If the biometric module fails to perform biometric authentication, the biometric module may fail or the identity may not be successfully identified. At this time, the control unit will automatically activate the security setting device through the setting switching means in step S609. Another authentication function for setting the security status performs identity authentication using other backup schemes. When the authentication is successful, as in step S611, a setting signal can still be issued after confirming the identity. In step S613, the security is successfully set or cancelled.

According to the embodiment, when establishing a security system, one or more of the security setting devices disclosed in the above embodiments may be provided. Each security setting device establishes a connection with a device whose security status is set through a communication unit, and may pass the security setting device. Connect directly or indirectly (such as via a security host) to the Control Center. Each security setting device can mainly authenticate the user's identity with biometric technology. Once the biometrics are successfully verified, a setting signal is transmitted through the communication unit to set the security status.

To sum up, different from the traditional way of setting or canceling security with an identification card, the security setting device and related methods proposed in the above embodiments provide security users to set or cancel security through biometrics themselves. The security setting device itself It can bear the biometric authentication, and does not need to transmit the message to the security host or the control center. Therefore, users can set or cancel the security directly on the client side, without the need for the security company to dispatch staff, which can reduce the attendance costs and waiting time of security personnel. .
