Description

 Method for collecting usage of facial recognition open house technology and self-service system Technical field

 The invention belongs to the field of electronic technology, and in particular relates to a method for collecting usage of a facial recognition open house technology and a self-service system.

Background technique

 Nowadays, the number of patents applied by enterprises is increasing, and the use of patents in the market and products is increasing.

 According to the national intellectual property database, OPPO applied for 938 invention patents in 2014, while Tencent Company of the same period The number of invention patents was 1,447. Among the inventions of the two companies, about 80% of the total number of invention patents related to user experience and direct user operations. Of course, similar patent applications, including other companies based on user experience, are also of a large order of magnitude, such as Xiaomi.

Considering the use of technology, the patent application process and the post-authorization maintenance process will generate human and financial costs: such as replying to review opinions, paying license fees, etc., for core technologies (such as CDMA underlying technology) or market identification. For relatively high-tech technologies (such as sliding unlocking), the related costs are negligible, and the investment in these technologies is worthwhile, but such technologies are a minority after all, and more technologies have been verified by the market. The user's pain points or itch points cannot be touched, and the patent investment in these technologies is likely to cause cost waste.

Therefore, there is a need for a method to timely evaluate the market acceptance or value of related technologies through real data, and at the same time, in order to make the relevant technology in my previous application "a method for matching facial recognition to open house information" be timely evaluated, A method of collecting/transmitting data using technology is proposed.

Embodiments of the invention

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for collecting usage of a facial recognition open room technology according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description, only parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

 In step S101, the user's face identification information is read.

 In this embodiment, taking the check-in procedure of the customer hotel opening room as an example, after the customer enters the hotel, the user first enters his face identification information.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, facial recognition technology is used. Face recognition technology is now mature and its application will become increasingly popular.

Face recognition, especially computer technology that uses analysis and comparison. Face recognition is a popular field of computer technology research, face tracking detection, automatic adjustment of image magnification, nighttime infrared detection, automatic adjustment of exposure intensity; it belongs to biometrics technology, is a specific organism ) its own biological characteristics to distinguish between individual organisms.

The face recognition payment system was first introduced in the world by the Finnish startup Uniqul in July 2013 and submitted relevant patent applications. In China, the face recognition payment system developed by the Intelligent Multimedia Technology Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, users only need to use the relevant equipment to take a photo to achieve online payment, and the relevant experts said that the system is in the United States Carnegie Mellon International Standards The face recognition test library achieved a recognition rate of 99.8%, while the best result of other international algorithms was 97.6%.

 In addition, according to the wisdom of ASD Inc., Ou Feiguang and Bank of China jointly developed a set of 'face recognition' installed in ATM. System, the system has been developed and sampled for testing. The products that have been sampled are a complete system including 'camera, face recognition module and face recognition software'. This cooperation is a new attempt by BOC in the field of Internet finance.

At the same time, according to the news reprinted on many portals on July 8, 2015, Apple has implemented the technology of 'low threshold facial recognition' on the mobile side. Apple's patent captures images based on the front camera, and then The image is analyzed and processed. Unlike traditional face recognition technology, Apple does not analyze all the details of the image, but only recognizes areas with large facial information, such as eyes, nose and mouth. This is also the low threshold for Apple's technology. 'Foundation.

 Accordingly, the technique is equally applicable to the related art of the present invention.

 In step S102, the location of the current remaining room and the price of the open house are displayed to the user.

 When the customer enters his or her facial identification information, the customer will be shown information about the current remaining room, such as room number, room type, price, and so on.

In step S103, the room selected by the user is read; in step S104, it is determined whether the amount of consumption input by the user is greater than the price of the open house; if not, the process proceeds to step S105, prompting the user to continue inputting the amount of consumption or withdrawing the input by the user. If yes, proceed to step S106 to set the face recognition information required for unlocking the room selected by the user to the face recognition information of the user, and send the technical use data to the data collection end preset by the manufacturer.

After the customer selects the room, the corresponding consumer payment is made, and the payment can be 'cash payment, online banking payment, Alipay payment, WeChat payment, and the like. If the payment amount of the user is less than the price of the selected room, the system will remind the customer that the payment amount is insufficient, and need to continue to pay or prompt the customer whether a refund is needed; if the payment amount of the user is greater than the price of the selected room, the customer will be The unlocked facial recognition information authentication of the selected room is set to the customer's own facial recognition information, and the customer can directly verify the facial recognition information to enter the room.

The technology uses data for the user to use the data of the technology, that is, the data generated when the method completes the first few steps, the data includes the number of times the user uses the technology (eg, the first time using the technology within a certain period of time) Technology); the specific time point of using the technology; the user's related operations before and after using the technology can help the technology provider to better evaluate the market value of the technology, and better improve the technical data according to the feedback.

By reading and verifying the customer's facial identification information, the invention allows the customer to self-check the hotel's open house check-in procedure, thereby reducing the operating cost of the hotel, and also facilitating the timely and effective collection of relevant technologies by the manufacturer.
