New access control fingerprint recognition for the rise of the civilian market

In the 90s of last century, fingerprint identification technology began to rise in China. At that time, the application was limited to the criminal investigation field. It could increase the detection rate of public security agencies and save a lot of costs. However, fingerprint identification technology belongs to the use of "unknown subject" in criminal investigation. "Comparing" needs to be handled by a mainframe, and the cost of time and price is relatively large. With the advancement of science and technology, the fingerprint identification market is gradually expanding, and the civil market is booming. The most typical application is the application of the field of access control.

Market: Fingerprinting is going to civilians. Through the continuous promotion and application of fingerprint recognition technology in the market, fingerprint recognition companies find that the real market for fingerprint identification technology should be the civilian market. Because the civilian fingerprint identification technology is "knowledgeable subject", "comparison" is faster and accurate. It is accompanied by more and more electronic devices, such as PCs, ATMs, and access control systems, which are entering our daily lives.

From a trend point of view, the civilian fingerprinting technology will eventually replace the IDs and passwords that are defective in security and convenience to prevent unauthorized access. Because the fingerprint identification technology is more popular than the criminal investigation application, and the market capacity is larger, it has the basis for large-scale promotion. In western countries, fingerprint identification technology has entered the stage of large-scale civilian use. In 1990, Los Angeles used the world’s first relief fingerprint recognition system; the world’s first virtual bank, SFNB (Safety First Online Banking), also implemented a security-based security project based on fingerprint recognition technology. The security of the transaction.

Due to its mature technology and reduced cost, fingerprint recognition began to move toward civilian use. The domestic biometric identification will form a market of more than ten billion yuan in the future. Among them, the security industry is one of the most important application fields, and the market space is very large.

Development: The future can be combined with IC card The development of fingerprint identification technology benefits from the research of modern electronic integrated manufacturing technology and fast and reliable algorithms. Although the fingerprint is only a small part of the human skin, the amount of data used for identification is quite large. The comparison of these data is not simply a matter of equality and inequality, but uses a fuzzy matching algorithm that requires a lot of calculations.

Modern electronic integrated manufacturing technology allows us to manufacture relatively small fingerprint image reading devices. At the same time, the speed of development of personal computers provides the possibility of performing two fingerprint comparison operations on a microcomputer or even a single chip microcomputer. In addition, the reliability of the matching algorithm is also increasing, and the fingerprint recognition technology has been very practical.

Fingerprint recognition technology can be applied to many ways through several methods. The use of fingerprint authentication to replace the passwords of individual computer applications is the most typical example. It is conceivable that if all systems and applications on a computer can use fingerprint authentication, people can use the computer very conveniently and securely. Users no longer hate the necessary security checks, and the IT developer's after-sales service will also reduce many .

Combining the fingerprint identification technology with the IC card is one of the most promising directions at present. This technology stores the fingerprint of the owner of the card (after encryption) on the IC card, and installs a fingerprint identification system on the card reader of the IC card. When the card reader reads the information on the card, it reads in the card holder together. The fingerprint of the card can be confirmed by comparing the fingerprint on the card with the fingerprint of the card holder, whether the card holder is the real owner of the card, so that the next transaction can be performed. On more rigorous occasions, it can be further compared with the fingerprint on the backend host system database.

Fingerprint IC cards can be widely used in many industries, such as replacing existing ATM cards, manufacturing anti-counterfeit documents (visa or passport, public medical cards, membership cards, library cards, etc.). At present, ATM fingerprinting machine has been installed in the United States. The cardholder can cancel the password (avoid difficulties for the elderly and the child to memorize the password) or still keep the password. The operation time is similar to the fingerprint and password.

At present, fingerprint identification is mainly used in attendance, access control, safes, and other areas. It is believed that with the improvement of fingerprint identification technology, it will be widely used in more fields such as ID cards, motor vehicles, and home furnishing.

Application: Open up new markets in the field of access control Last year, biometrics began to become a hot area in the access control market. From the earliest fingerprint identification, to face recognition, to palm vein recognition, biometrics were only a few short years later. Ushered in a brand new market.

From the application around us, we can see that the "rarity" fingerprint identification device has long been nothing new, and fingerprint identification has inadvertently entered too many enterprises. Extensive applications have demonstrated the user market's recognition of fingerprinting as a biometric technology. In addition, with the repeated application of biometric identification technology in the past two years, fingerprint recognition is ushering in more in-depth development. On the surface, the emergence of this technology helps to enhance the stability of the identification process, convenience, etc. . But in the long run, it means that on the road to fingerprinting, a more sustainable development has been found. This will increase the performance, but also set a more in-depth direction for the development of biometrics. Therefore, next year's biometric market is destined to continue to flourish.

Access control equipment has always existed independently as a gate security management function. However, with the integration of integration and integration concepts in recent years, diversification has become one of the major development directions of the access control market.

In the development of the access control system in these two years, the development and introduction of functions has become a means for manufacturers to build core competitiveness. Especially in the current situation where the overall function of the access control equipment tends to be balanced, the introduction of some detailed functions has become the "second battlefield" developed by the manufacturers. Although as a new product development model, many companies in the process of diversification have begun to “review” the embarrassment of being a “newcomer”. However, judging from the development trend of world products, this transition is undoubtedly an irreversible stage in the development process.

In the field of security in these two years, networking has become the main trend of the security market. With the rapid application of network monitoring, the network has quickly spread to alarm, buildings, and all corners of access control.
