Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

1 is a block diagram of an automatic boarding screening apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is a device capable of automatically performing a boarding screening task for an departure person at a boarding gate provided in an airport.

In FIG. 1, for convenience of understanding and explanation, in addition to the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100, a mobile machine readable passport (MRP) 10, an airline server 20, an ABS (Automatic Boarding System) 30 , The registration office server 40, the Justice Department server 50, and the monitoring server 60 are further illustrated.

The mobile MRP 10 is an apparatus for boarding screening by attracting a person who cannot receive automatic boarding screening through the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100. Those who are not eligible for the automatic boarding screening are 1) infants, 2) disabled persons, and 3) foreigners outside the administration / control of the Ministry of Justice.

The airline server 20 is a server operated by an airline and provides flight schedule information and a passenger list. Here, the passenger list includes the name, passport number, departure date and flight of the departure person who reserved the flight ticket.

The ABS 30 is a device that permits the departure of the departure board from the automatic boarding screening device 100 entered and entered the automatic boarding screening device 100 to board the plane. In addition, the ABS 30 collects a list of departures that have been boarded by the mobile MRP 10 and a list of departures that have been boarded by the automatic boarding inspection apparatus 100 and uploads them to the airline server 20. do.

The registration office server 40 transmits 1) passport bibliographic information, 2) fingerprint information, and 3) facial information about the departures obtained from the registration office to the Ministry of Justice server 50.

Passport bibliographic information can be obtained directly by the person in charge of the registration office or by reading the character / barcode printed on the passport according to the Optical Character Reading (OCR) method. The fingerprint information may be obtained by the person in charge of the registration office scanning the fingerprint of the departure person. In addition, the face information can be obtained by the person in charge of the registration office photographed the face of the departure person.

The registration office server 40 may be provided at a registration office located in an immigration office at an airport, or may be provided at a registration office located in another area (for example, downtown).

The judiciary server 50 supports the automatic boarding examination performed by the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100 by using the information received from the registration office server 40 and the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100.

The monitoring server 60 displays the situation in the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 photographed by the photographing apparatus provided in the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 and the face photo of the departure country on the display. By the monitoring server 60, the administrator can monitor the situation in the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 and can see the face photo of the departure.

In addition, the monitoring server 60 stores the situation in the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 and the face photo of the departure country to the storage medium, so that it can be displayed later.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 1, the automatic boarding evaluation apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is the exit management unit 110, the sensing unit 120, the speaker 130, the printing unit 135, the communication interface 140 ), A boarding judging controller 150, a user interface 160, an entry manager 170, a passport bibliographic information obtaining unit 180, and a photographing unit 190.

Passport bibliographic information acquisition unit 180 obtains the bibliographic information described in the passport of the departure. Passport bibliographic information acquisition unit 180 that performs such a function is provided with an LCD 181 and the MRP (Machine Readable Passport) 183.

The MRP 183 reads passport bibliographic information from an unfolded passport in accordance with an RF contact method, which is a kind of contactless reading method, or an OCR method, which is a kind of optical reading method. Specifically, 1) MRP (183) first reads the passport bibliographic information contained in the electronic chip embedded in the passport by RF reading method, and 2) the character printed on the passport if "reading by 1)" failed Obtain barcode bibliographic information by reading barcodes using OCR.

The MRP 183 transfers the read passport bibliographic information to the boarding judging control unit 150.

Representative cases where "reading by 1" failed are cases in which the electronic chip is not embedded in the passport (i.e., it is not an electronic passport), or a failure or abnormality occurs in the electronic chip embedded in the passport.

Therefore, when reading by 1), the MRP 183 reads only the area where passport bibliographic information is stored. The electronic chip contains facial information and fingerprint information in addition to passport bibliographic information of the passport holder, and the MRP 183 knows an address of an area where each information is stored.

Accordingly, the MRP 183 may read only an area in which passport passport information of a passport holder is stored. Passport bibliographic information includes a name, passport number, and passport expiration date. The amount of passport bibliographic information is much smaller than that of facial information and fingerprint data. Passport bibliographic information is text, while facial information and fingerprint information are images. Therefore, the time required for reading by 1) is short.

The LCD 181 is a display on which a message for guiding a user's action necessary for obtaining passport bibliographic information is displayed. The LCD 181 displays a guide message requesting the departure person to open the passport and place it on the MRP 183, and other guide messages useful to the departure person may be displayed.

The content of the message displayed by the LCD 181 is determined by the boarding review control unit 150.

The admission management unit 170 enters only the departure departure allowed in the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100. The entrance management unit 170 performing the above function includes an entrance sensor 171, an entrance gate 173, an entrance guide 175, an entrance gate control unit (GCU) 177 and an emergency entrance opening and closing unit 179. Equipped.

