In one embodiment, the physical interface is a POGO PIN.
In a specific implementation, when the base 101 and the POS host 102 are connected through the physical interface 1012, the POS host 102 can modify the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011.
In one embodiment, the POS host 102 has a POS interface menu (not shown), and the POS host 102 can modify the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011 to refer to: the POS host 102 may allow a user to operate the POS interface menu, and receive input information of the user through the POS interface menu, where the input information may be to adjust the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011 to modify the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011.
Taking the first wireless communication module as a WiFi module as an example, it can be known that the setting of the WiFi module (such as a WiFi access point) can be changed manually by the user through simple setting of the POS interface menu, which is convenient for the user to maintain and use.
In a specific implementation, the attribute information may include, but is not limited to, the following information: the name and/or password of the first wireless communication module 1011; IP address, etc. In other words, the user can complete the modification of the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011 by operating the POS interface menu, whereas the existing POS host generally needs to complete the modification in cooperation with a computer, and cannot simply rely on the POS interface menu to perform the modification.
In a specific implementation, the first wireless communication module 1011 and the second wireless communication module 1021 may use the same wireless communication technology for wireless connection, where the wireless communication technology may include: WiFi technology.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, the first wireless communication module 1011 and the second wireless communication module 1021 are generally WiFi modules.
In one embodiment, the base 101 converts the communication between the POS host 102 and the base 101 through a built-in WiFi module and an ethernet port to a WiFi access point into a WiFi wireless connection, thereby implementing a mobile application of the POS terminal.
In one embodiment, the base 101 may further include a network port socket (not shown) for connecting a network such as an ethernet network; the first wireless communication module may be coupled to the portal socket.
In one embodiment, the base 101 may further include a USB socket (not shown), which allows the base 101 to support a USB interface, and may be externally connected to other USB devices, such as a code scanning gun, a USB keyboard, and the like.
In one embodiment, the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011 is preset in the base 101. For example, the attribute information of the first wireless communication module 1011 may be written to the base 101 at the time of producing the base 101. For example, the first wireless communication module 1011 is a WiFi module, and the name of WiFi can be written into the base 101.
In one embodiment, the POS host 102 may further include a detection module (not shown). Through the detection module, whether the connection between the base 101 and the POS host 102 is successful can be detected.
In one embodiment, the POS host 102 may further include a power module (not shown). The power module supplies power to the POS host 102 and the base 101 for use by a user. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another POS terminal system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Compared with fig. 1, the difference is mainly that fig. 2 shows that the first wireless communication module 1011 in the base 101 is a WiFi module 1011; physical interface 1012 in base 101 is POGO PIN 1012; the second wireless communication module 1021 in the POS host 102 is a WiFi module 1021. In addition, fig. 2 shows other modules in the base 101, such as a detection module 1013, a power module 1014, a network port receptacle 1015, and a USB receptacle 1016. Wherein the POS terminal system 100 includes: including a base 101 and a POS host 102. The functions and actions of the respective modules can be referred to fig. 1, and are not described in detail here.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for connecting a POS host and a base in a POS terminal system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The POS terminal system may refer to the POS terminal system 100 shown in fig. 1, and will not be described herein. Fig. 3 assumes that the first wireless communication module 1011 and the second wireless communication module 1012 are WiFi modules.
Referring to fig. 3, first, in step 301, the base 101 is powered on, and the socket of the base 101 is connected to the ethernet;
next, in step 302, the POS host 102 is placed in the base 101;
then, in step 303, it is detected whether the POS host 102 is successfully connected to WiFi; if the connection is successful, ending;
otherwise, if the connection is not successful, go to step 304, i.e. detect whether the WiFi of the POS host 102 is successfully turned on;
if the WiFi of the POS host 102 is not turned on, executing step 3051, namely turning on the WiFi of the POS host 102 and executing step 3052, otherwise, if the WiFi is turned on, executing step 3052, namely connecting the base 101 with the POS host 102 through a POGO PIN; the communication between the base 101 and the POS host 102 is completed based on the POGO PIN1012 by presetting the WiFi chip in the base 101.
After step 3052, step 306 is executed, that is, the POS host 102 receives the WiFi attribute information, and in step 307, the POS host 102 connects to the base WiFi, the wireless connection is successful, and the process ends.
In summary, the POS terminal system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can extend the use scenario of the POS, and can be used even in the case of only an intranet, for example, in the case of a bad basement wireless network environment; and equipment and investment can be reduced, the cost of merchants is saved, and the plug and play function is realized.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
