[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present application will be described clearly and completely here with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0037] If there are terms in the embodiments of this application that refer to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this application are used only for descriptive convenience and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a payment device comprising a base 10, a scanner 20, a sensor 30, and a base 40. The base 10 is used to mount the scanner 20 and the sensor 30. The scanner 20 is provided with a QR code for scanning by a mobile device to initiate payment. The sensor 30 is used to be brought into close proximity with a mobile device to initiate payment. The base 40 is used to support the entire payment device, stabilizing it on a work surface.

[0039] The base 10 can be truncated cone-shaped. It includes a base top 11, a base bottom 12, and a base side 13. The base top 11 and the base bottom 12 are disposed opposite each other. The base side 13 connects the base top 11 and the base bottom 12. The base 40 is disposed on the base bottom 12. In the height direction, the projection of the base 40 is located within the base bottom 12.

[0040] Please also refer to Figure 2 As shown, the scanner 20 includes a mounting portion 21 and a scanning portion 22. The mounting portion 21 is fixed to the top 11 of the base, and the scanning portion 22 is bent from the mounting portion 21 toward the bottom 12 of the base. The scanning portion 22 is provided with a QR code for mobile devices to scan. The sensor 30 is mounted to the mounting portion 21.

[0041] One end of the scanning unit 22 away from the mounting unit 21 is spaced apart from the base side portion 13. That is, one end of the scanning unit 22 away from the mounting unit 21 is spaced apart from the base side portion 13 by a certain distance.

[0042] The payment device provided herein utilizes a scanning element 20 and a sensing element 30 mounted on a base 10, enabling both code scanning and inductive payment. This increases the functionality and diversity of the payment method, improving the user experience. The inductive payment method 30 enhances user convenience.

[0043] In one embodiment, the scanning unit 20 is provided with a reinforcing rib 23 on the side facing the base 10. At least a portion of the rib 23 is located in the gap between the scanning unit 22 and the base side portion 13. Furthermore, the end of the rib 23 away from the scanning unit 22 is connected to the base 10. The provision of the reinforcing rib 23 improves the structural strength of the scanning unit 22. In other embodiments, the specific structure of the scanning unit 20 is not limited.

[0044] Please also refer to Figure 3 As shown, an operating area 130 is provided on the side portion 13 of the base, and the operating area 130 is disposed away from the scanning unit 22. In one embodiment, a lanyard hole 14 may be provided on the operating area 130. Both ends of the lanyard hole 14 pass through the operating area 130, and a lanyard can be inserted through one end of the lanyard hole 14 and exited at the other end to be secured to the operating area 130.

[0045] By providing the lanyard hole 14 , the payment device can be hung with a lanyard for use, making the use scenario of the payment device more flexible and improving the applicability of the payment device.

[0046] In one embodiment, the edge of the operating area 130 near the base bottom 12 is a straight edge 131. The area near the base bottom 12 is flat. The lanyard hole 14 is located at one end of the operating area 130 near the base top 11. The straight edge 131 allows the payment device to be attached to a support such as a wall, improving its stability and preventing the scanner 20 or sensor 30 from shaking, thereby increasing payment efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, the length of the straight edge 131 is greater than or equal to 10 cm and less than or equal to 50 cm. By properly setting the length of the straight edge 131, it is possible to balance the support strength and ease of use of the payment device. Specifically, the length of the straight edge 131 can be 34 cm.

[0048] If the straight edge 131 is too small, the support strength between the payment device and the wall or other supporting structure will be insufficient. If the straight edge 131 is too large, the overall size of the payment device needs to be increased in order to properly fit the electronic components inside the payment device, which reduces the convenience of use of the payment device.

[0049] In one embodiment, the edge of the operating area 130 near the base top 11 may be a curved edge 132. The operating area 130 near the base top 11 is curved. The ends of the lanyard hole 14 may be positioned opposite each other on the curved surface, allowing the lanyard to pass through the lanyard hole 14 in a straight line, reducing the difficulty of threading the lanyard and improving the ease of use of the payment device.

[0050] In one embodiment, an expansion groove 133 is provided in the operating area 130. A charging port 134 is provided on the bottom wall of the expansion groove 133. The projected area of ​​the expansion groove 133 is larger than the projected area of ​​the charging port 134 in the direction of its depression. Due to the larger area of ​​the expansion groove 133, it can accommodate a variety of charging cable sizes, improving the applicability of the payment device.

[0051] In one embodiment, the operating area 130 is provided with a wire groove 135 . One end of the wire groove 135 is connected to the expansion groove 133 , and the other end of the wire groove 135 extends to pass through an area projected from the base bottom 12 beyond the base 40 .

[0052] By providing the cable passage groove 135, the charging cable can extend through the base bottom 12 through the cable passage groove 135, making full use of the space on the base bottom 12 side. If the space on the operating area 130 side is insufficient, the charging cable can be placed in the cable passage groove 135, further expanding the application range of the payment device.

