Self-service has infiltrated almost every aspect of daily life, and the self-service market has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. Ordering, checkout and accepting payments are just a small part of the functions of self-service kiosks. More self-service kiosks have been applied in public places to confirm identities and enhance security.
In many public entertainment places like Internet cafes, video arcades, dance halls, etc., minors are forbidden to enter on non-holidays, in case they skip classes. Therefore, confirming identities of customers before entering is necessary. Self-service kiosks play an important role in streamlining check-in process and enhancing security of public places.
In China, Internet cafes are obliged to check and register the ID cards or other valid documents of Internet users. This regulation enhances security of Internet cafes greatly, but pushes Internet café operators in a dilemma at the same time. Manual inspection brings a higher labor cost and lower verification efficiency. What’s worse, those customers who suffer social phobia may resist contacting with real person and has a not good experience.
Self-service kiosks, which is often used in supermarkets and fast-food restaurants to save costs and improve efficiency, can also be applied in other public places. Recently, Telpo K7, the 21.5-inch self-service kiosks, have been introduced in Internet cafes and brought lots of convenience.
How do self-service kiosks work in the Internet cafes?
The kiosks replace the roles of staffs who are responsible for certificate verification. With a self-service kiosk, customers just need to stand in front of the kiosk and touch the screen to start their verification process. Thanks to the camera and face recognition algorithm, customers without bringing their ID cards can verify their identities by swipe their faces.
Modern Internet cafes not only provide a place for people to go online, they also provide value-added services, such as selling snacks and drinks. Self-service kiosks make customers finish the purchase process on their own.
