Xiaomi AI Glasses Integrate Alipay Scan-to-Pay Feature
Xiaomi AI Glasses Roll Out Alipay Payment Integration
Xiaomi has released firmware version 1.2.31.0 for its AI glasses, introducing the highly anticipated Scan-to-Pay feature developed in partnership with Alipay. This update marks a significant step toward making contactless payments a standard functionality in smart wearable devices.
How the Payment System Works
The new payment system combines voice recognition with QR code scanning:
- Users activate payment by saying: "Xiaoai, scan and pay [amount]"
- The glasses' built-in camera identifies Alipay QR codes
- Voice confirmation completes the transaction
The entire process takes seconds and is designed for situations when handling phones or wallets is inconvenient.
Security Measures
Alipay has implemented its multi-dimensional risk control system to secure transactions:
- Real-time fraud detection
- Encrypted data transmission
- Voice authentication requirements
The partnership ensures each transaction meets financial industry security standards while maintaining convenience.
Industry Implications
With Xiaomi joining other Chinese manufacturers like Rokid and LeNiao Innovation in offering payment features, analysts predict:
- Payments becoming the first must-have application for smart glasses
- Accelerated adoption of wearables as primary computing devices
- New retail and service applications leveraging hands-free transactions
Key Points:
- Hands-free convenience: Complete payments without reaching for devices
- Voice-activated system: Natural language commands initiate transactions
- Industry trendsetting: Positions payments as core smart glasses functionality
- Security focus: Built on Alipay's established financial protections
- Market expansion: Follows similar implementations by competing brands
