3. The electronic payment device according to claim 2 , wherein the assembly part defines openings for transferring sound.
4. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein:
when the electronic payment device is placed on a surface, the covered space is formed by the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the surface; and
the hollow space is in proximity to an intersection of the second sidewall and the surface.
5. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the housing comprises a bottom wall that connects the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
the covered space is formed by the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the bottom wall; and
the hollow space is in proximity to an intersection of the second sidewall and the bottom wall.
6. The electronic payment device according to claim 5 , wherein, from a side view of the electronic payment device, the hollow space forms a triangular shape.
7. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein:
a portion of the first sidewall extends beyond an intersection of the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and
the portion comprises a recess that accommodates at least a portion of the material plate.
8. The electronic payment device according to claim 7 , wherein a front surface of the material plate is coplanar with the first sidewall.
9. The electronic payment device according to claim 7 , wherein the material plate comprises a protrusion that fits into the recess.
10. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein the material plate and the housing are attached together through one of snapping, sealing, a sliding groove, a suction cup, or adhesion.
11. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic payment device:
is a code scanning payment device or a face recognition payment device; and
further comprises:
at least one processor; and
a memory that stores programming instructions, wherein the programming instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the camera to capture information associated with a two-dimensional code or a face of a user and to transfer the information to the at least one processor.
12. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the material plate comprises a two-dimensional code; and
the speaker sounds a notification to notify the user to scan the two-dimensional code in response to sensing that the user is in proximity to the electronic payment device.
13. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is at least one of an infrared sensor, a range sensor, or a laser sensor.
14. The electronic payment device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic payment device further comprises:
a light source facing the scanning window; and
the camera, the light source, and the sensor are disposed in a center position of the scanning window.
