I-ETA entsha yobuchwepheshe obusha yethulwe ukusula i-Australian Immigration

1. Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-ETA yase-Australia luwumphumela womzamo wokubambisana wokubambisana obandakanya ochwepheshe boMnyango Wezasekhaya wase-Australia, i-SITA, ne-Arq Group.
2. Yakhelwe futhi yathuthukiswa eSydney, uhlelo lokusebenza luvumela amazwe afanelekile ukuthi afake isicelo ngokuphepha se-ETA, ngemizuzu nje, kusuka kumadivayisi wabo weselula.
3. Kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe ukufaka idatha ngokuzenzakalela kusuka kuphasiphothi yomfakisicelo nokuthwebula ama-biometric abo, le nqubo yokuzivikela kakhulu ayikhulisi nje kuphela ukunemba nokunotha kwedatha kepha ithuthukisa kakhulu ulwazi lomsebenzisi.  

ISITA iphayone uhlelo lwe-ETA kuma-Olimpiki aseSydney ka-2000 ukunikeza iziphathimandla ukubonakala kusengaphambili ezigidini zezivakashi ezihlela ukweqa umngcele futhi zinciphise izingqinamba emanxusa ase-Australia nasezindaweni zokungena kwabokufika. Selokhu yethulwa, i-ETA ibime isikhathi eside futhi iholele indlela yokuthi ama-visa kagesi asungulwe njengesiteshi esijwayelekile sezinhlobo zama-visa ezilula (isb., IVisa lapho ifika) yiminyango yabokufika emhlabeni wonke.

I-Australia ihlala iyindawo edumile yokuvakasha futhi i-ETA APP izokhombisa ukusebenza kwayo ngemuva kwenkinga yamanje ye-COVID nezwe livulwa kabusha kubahambi.

Ngemuva kweminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 yokuguqulwa kobuchwepheshe obukhulu, bekuyisikhathi sokuvuselela i-ETA ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-ETA yase-Australia. Ubuchwepheshe obusha kanye nama-paradigms amasha enza ukuguquka okulindelwe ngumphakathi kokufinyelela, isipiliyoni, kanye nensizakalo, ikakhulukazi lapho ukusungula kuyinjini eyenza ushintsho.

Isigaba sokutholwa kanye nocwaningo sephrojekthi sasihilela ukuqonda izidingo zomuntu kanye nomuntu ohamba phambili. Igxile ekutholeni ukuqonda okujule kwezidingo zomfakisicelo, ezamabhizinisi, nezokuvakasha nokulindelwe ukuchaza uhambo lomsebenzisi oluzayo lokuphela kokuphela.

Ekwenzeni isixazululo sesimanjemanje besebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukile, iqembu belisinakile isidingo sokwethula umkhiqizo obonakalayo futhi ovikelekile ngenkathi liletha amakhono ayinkimbinkimbi aphathelene nokubanjwa kwedatha, ukuqinisekiswa, ukuzenzakalelayo kwabantu, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, ukuqinisekiswa kobunikazi. Senze ukuhlolwa okuphelele kwezobuchwepheshe, ukuhlanganisa, nokusebenzisa abasebenzisi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isisombululo silungile nokuthi amandla womsebenzisi ahlala enhliziyweni yomklamo. Isendlalelo sokukhipha sihlanganise bonke ubuchwepheshe besithathu, okwenza uhlelo lokusebenza lube ubufakazi besikhathi esizayo futhi kube lula kubuchwepheshe bamanje ukuthi buthathelwe indawo obusha futhi obungcono ngokuzayo.

Uhlelo lutholakala kuwo wonke amadivayisi. Ukugcina lokho kugxila kokuhlangenwe nakho komsebenzisi, uhlelo lokusebenza beludingeka ukunikela ngendlela elula neqondile yokuthola i-visa yase-Australia kuwo wonke amadivayisi kuwo womabili ama-platform we-iOS ne-Android.

Ngabe uhlelo lokusebenza lusebenza kanjani? 

Uhlelo lokusebenza lusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe beselula (i-Optical Character Recognition (OCR) ne-Near Field Communication (NFC)) ukuze kuthathwe futhi kufakwe kuqala imininingwane ebalulekile yepasipoti kanye nolwazi lobunikazi kusuka kwipasipoti. Ukuthwebula ngokunembile idatha yohlelo lokusebenza ebalulekile ngqo evela kumthombo othembekile kuqeda amaphutha wokufaka idatha nokungahambelani okuthinta ukucutshungulwa kwe-visa.

Uhlelo lokusebenza ligunyaza futhi liqinisekise amaphasiphothi e-elekhthronikhi ngokusebenzisa amandla we-NFC we-smartphone lapho kufakwa khona isicelo kunasemingceleni ephathekayo. Ukufinyelela ku-chip chip passport kutholakala ngokusebenzisa i-OCR ukufunda i-Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) engaphakathi kwepasipoti nokuthola ukhiye. Lo khiye uvumela ukuthi i-chip itholakale futhi iqinisekiswe kusetshenziswa izitifiketi zedijithali eziphakathi kwe-chip, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ipasipoti ingeyangempela futhi i-chip ayonakalisiwe. Lapho nje i-chip isiqinisekisiwe, kufakwa imininingwane ye-chip - equkethe idokhumende, imininingwane kamazisi, nesithombe sedijithali somnikazi wepasipoti. Ngemuva kwalokho kuqhathaniswa nokuthwebula isithombe se-selfie ngaphambi kokuqhubeka.

