Smart Gate Bracelet With Thermal Entry Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing manual health verification processes for entry into facilities, such as universities and hospitals, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, posing risks to security personnel and causing traffic congestion, while existing smart gate technologies do not adequately address the need for rapid, automated verification of vaccination status and temperature checks.
Innovation Solution
A smart gate system equipped with a thermal sensor for temperature measurement, a QR code reader for health status verification, a database for maintaining visitor information, a gate controller for authorization, and a server for determining entry eligibility, ensuring automated and secure access control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual health verification is performed by security persons, then health status can be verified, but verification time is long and security persons are exposed to disease risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification by security persons with an automated smart gate system that uses QR code scanning and thermal imaging to verify health status, eliminating the need for human security persons to physically check documents and temperatures while reducing verification time
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service verification where visitors present their own QR codes and undergo automatic temperature checks without requiring security persons to manually verify health status, allowing the verification process to occur independently and rapidly
2Reliability
If manual health verification is performed at entry points, then health status can be checked, but traffic congestion is created
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces slow manual verification processes with automated optical (QR code scanning) and thermal imaging systems that can rapidly assess multiple visitors simultaneously, dramatically increasing entry throughput and eliminating traffic congestion at facility entry points
3Reliability
If security persons manually check health status and temperature, then health verification can be performed, but security persons are exposed to virus risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces direct human contact verification with automated systems that use QR code scanning and thermal imaging to check health status and temperature remotely, completely eliminating disease exposure risk to security persons while maintaining verification reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces QR codes and thermal imaging technology as intermediaries between visitors and security personnel, allowing health verification to occur without direct human contact and thereby protecting security persons from virus exposure
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system provides rapid, secure, and contactless entry verification, reducing the need for human labor and minimizing congestion by automating the process of checking vaccination status and body temperature, thus ensuring safe and efficient access.
Implementation Method 1
a thermal sensor for measuring a temperature of a visitor
Data Source
AI summary
A smart gate system, and method, includes a thermal sensor for measuring a temperature of a visitor and transmitting the measured temperature, a QR code reader to read a health status QR code having a date range and transmitting a message including health status information of the visitor and a request for entry, a gate controller receiving a control signal for permitting or denying entry through a gate, a server for determining that the health status information and the temperature of the visitor indicate that the visitor has not contracted a predetermined virus and that the visitor is a registered visitor, and responding to the request for entry by transmitting the control signal to the gate controller in accordance with the determination and whether the health status QR code is within the predetermined date range, and the gate controller controlling opening of the gate based on the control signal.
