0Erinome:Hello dear friends! Today we are going to talk about something new in elevators—you know, that "touch to get red envelopes" thing? I’m Erinome.
Enceladus:Oh, I’ve seen that! There’s a blue circle next to the ad screen. People touch it with their phones. But wait, is it safe? Like, will it take money from my phone by accident? That makes me a little nervous.
Erinome:Haha, don’t worry! Let me tell you. It’s a new feature from Focus Media and Alipay. You just touch the blue circle with your phone (need to open NFC first), and you can get cash red envelopes, Taobao coupons, or brand discounts. But it’s only for getting coupons, not paying!
Enceladus:Really? So no accidental deductions? How do they make sure?
Erinome:Good question! There are strict rules. First, your phone must be unlocked. Second, you have to hold it very close—about 1 centimeter. If your phone is locked, or you just pass by quickly, nothing happens. Oh, and the device only does "get coupons", not pay. So no money will be taken!
Enceladus:Wow, that’s a relief! But what if something goes wrong? Like, maybe a mistake with the money?
Erinome:Focus Media and Alipay said, "If you touch, we’ll pay!" They promise full compensation if there’s any money problem from this device. So it’s super safe.
Enceladus:Okay, money is safe. But what about personal information? Will it get my ID number or bank card info? That’s my biggest worry!
Erinome:No, no! NFC is just a tool, like Bluetooth or WiFi. It only helps trigger the coupon. It won’t connect to your door card, bus card, or get sensitive info like ID or bank numbers. Alipay keeps your info encrypted, so it’s safe in your Alipay account.
Enceladus:Oh, I see! So it’s just a simple way to get coupons, nothing else. How do you use it exactly? Is it hard?
Erinome:Super easy! Three steps: 1. Unlock your phone and open NFC. 2. Touch the blue circle (1 cm close). 3. Get the coupon! You’ll hear a "ding" sound, then your phone will open the page. Just click to get it, and it goes to your Alipay card bag. Done in seconds!
Enceladus:That’s so simple! So even if I’m in a hurry, I can do it while waiting for the elevator? No扫码 (saoma, scan code) or typing?
Erinome:Exactly! No扫码, no typing. Perfect for that short waiting time. And the coupons are real! Cash red envelopes can be used directly, no conditions. Taobao coupons work for shopping, and brand coupons can be used in supermarkets or restaurants downstairs.
Enceladus:Wow, waiting for elevators isn’t boring now! It’s like getting a little gift. How many cities have this?
Erinome:First, it’s in over 20 cities. They want to reach 400 million urban people. The goal is to let people get benefits in their free time and make people spend more.
Enceladus:That makes sense. So it’s good for both people and the economy. But some people might say, "What if I touch it by accident?"
Erinome:Like I said before, you need to unlock and get very close. So no accidents. A city in China even had someone complain, and they moved the device to higher places, so it’s harder to touch by mistake.
Enceladus:Oh right! So they fixed that. That’s good. So next time I see the blue circle, I can try it?
Erinome:Yes! Unlock your phone, touch gently, and maybe you’ll get a red envelope or coupon. Turn waiting time into a little happy moment!
Enceladus:That sounds fun! I’ll definitely try it next time I take the elevator. Thanks for telling me all this—I was worried before, but now I feel safe.
Erinome:You’re welcome! It’s always good to know the facts. Okay, that's it for today. Let's talk again next time. Bye!
Enceladus:Bye!
