Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to authentication technology, and in particular to an access control method and system. Background Technology

[0002] The laboratory intelligent management system's card or mini-program authentication method cannot automatically distinguish whether the registrant and the current user are the same person, leading to management problems such as card lending, theft, and multiple people using one card. This results in untrained and unauthorized personnel entering the laboratory, causing damage to equipment and facilities and safety hazards.

[0003] Although facial recognition authentication can automatically determine the authenticity of the current user, it is too costly to be deployed on a large scale in laboratory intelligent management systems. Currently, it is mostly installed at the main entrance of the laboratory.

[0004] Currently, each authentication method operates independently, and each method has its own obvious drawbacks. For example, issues such as ID card borrowing and tailgating into the laboratory can lead to equipment damage and security risks, becoming new challenges and pain points in laboratory management. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides an access control method and system.

[0006] On the one hand, embodiments of this application provide an access control method, including the following steps:

[0007] When the instrument controller reads the authentication information;

[0008] Determine whether the access control system has a record of facial recognition corresponding to the authentication information within a preset time period;

[0009] If the permission to use the device is verified, then the user will be prompted to go to the access control system for facial recognition. If not, the user will be prompted to perform facial recognition.

[0010] In some embodiments, the authentication information is obtained by the instrument controller through card swiping or authentication applet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the instrument usage permission verification specifically includes:

[0012] Once the instrument usage permission verification is successful, unlock the instrument's functions.

[0013] When the instrument access permission verification fails, keep the instrument functions locked.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the instrument controller reads the authentication information, it accesses the access control system information via the access server.

[0015] In some embodiments, the preset time is less than or equal to 24 hours.

[0016] In some embodiments, the system further includes the step of retaining a record of facial recognition when any face is recognized.

[0017] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide an access control method, including the following steps:

[0018] The access control system determines whether to open the access control for storing instruments based on the authentication results of facial recognition.

[0019] The instrument's controller is based on obtaining authentication information through a card swiping or authentication mini-program, and then checks whether the user corresponding to the authentication information has a facial recognition record in the access control system within a preset time.

[0020] If yes, then the device usage permission will be verified; otherwise, the user will be prompted to perform facial recognition at the access control system.

[0021] In some embodiments, the preset time is less than or equal to 24 hours.

[0022] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide an access control system, including:

[0023] The reading module is used to read authentication information;

[0024] The judgment execution module is used to determine whether the access control system has a record of facial recognition corresponding to the authentication information within a preset time period;

[0025] If the permission to use the device is verified, then the user will be prompted to go to the access control system for facial recognition. If not, the user will be prompted to perform facial recognition.

[0026] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide an access control system, including:

[0027] A memory for storing programs; a processor for executing the programs to perform the access control methods as described.

[0028] In this embodiment, when using a smart card or mini-program authentication controller, the system can check if the user has a facial recognition authentication record in the recent period. If a record is found, verification is successful, and the user can successfully verify device permissions and start using the device. If no record is found, verification fails, access is denied, and a message is displayed: "Please try facial recognition authentication again." This hybrid authentication mode, without increasing costs, effectively adds facial recognition functionality to smart card and mini-program authentication. Even if someone borrows a card or follows another user into the lab, they cannot use the equipment, automatically eliminating potential risks at the outset. This not only reduces the workload of lab administrators and effectively minimizes contact and confrontation with unauthorized personnel, but also makes lab management safer and more efficient, fundamentally solving new pain points and difficulties in lab management through technological means.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element. The terms "upper," "lower," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the system or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this invention are used to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class, without limiting the number of objects; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an access control method, which primarily targets access control for laboratory instruments, often expensive equipment. Using these instruments requires specialized operating knowledge; otherwise, normal operation may be affected. Therefore, only qualified personnel are permitted to use them. However, in reality, individuals lacking the necessary operating knowledge may enter the laboratory. With current technology, users might borrow others' access cards to operate the equipment after entering the laboratory, leading to uncontrollable risks.

[0037] In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. When the instrument controller reads the authentication information. It's understood that authentication information is obtained in two ways: specifically, the user can obtain it through their IC / ID card (commonly known as a smart card) via the instrument's card reader; or it can be obtained through an authentication mini-program.

