First, the development process of campus card system
About the development process of college campus card system, we can roughly summarize and summarize three stages: single system - unified integration - expansion promotion (service orientation). Specifically:
The first phase is the application phase of a single system, that is, the application phase of the department-level function card: the system is independent in the school, and they are each fighting, with multiple cards coexisting and not interconnected;
The second stage is the application stage of unified integration, that is, the phase of campus card construction: In the practice of informationization, two common services of unified identity authentication and unified settlement are clearly summarized from each system, and campus card systems emerge. The campus card platform system includes two modules: identity identification and electronic payment. It provides support for "card-based certification" and "card-based tokens", and it includes formally a data center and an artificial service network that extends across campuses. The center and the card center) and self-service facilities (circumference machines, touch screens, websites, telephones, short messages, etc.) have become the links that run through the various systems of school information construction;
The third stage is the expansion of the application-oriented (service-oriented) application phase, that is, the overall in-depth application phase: the campus card system emphasizes the integration and sharing of resources for school personnel, finances, and materials, and pays more attention to holding cards with school administrators and terminals. The expression of human service value. With the acceleration of the construction of digital campuses and the strengthening of school service concepts, campus card applications have been extended to various fields of school teaching, scientific research, management and services. Users have put forward new ideas for the humanization, intelligentization and diversification of campus card systems. demand.
At this stage, it is in the third stage of campus card development. The campus card system has been continuously applied and developed. Under the joint exploration and promotion of colleges and card manufacturers, the technology is more mature, functions are more perfect, and the service is more human. Coupled with the rapid development of the information environment and the emergence of new technologies and new applications such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things and mobile payments, the campus card industry is facing new opportunities for development. A new generation of campus card systems is also being bred. What features and advancements are required for the new generation of campus cards? Let's take a look at the status quo and development trends of campus card systems.
Second, campus card system application status
The campus card system has an independent status in school management and is an integral part of the digital campus and basic engineering. Despite the great differences in the level of construction of various colleges and universities, all campus development is based on the campus card system. The system extends application capabilities, but its two core application functions are still identity and electronic payments. For example, identity recognition applications such as entry barriers at school gates, dormitories, and laboratories, library access, attendance, etc.; electronic payment applications in canteen dining, supermarket shopping, water and electricity charges, etc.; identity recognition and electronic payment integration applications are used to pay for new arrivals, School bus charges, medical fees, etc. Currently, the campus card system can achieve more than 30 major functions through integration and docking with various departments, departments, and development departments. It can be said to cover all aspects of school life and basically meet the needs of school management and service. .
Of course, campus card systems are still in the process of continuous improvement and development. With the deepening of the application of universities, many new demands are placed on campus card systems. Then, what are the most concerned about the construction and application of the campus card system at the current stage? According to the overall feedback from the survey results, the main aspects are: system and accounting security, open and sharing, operation and maintenance, and decision support. Wait.
Lin Qiang, director of the Informatization Office of Tongji University, believes that the campus card system uses tens of millions of dollars each year for campus card consumption and payment. Therefore, the campus card system should focus on improving the functions of consumption and payment to ensure the accuracy of consumption and payment. Effectiveness. In addition, the performance of the campus card system, the protection mechanism (monitoring mechanism, reported obstacles, equipment maintenance methods), and the system management constraint mechanism need to be improved.
Zheng Qi, deputy director of the Department of Finance and State-owned Assets Management at Sun Yat-sen University, said that he was most concerned about "operation and maintenance."
The campus card system has a large amount of application and management complexity. Guaranteeing service quality and improving system stability running time are important assessment indicators for campus card management departments.
Wang Jiang, director of the Card Center of Yangzhou University, believes that the most important thing is "system and accounting security." This is the basic guarantee for the normal operation of the system. Without security, the others cannot talk about it.
Third, the development trend of campus card system
The development trend of the campus card system can be analyzed from three perspectives. First, from the perspective of end users, ie teachers and students (cardholders), the campus card is required to be more intelligent and diversified, such as the diversification of payment carriers. , Such as mobile phone cards, CPU cards, online payment, etc., as well as the continuous enrichment of subsystem functions and self-service applications; Second, from the school management point of view, the campus card system is expected to facilitate the operation and maintenance, to meet the requirements of the school's convenient management; Third, from the point of view of the entire industry, the rise of campus cloud computing and the Internet of Things requires campus cards to interoperate with industry cards, and become more and more relevant to other systems inside and outside the campus.
From the three perspectives of end-users, managers, and the industry, apart from the consistent pursuit of security, stability, and efficiency, we have summarized the following five aspects of the campus card system application trends:
Trend 1: The status of the campus card remains unchanged, and the carrier exists in various forms. Key words: CPU card, mobile phone card
The existence of campus card carriers will be diversified. From the point of view of the chip, it can be a biometric card such as a photoelectric card, M1 card, CPU card, mobile phone card, and fingerprint; from the appearance, it can be a standard card or a special-shaped card; The system will be the management and service platform for these payment and certification carriers. The diversification of the carrier existence form can satisfy the service requirements of multiple application environments and embody the more humane and convenient service. Although the carrier exists in many forms, its essence is still the campus card system, or it embodies two core applications of campus card identification and electronic payment. The campus card system will not change the independent status of the campus card regardless of changes in the carrier's existence. .
At present, the development of CPU campus cards and mobile campus cards is fast, and the number of college users is increasing. According to the university's network environment, the status of platform services, and the requirements of each subsystem for the data services of the card itself, coupled with the offline application and the overall security of the system, the CPU card will occupy the mainstream for a period of time. The mobile campus card is a hot topic that colleges and universities pay more attention to, and here is a thorough discussion of the mobile campus card.
