In just two months, China controlled the epidemic, not only thanks to the cooperation of the state leaders and the whole society, but also thanks to the scientific and technological means to improve the efficiency of epidemic prevention. From the aspects of scanning payment, face recognition, infrared temperature measurement and so on, although foreign countries accuse us, they see that China's epidemic prevention has achieved remarkable results, and they also start to draw lessons from China's epidemic prevention methods.
Under the epidemic situation, contactless code scanning payment is rising in the UK
Mobile payment is very popular in China. It's more convenient and efficient to reduce contact. But in foreign countries, many people are still used to using cash, membership recharge card, credit card and other payment methods that need media. In order to reduce personnel contact, 358 supermarket chains in the UK have launched self-service cash collection payment, which allows customers to scan product bar codes through mobile phones for self-service cash collection, reduce contact transmission caused by cash and credit card transmission, and block part of the way of epidemic transmission.
To track the spread of the epidemic, face recognition has been used in the United States
Although the attitude of foreign countries towards face recognition technology is reserved, they are worried that too much face recognition will cause personal information disclosure. However, in the epidemic period, face recognition technology has also been applied to case tracking. Some face recognition terminals even have the functions of population statistics, mask recognition and so on.
According to foreign security companies, using face recognition terminals costs only about $1000 a year, which is much cheaper than hiring security personnel. The application of intelligent temperature measurement terminal is more error free than hand detection, and the accuracy is also very high. Combining face recognition and non-contact temperature measurement, it can also realize "early detection", "early tracking" and "early treatment", and reduce the spread range of the virus.
