Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of self-service equipment technology, and specifically relates to a self-service terminal all-in-one machine. Background Technology

[0002] Self-service kiosks are widely used in public places such as hospitals, banks, high-speed rail stations, and government service halls, providing convenient self-service for the public by handling multiple functions such as registration and payment, business processing, ticket printing, and information inquiry. However, as the integrated functions of these kiosks become increasingly rich and the user interface becomes more complex, it presents significant challenges for the elderly, visually impaired individuals, and those unfamiliar with smart devices to operate them independently, often resulting in operational errors and process bottlenecks.

[0003] Currently, these locations typically require dedicated service personnel to provide guidance and assistance, which not only increases labor costs but also leads to insufficient staff during peak hours, resulting in excessively long waiting times and low service efficiency. Most existing self-service kiosks only offer passive screen interfaces, lacking proactive guidance and real-time assistance capabilities, and are unable to provide targeted step-by-step prompts and error corrections based on the user's actual operating status.

[0004] Furthermore, while some existing terminals have added auxiliary displays, these merely serve as extensions or mirrors of the main screen, remaining at the level of simple visual prompts. They lack physical, multimodal interactive feedback mechanisms and the ability to visually recognize operational errors and drive corresponding physical responses. This results in insufficient human-computer interaction friendliness and an inability to truly replace human guidance services. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent self-service terminal that can proactively guide, provide real-time recognition, and offer multimodal feedback to lower the operational threshold, reduce reliance on human intervention, and improve self-service efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems and shortcomings of the existing technologies, this invention provides a self-service terminal all-in-one machine. It constructs a retractable physical guidance mechanism through a side-mounted telescopic frame and a folding bracket. Combined with an intelligent guidance screen and visual recognition module on a human-shaped magnetic base, it forms an active guidance closed loop. Supplemented by a gravity-based self-aligning scanning platform, zoned indicator lights, and multimodal posture feedback, it achieves step-by-step guidance, real-time error correction, and physical feedback during the operation process. This aims to reduce the operational difficulty of the self-service terminal, decrease manual service input, and improve the versatility and service efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A self-service terminal all-in-one machine includes a terminal host, a side-mounted telescopic frame, a folding bracket, a human-shaped magnetic base, an intelligent guide screen, and a visual recognition module; The terminal host is equipped with a gravity self-aligning scanning stage in the card reading area, and guide lights are provided on the sides of various physical operation areas of the terminal host. The side-mounted telescopic frame is mounted on the side of the terminal host and can extend and retract forward and backward, protruding from the front of the terminal host. Its top is integrated with a storage platform. The folding bracket is mounted on the side-mounted telescopic frame, enabling folding storage and unfolding support; The human-shaped magnetic base is fixed to the end of the folding bracket and is used to magnetically fix the smart guide screen. The human-shaped magnetic base is equipped with indicator arms on both sides and indicator lights on the top. The visual recognition module is positioned facing the physical operation area of ​​the terminal host to identify the correctness of the user's operation steps in real time and generate feedback instructions. The intelligent guidance screen links the terminal host and the visual recognition module. It completes step-by-step intelligent guidance based on the screen guidance animation and guide lights, and drives the prompt arm and prompt lights to output corresponding operation correct and incorrect posture prompts based on feedback instructions.

[0007] Through the coordinated configuration of the terminal host, side-mounted telescopic rack, folding bracket, human-shaped magnetic base, intelligent guidance screen, and visual recognition module, an intelligent self-service system integrating active guidance, visual recognition, and multimodal feedback has been constructed. The gravity-driven self-aligning scanning table in the terminal host's card reading area automatically calibrates the document during placement, eliminating the need for manual adjustments by the user. This is especially beneficial for users unfamiliar with the terminal's operation, allowing them to quickly complete the card reading process. Indicator lights on the side of the physical operation area visually indicate the current operating position, guiding the user's attention to the correct area and reducing the sense of disorientation caused by overly complex interface layers. The side-mounted telescopic rack can extend forward and backward beyond the front of the terminal host, providing extended operating space when unfolded and not occupying additional public passageway space when folded, balancing functionality and space utilization. The folding bracket's folding and unfolding support functions allow the human-shaped magnetic base and intelligent guidance screen to extend in front of the user during use and retract when not in use, achieving flexible switching between device forms. The humanoid magnetic base magnetically secures the intelligent guidance screen, ensuring convenient assembly and reliable connection. The side indicator arms and top indicator light form a physical posture feedback channel, intuitively presenting correct and incorrect operation information through body movements and light changes, overcoming the limitations of single-screen prompts. The visual recognition module, facing the physical operation area, captures the user's operation in real time, identifying the correctness of each step and generating feedback instructions, enabling the guidance system to proactively perceive and respond instantly. The intelligent guidance screen, linked to the terminal host and visual recognition module, organically integrates screen guidance animations, indicator light prompts, indicator arm postures, and indicator light status, forming a step-by-step intelligent guidance closed loop combining visual and physical elements. This allows users to receive clear, timely, and multi-dimensional guidance and correction throughout the entire operation, significantly lowering the operational threshold of self-service terminals and effectively reducing reliance on manual guidance services.

