DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] The terms used in this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0038] The study found that the payment interaction devices in related technologies usually have a simple structure, and either use a camera or a barcode scanner to realize mobile payment. During the mobile payment process, the user is required to open the QR code / barcode interface of the portable device in advance, aim the QR code / barcode interface at the camera or barcode scanner and hold the phone still for a certain period of time before payment can be realized. In addition, when there is no complete correspondence between the QR code and the scanning window, payment failure is likely to occur. The manual operation process is relatively cumbersome, so the simplicity of mobile payment and the payment success rate need to be further optimized.

[0039] The present application provides a payment interaction device, which aims to solve the above technical problems of related technologies.

[0040] The payment interaction device in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the absence of conflict, the features in the following embodiments may complement or be combined with each other.

[0042] The present application provides a payment interaction device 1, such as Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, it includes a housing 10, a communication module 20 and a control module. The housing 10 is provided with a groove 11a, and the communication module 20 is arranged in the housing 10, and is used to perform payment interaction with the portable device 2 at least partially located in the groove 11a; the control module is arranged in the housing 10, connected to the communication module 20, and is used to control the communication module 20 and the portable device 2 to complete the payment interaction.

[0043] The payment interaction device 1 in this embodiment is provided with a groove 11a on the shell 10, and the communication module 20 is arranged in the shell 10 for payment interaction with the portable device 2. The user can insert the portable device 2 into the groove 11a to realize data interaction with the communication module 20. Compared with the payment interaction device 1 in the related technology that only provides a code scanning interface / code scanning window, the payment interaction device 1 in this application is additionally provided with a groove 11a, which can guide the payment interaction position, and when the portable device 2 is inserted into the groove 11a, since the portable device 2 needs to remain stationary for a period of time during the payment process, when the portable device 2 is inserted into the groove 11a, it can be against the shell 10, which is more labor-saving and does not require the user to hold the mobile phone all the time. Therefore, it is more convenient and quick in actual payment interaction operations.

[0044] In some embodiments, the communication module 20 is a near field communication module (NFC). Compared with the code scanning payment in the related art, the near field communication payment only needs to maintain a certain distance between the portable device 2 and the code scanning window to realize the payment, and does not need to be aligned with the code scanning window, which reduces the user's operation accuracy requirements, is more convenient and quick, and can improve the user experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, after the payment interaction is completed, the portable device 2 will display an interaction completion interface (for example: Figure 2As shown, the mobile phone display interface may be a picture of an animal's claws grabbing gold coins or an animal's mouth eating gold coins, etc.), combined with the picture scene displayed by the portable device 2, and then the user associates the groove 11a structure of the payment interaction device 1 itself with an animal's mouth or an animal's hole, thereby simulating the payment interaction device 1 into an interesting image such as a gold-eating animal, which can enhance the human-computer interaction experience, make human-computer interaction interesting, more memorable and spreadable, and can increase the number of offline mobile payment transactions.

[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a main body 12 and a groove 11, the groove 11 is formed with a groove 11a, the main body 12 and the groove 11 are enclosed to form a receiving cavity, and the communication module 20 and the control module are both disposed in the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity formed inside the housing 10 in this embodiment can be used to accommodate the communication module 20 and the control module, which can improve the aesthetics of the overall structure.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the main body 12 includes a first shell 121, a second shell 122 and a base 123; one end of the first shell 121 is connected to the base 123, and the other end is connected to the groove portion 11; one end of the second shell 122 is connected to the base 123, and the other end is connected to the groove portion 11; the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are connected to each other.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are both connected to the base 123 . To a certain extent, the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 can be relatively fixed by the base 123 , which can further improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0049] In some embodiments, the plane formed by the boundary line between the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 at least partially overlaps with the central axis plane of the base 123. The shell 10 as a whole is assembled through multiple decomposed structures, which can improve the aesthetics and stability of the overall structure.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are assembled to form a cylindrical three-dimensional structure, and the two end surfaces of the cylindrical three-dimensional structure respectively form a base 123 and a groove portion 11. The groove portion 11 can be used for the portable device 2 to extend into and perform payment interaction.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the cylindrical three-dimensional structure formed by the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 is in the shape of a curved tube with a tube mouth gradually shrinking in the direction away from the base 123, and the corresponding bending angle is θ, 45≤θ≤90°.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, at the same thickness, the surface area of ​​the first shell 121 is greater than the surface area of ​​the second shell 122, and the first shell 121 serves as a relatively larger side shell 10 of the cylindrical three-dimensional structure, and at least a partial area of ​​the first shell 121 forms the top of the payment interaction device 1 away from the base 123 to cover the communication module 20 and the control module inside the shell 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the shell 10 includes a bearing surface 13 for abutting against a table top, and the groove portion 11 has a groove opening 111 and a groove body 112 connected to the groove opening 111, wherein the angle between the inclination direction of the groove opening 111 and the horizontal direction is α, 45≤α≤90°; and the direction of the groove opening 111 is away from the bearing surface 13 of the shell 10.

