1.Technological and R&D Advantages 1.1Mastering the Core Algorithms of Biometrics, Leading in Multimodal Technology in the Industry After years of in-depth development, the company has established a technical system centered around single biometric recognition and multimodal biometric recognition. In the field of single biometric recognition, the company has successfully developed a variety of recognition technologies, including fingerprint, palm vein, palmprint, face, finger vein, and iris recognition. The company not only masters the core algorithms of biometrics but also possesses the industrial incubation ability to deeply integrate technologies with applications in multiple industries, providing strong technical support for fields such as intelligent retail, finance, and security. As of December 31, 2024, the company has accumulatively obtained 963 patents, including 171 invention patents; 739 computer software copyrights, and 84 copyrights of works, demonstrating its strong R&D capabilities. 1.2Ultra-Short Latency Supercomputing Technology Empowers Edge Deployment The company's original ultra-short latency supercomputing technology provides a breakthrough solution for the deployment of biometric recognition on edge and terminal devices, boasting three major advantages: stability, low cost, and security. This technology maximizes the performance of edge devices, offering revolutionary support for the widespread application of biometric recognition. 1.3Deep Dive into Multi-modal BioCV Artificial Intelligence Technology The company is a pioneer in the industry that has advanced from single biometric recognition technology to multimodal BioCV (the integration of biometrics and computer vision) artificial intelligence technology. The application of this technology has been upgraded from simple identity verification ("Who are you?") to multimodal intelligent services ("Who are you and what can I provide for you?"), and it also incorporates the empathetic experience of scene interaction. 1.4Large Model Technology + Edge AI + Smart Space Scenarios Traditional access control management only focuses on the passage control of people and vehicles, being limited to basic operations in the physical space. BioStar focuses on the physical space calculation of people, vehicles, and objects at the access points, with an emphasis on the control of entities. The concept of universal access points proposed by UniAccess takes people, vehicles, and objects into digital space calculation, achieving a certain degree of digital upgrade. Based on the MarsLume AI Platform:AI platform and BioCV TinyML edge AI technology, the company breaks through the boundaries between physical and digital spaces through AI cognitive spatial computing technology. 1.5Large Model Technology + Smart Office Scenarios The Ralvie AI time management agent tool launched by the company, with its efficient work record and data analysis capabilities, the Ralvie agent has become an indispensable intelligent assistant for enterprises. From helping employees optimize their work methods to providing strategic support for managers, Ralvie demonstrates its powerful ability to comprehensively cover business scenarios. 1.6Large Model Technology + Smart Retail Scenarios In the retail field, the company uses computer vision technology to achieve shelf supervision, product recommendation, passenger flow analysis, and support for unmanned stores. Through the research on the BioCV LLM3.0 large model, the company empowers intelligent retail on the edge computing side, supporting intelligent shopping guidance and content generation. 1.7Advantages of the R&D Team and External Cooperation The biometric industry is technology-intensive, and R&D strength is of vital importance. As of December 31, 2024, the company has 1,118 global R&D and engineering technical personnel, and has established R&D centers in Dongguan and Shenzhen, Xiamen, Dalian, and India. 1.8Participating in the Formulation of Industry Standards and Occupying the Commanding Heights The company actively participates in the formulation of 32 national and local industry standards, masters the direction of technological development, makes advance arrangements for product R&D, and ensures a leading position in market competition. 2.Product Portfolio Advantages Our portfolio seamlessly integrates hardware and software products, interconnected through digitalization and intelligent technologies, to deliver diversified smart solutions tailored for cross-industry applications. As market demands become increasingly fragmented, we continuously expand our product matrix to provide end-to-end coverage across all key scenarios: Smart Spaces、Smart Office、Digital Identity Authentication and Smart Commerce. 3.Global marketing service network and the advantages of localized services After years of development, the company has accumulated rich experience in the operation of channel products and possesses a large number of customer resources.
