Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meeting check-in management technology, and in particular to a meeting check-in device and system. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of social informatization and the advent of the knowledge economy era, technology summits, academic forums, and various exchange meetings are experiencing exponential growth. Against this backdrop, the traditional paper-based sign-in system has revealed multiple efficiency bottlenecks: First, in terms of operational efficiency, manual registration for meetings with over a thousand participants is time-consuming and easily leads to congestion at entrances; second, in terms of security control, handwriting recognition-based verification mechanisms are prone to proxy signing and lack real-time identity verification capabilities, making it difficult to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering core meeting areas. This traditional management method, centered on physical media and manual operation, cannot meet the precise control requirements of modern meetings regarding personnel movement and creates significant management blind spots in areas such as data security and emergency response.
[0003] Currently, many organizations both domestically and internationally have developed check-in systems, such as those using fingerprint or card swiping. However, both fingerprint and card swiping check-in devices have a large overall area, or redundant setups of multiple identical devices result in significant space consumption. Therefore, providing a check-in management device that is space-efficient and offers complete performance has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
