Editor's Note: The highlights of the Shanghai World Expo continue to exist, and there are also a large number of science and technology highlights in the small tickets. This is the world's largest volume, highest quality requirements, and the longest span of use of radio frequency smart tag projects, and is entirely based on China's autonomous knowledge. property. As for the entire Expo ticket system, the prototype of the future “Internet of Things Society†is displayed.
Accommodating system
With the smart features of the Expo ticket system, every caring person can feel: The entrance of the park, the ticket gate function can instantly recognize different types of tickets: single-day tickets are immediately stamped, and multi-day tickets are stamped at the last available time; The night ticket was only released after 5 o'clock in the evening.
The gates are smart and tickets are also. To open the ticket, you will find that in its inner upper left, there is a sesame-sized chip connected to a circle of antennas, and using it, the gates “talk†with tickets.
Tickets are printed with a long list of identifiers for each ticket. This is equivalent to their respective names. The process of selling tickets is like registering for a newborn child. The ticket sales agent will write various encrypted information on the ticket chip. Including "birthday" (when to buy) and "hometown" (where to buy), and report online. Whether “reporting accounts†is the basis for identifying the authenticity of tickets.
The Expo ticket system is a large network of exchanges. Tickets, ticket outlets, and ticket gates are controlled by the "brain" - the control center. It embodies the characteristics of the “Internet of Things Intelligent Control†of the Internet of Things: In the stage of ticket sales, through the remote control of ticket vending machines, the organizer can implement the staged fare policy in a unified manner across the country and master the sales schedule; sellers such as inventory shortage No ticketing is required. Ticketing centers that are always clear about the situation will arrange shipments. After the park is opened, instant information uploaded by ticket gates and ticket outlets can help the operation command center to start various preplans in a timely manner; the immediate passenger flow in the park is obtained by summarizing the statistical data of each ticket inspection gate; and the passenger flow at each entrance is found to be unbalanced and commanded. The center can immediately dispatch the team chartered vehicles to the relatively free entrance to stop at the guests.
Really sharpening the industrial chain
The Internet of Things and related RF smart label technologies involve a series of links such as chip design, chip manufacturing, software development, and system integration. The most important part of this Expo ticket project was completed in Shanghai.
Since 2000, Shanghai has been committed to building the most complete chip industry environment in China, and has actively combined with people's livelihood projects to create a large-scale application environment for new technologies. Several companies that took on the World Expo ticket project had previously formed a “group army†and successfully developed the first real RFID product in China—the Shanghai Public Transport Card; subsequently, it broke the multinational corporation’s on-orbit ticketing and gatekeeper system. Monopoly.
Fan Heng, head of the Shanghai World Expo Ticket Project, told reporters that several previous “battles†helped them gain experience in technology, market, and application, and they were emboldened.
Compared with past applications, the chip for the Expo tickets is more integrated and the design scheme is more complete. Due to the time span of ticket sales spanning over one year, some tickets will be stored by tourists for a long time before use, so the requirements for reliability and safety are very stringent - in the past 50 days, the ticket office has encountered various Careless people, some tickets were compromised, some tickets were thrown into the washing machine, but in most cases can still be used normally. The ticket inspection system, despite the frequent opening of large passenger traffic, has not affected stable operation.
There are many details to consider when designing the Expo ticket system. For example, how used tickets are distinguished. The easiest way is to punch holes, but in this case, tens of millions of tickets will leave a huge amount of confetti. After repeated consultations, the indentation method was eventually adopted. For another example, in order to facilitate tourists, tickets are designed to take into account extreme situations such as poor preservation and circuit damage. In this case, the ticket processing machine located in the ticket processing kiosk can be used to manually input the identification code on the ticket to verify the validity of the network.
The Expo tickets are not blindly new, but the most suitable and mature technology. It has been proposed that the effective identification distance for tickets be several meters. However, in order to eliminate the possibility of "empty tickets" in theory, the short distance program within 10 centimeters was chosen. However, the Expo tickets did not reject long-distance identification technology. In the logistics sector, electronic tags that can be read within a few meters are attached to every small package of 250 tickets. When entering and leaving the warehouse, the access control can remotely and automatically read the information of a complete vehicle ticket package to control the flow of tickets.
The big industry that is spawning
The Shanghai World Expo is a “medium exam†for the R&D and industrialization of Internet of Things and radio frequency smart tag technology in China and Shanghai in the past 10 years. It is also a large-scale application demonstration—in addition to tickets, the Internet of Things and its closely related intelligence. Tags are also used in electronic fences, vehicle positioning, and even manhole covers.
Previously, during the Aichi Expo and the Beijing Olympics, smart labels had been used, but the scale was far from the Shanghai World Expo. Fan Heng told reporters that radio frequency smart labels have to enter the stage of popularization, and they still have to improve the overall technology, products, standards, and application models. In addition, its overall cost is still high, which is also an important factor affecting popularization; but Under the promotion of large-scale application demonstrations such as the Shanghai World Expo, the application environment will gradually improve, and the system cost is expected to drop significantly.
Just three days before the opening of the World Expo, Shanghai formally promulgated the “Action Plan for Promoting the Development of the Internet of Things Industry (2010-2012)â€, and for the first time put forward a comprehensive plan for this strategic industry. According to the plan, Shanghai will strive to become a global center for the development of the Internet of Things, and through the application of new technologies, improve people's livelihood and urban management.
Many experts believe that the Shanghai World Expo ticket project is a guiding and important event in the development of China's radio frequency smart labels and Internet of Things technologies and industries. Perhaps it can be said that the Expo tickets opened up the door to Shanghai and China for this emerging high-tech industry.
