Vending machine uses facial recognition to deny you snacks
分享到
Now it’s no longer your mom reminding you not to eat that Twinkie.
現(xiàn)在,你媽媽再也不用提醒你少吃奶油蛋糕了。
A new vending machine uses facial recognition technology to deny would-be snackers from buying certain foods that don’t fit their personal profile.
一臺新型的自動售貨機(jī)通過面部識別技術(shù),拒絕向吃零食的人販賣不符合他們個人健康狀況的食物。
The Luce X2 Touch TV vending machine can be programmed to identify users and remember their snack preferences--even accessing their age, medical records and vending purchase histories, writes the Telegraph.
這臺名為Luce X2的自動售貨機(jī)帶有一個觸摸屏。經(jīng)過編程,它可以識別使用者的身份,并記住他們的飲食偏好,甚至還可以識別出使用者的年齡、醫(yī)療記錄以及在自動售貨機(jī)上的歷史購買記錄。
If the user’s snack choice doesn’t fit their profile, the Luce X2 won’t dispense the item.
如果使用者購買的零食不符合他們的健康狀況,Luce X2將會拒絕出售。
Smart Vend Solutions, a creator of the Luce X2, just unveiled the machine inU.K., and says it can be programmed to keep children from buying cigarettes, hospital patients away from salty or sugary foods and keep dieters on track.
近日,Smart Vend Solutions公司在英國將Luce X2公諸于眾。該公司稱,這臺經(jīng)過編程的機(jī)器不會向孩子們出售香煙,也不會向醫(yī)院的患者出售含有鹽分和糖分的食物。同時,也不會幫助節(jié)食的人“犯罪”。
Malcolm Standage, from Smart Vend Solutions, told the Telegraph that this could redefine the automatic retailing industry.
Smart Vend Solutions公司的馬爾科姆?斯坦達(dá)格(Malcolm Standage)在接受《電訊報》采訪時表示,這臺機(jī)器將重新定義自動零售業(yè)。
“Launching the very first full production facial recognition technology represents an advancement which will bring unlimited benefits to businesses and consumers across the U.K,” he said.
據(jù)他所言,這臺首部全方位覆蓋面部識別技術(shù)機(jī)器的投放使用代表了科技的進(jìn)步。這將會給全英國的商業(yè)以及消費(fèi)者帶來長久的利益。
This isn’t the first time facial recognition has been used in vending machines. This summer, Coca-Cola tested the use of a similar machine in Australia that collected sales and interacted with users by way of a digital LED screen and integrated camera. And software giant SAP also has their own version of a smart vending machine that dispense anything from food, to drinks, to electronics.
這并不是第一次在自動售貨機(jī)上使用面部識別技術(shù)。今夏,可口可樂公司在澳大利亞投入使用了一臺類似的機(jī)器以測試它的效用。這臺機(jī)器可以收集產(chǎn)品銷量,并通過一個電子LED顯示屏和集成攝像機(jī)與使用者互動。軟件制造巨頭SAP公司也推出了一款自動售貨機(jī),不僅可以販賣食物和飲料,還可以出售電子產(chǎn)品。