[0054] The direction of the groove opening 111 in this embodiment is within the range from horizontal to 45° oblique direction, and is away from the bearing surface 13 of the shell 10, so that the user can directly insert the portable device 2 into the groove 11a in a horizontal direction to complete the payment interaction, and avoid the situation where the opening direction of the groove 11a is downward, which will make it inconvenient for the user to insert or extend the handheld device. Therefore, the user experience can be improved and payment interaction between the user and the payment interaction device 1 is facilitated.

[0055] In some embodiments, the angle α between the inclined direction of the groove opening 111 and the horizontal direction may be 45°, 60°, 75° or 90°.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the inclined direction of the groove body 112 and the horizontal direction is β, 0≤β≤15°. This facilitates the portable device 2 to extend from the groove opening 111 into the groove body 112 to realize payment interaction, so as to conform to the inertial action direction of the hand-held direction, and facilitate quick payment interaction.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the payment interaction device 1 further includes a signal light 30. The signal light 30 is disposed on the housing 10 and connected to the control module. The signal light 30 is used to represent light information, which includes at least one of the following information: frequency information, on / off information, and color information.

[0058] In this embodiment, the payment interaction device 1 is further provided with a signal light 30. In actual application scenarios, corresponding information can be conveyed to the user during the payment interaction process by controlling the flashing time, flashing frequency and flashing color of the signal light 30. 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.

[0059] It should be noted that the light information may include only one or a combination of frequency information, on / off information, and color information. In one example, the light information includes frequency information and on / off information. In another example, the light information includes on / off information and color information. The art can be flexibly designed according to actual conditions.

[0060] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the signal light 30 can be set on the top of the housing 10, and the number of signal lights 30 can be one. In this case, the overall form of the payment interaction device 1 presents a unicorn form, simulating the animal form to enhance the user's memory point and enhance the fun interaction. The number of signal lights 30 can also be two, and the overall form of the payment interaction device 1 presents a two-horned beast form, which can simulate different animal forms in the real world, which is more eye-catching and provides users with more choices, which is conducive to improving the popularity of data interaction devices among user groups and increasing the transaction ratio.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the communication module 20 is in a payment interaction preparation state, the light information displayed by the signal light 30 is the first light information; when the communication module 20 is in a payment interaction completion state, the light information displayed by the signal light 30 is the second light information; wherein, the first light information and the second light information are different.

[0062] The signal light 30 added to the payment interaction device 1 in this embodiment can be linked with the communication module 20 for control, specifically, the control module is respectively connected to the signal light 30 and the communication module 20. When the control module turns on the payment interaction function of the communication module 20 under remote control or direct contact control, the control module can synchronously control the communication module 20 to be in a payment interaction preparation state. At this time, the signal light 30 can remind the user that the payment interaction device 1 has entered the payment interaction preparation state by displaying the first light information, and the user can insert the portable device 2 into the groove 11a to perform payment interaction with the communication module 20. When the payment interaction is completed, the control module can control the signal light 30 to display the second light information to remind the user that the payment interaction has been completed, and the portable device 2 can be pulled out. This embodiment uses different light information to convey corresponding information to the user, making the payment interaction process more efficient and quick.

