Compared with scanning codes and scanning faces, the payment efficiency is improved, which not only improves the shopping experience of consumers, but also increases the number of transactions of merchants and increases the turnover of merchants.

[0034] The electronic device includes but is not limited to a mobile phone or a tablet.

[0035] The upper shell 2 is provided with payment guidance text 20 to provide payment method guidance, which can guide consumers on how to use the NFC function, making it more user-friendly and improving payment efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, the text 20 guiding payment may be, for example, "Unlock your phone and tap to pay", etc. This application does not limit the content of the text 20 guiding payment, including but not limited to Chinese characters, English, pinyin, symbols and combinations thereof.

[0037] In some implementations, the cash register device 100 includes a light (not shown) to illuminate the text 20 guiding payment.

[0038] In some embodiments, the illumination lamp is located in the receiving cavity.

[0039] In some embodiments, the text 20 guiding payment may also be self-luminous text.

[0040] Ginseng Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower shell 1 includes a first end 13 and a second end 14 that are relatively arranged. The NFC module 3 is located at the second end 14. The upper shell 2 includes a base 21 and an extension portion 22 extending from the base 21. The text 20 guiding payment is set on the base 21. The extension portion 22 extends beyond the first end 13 to increase the sense of technology, which is conducive to the promotion of the NFC function.

[0041] In some embodiments, the transparency of the extension portion 22 is greater than the transparency of the base portion 21 to enhance the cool effect and facilitate the promotion of the NFC function.

[0042] In some embodiments, the lower shell 1 includes a bottom wall 15 and a side wall 16 extending from the bottom wall 15, the bottom wall 15 and the upper shell 2 are oblong, the side wall 16 includes an outwardly convex arc portion 161, and the area of ​​the base 21 is larger than the area of ​​the bottom wall 15. The lower shell 1 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, creating a visual sense of suspension, which increases the sense of technology and is conducive to the promotion of NFC functions. The surface of the cash register device 100 is smooth and has no edges and corners to prevent scratches. This application does not limit the appearance of the cash register device 100.
