The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt;

Referring to the first figure, a schematic diagram of an operation flow of the face recognition visitor management method of the present invention is shown. As shown in the first figure, the face recognition visitor management method of the present invention first includes the step S10, in which the operator or the electronic control device uses the image capturing device to capture the visitor to generate the visitor facial image for the visiting visitor. The image capturing device can be a webcam, a digital camera, a digital camera or an image sensor.

Next, in step S20, the preset face database is viewed by the electronic control device for face recognition processing, wherein the face database includes at least a plurality of face image data, and the face image data of the face database It can be established by the operator input or the guest input, or can be loaded into the face database by the visitor at the remote end through the network registration, and the face recognition processing compares the visitor facial image generated in step S10. Corresponding to the facial image data in the face database, it is determined whether the visitor facial image is stored in the face database. In addition, if the face database does not store the visitor's face image of the visitor, proceeding to step S30, the visitor profile of the visitor may be established in a hard disk, a tape or a memory, and the visitor profile may include the visitor's face of the visitor Image, the respondent unit, and the name of the visitor, the company, the phone, and the visitor; if the face database has stored the visitor's face image of the visitor, proceeding to step S40, displaying the visitor information by using the display device, providing an operator double confirm.

Then, in step S50, at least one authorization item, such as a visiting time and a visiting location, may be set for the visitor by the operator or the electronic control device, and the visiting location may include a pavilion, an area, a seminar. In step S60, the visitor himself/herself uses the biometric mechanism of face recognition or the electronic control device to perform the visiting purpose of the visitor, and the purpose of the visit may include access control, exhibition, and conference registration, thereby opening the fence, the bezel, the door lock or the door. For visitors to enter.

Next, proceeding to step S70, the operator or the electronic control device may be used to supervise the visitor status for continuously checking whether the visitor violates the authorized item, and if the authorized item has been violated, the notified unit is notified and reminded. For example, when the visitor has exceeded the authorized visit time, the phone or broadcast is used to inform and remind the visitor, or a period of time before the preset visit time, such as five minutes or ten minutes, by the operator or electronic control device using the broadcast system or The telephone voice system informs and reminds the respondent to pay attention to the visitor's visit time.

Then, proceeding to step S80, the visitor leaves, and finally in step S90, the visitor's visit information is recorded, and the visitor data in the face database is updated.
