Researchers have developed a "face swiping" system to enable taxpayers to pay their taxes online by simply taking a picture through mobile devices.
The local tax bureau of Suzhou has cooperated with Alibaba’s Alipay to develop the tax payment system based on world advanced face recognition technology.
The face recognition takes only a few seconds and the accuracy rate is as high as 99.8 percent. It can even recognize twin faces that are hard to distinguish for naked eyes.
As a person's face hardly can be replicated, it is safer. And users do not need to worry when they get fatter or thinner, as the system can also recognize the face.
People can install such an app on cellphone and PC. After setting up a link with their bank account or credit card, users can check the amount of the taxes to be paid in the corresponding month or year and pay their taxes online by swiping their face.