Mobile Campus Card: With the development of mobile payment technology, the “Campus Campus Card†has become an important addition to the campus card. In the past two years, mobile, telecom, and Unicom have accelerated their investment in colleges and universities, and cooperated with traditional campus card manufacturers to provide equipment and system integration services, and jointly promote the “campus campus card†in colleges and universities. From the second half of 2009 to the present, the "Mobile Campus Card" project of New China Newcomers and three major telecommunications operators has reached more than 200.
“Mobile Campus Card†is a combination of a mobile phone card and a campus card. It can use the campus card and the mobile phone card to separate two cards or combine two cards. In addition to the main functions of the traditional campus card, there are two highlight applications: short message platform and mobile phone ring. You can interactively query information such as class schedule, conference, book borrowing, consumption, and account balance through SMS, WAP, etc.; All kinds of information are designated to be issued, and notification and reminding functions are provided; and air circulation can be achieved through SMS, UTK menus, etc.
Take Yangzhou University's mobile campus card as an example, its support for dual-mode frequency and master-deputy card mode is worth learning from.
Case 1 Yangzhou University: Supporting dual mode frequency, main and auxiliary card mode mobile campus card system Yangzhou University Card Center Director Wang Jiang: Yangzhou University Mobile Campus Card is a combination of RF-SIM 2.4G card technology and the traditional campus card system. SIMPASS13.56M card technology is developed, mobile users do not need to replace the phone.
This system is composed of a mobile phone card management platform, a campus mobile front-end system, a key identity system, various sub-application management systems, and various types of POS machines, etc. The integrated business front-end machines and mobile central card services are installed in the campus network. The management platform implements bidirectional data exchange. With the traditional campus card in the key system, hardware system, integrated business systems and accounting systems to achieve innovation and integration, the addition of a two-card balance of accounts, Kaka transfer and other functions.
The campus card and mobile phone card of Yangzhou University form the "dual card scheme" of the main and auxiliary card mode, and the mobile phone card and the campus card coexist, the campus card is the main card, and the mobile phone card is the deputy card. Open the data and network of the existing campus card platform, and the new function platform will seamlessly connect to realize information exchange. In the promotion process, the principle of voluntariness for students is applied. Students who choose to use the mobile phone card do not need to change their mobile phones. At present, the school has issued more than 600 cards and has not yet been applied on a large scale. Mainly used for cafeteria dining, other applications such as open water, library access, access control attendance, book borrowing and other functions will gradually improve and apply. The mobile phone card enters the campus and can be used in canteen consumption, access control, and attendance, but it appears to be "unsatisfactory" in applications such as bathing and certificates, indicating that the campus card cannot be replaced after the mobile phone card is used.
Trend 2: The evolution and extension of financial payment methods Key words: no card payment, campus e-commerce
Case No. 2 Southeast University: One-card electronic payment platform No card payment for Internet access and purchase of telecommunication network card Gao Jin, director of the Card Management Center of Southeast University: Before 2008, the card “financial transaction†of Southeast University was established on the basis of cardholders' card swiping. In 2008, Southeast University took the lead in using the One Card electronic payment platform to achieve online "no card payment." Teachers and students no longer need campus cards or cash to go to the network center and finance office to purchase paper online recharge cards. Just log in to the campus network and enter a card number and password to pay for campus network charges and purchase telecommunications services from the e-wallet. Internet card. Break through the card only card transactions, must have a card reader or POS machine, and only on the card network or through the campus network and the card network to run under the docking of the transaction mode restrictions.
Case 3 Northwestern Polytechnical University: On-line Payment and Information Inquiry Zhou Qin, Head of Campus Card Management Section, Finance Department, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China: Although Cards replaced various cards and realized application integration, actual operations still rely heavily on manual methods. The model is plagued by many factors such as time, place and staff. Based on this consideration, Northwestern Polytechnical University proposed the idea of ​​designing a multimedia self-service business system that integrates the business portals of various departments based on a single-card platform. The multimedia self-service business system is based on the B/S architecture and uses JSP technology to control the generation of Web pages. The cardholder initiates various business requests to the campus card platform through a Web page, and uses JDBC technology to exchange data with the back-end database. The carder returns interactive information to complete the processing of various services. The current functions are:
Deposit transfer: The bank card transfer function to the campus card to realize self-service transfer.
Acting fees: Agents pay electricity fees, and can gradually design and implement network fees, college English test scores, class selection fees, and phone recharges.
Information inquiry: One-card consumption details inquiry, campus card and bank card balance inquiry, agent payment information inquiry, all kinds of publishing information inquiry and so on.
In fact, some schools have expanded horizontally on the application of no-card payment to form the concept of an electronic service platform. By seamlessly connecting with the campus card system, users can choose to complete the required operations through the online service platform or the line card according to their own situation and usage habits. The service platform can basically cover all service projects on the campus with the card system.
Its design goal is through a variety of business management, a variety of access methods, open common interfaces, data sharing and exchange, a variety of service support and service resources integration and other solutions, the ultimate image to the end user is "Personal application service integration portal "The realization of human-computer interaction intelligence and humanity. At present, Zhejiang University’s e-service platform has achieved system services such as electronic malls, on-line school bus inquiries, information services, travel services, self-service, automotive services, charity services, and scheduled return train tickets. The electronic service platform of Beijing Normal University mainly realizes the function of online collection fee.
