JobKorea Launches AI Lobby Phone 'Alpha' Based on Facial Recognition

-AI lobby phone debuts after AI door lock 'Heaven', eliminates numeric keypad to block password leaks

– AI-based facial recognition for resident verification… AI voice recognition for easy use by visitors

-Enhancing convenience for residents by providing access control and integrated convenience functions within the complex through a single Jikbang Smart Home app

-Developing AI services closely related to daily life, such as a 24-hour AI security office and notifications of delayed child arrival

Domestic leading proptech company Zigbang (CEO Sungwoo Ahn) announced on the 21st that it has released a new product, AI lobby phone 'Alpha (ZH-L70)'.

The Zigbang Smart Home Lobby Phone Alpha is the second ‘passwordless’ concept device that Zigbang is introducing, following the AI door lock ‘Haven’ that was first introduced in January. It allows opening and closing of the common entrance door using facial recognition alone, without entering a password or tagging a card, and the circular design centered on the display enhances aesthetics.

Existing number-entry lobby phones have been consistently criticized for security issues due to password leaks. The AI lobby phone Alpha boldly removes the number keypad for passwords and strengthens security by introducing AI biometric authentication and a dedicated smartphone app linkage function. In particular, the AI facial recognition and voice recognition functions have secured stability with industry-leading technology, and there is no risk of personal information leaks as public key-based asymmetric encryption (PKI) technology is applied.

In addition to facial recognition, residents can also enter using the mobile key tag of the 'Jikbang Smart Home App'. The app also provides visitor management functions such as remote door opening and video calls. When visitors say their building and unit number on the lobby phone, AI recognizes their voice and connects them to the resident smartphone app. You can also specify the visitor's entry period or time and issue a QR pass or temporary password.

Depending on the installation complex, functions such as viewing notices, filing civil complaints, reserving community facilities, smart parking services, and electronic voting are also provided, so users can use all the functions necessary for life in the complex with just one 'Jikbang Smart Home App' without having to switch between multiple apps.

The 'Jikbang Smart Home App' was developed as an AIoT platform that can be linked with various smart devices in addition to Jikbang's AI door lock and lobby phone. It is intended to gradually apply smart home functions that take into account the lifestyles of each resident. For example, the goal is to implement AI-based, life-oriented services such as notifying guardians when their elementary school children are late coming home, automatically adjusting the indoor temperature according to the time they leave work, and recommending exercise based on health status and weather.

△ B2B expansion signal with application of Yongin Gichuk Complex… From complex management solution to AI security room

Starting with the launch of Alpha, Jikbang Smart Home has begun to attack the B2B smart home market in earnest. On the 14th, the first AI lobby phone Alpha was completed in the Gyeongnam Earthville 2nd apartment complex in Beoldeulchi Village, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Alpha Construction Complex is provided with a dedicated cloud-based management solution. It is possible to register the entry and exit of apartment residents, and manage regular visitors such as delivery vehicles and visiting vehicles. In addition, remote A/S and real-time security solution updates are provided on a regular basis, which not only improves management efficiency but also excels in terms of strengthening security.

An 'AI security office' capable of responding 24 hours a day is also under development. When there is no staff at the security office or management office, AI can respond to residents or visitors with voice, and all conversations and entry/exit records are automatically saved in the system, allowing complex managers to check them in real time.

Jikbang CEO Ahn Sung-woo said, “Lobbyphone Alpha is an innovative device that solves the access security problem of apartment complexes with a cloud-based smart home solution.” He added, “Jikbang will continue to provide AloT-based smart home services that can satisfy both residents and managers.”