The entrance GCU 177 opens or closes the entrance gate 173 under the control of the boarding judging controller 150. As will be described later, the entrance gate 173 is opened only for the departure allowed.

In addition, when it is detected by the entrance sensor 171 that the departure person has passed through the entrance gate 173, the entrance GCU 177 closes the entrance gate 173. The entrance sensor 171 may be implemented as an optical sensor or an infrared sensor capable of detecting a departure person.

In addition, the entrance GCU 177 controls the lighting of the entrance guide light 175 to inform the departure of the departure. In detail, when the entrance gate 173 is closed, the entrance GCU 177 controls the lighting state of the entrance guide light 175 so that the guidance of the content prohibiting entry of the departure person appears. In addition, when the entrance gate 173 is opened, the entrance GCU 177 controls the lighting state of the entrance guide light 175 so that the guidance of the contents allowing the departure of the departure person appears. Alternatively, the entrance GCU 177 may be implemented to control the lighting state of the entrance guide light 175 to indicate that the entrance gate 173 is currently running or stopped.

In addition, the entrance GCU 177 controls the lighting state of the warning light 167 to be described later.

On the other hand, when the emergency key is mounted on the emergency entrance opening and closing unit 179, the entrance GCU 177 forcibly opens or closes the entrance gate 173. At this time, the entrance GCU 177 may forcibly open or close the entrance gate 173 according to the rotation direction of the emergency key mounted on the emergency entrance opening / closing unit 179.

Specifically, the entry GCU 177, 1) forcibly opens the entrance gate 173 when the emergency key is rotated clockwise, and 2) the entry gate 173 when the emergency key is rotated counterclockwise. Forcibly closes.

The photographing unit 190 and the user interface 160 are means for obtaining biometric information on the departure person, which is information required for boarding examination. In this embodiment, the biometric information about the departure person is assumed to be the face information and fingerprint information of the departure person.

The photographing unit 190 is a means for obtaining a face photograph of the departure person, and includes a recognition unit 191, a camera, and a sensor 193.

The camera and sensor 193 photographs the departure person when it is detected, and the recognition unit 191 recognizes and separates the face portion of the departure person from the picture taken by the camera and the sensor 193. In addition, the recognition unit 191 transmits the separated outgoing face photograph to the boarding examination controller 150. On the other hand, the image taken by the camera and sensor 193 is transmitted to the above-described monitoring server 60, the manager can be used to visually check the face of the departure person.

The user interface 160 is a means for obtaining a fingerprint image of the departure person and acquiring face information and fingerprint information from an electronic chip embedded in the departure passport.

The user interface 160 performing such a function includes a fingerprint scan unit 161, an RF reader / writer 163, a touch screen 165, and a warning light 167.

The fingerprint scan unit 161 scans the fingerprint of the departure country to obtain a fingerprint image, and transfers the obtained fingerprint image to the boarding judging controller 150.

The RF reader / writer 163 reads facial information and fingerprint information stored in an electronic chip embedded in the passport of the departure person by RF reading method. Meanwhile, the electronic chip contains passport bibliographic information in addition to facial information and fingerprint information of a passport holder. The RF reader / writer 163 knows the address of the area where the respective information is stored.

Accordingly, the RF reader / writer 163 may read only an area in which face information and fingerprint information of a passport holder are stored. On the other hand, the data amount of facial information and the data amount of fingerprint information are much larger than the data amount of passport bibliographic information. Passport bibliographic information is text, while facial information and fingerprint information are images. Thus, the time required for reading by the RF reader / writer 163 is relatively long.

The RF reader / writer 163 transfers the read face information and fingerprint information to the boarding examination controller 150.

The touch screen 165 functions as a display for displaying a message for guiding a user's action required to obtain biometric information of the departure person who has entered the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100.

To this end, the touch screen 165 includes 1) a passport for the departure, a passport to the RF reader / writer 163, 2) a finger to the fingerprint scanning unit 161, and 3) a camera and a sensor 193. A guide message will be displayed requesting you to watch the video.

In addition, the touch screen 165 may not only display other guide messages useful to the departure person entering the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 but also receive a specific request by the touch of the departure person.

The warning light 167 is turned on or off under the control of the entrance GCU 177. If there is a problem with the boarding examination and there is no problem, the warning lights 167 are implemented so that the administrators around the automatic boarding apparatus 100 may recognize this. You can do that.

The speaker 130 is a means for outputting a voice guidance message to be provided to the departure person under the control of the boarding examination control unit 150. Through the speaker 130, it is possible to implement to output a voice guidance message displayed on the touch screen 165.

The printing unit 135 outputs a label on which the name, seat number, and departure time of the departure person is printed and provides the departure person. If such a label is included in the boarding pass, the printing unit 135 does not have to provide a label to the departure person. However, if the seat of the departure is changed after the boarding pass issuance, the printing unit 135 should output the label printed with the changed seat number to the departure.

