It can interact with smartphones or other mobile devices that support NFC technology to complete payment and transfer operations. NFC cashier is usually used by merchants to provide customers with a more convenient and fast payment method. When a customer needs to pay, he only needs to bring the NFC-enabled mobile phone or card close to the cashier to complete the payment process. This device is widely used in many shopping malls, restaurants, coffee shops and other places.

[0044] The benefits of NFC payment devices include convenience, security, and reduced risk of cash transactions. Using NFC payment, customers can save the trouble of getting change and carrying cash, while also reducing the risk of theft.

[0045] However, if the consumer pays on the side of the cash register, it is difficult for the customer to clearly see the information displayed on the payment interaction area 210 of the traditional cash register, resulting in a poor customer experience.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the present application proposes a payment collection device, which includes a base 100 and a rotating part 200. The base 100 includes a rotating motor (not shown in the figure); the rotating part 200 is connected to the rotating motor, and a payment interaction area 210 is provided at the end of the rotating part 200 away from the base 100, and payment information is displayed on the payment interaction area 210; the rotating part 200 is provided with a sensing module and a control module, the sensing module is used to identify user location information, and the control module is used to receive the location information and send rotation information; wherein, the rotating motor is used to receive the rotation information, and is used to drive the payment interaction area 210 on the rotating part 200 to rotate to a payment position matching the user location information. Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating motor drives the rotating part 200 to rotate along the axis X.

[0047] It should be noted that the sensing module here can be a camera, a radar sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc. Among them, the camera tracks the position and action of a person in real time by capturing images of the surrounding environment and the human body. In this case, the display area 231 is provided with a light-transmitting area, and the sensing module obtains image information through the light-transmitting area; the radar sensor uses electromagnetic waves to detect objects, which can be used to track the position and movement trajectory of the human body at a long distance; the ultrasonic sensor detects the distance and direction of the object by sending and receiving ultrasonic signals, thereby tracking the position of the human body at a close distance. The payment interaction area 210 can be a near-field communication sensing area or a scanning area, and the payment interaction area 210 can also be equipped with both a near-field communication sensing area and a scanning area. The near-field communication sensing area is connected to the communication module and the control module, and the payment is controlled by the communication module and the control module; the scanning area can include a camera, which can be used to scan the QR code displayed by the user for payment.

[0048] The present application uses a sensing module to identify the customer's position and drives the rotating part 200 to rotate by rotating the motor, so that the payment interaction area 210 located on the rotating part 200 rotates to face the customer, thereby facilitating the customer to view the content on the payment interaction area 210 and make payments. This avoids the need for the customer to change his position to see the content on the payment interaction area 210, providing a smoother payment experience for the customer.

[0049] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating part 200 includes a housing 220 and an information part 230. A display area 231 is provided on the side of the information part 230. The display area 231 can be switched between a first position and a second position. Figure 2 As shown, when the information portion 230 is located at the first position, the display area 231 is blocked by the housing 220; Figure 3 As shown, when the information portion 230 is in the second position, at least part of the display area 231 is exposed outside the housing 220. The display area 231 here can be used to display payment information. Because the display area 231 is exposed outside the housing 220 when in the second position, more information can be displayed to the customer, thereby giving the customer a better payment experience. In addition, the display area 231 can be used to display expression information, thereby giving the customer a rich interactive experience.

[0050] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 As shown, the payment interaction area 210 is arranged on the information portion 230 . When the information portion 230 is located at the first position, the plane where the payment interaction area 210 is located is parallel to the plane where the base 100 is located.

[0051] In this embodiment, the plane where the payment interaction area 210 is located is arranged to be parallel to the plane where the base 100 is located, so that the user can more conveniently see the payment interaction area 210 when in the first position, and it is more convenient to use a mobile phone to pay.

[0052] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the payment interaction area 210 is arranged on the information part 230. When the information part 230 is located in the second position, the plane where the payment interaction area 210 is located is arranged at an angle with the plane where the base 100 is located, and the angle α is greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 45°.

[0053] In some examples, α may be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°. In this embodiment, the angle α is set to be greater than or equal to 5° and less than or equal to 45°, so that the information portion 230 can be exposed enough to display more information.

[0054] Furthermore, the height of the display area 231 is greater than or equal to 1 cm and less than or equal to 10 cm. Within this range, the display area 231 can display enough information to facilitate customers to obtain. For example, the height of the display area 231 can be 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm.

[0055] In one embodiment, the cash collection device is further provided with a signal light, which is connected to the control module and is used to represent light information, and the light information includes at least one of the following information: frequency information, opening and closing information, and color information.

[0056] In actual application scenarios, the flashing time, flashing frequency and flashing color of the signal light can be controlled to convey corresponding information to the user during the payment interaction process. In some examples, the color can be white, yellow, red or green, the flashing time can be 1 to 2 seconds, and the flashing frequency can be 1 to 3 times.

[0057] In one embodiment, when the communication module is in a payment interaction preparation state, the light information displayed by the signal light is the first light information; when the communication module is in a payment interaction completion state, the light information displayed by the signal light is the second light information; wherein, the first light information and the second light information are not exactly the same.

[0058] The signal light added to the payment device in this embodiment can be linked with the communication module for control, specifically, the control module is respectively connected to the signal light and the communication module. When the control module turns on the payment interaction function of the communication module under remote control or direct contact control, the control module can synchronously control the communication module to be in a payment interaction preparation state. At this time, the signal light can display the first light information to remind the user that the payment device has entered the payment interaction preparation state. When the payment interaction is completed, the control module can control the signal light to display the second light information to remind the user that the payment interaction is completed. This embodiment uses different light information to convey corresponding information to the user, making the payment interaction process more efficient and quick.

[0059] Furthermore, the rotating part 200 is provided with a broadcasting part and a housing 220. The housing 220 is provided with a sound outlet, and the broadcasting part outputs sound to the outside through the sound outlet. The audio can convey payment information to the user alone, or it can cooperate with the above-mentioned signal light to give the customer multi-dimensional information, so as to facilitate the merchant and the customer to identify.
