[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than all structures. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a visitor management method provided in Example 1 of the present invention. This embodiment can be applicable to the situation of quickly registering visitors to a building. The method can be applied to and executed by a visitor management device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step 110: Identify the visitor's ID card inserted into the set card slot to obtain the visitor's identity information.

[0051] In this embodiment, the visitor management method may be applied to a visitor management device, and the visitor management device may be provided with a card slot for inserting a visitor identification document.

[0052] Generally, the content displayed on the ID card has a fixed format, and the ID card can display the name, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, address, ID number, and personal photo, etc. In other words, these displayed contents have fixed display positions. When registering visitors, the actual attention and record is the information that can identify the visitor, such as the visitor's name and ID number, while the visitor's date of birth and address are not very useful at this time. Therefore, the card slot on the visitor management device can cover the display content on the ID card that does not need to be obtained, so as to protect the visitor's private information. At the same time, it can reduce unnecessary information acquisition and improve information recognition efficiency and accuracy.

[0053] Accordingly, the visitor identity information mainly includes information that can be used to identify the visitor's identity, which can be part of the information on the identity document. In particular, if the card slot on the visitor management device does not block the visitor's identity document, then the visitor management device can also identify all the information on the visitor's identity document and determine it as the visitor's identity information.

[0054] Specifically, when a visitor arrives at the entrance of the building, he or she can take out the visitor identification document and insert it into the card slot on the visitor management device. After the visitor management device detects that the visitor identification document has been inserted into the card slot, it can identify the personal information on the visitor identification document and determine the identified information as the visitor identity information.

[0055] For example, Figure 2a FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a card slot structure for placing a visitor's ID card in a visitor management method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 2a As shown, the card slot blocks part of the area of ​​the identity document. When identifying the identity document, only the unblocked part of the card slot needs to be identified.

[0056] Step 120: Receive visit registration information input by the visitor, and form a visitor record based on the visitor identity information and the visit registration information.

[0057] The visit registration information may include the destination that the visitor needs to visit this time and the reason for the visit. The visitor record may be understood as data information used to describe and record the visit of the visitor.

[0058] Specifically, the visitor management device may be provided with an operation screen or input keyboard for visitors to input information. After the visitor inserts the identity card into the set card slot and is recognized by the visitor management device, the visitor management device may provide image prompts or sound prompts to guide the visitor to enter the destination and the reason for the visit at the corresponding location. When the visitor inputs information, there may be corresponding prompt information, such as how many floors there are in the building, what options are available for the reason for the visit, etc. After receiving the information input by the visitor, the visitor management device determines the information as the visit registration information, and establishes an association relationship with the recognized visitor identity information to form a visitor record.

[0059] It is understandable that when forming a visitor record, the visitor management device can obtain the system time at that time to identify the time when the visitor record was generated, that is, the time when the visitor is about to enter the building.

[0060] For example, Figure 2b 1 is a schematic diagram of an interface for inputting visit registration information in a visitor management method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The visitor management device is provided with an operation screen for visitors to input information, and the display interface of the operation screen is as follows: Figure 2bAs shown, the visitor can enter relevant information on the operation screen, indicating the destination and the reason for the visit, respectively, wherein the destination can also include the floor and unit. For example, the visitor enters 4 digits, the first two digits can indicate the floor of the visitor, inputting 08 means the floor is the 8th floor, inputting 43 means the floor is the 43rd floor, etc.; the third digit can indicate the visitor's unit, inputting 1 means the unit is A, inputting 2 means the unit is B, inputting 3 means the unit is C, inputting 4 means the unit is D, etc.; the fourth digit can indicate the reason for the visitor's visit, inputting 1 means the reason for the visit is to visit relatives and friends, inputting 2 means the reason for the visit is to deliver food, inputting 3 means the reason for the visit is to send and receive express delivery, inputting 4 means the reason for the visit is decoration, inputting 5 means the reason for the visit is tutoring, inputting 6 means the reason for the visit is house rental and sale, inputting 7 means the reason for the visit is maintenance, inputting 8 means the reason for the visit is housekeeping service, inputting 9 means the reason for the visit is government visit, inputting 0 means the reason for the visit is other special circumstances, etc. Of course, the input rules of visit registration information can be adjusted according to different application scenarios. The visitor management device can be provided with an input information prompt page to display the input rules of visit registration information, and can also provide voice control prompts.

