Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of airport security and operations management technology, specifically to a method and system for second-level linkage of video access control at airport boarding bridges. Background Technology

[0002] The boarding bridge access involves various personnel movement control needs in three directions, and its management is crucial to airport safety and operations. Currently, each boarding bridge's central staircase has one security personnel assigned during flight operations, primarily responsible for personnel identification and access control. Back-end management personnel cannot view the on-site verification and passage status in real time, nor can they record the personnel and situations involved.

[0003] The boarding bridge passageways involve a diverse group of people, including flight crew, ground staff, maintenance personnel, security personnel, and passengers, with multiple traffic directions and complex management, currently lacking effective management measures. Existing access control systems are relatively independent, only involving simple door opening and closing operations, and have a single verification mode, failing to meet diverse on-site control requirements and increasing management difficulty. They also cannot meet the application scenarios of controlling access permissions for special personnel such as flight crew, relying solely on manual verification of personnel identities, with limited technical protection measures that cannot meet increasingly stringent security management standards. Furthermore, the lack of effective technical integration methods prevents true integration of access control and monitoring systems, hindering data interconnection and management, limiting management methods, and heavily relying on manual labor. Therefore, we propose a second-level linkage method and system based on airport boarding bridge video access control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a second-level linkage method and system for video access control based on airport boarding bridges, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a second-level linkage method based on airport boarding bridge video access control includes the following steps: S1. Install intelligent video intercom terminals at key locations in the boarding bridge passage. The video intercom terminals integrate a card reader, a password input module, a biometric identification module, and a one-button call module. S2. Establish and operate a comprehensive monitoring platform to centrally monitor and manage the access control status, alarm information and video footage of multiple boarding bridges; S3. When the intelligent video intercom terminal triggers an event, the integrated supervision platform and the airport security video surveillance system platform will work together within seconds to automatically retrieve and display the real-time monitoring video screen associated with the event location. The triggered event includes at least one of the following: remote access control call, authorized personnel verification and passage, unauthorized door opening, and door not closed alarm.

[0006] As a preferred option, this also includes crew member access control, specifically: Crew information verification terminals are set up at security checkpoints to verify the flight mission documents of crew members and to obtain the facial information of crew members through a facial capture system. Logically link and bind the facial information, flight information, authorized boarding bridge number, and valid time period of the verified crew members to generate temporary access permissions; Temporary access permissions are granted to the designated access control system, authorizing crew members to pass through autonomously within the valid time period; Temporary access will automatically expire after the valid period period.

[0007] As a preferred method, when the triggering event is "remote access control call", the integrated monitoring platform automatically displays at least two real-time video feeds, including near-field video feeds from the smart video intercom terminal and channel monitoring feeds from the security video surveillance system; after backend management personnel verify the identity of the caller through at least two video feeds, they can perform remote door opening operations through the platform.

[0008] As a preferred option, it also includes bridge status management, specifically: The operational status of the covered bridge can be manually switched through the integrated monitoring platform. The operational status includes "operating covered bridge" and "no operating covered bridge". When the walkway is in a "no-operation walkway" state, if the access control fails to close within a preset time, an alarm will be triggered and the back-end management personnel will be notified. When the walkway is in "operating walkway" mode, the "no alarm if door is not closed" function can be activated. This function will automatically turn off after the access control is closed normally.

[0009] As a preferred option, this also includes handling of tailing events, specifically: When video surveillance reveals that staff or passengers are following authorized personnel, backend management personnel can remotely use the intercom function of the intelligent video intercom terminal to stop them. If they do not heed the warnings, the shift leader will be notified and the on-site supervisor will be notified to handle the situation. At the same time, the physical characteristics of the following person will be recorded and the information will be reported through the platform.

[0010] As a preferred option, fault handling is also included, specifically: When a malfunction is detected in the access control system, the staff on duty will report it to the shift leader through the platform or intercom system and contact the maintenance personnel. Before the repair is completed, a supervisor will be arranged to go to the location of the malfunctioning access control system to manually control access.

[0011] A second-level linkage system based on airport boarding bridge video access control, used to achieve any of the above-mentioned second-level linkage methods based on airport boarding bridge video access control, including a front-end device layer, a monitoring linkage layer, and a back-end management layer; The front-end device layer includes intelligent video intercom terminals and crew information verification terminals deployed in the boarding bridge passage. The monitoring linkage layer is used to interface with the airport's existing security video surveillance system platform to obtain and link real-time monitoring images; The backend management layer includes a comprehensive monitoring platform, an administrator workstation, and an intercom terminal, which are used for centralized monitoring, status management, permission configuration, and remote operation.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the comprehensive regulatory platform specifically refers to: Real-time display of the opening, closing, and fault status of each boarding bridge access control; Record the identity information and passage time of all persons passing through; Implement hierarchical and categorized alarms, and issue warning pop-ups and automatically save video footage for unauthorized door opening and door-opening events. It supports centralized status monitoring and video / voice intercom for multiple working covered bridges.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention deeply integrates multiple isolated systems such as access control, video surveillance, intercom, and flight information to construct a unified comprehensive monitoring platform. Backend administrators are transformed from passively receiving alarms to proactively monitoring with visibility, achieving global awareness of the passage status in the boarding bridge area and enabling second-level remote intervention. This changes the inefficient management model that relies on manual monitoring and telephone communication, significantly improving airport operational efficiency.

