NEC Announces I:Delight, a Biometrics Payment System, at NEC Visionary Week 2022

Tokyo, Japan--(Newsfile Corp. - December 19, 2022) - NEC (JPX: 6701) (OTC Pink: NIPNF) Announces I:Delight, a biometric payment system, at NEC Visionary Week 2022.

Experts at NEC Visionary Week 2022 discussed how the new technology will change the future of transactions.

The experts situated biometrics in the history of payments extending from cash to credit cards to e-commerce. They also discussed how biometric payments work, the advantages of facial recognition for use cases such as retail, entertainment and events, the NEC I:Delight concept and how contactless authentication will transform travel and tourism in general.

NEC I:Delight is a customer experience platform launched by NEC, which has a history of award-winning biometric solutions. NEC I:Delight is designed to integrate users' physical and digital identities into one ecosystem. It uses biometrics as a contactless authentication system for seamless, personalized experiences at airport and hotel check-ins and other touchpoints.

NEC / Star Alliance I:Delight

NEC began airport biometric procedures in 2020, in collaboration with Star Alliance, providing a smooth, more convenient experience for international travelers. Passengers simply pre-register their facial and passport information, allowing them to walk through security and the boarding gate. NEC plans to expand the service around the world and connect it to other services such as baggage check-in, lounge access, duty-free shopping, car rentals and hotel check-in. The technology has also been implemented in a pilot project in the Japanese resort of Nanki Shirahama, where customers can pay for everything with just a glance.

Fourteen years on, the Nikkei 225 - though not yet Topix - has hit a new all-time high. This report looks at how Japan built on those things that were going right, while also starting to address what else needed to be done, and looks at whether more is needed to be done if the market rally is to continue from here.
