Abstract

The present specification discloses a smart broadcast device, including: a device body, wherein the device body comprises a first surface that comprises a payment graphic code; a transceiver, installed inside the device body and configured to communicate with a payment service provider through maintaining a persistent wireless and/or wired network connection with the payment service provider; a processor, installed inside the device body and electrically connected to the transceiver; and a speaker, installed inside the device body and electrically connected to the processor, wherein the processor submits a payment result audio signal to the speaker upon receiving an external trigger signal from the payment service provider by using the transceiver, wherein the external trigger signal includes data defining at least a portion of a payment result, and wherein the payment result audio signal drives the speaker to output payment result audio.

Claims (24)

1. A smart broadcast device, comprising:

a device body, wherein the device body comprises a first surface and a lower surface joined along a common edge at an acute angle, the first surface comprising a payment graphic code;

a transceiver, installed inside the device body and configured to maintain a persistent wireless and/or wired network connection with a payment service provider, wherein the persistent wireless and/or wired network connection is used at least for querying a binding status between the smart broadcast device and a user account registered with the payment service provider;

a processor, installed inside the device body and electrically connected to the transceiver; and

a speaker, installed inside the device body and electrically connected to the processor, wherein

the processor submits a payment result audio signal to the speaker upon receiving an external trigger signal from the payment service provider by using the transceiver and through the persistent wireless and/or wired network connection, wherein the external trigger signal includes data defining at least a portion of a payment result, and wherein the payment result audio signal drives the speaker to output payment result audio.

2. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first surface comprises a display screen, configured to display the payment graphic code.

3. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , wherein

a printout of the payment graphic code is attached to the first surface.

4. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , wherein

the acute angle between the first surface and the lower surface is from 20 degrees to 70 degrees.

5. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , wherein

speaker holes of the speaker are distributed on the left and right sides of the payment graphic code on the first surface.

6. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a USB interface, installed on the device body and configured to output power to charge an end-user device.

7. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an LED status indicator, installed on the device body and configured to output a corresponding light prompt based on a light drive signal output by the processor.

8. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising a volume adjustment button.

9. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a Wi-Fi probe, installed inside the device body and configured to detect end-user device information, wherein

the processor is further configured to encapsulate, according to a predetermined protocol, the end-user device information that is detected by the Wi-Fi probe, and report the end-user device information by using the transceiver.

10. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an NFC transceiver, installed inside the device body and configured to: when detecting an end-user device with an NFC function, send information associated with the payment graphic code to the end-user device by using an NFC technology.
