1. A method for user recognition, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by information receiving circuitry, a signal containing user information, wherein the information receiving circuitry comprises a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to receive user identification (ID) bits, gesture definition bits, and reserved bits from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag;

    capturing, by image capturing circuitry, an image of a user associated with the user information;

    detecting, by processing circuitry, facial features of the user in the captured image;

    detecting, by the image capturing circuitry, a location of a gesture associated with the received user information in the captured image;

    recognizing, by the processing circuitry, a user identity based at least partially on a relative position of the gesture and a movement of the detected user face;

    recording, by the processing circuitry, habits associated with the gesture; and

    providing, by a service providing device, a personalized service in accordance with the user identity.