Trend 3: Continuous expansion and integration of functions and systems Key words: Self-service, industry card docking, integration, openness
Due to the continuous improvement of the campus card's own functions and the increasingly close integration or integration of campus cards with other campus systems, in order to avoid duplication of investment and waste of resources, the school needs to integrate resources on the basis of existing campus card platforms. On the one hand, the existing functions of the campus card system make it possible to realize human-computer interaction intelligence and service humanization; on the other hand, it expands new functions, accesses other systems, and connects with other industry cards. Tongji University, Sun Yat-Sen University, and Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College have more mature experiences in system extension and integration.
Case 4 Campus Card System of Tongji University: Popularization and Popularization of Self-help Applications Lin Qiang, Director, Informatization Office, Tongji University: The Tongji University Campus Card System was launched in April 2005. It was upgraded in 2008 and a campus mobile phone card was created in 2010. In addition to serving students and teachers in the school, the current system also provides services to those who come to school for further study or study, school-run industry employees, employees of neighboring cooperatives, and citizens around the school. The number of users has reached more than 140,000 (excluding Graduated students).
The main functions that have been implemented in the campus card system include:
Consumers: canteen charges, supermarket charges, bath consumption, water consumption (including water heaters in each dormitory), personal commitment to medical expenses, self-service purchase (dormitory) consumption, self-service copy consumption, self-service laundry consumption, class 46 Registration fees, printing of transcript fees, on-board spending, self-reserve transfer, etc.
Non-consumer categories: dormitory access control, office access control, laboratory access control, library access control, book borrowing, public medical management, machine management, swimming pool management, gym management, physical education management, and multimedia classroom equipment.
Miscellaneous: Mobile phone card (function covers all other functions except bathroom bathing and boiling water consumption).
The school vigorously promoted the application of card as a carrier, and selectively and gradually connected the applications related to consumption and identity authentication with the campus card system, achieving the goal of “one card at a time, walking around campusâ€. At the same time, in order to facilitate teachers and students, the school has actively explored pilot projects in the area of ​​self-service, and has introduced various convenience measures such as self-service electricity purchasing, electronic self-service mobile phone recharging, self-service photocopying and self-service laundry. Among them, the self-service power purchase mode has changed the traditional thinking of electronic control system manufacturers and innovated the application model; the school has introduced investment operation mode in the application of self-service laundry, which not only saves the construction investment of the school, but also improves the quality of the laundry service. Students’ complaints about the failure of washing machines have been significantly reduced compared to the past.
Case No. 5 Campus Card System of Zhongshan University: Charging Platform, Electronic Control and Large-scale Consumption, Campus Card Cross-campus Application and Connection with Social Applications Zheng Qi, Deputy Director of Finance and State-owned Assets Management Department, Sun Yat-sen University: The Most Bright Application at Sun Yat-sen University It is a toll platform and electronic control. Platforms that have not yet been developed will be built in the future to become a fee-generating application platform that supports various payment methods such as cash, withholding, campus cards and online banking payment, and a new generation of fees for providing application platforms and development interfaces for secondary school departments of schools. Management system.
Electronic control fully implements the advantages brought about by the standardization and openness of card applications. The school fully grasps the key of the system and can be compatible with various cards and electricity meters, reducing the cost of system construction. At the same time, beginning in 2010, the bankcard bound up by the campus card at Sun Yat-sen University integrates student fees and other large fees and campus card services, gradually forming a virtual fee-charging center, and changing the original concept that the campus card system mainly solves The problem of small-sum consumption saved the issue of redundant human resources and posts in the finance department and increased the level of fee-based services.
The campus card system of Sun Yat-sen University is the first inter-city campus card that spans two cities in China, and has joined the "University of Guangzhou City Card" system, and has implemented "Consumer Card" with nine other universities. It also communicates with Guangzhou City. The system was docked and the city traffic function was opened. In the current network environment, there is no technical difficulty in realizing the card on the intercity campus. The main problem is that the management costs for operation and maintenance increase. Because the campus card construction of Sun Yat-sen University was earlier than the construction of the "University Card System" in Guangzhou University City, although it "joined" the university city card system, it actually belongs to a "one-card multi-use" application, and "matching" is also true for Yangchengtong. There are no technical difficulties. The difficulty at the application level is to publicize the instructions, so that the cardholder understands how a card is used in multiple systems. The other is how to be compatible with the continued use of the original M1 card when upgrading the CPU card, and the replacement and upgrade of the M1 card equipment. In the process, maintain the order of consumption.
Case 6: Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College: Industry-leading financial grade campus card application Deputy Director of Education Technology and Information Center of Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College Zibo: Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College campus card system has certain advancement in integration and opening up.
(1) System Integration Digital Campus Integration: Integrate with the school's digital campus system to achieve a unified portal, single sign-on, and identity authentication.
Charge system integration: Integrate with the school's financial charging system, and handle the charging data service through the single card platform; docking with Ping An Bank's internal charging platform to realize the deduction of tuition fees, accommodation fees, and teaching materials fees, etc. Counter payment, inquiries and reconciliation. The implementation of this system relieves the pressure of manual charges at the school finance department and ensures the consistency of the bank charging platform data and the school financial charging system data.
(2) Open system card is open. The CPU card is planned using the directory control method. During card planning, sufficient space is reserved for new application system planning card application files, and a small wallet within the one-card application system is reserved for use by third-party systems.
