[0024] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of an attendance access control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Detailed implementation manners

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] For ease of understanding, please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a cute pet attendance access control robot, including: a robot main body, and the robot main body includes a voice acquisition module and a processor;

[0027] The voice acquisition module is used to acquire the voice signal of the user;

[0028] The processor is used to extract the voiceprint feature from the voice signal of the user, input the voiceprint feature into the voiceprint recognition model for voiceprint recognition. If the recognized user is an employee, it sends a door access opening instruction to the access control module to open the door, generates attendance data, and uploads the attendance data to the server.

[0029] The cute pet attendance access control robot in the embodiments of this application adopts a miniaturized and lightweight design, which is convenient for installation and movement. The robot body can be made of low-cost plastic or aluminum alloy materials. Core components such as a power module, a processor, a communication module, an audio collection module, and a power amplifier module are integrated inside the robot body. The power module uses a rechargeable lithium battery to ensure the continuous operation of the robot. The processor can select a microcontroller with moderate performance and low price, such as the ARM series microcontroller, which is responsible for the control and data processing of the entire cute pet attendance access control robot. Further, a display module, such as a liquid crystal display screen, can also be installed on the robot body to display the working status of the cute pet attendance access control robot, welcome messages, appointment information of visitors, attendance data, etc. The display screen can adopt a touch design to facilitate user operation and interaction.

[0030] The voice collection module can select a high-sensitivity microphone array, which can accurately collect sound signals in different environments. The microphone array improves the accuracy and anti-interference ability of voiceprint collection through noise reduction technology and beamforming technology. The voice collection module can also preprocess the collected sound signals (such as noise removal processing), and then transmit them to the processor for voiceprint feature extraction and voiceprint recognition. The voice collection module can be installed at the access control to collect the sound signals of employees or visitors at the enterprise entrance.

[0031] After receiving the sound signal sent by the voice collection module, the processor extracts voiceprint features (such as Mel frequency cepstral coefficients, fundamental frequency, formants, etc.) from the sound signal, and then inputs the voiceprint features into the voiceprint recognition model for voiceprint recognition. If the current user is identified as an employee, the access control opening instruction is sent to the access control module to open the access control, and the attendance data of the current employee is generated. At the same time, the welcome message and attendance data can be displayed through the display module, and the attendance data is uploaded to the server.

[0032] It should be noted that a deep learning model can be used to construct the voiceprint recognition model. By collecting or obtaining a large number of voiceprint samples from a public database, preprocessing them and extracting voiceprint features (multiple types of voiceprint features can be extracted in advance), the extracted voiceprint features are used as training data and input into a deep neural network for training, so that it can recognize the voiceprints of different people. The trained voiceprint recognition model is deployed in the processor of the attendance robot. Of course, the voiceprint recognition model can also be deployed in the server. When the processor obtains a sound signal, it can upload it to the server for voiceprint recognition, and then perform attendance management and access control according to the voiceprint recognition result returned by the server to reduce the computing overhead of the attendance robot. The voiceprint recognition model can also be deployed in both the attendance robot and the server at the same time. When the network is normal, voiceprint recognition can be performed through the server; when the network is abnormal, voiceprint recognition can be performed through the voiceprint recognition model deployed locally on the attendance robot.

[0033] The attendance robot communicates with the server and external devices through a communication module. The communication module includes a WIFI module and a Bluetooth module. The WIFI module is used to connect to the enterprise internal network or the Internet to realize data interaction between the cute pet attendance access control robot and the server. The Bluetooth module is used to perform short-distance communication with mobile devices within a preset distance.

[0034] Furthermore, the cute pet attendance access control robot in this application can be connected to a visitor reservation system. The visitor reservation system can provide a visitor reservation platform based on the Web or a mobile application. Visitors can fill in reservation information through this visitor reservation platform, including name, contact information (such as mobile phone number), visiting time, visited person, contact information of the visited person, etc. Visitors can also input voice data in this visitor reservation platform. For example, the visitor reservation platform provides sentences of a preset length for visitors to read aloud, or the visitor reservation platform asks visitors questions to obtain reservation information and collect the voice data of visitors at the same time. After the visitor reservation system obtains the reservation information, it will automatically send a notice to the visited person. After the visited person confirms the reservation information, the visitor reservation system stores the reservation information in the server. The robot obtains the visitor's reservation information by communicating with the server and performs identity verification and guidance when the visitor arrives. Specifically, the identity of the visitor can be verified according to the mobile phone number in the reservation information, or the voiceprint recognition method can be used to verify the identity of the visitor. The voice signal of the visitor collected by the voice acquisition module is compared with the voice data in the visitor's reservation information in the visitor reservation system to verify whether the current visitor is the same person as the visitor in the visitor reservation system. After verification that they are the same person, a door access opening instruction is sent to the door access control module to open the door access and display visitor guidance information.

[0035] The cute pet attendance access control robot in this application is generally installed at the front desk of the company, which is convenient for attendance clocking in and linking the access control to open the door. It can also be used as an intelligent front desk, can interact with the user by voice, and can answer questions. Specifically, the processor responds to the voice interaction command triggered by the user (such as the user can trigger the voice interaction command by calling the name of the cute pet attendance access control robot or a predefined sentence). At this time, the audio collection module built into the cute pet attendance access control robot will collect the voice content of the user's question, and the processor will convert the currently collected voice content into text, and then send the request information to the server. The server is deployed with an intelligent reasoning model, which is a trained large language model. The server obtains the text from the request information and inputs the text into the intelligent reasoning model for intelligent reasoning, generates a reply content and returns it to the cute pet attendance access control robot. The processor converts the reply content into voice and plays it through the speaker on the robot body, thereby realizing voice interaction. The cute pet attendance access control robot can also realize functions such as information query. For example, company personnel can choose to query attendance data through the menu page on the display screen of the robot, and can query the attendance data of the corresponding employee by entering the employee's name or work number. It should be noted that employees in different positions are set with different data query permissions. When a user queries information, the cute pet attendance access control robot will authenticate the current user, and then determine the user's data query permissions based on the current user's identity information (such as position, etc.), and display the information that the user has permission to view. For information that the user does not have permission to view, it can display prompt information such as "You currently do not have permission to view". The attendance access control robot in this application is used for attendance management of corporate employees and visitor reception, which helps to improve the management efficiency and image of the company.

[0036] Furthermore, the robot body also includes a personnel management module, which is used to manage employee information (including name, work number, department, position, etc.) and attendance data, as well as set access rights (such as areas allowed to enter, entry time, etc.) according to the employee's position and work requirements. The personnel management module can be used to add, modify or delete employee information, and can also generate reports, charts and images based on employee attendance data through a generative model, and typeset the reports, charts and images, and finally output them in the form of word, PPT, PDF, etc., to avoid manual generation of attendance reports and improve report generation efficiency.

[0037] The cute pet attendance and access control robot provided by this application can avoid proxy card punching for attendance by collecting the voice signals of employees for voiceprint recognition, and can improve the problem of low stability existing in fingerprint recognition and face recognition. Moreover, by using the cute pet attendance and access control robot for attendance management and linking to open the access control, this application can also be used as an intelligent front desk for intelligent question answering, visitor appointment, personnel management, etc. It integrates multiple functions such as voiceprint recognition, intelligent front desk, visitor appointment, access control unlocking, and personnel management, meeting the diverse needs of enterprises in attendance and access control management.