[0061] It should be noted that there is no clear order for obtaining visitor identity information and visit registration information. In other words, the visitor can first enter the visit registration information and then insert the visitor identity document into the set card slot for identification.

[0062] Step 130: Manage visitors according to visitor records.

[0063] Specifically, the visitor management device can store visitor records, determine whether the visitor leaves on time, whether there is any illegal visit, etc. based on the visitor records, and give corresponding prompts when the visitor makes an illegal visit.

[0064] The technical solution of this embodiment obtains visitor identity information by identifying the visitor identification document inserted into the set card slot, receives the visitor registration information input by the visitor, forms a visitor record based on the visitor identity information and the visit registration information, and manages the visitor based on the visitor record. This solves the problems of low efficiency in manual registration of visitor information, long waiting time for visitors, security risks in visitor information, and easy errors in information registration and printing, realizes rapid registration of visitor information, and improves the privacy, accuracy and security of property management.

[0065] Embodiment 2

[0066] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a visitor management method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further optimizes the above visitor management method.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0068] Step 210: Determine and set the information reading area in the card slot.

[0069] In this embodiment, a private information shielding sheet is provided on the setting card slot of the visitor management device, which is used to shield private information on the identity document except for the information that needs to be registered. The area in the card slot that is not shielded can be determined as the information reading area. From another perspective, it is possible to first determine which information on the visitor's identity document needs to be registered, such as the visitor's name and certificate number. Since the content displayed on the identity document has a fixed display position, it is also possible to determine which areas of the identity document need to be read, and accordingly, the corresponding position in the card slot can be determined as the information reading area.

[0070] Step 220: When a visitor identification document is inserted into the card slot, optical character recognition technology is used to read the information reading area, and the read character information is determined as the visitor identification information.

[0071] Specifically, when a visitor inserts a visitor identification document into a card slot and is recognized by a visitor management device, the visitor management device may read the information reading area through optical character recognition technology (OCR), identify personal information in the information reading area, and determine the recognized information as the visitor identity information.

[0072] Step 230: Determine the number of timeout records associated with the visitor identity information, and determine whether the number of timeout records reaches a preset number.

[0073] In this embodiment, each time a visitor enters a building, there is a certain time limit. The visitor needs to scan and register when entering the building, and also needs to scan and register when leaving. If the visitor stays in the building for too long, exceeding the specified time, then the visit of the visitor is an overtime visit. Correspondingly, the number of overtime records can be understood as the number of overtime visits of the visitor.

[0074] Specifically, after obtaining the visitor's identity information, the visitor's identity can be verified first, and the number of timeout records of the visitor can be obtained. If the number of timeout records reaches a preset number, it means that the visitor has multiple timeout visit records before, and step 240 can be performed; otherwise, step 250 can be performed.

[0075] Step 240: Provide an alarm prompt for problematic visitors.

[0076] Specifically, if the number of a visitor's timeout records reaches a preset number, the visitor can be identified as a problem visitor and a corresponding alarm prompt can be issued. The security personnel can be asked to inquire about the purpose of the visitor's visit and why he or she has visited for too long multiple times before. In addition, the owner of the visit can be asked whether the situation is true. After obtaining the consent of the owner of the visit, the visitor can be allowed to enter.

[0077] Step 250: Receive visitor registration information input by the visitor, and form a visitor record according to the visitor identity information and the visitor registration information.

[0078] The visit registration information may include the visit destination and the visit reason, and the visit destination may include the visit floor and the visit unit.

[0079] Specifically, the visitor management device can determine the visit destination and visit reason information input by the visitor as visit registration information, determine the information as visit registration information, and establish an association relationship with the identified visitor identity information to form a visitor record.

[0080] Step 260: Determine the effective time period of the visitor's visit based on the visitor record.

[0081] The valid visiting period can be understood as the time period during which visitors are allowed to stay in the building.

[0082] Specifically, visitors have different reasons for their visits, and the corresponding visiting time will also be different. Therefore, the effective time period of the visitor's visit can be determined based on the visitor's reason for the visit and the visitor's registration time for entering the building.

[0083] Optionally, step 260 may be implemented by the following steps:

[0084] S1. Obtain the visit registration time associated with the visitor record.

[0085] Specifically, when forming a visitor record, the visitor management device may obtain the system time at that time, and determine the obtained time as the visit registration time, which is used to indicate the time when the visitor enters the building.