[0063] It should be noted that the first light information and the second light information are different specifically include situations other than the first light information and the second light information are exactly the same. For example, in one example, the first light information and the second light information are both frequency information, but the frequency of the first light information and the frequency of the second light information are different, in which case the first light information and the second light information are different. Similarly, in another example, the first light information and the second light information are both color information, but the colors of the first light information and the second light information are different, in which case the first light information and the second light information are different. In yet another example, the first light information and the second light information are both frequency information and the frequencies of the first light information and the second light information are exactly the same, in which case the first light information and the second light information are the same.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, in the direction perpendicular to the base 123, the ratio between the height h1 of the signal light 30 and the height h2 of the payment interaction device 1 is 1:8 to 1:10. In this embodiment, the height h1 of the signal light 30 is one eighth to one tenth of the height h2 of the payment interaction device 1. Figure 6 As shown, along the direction parallel to the base 123, the ratio between the width x1 of the signal lamp 30 and the width x2 of the base 123 is 1:4 to 1:6. The layout of the overall structure can be balanced, the height occupied by the signal lamp 30 is small, and the shape of the animal horn can be more vividly simulated. The signal lamp 30 is relatively small in size, and is more delicate and exquisite in overall visual angle, which conforms to the public aesthetics.

[0065] In one example, the height of the signal light 30 is one ninth of the height of the payment interaction device 1. Specifically, the height of the payment interaction device 1 is 135 mm, and the height of the signal light 30 is 15 mm. The width x1 of the base 123 is 4.8 times the width x2 of the signal light 30. Specifically, the width of the base 123 is 120 mm, and the width x2 of the signal light 30 is 25 mm. In some embodiments, the base 123 is circular, the width of the base 123 is the diameter of the base 123, the signal light 30 is cone-shaped, and the width of the signal light 30 is the bottom diameter of the cone.

[0066] In some embodiments, during a specific interaction process, such as Figure 7 As shown, the working mode of the signal light 30 is: after receiving the payment interaction instruction from the remote control end, the control module controls the intermittent opening and closing of the signal light 30 to remind the user that the payment interaction can be carried out; after the control module controls the payment interaction between the communication module 20 and the portable device 2, the control module controls the intermittent opening and closing of the signal light 30 to remind the user that the payment interaction has been completed.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the groove body 112 includes a first groove section 1121 and a second groove section 1122 extending in sequence in the recessed direction, and the diameter of the first groove section 1121 on the side close to the second groove section 1122 is smaller than the diameter of the first groove section 1121 on the side away from the second groove section 1122. In this embodiment, the diameter of the first groove section 1121 on the side away from the second groove section 1122 is larger, which is convenient for guiding the user to extend the portable device 2 into the groove 11a for data interaction.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first groove segment 1121 gradually shrinks in the direction from the first groove segment 1121 to the second groove segment 1122, so that the side of the groove portion 11 close to the portable device 2 presents a smooth curved surface, avoiding the formation of a sharp angle between the side of the opening of the groove 11a and the surface of the shell 10, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by bumps when the portable device 2 is inserted into the groove 11a.

[0069] In some embodiments, the ratio between the height of the groove portion 11 and the height of the payment interaction device 1 is 3:1 to 2:1. Figure 3 As shown, the height h3 of the groove portion 11 is 47 mm, and the height h2 of the payment interaction device 1 is 135 mm. By rationalizing the space occupied by the groove portion 11, the overall image is more popular with users.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the height h4 of the second groove section 1122 is greater than 10 mm. In one example, the height h4 of the second groove section 1122 is 20 mm. When the portable device 2 is a mobile phone, the groove portion 11 can provide enough space for the mobile phone to extend into the groove 11a for payment interaction.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the payment interaction device 1 further includes an illumination lamp 60 ; the illumination lamp 60 is disposed in the housing 10 and connected to the control module; a light-transmitting area is disposed in the second groove section 1122 of the groove portion 11 .

[0072] The lighting lamp 60 in this embodiment can be arranged above the second groove 11a section and connected to the control module. During the payment interaction process, the lighting lamp 60 can illuminate the groove 11a to facilitate the user to estimate the depth of the groove 11a so as to extend the portable device 2 to an appropriate depth. At the same time, the lighting lamp 60 can illuminate the screen and the dynamic interface of the portable device 2.

[0073] In some embodiments, the lighting lamp 60 is an LED lamp.

[0074] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting area may be made of a light-transmitting material. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting area is provided with a light-transmitting hole (not shown in the figure) to further improve the light transmittance.