The bank card and the CPU card are combined to form a campus card with a wider range of use. The campus card not only has the functions of a traditional campus card, but also can be used in various application sites in the school. It also has the function of a bank card. It can be used for any consumer's ATM with a UnionPay certification or a bank card on a POS card for consumption. The tight integration of social cards.
The equipment is open. Can be connected to third-party special equipment: card readers, POS machines. The platform does not require major changes when accessing third-party devices. The device can normally access the campus card system by following relevant standards and reading the system key.
Access is open. The use of campus card platform system third-party agent software to adapt to different management modes, compatible with existing management information systems to facilitate access. Provides standard interfaces for third-party software and related documentation for schools to automate the docking of third-party subsystems or secondary development of products.
Wireless consumption. The location of many mobile consumption booths in the school is not fixed, such as breakfast, tea, drinks, snacks, etc., and it is basically conducted in open space.
Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College has established multiple wireless gateways in the school to cover the range of mobile sites for mobile consumption booths, and to ensure that wireless POSs used in mobile consumption booths can effectively connect wireless gateways within the coverage area and realize online real-time consumption.
Trend 4: Operation System Construction or Operation Service Outsourcing Keywords: Operation Maintenance, Service Outsourcing
With the popularization of campus card applications, the number of cardholders has continuously increased, application systems have been continuously expanded, and storage data has been continuously accumulating. The difficulty in operation, maintenance, and management of campus card systems has increased, and more and more schools have begun to increase investment in operation and maintenance. With some efforts, some institutions have added new operating systems or selected outsourcing services. For example, one of the upgrade goals of Sun Yat-sen University's new-generation campus card is to build an operation system: to develop equipment and consumables management and maintenance systems; to develop monitoring systems; to achieve unified login; to integrate external card service systems; to build test systems, and to implement the system before going online. testing on the spot. At the same time, Sun Yat-sen University and Hefei University of Technology conducted an attempt to outsource the operation of service, and the new card company, New Zhongxin Company, provided specialized operation and maintenance services.
At present, in order to facilitate the operation, maintenance and management of campus card systems, some institutions have added monitoring systems and equipment management systems. The main functions are as follows:
One card monitoring system: One card monitoring system implemented using web applications can be managed centrally, that is, unified management of hardware and software, unified monitoring, and unified alarm. To achieve maximum controllability, all relevant applications, hardware terminals and POS of the school can be monitored through the World Wide Web, and alarms and manual alarms can be automatically triggered.
Equipment management system: The system records the use of each equipment, maintenance, reasonable use and tracking equipment, and at the same time to facilitate the coordination between merchants and equipment managers. The main functions include outbound storage management, equipment maintenance management, user department management, and statistical information reporting. Its characteristic is that the equipment after-sales service management system is easy to use, and the one-stop general-purpose integration method is easy for administrators to use and a powerful back-end system makes management content easy to implement.
With the increasingly detailed and development of specialized division of labor, the demand for outsourced service outsourcing for campus card systems will increase. This is a good opportunity for card manufacturers to transition to services. The higher the maturity of the market, the higher the demand for services, and the value of services will be more and more accepted and recognized by users.
Trend 5: Data Mining Provides Decision Support for Schools Keywords: Management Decision Support
The data mining of the existing integration and operational data of the campus card system can reveal a lot of hidden knowledge hidden in the noisy data appearance, and these knowledge have a high reference for system management and decision-making activities such as system optimization and resource allocation. value. It can be said that data mining has broken the position of the traditional campus card system to provide common applications such as identity authentication and consumption, and has elevated it to the status of a basic data information provider that plays an important role in the management decisions of the entire school.
Case 7 Shandong University: Design and Implementation of the Student Difficulties Aided Assessor System Li Yongchao, Director, Network and Information Center, Shandong University: Through the data mining of campus cards, students' consumption habits and consumption levels can be analyzed to determine the national difficulties. Subsidy objects, subsidies, and the ability to scientifically equip staff based on consumption flow and the amount of food they eat, and control the income of the cafeteria. At the same time, various application subsystems that access the campus card system will generate various types of consumption flow. The school can conduct statistical analysis on cardholders and merchants according to certain requirements and conduct comprehensive deep-level management and control mechanisms. For example, applications such as index ranking are launched based on the index of interest in places such as canteens or libraries.
Shandong University did some preliminary research on the data mining of campus card systems.
At present, the school is mainly used for supporting the identification of poor students, through the analysis of the level of student consumption for the school's relevant decision-making to provide a certain amount of data support, in addition to the special window personnel flow analysis and comprehensive economic benefit analysis.
Shandong University’s student difficulty identification assistant assessment system has several features:
(1) The system uses software programming means to achieve the purpose of using the processed daily consumption data of students as a reference for assessment of economic difficulties in colleges and universities. It can also be used as a review tool for identifying difficult students, assisting in judging students’ difficult situations and supervising them. A student's daily campus consumption;
(2) Powerful query and statistics. The web part of the system can provide school administrators with semester consumption inquiries, monthly consumer inquiries, and monthly consumer total inquiries, as well as chart displays;
(3) The report is powerful. The seamless connection between the system and Office is realized, and the Word and Excel data export and report printing functions can be easily implemented, and the decision makers can be provided with convenient services.
(4) Background data integration is completed with a single key, and the operation is simple;
(5) Using Visual Basic, ASP technology, etc., with a short development cycle, easy maintenance, and good scalability, can be further improved;
(6) Adopt B/S structure, no need to install client software, easy and fast operation;
(7) All programs are installed on the server side, easy to maintain and expand;
(8) Access to the Web requires low user hardware configuration and reduces hardware investment costs.
