Embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the utility model is described.

For the creation purpose of the utility model better is described; At first combine the existing POS system of Fig. 1 to describe; Existing POS system as shown in Figure 1; Comprise the POS terminal that is used to handle card data, the card reader that is used for carrying out to card read-write operation, card reader communicates through wired mode (for example Serial Port Line) with the POS terminal and is connected; Existing POS system generally also comprises the input equipment (for example external keyboard etc.) that is connected, is used for input parameter with the POS terminal; Comprise that also the POS terminal connects output device (for example display screen, printer etc.).Such POS terminal is difficult to expansion when when installing, disposing, also be not easy to arrange the space to install.

The course of work of general POS terminal system is following: card reader is carried out the operation of read-write card under the control at POS terminal, and accomplishes when the inferior transaction of swiping the card.Afterwards, card reader will be worked as the transaction data and send to the POS terminal.Operating personnel criticize clearing (generally carrying out before leaving offices) to the POS terminal, and at this moment the POS terminal sends to backstage account main frame with all transaction records and backstage account main frame is settled accounts and fund clearing.After the completion, these money are drawn on the bank account of trade company.

For on the POS system card reader that solves prior art and the POS terminal connection method defective, the utility model provides a kind of POS terminal system of the wireless card reading device of arranging in pairs or groups.

Like Fig. 2 is the first embodiment system architecture synoptic diagram of the utility model; In first embodiment of the utility model; The POS terminal system comprises POS unit 1 and card reading unit 2; POS unit 1 comprises a POS terminal 100 and a wifi module 101 that is connected with POS terminal 100 communication, and card reading unit 2 comprises a plurality of card reader 200 and the 2nd wifi module 201 of communicating by letter respectively and being connected with card reader 200; Present embodiment also comprises wifi route 300, and for POS terminal 100 and card reader 200 provide the wireless access route, a wifi module 101 is connected with wifi route 300 radio communications respectively with the 2nd wifi module 201.

In the present embodiment, data communication is realized at card reader and POS terminal like this: POS terminal 100 establishes a communications link through wifi module and wifi route with card reader 200, and POS terminal and card reader utilize the wifi route as wireless route again, sets up special-purpose connection; Utilize and set up good special use connection, the transmission that POS terminal and card reader realization read and write data.

A kind of improvement as present embodiment; A wifi route 300 can also be 100 services of many different POS terminals: through following mode (including but not limited to) identification is distinguished at the POS terminal of inserting: a) POS terminal 100 is provided with different IP addresses with card reader 200; For example the IP address setting with the POS terminal is 192.168.XXX.1; The XXX at different POS terminals is different, in order to mutual differentiation; A card reader (for example the IP address is the POS terminal of 192.168.1.1) of being arranged in pairs or groups in the POS terminal; Distinguish each other with 192.168.1.YYY; Being that the IP address is that the equipment of 192.168.1.12 is card reader, is that the POS terminal communication of 192.168.1.1 is connected with the IP address; B) distinguish identification through device name; The general equipment that inserts wifi can carry out the setting of device name; Can distinguish identification to POS terminal 100 and card reader 200 through different naming rules, and that concrete naming rule has is multiple, does not do here and give unnecessary details; C) data packet analysis: auxiliary through software; The transmission packet at reading card device and POS terminal is encoded and is redispatched to the wifi route; The wifi route is sent packet to all device request, and has only equipment matched ability unscrambling data bag, thereby has realized the differentiation identification of distinct device.

Like Fig. 3 is the second embodiment system architecture synoptic diagram of the utility model; Comprise POS terminal 100 and Duo Tai card reader 200; On POS terminal 100 and the card reader 200 respectively communication be connected first bluetooth module 102 and second bluetooth module 202, POS terminal 100 is connected through bluetooth module communication with card reader 200.

Preferably, first bluetooth module also connects one automatically to sign indicating number module 103, is used for search automatically and is connected card reader 200.Owing to can attempt connecting the equipment that all have Bluetooth function when Bluetooth communication is connected actual use; In order to prevent to produce the mistake transmission that communication connects and cause the confusion or the data of system between card reader; The bluetooth module 202 of all card reader is set to not, and the active request bluetooth connects; Be provided with automatically to sign indicating number module 103 in the POS end; Being used to manage POS terminal 100 is connected with the bluetooth of 200 of card reader: POS terminal 100 searches in bluetooth communications range when having other equipment (for example other POS terminal, various card reader), starts automatically to sign indicating number module 103, and whether the equipment that contrast searches is the connected card reader of presetting; If then connect, otherwise do not connect.Work when so can realize many POS terminals 100, various different card reader 200.Certainly, also can realize being connected between POS terminal and the POS terminal, to realize the connection needs of individual cases according to concrete situation.

Further, the POS terminal system of the utility model also can be used other different wireless communication protocols, with reference to table 1:
