YKK AP announces 52.1 % of those who are attracted to "face authentication" as the key function of the entrance door at home.

In recent years, biometric authentication has been practical, and it is familiar to life, and face authentication and voice authentication can be authenticated in non -contact, so demand is demand due to changes in hygiene values.It is growing.

YKK AP Corporation has released a new smart door that adds a function to lock the key using the "face authentication key" on the front door "Smart Door" with an electric lock.

The smart door with a face authentication key function adopts a biometric authentication (3D authentication) technology that captures the face three -dimensionally by two built -in cameras in the outdoor unit, and locks fraudulent unlock by face dummy and photographs.Can be prevented.Authentication is possible at night with an infrared camera, and up to 20 faces can be registered.

In addition, since the facial authentication function and human sensor are integrated as the sensor unit, it operates in a short time until the application is locked.The height of the sensor unit to the door is set to 130cm, which enables authentication from adults to the height of the child.In conjunction with the launch of the new smart door, YKK AP conducted a "awareness survey of consumers on biometric authentication" to 1,099 men and women nationwide.

According to this survey, 84 people know biometric authentication..As a result of 3 %, those who answered "I know" and answered "I have used it" or "I still use it now" 53..It turned out that 4%of the biometric authentication was highly aware and familiar in life.Also, among those who answered "I have used" or "I am still using", 65 people who have used face authentication at least once..It turned out that there were more than half, 0 %.People who have used it in the past (21).2 %) may have experience in the airport screening, hotel and entertainment facilities for admission and admission systems.Also, those who are currently using (43).8 %) has confirmed that it has been used on a daily basis when locking smartphones and PCs and entering the office, and that face authentication is becoming more familiar in life.

Furthermore, as a locking function of the key to the entrance door at home, the percentage of those who answered "very attractive" or "attractive" when investigated consciousness other than the conventional key (manual lock) is fingerprint authentication.Biological authentication that does not use things, such as face authentication, was higher than the locking function of the key that uses things such as cards and remote controls.

Fingerprint authentication (57 (57) that has penetrated as biological authentication).Following 9%), face authentication is 52.It was found that more than half, 1 %, the second most, and more than half of them are attracted to the skills of collaborating on human faces as the key to the entrance door.

In addition, when we investigated the troubles of opening and closing the key of the entrance door (locking), "locking the key while holding large luggage" and "the key when the hands are buried by mail or baggage.There were a lot of sympathy, especially in the items that took time for locking.

If it is a face authentication, the key can be opened and closed when the hands are blocked by luggage or mail, and it takes time to search for the key in the bag or to search for a key hole in darkness such as night.It is thought that many people are attracted to the convenience.

As a locking function of the key to the entrance door, face authentication is "very attractive" or "attractive"..8%, "It's easy to find a key" 61.It was 5 %.Next, "It's easy because the key lock does not require detailed operation" 42..One % of sympathy has gathered, and it has been found that many people are fascinated by the high security of face authentication and the convenience of authentication without using things.

Someone who answered "not attractive" commented that "it is not possible to be authenticated as dark", "If you wear a mask, it will be authenticated" and "uneasy not to authenticate others".Overall, the result was a sense of expectation for new authentication technology.The face authentication key will be composed of barrier -free compensation with automatic opening and closing sliding doors, visitor management in home medical and nursing care (doctors, nurses, helpers, etc.), and in -house equipment by identifying at the entrance.Various expansion and use such as services (housing IoT) are expected.

We will cover various information about IoT and deliver it to everyone.