The campus card subsystem developed by Xinzhongxin Company has a data mining function. Through backing up water consumption such as card consumption and access control, and effectively extracting and analyzing data on the basis of this data, statistics on the business conditions of canteens and merchants, and analyzing consumption conditions in different categories, locations, and times, providing decision-making for users. Data basis.
At present, data analysis and mining are still in the initial stages of exploration. The scope of application of decision support systems is still limited, and the depth of data needs to be improved.
Fourth, the conclusion
Establish a digital campus model based on one-card authentication, and extend the attributes of campus cards to all departments of the school from the data stream. Campus card system is playing an increasingly important role in the construction of campus information because of its support and services for the key businesses in the university.
With the development of education, the requirements for informationization are getting higher and higher; the innovation of technology has revolutionized the teaching and research, management, and service of the campus. The new-generation campus card system should be at least humanized, diversified, and intelligent, reflecting integration, service, and innovation. With the development of information technology such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things, what changes will happen in the campus card system in the future? This is a new topic that has been thrown away to university users and card manufacturers, and has also brought about greater imagination for the application and expansion of campus card systems. And development space.
Qu Qiuli, Deputy Director of the Computer and Information Management Center of Tsinghua University, Liu Jingyi, Director of the Campus Card Management Center of the Network and Education Technology Center of the Renmin University of China, Yang Jun, Director of the Campus Card Management Office of the Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics, Chen Qiuyue, Director of the Network Center of the Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication, and Chongqing Card Management Center Director Xu Zhaojun, Liang Guanghan, Director of the Information Technology Service Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Zhao Liren, Director of the R&D Products Division of New China-China Newcomers, also participated in the panel discussion.
About the development process of college campus card system, we can roughly summarize and summarize three stages: single system - unified integration - expansion promotion (service orientation). Specifically:

At this stage, it is in the third stage of campus card development. The campus card system has been continuously applied and developed. Under the joint exploration and promotion of colleges and card manufacturers, the technology is more mature, functions are more perfect, and the service is more human. Coupled with the rapid development of the information environment and the emergence of new technologies and new applications such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things and mobile payments, the campus card industry is facing new opportunities for development. A new generation of campus card systems is also being bred. What features and advancements are required for the new generation of campus cards? Let's take a look at the status quo and development trends of campus card systems.
Second, campus card system application status
The campus card system has an independent status in school management and is an integral part of the digital campus and basic engineering. Despite the great differences in the level of construction of various colleges and universities, all campus development is based on the campus card system. The system extends application capabilities, but its two core application functions are still identity and electronic payments.

It can be said to cover all aspects of school life and basically meet the needs of school management and service. .
Of course, campus card systems are still in the process of continuous improvement and development. With the deepening of the application of universities, many new demands are placed on campus card systems. Then, what are the most concerned about the construction and application of the campus card system at the current stage? According to the overall feedback from the survey results, the main aspects are: system and accounting security, open and sharing, operation and maintenance, and decision support. Wait.

Wang Jiang, director of the Card Center of Yangzhou University, believes that the most important thing is "system and accounting security." This is the basic guarantee for the normal operation of the system. Without security, the others cannot talk about it.
Third, the development trend of campus card system
The development trend of the campus card system can be analyzed from three perspectives.

From the three perspectives of end-users, managers, and the industry, apart from the consistent pursuit of security, stability, and efficiency, we have summarized the following five aspects of the campus card system application trends:
Trend 1: The status of the campus card remains unchanged, and the carrier exists in various forms. Key words: CPU card, mobile phone card
The existence of campus card carriers will be diversified. From the point of view of the chip, it can be a biometric card such as a photoelectric card, M1 card, CPU card, mobile phone card, and fingerprint; from the appearance, it can be a standard card or a special-shaped card; The system will be the management and service platform for these payment and certification carriers. The diversification of the carrier existence form can satisfy the service requirements of multiple application environments and embody the more humane and convenient service. Although the carrier exists in many forms, its essence is still the campus card system, or it embodies two core applications of campus card identification and electronic payment. The campus card system will not change the independent status of the campus card regardless of changes in the carrier's existence. .
At present, the development of CPU campus cards and mobile campus cards is fast, and the number of college users is increasing. According to the university's network environment, the status of platform services, and the requirements of each subsystem for the data services of the card itself, coupled with the offline application and the overall security of the system, the CPU card will occupy the mainstream for a period of time. The mobile campus card is a hot topic that colleges and universities pay more attention to, and here is a thorough discussion of the mobile campus card.
Mobile Campus Card: With the development of mobile payment technology, the “Campus Campus Card†has become an important addition to the campus card. In the past two years, mobile, telecom, and Unicom have accelerated their investment in colleges and universities, and cooperated with traditional campus card manufacturers to provide equipment and system integration services, and jointly promote the “campus campus card†in colleges and universities. From the second half of 2009 to the present, the "Mobile Campus Card" project of New China Newcomers and three major telecommunications operators has reached more than 200.
“Mobile Campus Card†is a combination of a mobile phone card and a campus card. It can use the campus card and the mobile phone card to separate two cards or combine two cards. In addition to the main functions of the traditional campus card, there are two highlight applications: short message platform and mobile phone ring. You can interactively query information such as class schedule, conference, book borrowing, consumption, and account balance through SMS, WAP, etc.; All kinds of information are designated to be issued, and notification and reminding functions are provided; and air circulation can be achieved through SMS, UTK menus, etc.
