[0014] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides an interactive device 100, which can be used for cashiering and identity verification, etc. For ease of understanding, as... Figure 1 The width direction of the interactive device 100 is defined as the X-axis direction, the length direction of the interactive device 100 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the interactive device 100 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0015] The interactive device 100 includes a housing 10, a palmprint module 20, a barcode scanning module 30, a segment code screen 40, a display screen 50, multiple buttons 60, a control module 70, a first anti-slip component 80a, a second anti-slip component 80b, and a speaker 90. The housing 10 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12. Along the Z-axis, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are fixedly connected, forming a receiving cavity 13. The first shell 11 includes a first mounting surface 111 and an operating surface 112. The first mounting surface 111 is connected to the operating surface 112, and both the first mounting surface 111 and the operating surface 112 face away from the second shell 12. The second shell 12 includes a second mounting surface 121, a first surface 122, and a second surface 123. The second mounting surface 121 is curved and faces away from the first mounting surface 111. The first surface 122 is connected to the second mounting surface 121 and is opposite to the first mounting surface 111. The second surface 123 is connected to the end of the first surface 122 away from the second mounting surface 121 and is opposite to the operating surface 112.

[0016] The first mounting surface 111 has a first mounting hole 1111 and a second mounting hole 1112, both of which communicate with the receiving cavity 13. The first mounting hole 1111 and the second mounting hole 1112 are spaced apart along the Y-axis. The first mounting hole 1111 is a circular hole, and the second mounting hole 1112 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the X-axis. The second mounting surface 121 has a third mounting hole 1211, which communicates with the receiving cavity 13. The third mounting hole 1211 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the X-axis. The first mounting hole 1111 is closer to the third mounting hole 1211 than the second mounting hole 1112.

[0017] The operating surface 112 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 1121 and button holes 1122. The fourth mounting hole 1121 is a square hole located on the side of the second mounting hole 1112 away from the first mounting hole 1111, and the fourth mounting hole 1121 communicates with the receiving cavity 13. There are multiple button holes 1122 located on the side of the fourth mounting hole 1121 away from the second mounting hole 1112, and all of the button holes 1122 communicate with the receiving cavity 13. The first surface 122 is provided with multiple sound outlet holes 1221, and the sound outlet holes 1221 communicate with the receiving cavity 13 of the outer casing 10.

[0018] The control module 70 is housed within the receiving cavity 13. The control module 70 includes a main control board 71, a battery 72, a keyboard switch 73, and a chip 74. The battery 72 is stacked on the main control board 71, and the keyboard switch 73 is stacked on the side of the battery 72 facing away from the main control board 71. The side of the keyboard switch 73 facing away from the battery 72 faces the multiple keyholes 1122. The chip 74 is integrated on the main control board 71.

[0019] The palmprint module 20, segment code screen 40, display screen 50, and multiple buttons 60 are located on one side of the interactive device 100 along its thickness direction, while the barcode scanning module 30 is located on the side of the interactive device 100 opposite to the palmprint module 20 and segment code screen 40. Specifically, the palmprint module 20 is mounted in the first mounting hole 1111 and electrically connected to the main control board 71 of the control module 70. The segment code screen 40 is mounted in the second mounting hole 1112 and electrically connected to the main control board 71 of the control module 70. The barcode scanning module 30 is mounted in the third mounting hole 1211 and electrically connected to the main control board 71 of the control module 70. The display screen 50 is mounted in the fourth mounting hole 1121 and electrically connected to the main control board 71 of the control module 70. The multiple buttons 60 are correspondingly mounted in the multiple button holes 1122. One end of each of the multiple keys 60 extends into the receiving cavity 13 and contacts the side of the keyboard switch 73 opposite to the battery 72. The other end of each of the multiple keys 60 extends out of the first housing 11 opposite to the side of the second housing 12. A speaker 90 is disposed in the receiving cavity 13 of the housing 10, and the speaker 90 is opposite to the multiple sound holes 1221.

[0020] The first anti-slip component 80a is a rubber component, fixed to the end of the first surface 122 away from the second surface 123, and is strip-shaped, extending along the X-axis. The second anti-slip component 80b is also a rubber component, fixed to the end of the second surface 123 away from the first surface 122, and is strip-shaped, extending along the X-axis. In this embodiment, when the interactive device 100 is placed on a table, the first and second anti-slip components 80a and 80b support the table, which is beneficial for preventing slippage.

[0021] In this embodiment, the palmprint module 20 is used to recognize the user's palmprint to complete payment or verify identity, while the barcode scanning module 30 is used to recognize barcodes and QR codes to complete payment or verify identity. The speaker 90 announces the recognition status of the palmprint module 20 and the barcode scanning module 30, facilitating human-computer interaction. The segment display 40 is linked with the palmprint module 20 and the barcode scanning module 30, displaying a first state or a second state. The first state indicates successful recognition by the palmprint module 20 or the barcode scanning module 30. The second state indicates failure to recognize the palmprint module 20 or the barcode scanning module 30. Specifically, the segment display 40 includes a first display area 41 and a second display area 42. The first display area 41 displays the amount; for example, the user can input the payment amount via button 60, and the amount will be displayed on the first display area 41 after input.