[0008] Furthermore, a conical positioning groove is opened in the middle of the human-shaped magnetic base, and a magnetic power supply module is integrated inside the cavity of the conical positioning groove; a conical boss that matches the conical positioning groove is fixed on the back side of the intelligent guide screen.

[0009] The mating structure of the conical positioning groove and conical boss allows the humanoid magnetic base and the intelligent guide screen to automatically complete radial alignment during magnetic bonding, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment and significantly improving assembly efficiency and positioning accuracy. The magnetic power supply module integrated within the conical positioning groove combines magnetic fixation and power transmission functions. It ensures the stability of the connection between the intelligent guide screen and the humanoid magnetic base through magnetic force, while simultaneously establishing a power supply path, eliminating the need for additional power cables and connection steps, resulting in a simpler and more compact overall structure. The conical contact between the conical boss and the conical positioning groove increases the effective contact area, making magnetic adsorption more uniform and reliable. This allows the device to withstand the lateral forces and torsional torques generated during the intelligent guide screen's posture adjustment, preventing loosening or poor contact. Furthermore, the automatic centering characteristic of the conical mating ensures accurate alignment of the power supply contacts, reducing the risk of increased contact resistance or power interruption due to alignment deviations, and improving the stability and reliability of equipment operation.

[0010] Furthermore, an elastic buffer anti-detachment rope is installed between the human-shaped magnetic base and the side wall of the intelligent guide screen to form an anti-detachment limit constraint for the intelligent guide screen that has detached from the magnetic adsorption.

[0011] The addition of an elastic buffer anti-detachment rope provides redundant safety protection for the magnetic connection between the humanoid magnetic base and the smart guide screen. When the smart guide screen detaches from the magnetic attachment due to accidental collision, magnetic failure, or misoperation, the elastic buffer anti-detachment rope immediately tightens and restrains the screen, preventing it from falling directly to the ground and causing irreversible damage such as screen breakage or internal component damage. The anti-detachment rope uses an elastic buffer material that gradually absorbs impact energy during the fall of the smart guide screen after detachment, avoiding secondary damage to the shell or connection points caused by rigid pulling, while also reducing the instantaneous impact load on the humanoid magnetic base. This anti-detachment rope does not affect the user experience under normal magnetic attachment conditions; it only functions in the extreme case of magnetic detachment. It is a passive safety protection design that significantly improves the safety and durability of the equipment without increasing operational complexity.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the terminal host is fixed with a side wall protective compartment, and the side-mounted telescopic frame, folding bracket, human-shaped magnetic base and intelligent guide screen can all be retracted into the side wall protective compartment; The inner wall of the side-wall protective cabin is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection module, and a roll-up blackout curtain is installed at the front opening of the side-wall protective cabin.

[0013] The side-wall protective cabin provides integrated storage space for the side-mounted telescopic frame, folding bracket, human-shaped magnetic base, and intelligent guide screen. When not in use, all these components can be retracted into the cabin, preventing exposed parts from accidental collisions, dust accumulation, and human-caused damage, while maintaining the overall cleanliness and integrity of the terminal host. The ultraviolet disinfection module installed on the inner wall of the side-wall protective cabin can disinfect frequently touched areas such as the intelligent guide screen, human-shaped magnetic base, and folding bracket with ultraviolet light after the guide mechanism is retracted into the cabin, effectively killing bacteria and viruses attached to the surface and reducing the risk of cross-infection in public places. The roll-up blackout curtain at the front opening of the side-wall protective cabin can close the opening during disinfection to prevent ultraviolet light leakage and harm to surrounding personnel, while also enhancing the reflection of ultraviolet light inside the cabin and improving disinfection efficiency. When not in disinfection mode, the blackout curtain can be rolled up and stored without affecting the normal extension and retraction of the guide mechanism. The integrated storage and disinfection design allows the equipment to maintain hygiene and safety in frequently used public places, reducing the workload of manual cleaning and disinfection.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the side-mounted telescopic frame is equipped with supporting rollers, and a linear guide rail pair and a stroke positioning mechanism are provided between the side-mounted telescopic frame and the side wall protective compartment; the linear guide rail pair constrains the side-mounted telescopic frame to move in a straight line in the front-back direction, and the stroke positioning mechanism locks the position after the side-mounted telescopic frame extends into place.

