The power of security technology behind the Beijing Winter Olympics

In the "City of The Two Olympics", there is such a team, their original intention is like a rock, bravely guaranteed the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, they set off again with their heads held high, rushing to the 2022 Winter Olympics, becoming a veritable "double Olympic team". This team is the electronic ticket team of the "Covenant of The Two Olympics" of the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China.

In the close contact between the astronauts and the Olympic Games, the 706 electronic ticket team of the 706th Institute of the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China and the Olympic Games realized the "six firsts", which was what the previous Olympic Games wanted to do but did not do: the first large-scale successful use of electronic chips and the deployment of inspection systems greatly improved the security and prevention capabilities of Olympic tickets; the first time electronic chips were embedded in Olympic tickets and documents. It has solved the problem of fake tickets and fake certificates at previous Olympic Games; for the first time, it has successfully implemented the real-name system at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to ensure the safety of the opening and closing ceremonies; the first time it has successfully realized the authenticity of the tickets verified within 1/10 second, ensuring the rapid and smooth entry of nearly 10 million ticket holders in all events; for the first time, it has realized the real-time monitoring of admission information, providing a timely and accurate decision-making basis for commanders at all levels to control the admission situation of each security checkpoint in real time, accurate command, and rapid response For the first time, the automatic inspection and real-time control of tickets and documents reported as lost were successfully realized to ensure that the people, certificates and tickets were consistent and the safety of the Olympic venues was guaranteed.

The electronic ticket system developed by 706 was applied to the ticket inspection of the main venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The Winter Olympics are like airbags, the smoother, the more hidden, if there is an order, it will be sharp. This team of only 40 people needs to complete tasks that are difficult for others to complete: from the beginning of the Winter Olympics to the Winter Olympic Torch Relay, the team needs to complete the style design, logo design, data collection, data standardization processing, document production, human core association, document verification and multi-district linkage in just 10 days, including the torch relayers, staff, on-site audiences, and thousands of vehicle certificates; the Winter Olympic Torch Relay Electronic Ticket Guarantee Work Site involves Beijing, Yanqing, Zhangjiakou three divisions, 11 closed transmission area outside the closed loop and 1 independent transmission area within the closed loop, the team needs to fully coordinate the technical personnel, support personnel, some members even need to run through the three divisions within two days of the torch relay; weather plays an extremely important role in the Winter Olympics, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Winter Olympics, the team needs to ensure that personnel and equipment in the low temperature of minus 20 degrees to maintain the working state...

In 2008, Liu Lei, a volunteer for the Beijing Olympic Games, used the electronic ticket system developed by the Second Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry 706 to check the tickets of all spectators entering the venue. By 2021, Liu Lei has become a member of the development team of the Beijing Winter Olympic Torch Relay Electronic Ticketing System. Thinking back 14 years ago, he was a beginner in software engineering, and today he has grown to become the technical leader of the team that can lead the software development process. In the past 14 years, Liu Lei has never stopped learning, especially after taking over the electronic ticket system in recent years, he has devoted himself more desperately to this cause he loves, because he has used the ticket system, so he often thinks about the user experience from the user's point of view, and knows the pain points and deficiencies of the system. In the past, in the data standardization processing and the production of documents after the personnel and chips associated links, need to invest a lot of labor and time, Liu Lei by adding auxiliary handling procedures in the software, perfectly solved this problem, a large reduction in manpower investment at the same time, but also improve the production efficiency.
