[0024] In specific implementation, the inner wall of the outer sheet metal part 1 is configured with an operating system composed of a standard i5 CPU, an H81 motherboard, and a hard disk, and a face recognition algorithm is built in the operating system. The camera 8 specifically selects a photographing camera that can support face recognition. On this basis, the face position of the person taking the photo is judged through the photographing camera, so that the linear module 6 can be controlled by the system to automatically adjust the height of the camera 8 in real time.

[0025] Furthermore, the display module 7 selects a 13.3-inch capacitive touch screen.

[0026] It should be supplemented that the device also has an AI matte algorithm that can intelligently replace the complex background of the person taking the photo to adapt to the daily shooting environment. In addition, it is equipped with a voice module that can give voice prompts so that even the elderly can operate.

[0027] It should be noted that the acquisition structure 11 includes a left fingerprint collector 111, an ID card reader 112, a QR code scanner 113, and a right fingerprint collector 114 fixedly installed on the inner sheet metal part 10. The surface of the inner sheet metal part 10 has installation openings corresponding to any component of the acquisition structure 11, facilitating the installation of the acquisition structure 1 on the inner sheet metal part 10, so that the acquisition structure 11 can be placed inside the outer sheet metal part 1.

[0028] Specifically, the ID card reader 112 is embedded with a special security control module of the Ministry of Public Security. The effective image of the fingerprint collector is 32.5mm * 32.5mm; single-finger rolling acquisition; resolution 500DPI / pixel 640 * 640; gray level 256level; acquisition speed: ≥20 frames / second.

[0029] In order to supplement light for on-site photography, a first supplementary light 9 is fixedly installed outside the support frame 5 in this embodiment, and a second supplementary light 13 is fixedly installed on the inner sheet metal part 10. The support frame 5 and the inner sheet metal part 10 are arranged vertically.

[0030] This design enables the first supplementary light 9 and the second supplementary light 13 not to interfere with each other, and they are respectively used for supplementing light for photography and reading.

[0031] Specifically, the first supplementary light 9 and the second supplementary light 13 are selected as constant LED constant light sources, and are rectangular to evenly illuminate the user's left and right faces and forehead.

[0032] In this embodiment, an acrylic board 14 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the outer sheet metal part 1 to protect the inner sheet metal part 10, and a back plate 15 is also fixedly installed on the rear side surface of the outer sheet metal part 1 to serve as the equipment housing part that closes the outer sheet metal part 1.

[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0037] When the user needs to take an ID photo, they select the photo-taking function by operating the display screen of the display module 7. At this time, the camera 8 in the device is turned on, and the facial information of the user in front of the device is collected through the camera 8. After confirming the position of the user's face, the linear module 6 drives the display module 7 to move, so that the face captured by the camera 8 can be automatically positioned to the middle position. Subsequently, the face is photographed through the high-definition camera, and the photographed information is imported into the device's operating system. After the AI matte extraction module intelligently replaces the complex background of the photographed photo, the user selects the background color, and the self-service photo-taking process can be completed by printing through the photo printer in the printing device 4;

[0038] When the user needs to print the ID card, they select the printing function by operating the display screen of the display module 7. The ID card with user information, QR code or fingerprint information is collected through the collector 11, and then typeset by the device's operating system. The A4 printer in the printing device 4 completes the timely printing of the document. After the user exits the device's operating system, the system prints the receipt through the thermal printer 12.