[0015] Support rollers at the bottom of the side-mounted telescopic frame provide support for its telescopic movement, ensuring smooth forward and backward movement even when bearing the weight of the storage platform and the upper folding support. This prevents end sagging or movement jamming caused by the cantilever structure. Linear guide rails precisely constrain the movement direction of the side-mounted telescopic frame, ensuring stable linear movement along the front-back direction. The high accuracy and repeatability of the movement trajectory provide a fundamental guarantee for the accurate positioning of the upper guide mechanism. The stroke positioning mechanism locks the frame in place after it extends to its final position, firmly fixing it in place and preventing backward displacement due to external forces or reaction forces from the upper mechanism's movements. This ensures the positional stability of the guide mechanism during use. The combined effect of these three mechanisms makes the telescopic movement of the side-mounted telescopic frame both flexible and reliable, balancing ease of operation and safety.

[0016] Furthermore, the folding support includes a vertical flipping seat, a folding arm support frame, and a horizontal rotating seat; the vertical flipping seat is fixed to the top of the side-mounted telescopic frame, and the folding arm support frame is rotatably connected to the side-mounted telescopic frame through the vertical flipping seat, and can be flipped around the horizontal axis to achieve upright unfolding and horizontal folding for storage; The horizontal swivel base is fixed to the end of the articulated arm support frame, and the human-shaped magnetic base is installed on the horizontal swivel base, which can rotate horizontally around the vertical axis to align with the user's face; The top of the side wall protective cabin is fixed with positioning lugs, which have locking threaded holes. The folding arm support frame has alignment through holes. The locking bolt passes through the alignment through holes and is screwed into the locking threaded holes to achieve position locking of the folding support frame in the upright and unfolded state.

[0017] The folding support adopts a multi-degree-of-freedom combination structure of a vertical flip-up base, a folding arm support frame, and a horizontal rotating base, achieving the dual functions of folding and storage as well as multi-angle posture adjustment. The vertical flip-up base allows the folding arm support frame to rotate around a horizontal axis. When unfolded, it raises the human-shaped magnetic base and intelligent guide screen to a suitable operating height. When folded horizontally, it significantly reduces the vertical space occupied, facilitating overall storage within the side-wall protective compartment. The horizontal rotating base allows the human-shaped magnetic base to rotate horizontally around a vertical axis, flexibly adjusting the angle of the intelligent guide screen according to the user's position and orientation, ensuring the screen faces the user's face for optimal viewing angle and interactive experience. The positioning lugs and locking bolts, when the folding support is in the unfolded state, achieve a rigid connection between the folding arm support frame and the top of the side-wall protective compartment by screwing the bolts through the alignment through holes into the locking threaded holes. This effectively enhances the structural rigidity and anti-sway capability in the unfolded state, preventing the support from swaying during guidance and affecting the user's operating experience. This multi-degree-of-freedom folding and locking structure ensures both the compactness of the folded state and the stability and angular adaptability of the unfolded state.

[0018] Furthermore, a folding support plate is hinged to the side of the storage platform adjacent to the terminal host. The folding support plate can be flipped open and spliced ​​with the storage platform to form a continuous support surface. A telescopic expansion plate is slidably installed inside the folding support plate. The telescopic expansion plate can be pulled out along the width direction to extend the effective width of the support surface.

[0019] The folding support plate, hinged to the side of the terminal host, can be flipped open and connected to the storage platform when needed to form a continuous support surface, providing users with additional storage space for personal belongings, documents, and ID pouches, thus improving the convenience and comfort of operation. A telescopic extension plate sliding inside the folding support plate can be further extended along its width, expanding the effective width of the support surface to accommodate items of different sizes, offering greater flexibility. When not in use, the telescopic extension plate can be retracted into the folding support plate, which can then be flipped open to return to its original shape, without occupying additional space. This two-stage expandable storage surface design, through a combination of folding and telescopic movement, allows for on-demand adjustment of the support area, significantly improving the practicality and adaptability of the storage function without increasing the overall footprint of the terminal.

[0020] Furthermore, the paper output area of ​​the terminal host is equipped with a pull-out paper delivery mechanism. The pull-out paper delivery mechanism is connected to the terminal host through a guide rail and can extend horizontally toward the folding support plate to deliver the printed paper to the top of the folding support plate. The paper detection sensor is located at the end of the pull-out paper delivery mechanism and is connected to the smart guide screen.