[0022] The second display area 42 displays a first symbol indicating the first state, and a second symbol indicating the second state. For example, the first symbol is a checkmark, and the second symbol is an exclamation mark. Understandably, when a user performs payment or identity verification using the barcode scanning module 30 or palmprint module 20, if the barcode scanning module 30 or palmprint module 20 successfully recognizes the information, the second display area 42 displays a checkmark to indicate successful payment or identity verification. If the barcode scanning module 30 or palmprint module 20 fails to recognize the information, the second display area 42 displays an exclamation mark to indicate failed payment or identity verification, prompting the user to perform a second operation.

[0023] In this application, by integrating a barcode scanning module 30, a palmprint module 20, and a segment code screen 40, the interactive device 100 can both scan barcodes and perform palmprint recognition, making its functions more comprehensive. Furthermore, the segment code screen 40 can display in real time whether the barcode scanning module 30 has successfully scanned a barcode and whether the palmprint module 20 has successfully recognized a palmprint, thus improving the interaction between the interactive device 100 and the user and enhancing the user experience.

[0024] The design of the second display area 42 displaying a first symbol for the first state and a second symbol for the second state makes the symbols more intuitive. Users can more easily determine whether the scanning module 30 has successfully scanned the code and whether the palmprint module 20 has successfully recognized the palmprint. In other embodiments, the second display area 42 may also display "Success" for the first state and "Failure" for the second state.

[0025] During product assembly, the palm print module 20, barcode scanning module 30, segment code screen 40, display screen 50, multiple buttons 60, control module 70, first anti-slip component 80a, second anti-slip component 80b and speaker 90 can be assembled into the second housing 12 firstly, and then the first housing 11 can be assembled into the second housing 12. This assembly method is convenient and helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 A first included angle α is formed between the first surface 122 and the second surface 123, which is less than 180 degrees and greater than 0 degrees. In this embodiment, the size of the first included angle α is 142 degrees. In other embodiments, the size of the first included angle α can be 140 degrees, 141 degrees, 143 degrees, 144 degrees, or 145 degrees, etc. A second included angle b is formed between the operating surface 112 and the first mounting surface 111, which is greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees. In this embodiment, the size of the second included angle b is 218 degrees. In other embodiments, the size of the second included angle b can be 216 degrees, 217 degrees, 219 degrees, 220 degrees, or 221 degrees, etc.

[0027] In this embodiment, the design of the first included angle α being less than 180 degrees and greater than 0 degrees means that when the interactive device 100 is placed on the table, the end of the first surface 122 away from the second surface 123 is supported on the table, and the end of the second surface 123 away from the first surface 122 is supported on the table. There is a large gap between the first surface 122, the second surface 123 and the table. When the user picks up the interactive device 100 from the table, their fingers can be inserted into this gap before picking up the interactive device 100, which is very convenient and helps to improve the user experience.

[0028] With the second included angle b greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees, when the interactive device 100 is placed on a table, the first mounting surface 111 will tilt towards the consumer to facilitate palm print recognition, while the operating surface 112 will tilt towards the staff to facilitate the staff to operate the buttons 60 and view the display screen 50.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The palmprint module 20 includes a main module 21, a light guide ring 22, a light source diffuser plate 23, and a cover plate 24. The main module 21 is disposed within the receiving cavity 13 of the outer shell 10. The main module 21 is equipped with a camera 211, a sensor 212, a first light emitter 213, a second light emitter 214, and a third light emitter 215. The camera 211, sensor 212, second light emitter 214, and third light emitter 215 all face the opening of the first mounting hole 1111. The light guide ring 22 is disposed within the first mounting hole 1111. One end of the light guide ring 22 is stacked on the main module 21 and faces the first light emitter 213, while the other end of the light guide ring 22 faces the opening of the first mounting hole 1111. The end face of the light guide ring 22 facing away from the main module 21 is flush with the first mounting surface 111. The camera 211, sensor 212, second light emitter 214, and third light emitter 215 are all located within the light guide ring 22.

[0030] A light source diffuser plate 23 is disposed within the light guide ring 22. The light source diffuser plate 23 is fitted over the camera 211 and the sensor 212. Understandably, one end of the camera 211 passes through the light source diffuser plate 23 and faces the opening of the first mounting hole 1111, and one end of the sensor 212 passes through the light source diffuser plate 23 and faces the opening of the first mounting hole 1111. One side of the light source diffuser plate 23 faces the second light emitter 214 and the third light emitter 215, and the other side of the light source diffuser plate 23 faces the opening of the first mounting hole 1111. A cover plate 24 is disposed within the light guide ring 22. One side of the cover plate 24 faces the camera 211 and the sensor 212, and the end face of the cover plate 24 facing away from the camera 211 and the sensor 212 is flush with the first mounting surface 111.

[0031] The system includes a camera 211 for capturing the user's palm print, a sensor 212 for recognizing the user's palm print as it approaches the palm print module 20, and a command sent to the main module 21, which then controls the camera 211 to capture the print. The first light-emitting element 213 is an RGB LED, and a light guide ring 22 directs the light from the first light-emitting element 213. The first light-emitting element 213 can emit different colors to interact with the user. For example, different colors can be used to prompt the user to adjust their posture or to indicate whether the palm print was successful or not, which facilitates human-computer interaction and improves the user experience.

[0032] The second light source 214 is a white LED bead, and the third light source 215 is an infrared fill light. The light sources of the second light source 214 and the third light source 215 can be diffused to the outside of the housing through the light source diffuser plate 23. The light sources of the second light source 214 and the third light source 215 can provide supplementary lighting for the camera 211 and the sensor 212. When the user swipes their palm, the sensor 212 and the camera 211 can capture clear images of the palm print and palm veins.

[0033] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
