Furthermore, when a user selects one of the payment methods, the different projection heights of the scanner and sensor on the vertical plane ensure that contactless payment is not triggered during QR code payment, thereby improving the payment efficiency of the payment device.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0026] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating 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 relationships and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] This application provides a payment receiving device 1, including a housing 11, a scanner 12, and a sensor 13. The housing 11 includes a main body 111 and an inclined portion 112 connected to each other. The upper surface of the inclined portion 112 extends along a single inclined plane. The scanner 12 is disposed at the end of the inclined portion 112 away from the main body 111 and is used for scanning code information for payment. The sensor 13 is disposed on the main body 111 and is used for sensing electronic devices for payment. A first angle A1 exists between the plane containing the inclined portion 112 and the plane containing the main body 111, and the angle A1 is greater than 0°. In a vertical plane, there is a height difference between the projections of the scanner 12 and the sensor 13.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the payment device 1 of this application has the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 respectively disposed on the inclined portion 112 and the main body 111, and the main body 111 and the inclined portion 112 are designed to have an included angle, so that the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 have different projection heights in the vertical plane. This design cleverly integrates QR code payment and contactless payment methods, making it convenient for users to choose, and also allows users to more clearly distinguish the corresponding areas of QR code payment and contactless payment, ensuring the adaptability and payment efficiency of the payment device 1. In addition, when a user selects one of the payment methods, because the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 have different projection heights in the vertical plane, the user's electronic device will not trigger the page for the other payment method due to being too close. For example, when a user chooses to pay by scanning a code, the electronic device will be placed above the scanner 12. Since there is a height difference between the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 in the vertical direction, there is a large distance between the user's electronic device and the sensor 13, thereby ensuring that the electronic device will not trigger contactless payment during the scanning payment process, thus improving the payment efficiency of the payment receiving device 1.

[0029] It should be noted that in the embodiments provided in this application, the scanning element 12 includes a scanning window, which is disposed on the upper surface of the inclined portion 112 and located at a position one-third of the way away from the main body portion 111. The sensing element 13 includes a near-field communication antenna, which is disposed inside the upper surface of the sensing element 13 and located at the center of the sensing element 13. The near-field communication antenna is used to receive near-field communication signals. In actual use, the user only needs to align the code information of the electronic device with the scanning window in the air to complete the scanning payment, or place the electronic device near the center of the sensing element 13 to complete the contactless payment via near-field communication. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, whether the user uses QR code payment or contactless payment, the electronic device can be in a relatively natural and comfortable position. This design optimizes the scanning angle and sensing angle, allowing the user to more naturally align the code information with the scanner 12 or place the electronic device on the sensor 13 when making payment. This reduces the user's operation of adjusting the angle of the electronic device and improves the convenience of the payment process and the user experience.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the projection position of the scanning element 12 is higher than the projection position of the sensing element 13 in the vertical plane.

[0031] In the actual use scenario of the payment device 1, when a user makes a QR code payment, they usually align the QR code information of their mobile phone or other electronic device with the scanner 12. If the distance between the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 is too close, the user may accidentally trigger the contactless payment function, such as the near-field communication function, during the QR code scan, resulting in payment confusion or payment failure. Furthermore, while a mobile phone can scan from a distance during QR code payment, contactless payment requires the phone to be placed against the surface of the sensor 13. Therefore, in this embodiment, the payment device 1 sets the projection position of the scanner 12 higher than the sensor 13. This design effectively avoids accidental triggering of the contactless payment function during QR code payment, reducing equipment malfunctions or payment failures caused by accidental triggering, improving the accuracy and reliability of the payment process, ensuring the independence and stability of different payment methods of the payment device 1, simplifying the maintenance and debugging of the payment device 1, and reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, this design makes the overall structure of the payment device 1 more reasonable, ensuring that users can complete both QR code payment and contactless payment in a more convenient and comfortable manner, thereby ensuring a better user experience.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the distance between the center position of the scanning element 12 and the center position of the sensing element 13 has a vertical component greater than or equal to 2 cm and less than or equal to 4 cm.

[0033] This design allows for greater independence between the scanner 12 and the sensor 13, ensuring that there is sufficient vertical spacing between the electronic device and the sensor 13 when the user uses QR code payment, thus preventing the triggering of contactless payment and ensuring a smooth user experience.