[0021] The pull-out paper delivery mechanism connects to the terminal host via a guide rail and extends horizontally towards the unfolding support plate, directly delivering the printed paper to the top of the plate. This eliminates the need for users to reach into the paper output slot of the terminal host, making it especially user-friendly for those with mobility issues or height limitations. The entire paper delivery process from the output slot to the support plate is automated, preventing users from fumbling around the terminal due to unfamiliarity with the paper output location and reducing the risk of paper falling or being lost. A paper detection sensor at the end of the pull-out paper delivery mechanism can detect whether the paper has reached the delivery end in real time and transmit the detection signal to the intelligent guidance screen. This allows the guidance system to update the guidance prompts based on the paper's arrival status, guiding the user to remove the paper from the support plate, forming a complete closed loop of print delivery prompts and paper retrieval. This paper delivery and detection linkage design makes the paper output process more natural and smooth, further reducing the complexity of self-service operation.

[0022] Furthermore, the gravity self-aligning scanning stage has a scanning plane that is tilted towards the lower left corner, and the scanning plane is covered with a drag-reducing and wear-resistant coating; an L-shaped limiting strip is installed at the lower left corner of the scanning plane, and the two sides of the L-shaped limiting strip are arranged perpendicular to each other to implement bidirectional limiting of the placed document, restrict the document from sliding off the scanning plane and assist the document in gravity alignment.

[0023] The gravity-driven self-aligning scanning stage features a scanning plane tilted towards the lower left corner. Utilizing gravity, documents placed on the plane automatically slide towards the lower left corner, achieving initial alignment without manual user intervention. The operation is intuitive and requires no learning curve. The friction-reducing and wear-resistant coating on the scanning plane effectively reduces friction between the document and the plane, allowing the document to slide more smoothly to the limit position under gravity. It also enhances the wear resistance of the scanning plane, extending the equipment's lifespan. An L-shaped limit stop at the lower left corner of the scanning plane, with two perpendicular edges forming a right-angle limit structure, provides bidirectional restraint for documents sliding to the lower left corner. This prevents the document from sliding further off the scanning plane and assists in automatically adjusting to the standard scanning position under gravity, ensuring the document is in the optimal reading posture for each scan. This gravity-driven self-aligning scanning structure relies entirely on mechanical principles for automatic alignment, requiring no additional power drive or sensor detection. Its simple, reliable, low-cost, and low-failure-rate structure significantly improves the operational efficiency and success rate of card reading and scanning.

[0024] Furthermore, the guide lights adopt a zoned independent light control structure, with the guide lights corresponding to each physical operation area being controlled separately.

[0025] The guide lights employ a zoned, independently controlled light structure. Each physical operation area's guide light can be individually controlled to light up or turn off, ensuring precise matching of the light guidance to the specific area corresponding to the current operation step. This avoids visual interference and distraction caused by all lights being on simultaneously. During step-by-step operations, only the guide light corresponding to the currently needed area is lit, while the guide lights in other areas remain off. The natural changes in light intensity guide the user's gaze to the correct operation location, creating clear step-by-step guidance. Zoned, independently controlled light also supports different light state combinations, such as constant light indicating the current operation area, flashing indicating waiting for operation, and color changing indicating operation completion or error, further enriching the information dimensions of the light prompts. This zoned light control design makes the guide light prompts more precise and efficient, forming a visual synergy with the step-by-step guidance of the intelligent guidance screen, enhancing the guidance effect of step-by-step operations.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The self-service terminal provided by this invention constructs a complete proactive intelligent guidance and multimodal feedback system through multi-module collaborative innovation, fundamentally changing the traditional passive user interaction mode of self-service terminals. The device organically integrates screen animation guidance, zoned lighting guidance, physical posture feedback, and visual recognition error correction, forming a multi-dimensional guidance loop covering the entire operation process. This enables the elderly and those unfamiliar with smart devices to independently complete self-service operations, significantly improving the device's universality and inclusiveness.

[0027] The combined storage design of the side-mounted telescopic frame and folding bracket allows the guidance mechanism to be completely retracted into the side-wall protective compartment when not in use. This maintains the clean and uniform appearance of the terminal without occupying additional public space, balancing functionality and space efficiency. The integrated UV disinfection function in the side-wall protective compartment provides automatic disinfection for frequently touched guidance components, effectively ensuring hygiene and safety in public places and reducing manual cleaning and maintenance costs. The gravity-driven self-aligning scanning table uses purely mechanical principles to automatically align documents, and the pull-out paper delivery mechanism actively delivers the printed paper. These detailed designs further lower the operational threshold, reducing the user's workload and the probability of errors. The magnetic quick-release connection between the humanoid magnetic base and the intelligent guidance screen, combined with the conical positioning and integrated power supply structure, ensures both reliable and convenient connection, and facilitates subsequent screen replacement, maintenance, and upgrades. The real-time operation correctness judgment capability of the visual recognition module allows the guidance system to move beyond the one-way push of a preset process, dynamically adjusting the guidance strategy according to the user's actual operating status, achieving true adaptive assistance.

