FaceLock Security

Revolutionizing User Session Security in an AI-Driven World

Introducing FaceLock™: A Cutting-edge Feature of Zamok® Kiosk Management Software by Advanced Kiosks®.

Detecting Humans, Not People

In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping self-service interactions, Advanced Kiosks® is pioneering the next step in user data protection with the launch of FaceLock™. As AI tools become integral to kiosks and public computers, enhancing everything from online ordering to complex form filling, the need for robust session security has never been greater.

Howard Horn, President of Advanced Kiosks, highlights the innovation behind FaceLock: “We quickly realized that when using Artificial Intelligence (AI), the users of our self-service technology need better protections in place so that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not left lingering on the computer or on the Internet. Hence, FaceLock was born.”

FaceLock™ does more than just secure a session; it’s an integral part of the Zamok Kiosk Management Software, ensuring that once a user session ends—whether by completion or because the user steps away—all PII is immediately and completely erased. This enhances user trust and aligns with the highest standards of AI ethics.

Why FaceLock™:

  • Enhanced Security: Automatically resets user sessions, preventing accidental data exposure.
  • Complete Privacy: Ensures no PII remains on the device or online post-session.
  • Seamless Integration: Works cohesively with Zamok kiosk management software to manage and protect every interaction.

For more details on how FaceLock™ is setting new standards in user privacy and data security, visit our website: www.advancedkiosks.com/zamok-facelock

Stay tuned as we continue to redefine the self-service experience, making it safer and more efficient in an AI-driven world.

kiosk report

Upgraded Weekly Kiosk Usage Reports

Weekly ReportZamok Software subscribers will receive detailed insights into each of your kiosk’s performance directly into your inbox.  There will be one report per kiosk, offering a detailed overview of that kiosk’s activities, including:

1. Individualized Reports: The enhanced reports are generated and sent separately for each of your kiosks. So if you have a fleet of 8 kiosks, you’ll receive 8 tailored reports, enabling you to analyze performance metrics for each kiosk independently.

2. Easy Kiosk Identification: To quickly identify which kiosk each report pertains to, the kiosk name is clearly listed in the email subject line. The subject line will be: Advanced Kiosks – Your weekly kiosk status report is ready for [kiosk name].

3. Prominent Kiosk Details: The name and physical location of the kiosk are highlighted in the first section of the report, providing at-a-glance context. The name can be changed if needed.

4. Helpful Resources: Watch for the new weekly email banner featuring the latest news, new product and features, tips and best practices from Advanced Kiosks. You’ll also find a quick link to our blog for additional helpful content.

5. Focused Metrics: The usage statistics and charts in each report are specific to the individual kiosk, allowing you to accurately assess the performance and usage patterns of each unit in your fleet.

Custom Tribute Solution for Roslyn Cemeteries

In the historic cemeteries of Roslyn, WA, an innovative project is underway, transforming the way they connect with and preserve the legacy of the past. This initiative, a collaboration with Advanced Kiosks (and customized variation of the Tribute Station), integrates cutting-edge kiosk and software technology to create an interactive digital archive. The Roslyn Cemetery kiosk serves as a gateway to the rich histories of individuals resting in these sacred grounds, allowing visitors and families to explore and contribute to a living tapestry of memories.

The kiosk is not only a digital storyteller but also a navigator, guiding users to specific grave sites with ease. By entering a name, visitors can access detailed profiles, complete with photographs and stories, bridging the gap between past and present. The users can also snap a QR code with their phone and take the cemetery maps with them!

This project is a shining example of how technology can enhance connection to history, bringing communities together to celebrate and remember their shared heritage.

Olmsted County Rolls Out Advanced Kiosks Self-Service Kiosks Across County

In a signficant step toward enhancing public service delivery, Olmsted County, Minnesota’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has partnered with Advanced Kiosks to introduce an innovative self-service solution aimed at streamlining operations and improving customer experience.

“At Olmsted County, we believe in providing high quality service with care to the community. We also strive to deliver innovative solutions to help improve our residents’ quality of life,” stated Olmsted County Administrator Heidi Welsch. “The Olmsted County Kiosks are designed to be another touchpoint for residents to access help from the county.”

The collaboration began with a pilot program that featured a single test kiosk from Advanced Kiosks. Positioned to tackle routine tasks that typically consume substantial staff time, the kiosk was met with enthusiastic approval from both the public and county employees. The success of the pilot program paved the way for a more extensive rollout.

“This is just phase one of our Olmsted County Kiosks effort,” said Health, Housing & Human Services Division Administrator Sarah Oachs. “We will gather learnings from this first phase and continue expanding the number of offerings available in the future.”

Kiosk FormFlow

Kiosk FormFlow

FormFlow refers to the logical sequence and design of forms within a self-service application. It encompasses the flow from one field to another, the layout of questions, and how information is collected and processed. Form Flow will even populate one of your existing PDF forms with the digitized answers created during the flow.

What Makes a Formflow Successful?

An optimal FormFlow design ensures that users can navigate through forms intuitively, inputting necessary information without confusion or frustration. It guides users through a seamless journey, making complex processes feel simple and manageable. It reduces cognitive load by presenting information and input fields in a logical order, minimizing the likelihood of errors and the need for corrections.