[0053] When the payment device of this application is hung for use, or when the operating area 130 is placed against a wall, the data cable can be connected to the charging port 134 using the cable groove 135 to charge the payment device. In other embodiments, the cable groove 135 may not be provided on the operating area 130. The choice of whether to provide the cable groove 135 depends on the specific usage scenario of the payment device.

[0054] In one embodiment, the operation area 130 is further provided with a plurality of buttons 136 for performing operations such as powering on and off the payment device and adjusting the volume.

[0055] Please also refer to Figure 4 As shown, the mounting portion 21 includes a mounting surface 210 facing away from the base 10. The scanning portion 22 includes a scanning surface 220 facing away from the base 10. In one embodiment, the end of the mounting surface 210 away from the scanning portion 22 is higher than the end of the mounting surface 210 closer to the scanning portion 22. Because the mounting surface 210 is tilted, the sensing element 30 fixed to the mounting surface 210 is also tilted, facilitating proximity sensing of mobile devices and improving payment convenience for users.

[0056] In one embodiment, the end of the scanning surface 220 close to the mounting portion 21 is higher than the end of the scanning surface 220 away from the mounting portion 21. The scanning portion 22 is tilted to facilitate mobile device scanning payment, thereby improving the payment convenience of users.

[0057] In one embodiment, the angle between the mounting surface 210 and the horizontal direction can be 12° to improve user payment efficiency. If the angle between the mounting surface 210 and the horizontal direction is too large, the sensor 30 will tend to be set vertically, forcing the user to hold the phone vertically to make a payment, which reduces payment efficiency. If the angle between the mounting surface 210 and the horizontal direction is too small, the sensor 30 will tend to be set horizontally, forcing the user to hold the phone horizontally to make a payment, which also reduces payment efficiency.

[0058] In one embodiment, the angle between the scanning surface 220 and the vertical direction can be 14.8° to improve user payment convenience. If the angle between the scanning surface 220 and the horizontal direction is too large, the user must hold the phone vertically to scan the code, which reduces payment convenience. If the angle between the mounting surface 210 and the horizontal direction is too small, the user must hold the phone horizontally to scan the code, which also reduces payment convenience.

[0059] In one embodiment, the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 is higher than the lowest end of the base 40. The scanning unit 22 is suspended, and only the base 40 needs to be abutted against the placement surface, which reduces the floor space required for the payment device and improves the compactness of the payment device.

[0060] In one embodiment, the height distance between the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 and the lowest end of the base 40 is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 100 mm. By properly setting the distance between the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 and the lowest end of the base 40, the compactness of the payment device can be improved. Specifically, the distance between the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 and the lowest end of the base 40 can be 40.22 mm.

[0061] If the distance between the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 and the lowest end of the base 40 is too small, the scanning unit 22 is suspended too low. Although the scanning unit 22 does not abut the placement surface, the suspended area is too small and cannot be utilized, increasing the required area of ​​the payment device on the placement surface. If the distance between the lowest end of the scanning unit 22 and the lowest end of the base 40 is too large, the overall height of the payment device increases, increasing the required height of the payment device.

[0062] In one embodiment, the height distance between the lowest end of the mounting surface 210 and the lowest end of the base 40 is greater than or equal to 50 mm and less than or equal to 150 mm. By properly setting the distance between the lowest end of the mounting surface 210 and the lowest end of the base 40, the user's payment experience can be improved. Specifically, the distance between the lowest end of the mounting surface 210 and the lowest end of the base 40 can be 104.8 mm.

[0063] If the distance between the lowest end of the mounting surface 210 and the lowest end of the base 40 is too small, it is difficult for the user to see the payment device and cannot immediately understand that the payment device supports multiple payment methods. If the distance between the lowest end of the mounting surface 210 and the lowest end of the base 40 is too large, the payment device is too high, making it difficult for the user to use the mobile device's proximity sensing or scan code payment.

[0064] Please also refer to Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 40 is provided with an arcuate surface 41 that is recessed toward the base top 11. The arcuate surface 41 is provided with a sound outlet 42. The sound outlet 42 is provided on the base 40 for ease of processing and manufacturing.

[0065] Furthermore, because the curved surface 41 is recessed toward the base top 11, a gap exists between the curved surface 41 and the work surface when the payment device is placed on the work surface. Providing the sound outlet 42 on the curved surface 41 prevents liquids and other debris on the work surface from entering the payment device through the sound outlet 42, thereby improving the security of the payment device.

[0066] In one embodiment, a label 43 may be provided at the bottom of the base 40 , and the label 43 is used to display information such as a device code of the payment device.

[0067] In one embodiment, the sensor 30 includes a near-field communication module for establishing a communication connection with a mobile device. The payment device also includes a sound-generating device, which is fixed to the end of the base 10 away from the sensor. The sound generated by the sound-generating device is transmitted outward through the sound outlet 42. The sound-generating device is used to provide a voice announcement of payment receipt.

[0068] By fixing the sound-generating device to one end of the base 10 away from the sensing element, it is separated from the near-field communication module, avoiding interference with the near-field communication module, improving the communication stability between the payment device and the mobile device, and improving the user's payment experience.

[0069] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included in the scope of protection of this application.