[0028] Overall, this invention, without significantly increasing the size and cost of the equipment, effectively solves the technical problems of existing self-service terminals, such as high operational threshold, high dependence on manual labor, and insufficient user-friendliness, through systematic structural innovation and interactive design. It has important practical value for improving the coverage and service quality of self-service in public places. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following detailed embodiments fully disclose the technical solution of the present invention, ensuring that those skilled in the art can reproduce the invention and achieve its technical effects without creative effort. These embodiments are merely exemplary forms embodying the core concept of the present invention and should not be used as a basis for limiting the scope of the claims; all equivalent solutions derived from the technical principles of the present invention through conventional means fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 The self-service terminal shown includes a terminal host 1, a side-mounted telescopic frame 2, a folding support 3, a human-shaped magnetic base 4, an intelligent guide screen 5, and a visual recognition module 6. The terminal host 1, as the core control and operation unit of the entire machine, integrates a touch screen, a card reader module, a printing module, and various physical operation buttons or interfaces. The card reader area of ​​the terminal host 1 is equipped with a gravity-driven self-aligning scanning table 11 for reading information from various documents such as ID cards, bank cards, and social security cards. Indicator lights 12 are distributed on the sides of various physical operation areas of the terminal host 1 to indicate the current operation position. The side-mounted telescopic frame 2 is mounted on the side of the terminal host 1 and can extend and retract in the front-to-back direction. When extended, it protrudes from the front of the terminal host 1; when retracted, it is hidden inside the side wall protective compartment 7 of the terminal host 1. A storage platform 21 is integrated on the top of the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 for placing the user's personal belongings. The folding support 3 is mounted on the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 and can switch between folded storage and unfolded support states. A human-shaped magnetic base 4 is fixed to the end of the folding bracket 3 for magnetically securing the intelligent guide screen 5. The human-shaped magnetic base 4 has prompting arms 41 on both sides and a prompting light 42 on the top. The prompting arms 41 can perform different postures, and the prompting light 42 can display different lighting states, together forming a physical feedback channel. A visual recognition module 6 is positioned facing the physical operation area of ​​the terminal host 1, used to collect user operation images in real time and identify the correctness of operation steps, generating corresponding feedback commands. The intelligent guide screen 5 establishes data connections with both the terminal host 1 and the visual recognition module 6, relying on the guidance animation displayed on its own screen and the guide light 12 on the terminal host 1 to complete step-by-step intelligent guidance. Based on the feedback commands generated by the visual recognition module 6, the prompting arms 41 and the prompting light 42 on the human-shaped magnetic base 4 output corresponding posture prompts indicating whether the operation is correct or incorrect.

[0033] The card reading area of ​​the terminal host 1 is equipped with a gravity-aligned scanning stage 11, which has a scanning plane 111 tilted towards the lower left corner. The scanning plane 111 is generally rectangular and flat, with its tilt direction set so that the lower left corner is lower than the upper right corner, allowing the document placed on the scanning plane 111 to naturally slide towards the lower left corner under the influence of gravity. The surface of the scanning plane 111 is covered with a friction-reducing and wear-resistant coating. This coating can be made of a low-friction coefficient polymer material, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, an organosilicon coating, or other surface treatment layers with friction-reducing and wear-resistant properties, to reduce the sliding friction resistance between the document and the scanning plane 111, ensuring that the document can slide smoothly downwards along the tilted surface. An L-shaped limiting strip 112 is fitted at the lower left corner of the scanning plane 111. The two sides of the L-shaped limiting strip 112 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, extending along the left and lower sides of the scanning plane 111, respectively. When the document slides down to the lower left corner under the influence of gravity, its left and lower edges abut against the two sides of the L-shaped limiting strip 112, respectively. Subjected to bidirectional limiting constraints, it cannot slide further off the scanning plane 111 and automatically positions itself in two vertical directions, ultimately stopping the document in the standard scanning and reading position. In some embodiments, the L-shaped limiting strip 112 can be designed as an adjustable structure, adapting to the positioning requirements of documents of different sizes by adjusting the position of the sides; the drag-reducing and wear-resistant coating can also be replaced with a micro-ball bearing array structure or an air-float drag-reducing structure to further reduce sliding resistance; the tilt angle of the scanning plane 111 can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements, ensuring both gravity self-alignment and document placement stability.

