Google has added a new tool that permits Android users to create digital versions of many kinds of identification (ID) cards and event passes for device wallets .

谷歌添加了一个新工具,允许 Android 用户为设备钱包创建多种身份 (ID) 卡和事件通行证的数字版本。

The tool is part of the Google Wallet app . It was first announced in May along with other changes to the latest operating system, Android 15 . The change is explained on a Google Wallet help website. The tool is now available for Android users in the United States who have the latest update of Google Wallet.

该工具是 Google 电子钱包应用程序的一部分。它于 5 月份首次宣布,同时还对最新操作系统 Android 15 进行了其他更改。 Google 电子钱包帮助网站上解释了这一变化。该工具现已可供拥有最新 Google 钱包更新的美国 Android 用户使用。

Digital wallets are designed to permit users to save non-physical versions of credit cards, personal IDs, membership passes and event tickets to their smartphones or other devices. Credit cards in wallets are linked directly to the banks that offer them and can be used to pay for things just like with a physical credit card.

数字钱包旨在允许用户将非实体版本的信用卡、个人身份证、会员通行证和活动门票保存到智能手机或其他设备上。钱包中的信用卡直接与提供信用卡的银行相连,可以像实体信用卡一样用于支付。

The use of digital wallets has expanded over the years as people depend more on digital IDs and other documents. Supporters say this reduces the need to carry a lot of cards in a physical wallet.

多年来,随着人们越来越依赖数字身份证和其他文件,数字钱包的使用不断扩大。支持者表示,这减少了在实体钱包中携带大量银行卡的需要。

Until now, Google Wallet divided its digital document offerings into categories . Examples of these categories would be payment or gift cards, transportation passes for bus, train or air travel as well as official IDs.

到目前为止,谷歌钱包将其数字文档产品分为几类。这些类别的示例包括支付卡或礼品卡、公共汽车、火车或航空旅行的交通卡以及官方身份证件。

Google’s new tool is designed to permit device users to easily add many more kinds of documents to its Wallet service. These could include the kinds of passes many people carry in their physical wallets, such as gym memberships and medical or insurance cards.

谷歌的新工具旨在允许设备用户轻松地将更多种类的文档添加到其电子钱包服务中。这些可能包括许多人在实体钱包中携带的各种通行证,例如健身房会员卡和医疗卡或保险卡。

These digital versions can be created by the user taking a picture of the physical document or by doing a screen capture of a digital version from a device. Some documents have an electronic barcode or QR code that can be entered into the Wallet app.

这些数字版本可以通过用户拍摄物理文档的照片或通过从设备对数字版本进行屏幕截图来创建。某些文档具有可以输入电子钱包应用程序的电子条形码或二维码。

Google Wallet then uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to use information from the photo to create a new digital pass.

然后,Google 钱包使用人工智能 (AI) 技术,利用照片中的信息创建新的数字通行证。

The process of creating these digital documents is similar to adding new documents to Google Wallet. Users open the app and then click on “Add to Google Wallet (+).” The app then gives users a choice of what kind of card or pass to create. These include groups like “Payment Card,” “Transit Pass” or “ID Card.”

创建这些数字文档的过程类似于向 Google 钱包添加新文档。用户打开应用程序,然后单击“添加到 Google 钱包 (+)”。然后,该应用程序让用户选择要创建哪种卡或通行证。其中包括“支付卡”、“交通卡”或“身份证”等组。

The new Google Wallet has a new category, called “Everything Else.” This offering was created to permit users to make digital copies of just about any card, pass or document they want to keep in their devices.

新的谷歌钱包有一个新类别,称为“其他一切”。创建此产品的目的是允许用户制作他们想要保存在设备中的几乎任何卡、通行证或文档的数字副本。

Google offers additional security steps to users storing official documents on Android devices. These “private passes” can also be added to Google Wallet. Google says data contained in official digital documents is only saved on the device as an extra security measure.

Google 为在 Android 设备上存储官方文档的用户提供了额外的安全措施。这些“私人通行证”也可以添加到谷歌钱包中。谷歌表示,官方数字文档中包含的数据仅保存在设备上,作为额外的安全措施。

People in some American states can create a digital ID to be used to officially prove their identity. Google explains that this service is currently only available in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Maryland

美国一些州的人们可以创建一个数字身份证,用于正式证明自己的身份。谷歌解释说,这项服务目前仅在亚利桑那州、科罗拉多州、佐治亚州和马里兰州提供

There is a process users must follow to have their digital IDs verified by each state. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) even accepts this form of state ID at many major U.S. airports .

用户必须遵循一个流程才能让每个州验证其数字身份证。美国运输安全管理局 (TSA) 甚至在美国许多主要机场接受这种形式的州身份证。

Online technology website Android Authority recently reported Google Wallet will soon be equipped to also create digital versions of American passports. To create this official digital document, users would need to be holders of a U.S. government issued e-Passport .

在线技术网站 Android Authority 最近报道称,谷歌钱包很快将能够创建美国护照的数字版本。要创建此官方数字文档,用户需要持有美国政府颁发的电子护照。

The online publication said one of its writers discovered the Google Wallet passport is still in development at Google. Android Authority noted that having a passport saved in Google Wallet might remove the need to present an actual passport in some cases. However, the digital version is not designed to replace the physical passport, which the user should continue to carry.

该在线出版物称,其一位作者发现谷歌钱包护照仍在开发中。 Android Authority 指出,将护照保存在 Google 钱包中可能会在某些情况下无需出示实际护照。然而,数字版本并不是为了取代实体护照,用户应继续携带实体护照。
