[0006] S1, recognizes faces in the scanning area at a specified frequency, and builds a recognition sequence for each face appearing in the scanning area. Each set of recognition data in the sequence records the start and end time of recognition of the face;

[0007] S2, obtaining the start time of this file scan. If the start time of the file scan is only between the start time and end time of recognition of a certain face, the scanned electronic file is sent to the mailbox corresponding to the face.

[0008] Furthermore, if the start time of the file scan is between the start time and end time of multiple face recognitions, the following method is executed:

[0009] Get the end time of this file scan;

[0010] Determine whether the recognition sequence of faces appearing in the scanning area is continuous during the document scanning process;

[0032] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatically sending scanned documents based on face recognition, comprising a face recognition device, a scanning device, and an intermediate server. The face recognition device recognizes faces in a scanning area at a specified frequency and constructs an identification sequence for each face appearing in the scanning area. Each set of identification data in the sequence records the start and end time of the face identification.

[0034] The scanning device is used to scan and obtain electronic documents;

[0035] The intermediate server is used to obtain the start time and end time of this file scan. If the start time of the file scan is only between the start time and end time of the recognition of a certain face, the scanned electronic file will be sent to the mailbox corresponding to the face.

[0036] If the start time of the document scan is between the start time and the end time of the recognition of multiple faces, determine whether the recognition sequence of the faces appearing in the scan area during the document scan is continuous;

[0037] If they are continuous, the face corresponding to the recognition sequence containing the most recognition data or the face corresponding to the recognition sequence with the earliest recognition start time is selected as the face matched by the current file scan, and the scanned electronic file is sent to the mailbox corresponding to the face.

[0038] The intermediate server is also used to transfer and review the scanned electronic documents manually or automatically, and send them to the mailbox corresponding to the face recognition result after passing the review.

[0039] In manual mode, the review is performed by designated personnel, that is, only personnel with review authority can access and browse the electronic document. In automatic mode, only specific programs with read and move authority to the electronic document can access and browse the electronic document.

[0040] Based on the above system, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for automatically sending scanned files based on face recognition, such as Figure 2 Shown, including:

[0041] First, the person being scanned stands next to the scanning device. The facial recognition device automatically scans the area every one second, capturing an image of the person and sending it to the intermediate server along with the start and end times of the current facial scan. The intermediate server then constructs a recognition sequence for each face in the scanning area. Each set of recognition data in the sequence records the start and end times of the face recognition.

[0042] At the same time, the scanner starts scanning the file, and the scanning device records the scanning start time and end time. After the scan is completed, the scanning device sends the scanning start time, end time and scan file together to the intermediate server.

[0043] The intermediate server determines whether the start time of the file scan falls within the start and end time of a specific face recognition. If so, the scanned electronic document is matched with the target face and the scanned electronic document is sent to the email address corresponding to the target face. Otherwise, the server determines whether the recognition sequence of faces appearing in the scan area during the file scan is continuous. If so, the face corresponding to the recognition sequence containing the most recognition data or the face corresponding to the recognition sequence with the earliest recognition start time is selected as the face matched for the current file scan, and the scanned electronic document is sent to the email address corresponding to that face.

[0044] The scanned document storage area on the intermediate server can be used to transfer, review, and send scanned electronic documents manually or automatically. In manual mode, the review is performed by designated personnel, meaning only those with review permissions can access and browse the electronic documents. In automatic mode, only specific programs with read and move permissions can access and browse the electronic documents. Personnel with access permissions use common identity verification methods to authenticate their permissions when accessing and browsing.

[0045] This method can ensure the security of corporate information and prevent information leakage. By using an algorithm that recognizes the existence time of the area, the scanner is accurately identified and sent to the user.

[0046] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of an embodiment of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device 500, including a memory 510, a processor 520, and a computer program 511 stored in the memory 520 and executable on the processor 520. When the processor 520 executes the computer program 511, the following steps are implemented:

[0047] S1, recognizes faces in the scanning area at a specified frequency, and builds a recognition sequence for each face appearing in the scanning area. Each set of recognition data in the sequence records the start and end time of recognition of the face;

[0048] S2, obtaining the start time of this file scan. If the start time of the file scan is only between the start time and end time of recognition of a certain face, the scanned electronic file is sent to the mailbox corresponding to the face.

[0049] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of an embodiment of a computer-readable storage medium provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium 600 on which a computer program 611 is stored. When the computer program 611 is executed by a processor, the following steps are implemented:

[0050] S1, recognizes faces in the scanning area at a specified frequency, and builds a recognition sequence for each face appearing in the scanning area. Each set of recognition data in the sequence records the start and end time of recognition of the face;

[0051] S2, obtaining the start time of this file scan. If the start time of the file scan is only between the start time and end time of recognition of a certain face, the scanned electronic file is sent to the mailbox corresponding to the face.
