Abstract

The disclosure relates to smart security inspection systems and methods. One illustrative method may comprise distributing, by the system, a security inspection tray to a person to be inspected through an unpacking station and associating/binding information regarding the person to be inspected to a baggage identifier, and identifying the baggage identifier, obtaining the information of the person to be inspected according to the baggage identifier, obtaining pre-stored risk information according to the information of the person to be inspected, performing differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or baggage according to the risk information, and associating/binding the obtained data to the information of the person to be inspected. Further implementations relate to features such as processing identity information, controlling flow in the baggage handling area(s), imaging baggage, packing the baggage, and finishing the security inspection.

Claims

1. A smart security inspection system, comprising:

a server, an information input unit in an information input area, a baggage unpacking unit in a baggage packing/unpacking area, a security inspection unit in a security inspection area, and a centralized data processing unit in a processing area;

the baggage packing/unpacking area is arranged upstream of the security inspection area;

the information input area is arranged upstream of the baggage packing/unpacking area, the processing area is arranged far away or close to the security inspection area;

the information input unit, the baggage unpacking unit, the security inspection unit and the centralized data processing unit are in communication connection with the server, respectively;

the information input unit obtains information of a person to be inspected;

the baggage unpacking unit obtains the information of the person to be inspected and distributes a baggage identifier to a piece of baggage to be inspected of the person to be inspected;

the baggage unpacking unit binds the baggage identifier and the information of the person to be inspected;

the security inspection unit obtains pre-stored risk information according to the information of the person to be inspected, performs differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage according to the risk information, and sends obtained data to the centralized data processing unit;

the centralized data processing unit evaluates the person to be inspected and/or the baggage according to the data, generates a security inspection result, and binds the security inspection data and the security inspection result with the information of the person to be inspected.

2. The smart security inspection system of claim 1, wherein

the baggage unpacking unit comprises a plurality of baggage unpacking stations, each of which corresponds to a person to be inspected, and distributes the baggage identifier and binds the information of the person to be inspected to the baggage identifier.

3. The smart security inspection system of claim 2, wherein a baffle gate is arranged at an entrance of the baggage packing/unpacking area;

the baffle gate is connected with the server;

the server obtains the number of persons to be inspected in the baggage packing/unpacking area, and the baffle gate is opened or closed according to the number.

4. The smart security inspection system of claim 1, further comprising an image acquisition unit;

before the baggage to be inspected enters the security inspection unit, the image acquisition unit acquires an image of the baggage to be inspected and identifies the baggage identifier, and binds the acquired image of baggage to the baggage identifier.

5. The smart security inspection system of claim 1, wherein the server matches the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and stores them.

6. A smart security inspection method, the method comprising:

distributing a baggage identifier to a piece of baggage to be inspected of a person to be inspected and associating/binding the baggage identifier to information of the person to be inspected at a baggage unpacking station; and

identifying the baggage identifier, obtaining the information of the person to be inspected according to the baggage identifier, obtaining pre-stored risk information according to the information of the person to be inspected, performing differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage according to the risk information, performing centralized processing on obtained data, and associating/binding obtained security inspection result to the information of the person to be inspected.

7. The smart security inspection method of claim 6, further comprising inputting and verifying identity information of the person to be inspected before obtaining the information of the person to be inspected.

8. The smart security inspection method of claim 6, further comprising:

simultaneously distributing baggage identifiers to a plurality of persons to be inspected in the baggage packing/unpacking area; and

controlling a number of the persons to be inspected entering the baggage packing/unpacking area according to a number of the persons to be inspected in the baggage packing/unpacking area.

9. The smart security inspection method of claim 6, further comprising taking an image of the baggage and associating/binding the image to the baggage identifier prior to the step of performing the differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage.

10. The smart security inspection method of claim 6, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

11. The smart security inspection method of claim 7, further comprising:

simultaneously distributing baggage identifiers to a plurality of persons to be inspected in the baggage packing/unpacking area; and

controlling a number of the persons to be inspected entering the baggage packing/unpacking area according to a number of the persons to be inspected in the baggage packing/unpacking area.

12. The smart security inspection method of claim 7, further comprising taking an image of the baggage and binding the image to the baggage identifier prior to the step of performing the differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage.

13. The smart security inspection method of claim 7, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

14. The smart security inspection method of claim 11, further comprising taking an image of the baggage and binding the image to the baggage identifier prior to the step of performing the differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage.

15. The smart security inspection method of claim 11, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

16. The smart security inspection method of claim 14, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

17. The smart security inspection method of claim 8, further comprising taking an image of the baggage and binding the image to the baggage identifier prior to the step of performing the differentiated security inspections on the person to be inspected and/or the baggage.

18. The smart security inspection method of claim 8, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

19. The smart security inspection method of claim 17, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.

20. The smart security inspection method of claim 9, further comprising matching the information of the person to be inspected with the data and/or the security inspection result and storing them.
