AI self-service seal robot

An intelligent seal-control device that prints, compares, seals and scans documents inside one enclosure, without the operator touching the physical seal.

Intelligent seal control

A combination of devices, software, permissions and records used to manage physical seal use, with seal isolation, authorization and traceability.

All-in-one seal device

A device that integrates printing, comparison, sealing and archiving for bank outlets and enterprise sealing points.

Print-and-seal device

A device that combines document printing with physical seal application, usually with comparison, identity and audit functions.

Physical seal isolation

The operator and the physical seal are separated; the seal remains inside the device and is driven by an authorized task.

Full-document comparison

Comparing the entire document, including text, images and layout, with the approved version rather than checking selected pages.

Seal-control system

Software for managing seals, user permissions, sealing tasks, approvals, device status and audit reports.

Physical seal

A physical stamp applied with ink or paste, as distinct from an electronic seal or digital signature.

E-signature

A method of signing electronic files with digital certificates and electronic signatures, usually through an online workflow.

Electronic seal

A digital seal image or signature data managed electronically, usually with an e-signature platform and identity verification.

Sealing approval

The review of applicant, document, purpose, seal type and permission before sealing.

Sealing record

A record of the task, applicant, document, time, seal position, device status and process video for audit.

Video evidence

Video or images recorded during sealing, showing document placement, the sealing action and collection.

Automatic sealing

The device positions and applies the seal automatically under an authorized task, reducing manual alignment.

Seal-on-the-go

Using a physical seal away from its normal custody location; this usually requires a separate assessment.

Return verification

Checking that the physical seal has returned to the device after use.

Seal verification

Recognizing and comparing seal impressions to confirm authenticity, status or audit evidence.

OCR

Optical character recognition, converting text in images into searchable text; often combined with image comparison in seal-control scenarios.

Machine vision

Using cameras and algorithms to understand images for document positioning, layout recognition and difference detection.

Layout comparison

Comparing paragraphs, tables, images, page numbers and layout to detect replaced pages and formatting changes.

Page replacement

Replacing a page in a contract or using a similar layout to hide a content change; full-document comparison helps detect it.

Overprinting

Printing content onto an existing form or blank area, which may create risk when combined with seals, amounts or dates.

Blank seal

Applying a seal to blank paper or an incomplete document before the content is finalized.

Cross-page seal

A seal applied across the edges of multiple pages so the pages are linked and harder to replace.

Multi-seal position

Configuring multiple seal positions in one device to manage several physical seals.

Offline sealing

The device continues authorized work during a network interruption and synchronizes records when connectivity returns.

Xinchuang compatibility

Compatibility verification with domestic operating systems, databases, middleware, browsers and chip platforms.

Private deployment

Deploying the system in the customer’s own or designated data center/cloud, keeping data under customer control.

Shared service center

An organization that centralizes sealing, settlement or approval work for multiple institutions or business units.

Multi-entity control

A group manages seals, permissions and records for multiple legal entities while keeping tiered authorization.

Audit traceability

Reconstructing the sealing process from tasks, approvals, video and document versions to support internal and external audits.

Sealing closed loop

The complete flow from application, approval, comparison, sealing and archiving to audit, with records and responsibility boundaries.

Domestic substitution

Replacing foreign operating systems, databases, middleware, browsers or chip platforms with domestic alternatives; for seal control, the device, software and project-level compatibility must be verified.

Group seal control

A group-level model that combines central policy and platform oversight with distributed sealing by legal entity, region or subsidiary.