[0034] Specifically, the distance between the center of the scanning element 12 and the center of the sensing element 13 can have a vertical component of 2cm, 2.5cm, 3cm, 3.5cm, or 4cm, etc. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical component of the distance between the center of the scanning element 12 and the center of the sensing element 13 is set to 3 cm. This distance setting ensures the independence of the two payment methods while effectively controlling the overall size of the payment device 1, making it more adaptable. In other optional embodiments, it can be set to 2 cm or 2.5 cm, thereby further reducing the overall size of the payment device 1 and production costs; of course, it can also be set to 3.5 cm or 4 cm, thereby further ensuring the independence of the two payment methods, improving the recognition of the two payment methods, and making it easier for users to distinguish the payment method they want to use. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0035] Meanwhile, in an optional embodiment, the distance between the center position of the scanning element 12 and the center position of the sensing element 13 has a horizontal component in the X direction that is greater than or equal to 8 cm and less than or equal to 10 cm.

[0036] In actual QR code payment, if a user uses QR code payment, they can simply scan the QR code on the scanner 12 to complete the payment. However, if a user uses contactless payment, they need to place their phone or other electronic device against the sensor 13 to complete the payment. Therefore, the distance between the center of the scanner 12 and the center of the sensor 13 is designed to be between 8 and 10 cm in the horizontal X direction. This ensures the independence of the two payment methods and allows users to place their electronic devices in a more comfortable position when using either method, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0037] Similarly, the minimum distance between the scanner 12 and the sensor 13 can be 8cm, 8.5cm, 9cm, 9.5cm, or 10cm. Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the distance between the center of the scanner 12 and the center of the sensor 13 is set to 9 cm in the horizontal X direction. This distance ensures the independence of the two payment methods while effectively controlling the overall size of the payment device 1, making it more adaptable. Simultaneously, this design effectively avoids situations where the scanner 12 and sensor 13 are too close, requiring the electronic device to be extended further to receive payment, or requiring the electronic device to be held further away or higher to scan for payment. Therefore, this design allows users to place the electronic device in a more comfortable position when using either payment method, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the payment device 1 further includes a display 15 disposed on the inclined portion 112, the display 15 being located at one end of the inclined portion 112 near the main body portion 111.

[0039] The payment device 1 of this application also features a display 15 on the tilting section 112, allowing users to more intuitively observe the amount to be paid and quickly obtain specific information. Furthermore, due to the special design of the tilting section 112, the display 15 can face the user at an angle, ensuring a more comfortable user experience.

[0040] In optional embodiments, the specific structure of the display component 15 can be designed according to the actual work scenario and user needs. For example, the display component 15 may include an amount area and a details area. The amount area is used to display the amount to be paid, and the details area is used to display item information and unit price information. This design allows users to obtain specific information about the purchased items more intuitively and clearly, such as the quantity, unit price, total quantity, and total amount, thereby further optimizing the user experience.

[0041] Similarly, in optional embodiments, the display element 15 can also be designed as an information switching display mode. For example, when the payment device 1 is in a non-working state, the display element 15 is used to display device information. When the payment device 1 is in a working state, the display element 15 is used to display payment information. The device information includes at least one of time information, fault information, battery information, and payment status information; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0042] In other words, when the payment receiving device 1 is not performing payment collection, the display 15 can be used to display time, battery level, malfunction status of the payment receiving device 1, etc. When the user is making a payment, the display 15 can switch to displaying information such as the amount, quantity, and unit price mentioned above. After the user completes the payment, the display 15 can then be used to display information such as payment success or payment failure. It is evident that the design of the display 15 in this application is flexible and versatile, better providing payment services to users, ensuring user experience and efficiency during the payment process, and significantly improving the adaptability and practicality of the payment receiving device 1.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the angle of the first included angle A1 is greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 30°.

[0044] The design of the first angle of the payment device 1 in this application makes the inclined part 112 tilted relative to the main body 111, i.e., it has a certain tilt angle. This setting optimizes the scanning angle, allowing the user to more naturally align the code information with the scanning element 12 when scanning, reducing the need for the user to adjust the angle of the electronic device, and improving the convenience of scanning and the user experience. Furthermore, due to the design of the first angle, there is also a certain angle between the electronic device and the sensor 13 when the user scans the code, rather than the device being relatively parallel to the surface of the sensor 13, thereby further reducing the possibility of triggering contactless payment when scanning the code.

[0045] Meanwhile, the design of the first included angle A1 also optimizes the light reflection path, enabling the scanner 12 to more clearly identify the code information. Especially in environments with complex lighting, this design can reduce light interference and improve the scanning success rate. In addition, the tilted design of the scanner also makes the center of gravity distribution of the payment device 1 more reasonable, thereby reducing the possibility of the payment device 1 tilting or shaking due to collisions between the electronic device and the user during the scanning operation, and enhancing the stability of the payment device 1.