The detector 120 is a means for detecting whether two or more departures enter the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 and whether the departures carry their luggage. This is a means for detecting that an illegal departure person or unidentified baggage which has not undergone the boarding examination passes through the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100.

The detector 120 that performs the above function includes an analyzer 121, a stereo camera, and a sensor 123. When the departure camera is detected, the stereo camera and the sensor 123 three-dimensionally photograph the inside of the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100. The analysis unit 121 analyzes the image photographed by the stereo camera and the sensor 123 and checks the number of departures entered into the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100. Then, the analysis unit 121 analyzes the image photographed by the stereo camera and the sensor 123, and checks whether or not the departure person owns a bag, a baggage or the like.

The analysis unit 121 notifies the boarding review control unit 150 of information on whether the number of persons entered in the automatic boarding review apparatus 100 is two or more and information on whether there is any luggage.

On the other hand, the image captured by the stereo camera and the sensor 123 is transferred to the above-described monitoring server 60, it may be used to monitor the situation in the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100.

The departure management unit 110 only leaves the departure boarding device 100 outside the automatic boarding examination device 100 is permitted to board. The exit management unit 110 performing the function includes an exit detection sensor 111, an exit gate 113, an exit guide light 115, an emergency exit opening and closing unit 117, and an exit GCU 119.

The exit GCU 119 opens or closes the exit gate 113 under the control of the boarding judging controller 150. As will be described later, the exit gate 113 is opened only for the departure departure is permitted flight.

Then, when it is detected by the exit sensor 111 that the departure of the exit gate 113, the exit GCU 119 closes the exit gate 113. The exit sensor 111 may be implemented as an optical sensor or an infrared sensor capable of detecting a departure person.

In addition, the exit GCU 119 controls the lighting of the exit guide light 115 to inform the departure of the departure. In detail, when the exit gate 113 is closed, the exit GCU 119 controls the lighting state of the exit guide light 115 so that a guide indicating the contents forbidding the departure of the departure person appears. In addition, when the exit gate 113 is opened, the exit GCU 119 controls the lighting state of the exit guide light 115 so that the guide of the contents allowing the departure of the departure person appears.

On the other hand, when the emergency key is mounted on the emergency exit opening and closing portion 117, the exit GCU 119 forcibly opens or closes the exit gate 113. At this time, the exit GCU 119 may forcibly open or close the exit gate 113 according to the rotation direction of the emergency key mounted on the emergency exit opening and closing unit 117.

Specifically, the exit GCU 119 forcibly opens the exit gate 113 when the emergency key is rotated clockwise, and forcibly closes the exit gate 113 when the emergency key is rotated counterclockwise. Let's do it.

The communication interface 140 is connected to communicate with the ABS 30, the Justice Department server 50, and the monitoring server 60, the communication interface between the automatic boarding examination device 100 and the ABS 30, automatic boarding examination device ( It provides a communication interface between the 100 and the Ministry of Justice server 50 and the communication interface between the automatic boarding examination device 100 and the monitoring server 60.

The boarding judging controller 150 controls the overall operation of the automatic boarding judging apparatus 100. Specifically, the boarding examination control unit 150 is based on the permission notified from the Justice Department server 50 and the permission notified from the ABS 30, 1) the entry gate 173 by the entrance GCU 177 / The closing operation and 2) the opening / closing of the exit gate 113 by the exit GCU 119 are controlled.

In addition, the boarding judging controller 150 controls the contents displayed on the LCD 181 and the touch screen 165, and controls the contents of the voice guidance output through the speaker 130.

Hereinafter, a process of the automatic boarding review under the control of the boarding review control unit 150 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. 2 to 5 are flowcharts provided to explain the automatic audit method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ABS 30 first accesses the airline server 20 (S10) and downloads flight schedule information and a passenger list provided by the airline server 20 (S20 and S30).

On the other hand, the boarding screening control unit 150 of the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 controls the LCD 181 to display a guide message to open the passport to the MRP (183) (S200).

After the departure of the departure immigration to the automatic boarding screening device 100, and expands his passport on the MRP 183 (S210-Y), MRP (183) is embedded in the passport based on the RF reading method Attempts to read the passport bibliographic information contained in the electronic chip (S220).

In step S220, the MRP 183 attempts to read only the area where the passport bibliographic information is stored.

If reading succeeds in the passport citation information attempted at step S220 (S230-Y), the boarding examination control unit 150 transfers the read passport citation information to the Justice Department server 50 through the communication interface 140 (S240). . At this time, the passport bibliographic information delivered to the judiciary server 50 by the boarding examination control unit 150 includes the name and passport number of the departure person.

Then, the Ministry of Justice server 50 determines whether the passport holder found out through the passport bibliographic information received through the step S240 corresponds to the departure of the departure deliberation and transfer passengers for the flight transfer.

