Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an apparatus, method, and electronic device. The apparatus includes a processor and a biometric sensor coupled to the processor. The biometric sensor is configured to detect a plurality of biometric features of a user. Each biometric feature may be associated with a value. The processor may determine a sequence of values from the biometric features. The processor may determine the sequence for comparison with a predetermined sequence of values to verify an identity of the user based, at least in part, on the comparison.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a biometric sensor coupled to the processor, the biometric sensor being configured to detect a plurality of biometric features of a user,
- wherein the processor:
- detects or collects texture information via the biometric sensor for a first biometric feature and a second biometric feature;
- determines whether the first biometric feature of the plurality of biometric features of the user matches first predetermined information, wherein the first predetermined information is previously collected biometric information of a biometric feature of the user detected by the biometric sensor;
- determines whether the first biometric feature is received via a finger in a first coordinate position in a sensing region of a touch screen of the biometric sensor;
- in response to the first biometric feature matching the first predetermined information, determines a first identifier corresponding to the first biometric feature, wherein the first identifier is determined by selecting the first identifier from a mapping that maps biometric features to unique identifiers;
- determines whether the second biometric feature of the plurality of biometric features of the user matches second predetermined information, wherein the second predetermined information is previously collected biometric information of a biometric feature of the user detected by the biometric sensor;
- in response to the second biometric feature matching the second predetermined information, determines a second identifier corresponding to the second biometric feature, wherein the second identifier is determined by selecting the second identifier from the mapping that maps biometric features to unique identifiers;
- determines whether the second biometric feature is received via a finger in a second coordinate position in the sensing region of the touch screen of the biometric sensor;
- and
- determines a sequence of identifiers received sequentially one at a time comprising the first identifier and the second identifier, wherein the sequence of identifiers is determined by a moment the first biometric feature is acquired, a moment the second biometric feature is acquired, the first coordinate position, and the second coordinate position, and the sequence of identifiers received sequentially one at a time is compared with a predetermined sequence of identifiers to verify an identity of the user based, at least in part, on the comparison.

- comparing the sequence of identifiers received sequentially one at a time with a predetermined sequence of identifiers;
- and
- verifying an identity of the user based, at least in part, on comparing the sequence of identifiers with the predetermined sequence of identifiers.
