Smart broadcast device
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.
1. A smart broadcast device, comprising:
a device body having 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 operable to maintain a persistent network connection, wherein the persistent network connection comprises a persistent wireless network connection, a persistent wired network connection, or both a persistent wireless connection and persistent wired connection with a payment service provider;
a processor operable to
query a binding status between the smart broadcast device and a user account registered with the payment service provider,
receive, from the transceiver, an external trigger signal sent by the payment service provider through the persistent network connection, and
generate a control signal for broadcasting a payment result audio; and
a speaker operable to output the payment result audio upon receiving the control signal from the processor.
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 between 20 degrees to 70 degrees.
5. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , wherein
speaker holes of the speaker are on opposite sides of the payment graphic code on the first surface.
6. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising an LED status indicator operable to emit a light upon receiving a light emitting control signal from the processor.
7. The smart broadcast device according to claim 6 , wherein the LED status indicator is further operable to emit the light in different colors each indicative of (i) the binding status between the smart broadcast device and the user account registered with the payment service provider, or (ii) a status of the persistent network connection with the payment service provider.
8. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more volume adjustment buttons for use in adjusting a volume of the payment result audio outputted by the speaker.
9. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising a Wi-Fi probe operable to search for end-user device information, wherein
the processor is further operable 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 to the payment service provider by using the transceiver.
10. The smart broadcast device according to claim 1 , further comprising an NFC transceiver operable to
search for nearby NFC-enabled end-user devices, and
upon having detected a nearby NFC-enabled end-user device, send information associated with the payment graphic code to the detected nearby NFC-enabled end-user device through NFC communication.