[0039] S2. Determine whether the access control system has a record of facial recognition corresponding to the authentication information within a preset time period. It is understood that the instrument controller or server can determine whether the user corresponding to the current authentication information has a facial recognition record within a certain period, typically 24 hours. It is understood that if facial authentication fails, there will be no successful authentication record.

[0040] If a face verification record is found, then device usage permission verification is performed. Understandably, the device itself typically differentiates user permissions; for example, some users may only have permission to operate device A, while others may only have permission to operate device B, and some users may have permission to operate both devices. Therefore, the device's original permission verification procedure can be used to determine whether a specific user has the necessary permissions to operate the device.

[0041] If no successful facial recognition record exists, the user will be prompted to undergo facial recognition at the access control system. Since facial recognition still utilizes the existing access control system's facial recognition equipment, there's no need to install facial recognition devices on every device, resulting in minimal hardware modifications and low costs. When a user requests to use the device, if there's no corresponding record, the user will be prompted to undergo facial recognition at the access control system. This prompt can be delivered via voice, display, or other methods.

[0042] This solution ensures that, at least for a certain period, the user requesting access to the device enters the lab via facial recognition. It also guarantees the user's presence and reduces the possibility of other users misusing IC cards or authentication apps.

[0043] In this embodiment, when using a smart card or mini-program authentication controller, the system can check if the user has a facial recognition authentication record in the recent period. If a record is found, verification is successful, and the user can successfully verify device permissions and start using the device. If no record is found, verification fails, access is denied, and a message is displayed: "Please try facial recognition authentication again." This hybrid authentication mode, without increasing costs, effectively adds facial recognition functionality to smart card and mini-program authentication. Even if someone borrows a card or follows another user into the lab, they cannot use the equipment, automatically eliminating potential risks at the outset. This not only reduces the workload of lab administrators and effectively minimizes contact and confrontation with unauthorized personnel, but also makes lab management safer and more efficient, fundamentally solving new pain points and difficulties in lab management through technological means.

[0044] In some embodiments, the authentication information is obtained by the instrument controller via card swiping or an authentication mini-program. It is understood that obtaining authentication information via card swiping specifically involves reading the information using a card reader installed on the instrument. The authentication mini-program can be accessed by the user scanning the device's unique information code using software such as WeChat, and the server then notifies the device controller to obtain the aforementioned information, or the user can directly obtain information sent by the server.

[0045] In some embodiments, the instrument usage permission verification specifically includes:

[0046] Once the instrument usage permission verification is successful, unlock the instrument's functions.

[0047] When the instrument access permission verification fails, keep the instrument functions locked.

[0048] It is understandable that after obtaining authentication information, the instrument can verify it using locally recorded permission information or through a server. It is also understandable that this embodiment uses existing technical content.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the instrument controller reads authentication information, it accesses the access control system information via an access server. Specifically, the access control system is mainly used for managing user access to and from the location of the instrument. Here, the access control system specifically refers to the access control equipment in the area where the instrument is located.

[0050] In some embodiments, the preset time is less than or equal to 24 hours. Generally, based on the instrument's regular usage patterns and actual business needs, to make this solution valuable, a preset time period is required to determine whether the card / mini-program user is present. Balancing efficiency and security, this embodiment determines 24 hours as the optimal timeframe.

[0051] In some embodiments, the system further includes the step of retaining a record of facial recognition when any face is recognized.

[0052] This application provides an access control method, including the following steps:

[0053] A1. The access control system determines whether to open the access control door for the stored equipment based on the authentication result of facial recognition. It is understood that in this embodiment, the access control system uses existing hardware and is mainly installed at the entrances and exits.

[0054] A2. The instrument's controller, based on the authentication information obtained through card swiping or authentication via a mini-program, checks whether the user corresponding to that authentication information has a facial recognition record with the access control system within a preset time period. The instrument controller eliminates the need for a separate facial recognition device, resulting in lower costs. It determines whether further instrument access verification is required by querying the access control system.

[0055] If yes, then the device usage permission will be verified; otherwise, the user will be prompted to perform facial recognition at the access control system.

[0056] This application provides an access control system, including:

[0057] The reading module is used to read authentication information;

[0058] The judgment execution module is used to determine whether the access control system has a record of facial recognition corresponding to the authentication information within a preset time period;

[0059] If the permission to use the device is verified, then the user will be prompted to go to the access control system for facial recognition. If not, the user will be prompted to perform facial recognition.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 This application provides an access control system, including:
