Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart hotel technology, specifically a novel vertical hotel self-check-in machine. Background Technology

[0002] Smart hotels refer to a modern hotel model that utilizes next-generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data to comprehensively upgrade hotel facilities, service processes, and operational management with intelligent technology, thereby enhancing guest experience, operational efficiency, and management level. This is mainly reflected in intelligent check-in and check-out, intelligent customer services, personalized service, efficient operation and management, intelligent security and safety management, smart dining and entertainment, environmental protection and sustainable development, and a seamlessly connected digital experience. Intelligent check-in can be achieved through hotel self-service check-in kiosks, providing hotel guests with a convenient and efficient self-service check-in experience. Existing new-style standing hotel self-service check-in kiosks are intelligent devices integrating multiple functions, including identity recognition, order processing, payment settlement, room card issuance and management, and receipt printing.

[0003] Standing self-service check-in machines in hotels are typically placed in the hotel lobby, connected to a wall-mounted power outlet via a power cord. However, the power cord, which drags on the floor for extended periods, hinders lobby cleanliness, creates cleaning dead zones, and causes wear and tear, shortening its lifespan. Therefore, a new type of standing self-service check-in machine is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
