Following password payment, fingerprint recognition, and face-scan payment, hand-scan payment is coming!
As early as December last year, Tencent was approved as a patent called "Scanning Equipment and Payment Equipment". The patent involves the field of scanning technology and is a device that uses human palm prints to identify and make payments.
In August this year, Tencent successively applied to register multiple trademarks such as "WeChat Palm Swiping" and "WeChat Palm Swiping Service".
Recently, this technology has made new progress.
Yesterday, WeChat launched the "WeChat Palm Payment" mini program . It can be seen from the introduction of the mini program that this payment method can recognize payment by just reaching out to sense.
However, if you want to use WeChat's Palm Payment Function, needs to first enable in the corresponding device terminal, and then you can view the relevant payment dynamics in the mini program.
It is understood that some merchants in Shenzhen have been connected to the palm-sweep payment device for testing, and users can quickly complete payment through palm recognition.
comments from netizens for this new payment method are mixed.
Some netizens think that payment is more convenient and can pay with your hands. It is safer to brush your palms than to take off your mask when you scan your face.
Of course, some people also complain that Shuazhang Payment will collect user information, which involves privacy issues.
even netizens think that the payment for palm brushing is "dirty"...
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the device demonstration diagram that when payment for palm brushing, you only need to scan the palm pattern recognition area. It is an air-to-air operation and does not need to use your palm to stick to the device, so there is basically no so-called hygiene problem.
What do you think of WeChat’s new payment method?
