Visitor Access Kiosk Authentication for Premises Security Screening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security control systems for premises often fail to provide adequate screening and tracking of visitors due to human error and lack of effective monitoring, leading to potential security breaches, despite increased manpower which does not necessarily translate to better security.
Innovation Solution
A security control system and method that issues an identification tag electronically to visitors before arrival, scans and authenticates it upon entry, and provides a self-service kiosk for dispensing identification tokens, allowing for enhanced screening and monitoring without the need for constant security personnel presence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the number of security personnel is increased to improve security screening, then security coverage is improved, but operational cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated screening where visitors independently present identification, the system automatically verifies credentials against databases, and access decisions are made without human intervention. This eliminates the need for security personnel to manually screen each visitor while maintaining comprehensive security coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual security screening processes are replaced with automated electronic systems including biometric scanners, database verification systems, and automated access control mechanisms. This substitution transforms human-dependent security operations into machine-driven processes that operate continuously without fatigue or error.
2Loss of information
If manual security screening is performed to track visitor whereabouts, then security monitoring is improved, but time consumption and labor requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Visitor information is pre-registered and stored in databases before arrival. When visitors arrive, the system automatically retrieves and verifies their information in seconds, eliminating the need for manual data collection and verification during the screening process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously collects and updates visitor location data through automated scanning at various access points throughout the facility. This real-time feedback mechanism automatically tracks visitor whereabouts and updates security personnel without requiring manual reporting or observation.
3Productivity
If automated access control is implemented to reduce manpower, then operational efficiency is improved, but initial system cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The automated system performs multiple functions including identification verification, biometric authentication, database checking, access decision-making, and visitor tracking through a single integrated platform. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into one cohesive infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses various authentication parameters such as biometric data, identification document numbers, and access authorization levels to verify visitor credentials. By changing and comparing these parameters against stored data, the system achieves accurate verification without manual intervention.

AI summary
The present invention provides a method for granting a visitor access into a premise. The security control method includes determining an identification tag, transmitting the identification tag to the visitor, scanning the identification tag of the visitor, authenticating the identification tag, generating an approving signal upon positive authentication of the identification tag, dispensing an identification token to the visitor upon receiving the approving signal, scanning the identification token of the visitor, and authenticating the identification token to grant the visitor access into the premise. The present invention further provides a security control system for the security control method.