[0046] Specifically, the angle A1 can be 15°, 20°, 25°, or 30°, etc. In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the angle A1 is set to 25°. This angle setting can further optimize the scanning angle and improve the convenience of scanning and user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the size of the first angle A1 can be adjusted according to the specific usage scenario or user needs of the payment device 1. For example, in embodiments where the payment device 1 is mounted on a vertical wall, a relatively small angle of 15° or 20° can be used, or even 0°, 5°, or 10°; while in embodiments where the payment device 1 is placed on an inclined table, a relatively large angle of 30° or even higher can be used. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the angle between the plane where the main body 111 is located and the horizontal plane is a second included angle A2, wherein the angle of the second included angle A2 is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°.

[0048] Similarly, the design of the second included angle A2 also results in a certain tilt of the main body 111, thereby optimizing the contactless payment angle and allowing users to more naturally place the payment device against the area of ​​the sensor 13 when making contactless payments. This design reduces the need for users to adjust the angle of electronic devices or payment tools, improving the convenience and user experience of contactless payments.

[0049] Similarly, the angle A2 can be 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, or 10°, etc. In the embodiments disclosed in this application, the second included angle A2 is set to 5°. This angle setting can further optimize the contactless payment angle and improve the convenience and user experience of contactless payment. Of course, in some other embodiments, the size of the second included angle A2 can be adjusted according to the specific usage scenario or user needs of the payment device 1. For example, in embodiments where the payment device 1 is mounted on a vertical wall, a smaller tilt angle, such as 1°, 2°, or 3°, can be used; while in embodiments where the payment device 1 is placed on an inclined table, a relatively larger angle, such as 8°, 9°, or 10°, can be used. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0050] Overall, the payment receiving device 1 of this application, through the design of the first included angle A1 and the second included angle A2, makes the tilt angle of the tilting part 112 larger than that of the main body 111. This guides the user to place the payment device in the correct sensing area, helping the user to more accurately locate the payment area and preventing the user from placing the payment device outside the sensing area. This reduces the possibility of payment failure due to improper placement and effectively improves the payment success rate. In addition, this design also ensures that the scanning element 12 and the sensing element 13 have sufficient spacing in the height direction, so that there is no need for a long distance in the horizontal direction X, further improving the overall structural stability of the payment receiving device 1.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the payment device 1 further includes a base 14, which is vertically connected to the bottom surface of the main body 111. The base 14 also includes a first contour line 141 and a second contour line 142 disposed opposite to each other along the horizontal direction X. The first contour line 141 forms a first tilt angle B1 greater than 0° with the vertical plane; and / or, the second contour line 142 forms a second tilt angle B2 greater than 0° with the vertical plane.

[0052] refer to Figure 2As can be seen, the setting of the first tilt angle B1 causes the base 14 to form an inwardly recessed structure at the position of the first outline 141. This means that when the user uses the payment device 1 to make a payment, they can only see the structure of the sensor 13 and will not see the structure of the base 14 below. Therefore, from a visual point of view, the sensor 13 will form a floating design. This structural setting allows the user to more accurately locate the position of the sensor 13, improving the practicality and payment efficiency of the payment device 1.

[0053] The setting of the second tilt angle B2 causes the base 14 to form an outward protruding structure at the position of the second contour line 142. In combination with the structure of the tilt part 112 and the scanning element 12, the design of the second tilt angle B2 allows the base 14 to better support the housing 11, thereby making the overall center of gravity distribution of the payment device 1 more reasonable. This reduces the possibility of the payment device 1 tilting or shaking due to accidental contact by the user during payment operations, thereby further enhancing the overall stability of the payment device 1.

[0054] Of course, in some other optional embodiments, the first tilt angle B1 and the second tilt angle B2 can be designed according to specific usage scenarios and user needs. For example, in an embodiment where the center of gravity of the payment device 1 is more evenly distributed, only the first tilt angle B1 can be set; or in an embodiment where the payment device 1 is placed on a sloping platform, the user may find it difficult to see the structure of the base 14 from the position of the sensor 13, so only the second tilt angle B2 can be set, etc. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the first contour line 141 is located on the side of the base 14 away from the inclined portion 112, and the angle of the second tilt angle B2 is greater than the angle of the first tilt angle B1.

[0056] In actual use, users may accidentally touch the payment device 1 when using contactless payment. If the first tilt angle B1 is set too large, the stability of the payment device 1 will decrease, making it more prone to shaking, tilting, or collapsing. Since the base 14 is connected to the bottom surface of the main body 111, the structure of the tilting part 112 is in a suspended state. Therefore, the overall center of gravity of the payment device 1 is more biased towards the tilting part 112. Thus, the second tilt angle B2 needs to be set larger, so that the base 14 protrudes more on the side closer to the tilting part 112, thereby further adjusting the overall center of gravity distribution of the payment device 1 and enhancing the overall stability of the payment device 1.

