## Abstract

The present invention provides a scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module. The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module includes: an inner tube, an outer tube, and a fingerprint identification module. After collecting and determining a fingerprint of a user, the fingerprint identification module drives an electromagnetic module in the inner tube to engage the inner tube with the outer tube, so that the outer tube and the inner tube are interlocked.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module, comprising:
an inner tube;
an outer tube; and
a fingerprint identification module; wherein
after collecting and determining a fingerprint of a user, the fingerprint identification module drives an electromagnetic module to enable the outer tube to interlock with the inner tube,
wherein the inner tube comprises an accommodation portion and a tube body of the inner tube, an end surface of the accommodation portion comprises at least one through hole, the accommodation portion is configured to accommodate the electromagnetic module, the electromagnetic module comprises at least one guide rod, and the at least one guide rod corresponds to the at least one through hole; the outer tube comprises an engagement portion and a tube body of the outer tube, the outer tube is coaxially sleeved outside the tube body of the inner tube and is slideable with respect to the tube body of the inner tube, the engagement portion comprises at least one groove, and the at least one groove corresponds to the at least one through hole.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint identification module is disposed on a second end that is coaxial with and in a direction opposite to the accommodation portion, and is fixed on the tube body of the inner tube.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic module comprises a first control portion and a second control portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 3, wherein the second control portion generates a magnetic force after being powered on and drives the electromagnetic module to move axially, so that the at least one guide rod passes through the at least one through hole and is engaged with the at least one groove, enabling the outer tube to interlock with the inner tube.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 3, wherein the first control portion generates a magnetic force after being powered on and drives the electromagnetic module to move axially, so that the at least one guide rod disengages from the at least one groove and the outer tube cannot interlock with the inner tube.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 1, wherein the fingerprint identification module is a capacitive fingerprint identification module or an optical fingerprint identification module.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 1, further comprising a grip sleeve, wherein the grip sleeve is sleeved on the tube body of the outer tube.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The scooter handle having a fingerprint identification module according to claim 1, wherein an annular groove is provided on a surface of the tube body of the inner tube, a convex ring is provided on an inner wall of the tube body of the outer tube, and the annular groove is configured to be engaged with the convex ring, to limit axial movement of the outer tube.
