Abstract

This disclosure relates to a smart wearable device and a contactless payment method, said smart wearable device comprising: an information storage unit, a control unit and a wireless communication unit, wherein, the information storage unit is used for storing information of one or more bank cards; the control unit is used for identifying gathering means based on information of the gathering means received by the wireless communication unit, reading bank card information from the information storage unit, and controlling the wireless communication unit to transmit the read bank card information to the gathering means for payment. By means of the technical solution of this disclosure, contactless payment operation can be performed through the smart wearable device, so as to reduce personal effects carried by the user, increase life convenience of the user, and enhance user experience.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A smart wearable device comprising: an information storage unit, a control unit and a wireless communication unit, wherein,
the information storage unit is configured to store information of one or more bank cards;
the control unit is configured to identify a contactless payment receiver based on information of the contactless payment receiver received by the wireless communication unit, read bank card information from the information storage unit, and control the wireless communication unit to transmit the read bank card information to the contactless payment receiver for payment.

2. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a switch unit for controlling on and off of the wireless communication unit.

3. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the information storage unit is a detachable memory card.

4. The smart wearable device according to claim 3 , wherein the wireless communication unit is a near-field wireless communication chip integrated in the detachable memory card.

5. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display screen for displaying payment-related information.

6. The smart wearable device according to claim 5 , wherein the display screen is a touch display screen, for adding, deleting and switching the bank card information stored on the information storage unit through touch operation.

7. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
brightness adjusting means for adjusting display brightness of the display screen of the smart wearable device based on ambient light intensity.

8. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an ECG pulse sensor for measuring a pulse velocity of a wearer and displaying the pulse velocity through the display screen.

9. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a PM2.5 sensor unit for detecting a concentration value of ambient PM2.5 and displaying the concentration value through the display screen.

10. The smart wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart wearable device is a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

11. A contactless payment method, comprising:
receiving, by a smart wearable device, information of a contactless payment receiver so as to identify the contactless payment receiver, wherein, the smart wearable device is arranged with a detachable memory card, and the detachable memory card stores information of one or more bank cards;
reading, by the smart wearable device, bank card information in the detachable memory card; and transmitting the read bank card information to the contactless payment receiver for payment.

12. The contactless payment method according to claim 11 , further comprising: receiving information of the contactless payment receiver by using a wireless communication unit.

13. The contactless payment method according to claim 12 , further comprising: controlling on and off of the wireless communication unit through a switch unit.

14. The contactless payment method according to claim 12 , wherein the wireless communication unit is a near-field wireless communication chip integrated in the detachable memory card.

15. The contactless payment method according to claim 11 , further comprising: displaying payment-related information through a display screen.

16. The contactless payment method according to claim 15 , wherein the display screen is a touch display screen, and the method further comprising: adding, deleting and switching the bank card information stored on the information storage unit through touch operation.

17. The contactless payment method according to claim 15 , further comprising: adjusting display brightness of the display screen based on ambient light intensity by using brightness adjusting means.

18. The contactless payment method according to claim 15 , further comprising: measuring a pulse velocity of a wearer by using an ECG pulse sensor and displaying the pulse velocity through the display screen.

19. The contactless payment method according to claim 15 , further comprising: detecting a concentration value of ambient PM2.5 by using a PM2.5 sensor unit and displaying the concentration value through the display screen.

20. The contactless payment method according to claim 11 , wherein the smart wearable device is a smart watch or a smart bracelet.
