摘要

The present invention discloses a method to automate arrival and departure procedures in a terminal comprising the following steps in sequence set forth: capturing, by an image acquisition device (210), at least one facial feature of a person heading towards an entry or exit gate of the terminal, wherein the person is carrying an electronic document contains a radio frequency chip; transmitting, by the image acquisition device (210), the captured facial features to an identification information module (220); performing, by the identification information module (220), facial recognition for identifying the person and retrieving a key associated to the person's electronic document from a database (230); when the person enters the terminal and presents the electronic document at an electronic document reader (240), establishing, a secure radio frequency communication link between the radio frequency chip and the electronic document reader (240) using the retrieved key, for verifying whether the identified person is rightful owner of the electronic document by the identification information module (220).
