A gate apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a matching request unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information about an examination target user. The matching request unit requests a server apparatus that stores biological information about users and MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) information written in machine readable zones in passports issued to the users in association with each other to perform matching on the biological information about the examination target user. The control unit controls a gate so that the examination target user can pass through the gate if information is successfully read out from an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip in a passport issued to the examination target user by using MRZ information determined by the matching.

A method for operating an adaptive gateline may include detecting a patron approaching a gateline. The method may include determining whether the gateline should be operated in a standard mode or in a modified mode based at least in part on data from one or more sensors. The method may include operating the gateline in the standard mode or in the modified mode based on the determination. In the modified mode a barrier of the gateline operates to provide one or both of extra time or additional space for the patron to pass through the gateline relative to the standard mode.

Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide a living body detection method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a payment system, a video surveillance system, and an access system to which the living body detection method is applied, and generally belong to the field of biometric recognition technologies. The living body detection method can include obtaining an image of a to-be-detected object performing key point detection on a biometric feature corresponding to the to-be-detected object in the image, and constructing a constraint box in the image according to detected key points. Further, the method can include capturing a shape change of the constraint box constructed in the image, and determining the to-be-detected object as a prosthesis in response to capturing an abnormal deformation of the constraint box or detecting no key points.

A method and apparatus for controlling a passage barrier is provided herein. During operation the apparatus will determine a location of all persons authorized to enter through the barrier (e.g., a door). The apparatus will also determine the location of all persons not authorized for entry. Based on the location information, the passage barrier will remain open or closed. More particularly, based on the location information, a door, for example, may remain locked unless properly accessed by an authorized person. Additionally, based on the location information, the door may remain open for all to pass through.

The method includes one or more turnstiles using a non-secure ranging process to detect a proximity of one or more mobile computing devices carried by respective users. The method also includes one of the turnstiles, on making a proximity determination in respect of a first of said mobile computing devices, commencing a secure authentication process to authenticate a user carrying the first mobile computing device. The method further includes, in response to a determination that the user carrying the first mobile computing device has been authenticated, allowing the user carrying the first mobile computing device to pass through the turnstile.

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing interactivity between an electronic system and a first user visiting a facility such as, for example, an amusement park. The first user is identified and provided with a first input mobile element. The first input mobile element interacts with input fixed elements. The interaction results in a feedback that is provided, through output means to the first user or his first input mobile element. The feedback is preferably determined according to the history of the first user.