[0057] Of course, in some other optional embodiments, the specific angles of the first tilt angle B1 and the second tilt angle B2 can be designed according to the specific usage scenario and user needs. For example, for the sake of the overall aesthetics of the payment device 1, the angles of the first tilt angle B1 and the second tilt angle B2 can be designed to be the same size, such as 10°, 15°, or 20°. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the payment device 1 further includes a placement member 16, which is disposed on the side of the base 14 facing away from the main body 111 in the vertical direction, and is used to place it on a table surface.

[0059] This application incorporates a placement piece 16 at the bottom of the base 14. When the payment device 1 is placed on a flat surface, the placement piece 16 lifts the base 14, preventing water from accumulating on the tabletop and entering the base 14, thus protecting the internal components. It also raises the height of the payment device 1, facilitating payment operations for the user. Furthermore, the placement piece 16 is made of materials such as silicone, which, when placed on the tabletop, provides anti-slip properties and prevents scratches and wear on the device, effectively improving the practicality and lifespan of the payment device 1.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, in the horizontal direction X, the outer edge of the base 14 extends beyond the placement member 16 and forms a protruding eave 143. The payment device 1 also includes a sound outlet 17, which is disposed on the side of the protruding eave 143 facing away from the main body 111 in the vertical direction.

[0061] The placement of the sound output port 17 allows the payment device 1 to broadcast corresponding information based on the payment information received by the scanner 12 and the sensor 13. This provides users with more intuitive feedback on the payment status, helping them confirm the correctness of the payment operation and quickly determine whether the payment was successful, thus reducing operational complexity. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the sound outlet 17 of the payment receiving device 1 of this application is set on the bottom surface of the protruding eaves 143. This design can not only better hide the structure of the sound outlet 17 and ensure the overall aesthetics of the payment receiving device 1, but also enable the sound emitted by the device to be reflected and amplified by the plane on which it is placed, thereby ensuring that the sound emitted is clearer and more uniform.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the payment device 1 further includes a control unit and an LED ring 131 surrounding the sensor 13. Both the sensor 13 and the LED ring 131 are electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit controls the LED ring 131 to flash according to the payment information received by the sensor 13.

[0063] The control unit and the light ring 131 are configured so that the payment device 1 can control the light ring 131 to flash according to the payment information received by the sensor 13, providing users with more accurate guidance on the payment area and more intuitive feedback on the payment status, thereby helping users to confirm whether the payment operation is correct and quickly determine whether the payment is successful, reducing the complexity of operation.

[0064] Similarly, the audio output port 17 of the payment device 1 can also be electrically connected to the control unit, which controls the content information broadcast by the audio output port 17 according to the payment information received by the scanner 12 and the sensor 13.

[0065] It should be noted that in the embodiments described in this application, the payment device 1 is designed with both an LED ring 131 and a sound outlet 17. This design can further enhance the user experience and ease of use of the payment device 1. At the same time, it also further enhances the interactivity of the payment device 1 during the payment process, and improves the device's compatibility and visual and auditory appeal.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the sensing element 13 further includes a distance sensor 132, which is electrically connected to the control element. The control element controls the flashing of the light ring 131 and the content information broadcast by the sound outlet 17 based on the distance information of the electronic device detected by the distance sensor 132.

[0067] The proximity sensor 132 in the payment device 1 enables it to dynamically adjust the flashing mode of the light ring 131 and the announcement content of the audio output port 17 based on the detected distance to the electronic device, providing users with more accurate payment status feedback. For example, as the user gradually brings the payment device closer to the sensor 13, the flashing frequency of the light ring 131 and the announcement content of the audio output port 17 can be adjusted according to the distance change, helping the user confirm whether the payment operation is correct. This design provides more accurate payment status feedback, optimizes the payment process, and enhances the user experience.

[0068] It should be noted that, for ease of observation, this application specifically includes... Figure 1 In this paper, the structure of the distance sensor 132 is shown on the surface of the sensing element 13. However, in actual applications, the structure of the distance sensor 132 can be hidden inside the sensing element 13 to ensure a more uniform overall appearance. Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the base 14 further includes an operating member 18 located on the side of the base 14 along the horizontal direction X near the inclined portion 112.

[0070] In actual use, the sensor 13 and scanner 12 of the payment device 1 are both placed facing the user, while the side of the base 14 closest to the inclined part 112 along the horizontal direction X faces the merchant. The payment device 1 of this application has an operating component 18 on the side facing the merchant, which allows the merchant to perform operations such as resetting, restarting, and adjusting the payment device 1 in a timely manner, thus improving the merchant's user experience and efficiency.

[0071] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the payment device 1 further includes an indicator light 19, located at the end of the inclined portion 112 away from the main body 111.
