1. A terminal device comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store at least one instruction that, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to:
recognize an entry of the terminal device into a specific area based on receiving a message from a communication device associated with the specific area, wherein the communication device forwards the message based on authenticating the terminal device for a short-range wireless communication with the communication device during a preset time range after a security device mapped to the specific area is unlocked, and wherein the preset time range corresponds to a time for a user of the terminal device to travel into the specific area after unlocking the security device and for the communication device and the terminal device to connect via the short-range wireless communication;
identify a security level of the terminal device in the specific area based on a particular security level for the specific area and information in the message from the communication device identifying a recognition scheme used by the security device mapped to the specific area to recognize the user of the terminal device; and
automatically perform a service when the identified security level satisfies a required security level.