Take Yangzhou University's mobile campus card as an example, its support for dual-mode frequency and master-deputy card mode is worth learning from.
Case 1 Yangzhou University: Supporting dual mode frequency, main and auxiliary card mode mobile campus card system Yangzhou University Card Center Director Wang Jiang: Yangzhou University Mobile Campus Card is a combination of RF-SIM 2.4G card technology and the traditional campus card system. SIMPASS13.56M card technology is developed, mobile users do not need to replace the phone.
This system is composed of a mobile phone card management platform, a campus mobile front-end system, a key identity system, various sub-application management systems, and various types of POS machines, etc. The integrated business front-end machines and mobile central card services are installed in the campus network. The management platform implements bidirectional data exchange. With the traditional campus card in the key system, hardware system, integrated business systems and accounting systems to achieve innovation and integration, the addition of a two-card balance of accounts, Kaka transfer and other functions.
The campus card and mobile phone card of Yangzhou University form the "dual card scheme" of the main and auxiliary card mode, and the mobile phone card and the campus card coexist, the campus card is the main card, and the mobile phone card is the deputy card. Open the data and network of the existing campus card platform, and the new function platform will seamlessly connect to realize information exchange. In the promotion process, the principle of voluntariness for students is applied. Students who choose to use the mobile phone card do not need to change their mobile phones. At present, the school has issued more than 600 cards and has not yet been applied on a large scale. Mainly used for cafeteria dining, other applications such as open water, library access, access control attendance, book borrowing and other functions will gradually improve and apply. The mobile phone card enters the campus and can be used in canteen consumption, access control, and attendance, but it appears to be "unsatisfactory" in applications such as bathing and certificates, indicating that the campus card cannot be replaced after the mobile phone card is used.
Trend 2: The evolution and extension of financial payment methods Key words: no card payment, campus e-commerce
Case No. 2 Southeast University: One-card electronic payment platform No card payment for Internet access and purchase of telecommunication network card Gao Jin, director of the Card Management Center of Southeast University: Before 2008, the card “financial transaction†of Southeast University was established on the basis of cardholders' card swiping. In 2008, Southeast University took the lead in using the One Card electronic payment platform to achieve online "no card payment." Teachers and students no longer need campus cards or cash to go to the network center and finance office to purchase paper online recharge cards. Just log in to the campus network and enter a card number and password to pay for campus network charges and purchase telecommunications services from the e-wallet. Internet card. Break through the card only card transactions, must have a card reader or POS machine, and only on the card network or through the campus network and the card network to run under the docking of the transaction mode restrictions.
Case 3 Northwestern Polytechnical University: On-line Payment and Information Inquiry Zhou Qin, Head of Campus Card Management Section, Finance Department, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China: Although Cards replaced various cards and realized application integration, actual operations still rely heavily on manual methods. The model is plagued by many factors such as time, place and staff. Based on this consideration, Northwestern Polytechnical University proposed the idea of ​​designing a multimedia self-service business system that integrates the business portals of various departments based on a single-card platform. The multimedia self-service business system is based on the B/S architecture and uses JSP technology to control the generation of Web pages. The cardholder initiates various business requests to the campus card platform through a Web page, and uses JDBC technology to exchange data with the back-end database. The carder returns interactive information to complete the processing of various services. The current functions are:
Deposit transfer: The bank card transfer function to the campus card to realize self-service transfer.
Acting fees: Agents pay electricity fees, and can gradually design and implement network fees, college English test scores, class selection fees, and phone recharges.
Information inquiry: One-card consumption details inquiry, campus card and bank card balance inquiry, agent payment information inquiry, all kinds of publishing information inquiry and so on.
In fact, some schools have expanded horizontally on the application of no-card payment to form the concept of an electronic service platform. By seamlessly connecting with the campus card system, users can choose to complete the required operations through the online service platform or the line card according to their own situation and usage habits. The service platform can basically cover all service projects on the campus with the card system.
Its design goal is through a variety of business management, a variety of access methods, open common interfaces, data sharing and exchange, a variety of service support and service resources integration and other solutions, the ultimate image to the end user is "Personal application service integration portal "The realization of human-computer interaction intelligence and humanity. At present, Zhejiang University’s e-service platform has achieved system services such as electronic malls, on-line school bus inquiries, information services, travel services, self-service, automotive services, charity services, and scheduled return train tickets. The electronic service platform of Beijing Normal University mainly realizes the function of online collection fee.
Trend 3: Continuous expansion and integration of functions and systems Key words: Self-service, industry card docking, integration, openness
Due to the continuous improvement of the campus card's own functions and the increasingly close integration or integration of campus cards with other campus systems, in order to avoid duplication of investment and waste of resources, the school needs to integrate resources on the basis of existing campus card platforms. On the one hand, the existing functions of the campus card system make it possible to realize human-computer interaction intelligence and service humanization; on the other hand, it expands new functions, accesses other systems, and connects with other industry cards. Tongji University, Sun Yat-Sen University, and Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College have more mature experiences in system extension and integration.
Case 4 Campus Card System of Tongji University: Popularization and Popularization of Self-help Applications Lin Qiang, Director, Informatization Office, Tongji University: The Tongji University Campus Card System was launched in April 2005. It was upgraded in 2008 and a campus mobile phone card was created in 2010. In addition to serving students and teachers in the school, the current system also provides services to those who come to school for further study or study, school-run industry employees, employees of neighboring cooperatives, and citizens around the school. The number of users has reached more than 140,000 (excluding Graduated students).
