Abstract
Systems for controlling activation of a device are provided. In some examples, a system may receive biometric data from a user requesting to activate an event processing device. The biometric data may be compared to pre-stored data associated with an authorized user. If the received biometric data matches pre-stored data, the system may transmit an instruction to an event processing device to activate the event processing device. In some examples, activating the event processing device may include enabling the device for use in processing events. For instance, a chip arranged on the event processing device may be activated and enabled for use in processing an event based on the instruction. In some examples, activating an event processing device may include transmitting an instruction to one or more light emitting diodes to illuminate. Illumination of the LEDs may make visible event processing device information in an information display region that is not visible when the LEDs are not illuminated.
