PS5手柄要变刷卡机?索尼新专利曝光

索尼新专利显示,PS5手柄未来或能读取信用卡、手机和礼品卡完成付款,免去手动输入卡号的麻烦。
你有没有想过,有一天买游戏不用再对着主机一个字一个字地敲信用卡号,而是把手里的DualSense手柄当成刷卡机?
索尼互动娱乐(SIE)最近公开了一项PlayStation相关新专利,描述的正是这样一套系统:让游戏控制器充当“付款信息中介”。简单说,玩家只要把信用卡、智能手机甚至礼品卡靠近PlayStation手柄,手柄就能读取付款信息并传给主机,省去在主机上逐字输入信用卡资料的麻烦。
这项专利名为“Video Game Controller-Driven Information Transfer”,最早于2025年3月提出申请,2026年9月17日正式公开,之后被外媒Dexerto发现并报道。
根据专利内容,PlayStation手柄会扮演付款方式与家用游戏主机之间的桥梁。当玩家购买游戏、游戏内货币或追加内容时,PS5会要求提供付款信息,玩家再把信用卡或手机靠近手柄,手柄读取相关信息后传送到主机完成付费处理。SIE列出的通讯方式包括NFC与Bluetooth,所以除了实体信用卡,也可能支持通过智能手机传送付款信息。至于是否仍需登录PlayStation账号才能完成交易,专利目前并未说明。
专利文件还提到“信用卡或礼品卡”都可以作为信息来源。其中一张示意图展示了礼品卡被手柄识别后,主机画面显示“Gift card received!”的情境——如果这项技术真的落地,以后给PlayStation Store储值就不用再手动输入一长串兑换码了。
示意图还描绘了另一种场景:玩家在零售店或游戏展览等场所试玩Demo后,主机询问是否购买游戏,玩家只要把信用卡或手机靠近手柄就能付款。SIE也在专利中提到,相同的传输机制可以用来传送玩家身份信息,或帮助访客加入多人游戏。
当然,有专利不代表SIE已经确定要把付款功能导入PS5或DualSense。尽管示意图采用了现有硬件,相关技术目前还只是探索中的方案。索尼过去曝光的专利——比如随使用程度改变按压阻力的控制器按键、利用AI自动把游戏过程做成视频、在游戏加载期间显示广告——目前也都还没实现。
那么问题来了:如果手柄真能一碰就付款,你会觉得方便,还是担心手滑买太多?你会希望这项功能实装吗?