[0014] This invention dynamically binds crew access permissions to flight mission sheets, flight numbers, and valid time periods, achieving "on-demand allocation and expiration" of permissions. This fundamentally solves the long-term security risks caused by lost access cards or leaked passwords. Simultaneously, the dual-view video verification mechanism provides double protection for remote identity confirmation, effectively preventing tailgating and unauthorized entry, and significantly improving the security control level of key areas.

[0015] This invention introduces an intelligent alarm strategy based on the operational status of the jet bridge. During flight operations, non-critical alarms such as "door not closed" can be temporarily suppressed, while during non-operational periods, the alarms are strictly enforced. This significantly reduces the number of invalid alarms, avoids alarm fatigue, accurately focuses on real risks, thereby reducing the workload of employees and optimizing human resource allocation.

[0016] This invention automatically records all access control operations, personnel information, intercom calls, and alarm events, and links and stores this data with real-time video recordings on site, forming a complete and tamper-proof electronic evidence chain. This provides a solid basis for the post-event investigation and liability determination of any abnormal access events or security disputes, and strengthens the closed loop of security management.

[0017] This invention provides crew and other internal personnel with a "one-click call" and second-level response door opening function, simplifying the passage process and reflecting humanized service. Simultaneously, in the event of emergencies such as tailgating or system failures, back-end personnel can remotely and instantly use the video intercom system to stop the tailgating and quickly contact on-site forces for handling, realizing a shift from passive response to proactive early warning and rapid collaborative handling, thus enhancing the airport's overall emergency response capabilities.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a block diagram of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This invention provides a technical solution: a second-level linkage method based on airport boarding bridge video access control, comprising the following steps: S1. Install intelligent video intercom terminals at key locations in the boarding bridge passageway. Each video intercom terminal integrates a card reader, password input module, biometric identification module, and one-button call module. S2. Establish and operate a comprehensive monitoring platform for centralized monitoring and management of access control status, alarm information, and video feeds from multiple boarding bridges. S3. When an event is triggered by the intelligent video intercom terminal, the comprehensive monitoring platform and the airport security video surveillance system platform will work together within seconds to automatically retrieve and display real-time monitoring video feeds associated with the event location. Triggered events include at least one of the following: remote access control call, authorized personnel verification, unauthorized door opening, and door not closed alarm.

[0021] It should be noted that during use, when a ground staff member successfully verifies their identity using facial recognition and a pass on the smart video intercom terminal, the access control opens. Simultaneously, this successful verification event is immediately reported to the integrated monitoring platform. The platform then triggers the monitoring linkage layer, automatically displaying real-time monitoring footage of the vicinity of the access point on a screen area of ​​the administrator's workstation according to a preset mapping relationship. The administrator can intuitively see personnel passage and the on-site environment without manually searching for videos, achieving "verification equals monitoring." When a crew member needs to pass through, they press the "one-click call" button on the access control system. The platform receives the "remote access control call" event and instantly displays two screens: one is a close-up view taken by the terminal's built-in camera, and the other is a panoramic view from the overhead monitoring system. After verifying the crew member's credentials and flight mission list through both screens, the backend administrator clicks the "remote open door" button on the platform, and the access control system opens. The entire process is efficient, secure, and recorded.

[0022] S4. Crew Member Access Management; S41. Set up a crew information verification terminal at the security checkpoint to verify the flight mission documents of the crew members and obtain their facial information through a facial recognition system; S42. Logically associate and bind the verified crew members' facial information, flight information, authorized boarding bridge number, and valid time period to generate temporary access permissions; S43. Issue the temporary access permissions to the designated access control system, authorizing the crew members to pass through independently within the valid time period; S44. The temporary access permissions automatically expire after the valid time period.

[0023] It should be noted that the crew information verification terminal is deployed next to the security checkpoint before staff enter the isolation area. It consists of a business workstation, a document scanner and a dedicated face capture unit. The face capture unit is installed in a well-lit location, and the operation interface integrates a flight information query interface. In use, when the captain presents the flight mission sheet to security personnel at the security checkpoint, the security personnel enter the flight number on the crew information verification terminal. The system automatically verifies its validity, and then a dedicated camera captures a photo of the captain's face. After the security personnel confirm the photo, the system "binds" the information to the terminal interface. The system then logically associates the captain's facial information, flight number, planned boarding bridge number, and the validity period of the access permission. This permission is instantly issued to the access control terminal of that boarding bridge. When the captain arrives at that boarding bridge, he can simply pass through by scanning his face. Once the flight takes off, the permission automatically expires, and even if the captain returns, he will not be able to open the door.

