About niroKey Face Recognition Device

Ang niroKey ay isang face recognition device para sa access control, pag-sign-in sa mga kumperensya, pagtala ng dalo ng staff, pagtanggap ng bisita, at pagbabayad. Ang bilog na hugis at kurbadong salaming harapan ay lumilikha ng iisang tuluy-tuloy na katawan na may matte white finish para sa magiliw na anyo. Sinusuportahan ng visible light at infrared cameras ang secure na pagkilala, habang ang nakatagong fill light ay nagbibigay-daan sa paggamit sa madidilim o may-liwanag-sa-likod na lugar. Nakikilala ang isang mukha sa loob lamang ng humigit-kumulang kalahating segundo. Ikinakalat ng aluminum housing ang init, at ang modular bracket ay angkop para sa pag-install sa desktop, dingding, at sahig.

Unique Properties: niroKey is a universal face recognition device for access control, conference sign-in, company attendance, visitor reception, and payment scenarios. It can complete identification with a seamless user experience improving the smart management efficiency of enterprise. NIRO-Key uses an elegant and round design, combined with 2.5D curved glass and matt white CMF to create a unibody design language for a more friendly user experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 400mm x 140mm x 140mm
Tags: Face recognition, AI, office equipment, smart assistant, access control, payment
Production Technology: In order to achieve rapid heat dissipation, the whole machine uses aluminum material, and the overall heat dissipation performance is excellent. The visible light and infrared cameras can realize biological recognition for high safety. The fill light on the top of the device allows the device to work normally in backlit or dark environments. The fill light is subtly hidden in the gradient printing details at the top of the screen, and the visual experience is completely integrated.
Design Challenge: In order to meet completely different use scenarios, the product has a modular design while retaining as many common parts as possible. Retractable, adjustable angle, flexible assembly and disassembly of the modular equipment bracket, can be adapted to a variety of heights of the desktop, wall-mounted installation, floor-mounted installation and other scenarios.
Research: By studying user feedback on similar products, we noticed a user perception： Almost all similar products use serious geometric shapes with tough edges to build a professional sense, however this will make users feel tension when facing them bringing a perception of products being cruel tools. By this insight, NIRO-Key has an elegant & round design language to bring more friendly & comfortable experience. After recognizing users, the device can greet in a warm manner to provide user cares.
Inspiration: With the development of face recognition technology, related products have begun to be used in access control, conference sign-in, company attendance, visitor reception, and payment scenarios. Now the products in the market are mainly targeted at one single scenario. Different scenarios require different products to be deployed, and enterprise needs complex deployments. We hope to produce a universal product that can cover all usage scenarios to enable quick enterprise deployment.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 in Beijing and ends in January 2020.
It was first released at Baidu Create 2019 – Baidu AI Developer Conference in July 2019.
Then in September 2019, the functional prototype was exhibited at the 2019 Baidu 2019 ABC INSPIRE Summit.
Operation Flow: The device can recognize face in 0.5 second and realizes a non-stop experience. Compared to the traditional face recognition device with a single display screen, NIRO-Key has a touch screen, which brings richer self-service functions such as visitor service and self-checkout. Users only need to upload selfies to the cloud with mobile phone to achieve registration. The device has wireless control function allowing on-site upgrade to provide an efficient operation and maintenance.
