BbTransact Design Concept 3

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Here's my third entry for the Multi-Function Reader challenge by Blackboard Transact: https://grabcad.com/challenges/the-multi-function-reader-design-challenge

! CONCEPT !
-------------------

This one combines aspects of my first and second designs entered.

PRIMARY CONFIG:
- Core unit where stand is part of its body, not separate.
- Angled display (with 7" diagonal screen) that pivots at certain intervals (not every degree), to where it can face attendant (default position) or customer (max rotation point).
- Speaker centered below display.
- Camera above screen [can also go on opposite (back) side].
- Detachable modules slide on & off from left and right side. I modeled one to house both the Mag Stripe and contactless/RFID readers, though these could instead be separate modules for default config.
- RJ45 and two USB ports are on the back. (Cables can neatly route to left, right, front, back or down the center, through hole in counter for example.)

ADD-ON OPTIONS/EXTENSIONS:
- Receipt printer would be a detachable module, using same design as that of the card reader.
- Second camera would be added opposite the first.
- Motion sensor can be added to front, back or both, next to cameras. (3D model only shows it to the right of front camera.)
- Braille keypad would be a detachable module.
- EMV compliant card reader would be a detachable module.
- Other modules possible. While only two attach to core, others can be standalone. All modules generally use same body design. (Modules could also have small magnets or snap features on sides and/or back where they could be connected together - not modeled.)
- Micro SD card slot in core unit below display. Hidden from general view, yet easily accessible by tilting display.