Inqubo yokuthwebula isithombe se-selfie yenza impilo eyinkimbinkimbi kanye nokuhlola ukulwa nokuqothulwa kwamaphrofayli amaningi ebusweni, okuqinisa ukuqinisekiswa kobunikazi bomfakisicelo. Lokhu kuhlolwa okubalulekile kwezokuphepha kwenziwa ngokukhululeka ngesikhathi sangempela ngohlelo lokusebenza ngaphandle kokuphazamisa umfakisicelo.

I-OCR, i-NFC, isithombe se-selfie nokuphila okuyinkimbinkimbi, nokuhlolwa kokulwa nokwenziwa kwezinto kuhlanganiswe ngaphakathi kohlelo lokusebenza ngendlela enoveli, kulokho esikholelwa ukuthi kungokokuqala emhlabeni jikelele.

Abahambi baphathisa uhlelo lokusebenza ngenye yezimpahla zabo ezibaluleke kakhulu — idatha yabo. Ukuxazulule kanjani ukukhathazeka kwangasese ekukhuleni kwayo?

Siqashe indlela yobumfihlo ngokuklama kukho konke ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lokusebenza, ngokuqala ngokuhlolwa komthelela wobumfihlo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi yonke imiyalo, ukuphathwa kwedatha nokugcinwa kuthobela izidingo zobumfihlo eziqinile zikahulumeni wase-Australia. 

Yonke idatha yomuntu siqu igcinwa esikhwameni semali esivikelekile kudivayisi yomsebenzisi. Ayikho idatha eyabiwe nabanye ababambiqhaza, ngaphandle koMnyango Wezasekhaya, odinga ulwazi ukucubungula izicelo ze-ETA. Imigomo nemibandela isungulwe ngokusobala ngaphakathi kohlelo lokusebenza ukuze umsebenzisi ayamukele ngaphambi kokuqhubeka. Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi idatha igcinwa kanjani ivikelekile, nokuthi isetshenziswa futhi ivikelwe kanjani lapho idluliselwa kwabasekhaya.

Ukuqhubeka nokuqinisekisa ubumfihlo bomuntu siqu, abafakizicelo bangasusa imininingwane yabo kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza zangaphambilini kusuka kuhlelo lokusebenza nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, onke amadivayisi abhaliswe yi-ejenti yezokuvakasha nawo angafaka isicelo egameni labafakizicelo awagcini idatha yomfakisicelo noma yohlelo lokusebenza kudivayisi yabo ngemuva kokufakwa kwesicelo. 

Uhlelo lokusebenza lusebenzisa isitoreji sendawo esivikelekile kanye nezivumelwano eziqinile zokufakazela ubuqiniso. Konke ukuxhumana phakathi kwensiza nezinhlelo ze-backend kubethelwe, kuqinisekisa ukuvikelwa okuphelele nokulawulwa kwedatha yomsebenzisi.

Kube yini impendulo kuze kube manje? 

Kusukela ekuqaleni, inqubo yokwakhiwa kwesipiliyoni ibeke phambili ukusetshenziswa okulula komfakisicelo ngokuhlangenwe nakho okungenangqondo futhi okunembile komsebenzisi kuwo womabili amapulatifomu e-iOS naku-Android. Uhlelo lokusebenza oluholelwe lutholwe kahle, abasebenzisi abaningi begcwalisa ukusetshenziswa okulula nokusebenziseka kalula.

Ukuqapha okuqhubekayo, i-analytics yokuziphatha, kanye nempendulo yomsebenzisi kuyingxenye yendlela yesisombululo. Amandla wokuvuselela uhlelo lokusebenza ngokushesha anike amandla izithuthukisi ukusiza ngokufunda izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zamaphasiphothi, ukuhlinzeka ukwesekwa kusimo sokucubungula, kanye nokugqwayiza okuthuthukisiwe kokuqondiswa kokufundiswa. 

Impendulo eyigugu enikezwe abafakizicelo ngokusebenzisa izitolo zohlelo lokusebenza nomsebenzi woxhumana nathi wohlelo lokusebenza kuqhube ezinye izinguquko nokuthuthuka okwenziwe kusukela kuqale umshayeli, ngaleyo ndlela kuqiniswa uhlelo lokusebenza.

Ukuzibandakanya kwamaqembu womsebenzisi womhlaba wonke wokuhlola amadivayisi ahlukene nokuqoqa ulwazi lomuzwa womsebenzisi kuqinisekise ukuthi uhlelo lokusebenza lusebenza ezindaweni ezixakile zedivayisi nokuhlukahluka kwepasipoti kagesi. Kusukela kuthunyelwe kohlelo ngo-Okthoba 2020, seluvele lwenze kwaba lula ukuhambela e-Australia ezinkulungwaneni zabantu ngesikhathi sobhadane.