The main functions that have been implemented in the campus card system include:
Consumers: canteen charges, supermarket charges, bath consumption, water consumption (including water heaters in each dormitory), personal commitment to medical expenses, self-service purchase (dormitory) consumption, self-service copy consumption, self-service laundry consumption, class 46 Registration fees, printing of transcript fees, on-board spending, self-reserve transfer, etc.
Non-consumer categories: dormitory access control, office access control, laboratory access control, library access control, book borrowing, public medical management, machine management, swimming pool management, gym management, physical education management, and multimedia classroom equipment.
Miscellaneous: Mobile phone card (function covers all other functions except bathroom bathing and boiling water consumption).
The school vigorously promoted the application of card as a carrier, and selectively and gradually connected the applications related to consumption and identity authentication with the campus card system, achieving the goal of “one card at a time, walking around campusâ€. At the same time, in order to facilitate teachers and students, the school has actively explored pilot projects in the area of ​​self-service, and has introduced various convenience measures such as self-service electricity purchasing, electronic self-service mobile phone recharging, self-service photocopying and self-service laundry. Among them, the self-service power purchase mode has changed the traditional thinking of electronic control system manufacturers and innovated the application model; the school has introduced investment operation mode in the application of self-service laundry, which not only saves the construction investment of the school, but also improves the quality of the laundry service. Students’ complaints about the failure of washing machines have been significantly reduced compared to the past.
Case No. 5 Campus Card System of Zhongshan University: Charging Platform, Electronic Control and Large-scale Consumption, Campus Card Cross-campus Application and Connection with Social Applications Zheng Qi, Deputy Director of Finance and State-owned Assets Management Department, Sun Yat-sen University: The Most Bright Application at Sun Yat-sen University It is a toll platform and electronic control. Platforms that have not yet been developed will be built in the future to become a fee-generating application platform that supports various payment methods such as cash, withholding, campus cards and online banking payment, and a new generation of fees for providing application platforms and development interfaces for secondary school departments of schools. Management system.
Electronic control fully implements the advantages brought about by the standardization and openness of card applications. The school fully grasps the key of the system and can be compatible with various cards and electricity meters, reducing the cost of system construction. At the same time, beginning in 2010, the bankcard bound up by the campus card at Sun Yat-sen University integrates student fees and other large fees and campus card services, gradually forming a virtual fee-charging center, and changing the original concept that the campus card system mainly solves The problem of small-sum consumption saved the issue of redundant human resources and posts in the finance department and increased the level of fee-based services.
The campus card system of Sun Yat-sen University is the first inter-city campus card that spans two cities in China, and has joined the "University of Guangzhou City Card" system, and has implemented "Consumer Card" with nine other universities. It also communicates with Guangzhou City. The system was docked and the city traffic function was opened. In the current network environment, there is no technical difficulty in realizing the card on the intercity campus. The main problem is that the management costs for operation and maintenance increase. Because the campus card construction of Sun Yat-sen University was earlier than the construction of the "University Card System" in Guangzhou University City, although it "joined" the university city card system, it actually belongs to a "one-card multi-use" application, and "matching" is also true for Yangchengtong. There are no technical difficulties. The difficulty at the application level is to publicize the instructions, so that the cardholder understands how a card is used in multiple systems. The other is how to be compatible with the continued use of the original M1 card when upgrading the CPU card, and the replacement and upgrade of the M1 card equipment. In the process, maintain the order of consumption.
Case 6: Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College: Industry-leading financial grade campus card application Deputy Director of Education Technology and Information Center of Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College Zibo: Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College campus card system has certain advancement in integration and opening up.
(1) System Integration Digital Campus Integration: Integrate with the school's digital campus system to achieve a unified portal, single sign-on, and identity authentication.
Charge system integration: Integrate with the school's financial charging system, and handle the charging data service through the single card platform; docking with Ping An Bank's internal charging platform to realize the deduction of tuition fees, accommodation fees, and teaching materials fees, etc. Counter payment, inquiries and reconciliation. The implementation of this system relieves the pressure of manual charges at the school finance department and ensures the consistency of the bank charging platform data and the school financial charging system data.
(2) Open system card is open. The CPU card is planned using the directory control method. During card planning, sufficient space is reserved for new application system planning card application files, and a small wallet within the one-card application system is reserved for use by third-party systems.
The bank card and the CPU card are combined to form a campus card with a wider range of use. The campus card not only has the functions of a traditional campus card, but also can be used in various application sites in the school. It also has the function of a bank card. It can be used for any consumer's ATM with a UnionPay certification or a bank card on a POS card for consumption. The tight integration of social cards.
The equipment is open. Can be connected to third-party special equipment: card readers, POS machines. The platform does not require major changes when accessing third-party devices. The device can normally access the campus card system by following relevant standards and reading the system key.
Access is open. The use of campus card platform system third-party agent software to adapt to different management modes, compatible with existing management information systems to facilitate access. Provides standard interfaces for third-party software and related documentation for schools to automate the docking of third-party subsystems or secondary development of products.
Wireless consumption. The location of many mobile consumption booths in the school is not fixed, such as breakfast, tea, drinks, snacks, etc., and it is basically conducted in open space.
Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College has established multiple wireless gateways in the school to cover the range of mobile sites for mobile consumption booths, and to ensure that wireless POSs used in mobile consumption booths can effectively connect wireless gateways within the coverage area and realize online real-time consumption.
