The unauthorized appropriation and vandalism of shared bicycles have long been a major challenge for the industry. QR codes are scratched off, locks are replaced, and bikes are even taken home... With sky-high maintenance costs, companies lose millions of dollars every year. The reason vandals act with impunity is that the cost of breaking the law is low—they can simply switch accounts and keep riding.
The glass-based fingerprint recognition solution provided by Xingqihang offers critical technical support for the closed-loop management of public facilities such as shared bicycles.
First-Time Use: Linking Your Fingerprint
After scanning the QR code, users must scan their fingerprint on the bike’s fingerprint sensor. The system will permanently link the fingerprint to the account. The chip uses glass-based infrared detection technology: it illuminates the finger with infrared light to detect subcutaneous vital signs (such as blood flow). Fake fingerprints (made of silicone, gel, etc.) lack vital signs and will fail verification. The glass-based sensor provides a pure signal, enabling accurate recognition of dry or wet fingers, as well as cracked or dirty ones. Rainy weather, cold temperatures, and sweaty hands do not affect usage.
Helping Customers Implement “Blacklisting for Violations”
Based on CoreQ's fingerprint recognition solution, operators can establish their own account binding and violation handling mechanisms. For example: If sensors built into the bike detect abnormal movement or intentional damage, and after verification, the operator can add the user's fingerprint to a blacklist, preventing them from using any bikes of the same brand. One violation results in a lifetime ban.
Reliable technology, suitable for outdoor environments
With a surface hardness of 5H, a lifespan of over 1 million presses, and protection against water and dust, the chip operates stably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, withstanding wind, rain, extreme cold, and intense heat.
Xinqihang’s fingerprint recognition solution provides a reliable technical means for managing public facilities—such as shared bicycles—to prevent unauthorized use and vandalism. It ensures that vandals “can’t ride,” while making the experience more convenient for honest users.