[0034] The various physical operation areas of the terminal host 1, including but not limited to card slots, barcode scanners, fingerprint collection areas, and button operation areas, are each equipped with guide lights 12 on their sides. The guide lights 12 employ a zoned independent light control structure, with each guide light 12 corresponding to a physical operation area connected to an independent control channel, allowing for individual control over lighting, extinguishing, or switching of light states. The lighting status of each guide light 12 is synchronized with the guidance steps of the intelligent guidance screen 5. When the guidance process reaches a certain operation step, the guide light 12 of the corresponding operation area automatically lights up, guiding the user's gaze to focus on that area; after the operation is completed, the guide light 12 in that area turns off or switches to a completed state, and the guide light 12 of the next operation area then lights up. The guide lights 12 can be in the form of LED light strips, LED bead arrays, or light guide strips, installed on the edges or sides of each operation area, ensuring sufficient visibility without obstructing the operation area itself.

[0035] The side-mounted telescopic frame 2 has an overall frame structure and is assembled inside the side wall protective compartment 7 on the side of the terminal host 1. It can move linearly in the front-back direction. The bottom of the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 is equipped with support rollers 22, which abut against the bottom bearing surface of the side wall protective compartment 7 or directly abut against the ground, providing bottom support for the side-mounted telescopic frame 2, distributing the frame's own weight and upper load, and avoiding the end sagging problem caused by cantilever telescopic structures. A linear guide rail pair 23 and a stroke positioning mechanism 24 are provided between the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 and the side wall protective compartment 7. The linear guide rail pair 23 consists of a guide rail and a slider. The guide rail is fixed to the side wall and bottom of the side wall protective compartment 7 in the front-back direction, and the slider is correspondingly fixed to the side-mounted telescopic frame 2. The slider and the guide rail slide together, constraining the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 to make stable linear movements in the front-back direction. The travel positioning mechanism 24 is located between the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 and the side wall protective compartment 7. After the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 extends into its extended position, it automatically or manually locks the position, fixing the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 in the extended state and preventing the frame from shifting backward due to external forces during use. The travel positioning mechanism 24 can adopt various forms such as spring pin positioning, ball positioning, elastic buckle positioning, or electromagnetic locking. The top of the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 integrates a storage platform 21, which is a horizontally arranged flat structure used to hold the user's personal belongings. A folding support plate 27 is hinged to the side of the storage platform 21 adjacent to the terminal host 1. The folding support plate 27 can be flipped around the hinge axis. When unfolded, it is on the same horizontal plane as the storage platform 21, forming a continuous support surface; when folded, the folding support plate 27 flips downward or upward and rests against the side of the storage platform 21. A telescopic extension plate 271 is slidably installed inside the folding support plate 27. The telescopic extension plate 271 can be pulled out along the width direction of the folding support plate 27 to further extend the effective width of the support surface. A sliding guide structure and a limiting structure are provided between the telescopic extension plate 271 and the folding support plate 27 to ensure the smoothness of the pulling movement and prevent the telescopic extension plate 271 from being completely pulled out and falling off.

[0036] The folding support 3 is mounted on the top of the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 and includes a vertical flip base 31, a folding arm support frame 32, and a horizontal rotating base 33. The vertical flip base 31 is fixed to the top of the side-mounted telescopic frame 2, and the folding arm support frame 32 is rotatably connected to the side-mounted telescopic frame 2 through the vertical flip base 31. The rotation axis of the vertical flip base 31 is arranged horizontally, allowing the folding arm support frame 32 to flip around the horizontal axis, unfolding vertically when upright and folding horizontally for storage. The horizontal rotating base 33 is fixed to the end of the folding arm support frame 32, and the human-shaped magnetic base 4 is installed on the horizontal rotating base 33, which can rotate horizontally around the vertical axis to adjust the orientation of the intelligent guide screen 5 so that it is aligned with the user's face. The top of the side wall protective compartment 7 is fixed with a positioning lug 25, which has a locking threaded hole; the folding arm support frame 32 has a corresponding alignment through hole. When the folding support 3 is erected and unfolded to the working position, the alignment through hole and the locking threaded hole are coaxially aligned. The locking bolt 26 passes through the alignment through hole and screws into the locking threaded hole, thereby locking the position of the folding support 3 in the erected state and enhancing the structural rigidity in the unfolded state. In some embodiments, the vertical flipping seat 31 can be configured with a damping structure or a positioning structure, so that the folding arm support frame 32 can be suspended at any flipping angle; the horizontal slewing seat 33 can also be configured with a damping or indexing positioning structure to achieve stepless adjustment or gear adjustment of the angle; the folding form of the folding support 3 can also be replaced with a scissor lift structure, a multi-segment articulated arm structure, or a telescopic sleeve structure to adapt to different storage space and unfolding height requirements.