[0086] S2. Extract the visiting reason from the visitor record and determine the allowed visiting time corresponding to the visiting reason.

[0087] Specifically, the reason for the visitor's visit can be obtained from the visitor record. Different reasons for the visit correspond to different allowed visiting times. For example, when the visitor's reason for the visit is food delivery or express delivery, the allowed visiting time can be set to 0.5 hours; when the visitor's reason for the visit is house rental and sale, government visit or other special circumstances, the allowed visiting time can be set to 1 hour; when the visitor's reason for the visit is tutoring or maintenance, the allowed visiting time can be set to 2 hours; when the visitor's reason for the visit is visiting relatives and friends, decoration or housekeeping services, the allowed visiting time can be set to 4 hours, etc.

[0088] S3. Determine the effective time period for the visit based on the visit registration time and the allowed visit duration.

[0089] Specifically, the visit registration time can be used as the starting point, and the visit allowance time can be retrieved backwards to determine the visit validity period. For example, if the visitor's visit is for house rental and sale, the corresponding visit allowance time is 1 hour, and the visit registration time is 9 o'clock, then the visit validity period is from 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock.

[0090] Step 270: Determine a visit time reminder point associated with the visitor within the effective visit period.

[0091] The visiting time prompt point may be understood as a time point for prompting the visitor's visiting time.

[0092] Specifically, one or more visiting time reminder points can be set within the visiting effective period according to the visitor's allowed visiting time. Generally, the visiting time reminder point can be set close to the end time of the visiting effective period. For example, if the visiting effective period is from 9:00 to 10:00, then 9:50 can be set as the visiting time reminder point, or 9:50 and 9:55 can be set as the visiting time reminder points respectively.

[0093] Step 280: When the visitor's stay time reaches the visit time reminder point, a departure reminder message is sent to the visitor.

[0094] Specifically, if the visitor has not left the building when the visiting time reminder point is reached, that is, if the visitor's visit departure information has not been received at the visiting time reminder point, a departure reminder message can be sent to the visitor to remind the visitor to leave within the specified visiting valid period.

[0095] It is understandable that visitors can leave a mobile phone number that can be used for communication when registering, or follow the visitor management system official account in advance, so that the visitor management device can send reminder messages to the visitor.

[0096] Step 290: If the visitor's visit exit information is not received within the visit validity period, the visitor record is marked as a timeout record, and a timeout prompt message is sent to the visitor.

[0097] In this embodiment, when a visitor leaves the building, the visitor management device can receive the visitor's visit exit information and add the visit exit information to the visitor record. If the visitor management device does not receive the visit exit information of the visitor within the valid visit period, it means that the visitor is still in the building at the end of the valid visit period, and the visitor has exceeded the visit time limit. Therefore, the visitor record can be marked as a timeout record, and a timeout prompt message is sent to the visitor, informing the visitor that the visitor has stayed for more than the valid visit period and please leave as soon as possible.

[0098] Step 2100: Upload visitor records to the cloud platform for associated storage.

[0099] Specifically, the visitor management device can upload visitor records to the cloud platform for corresponding associated storage to facilitate management and application.

[0100] The technical solution of this embodiment determines the information reading area in the set card slot, uses optical character recognition technology to specifically read the character information used for visitor registration, and when the visitor identity information is read, determines the number of timeout records associated with the visitor identity information. If the number of timeout records reaches a preset number, an alarm prompt for the problem visitor is issued, which can quickly and accurately predict whether the visitor's visit poses a security risk. At the same time, the visit registration information entered by the visitor is received, and a visitor record is formed according to the visitor identity information and the visit registration information. The visitor's visit effective period and the visit time reminder point within the visit effective period are determined according to the visitor record. When the visitor's stay time reaches the visit time reminder point, a departure reminder message is sent to the visitor. If the visitor's visit departure information is not received within the visit effective period, the visitor record is marked as a timeout record, and a timeout reminder message is sent to the visitor, effectively reminding the visitor to pay attention to the visit time. In addition, the visitor record is uploaded to the cloud platform for associated storage to facilitate management and application. This embodiment solves the problems of low efficiency in manual registration of visitor information, long waiting time for visitors, security risks of visitor information, easy errors in information registration and printing, and inaccurate human judgment of problem visitors. It realizes rapid registration of visitor information and improves the privacy, accuracy and security of property management.