[0075] In some embodiments, the lighting lamp 60 is used to represent lighting information. The lighting information includes first lighting information and second lighting information. When the lighting lamp 60 displays the first lighting information, the communication module 20 is in a payment interaction preparation state; when the lighting lamp 60 displays the second lighting information, the communication module 20 is in a payment interaction completion state, wherein the first lighting information and the second lighting information are different. In this embodiment, the lighting information of the lighting lamp 60 can also be used as representation information representing the payment interaction state, so as to remind the user when interacting with the payment interaction device 1, and at the same time, it can also enhance the user interaction experience to a certain extent, thereby improving the transaction ratio.

[0076] In some embodiments, the payment interaction device 1 also includes a voice broadcast module (not shown in the figure), which is arranged in the shell 10 and connected to the control module. The first groove section 1121 and / or the second groove section 1122 of the groove portion 11 are provided with a sound outlet 40.

[0077] Furthermore, in some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the first groove section 1121 of the groove portion 11 is provided with a sound outlet 40, so when the voice broadcast module plays the voice information, the user facing the payment interaction device 1 can directly receive the voice information transmitted to the user, and the sound transmission loss is small and thus louder, which is easier to attract the user's attention to receive the payment interaction reminder. In other embodiments, the second groove section 1122 of the groove portion 11 is provided with a sound outlet 40, so that the sound received deeper inside the groove 11a can form a reverberation in the narrow space formed by the groove 11a, making the sound more three-dimensional, enhancing the sound effect, and improving the user experience.

[0078] In some embodiments, the payment interaction device 1 also includes a voice broadcast module (not shown in the figure), which is arranged in the shell 10 and connected to the control module. The voice broadcast module is used to play voice broadcast information. When the communication module is in the payment interaction preparation state, the voice information played by the voice broadcast information is the first voice information; when the communication module is in the payment interaction completion state, the voice information played by the voice broadcast information is the second voice information; wherein, the first voice information and the second voice information are different.

[0079] The voice broadcast module in this embodiment can output voice information to remind the user that the payment interaction device 1 is in the payment interaction preparation state or remind the user that the payment interaction process has been completed. In actual applications, the volume of the voice information can be further adjusted according to the actual application scenario.

[0080] In some embodiments, the voice broadcast module can be further combined with the signal light 30 in the aforementioned embodiment to simultaneously remind the user to insert the portable device 2 into the groove 11a or extend it out of the groove 11a through the two information transmission paths of vision and hearing. For example, in the mobile payment scenario, when the control module receives the payment interaction instruction from the remote control end, the control module controls the voice broadcast module to play: "Please pay xx yuan, unlock the mobile phone with the screen facing up, and stick it to pay." At the same time, the signal light 30 flashes to remind the user to insert the portable device 2 into the groove 11a for mobile payment. When the payment is completed, the control module controls the voice broadcast module to play: "XX yuan has been received by a certain app, welcome to come again", and at the same time, the signal light 30 flashes to remind the user that the payment has been completed. At this time, the interface of the portable device 2 will also display the payment completion dynamic interface.

[0081] In some embodiments, the voice information of the voice broadcast module can further cooperate with the lighting information of the lighting lamp 60 and the light information of the signal lamp 30 in the aforementioned embodiments to interact with the user, which can further enhance the fun of the payment interaction device 1.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the payment interaction device 1 further includes a flexible protective layer 50. The flexible protective layer 50 is disposed on a side of the housing 10 close to the portable device 2 and is located in the groove 11a.

[0083] In this embodiment, a flexible protective layer 50 is coated on the housing 10 where the groove 11a is located. Compared with the housing 10 usually made of hard materials such as plastic, when the portable device 2 extends into the groove 11a, the flexible protective layer 50 can further protect the portable device 2 and avoid damage to the portable device 2 due to collisions.

[0084] In one example, if Fig. 9 As shown, the flexible protective layer 50 is made of soft silicone cloth.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the sound hole 40 in the aforementioned embodiment can be arranged in the area where the shell 10 is covered by the flexible protective layer 50. The flexible protective layer 50 blocks the sound hole 40 and prevents the sound from being blocked by the hard shell 10. The flexible protective layer 50 can also prevent dust from falling into the interior of the shell 10 through the sound hole 40, causing internal dust accumulation that is difficult to clean.

[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 includes a bearing surface 13 for abutting against a table, and the communication module 20 is disposed on a side of the groove 11 a close to the bearing surface 13 .