[0037] The humanoid magnetic base 4 is shaped like a human upper body and is fixed to the horizontal rotating seat 33 at the end of the folding bracket 3. A conical positioning groove 43 is formed in the middle of the humanoid magnetic base 4, with the opening of the groove facing forward and the groove gradually narrowing from the opening to the bottom. A magnetic power supply module is integrated inside the conical positioning groove 43, which includes a permanent magnet or electromagnet and power supply contacts, providing both magnetic attraction and power supply. A conical boss that matches the conical positioning groove 43 is fixed to the back side of the intelligent guide screen 5, with the outer conical surface of the boss having the same taper as the inner conical surface of the conical positioning groove 43. During installation, the conical protrusion on the back side is aligned with the conical positioning groove 43 of the humanoid magnetic base 4. Under the combined action of magnetic attraction and conical guidance, the conical protrusion automatically slides into the conical positioning groove 43 and achieves precise alignment. Simultaneously, the power supply contacts of the magnetic power supply module are connected to the corresponding contact points on the conical protrusion, completing the fixation and power supply connection of the intelligent guide screen 5. The humanoid magnetic base 4 has indicator arms 41 on both sides. These arms can perform different postures under the action of the drive mechanism, such as raising, lowering, swinging, and pointing, conveying correct or incorrect operation information through body language. The top of the humanoid magnetic base 4 is equipped with an indicator light 42, which can output light prompts through color changes, flashing frequency changes, or on / off changes. An elastic buffer anti-detachment rope 44 is installed between the side walls of the human-shaped magnetic base 4 and the intelligent guide screen 5. The two ends of the anti-detachment rope are respectively connected to the side walls of the human-shaped magnetic base 4 and the intelligent guide screen 5. Under normal magnetic attraction, the anti-detachment rope is in a slack state and does not affect use. When the intelligent guide screen 5 is accidentally detached from the magnetic attraction, the anti-detachment rope is straightened, which constitutes an anti-falling limit constraint for the intelligent guide screen 5. In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction method of the magnetic power supply module can adopt electromagnetic adsorption to achieve electronic unlocking, or adopt a hybrid fixing method of permanent magnet and mechanical buckle; the driving method of the prompting arm 41 can adopt a variety of forms such as micro servo motor, small motor with linkage mechanism, pneumatic drive or shape memory alloy drive; the prompt light 42 can be replaced with a small expression display screen to convey feedback information in a richer form of facial expression; the elastic buffer anti-detachment rope 44 can also be replaced with an elastic steel strip or spiral cable or other structures with similar functions.

[0038] The intelligent guidance screen 5 is a flat-panel touch display screen. Its front side displays guidance animations and operation prompts, while its back side is fixed with a conical protrusion for connection with the human-shaped magnetic base 4. The intelligent guidance screen 5 has a built-in control unit that establishes wired or wireless data connections with the main control system of the terminal host 1 and the visual recognition module 6, respectively. It receives business process information from the terminal host 1 and operation feedback information from the visual recognition module 6, processes them comprehensively, and outputs corresponding guidance screens and feedback control commands.

[0039] The visual recognition module 6 is mounted on the folding bracket 3 or the human-shaped magnetic base 4, with its lens facing the physical operating area of ​​the terminal host 1. The visual recognition module 6 includes a camera and an image processing unit, which captures the user's actions in the physical operating area in real time. It uses image recognition algorithms to determine whether the user's current operation is correct, such as whether the document is placed correctly, whether the finger is pressing the correct button, or whether the card is inserted into the correct slot. The recognition results are sent to the smart guidance screen 5 as feedback instructions. The recognition range of the visual recognition module 6 covers the main operating area on the front of the terminal host 1, ensuring that it can capture the user's key actions.

[0040] A side-wall protective compartment 7 is fixed to the side of the terminal host 1. The side-wall protective compartment 7 is a hollow cabin structure with an opening on the side facing the front of the terminal host 1. The side-mounted telescopic frame 2, folding bracket 3, human-shaped magnetic base 4, and intelligent guide screen 5 can all be retracted into the side-wall protective compartment 7 when in storage mode. The inner wall of the side-wall protective compartment 7 is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection module, which consists of several ultraviolet lamp beads or ultraviolet lamp tubes, distributed in different positions on the inner wall of the compartment to ensure that the surface of each component inside the compartment can be irradiated with ultraviolet light. A roll-up light-blocking curtain 71 is provided at the opening at the front of the side-wall protective compartment 7. The light-blocking curtain can be rolled up and down or left and right along the opening. During disinfection operations, the light-blocking curtain unfolds to close the opening, preventing ultraviolet light leakage and enhancing the reflection effect of ultraviolet light inside the compartment; when the guide mechanism needs to be extended, the light-blocking curtain rolls up to open the opening. In some implementations, the ultraviolet disinfection module can be replaced by other disinfection methods such as an ozone generator, a plasma generator, or a hot air drying disinfection device; the roll-up blackout curtain 71 can also be replaced by a sliding door, a flip-up hatch, or a double-opening door.

