Magnetic card and IC card
Under the condition that there are a variety of electronic card gates, what kind of media card does the hotel choose? The magnetic card was born in the early 1970s and was limited to the industrial field in Europe. Its development is extremely rapid, and it is estimated that the number of magnetic cards circulating this year can reach more than 2 billion. This very low cost magnetic card is used in a variety of applications where much information can be stored on its magnetic strip. However, its storage capacity is not large, and the security performance can be accomplished by means of encryption, and it can also be opened without being encrypted. It has higher requirements on the network, because most of the magnetic cards represent a kind of authentication, and the processing of various services is completed by the corresponding central computer.
The IC card, also known as the IC card, was invented by the Frenchman Moran in the 1970s. It is a credit card sized plastic card with integrated circuit chips. It is this card that has ROM, RAM, CPU , EEPROM, etc., similar to a microprocessor. Therefore, the |C card has excellent information processing performance that the magnetic card does not have. Such as large storage capacity, good confidentiality, and computing functions. It can be used without a network, and sometimes it can also be used as an e-wallet. Its development prospects are broad, and this year it can occupy a market share that is almost the same as magnetic cards. But its cost is higher, about 10 times that of a magnetic card. There are also some types of electronic cards, which are not detailed here.
Why choose a magnetic card
Beijing Hotel chose the magnetic card. This is because the first guest stays in the store and then checks the accounts. Therefore, from the perspective of hotel management, all the receivables of the guests are required to be recorded in the management system of the hotel front desk without entering the money. Guest card. Second, the network construction within the hotel is complete. Each consumer site has matching equipment and is a building network in a broad sense. Third, the hotel's service to customers is different from many self-services for saving human resources. Therefore, the identification of guests is very important. Fourth, in-house guests generally hold consumer cards such as Master, V|SA, AMER|CANEXPRESS, Great Wall, Peony, and Dragon Card. These are determined by the external environment and historical conditions, all of which are magnetic cards. Fifth, the cost of the magnetic card is quite low. The hotel leaves a meaningful memorial for the guest, and presents a magnetic card with the hotel logo. It is both a souvenir for the guest and a hotel to promote the hotel. Sixth, the one-time consumption of magnetic cards has a sense of security for the guests. Because the magnetic cards were newly made at the time, there would be no feeling of getting them by the bad guys. Seventh, when a guest loses a card or a management of a certain level is poorly managed, it is easy to handle it accordingly. Eighth, other devices accept magnetic cards. Therefore, the hotel chose a magnetic card.
Card operation mode
At present, the intelligent hotel has put forward the demand for hotel cards. It refers to the combination of one card consumption, identity authentication and room electronic door locks in one or several buildings or in a hotel group. In addition to housing, a card-consuming service includes restaurants, cafes, bars, various entertainment facilities, shopping malls, and parking lots. Due to the increasing integration of hotel information systems, the concept of "one card" is not a combination of individual functions of several independent systems, but an integration. That is to say, in the integrated system, there must be a unified card issuance system in which all the guests' information is shared throughout the integrated system, and they work under the same protocol. Each system performs its own functions and jointly completes various service functions of the hotel to the guests. Since the operation of the hotel is based on the pursuit of efficiency, the choice of electronic card is carried out under the premise of providing the best quality service, maximizing the use of resources, reducing costs and facilitating management. In the selection of electronic door locks, Beijing Hotel has basically negotiated with the world's major door lock suppliers. From the perspective of integration, the hotel proposed to them to encrypt the guest's date, pre-reservation time, room number and logo. The way once, | the main write to the second track requirements, this is not done by manufacturers all over the world. At the same time, the information of the door lock magnetic card is required to be automatically written by the front desk computer, and can be read by the P0S machine to ensure multi-point card making during the night audit of the hotel. This ensures the integrity, reliability, security and consistency of the entire system.
When the magnetic card is not a card, you only need to make a new card after the loss. When the new card is drawn on the door lock, the old card is automatically invalidated. If it is a card, although the old card cannot enter the door, it may be used on the cash register of the restaurant. Therefore, door lock manufacturers, front-end system manufacturers, and cash register manufacturers must have a unified agreement. When the guest presents the magnetic card after dining at the restaurant, the information of the front desk should be exactly the same as the signature of the guest. At this time, the cashier can sign the order.
Magnetic card door lock application experience
In the practice of Beijing Hotel, we realized that the management of magnetic cards involves many departments of the hotel, and there must be corresponding rules and regulations in management. In the management of the guests, it is necessary to make a face-to-face card for individual customers. For the team guests to make a unified delivery to the guests in advance. At the front desk, you should do a good job of reporting the loss of the card and the damage card and the bellman card. The room department should reasonably allocate the use of segment card, floor card, group card, regional card, and large-area card, and reasonably allocate the corresponding magnetic card to the cleaner, the drinker, the night shifter, and the foreman. The security department produces various authorization cards, door closure cards and total control of all magnetic cards. All information retained by the door lock is extracted immediately after the accident and a comprehensive analysis is performed. The management of the engineering department is mainly for the daily maintenance of the door lock, replacing the battery within the specified time, cleaning the magnetic card to ensure the long-term stable operation of the door lock. System maintenance is an important part. In an integrated system, the problem of any one subsystem is ultimately reflected in the parent system and may cause failure of the entire system. Therefore, from the perspective of the system, there must be a corresponding test report procedure. This system is a transaction processing system, basically working at the low end, so daily maintenance is particularly important.
The development of electronic door locks depends on the advancement of the entire social technology. When new needs arise, it is necessary to adapt to its development. Therefore, if other types of high-tech cards (such as non-contact IC cards) cost down to the user's acceptable range, and the corresponding equipment is also developed synchronously, the application of hotel door locks may have a new leap.
