The original intention of scientific and technological development is to serve the people, and to serve the people more quickly and conveniently is the mainstream melody of the current technological development. Take the supermarket checkout as an example. In the past, it used to be in line, waiting for the cashier to scan the product code one by one, and then pay out the cash to checkout. This was not only slow in efficiency, but also the cashier was also working hard. Later, it evolved to swipe card and scan two. Dimension code. Although the efficiency has been improved many times, it still cannot alleviate the trouble of queuing to pay. Until the opening of the unmanned checkout channel, the pressure on supermarkets to queue up for checkout was relieved.
How can we serve consumers more quickly and improve the efficiency of checkout waiting. Paying with face recognition is a very effective method. In March of this year, WeChat Pay launched the "Frog", a facial payment device. Aiming at the payment scenario of offline shops, it tries to trigger the fourth cashless payment revolution after POS machines, NFC, and QR codes.

Why WeChat Pay is targeting offline mobile facial payment? According to statistics from the China Payment and Clearing Association, this year, facial recognition has been widely used in mobile phone unlocking, identity verification, and payment, and has become a mainstream trend. At present, 85% of users are willing to use biometric technology such as face payment for payment.
"What payment method do you use?" "Swipe your face!" Such dialogue scenes are no longer a joke. Judging from the previous users' feelings, they generally have a good impression of paying by face. “With the face-swiping payment, you don’t have to worry if you forget to bring your mobile phone when you go out, if your mobile phone is out of battery, or have no signal.” A user told reporters: “When queuing for settlement, sometimes you are using your mobile phone to chat with friends, and you are paying with your face. It can prevent the mobile phone from switching to other programs, and it’s more convenient to leave after swiping your face than opening the mobile phone to scan the QR code.
However, just as when Apple first launched the face unlock before, some users expressed the same concern in terms of security: "What if you are walking on the street and someone is holding a display to show you, and the money is swiped away? "What if I have a twin brother or sister?" "If I fall asleep, what if someone else buys things with my face".
The recognition rate of face payment is as high as 99.99%, and WeChat also stated that the fault tolerance rate is one in a million. It is very convenient for consumers to use it. When consuming offline in supermarkets or restaurants, they can pay by swiping their faces on the device, even eliminating the need for mobile phones. But the first time you use it, you need to enter your phone number to verify your identity.