If the passport holder is an outbound or transit passenger who has been departed, the Ministry of Justice server 50 notifies the boarding examination control unit 150 of the permission through the communication interface 140. On the other hand, if the passport holder is not an outgoing or transit passenger who has been departed, the Ministry of Justice server 50 notifies the boarding examination control unit 150 through the communication interface 140.

Upon receiving a notification of 'disallowed' from the Ministry of Justice server 50 (S250-N), the boarding review control unit 150 performs a procedure required for the automatic boarding review device 100 entry disallowed action (S295). In detail, in step S295, the boarding judging controller 150 does not instruct the entrance GCU 179 to open the entrance gate 173. In addition, the entrance GCU 177 may turn on the beacon 167 to allow the administrator around the automatic boarding examination apparatus 100 to recognize this.

On the other hand, when receiving the 'permission' notification from the Ministry of Justice server 50 (S250-Y), the boarding examination control unit 150 transmits the passport passport information read through the communication interface 140 to the ABS (30) (S260) .

Then, the ABS 30 determines whether the passport holder found out through the passport bibliographic information received in step S240 exists in the list of passengers downloaded in step S30, and determines whether the passport holder is a valid airplane passenger. .

If the passport holder is a valid airplane passenger, the ABS 30 notifies the boarding examination control unit 150 of the admission permission through the communication interface 140. On the other hand, if the passport holder is not a valid plane passenger, the ABS 30 notifies the boarding examination control unit 150 'no entry' through the communication interface 140.

Upon receiving a notification of 'no entry' from the ABS 30 (S270-N), the boarding judging control unit 150 performs a procedure required for disallowing entry to the automatic boarding judging apparatus 100 (S295).

On the other hand, upon receiving the 'admission permission' notification from the ABS 30 (S270-Y), the boarding examination control unit 150 instructs the entrance GCU 179 to open the entrance gate 173 (S280). Accordingly, the GCU 179 opens the entrance gate 173 and turns on the entrance guide light 175 to inform the departure of the departure.

In addition, when it is detected by the entrance sensor 171 that the departure person has passed through the entrance gate 173, the entrance GCU 179 closes the entrance gate 173 (S290).

In addition, since step S300 illustrated in FIG. 3 is performed after step S290, the description will be continued with reference to FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the departure person enters into the automatic boarding screening apparatus 100 through the entrance gate 173, the boarding screening control unit 150 passes passport contact, fingerprints, and the like to the departure board through the touch screen 165. The face photographing request message is displayed (S300).

In the request message displayed in step S300, 1) the departure person puts the passport on the RF reader / writer 163, 2) put the finger on the fingerprint scanning unit 161, 3) the camera and sensor 193 It contains information that asks you to watch and shoot.

The photographing unit 190 captures the departure person to obtain a face photo of the departure person (S305). In operation S305, the fingerprint scan unit 161 scans the fingerprint of the departure country to obtain a fingerprint image (S310).

In addition, during steps S305 and S310, the RF reader / writer 163 reads face information and fingerprint information contained in an electronic chip embedded in an outbound passport (S315).

Steps S305, S310 and S315 are procedures that take a relatively long time. Therefore, in the present embodiment, these procedures are implemented to be performed together, because the time required for these processes is sequentially reduced.

In addition, the present embodiment is implemented to read information from the electronic chip embedded in the passport in two steps. Specifically, the passport bibliographic information is read from the electronic chip embedded in the passport through step S220, and the facial information and fingerprint information embedded in the passport are read through step S315.

This is to reduce the time required for boarding screening of the departure country by performing the step S315, which is relatively time-consuming, together with step S305 and step S310. In step S220, it is also possible to read facial information and fingerprint information in addition to passport bibliographic information from the electronic chip embedded in the passport. However, this causes the boarding examination time to be increased by the time for reading the facial information and fingerprint information.

Thereafter, the boarding examination control unit 150 communicates 1) the face image of the departure person obtained in step S305, 2) the fingerprint image of the departure person obtained in step S310, and 3) the face information and fingerprint information of the departure person read in step S315. Transfer to the Department of Justice server 50 through the interface 140 (S320).

Then, the Ministry of Justice server 50 performs identity verification for the departure. Here, the identity verification is a process of determining whether the departure person currently being boarded and the passport holder are the same person.

To this end, the Ministry of Justice server 50 1) compares the face information and facial information of the departure person received in step S320 is the same, and 2) compares whether the fingerprint image and fingerprint information of the departure person received in step S320 is the same, the current It is determined whether the departure person under review and the passport holder are the same person.

If both are determined to be the same person, the judiciary server 50 notifies the boarding examination control unit 150 of 'identity verification' through the communication interface 140. On the other hand, if it is determined that both are not the same person, the judiciary server 50 notifies the boarding review control unit 150 'identity of the person' through the communication interface 140.