[0024] When the trigger event is "remote access control call", the integrated monitoring platform automatically displays at least two real-time video feeds, including a near-field video feed from the smart video intercom terminal and a channel monitoring feed from the security video surveillance system. After verifying the identity of the caller through at least two video feeds, the backend management personnel perform a remote door opening operation through the platform.

[0025] S5. Corridor Bridge Status Management; S51. Manually switch the operating status of the corridor bridge through the integrated monitoring platform. The operating status includes "operating corridor bridge" and "no operating corridor bridge". S52. When the corridor bridge is in the "no operating corridor bridge" status, if the access control fails to close within the preset time, an alarm will be triggered and the back-end management personnel will be notified. S53. When the corridor bridge is in the "operating corridor bridge" status, the "no alarm if door is not closed" function can be enabled. This function will automatically turn off after the access control is closed normally.

[0026] It should be noted that during flight intervals, the administrator sets the gate number (e.g., gate 105) to "no-operation gate" status on the integrated monitoring platform. In this case, if any access control point on that gate is opened for more than a preset time, the platform immediately issues an audible and visual alarm and highlights it on the large screen, notifying management personnel to handle the situation. When the flight number entered in step S3 begins its operation, the administrator switches gate 105 to "operation gate" and selects the "no alarm if door is not closed" function. During the operation, personnel and equipment frequently enter and exit, but the door remains open without triggering an alarm, avoiding interference. After the operation ends, the access control points close normally, this function automatically deactivates, and the system returns to a high-sensitivity alarm state.

[0027] S6. Handling of tailgating incidents; S61. When video surveillance reveals that staff or passengers are following authorized personnel, backend management personnel can remotely shout to stop them using the intercom function of the intelligent video intercom terminal; S62. If they do not heed the warning, the shift leader will be notified and the on-site supervisor will be notified to handle the situation. At the same time, the physical characteristics of the following person will be recorded and the information will be reported through the platform.

[0028] It should be noted that if a backend monitor discovers a passenger following a group into the boarding bridge passage during video patrols, they will immediately select the smart video intercom terminal in that area through the platform and initiate a remote announcement: "Dear passenger, this passage is for staff only. Please step back. Thank you for your cooperation." If the passenger ignores the warning and continues forward, the administrator will report the incident to the shift supervisor with one click on the platform; notify the nearest on-site monitor to intercept the passenger; simultaneously, take screenshots and record video on the platform, notifying the passenger's clothing and physical characteristics, and report the details of the incident to the public security bureau and relevant service departments through the platform's internal communication module.

[0029] S7. Troubleshooting; S71. When a fault is detected in the access control system, the staff on duty shall report to the shift leader through the platform or intercom system and contact the maintenance personnel; S72. Before the repair is completed, a supervisor shall be arranged to go to the faulty access control location to conduct manual access control.

[0030] It should be noted that during flight operations, if the access control gate of the boarding bridge suddenly loses power and malfunctions, the staff on duty will immediately report to the shift supervisor using a walkie-talkie or through the platform's built-in communication function, and simultaneously contact the information support department to request repairs. Before the repair personnel arrive and repair the gate, the shift supervisor will use the platform's dispatch system to instruct a monitor to immediately go to the malfunctioning access control gate for manual monitoring and control of personnel passage, thereby ensuring that there is no vacuum in safety control during the technical failure period.

[0031] A second-level linkage system based on airport boarding bridge video access control, used to achieve any of the above-mentioned second-level linkage methods based on airport boarding bridge video access control, including a front-end device layer, a monitoring linkage layer, and a back-end management layer; The front-end equipment layer includes intelligent video intercom terminals and crew information verification terminals deployed in the boarding bridge passageway; The monitoring and linkage layer is used to interface with the airport's existing security video surveillance system platform to obtain and link real-time monitoring images; The backend management layer includes a comprehensive monitoring platform, administrator workstations, and intercom terminals, used for centralized monitoring, status management, permission configuration, and remote operation. The comprehensive monitoring platform specifically consists of: It displays the opening, closing, and fault status of each boarding bridge access control in real time; records the identity information and passage time of all personnel passing through; implements hierarchical and classified alarms, and provides early warning pop-ups and automatic video saving for unauthorized door opening and door not being closed events; supports centralized status monitoring and video and voice intercom for multiple boarding bridges in operation.

[0032] It should be noted that the integrated monitoring platform is deployed on servers in the airport's data center, using a B / S (browser / server) architecture. The platform's database stores all personnel permissions, access records, alarm logs, and associated video indexes; administrators log in to the platform's web interface on their workstations for global monitoring. It is also equipped with full-duplex IP intercom microphones and headsets.

[0033] In summary, this invention seamlessly integrates four major systems: access control, video surveillance, intercom, and flight tracking, breaking down information silos. Through event-driven, second-level video linkage, it transforms backend management from passively receiving alarms to proactive, visual monitoring. Crew permissions are dynamically bound to flight missions, achieving "pre-authorization, in-process use, and post-event invalidation," resulting in precise safety management. Alarm management based on operational status significantly reduces invalid alarms, improves operational efficiency, and lowers workload.

[0034] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