Trend 4: Operation System Construction or Operation Service Outsourcing Keywords: Operation Maintenance, Service Outsourcing
With the popularization of campus card applications, the number of cardholders has continuously increased, application systems have been continuously expanded, and storage data has been continuously accumulating. The difficulty in operation, maintenance, and management of campus card systems has increased, and more and more schools have begun to increase investment in operation and maintenance. With some efforts, some institutions have added new operating systems or selected outsourcing services. For example, one of the upgrade goals of Sun Yat-sen University's new-generation campus card is to build an operation system: to develop equipment and consumables management and maintenance systems; to develop monitoring systems; to achieve unified login; to integrate external card service systems; to build test systems, and to implement the system before going online. testing on the spot. At the same time, Sun Yat-sen University and Hefei University of Technology conducted an attempt to outsource the operation of service, and the new card company, New Zhongxin Company, provided specialized operation and maintenance services.
At present, in order to facilitate the operation, maintenance and management of campus card systems, some institutions have added monitoring systems and equipment management systems. The main functions are as follows:
One card monitoring system: One card monitoring system implemented using web applications can be managed centrally, that is, unified management of hardware and software, unified monitoring, and unified alarm. To achieve maximum controllability, all relevant applications, hardware terminals and POS of the school can be monitored through the World Wide Web, and alarms and manual alarms can be automatically triggered.
Equipment management system: The system records the use of each equipment, maintenance, reasonable use and tracking equipment, and at the same time to facilitate the coordination between merchants and equipment managers. The main functions include outbound storage management, equipment maintenance management, user department management, and statistical information reporting. Its characteristic is that the equipment after-sales service management system is easy to use, and the one-stop general-purpose integration method is easy for administrators to use and a powerful back-end system makes management content easy to implement.
With the increasingly detailed and development of specialized division of labor, the demand for outsourced service outsourcing for campus card systems will increase. This is a good opportunity for card manufacturers to transition to services. The higher the maturity of the market, the higher the demand for services, and the value of services will be more and more accepted and recognized by users.
Trend 5: Data Mining Provides Decision Support for Schools Keywords: Management Decision Support
The data mining of the existing integration and operational data of the campus card system can reveal a lot of hidden knowledge hidden in the noisy data appearance, and these knowledge have a high reference for system management and decision-making activities such as system optimization and resource allocation. value. It can be said that data mining has broken the position of the traditional campus card system to provide common applications such as identity authentication and consumption, and has elevated it to the status of a basic data information provider that plays an important role in the management decisions of the entire school.
Case 7 Shandong University: Design and Implementation of the Student Difficulties Aided Assessor System Li Yongchao, Director, Network and Information Center, Shandong University: Through the data mining of campus cards, students' consumption habits and consumption levels can be analyzed to determine the national difficulties. Subsidy objects, subsidies, and the ability to scientifically equip staff based on consumption flow and the amount of food they eat, and control the income of the cafeteria. At the same time, various application subsystems that access the campus card system will generate various types of consumption flow. The school can conduct statistical analysis on cardholders and merchants according to certain requirements and conduct comprehensive deep-level management and control mechanisms. For example, applications such as index ranking are launched based on the index of interest in places such as canteens or libraries.
Shandong University did some preliminary research on the data mining of campus card systems.
At present, the school is mainly used for supporting the identification of poor students, through the analysis of the level of student consumption for the school's relevant decision-making to provide a certain amount of data support, in addition to the special window personnel flow analysis and comprehensive economic benefit analysis.
Shandong University’s student difficulty identification assistant assessment system has several features:
(1) The system uses software programming means to achieve the purpose of using the processed daily consumption data of students as a reference for assessment of economic difficulties in colleges and universities. It can also be used as a review tool for identifying difficult students, assisting in judging students’ difficult situations and supervising them. A student's daily campus consumption;
(2) Powerful query and statistics. The web part of the system can provide school administrators with semester consumption inquiries, monthly consumer inquiries, and monthly consumer total inquiries, as well as chart displays;
(3) The report is powerful. The seamless connection between the system and Office is realized, and the Word and Excel data export and report printing functions can be easily implemented, and the decision makers can be provided with convenient services.
(4) Background data integration is completed with a single key, and the operation is simple;
(5) Using Visual Basic, ASP technology, etc., with a short development cycle, easy maintenance, and good scalability, can be further improved;
(6) Adopt B/S structure, no need to install client software, easy and fast operation;
(7) All programs are installed on the server side, easy to maintain and expand;
(8) Access to the Web requires low user hardware configuration and reduces hardware investment costs.
The campus card subsystem developed by Xinzhongxin Company has a data mining function. Through backing up water consumption such as card consumption and access control, and effectively extracting and analyzing data on the basis of this data, statistics on the business conditions of canteens and merchants, and analyzing consumption conditions in different categories, locations, and times, providing decision-making for users. Data basis.
At present, data analysis and mining are still in the initial stages of exploration. The scope of application of decision support systems is still limited, and the depth of data needs to be improved.
Fourth, the conclusion
Establish a digital campus model based on one-card authentication, and extend the attributes of campus cards to all departments of the school from the data stream. Campus card system is playing an increasingly important role in the construction of campus information because of its support and services for the key businesses in the university.
With the development of education, the requirements for informationization are getting higher and higher; the innovation of technology has revolutionized the teaching and research, management, and service of the campus. The new-generation campus card system should be at least humanized, diversified, and intelligent, reflecting integration, service, and innovation. With the development of information technology such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things, what changes will happen in the campus card system in the future? This is a new topic that has been thrown away to university users and card manufacturers, and has also brought about greater imagination for the application and expansion of campus card systems. And development space.
