scan for candidate star strobe devices within a defined surrounding area.

[0149] During the scanning process, the position information of the candidate star stroboscopic device is acquired, and the motion trajectory and speed of the candidate star stroboscopic device are determined based on the position information;

[0150] The intent of the candidate starburst device is determined based on the motion trajectory and motion speed;

[0151] When the candidate flashing device intends to approach the cash register in preparation for settlement, the candidate flashing device is identified as the target device.

[0152] In this optional implementation, the POS device can scan the surrounding flashing devices within a certain range in real time. The scanned flashing devices are used as candidate flashing devices. The POS device obtains the location information of the candidate flashing devices through the flashing function, and calculates the movement trajectory and speed of the candidate flashing devices based on a series of recorded continuous location information. The trajectory and speed can be obtained based on the changes in the relative distance and relative direction between the POS device and the flashing devices.

[0153] In some embodiments, the POS terminal can monitor the location information of the flashing device of a user within, for example, 100 meters, i.e., when approaching or entering the store, and perform corresponding interactive processing, such as message push. To prevent false pushes, this disclosure determines the user's intention based on the flashing device's movement speed and trajectory. If the flashing device approaches the POS terminal within a certain range, such as 1 meter, and moves at a speed less than a certain speed, such as 10 cm per second (equivalent to the flashing device remaining stationary), and remains stationary for more than a set time, such as 1 second, then a message push is initiated. This allows it to be determined that the consumer's flashing device is close to the POS terminal and remains stationary, indicating an intention to pay, before pushing settlement information, thus preventing false triggering.

[0154] In some optional embodiments, based on the member information and the product information, POS information is generated, including:

[0155] Based on the member information, obtain the corresponding member's account information; the account information includes account discount information;

[0156] The payment information is generated based on the account information and the product information.

[0157] In this optional implementation, the backend server can determine the membership status of the user to be settled based on the membership information sent by the POS device. Membership information may include, for example, the member's ID. The backend server can also determine account information such as discounts in the member's account based on the membership status. Simultaneously, the backend server can generate payment information based on applicable coupons, points, and recharge balances for the goods to be settled. This payment information may include the settlement fee generated based on the product number, price, quantity, and account discount information. Of course, this payment information may also include optional account discount information.

[0158] In some optional implementations, the information displayed on the product checkout page includes settlement fees, account discount information, and payment options; the step of responding to the user's corresponding operation on the product checkout page and completing the payment includes:

[0159] In response to the user's selection or cancellation of the discount option, the settlement fee is updated based on the selected or cancelled account discount information;
