High-star hotel card use

Each hotel is very careful when choosing room locks. This is due to a security concept. The history of the locks is well known, but most people understand the mechanical locks. Its principle is to use a number of different marbles with a corresponding key to open a lock. Decades ago, almost all hotels used this mechanical lock. This kind of lock using marbles, its structure survives the problem of safety. Due to the limited number of marbles, the high and low positions are limited and easy to open with some other tools. At the same time, the key E is lost or used, it is very easy to be copied, the solution is only to replace the lock. This is a very tricky issue for a hotel that pays attention to economic efficiency. In 1967 Vir19Card invented the world's first card lock. It was this card with dozens of holes that changed the history of locks. First of all, it has as many as 32 marbles, which makes it impossible to open the lock without a key. It is almost impossible to go through astronomical arrangement. There is also a card lock card, that is, if the key is lost or copied, the guest can make a new key card at the front desk and void the original key card. Service personnel and management personnel can have corresponding levels of common keys to solve service and management issues. This solves problems from the aspects of security, economy and service management. The invention of the card lock opens up the idea for the application of various high-tech locks such as magnetic card locks, IC card locks, proximity card locks, and fingerprint touch locks, and lays a solid foundation. With the development of science and technology, hotel services and facilities must reflect the style of the times. According to the requirements of the national standard GB/T14308-1997, it can be seen that installing electronic door locks in high-star hotels is an inevitable trend.

Magnetic card and IC card Under the condition that there are many kinds of electronic card doors latched, what kind of medium card does the hotel choose? Magnetic cards were born in the early 1970s and were limited to European industrial fields. Its development is unusually rapid. It is estimated that the number of magnetic cards circulating this year will reach more than 2 billion. This very low cost magnetic card is used in various fields, and it can store a lot of information on its magnetic stripe. However, its storage capacity is not large, and its security performance can be achieved through encryption. It can also be opened to the outside without encryption. It has a higher requirement for the network, because most of the magnetic cards represent a kind of certification, and the processing of various services must be completed by the corresponding central computer.

The IC card, also known as the IC card, was invented by French Moran in the 1970s. It is a credit card-sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip. It is this card that has ROM, RAM, CPU, EEPROM, etc., similar to a microprocessor. Therefore, the C card has all the excellent information processing performance that the magnetic card does not have. Such as large storage, confidentiality, and computing capabilities. It can be used without a network, and sometimes it can also be used as an electronic wallet. Its development prospects are broad. This year it can occupy a market share that is almost the same as a magnetic card. But its cost is higher, about 10 times that of magnetic cards. There are also some types of electronic cards that are not described in detail here.

Why did you choose Magnetic Card Beijing Hotel to choose the magnetic card, because first of all, the guests stayed in the hotel after the first checkout, so from the perspective of the hotel management, all the guest’s receivables should be recorded in the management system of the front desk of the hotel. The money is credited to the guest's card. Second, the network construction within the hotel is complete. Each of the consumer sites has matching facilities and is a broad-based building of the building network. Third, the hotel's service to customers is different from many self-services used to save human resources. Therefore, identification of guests is very important. Fourth, in-house guests generally hold consumer cards such as Master, V|SA, AMER|CAN EXPRESS, Great Wall, Peony, and Dragon Card. These are due to the external environment and historical circumstances, all of which are magnetic cards. Fifth, the cost of the magnetic card is quite low. The hotel will leave a meaningful memorial for the guests and present a magnetic card bearing the hotel logo, which is both a souvenir of the guest's place of residence and the promotion of the hotel through the guests. Sixth, the one-off consumer magnetic card has a sense of security for the guests. Since the magnetic card was newly made at the time, it would not be felt by the bad guys. Seventh, when the guest loses cards or the management of a certain level of management personnel is not good, it is easy to do the appropriate treatment. Eighth, other devices accept magnetic cards. Therefore, the hotel chose a magnetic card.

The mode of operation of the card is currently intelligent hotel put forward the hotel's card needs. It refers to the combination of one card consumption, identity authentication and room electronic door lock in one or several buildings or in the hotel group. In addition to housing, there are 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. In other words, in the integrated system, there must be a unified card issuing system, in which the information of all guests in the entire integrated system is shared, and they work under the same agreement. The various systems perform their duties and jointly complete the hotel's various service functions to the guests. Since the operation of the hotel is driven by the pursuit of profitability, the selection of electronic cards is conducted on the premise of providing the best quality services, maximizing the use of resources, reducing costs, and facilitating management. Beijing Hotel in the selection of electronic door locks, and the world's major suppliers of locks have negotiated, the hotel from the perspective of the integration of the guests will come to the store date, pre-stay time, room number, flag bits with no encryption The way once, | the requirement for the master to write to the second track, is something that no manufacturer in the world has ever done. At the same time, it is required that the magnetic information of the door lock be automatically written by the front desk computer and can be read by the P0S machine to ensure multi-point card printing at night in 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. The new card is locked on the door lock, and the old card is automatically invalidated. If it is a card, although the old card cannot enter the door, it may be used at the cash register of the restaurant. Therefore, door lock manufacturers, front-end system manufacturers, cash register manufacturers must have a unified agreement. When the guest arrives at the restaurant and presents a magnetic card, the front desk information must exactly match the guest's signature. At this time, the cashier can sign the order.

Magnetic card door lock application experience in the use of Beijing Hotel practice, we understand that: magnetic card management involves many departments of the hotel, in the management of the corresponding rules and regulations. In the management of guests, FITs must be printed in person. For the team guests, they must be prepared in advance and handed over to the guests. The front desk should make the customer's report of missing card and damage card and baggage card. The room department should reasonably allocate the use of segment cards, floor cards, group cards, regional cards, and large area cards, and reasonably allocate corresponding magnetic cards to cleaners, drink inspectors, night shifters, and supervisors. The Ministry of Security created various authorization cards, sealed cards and controlled all magnetic cards. All information retained by the lock is extracted immediately after the accident and a comprehensive analysis is performed. The management of the engineering department is mainly aimed at the routine maintenance of the door lock, replacing the battery within a specified time, cleaning the magnetic card, and ensuring the long-term and stable operation of the door lock. System maintenance is an important part. In an integrated system, the problem of any one subsystem will eventually be reflected in the parent system and may cause the entire system to fail. Therefore, from the perspective of the system, there must be a corresponding test report program. This system is a transaction processing system that basically works at the low end, so daily maintenance is particularly important.

The development of electronic door locks depends on the progress of the entire society. When new demands arise, we must adapt to its development. Therefore, if the cost of other types of high-tech cards (such as non-contact IC cards) falls within the user's acceptable range, and the corresponding equipment is also developed synchronously, the application of hotel door locks may take a new leap forward.
