Next, proceeding to step 105, the control signal is used to control the first switch 9 of the activation module 4 such that the first switch 9 is closed, thereby causing the body character recognition module 5 to be turned on with the power source Vcc. Then, proceeding to step 107, the user feature collection sensor in the human body feature collection area 10 transmits the collected user feature information to the human body feature recognition module 5, and generates a recognition result. In step 109, the main control module 6 analyzes the recognition result and compares the identification result with existing user information in the memory. In step 111, if there is user information consistent with the recognition result, the user is allowed to further access the system of the user identification system 1 to proceed to step 113, otherwise the user's further access to the user identification system 1 is rejected, and the start portion is returned.

At this time, the first switch 9 is turned off. Thus, the main control module 6 is always connected to the power source Vcc through the second switch 11. In step 209, the main control module 6 performs a self-test. When no abnormality is found, the main control module 6 turns on the user information feature recognition module 5. In step 211, the human body feature collection area 10 transmits the user feature information collected by the user feature recognition sensor to the human body feature recognition module 5, and generates a recognition result. Then in step 213, the main control module 6 compares the recognition result with the existing user information in the memory, and determines whether to allow further access in step 215. If there is user information consistent with the recognition result, the user is allowed to further The access user identification system 1 proceeds to step 217, otherwise the user's access to the user identification system 1 is denied to return to the beginning portion. The agreed operation is completed in step 217. In step 219, it is judged whether or not the power is turned off. If there is a power-off signal in this case, the power-off operation is directly performed in step 225, and the start portion is returned. If there is no power down signal, continue with other functions in step 221 until the step 223 is followed. After the power-off signal is received, the power-off operation is performed in step 225, and finally returns to the beginning portion. In this embodiment, the first switch and the second switch are physically two separate switches. In practical applications, the two switches may also be physically a switch capable of realizing the functions of the two switches.
