Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing payment terminal devices require separate sub-devices for facial and code payments, leading to complex operations and increased costs due to the need for mode switching, which complicates user experience and hardware requirements.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that integrate facial and code payment functions into a single image capture device, using image recognition to determine the payment mode and perform the corresponding process, eliminating the need for mode switching and reducing hardware costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate sub-devices are used for facial payment and code payment, then both payment functions can be implemented, but the device complexity and operation complexity increase due to mode switching requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines facial recognition and code recognition functions into a single image capture device. The image capture device captures images that can contain either facial information or code information, and the recognition module performs both types of recognition using the same hardware, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining payment function versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The image capture device is designed to serve multiple functions: it can capture facial images for facial payment and capture code images for code payment. The recognition module is also designed to perform both facial recognition and code recognition, making the system universal and eliminating the need for separate sub-devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate sub-devices are used for facial payment and code payment, then both payment functions can be implemented, but the operation complexity increases requiring users to switch between payment modes
Solution Approach 1:
By merging facial recognition and code recognition into a single integrated system using one image capture device and one recognition module, the patent eliminates the need for users to manually switch between different payment modes. The system automatically determines which type of payment to perform based on the captured image content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic recognition and determination of payment type without requiring user intervention for mode switching. The recognition module automatically identifies whether the captured image contains facial information or code information and initiates the appropriate payment process, making the operation simpler and more user-friendly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate sub-devices are used for facial payment and code payment, then both payment functions can be implemented, but the hardware cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of separate facial recognition devices and code recognition devices into a single image capture device and recognition module. This consolidation reduces hardware costs by eliminating duplicate components while maintaining the ability to perform both facial payment and code payment functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The image capture device and recognition module are designed as universal components that can handle both facial images and code images. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized devices, thereby lowering overall hardware costs while maintaining payment function versatility.
