[0002] With the development of science and technology, especially in the fields of Internet of Things (IoT), mobile computing and biometrics, intelligent inspection systems have gradually become an important tool for improving safety management efficiency. Intelligent inspection systems use modern technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communication), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), GPS positioning, face recognition, etc. to achieve real-time monitoring and management of inspection personnel.

[0003] Some existing inspection systems use NFC technology for clocking in. Inspectors carry NFC devices and use NFC tags to clock in at inspection points. These systems are usually able to record the time and location of clocking in, but may lack identity authentication and anomaly detection functions.

[0004] Similar to NFC, RFID technology is also used for inspection and clocking in. RFID systems can read tag information remotely, but they may also have shortcomings in identity verification and data security.

[0005] Some systems use GPS technology to track the movement and location of patrol personnel, but this method may be limited by signal coverage and positioning accuracy.

[0006] Some systems use facial recognition technology to verify the identity of inspectors, but this may require additional hardware support, and the recognition effect may be unstable under different lighting conditions.