[0041] The paper output area of ​​the terminal host 1 is equipped with a pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13. The pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13 is connected to the terminal host 1 via a guide rail and can extend horizontally towards the folding support plate 27. The receiving end of the pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13 is aligned with the paper output port of the terminal host 1. After the printed paper enters the paper delivery mechanism, it is conveyed along the guide rail towards the folding support plate 27, ultimately delivering the paper above the folding support plate 27. A paper detection sensor 131 is located at the end of the pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13. The paper detection sensor 131 is data-connected to the intelligent guide screen 5 and is used to detect whether the paper has reached the delivery end. When the paper is detected to be in place, the sensor sends a signal to the intelligent guide screen 5, which then updates its guidance content, prompting the user to remove the paper from the folding support plate 27. In some embodiments, the pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13 can be driven by a motor in conjunction with a gear and rack mechanism, a synchronous belt drive mechanism, an electric push rod, or a spring energy storage plus electromagnet release mechanism; the paper detection sensor 131 can be a photoelectric through-beam sensor, a photoelectric reflective sensor, a weight sensor, or a mechanical micro switch, etc.

[0042] The overall working process of the aforementioned self-service terminal is as follows: The roll-up blackout curtain 71 at the front end of the side wall protective compartment 7 rolls up and opens. The side-mounted telescopic frame 2 extends forward in the front-rear direction under the constraint of the linear guide rail pair 23. The support roller 22 rolls along the bottom of the compartment to support the weight of the frame. After extending into place, the stroke positioning mechanism 24 automatically locks the frame position. Subsequently, the folding arm support frame 32 of the folding bracket 3 flips and stands up around the horizontal axis of the vertical flip seat 31. After standing in place, the locking bolt 26 is screwed through the alignment through hole into the locking thread hole of the positioning bracket 25 to complete the locking of the unfolded state. The horizontal rotating seat 33 drives the human-shaped magnetic base 4 and the intelligent guide screen 5 to rotate horizontally and adjust to the angle facing the user's face.

[0043] When a user approaches the terminal host 1 and triggers the activation condition, the intelligent guidance screen 5 starts the step-by-step guidance program. The screen displays a guidance animation for the first step of the operation, and at the same time, the indicator light 12 for the corresponding operation area on the terminal host 1 lights up, guiding the user to focus their gaze and attention on the correct operation position. Taking the card reading step as an example, the user places the document on the gravity self-aligning scanning table 11. Under the influence of the gravitational component of the inclined scanning plane 111, the document slides along the drag-reducing and wear-resistant coating surface to the lower left corner, and finally abuts against the two vertical stops of the L-shaped limit bar 112, automatically completing the alignment and scanning to read the document information.

[0044] The visual recognition module 6 captures the user's operation screen in real time and identifies whether the operation steps are correct. If the operation is correct, the intelligent guidance screen 5 updates the guidance animation to proceed to the next step, the prompt arm 41 of the humanoid magnetic base 4 makes an affirmative gesture, the prompt light 42 switches to the correct state light, the guide light 12 of the corresponding operation area turns off, and the guide light 12 of the next operation area lights up. If the operation is incorrect or a step is missed, the visual recognition module 6 identifies the error and sends an error feedback command to the intelligent guidance screen 5. The intelligent guidance screen 5 pauses the current process and displays a correction prompt, the prompt arm 41 of the humanoid magnetic base 4 makes a negative or guiding gesture, the prompt light 42 switches to the reminder state light, guiding the user to correct the operation before continuing. It should be noted that the intelligent guidance screen can have a built-in voice prompt module to further enhance the eye-catching effect of the prompts.

[0045] When the operation involves printing, after the printing module of the terminal host 1 completes printing, the pull-out paper delivery mechanism 13 extends along the guide rail towards the folding support plate 27, delivering the printed paper above the folding support plate 27. After the paper detection sensor 131 detects that the paper is in place, it sends a signal to the intelligent guide screen 5, which prompts the user to remove the paper from the folding support plate 27. During operation, the user can place personal belongings on the storage platform 21. If more carrying space is needed, the folding support plate 27 can be flipped open, and if necessary, the telescopic extension plate 271 can be pulled out to extend the carrying width. After all operations are completed, the intelligent guide screen 5 displays an end prompt, and each mechanism retracts in reverse order of unfolding: the folding bracket 3 is unlocked and flipped folded, the side telescopic frame 2 is released from its travel positioning and retracted into the side wall protective chamber 7, the roll-up light-blocking curtain 71 unfolds to close the hatch, the ultraviolet disinfection module is activated to disinfect the guide components inside the chamber, and the equipment returns to standby mode after disinfection is completed.

[0046] In summary, the above embodiments are intended to fully present the implementable forms and technical logic of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent substitutions, structural adjustments, and feature combinations made based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the core inventive concept, should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
